Key Visual Arts

Discuss any of the Key Visual Arts Visual Novels here. Please observe spoilers.

So, to start off, any word on when Rewrite is going to be released?

Also, is planetarian any good?

Umm... Sorry for my bad english, but what does "Please observe spoilers" mean? Has use spoiler tags, or not?

If someone in the thread is reading something, such as Clannad, do not reveal any details that might ruin their enjoyment of it. Otherwise, it's not really important.

I'm hesitant to pick up Planetarian, personally. From what I hear, it has a downer ending, and I'm not a fan of downer endings. Especially of the sort that Key would bring.

It's good, if short. If you're adverse to downer endings I guess you should avoid it, though I dislike downer endings and still liked it.

Kanon is the only visual novel I could/cared enough to find a translation for.

Wmg: The school's basketball team is full of NBA level players. Think about it. Tomoyo didn't even do that well against them. The same Tomoyo that hits home runs off of National level baseball pitches. Yes, she was dragged down by Sunohara and Tomoya but it's not like those two are athletically incompetent. Tomoya's a formal Basketball player and Sunohara is a former soccer player. Yet they start getting owned in the second half of their match in the VN.

Dude, NBA is too much. They'd be dunking all over them. Try NCAA or Pac-10.

Don't make me remember little busters! baseball game against baseball team, i had to play it like 30 times to get a draw and get the damn CG, kinda slow but you might like it, i mean little busters! true ending is really good

• Shoots Ui for mentioning Little Busters without providing translation

Last Arha checked, Little Busters was 75% done. We're getting close now...

......

(Stares at translation loading screen)

Planning to have a party every time it loads another 1%.

For those interested.

• Now waiting for Angel Beats VN to be greenlit*

I am looking forward to Little Busters (the EX version), at the moment.

*Posting in here because I derailed the recommendations thread enough already*

.

So yeah. I downloaded Kanon.

The torrent contained several .rar files and I'm not sure what to do with them to make the thing work properly. There were 7 Kanon_standard_edition files (I assume these are the bulk of the whole thing), 3 voice_patch files, and one English_patch. Help on making it work please?

Derp. The Kanon SE I played was a simple ISO that I patched. I'm sorry, but I don't know. :(

Little Busters! EX does look like it's going to be fun. Waiting for the full translation patch (currently they're translating the normal ver, progress about 70%).

But I'll ask for opinions anyway.

@Arha: If you know what the third drama CD is about, Planetarian does not have a downer ending, although the cliffhanger is still there.

Oh, and Na-Ga's artstyle >> Itaru Hinoue's artstyle

^ Me too. The designs used in Angel Beats! had more proportional faces as compared to the big three of Key.

Key Visual Arts...

Marry Paradox Interactive, please, will you?

Perhaps they could make a more safe for work version of Ikki Tousen?

The progress is probably over 80% by now. I don't think they update that part until they finish a route.

I

Can't

Wait

ME

TOO.

By the way, is title of Little Busters is an intentional reference to The Pillows song? Kanon and Clannad already had music-related title references (though afaik the latter was accidental).

In other news, I FUCKING LOVE THE PILLOWS.

Speaking of Little Busters, I'd put the current translation at somewhere around 85-90%. There are only two routes left to do and they're something like half done and two thirds done.

Does this include Extasy? And if not, how much time will that take?
