I don't think I've played any other VN that had a different writer for each route and weren't shit. Toxic dump waifu route in particular was great in how off the rails it gets but still had a great ending.
How did you find the ambience? One of the things that really struck me with Higurashi even from chapter 1 was how well sound is used. It's so well-done that I honestly think that Umineko is a huge downgrade in this department.
It was really good at creating a sense of dread. There were a number of times that caused me to unconsciously hold my breath. The music stings and jump you get when the doorbell goes off really helps build tension because it'll almost always never been good when someone calls or rings that thing.
How did you feel about the reveal the MC is strong at first because the furry folk have literal no attack Humans order coded into their DNA?
I actually really like the the Uta 1 Remake. Mostly because it's a story about becoming Gengis Kahn because you refused to pay taxes. Utterly based.
... I didn't get that from playing the game to be honest, maybe the anime is more explicit about this or I wasn't paying attention. he would barely survive Oboro and Benawi kicking his shit and when he went full monster vs the old warlord I just assumed that was the reason he was OP. Since I'm already talking about plot points. I like the super advanced civilization that went to shit trope, which added to the crhonology, it seems Hakuowlo was just some nosy archeologist of sort in a normal time, found the mask, got shot, got frozen probably as part of a contract with god, X years later gets unfrosted by the remmants of space humans, they make all of the furries using him as a base (which makes how much he likes fucking them go places...) and the Ab Kuman (really wanted to see how they are boarded... at first they seemed mechanical but knowing they are actually biological raises a ton of questions). Is that about right? What I don't fully get is how the furries flourished. I'm also wondering how magic surfaced. I also found it baffling that nobody ever asked what the hell Hakuowlo was, hell, I thought Benawi was a human as well at the start.
Touka all the way, Karura annoyed me very much with her fake aloof sort of attitude. Touka won me over.
Good to know. They weren't a horrible hassle mind you, in normal you barely if ever have to use resources, but I wans't enjoying them particularly much either. The final boss was an absolute slog with how much of a HP sack it was and I had zero interest playing through the game on hard. I ended up checking the bonus locked content since I was still missing more than 40 items to unlock it and after replaying a few missions, I just could not be assed.
Funniest part is how he basically ends up ruling with an Iron fist thinking "I just wanted to grow my not potatos in peace!"
The furries flourished because they were artificially created to survive in the toxic environment that humans would immediately die from. They are also regimented so that different breeds have different tasks.
Touka is marriage material, Karura I'd fuck, even with the cost of my pelvis.
Technically Nobunaga since the area in 1 is more Japan than China. 2 though is China all the way.
Poor Haku, doomed to be the smartest man in the room.
I was more referencing how they seemed to be kept on a tight leash and got discarded pretty frequently, basically, I'm surprised there was enough generic variety available to even allow it, though I imagine Iceman did take active steps to free them and give them some purpose while he was going ballistic and giving everyone in the lab the "gift" of immortality. I do enjoy how much of a petty fuck he is.
Touka is certainly lovely, though Eruru is also a keeper who is bound to Haku by soul arts. Loyalty even the Ralphamale could be proud of! Jokes aside, that twist hit me hard, specially when Eruru cannot really know if she truly fell in love with him or it's just the pact going full hog.. Ulti also had potential until she started showing she had an unhinged side....
Well, the fucker does play with hax after all.
Apperantly there were fuckton of them before humans got slimed, we only see one specific village in the flashback. Though Iceman probably did help. Plus it's been about 1000 years after the event by the time the game takes place.
There is a winner to the harem...
Yuzuha used pitty hax, PITTY HAX! Also had Oboro doing the "Leon, you have to fuck my sister!" meme. How she managed to get a child to term is a borderline miracle.
I don't agree that LB is the best they ever made. I still think that's Clannad. But, I think it's the most approachable and coherent version of "Maeda's story" he ever made.
Watanagashi was definitely quite a mindfuck for me but I started putting things together very quickly by the end of the next arc.
