Little Busters! - General Discussion

I just started Little Busters and I have a quick question: would you guys advise me to use a walkthrough? I used the walkthrough for Clannad and didn’t regret doing so (and it was very necessery), wondering if the same applies here. I’m kinda assuming it does, but it would be nice to have that confirmed.

I used a walkthrough. and I did not regret it either. I’m too scared to do something stupid in games. lol. in steam has a walkthrough to the game. in little busters I used two walkthroughs. one that was in steam and another that has description of the accessorys.

Haha yeah I wouldn’t want to mess something up, and I imagine Little Busters isn’t exactly a straightforward VN. Thanks for the links! I think I saw the steam walkthrough when looking around before but the other one definitely seems helpful as well.

Well LB is my least favorite Key VN, id guess because [Refrain spoilers] the majority of the VN takes place within the dream world EX changes this a little, so it has improved my enjoyment of it a fair bit.

Yes Rewrite+ in english please :pray:

As @JmTrad mentioned we have our own guide on steam, i can confirm its quality :+1:

I’d like to start Little Busters! sometime in the future, but I was curious if there’s any particular recommended route order before I begin in earnest. I know there was a walkthrough for the fan TL, but would that still be compatible (so to speak) with the Steam release? Any and all clarification is appreciated!

We actually have a current bookclub for Little Busters with the route order listed in here. The corresponding walkthrough is in the reply right above yours. For each route we do a podcast. Currently the most recent posted podcast was Kurugaya but Haruka and Kud are in the editing process right now.

Oh, my bad! Thanks for the pointers. >< I’ll get better about carefully reading the posts before mine for clarification.

Mio is a wildcard and can go anywhere, so we put her at the start for something different, but I know a lot of people prefer to put Komari first. Other than that I will defend our route order~ Kud being last felt very good imo.

Well, I would say LB is my favourite Key VN…just behind Rewrite and Clannad.
I guess I just relate to it more, especially to Haruka’s route, because I know what its like to be treated badly and to be ostracized by people (I was bullied and isolated a lot when I was in school, not really having any friends).
So yeah, LB will always be my favourite Key VN. :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this was ever posted here or not? Either way it needs to be immortalised. @Kanon’s Riki hairsniff tally.

Why is it that 90% of those lines seem to be from Shirokiri routes :nonono:

Here’s a quick chart I did of the LB route ratings here! Why are Kud and Sasami so low :uee:

Why is Rin’s route so high up and Sasami’s one so low down? Rin’s route is by far the worst in LB, especially the first one. Of course, it’s my opinion, but still

A lot of the results are surprising to me too, but Rin isn’t exactly high, she’s right in the middle.

Why I’m not surprised about the good results for the stories of harka and Kanata ?

i’m surprised many people liked rin’s routes. i always thought her routes were supposed to be bad due to the fact that they’re showing how childish and immature she still is, to lead up to refrain (well, the middle and ending parts of refrain) finally having her show a more mature, independent attitude? rin is my best girl but i would never reread her routes just for fun… only to analyze.

To me, her being in the middle still is way too high. Even Kud’s route seems better to me despite all the naive nonsense pushed there.

I get what you mean, it kind of goes along with why I didn’t like Rin1 much when I read it. But the thing about the Rin routes is they’re really not the end of the story since they lead into refrain, and you kind of have to evaluate her character development in terms of that.

So a thought that was stewing around for a while since there is a lot in LB! I haven’t read and probably don’t want to since there could be some clues and/or spoilers about, but how did the ratings chart actually come to be anyway? Is it just a Kaza collection of opinions and thoughts?

I’m not far enough reading the VN to have any useful opinions on anything, but it gives an impression that Rin2 is better than Rin1 at least. Ratings don’t mean much of anything, but it still different than what was expected, even looking at it with fresh eyes.

Any one know where I can find a Busterpedia guide?
