Mr Poltroon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 There are loads of Romance Visual Novels, in fact, most of them are Romance in one way or the other. But what I'm looking for here is something a bit different. Romance Visual Novels usually go like this: Crush-Drama (small)-Confession-Fluff-Drama (big)-Drama resolved-Epilogue What I'm looking for, is Visual Novels focused or with a lot of that 'Fluff'. The Fluff is basically the interactions between the boyfriend and the girlfriend and the world. The flirting, the affection, the support they show to each other and all that. This doesn't mean H-Scenes all day everyday, if I wanted that, any Nukige would do. In fact, H-scenes aren't important at all for what I'm looking for, The best example I could possibly give you is in the CLANNAD anime. After some point, we see that Nagisa and Tomoya are always together, and later, it is visibly noticeable that they are boyfriend-girlfriend. That's what I'm looking for. The interactions between them that are at some point taken for granted, that's what I want to see more of. If you are going to recommend something, I request that you explain why you think it fits the criteria. I also ask that you check my VNDB before hand, since I've played a bunch of stuff. (if you so wish, anime that fits the criteria is fine by me too) Thank you kindly for your efforts to find something for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 August's games tend to have a fair amount of fluff, from my experiences. There are a few drama laden routes (such as the required first route in Yoake Mae yori Ruri Iro na), but overall they're pretty fluffy stories that focus on day to day slice of life stuff. Expect some drama, but also expect more fluff than usual. Except for Eustia, which is totally different from everything they've ever done. None of them have completed translation patches yet. Fortune Arterial and Yoake have partial patches with several routes translated each, but Fortune Arterial's project looks to be dead while the team for Yoake are taking their sweet time finishing that one up despite completing TL and editing many months ago. In general, there aren't a lot of fluffy drama-light VNs translated to english. At first everyone was rushing to translate all of the VNs with deep stories or with dramatic romances or whatever have you. Simple moege wasn't that popular with translators but it seems more are going that route these days. There are a few Yuzusoft projects currently in translation that might fit what you're looking for somewhat decently, though.

Ivan A. Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I´m not sure I understand correctly. What you mean is... generic, old school Romance?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I´m not sure I understand correctly. What you mean is... generic, old school Romance?? Er... I don't know if I can explain it any better than I already did. But what you said is the right idea. People tend to prefer action-drama filled stories, but right now, I'm looking for generic slice-of-life romance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t need a heavy story or anything alike. Anyway, if the top of my head, To Heart 2 X-Rated(http://erogegames.com/heart-2-252/). It´s as generic as you can get, and I highly recommend it. It´s partially translated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookwormOtaku Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Otoboku's pretty good if you want some light hearted slice of life. I'll just link my review for justification: http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2013/07/games-for-adults-otome-wa-boku-ni.html Edelweiss and its fandisk are also good reads, though fair warning the first couple hours of Edelweiss playwise I consider not to be very good, though things get significantly better soon after: http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2012/10/games-for-adults-edelweiss.html http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2012/10/games-for-adults-edelweiss.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn´t go on after 10 minutes because the beggining look really stupid. But if you say it get´s better after that I might have to give it another try.

I'll just link my review for justification:http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2013/07/games-for-adults-otome-wa-boku-ni.html Eventually, I would get there, but I prefer to do licensed titles one at the time. Unfortunately for me, I can either be full of money, or have none at all, and at the moment, I'm in the latter category. Edelweiss and its fandisk are also good reads, though fair warning the first couple hours of Edelweiss playwise I consider not to be very good, though things get significantly better soon after:http://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2012/10/games-for-adults-edelweiss.htmlhttp://gamesforadultsandeveryone.blogspot.com/2012/10/games-for-adults-edelweiss.html x2 FTW Another one I had no idea about, thanks.

Ivan A. Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Here´s another one Canvas 2, with more generic stories but stll really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It´s as generic as you can get, and I highly recommend it. It´s partially translated. I've actually been playing this for the last few days. I think it would be pretty good if the translation wasn't so bad. However, I would say that in almost all of the routes it ends almost immediately after they discover their love. It doesn't really seem like what he wants. All of the slice of life stuff happens prior to the romance rather than after. edit: Coupled with the Canvas 2 suggestion, I'm still not sure you actually understand what he's looking for. Well, canvas 2 might be better for that kind of thing than to heart 2, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens quite often in visual novels but it never goes into much detail, and instead skips to the action or drama. Something is better than nothing. While you are also correct there, for this particular list I'm looking for quality over quantity. This is because even though I'd like some fluff, too much of it would be indigestible, that's why usually games have plots, because what I'm looking for isn't good for marathoning and too much of, since it's repetitive.

There's such a good saying for these situations in my native language... I wonder if there's an English equivalent... Já cá não está quem falou.
