Alexander Thomas
I have a high opinion of swords.
Jordan Collins
I choose this thread, shitposting is fun until someone bends the rules.
Lucas Price
I like lolis, imoutos, cakes AND onee-sans!
Nolan Diaz
I am not going to another damn Runa edition. If this thread sinks so be it.
In the meantime I will play Uta2 again but on hard mode this time.
Kayden Brooks
What length do you prefer? I like the standard 70 cm.
Josiah Cook
I will wait for the 18+ patch before reading Dies Irae.
Michael Hughes
Not long until Dies Irae is out.
Jason Perez
I-I'm playing Uta 1 on hardmode! W-we should l-like get together sometime.
Adrian Turner
How easy is normal? I remember the later stages of the game (especially last boss) being a fair challenge on normal.
Gavin James
How are you going to avoid spoilers for 3 months?
Nathaniel Roberts
Don't bother. The first game isn't even fun on higher difficulties, it's just a chore. The designers ramped up difficulty in the most annoying ways possible.
Jace Martin
While I totally agree that this cutiepie needs banging, you can just read h-scenes in japanese(or MTL), lol. Not that they are very hard to read or high on plot details.
Alexander Anderson
I have a personal preference for rapiers, which are about 100 cm. No homo.
Cameron Phillips
I'm just playing on hardmode 1 right now, and it's not too much of a challenge, you just have to entrap a single enemy while spamming heal on the person who takes the hits.
Kevin Martin
>mfw reading Umineko
Aaron Rivera
Spoilers don't actually bother me. Nah, I'll just wait. Not like reading visual novels is my only hobby.
Mason Davis
Normal mode isn't that difficult until the post game where there are, I think, about three maps that are genuinely quite hard. Dunno about hard 1. I know on hard 3 they pretty much exclusively target Hakuoro or Eruruw so you always have to go and hide in a corner. It's not fun, especially since you can't even heal Eruruw and she's super slow in both movement and turn order.
Caleb Nguyen
We could use more rapiers in action VNs, katanas are too prevalent.
Thomas Miller
...
Luke Bell
how would you read the hscenes without also installing the jp version and fastforwarding to the right hscenes every time you hit them in the en version
seems rather tedious and not worth the trouble
Cameron Murphy
...
Christian Taylor
Rapiers are inherently elegant and thus, are only used by refined gentlemen.
Justin Green
Or you could read the VN now and wait 3 months to jack off to some awkwardly placed H-scenes later (probably 10 minutes worth of it).
Nolan Baker
I'm actually really fucking hyped for Dies irae
Brayden Gutierrez
Are the h-scenes in DI detached then? If they are then I might not wait for the 18+ version
Matthew Johnson
I'm sure you could just download a completed save and just go use replay mode.
Sebastian Moore
No
Jace Smith
It's your choice but I'm warning you, it's probably not what you think you're signing up for.
But if you insist, enjoy your Tubal Cain h-scenes and Rusalka gangbanging a school.
Ethan Anderson
now that you mention it, i could do that. i guess the problem would be finding the save then
Noah Thomas
Liu was quite the refined gentleman, I must admit.
Opposite actually, they are attaching the H-scenes from a previous version of the game to the latest one.
Brandon Wright
>Rusalka gangbanging a school Sounds hot.
Noah Allen
>loli gangbang Sign me the fuck up
Asher Kelly
>this hobbo thinks he can outrange me with his rapier >*opens a portal behind you and stab you through it.* Hehe, nothing personnel, shounen. Ren is Mercurius and Reinhard's love child! Because they are more brittle I guess. You can just dl a complete save and watch scenes from the extras menu,lel. You need to install a jp version though. B-but you will forget all about them in 3 months. The tension, the compassion to characters, the empathy! They're not. I'm actually curious how they handle cutting them cause one scene is like the beginning of relationship with Kei.She needs a mana transfer and shit.
Adrian Perry
>Rusalka gangbanging a school WTF I am waiting for H-patch now!
Eli Morales
>rusalka gangbanging a school wtf im waiting for the 18+ patch now
Jaxson Hernandez

Gavin Perez
...
Jayden Sanders
Liu is a huge cuck though. Can cucks be gentlemen?
Asher Morris
You could read nip Amantes Amentes. I mean, cutting them out isn't a western thing to get the game on Steam, you know? The DI release being translated didn't have them to begin with
Oliver Russell
Well, /vn/?
Oliver Hughes
What's up with all the dies posting going on now? Is it releasing today?
Isaac Phillips
I actually started reading with Amantes but after I came across the scene with Kasumi in the beginning, I thought - wtf is that censorship and started Acta est fabula. Also, Kei is cute in her h-scenes. Why would I lose that?
Blake Myers
Nah, he was just unfortunate enough to end up with a slut, guy had it rough.
Alexander Rodriguez
31st, so not long left.
Cameron Perry
I will be able to read it some day....
Nathaniel Reyes
They were originally part of the story, but removing them and writing around them has already been done in AmaAme. If you play it without the H-scenes you're just reading AmaAme as it was released, if you play the 18+ version you're getting them in the same way they were presented in AeF.
There's no issues of 'legitimacy', basically, both the 18+ and all-ages versions are effectively translations of full and complete retail versions of the game.
Brayden Perez
>I'm actually curious how they handle cutting them cause one scene is like the beginning of relationship with Kei.She needs a mana transfer and shit. Maybe that "fade to black" off-screen sex or cropped cg with toned down moans?
Elijah Nguyen
My loli
Isaiah Gonzalez
So, it's like FSN Realta Nua, basically
Luke Fisher
A game is called "Please save my wife". What do you think? Of course he is the gentleman. Still, it's nowhere near "Please kill my future wife" by the same company. How did they workaround the Kei's first h-scene then? Fate's Dragons?
Cooper Perry
>They were originally part of the story, but removing them and writing around them has already been done in AmaAme How did they remove/write around them? Did they just imply things happend off screen/ do a fade to black kind of thing?
Gabriel Jones
Oh, I guess we've escaped the moefags edition cycle. Good. Have some Beatrice.
Dominic Ward
Will you fight, user?
Ayden Flores
CG dragons
Carter Mitchell
>But if you insist, enjoy your Tubal Cain h-scenes and Rusalka gangbanging a school. I'm waiting for the 18+ because I want to see Rusalka gangbanging a school fool!
Levi Jackson
I'd join Mephistopheles' side in an instant tbqh.
Tyler Stewart
After everyone has played and is tired of Dies Ire in a week, /vn/ will go back to being the moege general.
Brayden Jones
Why are you trying this hard to convince anons you don't know to read the VN immediately? Do you have some kind of stake in this?
Christopher Reed
Nah, Sorcery Jokers is almost done being translated and edited by MG, probably coming out with SukiSuki this summer
Jaxson Moore
I absolutely loved that scene, I was getting goosebumps as I was reading it. No wonder Reinhard is called Mephistopheles, that scene felt like it was straight out of Dr. Faustus.
Caleb Cox
I get chuuni powers and I don't even have to suck a dick? Sign me the fuck up.
Elijah Lee
>Finishing it in a week. Pfft, you are delusional. >reading it with fellow anons. >kind of stake I guess...?
Michael Wood
>Sorcery Jokers Why would that get priority over ImoPara 2, Dal Segno and especially Princess Evangile W?
Don't get me wrong, I'm waiting for SJ too but there's other things in line
You're trying too hard
Sebastian Sullivan
>filtered Dies Irae >half of the thread gone Damn.
Leo Myers
Who's leaving /vn/ when Dies Irae comes out?
Oliver Peterson
Will you read Dies irae with me fellow user?
Tyler Gonzalez
Dal Segno has just finished beta. So is likely to be out first.
Jayden Sullivan
wait, SukiSuki is not a moege?
Asher Bailey
Hey so for the three other guys who still care about Libra, the game is on Steam now so full game soon! Fingers crossed
Also there was some kind of issue with installing the 18+ patch but it's fixed
Jacob James
Don't worry, I'll make sure to make a kamunagara edition once in while just to annoy you.
James Parker
They just don't happen. They usually take place directly after an emotional scene between Ren and the relevant heroine in question anyway, so the important story beat is still there even if you remove them. Though I guess it's left a bit ambiguous in some cases (Kei), and you can probably assume scenes like where Liza 'revives' Tubal Cain can be taken to have happened offscreen unmentioned.
>How did they workaround the Kei's first h-scene then?
I honestly don't remember, it's not particularly important, but I think they just had Ren tend to her wounds, there was no 'mana transfer' or anything.
Christopher Taylor
It is
Daniel Young
>music of the VN isn't half bad >OST is impossible to find online >no music player in extras why is this even allowed
Robert Peterson
What does Reinhard mean by "ghetto"?
Tyler Flores
>mfw vn turned me from an angry person to a depressed person i guess this is better?
Elijah Flores
Heroines can reject you, one of them(childhood friend) calls you disgusting after failed confesision in bad end. Yes, it's moege.
Isaiah Jones
>Imopara 2 nukige
>Dal Segno lol, more like budget Da Capo 3 and we all know what happened to that release
>Evangelion kusoge
Easton Morales
>he isn't going to spend all his time reading it to get to the memes as fast as possible If you haven't read it within a week you will miss out. Just like with Chrono Clock where threads were full of caps for a week then died quickly.
Adam Gray
>Dal Segno Budget Da Capo, nakige with shoeshorned short as fuck 1-2 H per heroine.
Easton Harris
It is the nature of all fire to grow cold.
Alexander Jenkins
>Nah, Sorcery Jokers is almost done being translated and edited by MG And? SukiSuki has been 100% done for like 6 months. Just because it hits 100% TL and editing doesn't mean it's coming soon.
Jordan Garcia
Are you intentionally being retarded or did you just want to shitpost without any regard for the question?
Aiden Hernandez
> more like budget Da Capo 3 a
it looks WAY better
Gabriel Morris
Serous question, are you gonna read the cut version of Dies Irae?
Caleb Sanchez
this some deep shit, nasu
Jayden Flores
No one cares about moege
Ayden Carter
So what's the reason for the dies irae patch taking 2 months to release
Robert Sullivan
Yes, it's not like I would read a game where male characters are the stars instead of heroines for H-scenes.
Mason James
? It's the truth, made by the same company and somehow manages to have lower scores, it's shit.
Blake Wright
>you share a general with manchildren who will actually hold off on reading one of the greatest VNs ever, Dies Irae, for some shitty H scenes
Ryan Sanders
>with shoeshorned short as fuck 1-2 H per heroine Yet without them you will be dismissing it as >allages
Austin Garcia
It's not cut since it has the expanded content of Amantes Amentes plus the uncensorship of Acta est Fabula. It's actually better than the original Japanese versions. Of course I'm reading it dude.
Evan Murphy
Nope
Caleb Stewart
So you wanna read Dies?
So Dies Irae is a game I finished a few months back and it sits safely atop the throne as my favorite vn. There's very little information available on the English side of things about what the hell Dies actually is and why it's cool, so I thought I might write something to clarify a bit and hope that my love for the game emanates to you. There's a lot of talk that you may have heard about whether or not Dies qualifies as Chuuni so I'll just start from there. It's very much a battle opera. Yes, a... battle opera. A grandiose spectacle that one might, say present to their loved one to share a spectacular event, filled with emotion. But yes, there are many battles and their is grandiosity in the atmosphere. It is very fair to call Dies Chuuni but it certainly will open your mind as to what Chuuni can be.
One of the interesting things about Dies is it's meta features - a big aspect of which is the structure. It's effectively a kind of play within a VN and all of the characters almost seem in on it. For example, in the first scene of the actual game Ren and his long time best friend, Shirou, have a confrontation about what kind of characters they want to be in their own lives. Shirou (the absolute badass that he is) wants to be the main character; take control of life and grab it by the balls, experience everything he possibly can before the curtain closes. However, Ren is quite satisfied staying out of the spotlight. He seems only to want to maintain his status quo and by extension the moments he finds precious in his current everyday.
Joseph Gonzalez
Yes. It's the same release the japs had. That and I'm too much of am impatient fuck to wait 3 months
Leo Powell
>reading cut versions of anything never ever, dovac
Jack Brooks
...
Jonathan Hill
>How did they workaround the Kei's first h-scene then? Another kind of mana transfer. Don't have an actual screencap of that fragment, and I'm too lazy to search for a save close enough to that point, but this cg basically shows everything.
