Well, I get crashes while reading it normally at least.

... Seriously? It actually works well for you? That's awesome then! Errr, I just tested it again and it actually crashed at a slightly later point than usual. Not sure what that is all about. Usually it crashes after the "... snow?" line for me. Now it crashed 15 lines later or so. This is in the first minute or two of the VN. Edit: And now I got a little bit further after about 5 tries! Got to the part with the dark haired girl opening the front door of the old residence.

Ja! Das ist correct. Maria Holic.

Aaaaand I couldn't find a working link for it either myself... Well, I did find one "version" of it on /rs/ 4chan, but it crashes early on: Kira -Snowdrop-.rar Guess you could check it out at least, but it'll probably crash for you as well. onscripter-en.exe starts it. Sorry. "[KiraSetup[Haeleth][AT2005].exe" is what we need, but there's no working direct download links for it and no seeders on the torrents for it. There's probably some other installers/packages with different names as well, but I haven't found any workings links for a proper *English PC* version of the VN in any case.

Nein! Not correct.

And another (because why not!):

Dracu-riot...! Sumiuka...! Nooooooooo! Oh well, he'll get back to it. Other than that though, nice progress and stuff in general. Rewrite, Grisaia, FHA, Majikoi S, and so on. Good to see that Flyable Heart is getting a proper translation, yes. It'll actually be worth a read at some point now! Also, Princess Maker 5... could be fun when that gets completed. The second one was pretty cool. And me wants Moero 3! I might end up just buying it myself soon, so that Ivan can finally put it up on this site.

Ah right, no need to worry about the choices in Alternative. Their purpose is basically just to change the dialogue a bit sometimes. It's a linear story, yes. Don't expect any major differences from the choices you make. That said... If there is a girl you like more than the rest, then I'd advice you to pick whatever choices along the way that has to do with her at least. We'll just leave it at that. But again, don't worry about it too much. You won't miss anything really important by picking one choice over the other.

Very good that you're moving on with Alternative now, and that you're interested in the main story. You want answers and closure? Great, Alternative will give that to you, and much more. Again, it is Alternative that is the really amazing VN here. Muv-Luv is the board being set up, while Muv-Luv Alternative is the game being played. It is the main story that you're speaking of that truly matters here. It'll be continued in Alternative, in a highly entertaining fashion. Expect many memorable moments to occur. Enjoy!

Hello! This place feels lonely... and that's not good at all! I absolutely adore Ever17. It's a visual novel that everyone must read. No exceptions. I doubt I'll ever get to experience a better mystery VN than this one myself. It was that good for me. 10/10! But I didn't want to make this post just to tell you the above. No, I wanted to share with you some very cool patches for Ever17 that you might not be aware of. Kudos to desi for letting me know about them. And yes, I can confirm that the patches are working. It's awesome stuff, especially for someone who wants to re-read this VN. Oh, and I decided to upload them to mediafire/sendspace since the torrents can be slow at times. Choose whichever download method you prefer. Enjoy! Ever17 Xbox360 BGM Patch Torrent Mediafire This patch replaces the original PC music with the Xbox360 music. Yes, there is an untranslated Xbox360 remake of Ever17. With this patch you can now read the PC version with the music from that Xbox360 version. Please note that you may still end up preferring some/many/all of the PC songs over the Xbox360 ones. It'll come down to personal taste. Either way, it's very nice to have the option of using this patch at least. It's especially good for those of us who might want to re-read this VN at some point, as I mentioned before. Put the "bgm.dat" file in the main folder of Ever17. Remember to first make a backup of the original bgm.dat file, or rename it. That way you can easily switch back to the original PC music whenever you feel like doing so. Ever17 Voice+SFX Patch Torrent Mediafire: part 1 - part 2 - part 3 - part 4 - part 5 - part 6 This patch gives you the higher quality voices and sound effects from the PS2 version of Ever17. It makes it sound better in general, so just get it! The installer actually only consists of two files, "voice.dat" and "se.dat". If you want, you can just make it install to the desktop, and then put those two files yourself in the main folder of Ever17. You might want to make backups of the original voice.dat and se.dat files, or rename them. Just in case.

^ Pleeeease spoiler tag some of that, DarkSin. But yes, it's a great VN alright, in several ways. It's something very different from the usual, which is certainly commendable. Damn... There are more posts in this thread that needs spoiler tagging as well.

Flyable Heart

Giniro HCG That's only HCG though... but maybe that's all you were interested in anyway. You're welcome!

Hah, yea, understandable iLT. It does have some of those great tags to it (Mystery, Trapped, etc.) Well, it'll be read someday...

Nope, have not ulti. It looks pretty good though on VNDB.

Ah, well, that does make sense. As for Divi-Dead... Mmm yes, someday (like everything else!). Since it's a mystery VN, it'll happen at some point for sure.

HHHHHGGGGNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnnn... *overloads from moe* [spoiler=EP10]Wow! Just what I like to see - serious moments. Emotional drama! Romance! It's going to get even more heavy in the last two episodes. AWESOME. Tears will be shed no doubt, with Rikka's mother coming into the picture. Rikka is soooooooooooooo ultra kawaii. LOVE! http://i.imgur.com/KyVUd.jpg Oh, and this face of Nibutani is delicious: http://i.imgur.com/S8Gp1.jpg I'm curious if there'll be something really sweet with Isshiki and Kumin-senpai in the next episodes... I hope so! Des! "Just the pinky." *overloads again from massive loveydovey moe*

Gooooooooood! I like this series, even though it's not incredible or anything. It'll be nice to play this third title.

Thank you all very much! Glad you seemed to like my wall of text ^^;

You'll probably enjoy Ayamine's route a fair bit. Well, even though you didn't like those two main routes, Extra is not what's amazing about the Muv-Luv series anyway. At all. It's there for character introductions, more or less. You can expect things to be different later, yes. You'll most definitely love the characters of Sumika (DMP) and Meiya, as well as many others, at the end of your long journey... Muv-Luv Alternative is that good. Have fun... Goddamnit, I want to read it for the first time as well! The memory of that unbelievable experience is still lingering in my mind. Starting with Muv-Luv Extra, with all its normal school life stuff... not being aware of just how incredible the story is going to get later on - yet still knowing that Muv-Luv Alternative is the highest rated title on VNDB. And yes, I can assure you that it deserves to be #1.

Des, that's right. Maki!

Weeeeell, guess I'll just do another one: http://i.imgur.com/L5IIG.jpg
