The arcs are usually in different worlds,how does choosing something make you enter one arc?

Yes, Ryuugu-chan, you must choose some options to enter the arc you want to play. For example, At the start, if you try to escape from all the problems, you wind up in Taraimawashi-hen, but if instead, for example, you decide to go with Rena to the dump, you are entering Onikakushi-hen. You have to keep choosing until the festival, that's when most of the arcs start. You know when they start because a poem of Frederica Bernkastel appears.

The problem is simple ; The game you got is the expantion version of the game ( Higurashi no naku koro ni Matsuri Kakera asobi) you need to get the first version of the game. What the game asked is to look for saved file of the previous version.

In fact, there are 3 versions

The original version.

The 'improved version'.

The 'cheaper' improved version. This version is the same as the 'improved version' but you have to use together with the original version.

[kande73]

thank you all so much!!

i don't quite remember about the TIPS, but there's new Frederika's Poem in every exclusive arcs. Here's one of them

Spoiler for Poem by frederika bernkastel in Taraimawashi-hen (PS2 exclusive arc):

Spoiler for 第壱章【盥回し編】だいいっしょう【たらいまわしへん】 :

あなたの見たいものは、なんですか？
私がそれを見せてあげましょう。

あなたの聞きたいことは、なんですか？
私がそれを教えてあげましょう。

だけど、期待はしないでください。
目と耳を閉じているあなたにはきっと無駄なことだから。

-Frederica Bernkastel

Spoiler for Chapter one -Taraimawashi-:

What is it that you want to see?
I shall show it to you
What is it that you want to hear?
I shall tell you about it
But, Please don't expect anything
For you, who close your eyes and ears surely is meaningless

-Frederica Bernkastel

Just a quick question. I've been planning to buy the Higurashi Matsuri for quite a while now. I do have a playstation 2, but does Matsuri work on a ordinary ps2?

The PS2 is region locked so if your PS2 isn't japanese, it won't play. In order to bypass the region lock, you have two options at your disposal: mod your PS2 or get Swap Magic. I would recommend to you the second one since it's only a disc that you load into your PS2.

Okies, and where do I get this Swap Magic? And how exactly does it work?

[Golden Witch Drugs]

Some more questions :3 (I have a looot of questions, so I don't mess up everything when I buy the game)

Okay here we go:
There are the matsuri game right? And what chapter does just the ordinary Matsuri game contain? And in Kakera Asobi, what chapters does Kakera Asobi contain? And do I need the original Matsuri if I want to but Kakera Asobi?? And what is the different between Matsuri (ordinary), Matsuri Omochikaeri set, and Matsuri append?? I'm so confused O_O

I hope you understand my bad english ^^''

i've played both matsuri and matsurik kakera asobi, but not yet to played append ver.

If you have bought the original Matsuri, then you just need to buy the append version of kakera asobi and need to load matsuri's saved data when playing this version.
If you don't have the original Matsuri, then you just have to buy Matsuri Kakera Asobi (the other, not append ver.)

Spoiler for Higurashi game:

Matsuri Kakera asobi have many improvement from the original matsuri including:
-better scenario chart (in kakera asobi, you can jump to any part of the chart)
-Full Keichi Voice (in original matsuri game, Keichi only-voiced after getting into one of the chapter)
-New Movie added
-TIPS Section is voiced
-and many other.

i hope this help

No, Kets asked for the poems for the extra arcs from Higurashi Matsuri, and those ones are not in the Frederica Bernkastel poems thread... It would be a good idea if someone put them there, though...

[Risa chan]

oh i see sorry then. anyway , i think it'll be a goog idea to do another Thread for Matsuri's poems. Anyway thank you Roll for this translation ^^. I'll look for others

Here's the other (last two) of Frederika Bernkastel's Poem from Higurashi PS2 Games

Spoiler for Poem by frederika bernkastel in Tsukiotoshi-hen (PS2 exclusive arc):

Spoiler for 第陸章【憑落し編】だいろくしょう【つきおとしへん】:

罪を犯すことは怖くない。
怖いのは、それを認めること。

罰を受けるのは怖くない。
怖いのは、その痛みを知ること。

世界から罪と罰はなくならない。
だって、人間は未来を知ることが出来ないから。

-Frederica Bernkastel

Spoiler for Chapter Six -Tsukiotoshi-:

Committing a Crime isn't Scary.
the Scary part is to admit it.

Receiving a Punishment isn't Scary.
The Scary part is to know the pain of it.

Neither Crime nor punishment will be gone from the world
Because, humans is unable to know their future

-Frederica Bernkastel

Here's another from Miotsukoshi-hen

Spoiler for Poem by frederika bernkastel in Miotsukoshi-hen (PS2 exclusive arc):

Spoiler for 最終章【澪尽し編】さいしゅうしょう【みおつくしへん】 :

誰だって幸せになる権利がある。 難しいのはその享受。

誰だって幸せになる権利がある。 難しいのはその履行。

私だって幸せになる権利がある。 難しいのはその妥協。

-Frederica Bernkastel

Spoiler for Final Chapter -Miotsukoshi-:

Everyone has a right to pursue a happy life.
The difficult part is to be given that right.

Everyone has a right to pursue a happy life.
The difficult part is to fulfill that right.

I too have a right to pursue a happy life.
The difficult part is to work out a compromise for that right.

-Frederica Bernkastel

yes, this one is pretty much the same as in Matsuribayashi-hen.
