...wow, uh. This has been a very emo day for me. I sort of buried myself in PSP for a few days, and now that I've come out on the other side, I'm very sad. .-.

To demonstrate how screwed up I am right now, let me show you what I translated, and now have playing almost nonstop:

When the greatest reality came to find us
It came it mock our simple existence
I am puzzled by the truth that slips through my fingers when I cover my ears
How am I supposed to stand with this frail body?

Uninstall uninstall
Right now, I can't understand
That I am just one of the countless specks of dust in all the world
Uninstall uninstall
I have no choice but to pretend
To be the soldier that knows no fear...uninstall

I feel as if our ignorance is sharpening itself
By the time we awaken to the shapeless presence under the bed
We will have no souls left...if we can't even choose the time in our lives
When the fury to break everything will quietly fade away...

Uninstall uninstall
If nobody could ever replace me
Then I want to be the one to end to those days
Uninstall uninstall
Where I just drifted along like everyone else
There's nothing wrong with that uninstall

Uninstall, uninstall
Right now, I can't understand
That I am just one of the countless specks of dust in all the world
Uninstall, uninstall
I have no choice but to pretend
To be the soldier that knows no fear...uninstall

The theme of youth ending prematurely is kind of hitting home today. =_=

Oh yes you can, and the emulator is actaully by Sony, for the PS3 store downloads. However the PC games you can play on your PSP are rather limited, since you need a port of the engine to PSP, so mostly they're just Key's stuff, things that run on ONScripter (Tsukihime, Higurashi etc), and Tsuyokiss, Yoake mae ruriirona, things like that. With custom firmware, you can always have the latest firmware number, so that problem conveniently goes away.

...D: I lean in Narugami's direction, and avoid stuff that causes max trauma (Saikano, Bokurano, Eva...) I also don't really like crying games, and yeah, hopeless stories w

After I cleared Utawarerumono it left me depressed for a week. That's ok, though, it's still one of my favourite games 爆

I've been meaning to ask you, actually - what are some good visual novels for PS2? I've tried a few demos on PC and most of them have kind of aggravated me because I'm not really a big fan of moe stereotypes like meganekko, tsundere, etc and main characters who have no personality...

Are there any where the main focus is on one girl instead of 12 or where the lead isn't some default guy? I've been thinking of watching the anime of Clannad when it comes out to see if it clicks with me. I'd like to try Realta Nua, too; Utawarerumono I'm not so sure about.

Oh and I like the text to have voiceover as much as possible so I can understand the main character's narration, too. ^^; Thanks!

Hm...

There're very few that only focus on one girl, usually there're two at least. I'm haven't been keeping track of what's been ported over to PS2 too so..

but! Realta Nua is good, as is Ayakashibito, and I'm sure they're on PS2. Clannad is more Key fare, so I'm not sure if you'll like that. Utawarerumono is ... an epic tale of war, betrayal, and more war, so if you like things like that you should enjoy it.

I think この青空に約束を is excellent too, but again that has six characters...

Personally I'm not a big fan of games like Shuffle! either, so. Main characters with no personality also make me fall asleep. I'm pretty sure you'd appreciate Utawarerumono's characters, actually.

Thanks for your advice :) Maybe I phrased it poorly. I don't mind a large cast but would prefer a story where you can tell the makers really put their hearts into it and it's not just "okay maids are popular these days, let's make them all tsundere catgirl robot maids" or something like that.

Or maybe I'm just expecting too much from the genre. OTL

I'll keep Ayakashibito and Kono Aozora in mind, though. :) And honestly I love the art for Utawarerumono, too..

[xephyris.livejournal.com]

You could play Tsukihime, although that's text heavy with zero voice...

And yeah, while that's one of the defining points of the genre (you can't really get away from it) the games I mentioned do have talented scenario writers. Also, if you can stomach it, Tsuyokiss has very good writing with strong characters as well (its selling point being the characters after all). I like Nitro+'s Urobuchi Gen too, but I'm not sure which of their games got ported to PS2 so.

Ah, then I'll leave the PC games alone. But...where do I get this PSX emulator? I did a search for PSX emulators for the PSP and I got mostly PSX-P. Izzat it? Could I just get it by looking at a Sony website?

I like stuff that makes me cry when I know it'll have a happy ending. Or stuff that makes me cry because it's happy. =_= Or, like, FFX...that was good. And I cried when I played that game. (Yuna! ;_;)

I was in a total funk when I translated a long and sad FMA doujinshi last fall. ...but it's not my favorite by far. >_>

[xephyris.livejournal.com]

The emulator is built into the PSP firmware, it's called Popstation - I can't remember how to get games to work on it but it's quite simple and shouldn't be a problem if you read the documentation.

Hot dog. Thank you again for all this help. T_T
