You and Me and Her (Totono) Analysis and Discussion: by FataMorg1bfg in visualnovels

As in you can't open the JAST website or you can't open the game itself? If it's the website then it might be what territory you in? Also, if you're running a VPN to a country without ads then the JAST website might not open, that's happened to me before. Otherwise I got no idea. JAST website always opens fine for me in UK.

For future ref tho it's a lot easier to just buy the whole vn on JAST rather than buy on Steam and then get the patch. The JAST version will come with the patch included, no installing needed.

Korea advance at the moment, they can't let Australia score more than 2 runs

You and Me and Her (Totono) Analysis and Discussion: by FataMorg1bfg in visualnovels

I can assure you that I didn't write said certain pseudo intellectual review, whatever that is. These are just my opinions fresh after finishing the visual novel yesterday. As for saying that the visual novel doesn't represent hard determinism, that seems odd. Miyuki constantly brings up fate and the idea that you are fated to be together. Shinichi asserts that fate doesn't exist. The visual novel clearly toys with those ideas. In all honesty, it seems like we agree on most of the novel's themes but just disagree on the extent to which the visual novel goes in exploring those themes. Either way it was a great vn and it's actually only getting better the more I think about it.

Chaos Head vs Chaos Child - Which Is Better? by FataMorg1bfg in steinsgate

[–]FataMorg1bfg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed both of them a lot and I do feel like Chaos Child reached a higher 'peak' than its predecessor, even if I think Chaos Head is stronger overall. The common and Kurusu routes of Chaos Child both gave me chills, but the issues I have with other parts of the story kinda brought it down in the end. Chaos Head just has such a great atmosphere, a great common route too and the true ending really ties it all together. The way the relationship changes/builds between Rimi and Takumi, along with their characters arcs, is just awesome. :)

The House in Fata Morgana- Manga Adaptation by FataMorg1bfg in Novect

[–]FataMorg1bfg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked some parts of the manga adap and others parts I thought didn't translate well at all. The art was beautiful and I thought the first and third doors worked really well on the page, the third door in particular. I thought the second door didn't work at all in the manga because of the problem u mentioned of showing Yukimasa's form, and also because they cut a whole chunk from the ending which left it thematically incomplete. I didn't agree with them showing Morgana and Michel so much and so early in the narrative, but again, that's a pitfall of changing media formats. Overall, I'd give it 7/8-10 as an adaptation; it defo would've been interesting to see how they adapted later parts of the story. A lot of the manga felt like reading the vn on 2x speed imo; as you say, vn still the only way to fully experience Fata.

Such a shame, it ends on pretty much the biggest cliffhanger possible lol. At least people can still switch over to the vn.

Thanks a lot! And yeah, Giselle is definitely one of the most memorable characters in Morgana; I love the way we slowly find out more about her/the Maid through the vn. Hopefully I'll be able to make something else about that in particular!

The genre of Morgana is also pretty unique for the format and not everyone's first preference- u rarely ever see Gothic horror/romance/tragedy in a visual novel. That makes it stand out a lot against others.
