Steins;Gate

Nice to see how the translation is progressing. After enjoying the anime can wait patiently for the editing. Will be nice to experience the series in it's original format.

Hoho, the Chinese patch is only up till the first three chapters, though I would imagine that they were edited already... But still, this is the first time I see an English translation faster than the Chinese ones.

One thing I'm curious about. How do the "routes" work? Is it like in Chaos;Head where it's basically the same (or at least that is how it appears by reading a walk through, I haven't finished the game yet.) except for just a few choices effect the ending? Or is it different?

No spoilers please. I'm just curious as to how it works.

From what I've heard it's closer to Ever 17 kind of play style, except that the hints are more subtle (Like Chaoshead, I swear I never notice the green/red lighting on my first playthrough. With a walkthrough). I haven't played it mainly because I'm waiting for a translation, and that the game was crazy unstable when it first came out. Super bad when you try with AGTH.

The choices work in the form of replying to text messages or calling the characters at certain points. Some text messages are route deciding choices, while others are just for entertainment.

The choices in text messages appear as blue hyperlinks in the messages you receive.
By selecting one of the hyperlinks you decide how or what topic you respond to.

Answering/ignoring phone calls can also be a choice.

Sounds quite cool. I noticed from the anime, that cell phones and text messages are a big part of the story. I guess I see why now. One final question, is there the equivalent of routes for, say, Kurisu and Mayuri for example? Again, going by what I know of Chaos;Head I'm assuming not.

There's no "individual" routes. It's mostly linear with direct branches to character ends. I'm just going to say it now, any ending besides the True Ending is a happy bitter end.

And, I'll say now that that does not sound like a bad thing. I'm more interested in how well done the ending is than whether it is happy or sad or bittersweet.

Well the non-True Endings are all right, but they are mostly depressing and won't really leave you with any sort of satisfaction. Well not on the same level as the True End will anyway

I'll just have to play it and see. I'm betting the anime series covers the true end, though.

Technically it covers Kurisu End and the True End.
Since The requirements to get the True end in the VN is to get Kurisu's End.

There are more questions I want to ask but I'll refrain for now for fear of indirectly spoiling both the anime (which is excellent so far) and the VN. Thanks for all the answers up until now everyone.

there is some walkthrough for this game?

Unedited translation, and instalation instructions from an anon in /jp/


I woke up and there's no S;G thread in sight. Let's fix that.

Game : Buy it or Google.
Official 1.20 update : http://www.nitroplus.co.jp/support/sp20/201009171745.php
1.20 patch is the first link on this page, it runs fine on my comp. The second link is 1.20a, try it if you have a low-spec PC and run into crashes with 1.20.

Unedited (100%, not including tips) translation patch : http://www.mediafire.com/?3lx4bm311zedr1v
Translated movies : http://www.mediafire.com/?pkqkq1q9ymkw6ap
Translated menus : http://www.mediafire.com/?5sj2l8cek9915


Install instructions (hopefully that'll prevent 150+ posts from people getting crashes, like in last thread) :
Please follow the steps in ORDER.
1. Set your Windows locale to japanese. Applocale doesn't work properly afaik.
2. Install the game from your DVD / ISO.
3. Run the official 1.20 update.
4. Launch the game. It should display 1.20 in the titlebar, now close it. If it doesn't, you did it wrong (probably your S;G folder being write-protected).
5. Now copy paste the translated files to your S;G folder : nss.npa, STEINSGATE-patched.exe, cg.npa, and the "dx" folder containing the TLed movies. Backup the original files before overwriting them if you want to.
6. Launch the game. It works !
