less censoring--

is this good looks like it is worth playing

Compared with ef lite, how is the quality? I know this only ends at chapter 2, but ef lite seems to be only 2.16 gb, it's not much larger compared to this one. I haven't finished downloading ef lite, will I be missing anything if I play that one? Which is better, playing the first and second tales (to be released) or ef lite?

This was discussed to death already. Basically there is nothing wrong with Ef Lite, there may be some trolling in the translation but it's really minor (you may not even notice most it). You can play MG's First Tale, which is without the minor trolling, but the quality is probably the same as the NNL one. Only problem is that you'll need to wait for the Latter Tale to release if you decide to go with the MG version.

If I didn't play it already, I would not wait for the 2nd part to release. If I played the First Tale only it would kinda feel like a demo.

Dude you won't missing anything, story, music and event are same the difference is translation

Quality huh? mostly my friend tell me MG is the best quality, but to me is same mangagamer has fail translate in Sandwiched by my wife and her sister, edelweiss.

Which is better? i think this you should decide by yourself. like killerinsidee say "the quality is probably the same as the NNL one".

If you really in haste want to finish this game quickly you should take ef lite, or if you patient guy like the rest us us here you probably take MG version.

It's only personal opinion, but i'd place "ef" in top5 of best games that got translated so far.

I found later tale part of story much more enjoyable, but it's mostly because of characters. Quality wise the only difference it "professional" translation instead of random memes from time to time and additional troll ending. Mosaics in H-scenes are much more bearable in this one as well - ef has really stunning graphics, and those huge pixels in lite version kinda ruin it.

Doesn't "ef" have more than one main character.

I was under the impression it was like a full picture story were their is no one side to it.

There are 4 couples in game - each chapter focuses on different couple and you play as different male character.

Yea, I thought it wasn't based on one character all the way through.

I'm not to big on that set up.

I believe it also had a anime.

Yes, two animes actually "ef - a tale of memories" shows events from "first tale", while "ef - a tale of melodies" shows events from "later tale". Anime adaptations were very good in itself, with SHAFT studio adding nice touch to it.

I am having a little problem with sound at the moment, it was running fine the first few times but now i have no voice BGM or sound effects. I tried uninstall and re-install but still get nothing. Where is the games saved files stored i want to try deleting that as well before re-installing.

What I don't understand is why mangagamer censored Ef while dengeki stryker with younger character like Haruka be uncensored.

The censoring of Ef wasn't due to MG, that was all minori there. MangaGamer Staff Blog » Blog Archive » A Word About the Upcoming ef Release Read that to find out why minori took that stance.

I prefer to wait for MG's "later tale" ef-lite has BGM issues and that giant pixel-censorship.

BTW, thanks for this Ivan

Yeah, listen to strom here.

Sometimes, studios are paranoid when bringing over titles (They don't wan't legal trouble and all that, plus there's that "all porn is censored-japanese law" too)

Uncensoring is something that is discussed between both the studio and the localizing team, sometimes even negotiated.. (I know it sucks, but that's how it works) luckily, most of the translated VN's are uncensored.

can i ask question? what is the product ID of this game?

You don't need the product ID. The game comes with a crack. Copy the stuff in the crack folder to the main installation folder and run it.

Now we wait 1 or 2 more years for the later tale.

Anyway, thanks Ivan.

Ef the first tale is the mangagamer release. Things it contains - reduced censorship, a more "official" translation, but it only has the first three chapters

Ef the fairy tale of the two is the full game. If you want to play the full game, you'll have to get this version... this version isn't bad by any means.. just expect censorship regarding h-scenes and some meme sentences, but only a few times.

and some meme sentences

Yep, it's stuff like this.

That's about as extreme as it got. Unless you count one of the bad endings where
