EPT@Shock710: if you have the time, I'd recommend it. Considering how much longer it is than KS, it has a better story imo. I didn't care much for the MC in Katawa Shoujo. Yuuji on the other hand is very likable.

Assuming the kickstarter works out, it seems like they're still going to translate GnK first/(again?). idek. That said, Rakuen OP is glorious... | ||

Grisaia as I am playing it seems to have 1) a lot less choices and stuff and 2) less features then the FSN one which allowed you to view the pictures of the scenes separately from the main menu as well as actually telling you how long you have been playing and other misc things 3) The main character has no voice in it as opposed to FSN where every character had a voice, was kinda weird to get used to. Also Yumiko/Amane/Sachi make it hard to choose best girl. Michiru and Makina are good for some comedy aspects but I tend of weary of them quickly. Then again, I only started the VN because I knew the short ass anime adaptation would skip a lot and I want to know all the girls back stories and such, sucks that the other 2 aren't translated yet. | ||

I don't know how I feel about wanting to watch adaptions before the source. This UBW anime seems to be a rare exception, with the adaption being very good. For a counter example, I for one am extremely glad I read Higurashi before I watched the anime adaptions of it, and didn't have my experience ruined or colored prior to reading. The VN is extremely good, while the animes rank amongst the works I hate the most out of all anime I've completed. On October 31 2014 13:24 Slaughter wrote: FSN was an outstanding VN. Of course it had a few problems that nagged the shit out of me (if you happened to read my commentary in this thread as I was going through it) but overall it was a great experience for my 1st VN (is it longer than Grisaia? I spent like 24 hours on each route in FSN so it felt pretty long).

More often than not, the main characters of VNs are not voiced. FSN is a rarity in terms of that. Other VNs might only get partial MC voicing, if that. For example, the main character of Muv-Luv pretty much only gets voiced in some rare flashbacks (and its amusing to listen to it since hes voiced by Kira Yamato). | ||

It's still early, np. I had a makeshift ranking of the Mihama girls after a few hours into the game and it changed slightly after finishing a couple routes. My impressions changed after some of their backstories, etc. | ||

Meaning that you actually go through the game based on your gut and pick options that you want. Not that there's much depth of choice when it comes to Grisaia but I actually looked up the walk through for GnK and did routes that I wanted to do first. | ||

Not that there's much depth of choice when it comes to Grisaia but I actually looked up the walk through for GnK and did routes that I wanted to do first. Ehh it depends. If it's stuff like Kara no Shoujo then sure, I'll go in blind at first (although I did use a walkthrough after one or two tries due to that goddamn map). Otherwise I don't bother. Most VNs don't really offer much in the way of choice. Either route splits are blatantly obvious, in which case a guide isn't needed, or it's obtuse as fuck, in which case a guide is needed. It doesn't help that bad ends tend to be pretty mediocre. On October 31 2014 14:05 KazeHydra wrote: If you think that's bad, go play Kara no Shoujo blind and let us know how that goes. I guess that girl at the first scene went in blind. | ||
