However, if one judges it as an entirely different category of game story by itself, then the end may have been just right, resolving (most of) the problems, leading up to a decently satisfying conclusion. The heroine routes are fairly well-written, "Key" in that they're unconventional compared to the majority of visual novels. It has subtle, well-covered themes that lend to its depth (imo). What I'm basically trying to say is it's a great game; just don't expect it to be a "Key" game. Edit: I think the discrepancy in resolution is also a reflection on the change in writer. Not to say that the one who wrote Terra route was inferior, but it wasn't "Key-llike", as in Maeda's handling of Angel Beats!, Refrain, Tomoyo After, Clannad and AIR. If you're familiar with and read the ends of the mentioned titles, you know what I mean. So as one who read Rewrite, I can say that the game story is an altogether different breed from the others. Kinda offtopic and I know it's been years since it's been released, but is there a Little Busters! discussion in here somewhere? Further edit to answer something I postulated earlier (regarding the continuity of Moon): I got it! It's an insane theory, but based on what I've mostly read about Aurora and its connection to the planet, it fits! But it's so. . .literally. . . out of this world! I'll say more should more people finish Terra.

I'm currently on October 27th.
Spoiler for October 26th:
Just a question though: when I get a route done (currently aiming for Kotori's), do I have to read the main trunk all over again for the other endings? I hope not, 'cause it would be... suicidal. |

Unless you saved. There're some particular branch choices that raise flags to punt you into a heroine's route. Case in point: the scene in which Kotarou answers Akane's questionnaire, after beating the prerequisite heroines' routes, the two other blanked out choices are filled in, and the clues in the routes you beat would hopefully lead you to decide to "change the world" or "change yourself" rather than neither.

As a general rule, any machine translation helper will only help you fill gaps in your own understanding of the Japanese language. If you don't know Japanese from Korean, you probably will get more frustration than fun out of it. And this is true about any VN, not just Rewrite.

Alrighty, I finally escaped the common route and on to Kotori.
After hearing so many bad things about the common route, it wasn't actually that bad. Certainly better than Kanon's, and about as good as Clannad's if you head for Kotori/Nagisa end. It was funny and the atmosphere was good. The lack of cgs, though, was a bit disappointing. Hopefully the character routes and true end will make up for that.

Edit: And I don't understand what you mean by the common route being bad. It is a standard in Key games (and most 'ges in general) to have a lively, lighthearted route. Where would Little Busters! be without the idiotic hijinks or Clannad without beating down Sunohara's dignity? If it were all depressing at the start, one would question if this were a Key product in the first place.

For anyone who has played the game in full and understands the overall story, would you be willing to add info to the Wikipedia article? A concise story section has to be written, and the character bios have to be filled out to a certain degree, mainly what their characters are like and their relation to the story. Also, any additional gameplay info would be helpful too.

Gee, I'd love to, except that I wouldn't know how to present the information in a well-written manner. Hopefully, someone more apt can do it, especially now that I've viewed that page and seen a lot of lacking information. (minor characters, descriptions, etc.)

long story short...
no one is interested in creating a translation project for this game because the guy who translated many lines from the trial wasn't satisfied with the final game, right? I know translating a VN (especially at this length) is a long and tedious task, but is there anyone else who will be interested in translating the game? just curious |

I asked the translating team the translates Steins;Gate whether they will translate Rewrite and they answered me that some of the stuff is playing Rewrite and that they may translate it, but they first want to finish Steins;Gate. If they would translate it I would be very happy (they plan to finish Steins;Gate on Christmas and in one mount they translated a third of the whole game).
So know we just need to wait and hope that they really will translate it... |

As for an art book I would say I'm 100% yes, they will make one. I own all the game art books from Kanon to Little Busters! I just need Little busters! EX. I do not want the Kudwafter one at all thanks...if they do make one XD. So would except to see one in the coming year.
