And actually, Kobuichi and Muririn are pretty much a duo working together for a lot of stuff. I think one of the rare solo work by Kobuichi is Hidan no Aria.

And yeah the character was all goody and innocent. But honestly if he wasn't then all the bad ends wouldn't be a bad end for him.

A bit late to reply, but...

And yeah, if they do a port, my bet is Makoto and one new previously-unseen character get routes. If they do something for Chiaki, I can only imagine it as a short branch (I could almost imagine them doing a small such branch without even having any romance -- just a "Chiaki's secrets" sort of route). KoreZon is a partnership with both artists, and it's just Hidan no Aria where it was Kobuichi alone. But yeah, this team works so well together that you have to know where to look to catch the differences.

Mahou has finished 3 of 5 routes in Kourin no Machi and it has been quite enjoyable so far. I say that as someone who isn't really a drama-fan because let's be honest, Kourin no Machi has plenty of personal dilemma for each girl in store pursued by the "drama" of the difficulty to build + keep the Kenjutsu club which is the main focus for the first 3 chapters. I have even seen the Sharin no Kuni reference, but thanks to my lack of jp. comprehension I didn't understand it
As for the girls: As with Sharin no Kuni and similar games there's no canon ending, but IMHO the closest pairing would be with Hikaru even though the epilogue drama (yes, there's even something like that) was not quite necessary. The interesting thing is that mostly the one girl you helped before, will play the deciding role to help the next girl which in turn will result in your getting one by one the required 5 kenjutsu members to make the club. A short comment about the ero in spoilers: Spoiler for Kourin no Machi - ero scene:
Currently playing: Love, Election and chocolate. The charater art is a bit bland for my taste and it seems to be a rather normal VN. |

Spoiler for Houzuki's chapter:
An actually confirmed canon ending is pretty rare though indeed, and while most of the time it isn't hard to tell who is considered the main heroine, the actual story rarely makes such distinctions, be it through structure or events. On the top of my head, I can think of five titles which were written with a specific "true end" in mind ...which ain't a lot. (Those being Sharin no Kuni, G-Senjou no Maou, Fortune Arterial, Aiyoku no Eustia, Rewrite). Well, there is stuff like Ever 17, but that's a slightly different issue.

But yeah, normally the canon ending is only implied based on who the apparent main heroine is, which I normally reason as "the route they'd probably follow if they made an anime". Like it seems pretty clear to me which route they'd follow if they ever did a Noble Works anime, for example. But that sort of reasoning doesn't actually make it a "confirmed canon ending", only an implied one.

Edit: Finished Chisato's route which was also the only avaiable on the first run. I have underestimated the VN because it has left a better impression than I thought. Of course my being a hopless romance-VN fan helped a lot. With that as foundation, Chisato's route was quite nice and I was relieved that the drama/personal conflict didn't turn out as I feared it would and as opposed to manga ShoRom drama I could understand Chisato's troubles D:. But jeez, I'd like more protas who aren't completely oblivious to the girls. Yuki was in that regard not really better, but fortunately got quite better muuuch later on. It's always a surprise to see the radical difference between japanese student council elections and the western ones. At least I cannot remember such work emphasis in german universities/colleges. @canon ending: It's not an eroge, but Symphonic Rain also has a true end after you have finished all available parts before and obviously Clannad. I know about Sharin no Kuni + fandisk relation, but somehow forgot to mention it. Majikoi has also a True route (if the walkthrough's describing it as such is worth something), just not in terms of pairings ... The only game that is composed of only "canon pairings" is Ef - a fairytale of the two Last edited by Mahou; 2011-08-06 at 17:05. |

You really can't go wrong with Ef - a fairytale of the two unless you get the bad endings Seems like this thread turned into a discussion thread while at the same time still being on-topic for eroge games
Natsuyuki - I fully supported the brocon - siscon relationship between Kazu and Natsuki. The plot itself was pretty linear and purely meant for those who are oneecons.

But anyway yeah... I personally am somewhat okay with this being a bit of a general discussion thread (if people start discussing any given title/topic too much, then I guess we should create a new thread for that title/topic)... but am also open to suggestions about what would be best going forward.

Currently playing Muv-Luv...
I struggled through Extra; the whole school life thing isn't my favourite setting but it was worth getting through it to unlock Unlimited. I struggled my way through Extra though I had a lot of laughs but on the whole I only just finished it through shear force of will. If I had known only Meiya and Sumika's routes were the only prerequisits for unlocking Unlimited I would have just done that. XD But Unlimited was great, it's worth going through Extra just so you can notice how glaringly different but also at the same time how similar the characters are from one universe to the next. The ending(s) to Unlimited left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth but several heart warming moments. Meiya is undoubtedly my favourite Muv-Luv girl and her ending to Unlimited was the most moving of all the heroine's to me. I started Alternative Sunday night and am about eight hours into it and I'm really enjoying it. Although where I'm up to at the moment has a disturbing lack of Meiya...

Renaming should work, imho. Most general discussions do also include favorite-talks sooner or later if it fits in the topic and such. Since I have started quite late into the (Eroge)VN-genre, most discussions were already over for the "classic" ones unfortunately.

Don't worry, she will have her moments in Alternative. If only... As for this thread, I'm ok with renaming it to ''your favorite eroge games and discussion'' kinda name. And if someone gets into discussion about particular title too much, he/she can always create a new topic with it's name and continue there.

A bit late after I played it, but I enjoyed AXL's Itoshii Kanojo no Mamorikata. It starts off sounding like a Bakatest-borrowed scenario (competition between classes for better amenities), but it has its own unique setting that I really like.
On a side note, the backlog in that game allows you to skip to any part within it.

It really is on a completely different level to any other VN's I've played. I always thought I'd say Ever17 was my favourite but Alternative is just so bloody good. I know when I do finish it, I'll be sad to see the end of it...

If you know Japanese and if you feel like hanging with the characters again, you can give Altered Fable a try. People say it's like an alternative version of Extra and many didn't like it, but I still think that it's a worthy ride. And of course, don't miss the Total Eclipse anime that is in the making.
