babiker Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yo, it's been quite a while since I last posted anything here... But hey, good to show up every now and thenĀ Me and my buds at FuwaFM just had a long podcast about this topic, and I am interested in hearing what ya'll would pick. If it were left with me and me alone, I'd probably pick Rewrite. Imo it's not only one of the best VNs out there, it's a very good example of how to use the medium right. The way all of its routes tie into one another and how the plot is different yet connected to every other route really shows how unique of a story a VN can tell. The podcast itself was more of a game, with a long list of all of the VNs the four of us are at least somewhat familiar with. We get to remove VNs from that list one by one, and the last VN standing is the winner. We also added the shield mechanic, which allows a member to stop a VN from dying, permanently halting the killer's ability to attack that particular VN again, although others can still kill it.

fun2novel Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 It's a cruel question, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asonn Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Do I need to pick one? or can I say fuck all VNs. but if I had to pick one it would be Natsukuru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funyarinpa Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Probably The House In Fata Morgana forĀ me, although it does not exploit choices as well as I'd want it to (it's mostly linear). Virtue's Last Reward is by far the best about choice (and consequence) from what I've seen, but it's not standalone, so it's ruled out. Edit: Could have considered Umineko instead forĀ much of the same reasons, but again, thanks to the fact that it has no choices, it's ruled out (trying to find a VN that would provide a suitable baseline to "rebuild" the genre).

Kaguya Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The Best Eroge Ever. 5 minutes of shitty references to games that no longer exist.

Zidan209 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Just for the sake of it, i would pick Euphoria, so everyone will have to play it, if they want to read VNs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onorub Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Fate/Stay Night, but if the removal affected history i'd easily pick YU-NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's pretty different. Removing all VNs but onĀ efrom existence will have a profound impact on everything, from the dominating country producing VNs to the very nature and culture of the medium. Your choice would affect the past, present and future you want to live in, not just your favorite fap material at any given moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ev10111542 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Probably one i haven't read yet. Though if I had to choose only one visual novel that I could experienceĀ readingĀ I'd have to choose Shiny Days.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Were I to chose, I would chose The Fruit of Grisaia. Since it's big and mostly comedy and action, I can essentially reread it as many times as I want. Mindless. It also happens to be my favourite VN.

Benji Price Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'd wipe them all out! I'm too anxious to pick one. And even if I did, I'd regret my decision next day. Still, without thinking too much... G-Senjou no Maou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmore Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I've invested too much in Fate/Grand Order to let Fate/Stay Night disappear. Barring that - The Best Eroge Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldstrykr Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) remove all visual novels from eXistence eXcept one? how fuck am i? well ill choose harukoi otome gotta love ruriĀ or hoshiZora no memoria for: or pick a VN with so many sequels and fandisc ^^ Edited April 11, 2017 by wyldstrykr Barktooth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barktooth Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I still think it essentially comes down to your favorite game. If this choice affects the future of the genre, I'd want subsequent games to beĀ patternedĀ after my favorite so that there would be a higher chance of me enjoying them. In that case, I'd have to pick HoshiMemo. Still, while it would be regrettable to have my experience of playing that game vanish as if it never happened, I reckon it could be more interesting to leave in existence a VN I haven't read yet. For that, it would have to be one thatĀ I'm looking forward to reading a lot... That would probably be Hapymaher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
