sanahtlig Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yumina the Ethereal The RPG mechanics are actually a visualization of debate battles, and during their attacks they shout out lines like "Your logic is flawed!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugi Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 KoiChoco, I guess? Although the politics are only really significant in a couple of the routes. Also (I haven't read it) I assume My Girlfriend is the President has some sort of debating in it. Oh, do courtroom cases count as debates? If so, Phoenix Wright is good too.

Deep Blue Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 swan song, there are many debates, there is specially good one where they are talking about if killing a person is ok or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonidasTan Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Thanks for the recommendations guys. 34 minutes ago, Mugi said: Also (I haven't read it) I assume My Girlfriend is the President has some sort of debating in it. Yeah it had that one debate scene debating their love for the protagonist and other current affairs matters although it wasn't actually a serious one. 34 minutes ago, sanahtlig said: Yumina the Ethereal The RPG mechanics are actually a visualization of debate battles, and during their attacks they shout out lines like "Your logic is flawed!" Sounds interesting. I'll give this one a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we'd be debating about visual novels. LeonidasTan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 The problem is that, even irl, most people find debates uninteresting... weirdos like me like to read the transcripts, but most people don't even like to watch them live.

Arcadeotic Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well, I'm sure these have been mentioned, but: Yumina the Ethereal Koi to Senkyou to Chocolate These have great debate-based themes, you should try them Also Morighita Michiru, that is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clephas Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Mm... to be honest, DS9 would be a definite recommendation for you if you could understand Japanese, because it is done in a pretty much classic debate format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 debates can be good and interesting or really bad and boring it all depends on the subject they are debating and if you like that subject in particular...for example koichoko debates are crap for me because they are all about the management of the school which is really boring (again for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well, debate as a 'sport' involves being assigned a 'position' on an 'issue' as a team and being required to defend it with both logical and emotional arguments, convincing the judges and/or audience of their position's correctness. In the case of 'sport' debates, you aren't given an option of which position to take, so you might find yourself defending a position you yourself don't believe in. The primary skill of a debater in this case is being able to consider the benefits of all sides, figure out in advance what arguments the other side is likely to use, and basically dismantle their logic while pressing yours. Incidentally, it can be said that most political debates are actually closer to this, as politicians are required by their desire to get elected to frequently take positions they might find personally objectionable.

Deep Blue Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Well in Greece when they were teaching rhetoric they often made you defend something (a random subject was assigned to you) and then contra-argument what you said, the goal was to convince the ones who were testing you and see if you were able to convince them both way. Sadly or luckily depending the way you see it I had to study it for school since rhetoric is a big part of being a lawyer (not in the same way as in USA for example since there are no trials with juries here) Again I find the process really interesting but it all comes down to the subject itself that is being debated.

CeruleanGamer Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Tags you might be interested in on vndb if you love debates: Courtroom Battle of Wits Oh even though it's also Japanese, I had tons of laughs at this because of the parody and fourth wall breaking. https://vndb.org/v2941 Arcadeotic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZedge Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 That i know of, Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate has a lot of debate discussions aswell as actuall debates in the school itself but i'm not that knowledgeable in this particular thing.
