Gerard the Lone Wolf 10 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Which risk does that third option talk about? If only you had read the first post as well as the whole first page in this thread, you won't have to ask that silly question ya know. Oh and if you did read it but still had to ask, then, may God have mercy on your soul. Eroge being famous in the West would not change a single thing... Yeah, I really hope Rapelay can become famous too. Oh wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
someguy withaname 10 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Alright, my first post! I gotta start somewhere and I figure this is a pretty good topic so here I go...... (Four legged creature hesitantly appears from his nest and surveys his surroundings) Disclaimer: I type a lot of words for some reason or another so brace yourself for some longer than average posts in the future too In my opinion I think that it would be worth the risk. This is because I don't think eroge as it is would be required to stay in its current form everywhere else. If eroge where given the opportunity to take route in other countries it could expand itself beyond the japanese influences that it finds itself in. An example of this could be the movie industry. Lets say there is a hypothetical world were all movies are made in one country. Aside from there being far fewer movies, these movies would also be representative of THAT countries culture and ITS views of what other countries are like. This is not a problem per se, if you are a movie fan and are fascinated by that country, and its people but many many others would be turned off by being forced to learn about a foreign culture, such is the sad world we live in. There would be many who would say things like "Why should I watch movies? I here they have anti-[input religion] depictions of sex" or "Movies!? Their kind of weird. Whats with [input any cultural bias you want]" etc, etc. Obviously this sort of world does not exist and movies are excepted pretty much everywhere they are available. They also come in all shapes in sizes, no pun intended, and regardless of what one group may think about a particular genre of movie or movies from one country, few groups can make a solid argument about movies in general, such as the feminists that are mentioned in other posts. (I know the movie industry is not the eroge industry, I am just using it to get my idea across) This is why I feel if eroge expanded and took root beyond their current niche, while they would receive great criticism like many have stated, I think they would be all the stronger for it. One of the most notable benefits, as well as potential disadvantage short term, would be the disappearance of the "unknown factor". People would be exposed to eroge much more than they are now and as the market expands new domestic companies could jump in and take advantage of potential profits. This would lead to more eroge that have not just japanese cultural origins but American, Austrian, South African, Brazilian, etc. These countries could then enforce their own laws and standards that would be specific to them. I feel that this would also give the current niche for eroge, which has more Japanese influences, an opportunity to grow as potential fans who simply do not know about eroge would now be exposed to it and could potentially like traditional eroge better than newer eroge from new domestic companies in their country. I have more but this is already a long post so I will stop this here for now so everyone can breath a sigh of relief as my long post is now finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seraphic 13 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yes, the VN as a medium has a lot of potential for development, especially when you consider that what we have translated is really only scraping the top of the barrel. There's so much more that could be done with it if more people were aware of its existence. Really, the biggest obstacle is that most of what gets translated/is popular is eroge, but I think that, with more interest in all-ages games, a transition could slowly be made. The release of Narcissu in English a few years ago generated a wave of awareness of VNs and was part of the inspiration of the developers of Katawa Shoujo, which, although it honestly isn't the best VN in the world, managed to capture the interest of a large number of fans outside of Japan and did a fairly decent job of introducing eroge in more approachable manner.

First of all it's MY post which means that it's MY opinion. And if I compare japanese culture/lifestyle with the western one then I want to cry. You're free to see it in a completely different light but don't call other opinions wrong just because you don't like them, mr yellow.
