Actually I'm curious.

I haven't watched the anime yet myself. Will I need to in order to understand this VN or no? 0_0

No you'll spoil yourself on everything aside from the alt routes going through the anime. It's also less detailed so you're getting a watered down version of the story there.

I havent watched the anime or played much of the VN, but I do know they tell the same basic story. But I assume the anime is the "true end" of the VN.

Danganronpa, XBlaze, Steins;Gate, Tokyo Twilight, Hatofu Boyfriend, Virtue's Last Reward, Sekai Project upcoming titles. The Vita is the ultimate visual novel platform.

The VN came first

VN is the source material. Watching anime not required.

Oh. Good beans then! :D

This has actually made me very pleasantly surprised.Really enjoyed the anime

Hopefully opens the door for the likes of Higurashi and Umineko if it does well!

Have I blown it by watching the anime first? It's been a while so I forget the details, but are the other routes similar enough that I'll have a worse off time or are they different enough to still be enjoyable?

Probably a dumb question considering visual novels generally have completely different stories for their routes, but the "aw naw breh anime is a no go" posts here have me worrying.
We getting retail, right RIGHT?!
Pleeeeeeeeeease retail for Europe too. My card can't handle any more digital. :(
 
I'm still in shock.. i don't even know what to say. Even with the hints the company was throwing, i'm still in completely surprised
 
Finally :D. I hope it's retail too. And they manage to put the PC version on Steam as well.

Yeah, although I'm very happy with the SE I got for the PC version, I hope they do get the Steam issues sorted eventually. There's definitely a big audience for the game there, and success of Steins;Gate on Steam could really open the floodgates for VN localizations on the platform.

Awesome news! But...can someone explain why theres a lot of happy people here?
I havent been up to date about this game, no idea what its about. As someone who watched the anime though, I'm very interested in this, and of course as a Vita owner, I'm even more interested.
