HELP PROF CHOOSE WHAT TO LP NEXT
Our choices are threefold!
Ever17 is a visual novel, like Fate/Stay Night only with 100% less Nasu! It's not as action packed, but the writing is generally better, the plot is compelling, and the true ending is absolutely fantastically mind-blowing.
LeMU is an aquatic amusement park, built 51 meters below sea level. Despite repeated claims that it is totally, 100% safe, everything goes disastrously wrong, trapping a small group of people inside it, with no access to the surface. As they search for a way to escape, parts of the complex are collapsing one by one... can they work together in order to survive? How are all their stories connected? What is the truth behind LeMU?
Game contains:
Suspense!
Romance!
I would be playing through the game's five routes - there are bad ends, but they aren't as entertaining as Fate's and there isn't a Dojo, so I'm skipping them for this LP. Total estimated length would be 50+ chapters.
The Spirit Engine 2 is a totally awesome indie RPG set in an original world that is actually interesting! Knowledge of TSE1 is 100% unnecessary, as they're as connected as any two Final Fantasy games.
The plot is fairly complex, and starts as a story about a conspiracy behind a war between two countries, and escalates to have sudden crazy sci-fi elements all over the place! The characters are compelling, the game design original, and the setting totally awesome. I mean, if I'm singing an RPG's praises, you know it must be good, 'cause I hate RPGs on principle.
Game contains:
Awesome Characters!
Fighting!
I'd play through the game normally, as it is pretty linear, although I would totally let the viewers select my party members at the start. Undecided on whether or not I'd do full game text like I did with Cave Story - the writing is awesome, but there's quite a bit of text to get through. Maybe somewhere in between? Estimated length is 25-50 chapters.
Super Touhou Wars is a doujin game that takes the characters, plot, and setting of the Touhou series and stuffs them all into the Super Robot Wars gameplay template! The general flow is that of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, but characters and plot elements from a variety of other games are present. Production values are top notch, story is surprisingly solid, and the gameplay is arguably more interesting than real SRW games!
Game contains:
Strategy!
Over-the-top attack animations!
I would be simultaneously playing through the Reimu and Marisa paths side by side, for the full experience. Also, I'd be partially translating the script as I go, but only in F/SN LP-style summaries, because holy christ this game is wordy and all in Japanese and there is no English translation out there that I know of. Estimated length is exactly 20 chapters.
OKAY GUYS LET'S PUT THIS SHIT TO A VOTE
