General Eroge Impressions & Discussion

[moozxy]

Ah thanks! I've been looking for a site like that! I'll have a look through.
Are there any that have been really popular? Since chances are I'll probably like them too..
As for genre..I guess I'd like romance.. But wouldn't mind adventure.. or mystery haha tbh I don't really mind.

So, ef - the latter tale. finally got the first release date - 2008/05/30. Thank God this will be over soon. ^^;

[Dagger]

Thanks for the heads up! Now the arduous wait begins. ;_;

Speaking of far-off release dates, I noticed that Navel's long-awaited "Oretachi ni tsubasa wa nai -under the innocent sky" got a released date of June 28th 2008, and they even have a day counter on their website (only 220 days away!). In both cases, it seems just a tad bit early to start the heavy release promo, but sure... So long as they actually hit the date, I guess...

Oh, Soshite Ashita no Sekai Yori seems to be out!

I can't get it yet... No space...

Blah...so basically ef anime will tell the whole story way before the second game comes out, good job Minori :P .

[Dagger]

Well, there's always Kuze and Mizuki. And Yuuko! ^^;;

[cyth]

I somehow don't believe the anime will cover every major plot point. Not in line with minori's marketing. ^^; Yuuko is more than interesting, so I'll be picking up the latter tale as well.

Currently enjoying Ayakashibito. I've just gotten started, but it's really good so far... I have some issues with Suzu, but all the other girls are very much to my tastes, and although the serious parts and the fights are great, it's also witty & hilarious. (I just got to Aino Karito's introduction, haha.)

[johnishida]

I just finished Rin's Bad route in Little Busters and finally got Ashita No Sekai Yori which I will start playing once I finish Komari's route in Little Busters.

[shadowplay]

Got my first ending of Asuseka *brag, brag* with Yuhi, and well it was nice ride but except for another "twist" later in the game nothing overly special or powerful, not sure if I liked her character being too clingy at times. And I'm thinking Aoba's or Minami's ending could be more interesting than hers, we'll see. Lots of nice CGs throughout the game but I guess that doesn't need to be said. As usually looks like you need to go through all individual girls endings to reach After, an epilogue part of the game where final end awaits. Won't comment anymore till I reach there.

[Acseru]

I just finished playing Wind ~A Breath of Heart~ and next I'm planning to play Yume Miru Kusuri(or Planetarian). Are there any other Eroges in english worth playing?

And mirror-moon is translating Utawarerumono, that's propably worth testing.

Yuuhi is...clingy?

I didn't expect that. o_O

[johnishida]

Started playing Ashita No Sekai Yori-- currently following Minami's path. First play.

So far, the game is really nice. When the whole 'problem' is announced the change in the atmosphere of the characters and on the game itself was just great. Could not help but feel really sad during the moment some of the character when ahead and talked about their future, etc.

Does anyone know who directed the Ashita no Kimi to Au Tame ni OP? Could it be someone who's worked with Shinkai in the past? It's so much like his work...

Wow at that OP!... well maybe it's done by him or at least in his studio, minori writers are behind this game after all, to make a connection.

Into English? I really want to play, but my grasp of kanji is quite pathetic, and I don't feel like trying to play the game with a dictionary in hand the entire time...

IMO, the character animation (and even some of the backdrops) and direction look quite similar to previous Purple Software openings. However, there's certainly a resemblance to Shinkai's art.
