Narcissu visual novel

[scy]

Haha ... possibly. I was told they'll let me participate in the awesome-ness funtime of our twelve-pack challenge (ie, here's a 12-pack ... as fast as possible GO) so I guess I'll be showing the freshmen how to drink

Edit: ...totally realized that sounds wrong but ... whatever. My level of care is none~

Slightly off topic... I liked Narcissu so much that I went to the translation group's official site.

^_^; I've downloaded . Only played for 30 seconds but the art is drop dead gorgeous already.

[scy]

...30 seconds? Is that even a legal playtime?

[Maxine MagicFox]

Nope. Just me being excited and anxious to get a post in.

OMG! XD Scy - I think you'd LOVE LOVE True Remembrance. I'm nost sure yet how long it is. Clocked at least 4-6 hours (?) unsure and still not done. But it's an absolutely beautiful story with absolutely gorgeous visuals. Music isn't bad. Could have been better.... better than Tsukihime, though.

I think it's something I want to try to convince Kino to play. ^_^; If she wasn't so busy...

[scy]

Hrm ... we'll see. I'll work on downloading it but ... I have stuff to do.

...like sit on my ass and do nothing.

Edit: Totally unrelated but this YouTube video quality is holy shit amazing. So confused...

I have my computer mute since I'm sitting in living room. I'll watch later.

I went through all of Narcissu yesterday.


I cried.....only a little. Man that was beautiful.

:3 Try True Remembrance! *stuffs it in noodle's face*

But! To be on topic: (let's talk about the ending)
[spoiler]BEAUTIFUL! wasn't it? Well, you did say that, but... seriously...
And with this sort of storyline, the question DOES have to come up and I hope you don't mind my asking - you don't have to answer if you don't want to: do you agree with suicide if it's to escape pain or... as in the case presented in the game?

*sob* But seriously... I wish it had concentrated some on the protag a little more. Tell his story of after Setsumi's death, you know. I mean, did he return to 7F? It seemed like he did? But how? And what did he ultimately choose?

T-T But I'm so glad that Setsumi did get to have at least a little happiness there at the end.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I....don't know ;~;

I was always, ALWAYS against suicide, even when I had suicidal thoughts myself during my depression; I always believed that there was a life to be lived, and loved ones who would miss me. But when I think of suicide, I just think of depressed people who aren't seeing the bright side of things. But in Setsumi's case, she had no loving family, no future...for her, death was a sort of mercy. When it comes to suicide, I always forget about the people who are really doomed, and really have nothing left to enjoy. Setsumi was able to set a course to a final destination, see something beautiful, and maybe even learn to love someone, if only a little bit. With the amount of time she had left, it was a life well lived.

...man this is so sad[/spoiler]

EDIT: OH MAN I GET SO EMOTIONAL JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

AAARGH I LOVE IT

I LOVE THE FEELING OF RAW EMOTION

All right, I want in here:
[spoiler]
Totally spoil for me, are we discussing a girl choosing euthanasia because she was suffering some sort of physical pain? Or was she depressed and ending mental pain?
[/spoiler]

[Maxine MagicFox]

[noodles]

you know there is a prequel right? It's all about Setsumi's early life.

UNFORTUNATELY IT ISN'T IN ENGLISH AAAAAAAAH

[Maxine MagicFox]

*nods* I already knew

[Kinokokao]

Oh, okay
[spoiler]
In that case, I agree with her discussion to end her life. I'm for euthanasia for terminal disease.
