Fate/Extra CCC?! I wonder if the Type-Moon fans that joined later on are really aware that this is just a fun contest and they will neither get Mahoyo nor Fate/Extra CCC even if they'll win. Someone still think that the game which will top the conquest will be translated? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdomcome Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Uhhh, can't believe White Album 2 lost. Not going to vote in this current poll, but looks like Mahoyo will lose regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Album 2 didn't have enough support here in the west compared to Type Moon fans who want everything from them to be translated and brought over here.

The hype is pretty real; Fate/Stay Night is well worth your time. It's standing at #7 overall ranking at VNDB, and from my (admittedly limited) experience, it deserves a ranking around there. kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think most of the people clamoring for them have even tried them either. They have played Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night and based off of their love for those VNs, they want more Type Moon over here. kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's understandable, I also wanted the same thing with Akabei Soft2 (developer of G-senjou no Maou and Sharin No Kuni) . Though it seems the rest of their VN's are.. below average. 7 minutes ago, Down said: (but ofc that comes from english jp readers who are pissed off at the english TM fanbase) Sounds like an elitist attitude.

I highly doubt any of them will be on the quality of those two though. kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akatsuki Works, the makers of Comyu, spun off from them and kinda interest me more now, although I'll always appreciate AS2 for G-senjou and SnK. Hello Lady! is supposed to be really good but it's reportedly pretty difficult to read in Japanese, so it probably won't get a translation unless someone really commits. Please, don't let ixrec get his hands on that one... kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound off and presumably greatly change the writing style, not mentioning the fact that they're sometimes so literal it changes the meaning. Cross Channel is supposed to be an almost entirely different VN in Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't either, but outside of normal conversations, his TLs tend to sound kinda strange in English. All of his that I've read seem to, and I've read Comyu, Cross Channel, and part of Inganock. There's a reason that they're heavily QC'ing MuvLuv and not just using his exact TL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeruleanGamer Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 NVL type VNs are annoying to read in my experience. Wall-o-text format is a freaking torture to read because I cant see my pretty waifu's faces and expressions more clearly. Thats why I'll never vote for any Type Moon games even if their story is better. #GoBaldr!Webelieve! kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Type Moon dont fucking know what being concise means and drag on narrations and descriptions for way too long, and I am not too fond of their writing style. Gahkthun did inner monologues and narration with ADV style really well, so I dont know why the fuck Type Moon is still using this annoying ass format. It's called "Visual" Novel for fucks sakes, not wall-o-text novel. kingdomcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our generation can communicate using emojis alone! Can you believe that? You should be able to read VNs through sprite expressions more than getting slapped by a dozens of paragraphs.

I like TM's writing to some extent, though at some point I just get tired of it, not like it doesn't happens with other great works anyway. I find it kinda lazy to just dump everything on the artwork, specially since sprites are heavily limited when you compare them to other visual mediums such as manga. Dozens of well written paragraphs will make things clearer than a line stating the character's current mood coupled with the same facial expression used throughout the whole story. If the MC's loved one was killed by the antagonist right in front of him, I want more than just a line or two stating that he's angry and the same angry sprite that was used when someone stole the chocolate he was saving for the weekend. If the visuals weren't so limited, I surely would think more highly of ADV. Still, I love books so NVL will probably be my favorite forever. Now that I think about it, Quartett might be a good example of good "ADV", maybe I should try reading it to form a better opinion on the matter.
