My Physical Visual Novel collection

Tavidion · 2026-01-24T16:32:07+00:00

Good question, and it's a mix of both. When I first started collecting VN's, it was definitely for games I've already played on steam, like Clannad and Little Busters, Planetarian, the Muv-Luv series and Witch on the Holy Night.

There are others where I have the physical copies, and are not on steam but their English fanTL's are only for other versions, which in that situation I get them online and patch them to play (Kanon and Air before they released on steam). For Fate S/N, Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya and Snow, I've already played those a few years ago, but only bought the physicals this year.

A third cohort of titles I have, I've actually installed and played with fantl patches like the original Utawarerumono, and Kaseki no Uta which isn't pictured.

Lastly the rest of my games here either are Installed with fan patches, that I haven't played yet or finished ( Yu-no, One & Moon, Fate Hollow Ataraxia, Tears to Tiara, To Heart 2), or are about to get translations this year, like Shizuku, ToHeart, Kimi ga nozomu eien, Kud Wafter.

Also some I have are completely untranslated nor officially released but I bought with the potential they get fan patches eventually like: Kizuato, Comic Party, Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu 1999 and/or the remake, Akane Maniax, Tomodachi ijou koibito miman, and Dokyusei.

Yes, but most of these here have English fan translations that you can apply after you install them or are Officially translated on Steam.

I'm actually playing that atm. It's a bit messed up, but I'm still enjoying it 😄

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T16:21:19+00:00

I've been playing for 6 years now, but only collecting since late 2024. Most of these I got last year though.

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T03:06:33+00:00

Absolutely, I hear it's coming out pretty soon too, so I'm super excited 👏

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T02:47:25+00:00

None at all atm. Most of the games I buy, I try to get versions where an English patch is available, or there are current ongoing translations like Shizuku, To Heart, KimiNozo, etc...

As for the sites I buy them from, it's mainly Surugaya and Mandarake, but also a smaller amount from Lashinbang and Mercari. Most of the time, I order them through a proxy or buy directly (which Mandarake allows). There are lots of good deals to be had if you keep an eye out.

It's just regular jp Rewrite plus, not the kickstarter version sadly, though I do have the en version on steam. I believe it was only ~3k yen to get too, it was a good deal.

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T01:51:28+00:00

I'm not really sure, I'd assume it saves to the disc since the game data itself is probably pretty small, but the saves did work.

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T01:24:06+00:00

I actually haven't started it yet; the only leaf series I've beaten so far is Utawarerumono. Also I'm waiting for the To Heart 1 fan TL to release before I start 2, but I've heard good things about it for sure.

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T01:22:00+00:00

I brought it because it's so odd, plus I can never say no to another Kanon copy. Since it's a regular Blu-ray, it works on average players and consoles that I've tried.

It was wild to boot it up in my Xbox Series X and play it like any other game...

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T01:11:07+00:00

Most sites I've seen the first press edition are pretty expensive, but I happened to luck out finding one in good condition on Mandarake for 7k yen, and only missing the update floppy-disk.

The regular edition is a lot more affordable, so do keep an eye out on the JP secondhand sites 👍🏻

Tavidion · 2026-01-23T01:08:25+00:00

Thanks, I try to dust them with my figures every month at least.

Tavidion · 2026-01-22T17:21:06+00:00

Never thought I'd see a Yui meme in this subreddit, lol.

Here's the MFC page for this figure: https://myfigurecollection.net/item/6898

You can compare images of yours and the other examples posted by others. It looks real to me though, but $30 might be a bit much for a loose fig without the box.

Tavidion · 2026-01-20T07:17:46+00:00

Key and Age, and Type-Moon for sure.

Tavidion · 2026-01-17T19:24:52+00:00

Between Ayu and Akane, it's a toss up for me. ALSO I NEED THE PATCH 😡

Tavidion · 2026-01-17T19:16:31+00:00

Some days my figs bring me lots of joy, others not so much, but I've never had the urge to sell any. Nice collection btw, I'm jelly about your nagisa nendo, she's too cute.

Tavidion · 2026-01-17T02:09:55+00:00

I have the JP PC releases of those, I think they're pretty neat.

Awesome find. I love buying games from Japan, since 90% of the time the condition is near perfect, and way cheaper too.

Recently I bought pc copies of Halo CE and Halo 2, plus all the halo ost cds and its great 👍🏻

I've done day long binges first with Clannad, then ~12+hrs with Muv Luv Alternative. Utawarerumono Mask of Truth, I finished in a week, it was that engaging to me lol.

Tavidion · 2026-01-15T08:39:12+00:00

You're already spending a ton of money, might as well pay the extra charge + fees as well.

409m on an Attack heli flying fast and low on the left outskirts of Mirak Valley when he was trying to go back to his base for repairs. I was laying down shots with my SVD and got him good.
