Angel Beats! - Visual Novel Details & Ongoing Speculation

The delay is unfortunate… but we knew they had a lot on their plate. I’d rather purchase a bug-free game than a buggy one, even if a patch would otherwise be released. At least the delay is much shorter than those for prior Key releases!

And now, my ISP block Key’s website. Great, just great. -_-

Are there any other information there? Please summarize for me.

internet positif? =.=
curse them.

delay, huh…
oh well. If that’s what it takes to turn AB into the greatest KEY VN ever, then I’ll wait~

Tch! One more month. Then again, May was a complicated month for imports >.<

Yup. It doesn’t appear in the listing anymore. Then again, I still have the preorder in line

You know what else I noticed in the OP- None of the other ‘pulses’ or ripples give this effect. Only the very last one, the one after not-Hatsune.

INTERESTING.

Well, the delay works out for me actually. I can properly budget a preorder of AB!-1st- now, heheh. :slight_smile:

(The waiting part is still unfortunate though.)

I can finally be an official lolicon in a Key VN. Best vn ever

About the [Trial Edition][1], will it available for download or limited physical event-only disc?

No announcement yet; I didn’t really follow if they released Rewrite’s trial version online, so I can’t base it off of what they did in the past x.x Maybe somebody else knows?

They indeed released Rewrite’s trial version online, but I didn’t know if that’s from day one. Didn’t pay attention back then.

Few more CGs and dialogues.

Edit: 4gamer ver has more variations.

So in addition to them posting a lot of CGI online, they also posted a ton of pictures on their twitter.







and my all time favorite out of all these ones

SHIRTLESS HINATA, OOH BABY. Other than that, there are A LOT OF dialogue options, and if they all do have their own independent routes and impact to the story, that would be waaay too awesome.

Oh man. Brilliant. Every time I think “There can’t be even more CGs for that scene” or “I can’t get even more hype for this”, they give just a bit more. And its amazing. Thanks a bunch, @Zak89 and @Shadowhammers!

Btw, @Bizkitdoh, I think that silhouette from the OP that you posted looks to me like just Kanade playing the piano

Ooh yeah, Yui is one lucky girl ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But yeah, all these gameplay screenshots really make me think there was a problem not with the game itself, but perhapse the printing of one of the limited edition items that they planned to include, hmm.

No I’m talking about the effect of the ripple. It’s digital and blue and stuff instead of just being a ripple.

So is there a point when you just cannot play the game anymore?

I would imagine that the routes unlock again once you finish all the routes.

I’ve played the trial edition, and it’s a bit weird as there are some choices that are greyed-out.

One example is that, on the second day, you cannot reach the Guild (because you end up falling when you try to climb Yuri). At first, I thought it was because it was the trial version, and they locked some scenes, but I suddenly remembered that, as they were approaching the guild, Yuri starting telling Otonashi about her past.

As such, I have a feeling that reaching the guild on the second day might be Yuri-route content, which we won’t see until future beats.
