レナ不良化＝レナ逮捕＝担任責任＝免許取上＝カレーだべられない＝死 知恵先生。この考えは・・・ｗおかしいですよｗ ＊おかしい点３つ＊ ・レナが捕まったら何故担任責任？ｗ ・免許取上でカレーが食べられないが次の考えですかｗ ・カレー食べれないから死亡ですかｗ

Is this from Tsumihoroboshi-hen? They mention Rena a lot. And this video only makes me want the game translated to US even more. D;

No, it's not. Sound novel = Emphasis on the overall ambient through focus on the music and sound effects, other than the story itself. Add the voice acting in the latter versions/PS2 remake. Visual novel = Emphasis on the story, and the graphics. The main difference is the simplistic graphics used in the Higurashi games (PS2 remakes aside), rather than elaborate sprites. The line between a sound novel and a visual novel is pretty null, but the distinction is there for a reason.

I found Daybreak more like School Rumble... Only with more plot...

Hinamo623 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Pretty much. Also Daybreak was a sound novel too, just that the major parts of the story were told in the arena game. (Wow, only a week from replying? The world goes too slow for me)

Kirinet (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

So basically it's not really a game, but more like a story?

Hinamo623 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

That's what you do. It's a SOUND NOVEL. While it's not much more than a gray area for those who can't publish books themselves or make fully animated versions of four different storylines, it is a highly played "genre" in Japan. Tsukihime, ToHeart, and Da Capo were originally adult visual novels or eroges.

Er... what exactly do you DO in Higurashi games (other than Daybreak) Because I only see people talking to each other. T.T
