In an attempt to provide a quick response to all the summer newbro's asking "what visual novels should I play first?" I am trying to put together a helpful .jpeg

Unfortunately, I have not gotten around to playing everything there is, so I was hoping to get help from everyone for suggestions for improvements. Is there anything that needs to be on this list, in any category?

[Anonymous No.]

Here's the list I've kept.

Crescendo
Snow Sakura
Planetarian
Tsukihime
Kagetsu Tohya
Fate/Stay Night
Yume Miru Kusuri
Ever17
Narcissu
Edelweiss
Kana
Hinata Bokko
Gin'iro
ONE
Kanon
Clannad
True Remembrance
Saya no Uta
Chaos Head
Da Capo
Phantom of Inferno
Wanko to Kurasou
Eve : Burst Error
Divi-Dead
Desire
ADAM : The Double Factor
Princess Waltz
Utawarerumono
Chain ~ Lost Footsteps~
Kana : Little Sister
Private Nurse
Figures of Happiness
Kira Kira
Cosplay Fetish Academy

Pluck any from this listing:
http://vndb.org/v/all?q=English;o=d;s=pop

Sorted by English translated (partial and complete).

[Anonymous No.]

My rationale for the groupings was this:

Intro titles should tend to be shorter, and not have lots of ero content.

Must sees are very good, but they are either a) long, or b) messing with you psychologically, which would be intimidating to a newbro

Extras are everything that is "good".

Unfortunately I have not gotten around to play newer titles like Kirakira or Suika, or some older titles like One and Snow Sakura.

I left some room on the side and edges for anyone to add another title to any catagory.

>b) messing with you psychologically, which would be intimidating to a newbro
To a child, maybe. Being new to a genre doesn't mean you're mentally incapable of appreciating something a little different.

[Anonymous No.]

YMK should be "good for beginners" and KT should not.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896397
I forgot about MOON and Castle Fantansia. Also you might want to put Wanko in the "Good for Beginners" category.

[Anonymous No.]

>but not good for complete newbies:
>Fate/Stay Night
...WHAT?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896378
Awful list.

Also, fuck off to /a/.

[Anonymous No.]

I suggest adding a couple of undoubtedly good, but not translated titles. Bonus points if they are easy to read with Atlas.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896408
Yeah.

KT is made of retarded flag-triggering and confusing loops. YMK is so newbie-friendly that people on /v/ play it.

[Anonymous No.]

Lose the categories, add descriptions on why something might or might not be good for beginners.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896413
FSN is so long and it has a slow beginning. Fucking prologue is an hour or two read by itself then when the story actually starts you have to go through the first three days again.

[Anonymous No.]

>Wanko to Kurasou

:x

[Anonymous No.]

Add Rance.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896433
I'm pretty sure FSN is like every other person's first VN, bro.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896423
This.

[Anonymous No.]

>also good to play
>tears to tiara

The game plays itself, you should change it to: "also to watch"- It's still shit though-

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896409
>Wanko in the "Good for Beginners" category

I'm not saying we should appeal to normals, but 'fuck borderline retarded antropomorphic pets' might make a lot of people get the wrong ideea about the VN medium.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896440
Here? Moar like Moon Princess

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896440
More like Tsukihime.

[Anonymous No.]

We already have a recomendation pic. Don't make it too comfortable for them.

[Anonymous No.]

Add Kira Kira to extras.

Higurashi, Minagoroshi was my first visual novel. Too bad the translation project never finished.

[Anonymous No.]

ok, fixing

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896451

This and nothing else.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896432
This. At least tell them what they're in for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896465
Go away.

Also, where are the classics?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896451
I approve of this motion.

[Anonymous No.]

Center it. Change "must sees" to "must reads".

Remove Wind and add Kira Kira.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896449
Who the fuck cares? It's their own problem if they're stupid enough to judge the entire medium based on one dog fucking game.

Also we really don't need a picture like this when it's better and easier to just link them to vndb.

[Anonymous No.]

This list is badly constructed, and I don't mean the titles.

>Crescendo
>Snow Sakura

Am I supposed to laugh?

Why is Air not there?

De Capo, more like De Crapo!

[Anonymous No.]

Why is Air not there?

Da Capo, more like Da Crapo!

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896528
It's not translated?

[Anonymous No.]

How about lurking more and using google?
Do you like helping retards so much? There's still /a/ in that case.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896534
Da Capo has been translated since last year. Where the fuck have you been?

Kana isn't a "must-see"?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897022
You'd know why he had a name like that if you had read it.

[Anonymous No.]

Awful list; also, where the fuck is Katawa Shoujo?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897034

[Anonymous No.]

[Anonymous No.]

Might consider adding Katawa Shoujo to the list for beginners, although it's debatable since it isn't complete yet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897080
>although it's debatable since it's shit

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897080
It's a fucking demo.
So no.

You could say the same thing about Umineko. That's not finished either.

But I agree with >>2897074

[Sakura !!sCKns1iPkwx No.]

>>2897168
Umineko is not a demo, its a series of games. KS, is a demo for 1 game.

Thread has ended peacefully.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2896520
yeah, it was a rush job, because I was hoping to get this edited in alpha stage.

Anyway, I didn't include anything that isn't completely done or almost completely done. Umeniko is the exception.

I am just thinking about scrapping the .jpeg and simply using
http://vndb.org/v/all?q=;o=d;s=pop

but, wouldn't that be like posting
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/ratings-anime.php?top50=popular
for a recomendation thread on /a/? where's the fun in that?

>>2896432
I will write short descriptions for everything as a better explanation for why these are.

Also, why all the /a/ hate on /jp/, if anything, /jp/ is more bitter and divided with trolls. A recommendation thead on /a/ is when all the GOOD anime come out of the woodwork.

[Anonymous No.]

No Suigetsu?
In any case why are you helping the newbies? It'll just encourage them to bring more people here, it's like giving an ant sugar to stop it looking for food in your kitchen. This attitude to tech support killed /g/.
If they have any interest at all, then they should very well put the effort in to look themselves. They should search for people writing reviews on blogs and in various places, and try and judge from various accounts whether each game appeals to them. Not expect everything to be passed to them in a ready-to-eat form. Something even as mildly exotic as a foreign game isn't for people that unimaginative, ff they're like that, their role in the story is to prop themselves in front of a TV all day and follow every word the advertisers say.

Good timing, I just started Suigetsu.
Is there a recommended order?
I'm at the beginning and it seems there are a lot of routes, the delicious meido Yuki's route looks certainly appealing but it seems it would be better to leave her for later.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897221
>No Suigetsu?
>english translated

[ZUN !barYV1VtIA No.]

>>2896378
>>No Kira Kira or Sengoku Rance
>>Saying Tears to Tiara and Wind are good

Why? Maybe we can give the OP pic to the /a/ friends as a joke though.

I'll try my hand at this later. And Saya is perfect for beginners due to its length.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2897934
Saya may be short, but isn't it a bit too shitty?

We had this conversation half a week ago and we told you not only that we already have a picture such as this with a lot of visual novels and if they are translated or not, but also that this is not /a/ or /v/ and you should get the fuck out for being a fag.

[Anonymous No.]

Honestly there are so few translated, if people are interested they can just do their own research.
