Tomoyo After and Little Busters to be Officially Released in English!

My ideal would be if they had both a console version and a Vita and a Vita version with cross play so I could bounce back and forth. I am excited regardless, just might really need to reconsider moving my desktop computer to a room where I can get at it more.

Gosh, I’ve been waiting for a full translation of LB for years! I read a few routes way back when it was first translated, but stopped there because I knew the routes were ā€˜improved’ in the EX version and thought that we would get a full translation of that soon. Now I think it’s been four years :sweat_smile:

I remember I just loved the whole atmosphere, it was a really fun group. The common route had a unique quirkiness that I really enjoyed.

As for Tomoyo After, I’ve never really even been curious about this game tbh. I have nothing against the character, she just doesn’t charm me in the way that she seems to charm other readers, and I thought her route in Clannad was pretty weak. But I’m glad it’s getting an official English release as well, obviously the chances are she’ll have a much stronger storyline this time, I’ll definitely check it out.

It is a crime to start Little Busters! and not finish it!
Glad you have a reason to finish it now tho.
Just as an aside, the routes weren’t actually ā€œimprovedā€ in EX (in fact, most would say they were got worse for, uh, awkward reasons). The 3 routes that were added are amazing, indeed, but you have to read all of the original routes before you can read those anyways.

As for Tomoyo After, I would say that it doesnt matter whether or not you liked her in CLANNAD, because thats how great the VN is. I know there arent as many people who have read it to back me up on this, but most people who have will tell you its amazing.

They did get some scenes and details added to them, and I don’t mean those.

Heck yes. Tomoyo After is wonderful.

I haven’t finished it yet but I can back this up. So far I’m loving it

Only modern-ish Key VN you’ll hear me praise without being like ā€œbut it had more negatives than positives.ā€

Really? I guess I wouldnt know since I never went through and compared them ^^;. But now that you mention it, I guess that makes sense. I remember a couple scenes (even a couple choices) that wouldnt have made any sense in vanilla.

Would love to get my hands on some physical copies if they ever release them.

I’M JUST WAITING FOR THE FULL TRANSLATION OKAY :sob:

Yeah I have no doubt it’ll be good, I’ve only heard positive things about it. I’ve just never managed to psyche myself up over it, but I have no prejudice over the character, I’m sure I’ll be totally sucked in as soon as I actually start reading.

Oh how I would like a physical edition release. That’s why I like kickstarters.

I never thought this would ever actually happen. With Clannad coming out soon and the Rewrite anime after that, and now this… The hype train isn’t stopping anytime soon!
