Your Favourite Visual Novel
« on: July 15, 2011, 01:47:08 am »
I don't see why there isn't one of these. xD No love for VNs guys?

My faves:
Ace Attorney Series - Case trials are so cool! Finding contradictions and solving mysteries has never been more fun.
999 (lol cirno) - Having nothing to do with Cirno, from the writer of the amazing VN Ever17, 999 tells a sorta similar story actually, but the gameplay is different and the mystery is amazing.
Umineko - More mysteries? I love mysteries I guess lol. Don't let the anime stop you from playing this. Otherwise... You'll neer learn about Erika's chopsticks.
Saya no Uta - Do I need to comment? Gen going to work here.
ef - a tale of - I'm still playing through this, but I love the anime and this just gives me more routes, so of course I'll like it. xD

For the most part I don't really play visual novels, but I'm a tiny bit obsessed with the half strategy RPG half visual novel Sakura Taisen series. I've played all five of the main games (2 and 3 are my favourites~), as well as most of the spinoffs across various platforms. It's not typically the sort of thing I go for, but the games are so irresistibly cheerful, and are full of so much campy, intentionally corny charm. I love the music, too, as well as the various stage shows that have grown out of the games over the years. ^_^

Yume Miru Kusuri is my favourite.

Great story, especially the Aika arc, has you raging by the end, very well done.

Would highly recommend it to anyone.

And for that, we are in your debt!  Its extremely irritating to own a game and barely be able to understand it.

Lets all show Tomoyo some love!

I have to agree with Ixlone on this one.

Yume Miru Kusuri is my favourite. As he says, the Aeka arc is just fantastic.

I'm pretty fond of Swan Song as well. It's a post apocalyptic setting. Very atmospheric, very well written, great art work. Probably one of the best TL's I've seen for a visual novel too.

I love Cross Channel, too. I never got very far in it but it's another one with great writing and great atmosphere. One day I'll go back and do it properly.

My favourite translated VN is Snow Sakura. It's hilarious, and I actually got a little attached to the characters.

However, my very favourite is Fortune Arterial, which I read with the aid of translators. Just so you know, the original is a hundred times better than the anime, even if the anime is quite watchable. I literally fell in love with Erika. The second time in my life I got a crush on an imaginary character (if we exclude a dream I once had, lol). The skill of the writing shone through the horrible machine translations, and the mood was quite powerful.

Of course, if I were to judge based on the HCG's, I'd come up with completely different names and a lot more of them... :P

I absolutely fell in love with the characters of Fortune Arterial just by watching the anime. I really want to play the VN too. Fortune Arterial is one of the rare cases where I actually love the canon coupling.

Well, it's a VN, so of course there are multiple routes, but the main one is Erika's, yes. It's such a shame that most of her best romantic interaction with Kouhei didn't make it to the anime. I was so looking forward to the first kiss scene, it's awesome... :(

The last one I finished is most definitely my favorite. G-Senjou no Maou.


The fact that the overly calculating villain is voiced by Fukuyama Jun (Lelouch) only makes it all more epic.
