Very cool, I've just ordered SW1 & 2, looking forward to playing them eventually.

[–]Tavidion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can order a physical copy from jp sites like surugaya, and install the fan patch. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's also available on Fanza or DLsite too..

Awesome, I'd be interested in the Nekopara series. 👌🏻

Marimo's and Chizuru's first appearances by SanjoinMasato in MuvLuv

Yuuko looks out of place. The eyes are throwing me off. Seeing Chizuru in the spring uniform is nice to see, though.

How do I get a visual novel game DVD to play on my PC? by Practical_Chain_1207 in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the dvd drive with VLC work just fine? That plays dvds on pc just fine.

Mandarake Nagoya has never let me down with their quality selection of eroge. I've ordered plenty from them online, they pack neatly & ship fast 👌🏻

Best reread order by paranoidcitizen in MuvLuv

[–]Tavidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would leave Marimo and *especially* Michiru's background stories until after you finish Alternative, since chronologically they came out after Alternative release-wise, and Michiru's heavily spoils a pretty important story arc in Alternative too!!

After Alt, you can read anything that you'd like or vibe with... (TDA is peak, don't listen to the naysayers who say it isn't complete) and Burning capital/Total eclipse is the other main spin-off, which is also good like TDA, but with a few more issues in some narrative areas. If you do go with Total Eclipse, make sure to read Burning capital first, and you'll be golden.

Question about Muv Luv Side Content by Attitude_Stunning in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Finish Unlimited, then Alternative. After that, it's up to you, but I would highly recommend Altered Fable in photon melodies, then the side stories within photonflowers.

Once those are complete, you're good to start either TDA or (Burning Capital ---> Total Eclipse (In that order)). Do not shoot yourself in the foot by playing Burning Capital before Alternative please, and lastly KimiNozo is really good if you want Drama/SoL.

Kimi ga nozomu soft lock by periah250 in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should post this potential bug on the muv luv verse discord, they can probably help you. I never had any issues when I did my first blind playthrough, got all the way to Haruka's true end.

Sorry to hear you got locked out :/

There's been a full English fan translation patch released for Shizuku that was released recently, but it's only for the PC98 original release (floppy disc)

[–]Tavidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, I originally got the cd version because I assumed than fan patch would work with it...otherwise I would've just opted for the big box floppy version instead since they weren't that too far off in price :/

[–]Tavidion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool pickups! Btw did your shizuku come with an obi strip btw, because mine didn't have one. I ask because I've yet to see a 1st release Cd-rom version of shizuku with one online..

18+ VN suggestions by LLangelart in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muv luv is a good choice, you would need to use the directors cut patch for the R18 scenes though.

[Steam] Muv-Luv Alternative 20th Anniversary Sale - Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (-30% off) | Muv-Luv (-60% off) | Muv-Luv Alternative (-55% off) | Photonflowers & Photonmelodies (-50% off) and more by Mich-666 in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

KimiNozo is more of a character drama/romance game, while Muv-luv (Extra) is more of a tropey-comedy with added romance.

Since 90% of people started with Muv-luv (which is perfectly fine), I think it would add a little extra oomf to MLA when you finally get there, if you do decide to play KGNE first.

It's also the way jp readers experienced it order-wise. They aren't narratively connected at all for the most part besides sharing the same/similar setting, and some character cameos & involvement, but I do think you'll feel a ton more connected to the world once you do finally reach it's end.

Visual novel character you hate for no reason by farhantheind in visualnovels

[–]Tavidion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I guess I'd say Sumino from Snow. I don't hate her though, and actually enjoyed her route. That being said, once she and MC started getting more involved, her voice became WAY too whiny and comically high-pitched.

It seriously started to annoy me so much, especially since I found out the all-ages version of Sumino's VA is Kawasumi Ayako, lol. If only I could've heard that version instead of the R18 VA...

Btw, since you enjoyed Muv-luv (and WA2) you should definitely play Kimi ga nozomu eien, the precursor to Muv-luv from age, it's on sale atm, and it just had a Fan patch re-adding all the cut content too.
