Kyou After - It's a Wonderful World
Someone decided that after Tomoyo After, there ought to be a Kyou After, hence this video. AFAIK, this is just a fan-made video, using music from Tomoyo After. Enjoy. It would be amazing if someone actually spend time to make a doujin game. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1768118 Last edited by Kinny Riddle; 2008-01-24 at 09:37. |

I'm a total newbie to visual novels, and just played through the Tomoyo route in Clannad... what can i say? It was really awesome. I was surprised to find how involved i felt by the end of the route, and impressed with how in depth and solid the script writing was.
I followed the 90 hr guide, and even though i found the ending a bit corny ... i was too overcome with relief to really care much. After all, I didn't play this just to experience bitter reality all over again :P! |

If you want a bitter sweet (if you can even call it that), try snagging the PC version, though this probably falls under the Utsu-game category (and adult) If you want a relieving ending, try snagging the PS2 version (ero scenes are replaced with things like cosplay scenes etc). |

I definitely would... its up to either a) my jap skills to improve drastically or b) a fan translation to come out.
If I want to play Clannad in window mode, but in a bigger size than 640 by 480 (i think), is there anyway I can do that? If i play fullscreen, my widescreen stretches it XD |

Well this isn't exactly great karma for a first post, but I'm getting pretty desperate here, I've already completed the game one following my gut (which somehow led me down Nagisa into Fuuko and then into no-love end)
So during my second play though I decided to go for my two favourite characters (Ichinose and Tomoyo) but somehow despite following the CLANNAD 90 hours walkthrough both Ichinose and Misae (tried to unlock full content for Tomo) failed. I'm assuming it's because the wording in the English translated version and the walkthrough are too different but in short I seem to be missing the Spoiler:

Any help'd be wonderful |

Length of the game
I've been reading Clannad off and on since March of last year and one of the things that always comes to mind is how long the story is. Honestly I'm getting a little exhausted here, especially since I'm using the game to teach myself japanese. I'm currently in the after story, right after
Spoiler for scene:
1) How much longer, percentage wise, do I have to go? 2) How long is this compared to other visual novels? I've read all of Tsukihime and Wind in english, and Koko's route from Da Capo II in japanese. 3) How long is this compared to an english work? It gives me a wierd sense of length because it's in Japanese. 4) What is the best way to read visual novels in general? I usually run them windowed or dual monitor with agth and Jim Breen's text glosser for the translation. I can read hiragana naturally and know probably a few hundred kanji, plus more words that I recognize when spoken, and know enough grammar that I very rarely felt that I didn't understand what was going on. |

1. You still have quite a bit to go after the event in question...if you're talking about a full clear of After Story, then I'd say you're at about 25% at best. I'm not particularly proud of this, but being native japanese and pretty fluent, I probably spent 10~15hrs from start of AS through the remainder of Clannad over a period of 2 days. So you're probably looking at atleast x1.25 that or more depending on your fluency
2. No clue...I generally watch anime to find manga of interest...this anime was really well done so I picked up the visual novel, which is a first for me :P 3. Do you want it to be compared to an english novel (do western visual novels, not picturebooks, exist?) such as the Da Vinci code? 4. Can't help you here...suffice it to say, it's a little more advanced than your typical light novel imho. |

2) Can't answer you there, but just looking at the text, I'd say this is seriously longer than Wind was ... that I was able to complete rather quickly. 3) You might want to check out the Game Translation thread.... Quote:
As for the question of the previous poster, I've never seen a "Visual Novel" that was purely english in nature... there probably have been some, but I didn't come to realize the concept until Wind and talking with a friend about Higruashi. |

As my first post was misunderstood and my two folowing were eaten by the forum I’ll get straight to buisenss.
I’m using the 0.94 Clannad English translation fan-patch to allow me to understand the dialogue. Having tried 5+ times and failed on both Miase and Ichinoses paths I turn to you in hopes that you might help me. I’ve been using the CLANNAD IN 90 HOURS walkthrough http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...0&postcount=56 , and it’s worked brilliantly up to two certain points, and I suspect the difference in the walkthroughs option translation and the fan-patch may have been my problem. On Ichinose’s path Spoiler:
On Miase’s path Spoiler:
