Clannad Game Discussion
28th of April is the date. High school romance, YEAH! Oh, and don't forget some heart-wrenching tragedies. KEY loves to put those in their stories. But the final question is: Will it live up to the hype? We'll just have to wait and see.

OMFG another reportedly excellent game that non-Japanese may never see the light of!
Hmm... one month is still a wait (imagine the long delays this title had). I hope it has voice acting, otherwise I won't be able to play the game completely. I can play these types of games somehow trying to understand what's happening through the voices. |

One thing that you should know: This game has no sex-scenes, so "CLANNAD" is not an "ero-game." Hence, you can buy this game on the shelf in the "daylight" section of a normal game store. Will it live up to the hype? - It'll be difficult I can tell you that. It's been three years since "AIR," and TYPE-MOON's "Fate/stay night" broke the sales record for "AIR" in the January. Will fans accept a game that has no ero-scenes? Will fans still honor Key for their heart-warming stories? Will fans be willing to play a game that is rumored to be twice as long as "AIR" ? |

hmm...either Key is building this game off the same engine as "AIR" and "Kanon," their minimum machine spec is rather lame compared to TYPE-MOON's "Fate/stay night."
By comparion, "Fate stay/night"'s minimum specs were: OS: Microsoft Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP Japanese version CPU: Pentium III 400Mhz or above (Pentium III 800Mhz recommended) RAM: [Windows 98SE/Me] 128MB or above/256MB recommended [Windows 2000] 192MB or above/384MB recommended [Windows XP] 256MB or above/512MB recommended HDD: 1700MB graphics board: one that can display 65k colors at 800x600 resolution (16.7 million recommended) VGA: AGP board recommended CD-ROM: double-speed or higher (quad-speed recommended) Sound: DirectSound capable that can reproduce PCM DirectX: DirectX 5.0 or above Movie: DirectX 7.0 or Windows Media Player 6.4 or above |

From his original comment "start learning Japanese instead of whining", I take it he knows little to none at all, hence the "no difference" conclusion. Anyway, getting back on topic (somewhat), Key just announced the AIR movie, either it being an April's Fool or not is another question: http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/movie/air_movie.htm |

I wouldn't say I'm totally lost, there's stuff called game walkthroughs around. Also, I watch the anime equivalent first (if available), so I have a general idea of what's happening. |

EDIT: The key website is being very sluggish for me. Perhaps now it's getting the moonphase effect (well, whatever Japanese game equivalent of slashdot ). So either this is true, or there's gonna be a lot of pissed off fans |

The director, Dezaki Osamu blurted out in his online diary:
"dang, the art concept of Itaru-san's characters in AIR is very difficult for me" several weeks ago, so there is much presumption that this is true and not an April Fool's joke. That and it was on MOON PHASE for quite sometime Last edited by kj1980; 2004-04-02 at 02:57. |

I sincerely hope it isn't a joke.
It's one of those few things I look forward to. Maybe before the movie and Clannad come out I should completely finish AIR... I'm only missing a few graphics and endings... I wonder how many hours it would take me to get them all... I believe I still hold a record of some kind in that it took me the better part of a week and a half to get my first ending in AIR (playing about 2 hours a day). |
