I think the 50 euro price isn't all that attractive, and that is why the cheaper OVERDRIVE stuff has done much better, and why Shuffle got a price cut.

Outside of the small group here, most people don't know about the Edelweiss problems, so they don't even think about it. Also, remember that they have fixed many of the Edelweiss problems, not that you purchased it and got the patch.

Yes. And it is good.

Twins did great job, but it would've taken them until 2014 to release all of it. With MangaGamer we'll get all of it by 2010 at worst. Also, according to one of the editors they appearently got twins to work on quality checking or something.

Every moment of the game from the start to finish. Let's ignore the gay horseplay on the boat as humor and instead focus the minute they step off the island and decide to fuck themselves over by running around pointlessly. They even realize that they'll probably get screwed over badly in the end and do it anyway with pretty weak ass reasoning. I guess the only saving grace is that this isn't life or death despite the fact that they act like it.

Right afterwards, the whole mistaken mermaid scene... what? It just snowballs from there. Outside of plain stupid, some of the scenes were additionally obvious. An example of that combination would probably be the flowers as presents part. The guy has less of a common sense than, "People die when they are killed" and even if he did, it's in one ear and out the other.

Yes, I liked Kira Kira. I also liked FSN. I didn't like Edelweiss despite wanting to like it. Only caveat may be that I didn't finish all the routes so maybe there is one fuck awesome route in there that I didn't play.

Well, I thought the Edelweiss protagonist was pretty good in Mizuki's route.

I guess I didn't mind the faults you pointed out since the trunk/common route was much more comedic, so I wouldn't view it seriously.

You could have wanted the standard Mary Sue protagonist who despite being an average teenager can say lots and lots of metaphors with lots of references to literatures and others that even a college graduate could never know but the main protagonist is really just your average japanese high schooler and his view of the world and narration as a whole reflect that.
That's one of the reason I liked Kira Kira, pretty refreshing compared to most other VNs.
