Well that was more or less what I was saying. Their bromance is stronger than whatever that was in the anime.

You, my friend, seem to have not played the Kappei route in Clannad 
Hinata is awesome okay ;_; even if he may or may not be the OTP, he is still utterly necessary for the story of Angel Beats as a whole.

Choo chooooooo!
Spiffed this topic up a good bit.
Not sure if anyone remembers what it looked like- But trust me, it looks better now.
Oh, and I guess it’s more up to date. Probably a bit important, huh…

ANGEL BEATS! IS GETTING A VISUAL NOVEL? Ohmygod thanks Biz.
I actually haven’t seen anything from Angel Beats! since this thread was started, so a catchup is actually nice. I have to sound sarcastic to be cool… sorry

On topic of LiSA-
Because Marina is GDM and LiSA is a bad fit for Yui~
Really though I think it’s because she’s more popular and harder to get…? I mean I really don’t know. I don’t recall her being listed in the list of people who wanted to work with Maeda again- However she’s in the Key Fes, isn’t she?
Aye, that she is. Will be in KSL 2015 apparently. shrugs
I might as well talk about this. I’m very much looking forward to the preorders starting this Friday.

It is being written by Jun Maeda, Kai (Clannad), and Leo Kashida (Mio in LB, Tomoyo After), and for the first time, Jun Maeda has full editing control.
[/quote] Thank Uguu for that. The only way for this story to work is if Maeda is able to tell everything he wants to. He wasn’t able to with the anime, so this should be his big chance. He’ll need all the help he can get.

New supporting characters are being made by NaGa- They will not, however, be present in the first volume.
[/quote] This is interesting. Considering how many characters were present in the anime, I’m surprised there’s still more. How big is this story, anyway? If it becomes anime Lord of the Rings, I don’t know if I could contain myself with all the epicness.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
It appears that the reader will be given 2 choices per day in common.
Readers will choose what area they go to and who they speak with via a ‘world map’ of sorts.
Each choice the reader makes will cause significant branching. No meaningless decisions.
[/quote] Field maps are nothing new to visual novels (Sakura Wars had them). But the rest of this really intrigues me. Kanon had at least three or four choices per day, but with a story this big, I can see why they would cut down the amount of choices.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
Perspective switches!
[/quote]I’m a bit skeptical about that. If it’s used sparingly, like in Kanon, it might work. Otherwise, it might hurt the focus of the story. I should know, I’ve tried it.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
When you complete a route, you cannot do it again.
[/quote]Bullcrap. What if I want to review it and make different choices to see everything? What if I miss a few CGs? Hopefully getting every route finished resets everything.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
New OP, “Heartily Song”, sung by Lia and written by Jun Maeda.
[/quote] I hope it’s as good as My Soul, Your Beats!, if not better. Why aren’t they using that song anyway? Does Aniplex own the rights or something?
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
The VN will be all ages.
[/quote] That is good. I don’t want to be caught off-guard by sexual CGs like what happened with Kanon.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
Otonashi will be voiced ONLY during the aforementioned perspective switches
[/quote]Hopefully they got the same seiyuu to do the role. What was his name again? Hiroshi Kamiya? Yeah, him.
[quote=“Bizkitdoh, post:1, topic:277”]
Routes will not all be romance, but it has been hinted that a male romance may be possible.
[/quote] Part of the reason why I play Key games is for my romance fix. If you take away that, I won’t complain, but I do start to question why I’m playing said novel in the first place. And I don’t like yaoi, so I pray it doesn’t happen. XP
And that’s all I have to compla-I mean, speculate about. Very much looking forward to this! :3
I’m sure it will. This is no different from LB or like how Rewrite you had to unlock routes. You must complete the VN to be able to go through routes again. Or just delete your save data. It’s… Interesting, to say the least~
For reasons I can’t explain- I absolutely ADORE perspective switching, and Maeda is REALLY good at it.
Out with the old, in with the new. Also it’s most likely going to be used as Kanade’s ED or insert song or something.
All voice actors are returning.

Worked perfectly in Little Busters!. It was one of my favorite parts.

[/quote]See above. And Route locking will most certainly be done for reasons that are intertwined with the story itself.

[/quote]Look man, I know you haven’t read LB! yet, but surely you’ve heard how amazing Key guys are. Like, better than most Key girls. The non-romance routes are one of things I’m most looking forward to in Angel Beats!

[/quote]I can only hope that the’ll throw Brave Song in there somewhere…
They also did it in Rewrite and it was good.
It’s Yuri’s ED.
Thats the only thing I can think of, but doesn’t that seem like a pretty sad and lonely song to end one of the final routes?
No, it’s confirmed to be her ED and that’s why they’re making a new one for the overall VN. lol

Set a save file during the route.

[/quote] I’m used to Kanon, so if this is common in modern Key works, then I guess it’s okay.

[/quote]Well, the male cast of Angel Beats! is quite likeable, I will give you that.

[/quote] Never thought of that. Thanks, man.
Okay, so maybe I’m being a little harsh to the game. I’m only making speculation based on the fact that I’ve played Kanon and only Kanon, so my knowledge of how Key does their visual novels nowadays is next to nonexistent. Forgive my ignorance. I only know so much. 
Yeah once you read Little Busters! you’ll be good and have a better understanding. It’s basically amazing.

I’m kind of frustrated that they have given absolutely no news as to where you can preorder it. I know for sure that Gamers in Akihabara has it (I’ve seen the posters in-store), but I don’t wanna go all the way to Akiba for it >_<
Hopefully they have it on Amazon like they usually do

Based Pepe.
I’m fairly certain there will be -somewhere- else you can order. There’s no way it’d only be in one place. VNs aren’t THAT dead, right?
Yeah I’m pretty confident as well that they will have it in other places. Just that they haven’t made any announcement whatsoever as to what other places those are
