Does it have such a a big impact on the story? If it's just sex scenes getting censored I don't mind unless I'm missing out on plot information

Don't get me wrong fellas, I like planes. But I like lolis more, why not post some?

Colton Clark
Every Paradox game should be pirated except Vicky II. Having a shitton of DLCs is still bad and you know it. They shat the bad with EUIV. Let's stop here before we get banned.
Jace Wright
Yep, comanche too
Parker Mitchell
moshimoshi, is this the evn general?
Christian Johnson
Pretty sure most of the Frontwing TBA stuff is based on what their PR guy said during an AMA. If I remember correctly, it was mentioned that they plan to translate some of their moege like Hatsumira and Yuki koi melt after they finish Island.

So the one of the biggest titles in VNs, subahibi is coming out in a few days now and it seems like the vast majority of people in this general do not know anything about it. Since I just finished it a day ago, I'm going to share with you some information
Required reading before reading subahibi: The only thing that I would say is required would be Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. This play is mentioned numerous times and some parts would be confusing if you didn't know anything about the play. It's short so you can knock it off in 3-5 hours. If you don't want to read it, then there are numerous uploads of the play on youtube that you can watch. It doesn't matter if you read/watch it in French or English since the VN uses the Japanese translated version of the play. Some other titles that are recommended are The black swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman, and Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein. These books are not really required to enjoy the VN as the concepts that SCA-JI uses are told in clear language that is very easy to understand. But if you would like to get a deeper understanding of the VN, I recommend reading through these at some point.
As you can see this is a visual novel of true literary complexity so don't feel upset if you find it hard to grasp on your first read through. There may even be some of you who fail to comprehend it simply due to genetic limitations but don't let this deter you from reading as SubaHibe is truly a work of art even without 100% comprehension of its profound themes.
Nolan Anderson
is it 18+ though
Angel Adams
Even if Irru and co do pick it up don't expect Hoshi Ori to be even close to as quick as Hatsukoi was TL'd. Hoshi Ori (and Ginharu) are both VERY long compared to h1/1. Well, I suppose that's to be expected when every heroine has a full-length after story built into the game - for some reason tone work's quit doing appends after Hatsukoi so they built it all into the game. Considering they only release 1 game every 2 years, I suppose they put a lot of TLC into their VNs.
Pic related is what it looks like in Ginharu when you reach the after story of a girl's route. There's a short epilogue after this but it is very brief in comparison, maybe only ~5-10 mins worth. Ginharu also starts in middle school and stays that way for a large portion of the common route.
Anthony Campbell
Now mind you, even though it says "Bethly School" it is referring to college. A lot of the after stories in Ginharu revolve around the couple leaving their friends/family behind for various reasons. Yuzuki wants to become a chef and apprentices in Italy, Bethly and MC go to college in Canada, etc etc.
Carson Gutierrez
I had heard Gin'iro was a huge game, but I hadn't heard the same about Hoshi Ori, is it really a similar length?
Gabriel Jenkins
Nice repost from Reddit You can't be more obvious than that shitposter-kun
Noah Smith
Yeah, despite not having a middle school section Hoshi Ori is nearly as long as Ginharu. There's one route in particular that is notoriously long, I believe it comes in at around 400k words by itself. The shortest come in at "only" ~250k or so.
Michael Taylor
>no longer neet >no time to read VNs >non-existent backlog is now slowly growing I-I'm freaking out here guys, my life as I know it is ending!
Grayson Peterson
>I believe it comes in at around 400k words by itself. What's the average word length for a route, for comparison's sake?
John Allen
IIRC all of FSN is around a million words, or just above that.
Kevin Evans
My bad, it's around ~820k. Supposedly all of Grisaia no Kajitsu in english was over a million.
Aaron Moore
If they released Hoshi Ori, this decade, it will surely win the fantl of the decade award.
Joshua Parker
If it just remains Irru and Trip I would honestly be worried that they would burnout before finishing. Hoshi Ori is no Muramasa when it comes to dialogue but the length is crazy.
Nathaniel Reed
>One route in Hoshi Ori is about half the Length of F/SN. Fuck me, now I want to read it just to see what they filled 400k words with. That and the red head.
Christopher Wilson
That red head has one of the longer routes, too.
fuck me im getting tired of these 'click until no more show up' captchas.
Alexander Wilson

Anthony Jackson
I LIKE LOLIS!
Brandon Howard

Cooper Garcia
The best part is that tone work's listened to their fans and made the MC a lot better in Hoshi Ori. He's actually proactive and isn't just swept up by whatever the closest girl says at the moment.
Owen Hill
>That red head has one of the longer routes, too. I hope that's a good thing.
Asher Evans
...
Sebastian Moore
what's so good about lolis
Austin Taylor
I guess that depends if you like long comfy routes or not. Some people are turned off by the sheer length of HOYM/Ginharu so YMMV.
Yeah, I'm already amazed they released Hatsukoi that fast and the image was edited as well. Truly high quality release considering most will not go as far as editing the images. Considering the length of Hoshi Ori and with only Irru and co doing it, it would be a miracle if they could release it within 2 years, so being worried for them being burned out is normal, after all, good people rarely comes by.
Xavier Fisher
>Runa x Kyou girl gimme
Andrew Carter
My only concern is that a long route means one of two things: It's filled with lovely-dovey crap which I'm all for or It has some pointless melodrama that only dumb teenagers could create that lasts most of the route. I really hope it's option one.
Chase Walker
I hope you like cameras, cause she is like Kyou regarding pizzas in that manner.

Ryan Richardson
It's Runa's VA I don't care. Seriously though, she looks good. Though Blue looks pretty nice as well.
James Richardson
Runa's the only one for me
Lincoln Ortiz
Rikka is the only one that has "major" drama in her route, and that has to do with her pent up mother issues. But that drama has some nice payoff and it isn't anything too deep or cliche.
Thankfully tone work's decided to drop the whole 'one girl NTRs another girl in-game' schtick.
Ethan Phillips
I want to fuck Eruruu
Jackson Nelson

Jason Gray
Any VN about tanks?
Jason Kelly
Sorry dude, but I've been looking forward to Touko since before you guys started translating Hastukoi. Natsuki will come second though >Touko route is not plagued by retarded drama This news has made my day, thank you user.
Connor Jenkins
kys pedophile
Easton Adams
I didn't say there was none, just that Touko's route doesn't have any major drama like Rikka does.
this pic is for you so i spoiler'd it nobody else can open it
Gavin Carter
That hair color and shading is damn fine.
Jonathan Taylor
here's the natsuki version
Ethan Hall
In terms of retarded drama, I'm more talking about stupid crap like I've heard about in the Yukino route. Got nothing against drama in of itself, but when it's terrible it really brings everything else down. I had that picture already, but thanks anyway user
Tyler Foster
Touko has over 31 pages of CGs on panda. That's a lot of h scenes.
Lincoln Hill
>That's a lot of h scenes. Are you sure its not a lot of h-scene? For a VN that probably has 20 hr routes I'd expect some lengthy fucking h-scenes.
Gavin James
I am aware, I went through them back when I assumed Hoshi Ori was a NEVER EVER title and that I couldn't learn Japanese
Asher Peterson
It varies. Some h-scenes are a lot longer than others, but they are all good. Although there's a few h-scenes that have weird mosaics that cause the vagina to look fuckhuge, but for the most part the artists did a great job.
Let me try to find a pic that has it so you can see what I'm talking aboot.
Brandon James
I wasn't really sure where to look in Hoshi Ori so I just grabbed the one I'm most familiar with, Bethly's ginormous vajoojoo from Ginharu:
