Little Busters! - General Discussion

Ooops next to Kud, its pretty obvious, your right. Her eyes were just so big that I just kindaa guessed she was Hinoue and moved on lol

I started some time ago Little Busters, the feelings I have while playing is really different from the one I had with Rewrite. The pace seems a little slower and more nostalgic.

But I have some questions about the Perfect Edition which mus be officially released in english :

  • does Ectasy have its own common route ?

  • in a video, I saw a battle between Kanata and Midori who had both a rank above of 10. Did Kyousuke begin a warrior regime in the school ? or more seriously, how a stubborn prefect and an imaginary girl can fight together ?

  • I also saw Key seems proud of its past with the presence of sex scenes of the Extasy version but where the majority of the scene is replaced by a flower picture. Anyone know why they did not simply remove all? Does this is also the case with Sasami, Kanata and the other heroines ?

  • I also read the routes of Kud and Haruka received changes. Does it bring many changes in their story ? or it is simply additional scenes (for example, to complete the route of Haruka with the story of Kanata).

Thank you.

The EX common route is the regular one with some additions related to the new heroines. I think there are also some other changes like more Kyousuke’s 1 question 1 answer (?)

As far as I’m aware that can’t actually happen. There are a lot of videos out there where people have modded the battle system to add extra characters, so it might just be that.

Not really sure for the other two questions.

I guess because its much more simple to just do that then try to go back and merge EX and vanilla?

I have never even heard of that fact o_O I always thought that PE reverted the sex scenes in EX to be similar to the non-H version of the original LB… Does anyone have any pictures of the afforementioned flower?

Thank you for the response !

For the pictures, here is the start of the scene with Saya and the CG which replaces the rest of the scene.

Nevertheless, I think it is fairly expressive of what is happening.
Edit : For the people who trouble displaying the picture. here is the first and the second.

I see… I wonder if that is only in the EX routes, hm.

If anything that actually makes me a bit more excited to read them in PE, just to see how they handle it

Nah. This is one of the outcomes of the H-Scene joke Key had going on. The original scenes weren’t serious, so their censorship of it wasn’t either.

Staying on the same type of subject, I have a question about the Extasy version. [spoiler]Looking the CG of Little Busters, I saw in the h-scene of Kanata, her eyes seems to change several time of color, alternating between gold and blue.

If it was a bad end of kanata, this could be explained with Kanata posing for Haruka, even if it would be pretty awful even for a h-scene. But here, she doesn’t need to do a twin switch. [/spoiler]

(Haruka route spoilers) I’m unsure, but I think this H scene actually takes place during Haruka’s new bad end. I remember playing the Converted Edition on the PS3 and from the little Japanese I understood it felt like it was leading up to exactly this scene. Obviously the CE is all ages so I can’t say for sure, but if you remember the original Haruka bad end it also had Kanata posing as Haruka (and the bad end in CE is triggered the same way) so it would fit.

I thought about it but the background of CG seems be a nurse like with the other pictures of Kanata and she has no hairpin, unlike Haruka.

Refrain and EX Bluray boxset confirmed!

I found a blog where someone took time to translate the Short Stories of Little Busters :

He also plans to translate the light novel Official Another Story Rewrite : Ha Yure Sasayaku Shoukei de. A official short story collection written by the writers of Rewrite with 9 stories and each is for a certain character : Kotarou, Kotori, Chihaya, Lucia, Shizuru, Akane, Sakuya, Kagari and Yoshino.

Yes Little Busters! doesn’t really have a canon otp like other Key works, but I always though Rin was considered LB’s main girl. Like, she clearly stands at least a peg above the other characters with her being a childhood friend of Riki and the only girl that isn’t recruited over the course of the story, being the only girl not directly involved with the secret of the world, having 2 routes (Rin and Rin2), and in general going through character development similar to Riki’s (although much more watered down). She is also a the only girl that plays a role in the other character routes and in general is treated very similar to Riki from a storytelling perspective. Riki and Rin don’t necessarily end up together but I don’t think being on the protagonist’s dick is a prerequisite to being a main girl.

Well the point that I was making is that despite, as you say, Rin being a notch above the rest in terms of importance, Refrain isn’t really all that much about Rin and is more about the main gang of Riki, Rin, Kyousuke, Kengo and Masato.

In the same vein, I theorize that the ending of the Angel Beats VNs will not be only about Kanade but perhaps the entire cast or maybe the entire world.

So it’s arguable what people mean by “main girl” but for me I think it means that if the final part of the story is focused on her, then she becomes the main girl, which I don’t think to be the case in Little Busters. The protag and the girl getting together have nothing to do with it (other series key spoilers)much is like the case with AIR where Misuzu is the main girl, but she and Yukito definitely do not end up together.

Sentai picked up EX
Looks like the whole thing is probably being dubbed… (As much as I don’t like the dub)

Do we have confirmation that it will be dubbed? Obviously Id say its a pretty safe assumption, but I dont see anything explicitly mentioning a dub.

I’m replying it too late, and you might already know the answer, but that CG belongs to Kanata’s route in Little Busters! EX.

I have the chance to see the manga version of Little Busters Extasy, illustrated by Zen. It is a little different of the anime, with much more of romantic element for Kanata and Sasami and it’s a pity that several scenes have been removed to be contained in two episodes.

Zen seems enough good to make his drawings and the characters alive.

I read the High School Revolution manga, and it was a really good adaptation of Saya’s route. Much more loyal than the anime, anyway.
