Satoshi Ookami Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 i wanted to buy this game, but after reading you play a old guy and there are no loli's in the game i'm not intrested anymore This guy has the correct priorities Screw lolis, it's a mystery VN.

Lucas Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Because skippers. That defeats the purpose of the game though Well, tell ME about it... :/ But people do it, we can't do much about it. Yeah, I never understood that though. I mean, of course they do it for quick, easy trophies but wouldn't you rather experience the game? Maybe it turns out the game could have been one of your favorites if you would have just experienced it, but you wasted your experience by spoiling the story for yourself because you completely skipped through it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon-Archon Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The trophy list looks like a normal VN list, with most being awarded for completing each route and some miscellaneous ones. Looking forward to this game. You're phrasing me for that? That defeats the purpose of the game though Yeah, I never understood that though. I mean, of course they do it for quick, easy trophies but wouldn't you rather experience the game? Maybe it turns out the game could have been one of your favorites if you would have just experienced it, but you wasted your experience by spoiling the story for yourself because you completely skipped through it . I agree, in games like these the story is one of the most important things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegirlruka Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You're phrasing me for that? You said screw lolis. That can be interpreted in a different way That's why phrasing would be important 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 So I just finished the first two chapters and I must say I'm pretty suprised how good the game actually is. Sure, I already had high expectations for this game but it still suprised me. The story instantly grabbed my interest within the first few minutes and starts very exciting right off the bat. I'm going to bed now but I'm very excited to play more tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) I thought this pretty interesting. The creator of Root Letter discussed his inspirations for the game and possible sequels in a post on the PS Blog. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2016/11/07/creator-of-ps4-visual-novel-root-letter-talks-its-inspirations-potential-sequels/?emcid=social_20161107_67626546&adbid=795718986478403584&adbpl=tw&adbpr=36969785 One thing bothers me about this though, and that's how in the title it says "Creator of PS4 visual novel". Clearly that's some sort of typo, because what is this "PS4"? There is no PS4, only Vita. For this transgression, I will sacrifice five virgins to our Vita overlords. Do not cross us again! Root Letter is a unique game in terms of atmosphere and people have always asked: “What was the inspiration for it?” Root Letter is a very personal project for us. Character designer Minoboshi Taro and I share a passion for Japanese teen movies from the seventies. We always wanted to work on something inspired by those feelings. Things like first loves and memories from our time at school. The Kadokawa Group has always had a wealth of mystery series, either as books or movies, so we thought we should work on a videogame with similar themes too, following Kadokawa’s established tradition. One of the main things we wanted to do was create a setting that was different, to show a side of Japan people don’t often see. Shimane is interesting in that there are not many cities where the mountains meet the sea. One such place is the town of Matsue. We also wanted to set the game in a little town, far away from a big metropolis like Tokyo. There is a good reason for this. In a small town, more than in big cities, people grow up and live their entire lives life maintaining the same relationships. This game is about how those relationships evolve, while exploring one of humanity’s most enduring personal questions: “What if I made different choices in the past?” One of the embodiments of this feeling — of nostalgia, and the permanence of the past — is the letter. A means of communication that’s not often used anymore, but in our youth they were very personal things. They are the perfect means to explore the past of a person — but they can also be very misleading personal artifacts, especially when telling a story or recounting the past. Also, letters gave the reader a big sense of expectation, especially in pen-pal relations. I think this is something everyone can relate to. I guess the modern day equivalent is the feeling you get when you eventually meet on online friend in person. This is just one of the themes we wanted to explore. Relationships, and how human beings grow emotionally, are complicated processes, so obviously there are lots of nuances in the life of a person. When you are young, you have dreams and expectations that are not always met by reality. Somehow, through letters, we capture a moment in the life of the main characters. And then, like in a time capsule, we have them living it again through player investigations — and, of course, the various reactions are not always pleasant. Ultimately though, we wanted to have a game that felt truly grounded in reality. We wanted the player to feel they grew to know someone for better or worse, but also to feel that they had come to know a location and its citizens very well. We worked extremely closely with the authorities in Shimane Prefecture, for example. We went searching for locations and, during the process, we asked the people we met to be in the game. They also helped us to find more interesting places, they checked the script to add some colour with local dialect and expression — everything happened very naturally. We are really looking forward to seeing players’ feedback on Root Letter, especially as it is rooted in Japanese culture. But we are also sure that the themes in the game — like nostalgia and youth — are universal. So I am sure that, on a certain level, there will be a connection that transcends cultural differences! We hope that western gamers can enjoy a journey in the life of a normal Japanese person and experience some thrill with the story — and perhaps a desire to come to Japan and visit Shimane prefecture! As you know, Root Letter is the first in the Kadokawa Mystery Game series. We already have a few ideas for the sequel. We had three locations in Japan as possible settings. For the first game, Root Letter, we chose Shimane. The next title could be very different, but the Kadokawa Game Mystery series will be always connected by three elements: the digital actresses, a location with an amazing history and, obviously, an interesting story driven by a great mystery! I very much hope you all enjoy Root Letter and thank you kindly for all your support! Edited November 7, 2016 by Undead Wolf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The news about sequels is great. Let's hope there will be VNs that can rival Steins;Gate. That's quite a tall order, my friend. The only ones I can think of that currently rival it are the Danganronpa, Zero Escape, and Phoenix Wright games. Let's face it though, even if a VN is half as good as those ones, it's still great. As for upcoming games that could rival it, there's always Steins;Gate 0 and Danganronpa 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Danganronpa and Virtue's Last Reward, but haven't played any Phoenix Wright, watched the anime though. I'm hoping Steins;Gate0 and Root Letter are going to be mindblowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
