Well that's way more than we have for hypothetical Mahoyo sequels so I'm feeling quite optimistic. Elden ring coming out probably unironically delays this though.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293161
Mahouyo ended on a fairly concrete route, so I'm satisfied. I know Nasu planned to continue it, but it's not like the story stops midway through.

Also, I'm not sure why no one has mentioned this, but the production quality for Tsukihime-R is nowhere near Mahouyo (aside from VA). I know Mahoyo was probably overproduced and never intended to make a profit, but considering the advertisements Tsuki-R has got – compared to Mahouyo's none – I was surprised how less flashy it was. Maybe it's because it's longer and the flashy stuff comes later.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293268
>the production quality for Tsukihime-R is nowhere near Mahouyo (aside from VA)
Huh, you really think so? The assets are all clearly higher quality and the CGs are gorgeous. Well I guess I haven't seen anything as flashy as Aoko laser beams yet as far as the scripting goes but I'm still only on the 4th day. It seems extremely well produced to me at any rate.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293652
I'm not super far in either, but the production quality for Mahouyo was just amazing. Just re-read the first hour. It's clearly a game made with an unlimited budget, never intended to make a profit.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293709
Have you gotten to the slice and dicing of Arcueid yet? If not, you might change your tune on that part. I'd say Tsuki R has higher production quality so far in every department except the scripting. But I'm assuming I'm just not far enough in story yet.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293905
No, I'm only at the first night and the wolves howling.
Have you read Mahouyo? The opening sequence was amazing, not to mention the battle at the amusement park.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293971
>Have you read Mahouyo?
Of course and I agree that it was amazing. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure there's good stuff in here. It's just later in the story. The few fire effects and stuff I've seen have been very nice.

[Anonymous No.]

I hate forgetting more than anything so I'll be waiting for the second part of Tsukihime to release.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36294021
While I might have sounded negative, I haven't dislikedTsuki-R so far; the production (and direction) quality in Mahouyo was just so far beyond what one would expect in VNs, and so far Tsuki-R hasn't matched that—this doesn't make it bad, of course. I've heard the NES detective club VNs have also stellar production quality, having both Nintendo funding and being relatively short—ten hours or so—but I haven't tried them myself.

The general idea that you should stop the bleeding rather than just going to sleep and letting it continue is true, even if the exact phrasing is questionable.

[Anonymous No.]

The cellphone was from Sorcery Jokers iirc. The umbrella sprite is from Suika.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36296400
Well of course but in the event that you can't immediately tend your own wounds for whatever reason, I would assume going to sleep would be better than staying awake. If you sleep, your heartbeat will slow down and that should also slow the blood flow thus resulting in less blood less. Well it makes sense in my head anyway not about to try it.

Only in my first scene with Akiha and I already want to do her route, fuck you Nasu, she is best girl and I'm going to feel blueballed.
The good thing is that her route was pretty much perfect so it can do with few rewrites.

[Anonymous No.]

Some visual novels I'd love to see translated to English are the works of a group called Lump of Sugar. They're responsible for some titles as Nursery Rhyme, Prism Rhythm and Tayutama, the later one got an anime adaptation, but the VNs themselves are still only available in Japanese, as far as I know.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36296512
Your metabolism slows when you sleep, so the healing processes can also slow a bit. It's certainly better to be still than moving around and reopening wounds that clotted though.
I'm just saying >>36295537 seems very nitpicky considering there's a ton of worse misinformation in many eroge.
Seems like an autistic criticism of someone who hasn't read a lot of games other than Tsukihime.

I'm reading Tsukihime remake as my first untranslated VN. Honestly, it's not that hard grammar wise. Looking up vocab is a bitch, but I'm not really having any issues understanding the game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36298691
Original tsukihime was pretty easy for a so called chuunige too. VNs frankly aren’t very hard unless they’re dealing extensively with a lot abstract ideas, and there’s very few VN like this. You get used to an authors purple prose after 20k or so 文字.

I honestly wonder sometimes if the average JP L2+ VN player just doesn’t read very often in their native language.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36299473
Yeah my only real issue is I only know a couple hundred words, so I'm looking up basically everything. But so far there have been tons of repeated words so I'm already coming across entire lines I can read outright with no lookups.

[Anonymous No.]

Has anyone actually finished Tsukihime on an emulator without issues? Would hate to read for hours just to run into an unsolvable problem many hours in.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36299902
The videos work and the more intensive scenes do too, at least on ryujinx.
VNs, as long as they are 64-bit, tend to work flawlessly (videos going fullretard nonwithstanding).

[Anonymous No.]

>>36299902
Anyone claiming to have finished it by now is a dirty liar and/or speedreader. This shit is long as fuck. That said, it's nearly flawless on Yuzu so I wouldn't worry. I even played the OP without any real problems (just some minor flickering at the top but who cares).

[Anonymous No.]

I'm half convinced some of the people who say XYZ VN is "really hard" to read only partially mean it's hard to read because the JP is difficult.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they thought it's "hard to read" in their native language too.

But that's neither here nor there.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300574
仏蘭西少女 would be relatively up there.
Either way thinking things are "hard to read" is a misconception born from pure illiteracy. Once you read a proper novel or two you'll have all the tools to deal with reading the rest, other than the occasional obscure term all novelist love to use in their flexes. Same with visual novels, usually chuunishit.

If this actually happens + the other Tsukihime part coming out in a reasonable time frame, I'd consider the Type-Moon redemption arc to be complete. I'd never thought I'd see the day.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300835
If you think they won't follow up FGO with a new gacha game and that the Tsukihime remakes won't lead straight into that then you're really naive.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300850
There's really no way to make Tsukihime a gatcha. I mean you try, but it would definitely flop. The setting doesn't have a gimmick like Fate does where you can constantly shit out waifubait and new characters and have gatcha players eat them out.

does anyone have a living link for the ps2 port for demonbane? the torrent on nyaa says it has seeders but is practically dead and the megalink i found in the archive is also dead

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300877
It won't be Tsukihime in itself, but from what I've heard of the remake (haven't had the time to play it yet) there's a good chance to expand the nasuverse and drop references into whatever gacha could come next.

they made like 8.8 billion yen just this august, i don't think they'll pull the plug on that any time soon, i at least hope nasu hands over the reigns to his peon writers and "supervises" them whilst he works on his own shit

Turn DHT on for nyaa torrents. I have to use a separate torrent client for that, because private trackers will ban you for leaking their torrents with DHT.

[Anonymous No.]

You don't have to use a separate client, private torrents are marked private and won't use DHT...
Besides, nyaa torrents have lots of trackers, I doubt lack of DHT is why he doesn't have peers, could be >>36300976 like I mentioned.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300709
Most the assets will have already been made so it shouldn't take as long as the first part. Of course that's assuming the main reason for the delay wasn't Nasu being extremely slow at writing.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36302185
Speaking of assets, how is that going to work with the next part? The size of the first part is pretty massive. I'm not sure how this would work on something with hypothetically 4 routes. Can console games reuse data/assets from another game? I have no clue how this works.

[Anonymous No.]

>>36300712
Very true. I'll add that a lot of the "very hard to read" VNs are due to the author just being bad at conveying simple things, which makes the reading process unnecessarily complicated. It's not the kind of thing one would notice if they hadn't read enough in their native language to be able to spot it, so a lot of the time it gets passed off as things that will "test your JP knowledge" instead of what it really is, "test your reading skills".

[Anonymous No.]

>>36293268
>>36293652
>>36293709
While I do agree that Mahoyo is visually much more flashy and meaty (and personally in this aspects still stands at the top of Novel games can offer) compared to Tsukihime Remake, I do believe it is the intention in a way, not really a matter of "budged"and stuff like this. Mahoyo was something that tread a new path (exaggerated but you get the idea). With Tsukihime it seems appropriate to make it new and fresh but also more reminiscent of the original (slightly more static etc.). That being said what little I had opportunity to experience (about an hour of reading at friends Switch) it still is luscious and wonderful.

But damn, Nasu, give me the PC版!

Why is the "shitload of text that's actually just an image" format so common over there anyway? In English, you just type everything up in HTML like a normal person. In Japan it's like they type this all in word, take a fucking screenshot, and then embed it on the website or something silly like that. Is it just to dab on MTL shitters?

[Anonymous No.]

>>36310498
Don't quote me on this since I'm not exactly an expert on the history of trends in Japanese web-design but I would guess it could be a relic of late 90s very early 00s when there was a time (a dark period indeed) when sites were quite often done in HTML tables format. Cute, laughable, insane from today's viewpoint but yes that sure was a thing. Also for many people it was (and still is I guess) easier to make an image you want in photoshop (fonts, text, effects, etc.) export it to a file and just slap that finished pic into the center of the web.

Man, reading the remake reminded me of the retardedly huge disconnect between the near and far side routes in tsukihime.
They feel like borderline filler that doesn't answer any of the actual foreshadowing from the beginning of the game, despite the worldbuidling and such. They are cool but the actual plot about the Tohno family is so much better.

I finished Arc’s route in the tsukihime remake and I’m kind of disappointed that the plot and structure pretty much stayed the same, the production values and new characters were good but definitely wasn’t worth the 13 year wait lol. I liked the early common route stuff and day 5 so I’m still hyped for Ciel’s route and the rest of the game. And it’s not like Arc’s route was bad, just kind of expected them to expand it more from the original.

English was my second language and Japanese is my fourth. I've never dared read a visual novel in my native tongue, saying that'd be hellish, especially considering the limited lexicon of all fantranslators that even try to pull that shit off, is selling it short.
I also learnt Japanese for videogames in general, both old and new, moreso than eroge. I just stick with the genre because it makes for a great way to practice the language, I mostly stick to nukige these days since rather than giving my real reading time for literature away I'd rather sacrifice my masturbation routine instead.

Something that I find interesting, and I'm not quite sure how to feel about, is the technology update to reflect the fact the VN is now set 20 years later. Nasu's done a lot of lampshade hanging about it, there's lines about how their old-fashioned uniforms were recently updated to be more modern, or how in the time Shiki's been away the Tohno house has been redone to be more high-tech. It's interesting to see how he's trying to fit 20 years of differences into the same framework. That said, I do kinda miss the late 90s/early 2000s charm of the original.

They have owned the game for more than 80 hours. TM says it's 45 hours long, so safe to assume the actual play time with an average reading speed is a bit shorter than that (40h), you can probably knock another 5h off if you don't listen to all voiced lines until the end.

I'm playing it as my second VN and the only look ups I've had were for when they randomly use "archaic" kanji when as far as I can tell it doesn't change the meaning. Like what really is the point of using 棄てる as opposed to 捨てる. The only guess I could hazard was that it's used to express discarding concepts like pride more significantly as opposed to something like discarding a piece of furniture. Beyond that however, the prologue was an easy read coming from someone who started actively reading as practice to be able to read this when the release date was announced.

In cases like that, usually using different kanji has slightly different meanings/connotations. Not every author admittedly really cares about that though.

Like, being stalked and hunted by Akiha's hair is cool, but that's basically it and his fights against SHIKI where pretty low key, I wouldn't want him to start asspulling roa magic or something.
