I like it when you die quickly after making a wrong choice. Unlike some VNs where you have to go back and replay entire paths from scratch. (Animamundi Dark Alchemist is particularly bad in this regard because choices in the very first scene influence what ending you get, so you have to replay the entire thing from the beginning to get different endings.)
Personally, I usually do one playthrough blind, just to experience the game and get a sense of the characters, and then after that I refer to walkthroughs with the aim of getting 100% completion.

So I have Yume Miru Kusuri on my download list... Anyone else play this?
My FF.net accountJust downloaded it and intend to play once I finish Ef.
I have no time for V Ns these days.
My FF.net accountI played it and liked it a fair bit. The art and music are very good and if nothing else it has a measure of ambition. It is though, going to be pretty dependant on your temperament whether you cry like a little bitch or balk at some of the narm and anvils. There's also a lot of smut scenes for the length, but they're more justified in context than some. Aeka and Nekkoko's routes are straightforward, but you may need a walkthrough to get Mizuki's good end, as its one of those ones where choices made midway through can block you off without any indication of having done so.
They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams for an instant, then it's night once moreFinished Ef. Got me a bit emotional during times, and it's a good VN, but not at a Tear Jerker level.
I was miffed that there were no extras though T_T. Such beautiful character models and not a single way to see them without having to go through the game.
I'm on the Chihiro chapter of ef. :D I've been looking forward to it a ton. But I really did enjoy Kei's chapter, which was severely gutted for the anime version. and I totally enjoy the ero scenes! hehe.
I hope NNL will someday release a more complete version :3 I do miss being able to view C Gs and stuff.
ShineBtw, fave character = Miyako.
In Ef, for some reason I really enjoyed The Reveal at the end about the two towns It almost made me fall out of my chair, even though in retrospect, it was the only logical explanation, and there were quite a few hints.
De gustibus non est disputandum.Yeah, I really liked that part too. Really nice.
Anyone know the name of this song or where I can find the piano sheet music or tutorial?

It's the first song you hear in Ef. Sound quality's pretty bad in the video so sorry bout that.
Hmmmm....
I don't know the name, but I can probably transcribe the sheet music for you if you'd like. It'll take me a while, though.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityThat would be awesome. Please do. If you finish, I will love you forever.

All right, at the rate I'm going so far, I should have it done sometime this week. Rhythms will likely be a tad off, though, but the notes should be accurate.
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityHow's it coming along =)? Sorry if I seem impatient, I just want a progress check so I can luv you more.
On another note, I can't seem to find the Happiness VN anywhere =(.
It's about a third of the way. Got to the tricky part, and haven't had much time to work on it
But I am still persevering as much as possible to fulfill your request!
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityI <3 you. =D.
Alright, I should finish it tonight, I think.
Done.
Some of the rhythms towards the beginning are off, but the notes are all right.
And as a side note, you should glissando most of the chords. My sheet music stuff kept breaking when I tried adding the glissando, for whatever reason, so I left it out :P

Ecstasy is Sustained Intensity(Insert my previous message here). Thanks very much.
So, I need a new SFW visual novel. Clannad tends to put me in a slump after I finish a route, so I need something to break from it with.
Recs?
Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityTo Heart 2, if you can find a translation of it (no known translation is publicly available AFAIK).
My FF.net accountLOL IGNORE ME I AM TERRIBLY MISINFORMED

Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityEver 17 if you can get your hands on it.
I played it without a walkthrough. I died... regularly I guess but I never had any trouble loading and continuing on. Heck, the death scenes are pretty interesting in their own right. I can't say how long it took me for the entire game since I did each route one at a time as they were translated, but it took me about a weekend for each route.
