Live long the queen and um Magick Diary are two I can think of, there was one sona le something, where the MC was in love with a monster but saw it as a beautiful girl (and everything else looked horrible to him) think that was a visual novel as well. Saya no Uta. Haha. It's definitely an experience, but it's not for prudes or the fainthearted. As for what qualifies as a VN; It's becoming a pretty annoying trend in gaming genres that everything that isn't a blatant copy-paste of a 30 year old game gets dubbed by purists as not fitting in a genre. Danganronpa is a VN. Plenty of "Rogue-likes" are just as good, or better, than Rogue was, and lots of games that aren't copy-paste of Wizardry back in the early '90s can still be a DRPG, et cetera. I generally look at what the game's main point is to determine what genre it is, and what most to compare it to. Like Danganronpa, or even Utawarerumono, qualify as VN, because that's the main point of the game. Sure, there's some puzzle or RPG elements in there, but they aren't the main point of the game, and take a back seat to the VN portions. Obviously, that's just my opinion, but it makes the most logical sense to me. --- I feel a draft on my butt... ... Copied to Clipboard! |
