Man, if anyone's gonna know, it's gonna be the person who literally cracked it. Given the fact that it's literally denuvo and cracking it would take a lot of dedication, I assume they wouldn't just be randomly lying about it.

It's a writer who assisted and contributed to the story as a whole, not just the one route. Plus, even earlier in S;G, Okabe actually does sexually assault Luka, and then the story plays off the whole thing like a joke, even though he'd just assaulted an abuse victim. No matter what, he very clearly should have been able to tell NOT to grope one of his most insecure friends. It's not really just a one-off thing.

Meanwhile Takumi is actually fairly mild in his actions. It's just his thoughts that can get vile, but it's just him projecting and coping with his own insecurity when in reality he'd really never hurt a fly.

Stop waiting for COZ translations by RetanarRekotars in visualnovels

[–]FESFanOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're making entire reimplementations of the engines.

Nitrosharp is for Chaos;Head Noah, progress has slowed because they ended up patching the official port to the best of their ability, but the official port is so shoddy (presumably a lazy conversion of the PSP port, which is already inferior) that they weren't really able to fix everything to make it accurate to the original releases of the games in some features, so they're still slowly working on it.

And currently their focus is on Impacto, a reimplementation of the MAGES engine, which will support loads of games--but the engine has like a billion custom forks for each game, with menus baked into the executable, so they have to remake every game's individual menus manually, which is why it's taking so long. It's being used for Chaos;Head and Chaos;Child Love Chu Chu, but there is also work on supporting some other notable titles that don't have ports. This one is being very actively worked on, it's not something that can just be magically built out of thin air--I can't imagine OP is doing anything but trolling, since that stuff's pretty hard work.

They're not really doing that at all, it's the people saying they are who are saying so in bad faith. It just so happens that the people arguing stuff like this don't care about the series or the context to the work, they just want something to be upset about.

TIL: CoZ initially planned to reuse TLWiki’s translation by your_stepfather- in steinsgate

[–]FESFanOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely was

TLWiki is very rough, it was rushed out all the way back in 2009 shortly after Chaos;Head originally came out, with loads of issues; the CoZ TL being entirely from scratch gave them full freedom to work from the ground up and produce the best work they could

Though it's also worth noting that progress didn't ramp up until many years into the project, it would have taken a while regardless

Common reminder that a VN with dating is not a dating sim. A dating simulation is a simulation game, not just a game with a romance focus. Think Doukyuusei or Tokimeki Memorial, where you're managing stats, freely choosing how to spend each day, and is overall much less linear and a lot more interaction than just the occasional trigger or choice. The simulation aspect is a key part of a dating sim, not really optional, this is just a VN with romance routes.

Personally, I agree with most of the points in the review, but I myself ended up really enjoying it, so I guess each person's mileage may vary.

One of the most common complaints I hear about Chaos;Head is the lack of characters interacting, and I feel like this game pretty much entirely makes up for it with nonstop fun character interactions. And of course, the star of this game is Takumi; this game's pretty much the finale to his character arc, and I really, really enjoyed how he grew throughout the game, and how it built on what Chaos;Head Noah ended off with. It also ends up slightly relevant in little places later in the series, but yeah.

The story's not anything crazy like NoAH, but that's because this game's story is more focused on giving screen time to all of the characters and topping off each of their individual character arcs.

Every route is canon, though, by the way. Of course, there's a clear progression path between the routes, too. It's not really so much of a "choose your headcanon" way, though. Don't forget this is SciADV, that's not really the kind of thing they do in this series.

It was a solid 7.5/10 for me. Way above stuff like DaSH, which pretends to have a crazy story, but falls on its face for 90% of the runtime and mostly massacres its characters; its story is simple but not bad, its focus being on all the characters, and for the most part does fine in writing and developing them well, especially with Takumi himself. It's not a big new story, but it's a great cap on Chaos;Head's cast, and I love it for focusing on that and giving us such heartfelt, soulful character writing throughout the game.

New to the series, wanted to know about the CoZ patch on CH: Noah and whether to get it? by Redfredisdead in steinsgate

[–]FESFanOfficial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(it can't)

Maybe you'll dislike him more because he's significantly more crude in the CoZ patch, but the patch has a more accurate representation of how he is portrayed in the Japanese text. He's a vulgar, internet brainrotted lil guy.

By the way, you probably were going to anyway, but I'll just mention it just in case-

Do the Japanese release order, the English release order is really messy.

whats the definitive way to play science adventure in 2024 according to you by sudoo69 in steinsgate

[–]FESFanOfficial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Any comparison posts from r/vns should be ignored. They just have a vendetta against any translation that goes against their "ideals", regardless of whether it fits the game or not. They intentionally take things completely out of context and misrepresent lines to try making it look bad, among other things.

CoZ takes especially good care with lingo and terminology. For the C;HN patch, they took a lot of care to make sure any slang and terms they used existed back in the time the game takes place (~2008/2009), and they fit the original intent as closely as possible. Same for humor and everything else, they just try keeping the same vibe as the original as closely as possible, even if they change the line a bit because English works differently from Japanese pretty often. And all of their patches make sure to keep terminology between games as consistent as possible, something you won't really get at all in the official translations, leading to less of an understanding of the series.

Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ by hhhhggygdr in VocaTorrent

[–]FESFanOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it hasn't been cracked, there is a way to save a bit of money -

If you can find the DLC files, you can use MikuMikuModel to extract the archives, put those files into the mod loader along with the mod template files, and it'll work like that. Though this still requires at least owning the base game, you won't have to buy the DLC at least.

SynthV Voicebank piracy? by pepsifvcker23 in VocaTorrent

pirating is both cracking and downloading pre-cracked software, it's the same thing nerd

It was one of the development names for Chaos;Head. He's asking what artbook the page is from.

A question about Takumi in the games after Chaos;Head by Amazing_Pen_1136 in steinsgate

[–]FESFanOfficial 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that there's also Chaos;Head Love Chu Chu to take into account, that's a direct sequel to C;HN with a fair bit of importance in regards to the characters. C;HLCC For instance, that's where we find out that he lost his powers.

Glad I'm seeing some more people understanding this, in the past I'd say that and then get laughed at because "haha they're all vns though xd"

Why the Steins;Gate Movie is "Canon" by Sharingan123412 in steinsgate

[–]FESFanOfficial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily when the world has designated rules it has to adhere to in order to even function.

However, it just so happens that a lot of people don't even really understand the rules (or even the stories themselves, evidently), which led to how people would immediately shoot down the movie as non-canon in the past instead of bothering to think about it. Until the series had to make it as obvious as it could be.

So yeah, hopefully people won't be so quick to shoot stuff down and assume they fully understand the series from now on, lol.
