READ THE FOLLOWING, THIS IS IMPORTANT >Having trouble with your VN? Try the following before you ask for tech support: 1. Be in Japanese locale 2. Read the Readme 3. Read the wiki below 4. Google it
Previous thread: This general is for the discussion of English-translated Japanese visual novels. All posting of untranslated visual novels belongs on E-celeb shitposting is not allowed. Kindly use spoiler tags appropriately when discussing plot spoilers to facilitate smooth discussion.
Easily shaping up to be best girl so far. Haven't seen too much of Maya though, wonder if she'll change my mind.
Zachary Jenkins
This sparked a lot of discussion last thread, but my questions are still unanswered, so I'll post them again.
Rea route spoilers
What difference is there between the two endings? The entire epilogue from the "bad end" was contained in the "good end", except the date of Lotus' meeting with Reinhard was different (which I assume is a TL error). Did Ren's participation amount to nothing? What difference is there between the two resulting universes?
Also, did Johann just have a normal life? I kept waiting for him to appear, but it seems he just lead a normal life. I don't think it was explained how Ren got adopted by Kasumi's parents either, but that may be due to sleepy reading.
Jacob Allen
Have you considered they may be forced to add sex scenes so they can sell it to otaku who will scream and not buy the game the instant they see it doesn't have porn?

i'm giving myself a break before doing kyou and maya's route. excited because I don't actually think I've heard anything bad about either of them. It will be a very welcome change after yukino and runa's route.
Jeremiah Martinez
Can we please stop arguing; None of the arguments "censorship is good" actually changed my mind, what's the point?
Brayden Sanders
Clearly he's one of those otaku, as he's screaming at the thought of them being removed.
Ryder Harris
Where da 18+ WagaHigh at tho?
Zachary Cooper
Fuck off.
Carson Foster
They aren't being forced to do it, though. If you wantt to sell something you add content that will sell but no one is actually forcing you to do it.
Jace Cruz
Dude, I just have questions about a VN. I am free to post them, and I will.
Jack Diaz
Who /hypedforUta3/ here?
Luis Flores
Kyou is 100% the best girl
Man was that tweet really 2 years ago? So much has changed since then.
I think you two are talking about different things. One is talking about the original Japanese company and the other is talking about companies like SP who gut content to sell on Steam
Asher Reed
The Johann thing was definitely weird. It was like Masada was setting up his appearance but in the end he got scrapped.
Tyler Bell
G-guys stop arguing and talk about cute girls pls
David White
Sure, just like slaves weren't forced to obey their owners and people aren't forced to obey the law.
Thomas Sullivan
I love Haru!
Brayden Reed
Masada, Hanada and Romeo disagree though, producers do force writers to add porn.
Isaac Nguyen
>Instead of intentionally making an eroge, they make a regular game and add sex scenes in after because they want it to sell Why the fuck would you pander to the MINORITY instead of the majority? If anything they would remove the sex scenes since the majority of people AREN'T otakus (Well I could be wrong about that part knowing Japan). You would never make a game like Wagahigh and say "You know, I guess we should add some sex scenes so it sells". They obviously made it with the intention of letting you fuck them in the first place. That's the appeal of moege.
Isaiah Hughes

Adam Howard
CAN WE JUST GO BACK TO TALKING ABOUT CUTE GIRLS?
Carson Bennett
Have you considered that they may be forced to put a plot into the game just to sell the game to retards who are too lazy to read books?
Jeremiah Hernandez
again, DI is not deep and if you fail to comprehend it you're just retarded.
Julian Peterson
They don't make VNs with westerners in mind you dumb fuck.
Blake Foster
>So much has changed since then. Sekai project is still the same just they have better PR and Dovac isn't allowed to bitch about customers on twitter any more. They only got on the 18+ train only because the Steam all ages well dried up and Nutaku offered them bags of money for some timed exclusives.
Cooper Wood
every girl in wagahigh is made to breed
Luke Brooks
Well the difference was back then they had like one leg on the 18+ train with the rest of their body chilling on the Steam train
Jack Cook
me and my cats
Lincoln Turner
so is your sister
Joshua Perez
So if the Japanese game developers are slaves, forced to put in sex scenes because no one would ever buy them, doesn't that make Sekai even worse because they take out all the sex scenes they supposedly shoehorned in so THEY THEMSELVES can sell more?
Austin Lopez
The majority of nips who would even consider buying VNs ARE otakus. The non-otaku nips see anything with anime art and they mostly ignore it Also, again, my examples are stuff like Dies and F/SN, not moege. Not all VNs are moege or nukige.
John Nelson
Just like authors are ''forced'' to cut content Games aren't just made by the author.
Jonathan Morris
Normal people don't play VNs. It's about the most niche medium, which only otaku played (at least in the past). The ones with porn sell more, because that's what otaku are looking for.
Oliver Garcia
at least I can tell the ritual posters by sight and can gloss over their posts
if nobody answered your question either nobody has the answer or they don't care enough to do so, fuck off
Noah Sanders
Japanese market=/=western market Also, SP has almost never released the kind of games I'm talking about.
Joseph Allen
If you read my questions you'd realize they are about the plot and stuff that isn't properly explained in the game, so fuck off to Veeky Forums.
Mason Howard
Why would you think regular people play VNs especially considering regular people don't even watch anime much?
Do you think the common guy is gonna look at Dies Irae and be like "this is the intellectual stimulation I need"
Adrian Flores
>implying I've read whatever you've put inside the spoiler tags [email protected]
Michael Jones
Not him but why are you responding and making yourself look like a retard then?
Caleb Morris
I think sex scenes add more depth to the characters and their relationships in almost all cases. It makes the game feel more real. Who wouldn't fuck girls like Saber or Rin?
Grayson Ramirez
It's not like the same people are always in the general. I'll maybe get an answer someday, I lose nothing. It's still a better post than the usual threadly shitpost.
>not knowing what a conditional is >not understanding a simple sentence
Kevin Perry
When are you guys going to realize you aren't going to change anyone's minds? Can we just go back to the girls? There's only 11 images in here
Isaiah Wright
not him but fuck off
Angel James
he's posted the same question 3-4 times now and keeps going "uh since I didn't get an answer the last three times i'm posting it again" and its fucking annoying
Jonathan Sullivan
Post cute?
Adam Richardson
I would fuck Saber and Rin. Just not when I'm being pursued by crazy Heracles sent by a crazy loli to murder us. Or when an ancient king is threatening to unleash a bajillion curses upon the earth and kill almost all of humanity
Grayson Jackson
I see Dies is till the king of /vn/
Colton Nelson
Let's just talk about how onee-sans are the greatest, please.
Carson Hernandez
Just ignore the post, or filter the questions. How can you get so angry because of someone asking questions about a VN? This is the VN general, the whole point is to discuss VNs.
>Half the people shilling for Sekai So what else is new?
Evan Cruz
I legitimately want to understand where the idea that sex scenes are forced into the game by starving nips that just need the game to sell. Logic would dictate that the only reason you would make a visual novel AND be okay with sex scenes in it, is if you planned to put sex scenes in it from the start so it sells. Do makers of fantasy novels force in action fights just so it looks cool and people will buy their elf politics drama? Do makers of mystery novels shoehorn in death scenes just because that's what is expected of mystery medias?
Aiden Turner
Nigga, the last thing I want is to be caught with my pants down, balls deep in a chick while the crazy motherfucker who wants to end the world is doing his thing, sex can wait after there's no threat to my life.
Wyatt Young
over-rationality is for dickless faggots, that way of handling discussion on a forum where you're completely anonymous is fucking gay
its better to get a response saying "fuck off because (X)" than another psuedo-enlightened group of people just passively ignoring everything that irritates them
tl;dr im allowed to get angry fuck off bitch

Ayden Walker
Ha! I knew it. Being a liar IS a requirement to work at sekai.
Dylan Myers
Yup, and I'm allowed to post the questions on every general from here on. I'm not getting angry, you are, so I was trying to help you come to terms with it.
Bentley Price
That's perfectly fine, if you want to make a game with cute girls with lots of hot porn, like the majority of 美少女ゲーム are that really is fine. But if you want to make something without porn you get forced to include it, that sucks, not everyone is KEY or TM ot Nitro+ and actually yeah, companies are pandering to majority now, that's why everyone moved to console.
Aiden Torres
I can't read anymore, I might explode. I want to murder everyone in that thread. I would gladly go to jail if I got the chance to kill them.
John Reed
Thank god for official localizations producing supberb translations like Libra, ChronoClock and Flowers, truly top notch work.
Andrew Foster
Give me an example where it's been forced in for the sake of sales.

the only reason i'm even getting angry at you right now is cause you remind me of my faggot friend who spends his life completely shiftless not getting fired up about "silly things"
basically you have nothing to do with it so i'll just go take my frustrations out on dishonored 2
Jayden Sullivan
>Official translations are very noticeably better than fan-translations >84% release was an official translation

Joseph Cox
Some dudes on Steam who just wanted to make a quick buck probably
Andrew Rivera
I personally don't buy VNs without porn. Every single VN MUST have porn. Thats my style, that's how I roll. If I see a VN without porn I shit on it relentlessly until it has porn. They fear me, every single one of them from authors to companies, even futaba autists etc.
You especially have no power here user. The weak fear the strong, always. Just remember that.

Evan Bennett
Moeges often have other writers writing just H-scenes, also H-scene quota where you NEED to have at least around 5 of them or otakus will write bad reviews(see Aokana which had little H and people complained by calling it 'console title on PC')
Hudson Flores

How the fuck is the shit that SP pulls allowed? Why do companies hand their licences to these freaks, when they fucking KNOW they'll delay it to high heaven or jew up the price at least 3x times? I guess at the end of the day, its all about money. The issue is, we're the ones getting fucked over, while the kekolds over at SP sit in their little baby chairs, laughing and counting money from all the retards who bought a game off of Steam or their retarded website. All forms of censorship are bad, EVEN if the sex scenes are bad, leave a button to skip them like in Katawa fucking Shoujo, that gangrenous thing. They should have no right to bitch if someone TL's something of their own free will and volition, because they won't make money off of it, while the product they will be deliver will be inferior and with a huge delay, because their translators probably work in Indonesian fucking sweatshops. They shouldn't be able to do some gang shit, splitting up VNs to "translate" and make profits from with fucking MG, who just translate garbage.

there is a spot to be filled for azuki and coconut

didn't the fan TL come with the voices by default? I could have sworn I remembered them
