Vagabond Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm not surprised about the already out there topic, but it's fun to get your voice out there. I'm still getting used to it. My first VN, DanganRonpa, which started my Upupupupupup craze on this fascinating series. Played all the games with my Vita, DR, DR2, and DRAE. Can't wait for V3!

MercyZombie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My first visual novel was Private Nurse of all things. That's one you rarely see mentioned which is not really that surprising. I haven't read it since then and it was about seven/eight years ago so my memory of it is a bit vague. Try not to shoot me if my memory is wrong anywhere. The main character is suffering from some (poorly explained) disease and some cute nurse shows up declaring she is going to live with him for a month and in that time cure him completely. Hilarity and drama of course ensues.The whole cast pretty much only consists of the main character, the (private) nurse, the childhood friend that wakes him up each morning, because of course she does, and the school nurse which seem to have some pretty unscientific ideas about medical treatment. It almost sounds like the premise of some nukige. I remember thinking it was alright, but I doubt it would hold up today. In fact it probably wouldn't hold up even then but I didn't have anything to compare it with back then. I did like the idea that you unlocked afterstories after you finished a route. Sadly they were all very samey and mostly was an excuse to have more h-scenes. One day I might reread it to see how I would like it now but all in all I think I can thank Yume Miru Kusuri and Kira☆Kira a lot more for my interest in visual novels.

I can save you the trouble. Private nurse was terrible, so don't waste your time. If you're going to read anything (old) by the same game maker then go play Heart De Roommate instead.

I'll keep your opinion in mind. It's not really high priority anyway considering my huge backlog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexyvil Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My first VN had to be Phoenix Wright. I tried it one time in 2010 and the concept of a story being the largest aspect in a game rather than the gameplay was a unique experience. Because of that, I felt more immersed than I normally was while playing any other game. As someone who plays games for their music and not just for the gameplay mechanics and story, knowing that VNs put strong emphasis on music made me want to experience them more. And thus, I found 999 as my first official VN (in-case some would think the Phoenix Wright series isn't really classified as a VN). Nonetheless, if it wasn't for Phoenix Wright or 999, I wouldn't have stumbled on other great VNs today that further changed my personality in the best possible way.

QDaranai Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Umineko No Naku Koro Ni, right after the Higurashi anime. I wasn't really scared by the length since i devoured it all in 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamysyu Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Oh, revive you ancient thread! Just wanted to create a similar topic and decided to search through the existing ones instead. My first VN was Rewrite. Kenshin_sama and Plk_Lesiak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0xm2n Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 First one I've seen? A let's play of the first Ace Attorney game. Then earlier this year, someone streaming some of Steins;Gate. First one I've played? Grisaia no Kajitsu (like so many others here apparently xD). Laughs were had, feels were experienced, and a certain flashback (and especially it's music) are forever burned into memory, due to how haunting it was. I've since played Kono Oozora ni Tsubasa wo Hirogete (one of the routes had an amazing finale), Grisaia No Meiyuu (dat cliffhanger ending, and the unrated version of the next game isn't out yet), and Katawa Shoujo (pretty unique, I liked some of it's characters). Currently playing through CLANNAD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandemonai Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'm honestly not even sure I remember what my first VN was anymore. I think it was Three Sisters' Story. I liked it at the time. I can't imagine I'd be all that impressed today. Very few titles from those days are still any good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first VN was a 20-minute long Russian kinetic novel I found on an RPG Maker forum. It doesn't have a vndb page, and I didn't even know what VNs were back then.

Thread necromancy is an ancient and noble art indeed. :3 The first VN I've ever played was Analogue: A Hate Story, it grabbed me in a huge way and probably very much influenced my perspective on the genre (with how much I like smaller, western made ones and stuff...). Although I've started reading VNs consistently much later. The first Japanese one, years after that, was Flowers -Le Volume sur Printemps-. I pretty much instantly fell in love with it and it definitely cemented my taste for yuri. But even more than that, I still consider it the prettiest game I've ever played. I hope the other three parts get their English releases soon. In a few years I should get my Japanese to the level good enough to read the originals, but I don't want to wait that long. :'( Edited November 26, 2017 by Plk_Lesiak Dreamysyu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
