And I really should read Phantom of Inferno sometime. I got it with Ever17 but never got round to it in the end. Shame it's 2 hours away at the moment |

I've written a longish review for Phantom of Inferno here. You'll also find two trailer videos for download there.
Ever17 was an enjoyable experience and definitely worth the money I spent. But since the question was which games are the kings and classics of the genre - I'd say Phantom is the undisputed best visual novel translated to English. |

So this game is sad?I don't like sad stories. Ahh, for a game I can get...
EDIT: So what's your opinion fellow gamers? Do you think that I should try it even if I'm afraid of main characters dying, a lot of people dying or not-so-happy-endings? PD: I look so feeble writting that.... Last edited by General_Norris; 2006-11-14 at 03:06. |

And you want unconvoluted resolution? Eve ~burst error~ made back in 1995 (PC98 years I think...) was a very good one. For Phantom of Inferno, it's one of the top games in the year 2000, along with AIR, TSUKIHIME and GINIRO etc. Ever17 is one of the top games in 2003, along with CROSS CHANNEL, BALDR FORCE EXE etc. Hence they are all proven successful and personal favourites were pretty much depended on TASTE. And on the bright side of news, this scenario-writer (I don't know japanese so I can't spell his name out) is back with KID again to make the fourth game in the Infinity series: "12riven" - it is called. Hmm, wondering when will it be translated... (For those who are wondering, Ever17 is the second game in the infinity series, and arguable the best one out of the existing 3)

Spoiler for DO NOT LOOK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED:
This definitely one of the best visual novels I've seen and I really liked it (I usually abhor them). The writing is sharp (both original dialogue and translated although there are tons of errors) and the characters are great for the most part. The writer took care to leave clues all over place for the player but they're all kind of embedded and you have to place close attention to the dialogue to catch it. My only other beef with the game is that... Spoiler:

Overall, I did enjoy several You (directly written by Takumi Nakazawa, I think) and Sora specific scenes, which I found to be much better scripted than the rest. Emotional impact was minimal, but I don't think you need a lot of that to present a decent story. Last edited by G005; 2006-12-11 at 19:35. |
