>>4447263 (OP)
ATTENTION: For the sake of updating the yuri game recommendation link in the OP I would ask everyone to suggest games that are suited for newcomers (whether new to gaming or to yuri!).
Please look at the Invitation pic in this post to be clear about the rules and the tags. This is not a vote per se, but rather a chance to nominate your games and make a case for them. Of course if many anons agree on the same games they will have a better chance of getting in, but numbers are not the main criteria.
To be clear, I'm confident I could make this list by myself, but I want the community's input.

The new recommendation list will be added next thread and the CG link will be deleted by then too, as it serves no particular purpose. If you want to save it for yourself, this thread is your chance. Although there is always the archives anyway.

>>4447266
Signalis (puzzle/mystery)
Little Goody Two Shoes (puzzle/mystery)

Both horror. I'd add SeaBed on accounts of it being pretty unique in yuri but I don't know about being beginner friendly.

>>4447272
Signalis can definitely get the gamer audience (especially those who prefer oldschool stuff).
LGTS is... a bit more niche. I think the many het bad endings would repel yuri fans and the gameplay being kinda clunky and annoying might also be hard on beginners.
Seabed is definitely very overwhelming and also a bit outdated as a VN, but it is a classic and might appeal to the older tragic yuri nee-sans.

>>4447266
Samurai of Hyuga series (CYOA, Selectable Protagonist Gender, Selectable Sexuality). Epic weeb fantasy with multiple romance options (though most will go for the crazy ex anyway). I don't know if it will ever finish at this pace though...

Added a small notice about Fate Extra's remake linking to Fandom wiki

>>4447304
Is it still on Book 4 side-stories?

>>4447306
I saw that, although I don't quite understand the point. Guess we could add it to the FAQ in case people are confused about what Extra Record is.

>>4447308
Book 5 came out 2022 and Book 6 seems to be coming next year.

>>4447310
Any news on when the author wants to end it?

>>4447263 (OP)
For the record, I ended up updating the mainstream games chart in the mediafire link. Depsite these last 3 years being good for /u/s it was less work than I expected, so I'll keep updating it for the foreseeable future.

I've reorganised the games into 3 categories roughly based on origin/budget/aesthetic and then ordered them by release date, which makes more sense than whatever I was trying to do before. I've also started dropping games that were borderline, and next update will likely see more drops. There's going to be a bit of recency bias here, with old games more likely to get cut than newer ones.

I'm definitely giving up on the indie games chart though. Just looking at the amount of games on Hella Yuri scares me.

>>4447430
That is a fortunate change of heart you had there. Thank your for your continued efforts then.
I aslo don't really understand your criteria, as most yuri games are indie by default, but in conjunction with the new recommendation list we might cover all blind spots soon.

>>4447266
Crymachina (Action). It's not too hard for prople new to action games and its plot is interesting even if you are new to yuri, so the gay interactions are more of an enhancement.

There are 211 toxic yuri game jam entries
>https://itch.io/jam/toxic-yuri-vn-jam/entries

Now I must filter out the trans ones and find the highest quality entries.

>>4447503
The ebihime one is probably the best you'll get.

>>4447505
I like the look of this
https://kazehai.itch.io/ten-metre-tide

>>4447508
Play it and get back to us

>>4447266
Samurai Maiden, definitely for gaming newcomers. Due to the ending, probably not recommended for yuri newcomers since I imagine it'd be a frustrating experience for one of your first yuri games.

>>4447514
I suppose the existence of easy mode means the gameplay can be as accessible as you need it to be.
>I imagine it'd be a frustrating experience for one of your first yuri games
Ah yes, veterans are used to the feeling of open/unsatisfying endings in yuri works.

>>4447514

looks peak

>>4447430
>Kotor
>plausible deniability
Might I ask for an explanation to this tag? I don't think Juhani's romance has plausible deniability. Unless you consider it being bugged some kind of meta-narrative.

>>4447430
(should probably have waited until I got through it all)
>Fate/Extra CCC
You forgot to add that there is a fan translation patch. It only says "no English version" right now.
>Maryskelter Finale
You forgot to add the "unavoidable het" tag. You can't even get to the yuri in that game without having to go through het romance first.

>>4447430
>Just looking at the amount of games on Hella Yuri scares me
No point in relisting what's already there. Unfortunately steam won't allow you to filter the list properly (why? they HAVE the tools they just won't let players use them) otherwise you could try to get specific non-VN game types

Fuck there were so many cute moments between these two but the ending had to ruin it with this hug of friendship then the MC had to go on a journey to open up possibility for a sequel cop out.

>>4447512
It's pretty good. Pretty much a doomed relationship crumbling from the passage of time and their situations so don't expect any happy romance. Also cheating from both sides. Really like the aesthetic. Would recommend.

>>4447681
Sounds like shit.

>>4447266
Kindred Spirits on the Roof (visual novel, gaming newcomers, yuri newcomers).
Lilycle Rainbow Stage!!! (visual novel, gaming newcomers, yuri newcomers)
Please Be Happy (visual novel, gaming newcomers, yuri newcomers)

All of these are great yuri focused stories without any bullshit. Good for yuri fans who aren't into complicated gameplay and are used to substantial narratives from manga or LNs. But also good entries into yuri in general imo, due to quality.

FLOWERS series (visual novels)

Unlike the others this is definitely a series for yuri fans only. I don't think a newcomer to yuri would quite get what makes these great. They do unfortunately have those annoying detective segments that require leaps of logic, but I guess you can always recommend guides.

>>4447681
Sounds good

Is there a throuple VN?

>>4447749
Have you ever heard of Lilium TRIANGLE? Might be a good place to start.

>>4447264
>/u/ anon announced a retranslation of Lady in Mystery
Really? I thought the translation was alright. That's cool though.

>>4447266
Jishogi?
VN/Puzzle/Multiple Endings

RPGMaker but graphic is nice. About a girl crushing on her straight bully/friend. Unlike LGTS there are no het endings. Not sure how newcomer friendly it is.

>>4447800
Ok.
But is the bully actually straight? Having no het ending doesnt matter if there is no yuri ending.

>>4447800
There are multiple yuri endings of various degree including:


- Bully agrees to be brainwashed into being gay
- Bully is forcebly brainwashed into being gay and becomes yandere
- Bully is blackmailed into sex for years
- MC and bully leave dreamscape on the best term possible with a hint that they may enter relationship later

Not to mention that all the male characters are like parents and teachers.

>>4447803
Fuck, somehow replied to self, suman.

>>4447800
fuck, wish I had known about this when the sale was still going on.

>>4447266
Nights of Azure 1 and 2 are simple, breezy, action rpgs that can be play very casually.

>>4447805
This stuff sounds pretty terrible all around. Definitely not worth recommending to newcomers... or even 90% of normal /u/ anons.

>>4447822
>or even 90% of normal /u/ anons
Where do you think we are?

>>4447831
I know there are the really disturbed ones here who love brainwashing and raping het women etc, but when making a recommendation list you first assume to deal with normal mentally stable people.
Chances are that anyone with such twisted desires will take anything anyway.

>>4447810
Just to bad about that eternal cliffhanger ending. At least it's tradition to wait and suffer for NoA3. Better break newbies in early.

>>4447835
Brainwashing and raping het women no, but converting them? Yes.

>>4447846
You know that you cant convert people's sexuality. And the anon explicitely said it was brainwashing and years of unconsensual sex. Really no room for deflections.

>>4447859
It's also not real.

>>4447859
>you cant convert people's sexuality
Not with that attitude!

>>4447861
I'm just saying what it is dumbo. And any real /u/ anon wouldnt take that topic lightly because it keeps getting used against lesbians.

>>4447266
Yuri universesity ? idk
>>4447302
LGTS there are het endings ? holy shit now i feel like i wasted my steam money thank god i bought it via selling steam chests.

>>4447302
I normally wouldn't mind het as long as it's a bad ending that could just be avoided, but I heard LGTS' connects to a previous game which would make it canon even if it's a **bad** end.

>>4447898
Pretty much, het bad ending for femMC in LGTS made the daughter MC in Pocket Mirror game possible, that game was released first since LGTS is basically it's prequel of what if scenario.

>>4447899
Welp it decided then LGTS is gonna remain in my library forever without being turned on.
Making a het ending in a yuri game more canon then the yuri ending is wild and a brain dead choice.
This comment now radicalized me into being a hater

>>4447900
>LGTS schizo at it again
It never ends!

>>4447901
True it is a bit repetitive to say all the same thing over and over again where everyone can just check on Wikia what is true before buying it than asking here and then just connect the dots about it.

>>4447902
It doesn't matter, the game can be treated as a stand alone, we go through this every thread

>>4447903
>we go through this every thread
Learn to report and ignore the ESL samefag instead of replying to him every time and we won't have to.

>>4447859
Gonna have to try harder.

>>4447901
>>4447902
>>4447903
>>4447904
Im a new schizo as i said in the comment that just now found out.
Im not about to reserach lore and story of every game i buy.
When i buy a yuri game i expect a yuri game not a prequel to a bad het ending of a writers thinly disguised fetish.
I could have spend this money on some actaul yuri game instead of all this.
How can you even interact with the fandom knowing a bad het ending not only is canon but its also one of the more popular games that seems to toxic

>>4447544
>>4447542
>Fate/Extra CCC
Done.
>Mary Skelter Finale
I just dropped it altogether and replaced it with a note.
>KotOR
I don't remember. I think my reasoning was that I couldn't find any confirmation that the state of the Juhani romance was due to a bug rather than deliberately removed content. It was 2003 and it was Star Wars, so the devs getting an order from up top would not have been surprising.

>>4447477
This list definitely caters to my own taste in yuri and video games. Even back when I first started I intended to use it as my own reference sheet.

>>4447909
>Im a new schizo
This is not so something to aspire to...
>actaul yuri
It is actual yuri retard
>more popular games that seems to toxic
LGTS is easily more popular

>>4447909
I'm a schizo too, though I don't really hate the game, I just don't think it's very good, but that's usually enough to brand someone 'the LGTS schizo' for some reason.

>>4447943
Have you ever said anything negative about LycoReco in the general?
Same thing, it immediately makes you the "Majima schizo", even if you didn't mention the guy at all.
Actually, sometimes you don't even need to bring up LycoReco to begin with, it's one of those ghosts that people see in every shadow.

>>4447894
I have to assume you are trolling. Like both of those replies are so stupid.
1. Yuri University is unfinished 3D modeling garbage for gooners. You'd scare off people from ever trying yuri games again.
2. LGTS has het BAD endings. The good endings are all yuri.

You ain't getting more out of me.

>>4447898
>>4447899
>>4447900
I'm 99% certain this is the LGTS schizo samefagging. This retard is so obssessed he is lurking these threads 24/7 to start shit about LGTS every single time. And he loves lying too, so this little charade is a great example.

>>4447909
My guy, you literally have the same posting style as the LGTS schizo and even made up a bunch of stuff you wouldnzt "know" if you really didn't know anything about the game. How see-tthough, holy shit.

>>4447943
You intentionally misrepresent the whole issue, so it sure makes you look like the schizo. People dont give a shit if you dont think the game is good. It's the constant lying and attempts to deter people from playing it by making shit up.

>>4447904
Reporting seems to do little as the jannies are lazy as fuck about anything that doesn't directly violate some big rule. This moron lying and trying to trash talk a game every thread is beneaht their notice.

>>4447917
>I couldn't find any confirmation that the state of the Juhani romance was due to a bug rather than deliberately removed content
Well now we know it was just badly bugged content. Since the community patch fixed most of her quest progression blockers and even without it you could actually get her romance to work by following a guide. It really is all fucked up mostly because new dialogue is tied to levels for some goddessforsaken reason.
Either way, now you know!

>>4447981
>You intentionally misrepresent the whole issue
Actually I just said what happened to me in the past.

>>4447977
>gets a whole game for a het bad ending making it canon.
There even being bad het endings is already a red flag, this being a prequel to het bad ending game makes it even worse.
Why do people defend this, like fair i didnt play but this is the most toxic set up to anything ever.
How can you even have a discussion knowing it just get a bad ending like sure i understand the whole "what if" but itst still in bad taste with a whole game dedicated to het ending.
I rather support some true Yuri games instead of this weird ass writing.
How can you even interact with the fandom around that i dont understand.

Im legit so fucking mad that i just found out about the whole LGTS thing.
I was looking forward to playing it, now not so much.

>>4447991
Play it faggot
>>4447990
>bad het endings is already a red flag
What are you 12? That's why it's bad

>>4447991
I'm sure you are.

Stop taking the schizo's bait. He is not even pretending anymore. Report him and move on.

>>4447990
Give it a rest already schizo. Nobody buys that you are someone else. You were told a 100 times that the devs said LGTS has no canon endings. Shut up now or be banned.

Solution: We create one generic reply that goes through all the schizo's repetitive lies/talking points and refutes them all. Then we just post it every time he appears and don't reply to him in any other way.
That way nobody can be tricked by him, he doesn't get the satisfaction of "triggering" anyone and we keep it short and clean to have the threads not derailed.

Here, I will write it out:
"Little Goodie Two Shoes has 10 endings, of which 3 bad endings involve het as a negative consequence for doing an evil choice (and one even involves redemption for Elise where she escapes the brainwashed het marriage and becomes a nun), 3 yuri endings which lead to extensive happy endings with all three heroines, 1 pseudo-yuri horror bad end, 1 witch possession end and 2 are dead ends. The devs have stated none of these endings are canon and it is up to the player to choose which one they consider the most fitting one.
The first game, Pocket Mirror, is an alternate timeline which starts from a similar place as one of LGTS bad endings, however, the best ending in that game messes with the timeline and undoes itself, making the game never happen and instead leads to a non-het good timeline.
Whether you dislike the existence of het bad endings is irrelevant. Nobody asked your opinion. Moving on."

>>4448009
I think you guys can't handle differing opinions from your own.

>>4448012
I wish I cared about your opinion, but it just isn't happening. Now that we established your bait doesn't work anymore, can we actually talk about something important?

Like what the heck is going on with Fishing for the Moon by the Night Sea(pic rel)? >>4447265
*This is a dating sim

>>4448016
Sorry, I'm a different person from the one you're getting mad at. Please don't be so paranoid, There are more than 2 people on this board, if you can believe it.
And if you didn't care, you wouldn't have replied.
Well, anyway, since you think I'm that other person, I'll take the opportunity to say that if a dev feels the need to include het in something that is otherwise yuri, they don't deserve anything from me.
Thank you /u/ for having low standards and revealing this kind of filth so that I may avoid such things, you people truly are the canaries in the coal mine.
Now make sure you don't reply to this post or that'll prove you do actually care about my opinions.

>>4448019
Don't care, didn't read.

>>4448020
Replying is proof you care.

>>4448019
Sure pal. I'm sure the reddit yuri board is more your speed

Steam's starting to purge adult games again. Mostly incest at the moment but no one knows how far it will go.

>>4448068
What adult games on steam are even worth getting? Most of the more popular ones use patches to get around the R18 content anyway.

>>4448068
Currently love ribbon is still there
>>4448077
Love and Renkai Bakudan actually

>Towelket One More Time is an RPGmaker series of games made by Kanao (Kanashimi Hocchikisu). It features cute graphics combined with a strange, fantasy-like atmosphere. The games include occasional guro and dirty jokes, giving it a uniquely charming unevenness
It's a series of edgy RPG Maker games where the girls get killed, tortured and raped all the fucking time.

>>4448179
>raped
Not really. And more than edgy I would call it surrealism.

>>4448068
It feels like Steam just doesn't want to sell adult games at all.

>>4448016
>>4448179
>>4448180
What does this have to do with yuri then? This sounds even worse than het bad endings

>>4448189
Are you STILL trying to bait? You need to get a hobby. Maybe learn to read, that might be an idea. Once you learn the written word you could comprehend the written description in the paste that explains which games are yuri.

>>4447784
TL anon here, progress has slowed a little because of my work schedule but I'm getting there. Common route is nearly done, I'm considering posting it once I finish proofreading while I move on to Juhee's route.

>>4447894
>bought without checking the Hella Yuri Curator beforehand
A rookie mistake

>>4448215
NTA but, it only says "Female protagonist, three female romance options" which is true and correct for the good endings

>>4447266
Magia Exedra
-A lesbian accidentally brainwashes her friend into cuntlust. Fails to undo it and moves onto a cute white-haired girl
-Potentially richbitch searches for her girl in another universe, tries to ruin the life of white-haired girl.
-Rich twin finds poor secret twin, they accidentally wish themselves into incest.

>>4448215
You really can't stop your baiting, huh? It's pathologic at this point.

>>4448224
There are always three female romance options regardless of ending anyway.

>>4448225
I know the previous Madoka gacha actually had some real yuri couples, even if the plot was all over the place. Seems the new one is following in its footsteps, just as unhinged.

>>4448012
>>4448016
Glad that you guys agreed on something.
Now kiss.

>>4448225
>>4448227
Is Exedra's yuri already as explicit as Magia Record's? It's not been out that long yet. Remember, subtext is against the rules.

>>4448236
It's literally the same stories/characters as Magia Record... there's nothing really new, most stories are recaps, and some of the couples are in like RikaRen and Masakoko

>>4448238
So they just relaunched the same game under another name? That's pretty shitty desu. Well at least that means it's on topic. With Madoka being so ubiquitous in the yuri community it is certainly an easy recommendation.

>>4448068
>check out what is going on
>they are purging just porn games containing rape and incest
And nothing of value was lost.

>>4448266
Agreed on the rapeshit, however, lots of good yuri eroge have incest pairings. It's always a net loss to ban porn games for stupid shit like this.

>>4448241
The Main Story is, unfortunately, just a recap.

MSS seems to be mostly the same.
Event stories, you might get something new.

>>4448266
>>4448280
If they don't remove Night Shift Nurses I will laugh.

>>4448287
They didnt remove lolicon porn games after their supposed purge of any loli and underage content. Steam is never consistent.

I'm allowed to pretend that P-chan is a girl, right?

>>4447266
A Summer's End: Hong Kong 1986 (visual novel)
I'm new myself and this is the first VN i bothered with so maybe that says something

>>4448327
If you have to pretend then don't post it.

>>4448328
It's a very good VN. Very grounded and painfully real. Just a tad short, but I would also rec it to anyone who is interested in historic lesbian struggles.

I'm so blown that this group said they were going to translate Ever Maiden and then they promptly dropped off the face of the earth and never posted anything ever again

>>4447266
Synergia (VN)
It's one of the few yuri titles with sci-fi theme, not long, plot is easy to understand with many references to other sci-fi works, so pretty beginner friendly, and very gay too.
Also second Crymachina (JRPG)

Looks like they're finally releasing Fantasy Maiden Wars in english:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3575980/Fantasy_Maiden_Wars__DREAM_OF_THE_STRAY_DREAMER/

Here's a better trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-EzwGmf1ow

For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a Touhou fangame, so there's a big cast of characters who are about 99% girls, and it's a perfect introduction to the series if you've never got into it, since it rethreads the storyline of the games, except it actually makes it good and consistent.
I've played the full version in japanese some years ago and I can't recommend this enough, what really shines about it are the writing (it's a looong game with a ton of text in it) and music, and the yuri levels were also upped a lot compared to the bare bones stuff in the official games, some pairs come off as pretty much maintext, though of course it's not a romance.

For more context, it was originally released as 4 separate chapters created over 9 years of insane dedication, and then they were bundled into a "Complete Box" edition with several improvements, which is the version they're releasing in english.
The first 3 of the original chapters have had an unofficial english patch out for a while, and the fourth one has a UI translation only, but I wouldn't recommend playing them at this point since their gameplay, story and graphics have all been upgraded in the final edition.

As far as I'm concerned, even though I knew nothing about Touhou before it, playing this game was a memorable experience, to the extent I could hardly believe it was an indie work, which is why I'm uncharacteristically writing this cringe wall of text about it, but that's how much I enjoyed it, so maybe you will too.

>>4448427
I just dont know what to do with the phrase "upped the yuri levels" when the canon games have none. "Almost maintext" means nothing. As long as it is subtext it's more or less the same at any level.

>>4448449
Uhm, I'm not sure how to explain it better, let's say that on a scale that goes from CocoChino in Gochiusa (1, very light subtext/goggles) to NinaLion in Hina Logi (10, borderline maintext with a kiss but no explicit confirmation), the strongest pairs in FMW are probably at 9, they go as far as swearing to spend the rest of their lives together with romantic tones, but no kisses or calling each other lovers.
If you really aren't interested in anything but the yuri this may not be the game for you, but if you see any appeal in a huge compelling storyline with several character arcs that revolve around pairings with moderate to strong yuri subtext, I recommend givingitachance.

>>4448461
Well for better or worse Touhou has been part of this board's core DNA from the start. A game that digestably retells the main plot and makes it more yuri friendly should do nicely.
Except Touhou is the franchise of throwing darts at a board and making ships out of whatever random thing you hit, so I expect some dismay at whatever pairings the game deems "almost maintext" lol

>>4448427
Hope it's not a tragedy like too many Touhou fanworks.

>>4448449
Distance between 0 and 1 is as big as the distance between 1 and infinite. Thus, that Touhou game having more yuri than the canon ones, which have 0, means that one game is infinitely more yuri than the canon ones.

>>4448427
Cool. I've always kinda had an adjacent interest in Tohou but didn't care enough to get into the games. I'm an SRW fan so I guess this could be neat.

Is there canon yuri touhou game without males ? or even just a fun fan game?

>>4448529
>Is there canon yuri touhou game without males?
Depending on your definition of 'male', all of them. Back in the PC-98 era, or at least in one of those games, Reimu needed to ride a flying tortoise to fly around. That tortoise was male. It hasn't appeared in the modern era

>>4448529

>hope it's not a tragedy
It literally retells the canon stories from the main games. Touhou rarely has tragic endings.
>means that one game is infinitely more yuri than the canon ones
"infinitely more yuri" and "subtext" cancel each other out. Yuri starts at the explicit level. If you don't get past that barrier, you don't actually have yuri. So whether you go from 0->1 or 0->1 million times more yuri, it makes almost no difference.

>>4448529
>canon
No.
>fan game
Plenty of doujin and RPGmaker games.

>>4448542
You kinda skipped the whole part about "canon yuri" which no Touhou game has ever done.

Can someone post the new volcano princess art? I wanna see what the new daughter and romance options look like but dont know where to look. The game doesnt have a name yet.

...I stand corrected. When the heck did this get added?
>wuxia themed
Ugh.
>raise the daughter to be a martial artist!
I... guess VP technically also forced you to raise Rose as a knight, but the profession endings went completely differently, because it was basically just an unusual academy. I sure as fuck hope this game doesn't just give you 50 variations or generic martial artist...
>synopsis
Holy shit it's just Volcano Princess exact set-up again, but replace 3 houses with 3 sects and demon forest with evil valley.

Not looking forward to the hundreds of Chinese names and terms that won't be translated on purpose this time. Like what is this gibberish?
>Amidst a turbulent Jianghu, the truth you uncover may decide the fate of Mingyue.
Like what the heck is a Jianghu?
>12 main love interests, 6 male, 6 female
Okay, this is actually great improvement though. Making the romance options equal instead of like VP where there are basically way less important female love interests. I guess they saw that Gwyneth was the most married character and understood their audience lol
>New game features — unlock hidden content across multiple playthroughs: martial arts skills, new characters, new plotlines, and new endings...With each playthrough, more hidden truths emerge. Unresolved fates and mysteries in one lifetime may find answers in the next...
Interesting. So unlike VP where you could get any ending except the retardedly high stat ones in your first playthrough (and even those with abusing the blacksmith exploit), this one specifically banks on reincarnation for more runs. That is quite bold, to literally lock story behind doing multiple runs. For some people that will feel like an invalidation of their initial playthroughs.

>>4447266
Stories from Sol: The Gun Dog
>Visual Novel/CYOA
>Puzzle/Mystery
>Selectable Protagonist Gender
Sci-fi mystery/drama story that takes place in a spaceship. Has a "retro anime" art style and OST. One of the few titles where the heroine already starts out in a relationship, and you're quickly exposed to explicit yuri interactions which newcomers should appreciate. The relationship also plays a role in the story so it's not just there for fluff.

>>4448662
I really like that game's concept, but isn't it just part 1 of a series? I remember some anons who played it saying the game doesn't really have a satisfying conclusion, it just kinda ends on a cliffhanger.
Not a knock out critera mind you, considering people still recommend Nights of Azure, which will NEVER be finished.

>>4448667
>isn't it just part 1 of a series?
Yes, but it's not a massive time investment and you get a strong dose of yuri in that time frame.
Still worthy of putting on a newcomer list even if you need to include an asterisk indicating it's the first entry in a series.

>>4447742
>Kindred Spirits
Don't forget to make it the Full Chorus version specifically. Also it needs the "Porn" tag, considering it has sex scenes.

>>4448642
>Like what the heck is a Jianghu
The most basic wuxia setting. After you play enough chink grindfests you will get hang on the common terminology, they don't trend to be creative.
>For some people that will feel like an invalidation of their initial playthroughs
Maybe, maybe not. Modern raising sims like their roguelite elements. Chinese Parents has even worse runs without NG+ bonuses than VP and I Was a Teenage Exocolonist did a similar thing with locking story elements behind multiple playthroughs by its time loop gimmick.

>>4448494
>Hope it's not a tragedy
It's not, the game takes itself seriously and has a fair amount of dramatic developments and backstories, but it's optimistic in nature and every conflict ends on a very positive note for all parties involved.
That doesn't mean it's all serious either, a lot of cutscenes focus on silly character comedy, banter and generally low stakes events, but when it decides to be epic it does epic, and does it very well, especially in the second half of the game.

>>4448688
>After you play enough chink grindfests you will get hang on the common terminology
I refuse. Thank Madokami that this shit rately ever features yuri, because it is probably the most heterosexual setting possible.

>>4448642
>wuxia themed
Not the best setting, but whatever
I have a hope that they'll somehow make gameplay deeper, not wider. Like, in VP most profession endings are irrelevant because they are just variations of how much you grinded the same stats. Or directly picking your direction at the end is half-assed. It should be somehow more natural.
>Making the romance options equal
Before you mentioned it I thought the options in VP were equal. Turns out it was 11 m vs 7 f. Probably got it mixed because 2 of the lords are girls and I didn't interact with men much.

Also Rabbit>Dragon>Rat>Monkey>Goat>Horse

Btw there's Galaxy Princess Zorana coming out this year.(Sequel to Long Live the Queen). Looking forward to it, considering the time skip of a couple thousand years and normalization of homosexuality. In the first game pursuing lesbian relationship was a hard mode.

>>4447991

>>4448642
Can't wait to dual cultivate with cute girls.

>>4448742
I dont think rating love interests has any point until know more about them or the daughter.
>Long Live the Queen
Never liked it. But a sci-fi version that is actually yuri might be up my alley.

>>4448742

Damn. Art got a downgrade

Can you ever be fucked to actually write words in your goddamn posts? Posting images without context does fuck all.

>>4448742
>Turns out it was 11 m vs 7 f.
It's worse than that. Of the female love interests only 2 are actually active in the world (Nina/Mona). The other 5 are static, tied to one location and thus cannot interact with anything else. Gwyneth and Lebsa being lords actually have some more presence in the rest of the game, but it is still severely limited.
The only males in the same situation are the male Lord(forgot his name), the bard and the fisherman/blacksmith, which are not romance options themselves, but their max affection endings lead to related het romance.

You will never see Mary anywhere except at the bathouse. Meanwhile you will see Ze all over the place. You can take most of the male love interests into the dungeons, but you can only take Mona/Nina with you.
Even though the numbers don't reflect it, that means that there are only two fully fledged out f/f/f options, with the others being a bonus. Gwyneth and Lebsa respectively being tied behind their houses and routes makes it extra unfortunate. Their story significance tends to elevate them, so maybe you could argue it's 4 proper f/f options then.

This has been small downside for VP from the beginning, so I really hope that these 6 f/f options in Moon Princess will actually all have equal status to males. I also don't expect these 12 to be the only romance options. They are sure to add some static side-NPCs again.

So the new Cyberpunk 2077 patch just added more car related shit, more photo mode options and lots of bug fixes.
That rumored new content with Judy is still not coming, huh?

>>4448886

Speaking of which, the love interests are divided by background color, which might imply what sect they belong to. But there is a 4th row, so that might mean I'm wrong... unless those are stray unassociated heroes or whatever. They are all dudes anyway, so they don't matter.
But if these ARE the sects you can pick from... the purple one is the most stacked. It has literally only women. Meanwhile if you wanna be in rat's sect you need to bear with two dudes.

>>4449122
To be fair, it's not the size of the girlfriend's tits, but how well they fit in your hands...

Joking aside, some media can do a LOT in very little time. I have seen music video of 4 moinutes that have moved me more than entire TV series etc. But with writing you need to be an absolute cracked master writer to evoke so much with so little. There are some powerful poems or shot stories, no doubt. I don't thin visual novels are the right medium for that kind of thing though.

>>4447266
Gakumas
-The Evil? Idol does something truly evil. Kissing onee-chan in front of her siscon imouto. Some of the scenarios are being written by the OreImo writer who seems to have become fond of yuri incest.

>>4449131
It doesn't have any actual yuri. That one scene you speak of isn't even yuri either. Literally no yuri connotation or yuri consequences. Also who uses the Oreimo writer as a PRO in any context?
Nice try tho.

>>4447266
>The new recommendation list will be added next thread and the CG link will be deleted by then too, as it serves no particular purpose.
it seems to me that even the CG links can be more useful than the veritable mess you are creating for these "newcomer" recs, which is just a pointless arbitrary bias list
why not an arbitrary list for "experienced people" then? or one for "people with average experience"? or one for "people who like very cute girls"? etc...
the point being, one complete list of yuri works grouped by some criteria and with descriptions of the yuri contents is all that anyone will ever need, anons themselves will decide whether any particular one suits them or not

>>4447266
Mass Effect series (RPG/3rd person shooter/selectable protag gender/for yuri newcomers)
Reasoning: ME is mainstream for a reason so maybe people new to yuri may already know it but every game has f/f romance and it can carry both with gameplay and relationships.

Dragon Age series (RPG/CRPG/action/selectable protag gender/yuri newcomers)
Reasoning: Basically the same as Mass Effect, but fantasy.

Starlight Vega (visual novel/yuri newcomers)
Reasoning: Short, but well written VN with three heroines and a lot of passion. It's intriguing and pretty vanilla, so it should ease new yuri fans in.

Potionomics (TBS/dating sim/card battler(?)/yuri newcomers/gaming newcomers)
Reasoning: Since a cozy difficulty was added to the game it is very beginner friendly (baby's first store sim). It can also be challenging for veteran gamers. Simultaneously its varied cast and surprisingly sincere writing can win over any new yuri fans, while also enticing old yuri nee-sans.

>>4449148
I see you aren't exactly good at this whole constructive criticism thing. The recommendation survey we have in the OP right now was specifically made for newcomers too. If you didn't like the concept, why did you never complain about it before?
What you are asking for is basically what the mediafire anon is doing. I'm not deleting their link, so you can continue to use it for that purpose.
Now if you have something constructive to add instead I'm all ears. You could elaborate what these biases are you speak of or what is actually wrong with the criteria. I consider them exceptionally lenient to be honest. I was forcing myself to allow CYOA and Gacha in there, you know?

>>4449151
it's actually very constructive to point out when work being done is redundant, anon
one comprehensive list is more than enough to satisfy the needs of everyone while also keeping the maintenance costs to a minimum
you have good will, that's cool, you should put it to use on something that has a purpose though
sorry that you're already deep into this, i don't care to keep up with everything happening on board so i just randomly noticed now, but if you thought about it a little before deep diving you may have realized it by yourself

>>4449156
>redundant
You have not quantified how in any convincing fashion. Saying over and over that you think only one list is needed is not good enough, sorry to say.
>maintenance costs
There are none. This is a one time thing. At the absolute most I may delete dead gacha from it down the line. Maybe it will have to be updated again in a few years once new titles come out, but the idea is just to give people something to point them in the right direction.
Honestly, you have made no point at all. It's kind of weird how you feel so incredibly self-assured and even apologize as if you actually said something profound.
Tell me, do you also think the Hella Yuri and VNDB links are redundant, because they are aren't "one big list"? Do you think there aren't people who would prefer not to sift through hundreds of entries on those lists with no clue which ones are actually any good? Instead of asking for recommendations every single thread, all these people could be using a recommendation list that is pre-prepared. I'm sure even you understand the point.
> i don't care to keep up with everything happening on board
That is pretty funny, as the recommendation list we have in the OP right now has been there for more than 4 years. I have a feeling you might never have been here before.

>>4449158
i'm sorry to see that you're going all defensive on this, i thought this was about being constructive but you just seem inclined to try to "win" the argument at all costs, so i'm becoming more inclined to actually let you have it your way, maybe you'll learn something from this
ignoring the pointless retorts, since you brought up hella yuri, that is a good example of what i meant with a single comprehensive list with descriptions; you don't see a "hella yuri - newcomers edition", right? you may want to think about why, i'm done thinking for you
good luck on your endeavor

>>4449160
>"you are going all defensive on this!"
>after very clear passive aggressive posts with no constructive criticism
>never addresses a single point
Perhaps I have humored you too much, but there was hope in me left, alas. It's hard to believe you could genuinely make such half-hearted arguments after all that.

I will gladly welcome some real advice once you actually start thinking.

>>4449162
I think the funniest part of that last "counter" he made up is that Hanako has specifically said that Steam's curator function doesn't allow her to make different categories and that is the only reason she hasn't made any special lists like her "toxic yuri" list or indeed, a list of popular titles for newcomers.

>>4448642
my only issue is how most of the love interests look very bland/samey

>>4449164
Yeah that's a sentiment I see echoed all over the place. I think the artist was trying a bit too much to give it an authentic Asian feel, so she made most of the characters brunette. From what little I have suffered when seeing wuxia stuff it's actually very common for every protag to look the same and have blackish hair.

>>4449165
If they planned to go for a more 'authentic' Chinese portrayal, they should've at least lean more towards their zodiac representation, monke girl should look more unkempt or wild, rat girl should be either more shifty looking or meek, etc.

>>4449166
I don't see how those two things are related whatsoever...
>monkey should look more unkempt
Not only does she already look unkempt enough, you also don't see 90% of her body? And there are plenty of monkeys with very straight and short hair.

>>4449169
>you also don't see 90% of her body?
we got a view of horse girl's full portrait and nothing about her design tells me anything about the zodiac she's supposed to be

>>4449170
I think your problem is that you want them to look like the animals, when zodiacs are more about traits from astrology. Especially in China they are stupidly obssessed with all that superstitious stuff. So a girl with a dog Zodiac would be a super loyal and cheerful girl with great fortune in all her endeavors she puts her mind to, who is particularly favorably paired with rabbits.
I dunno how well you can convey that shit in the character art, but regardless, they look bland because they are trying for the generic Chinese beauty standard. It's actually a sign of how much the artist felt limited by it that she still made rabbit and dragon look so unique.

>>4449160
>you don't see a "hella yuri - newcomers edition", right?
There actually is one, if you visit the curator page, a small number of titles were picked out as 'Featured' which are clearly intended to give newbies some idea of where to get some yuri titles to start with rather than wading through the most recent reviews which on any given day might be some 3d porn dreck and an otome game with one small yuri route. Whether they're the best choices is highly debatable but they are a starting point.

>>4447264
>Gales of Nayeli released
Finishing my pseudo review from >>4443452 for having nothing better to do.
In short, it's a perfectly acceptable FE-like that is even good at times. There's some fun stuff in here, mostly the few maps that aren't simply about killing the boss and the unit customisation. Each tier 1 character has at least two unique promotion options with active and passive skills, and an outfit change to match (probably taken from the newer FE romhacks, but it's a good thing to steal). Add in skill scrolls and gimmicky weaponry and supports granting more skills and occasional additional promotion classes, and rare enemies giving permanent buffs to those who defeated them, and the unit screen for your regular units will resemble a D&D character sheet than a FE unit - maybe it's not what people really want, but it's fun to tinker with your favorites until they start murdering everything.
The gameplay is also decently designed. The enemies tend to be bulky and hard-hitting, but have bad-to-middling speed and often very lopsided defensive stats, which encourages an active play by striking first and hard (or stacking defensive items on dodge/tanks, or baiting with summons). This also allows you to make use of even the weaker or underleveled units - I complained about EXP gain for units on par with enemies, but those with lower levels are going to quickly catch up. After the characters start to promote, the movement becomes less of a pain. WEXP gain was still awfully slow, which is probably my biggest gripe.
The story really isn't that great. Most of the early stages are spent wandering around fighting the wacky lackey of the week, with the main cast motivation starting and stopping at "go kill the evil demon lady and rescue edgy dark elf's sister", the big midgame twist was relatively interesting, but it ended up sidelinining most of the pervious cast in favor of Nayeli talking with advisor FE6 style or her and the bad guys monologuing at each other.

>>4449435
Also, I saw complaints about Dark Deity 2 cast spending too much time angsting about past failures, but there, they do it nearly all the time. It rather clearly communicates the intended themes, but when only one of the romantic supports I saw wasn't some hurt/comfort thing, you might've gone too far with it.
At least Keri, the aforementioned edgy dark elf, is more or less the preferred love interest for Nayeli, with her having connections to the villains and a decently large screentime. Before the fakeout final boss battle preceding the twist, you're forced to pair Nayeli with one of the love interests. This also means they're openly a couple for the entire second half of the story (if anybody else played Path of the Midnight Sun - another game born from FE romhacks, it's done similarly here) which is mentioned in other supports and results in a few cute scenes, even if Keri also gets sidelined until the last two chapters. The second yuri option, childhood friend ladyknight, has more plot relevance than the guys, but she also gets a girlfriend on her own, so NayelixKeri is the better option if you want to maximise the amount of lesbians.
At this point, there are three yuri side-couples, so half of the endgame 16 unit slots can be lesbians, but there's reportedly a patch adding more supports in the works - and it shows, since at launch there are multiple characters with not a single support chain. Supports work as a middle ground between Dark Deity 1 and average FE - you get supports at set points in the story, but you have to field the non-main characters together in enough maps to unlock them. Unless you're rotating through the cast, you shouldn't have problems getting them.
In the spoiler there are the paired ending slide that I've got. All in all, I'm probably going to do another playthrough after the patch to have Nayeli romance the ladyknight and see the story changes, and since I'm planning to replay a 20+ hour-long game, I overall liked it.

>>4449438
That's a lot more yuri than in 99% of other SRPGs, so kudos to the dev.
>pic
I guess it makes sense for the two girls in pirate hats to be compatible!
>Path of the Midnight Sun
Is it also yuri relevant? I never heard of it, so I doubt it, but can't hurt asking. More gay FE romhacks are always welcome.

>>4447263 (OP)
The tags on the mod rentry are pretty hard to read on light mode. But the darker colors are hard to read on dark mode. Isn't there some kind of outline option?

>>4449452
>I guess it makes sense for the two girls in pirate hats to be compatible!
Fun fact, Sophie was at first more of a circus/casino magic performer and was only able to promote into a pirate after hooking up with Laetita.
>Path of the Midnight Sun
It's a decently done VN/RPG hybrid, kinda like these old Winter Wolves games, but with better production values. You play alternately as the male and female lead, and the latter has a yuri option. As I mentioned, they can start a relationship in the midgame and act cute together afterwards. It originated as a FE romhack, and there are still references to them, like the healing items joking about vulneraries and cut army members still appearing as combat supports.

>>4449438
>at launch there are multiple characters with not a single support chain
This boggles the mind given everything else you've said about the game. Even if they don't have the time to make tons of supports I would have imagined at least two per character as a kind of minimum.

I'll probably get it on sale, it sounds interesting.

>>4448016

Mandatory male sections? No thanks.

>>4449533
>girls get pregnant regardless of gender
Yeah and fairies also don't exist in real life, nor are there inns on the moon. Weird thing to get hung up on.
>the only thing that suggests you are female are the moments when the game acknowledges you are female
Genius.
Also the designs in these games are all so feminine that it's actually harder to believe protag could be male at all.

>>4449519
Nope. No option for that. Quite the oversight by the programmers desu.

>>4449553
What do programmers have to do with it? Whoever writes the text decides what colors to use for colored text. If you don't like the particular shade of yellow that's assigned to %yellow%, for example, use HEX codes.

>>4449586
Actually nevermind, my bad, I misread your post.
The reason why outline isn't a thing is because the "tag" functionality doesn't exist, it's just basic colored text. They could implement "tag" or "status" badges, but I guess it's low priority.

>>4449586
>>4449588
Never have I seen such a fast betrayal and redemption arc. Majestic.
But to be clear, outlined text is a pretty common function for most text or graphics software. rentry just doesn't have it yet for some reason, despite having extra thicc underlined text and inline code functionality and a bunch of other fancy things that are probably way less practical.

Personally I recommend sticking to either dark or light mode and orienting all clorors around that. This paste seems to be made in dark mode because most tags are in bright colors.

>>4449591
It's not very common on websites. Off the top of my head, I can't remember a single static site generator or rentry alternative that has an outlined text option in the editor. Although to be fair, I also can't remember a single static site generator or retry alternative (other than rentry itself) that has extra thick underlines. Graphics software is a different beast altogether.

Rentry allows you to add a drop shadow to text in the metadata, but you can't specify which text it's going to be applied to, and it still doesn't help readability that much.

I know it's brand new, but Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is just a really good game in general to play for yuri. Alternatively RF5. Or Stardew Valley. Just need some farming sims because they're cozy and appeal to everyone.

>>4449664
Sorry anon I played this like 5 years ago so I don't remember. I tried looking for a guide, but it doesn't look like anyone bothered to make one.

>>4449664
You need to find three of the final secret bow weapon, and use them to unlock its weapon skill on all characters (it has a very low proc rate), then you use the secret skill on the dragon on round 1 from all characters, one-shotting it before it one-shots you.
Here's the instructions from the author:
https://rpgex.sakura.ne.jp/home/game/file5.php
Yes, it's pretty dumb considering how long it takes, just for a battle that isn't really a battle, you don't get anything else for it either.
In fact a future game update that wasn't unfortunately the translated version changed the post-game completely, and also added new game plus with the loli devil as a bonus party member, plus extra scenes and stuff.

>>4449982
The fact that the enhanced version came out just a couple of months after the translation of the original is truly the highest form of pain.

I know some people like to complain about player sexual farm romances but sometimes they really work

>>4450065
Playersexual self-insert stuff is pretty lame, but farming sims have absolutely been the most booming game genre for yuri in recent years. It's hard to deny.

Looked into it further. This purge happened because of pressure by an Australian women's group.

Though based on their screenshots they are only removing by title (if you put incest in OP) and tags- which can be user submitted. And this can be exploited. As of writing, Night Shift Nurses still for sale.

>>4450466
My pain is immeasurable and I will bully dumb fox for this transgression.

>>4450467

>>4450473
You're expecting effort from Valve?

>>4447265
I've been thinking of whether to do this update so soon, but with the new Kasumi mod being completed I might as well.

I have added yuri mods for Persona 3 Reload, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal!

P3P may have already been yuri by default, but the other major titles in the series didn't get the same treatment. Thus it is up to the fans to do what Atlus couldn't. 3, 4 and 5 all have female protagonist mods, but the majority are in various states of being finished and polished. Nonthless I think most of these are worth checking out if you are either impatient or willing to overlook some issues.

Persona 3 Reload:
The femc project has gained quite some attention as is. Right now it is already past the 1.0 release mark as the original goal was simply to change 3D, 2D and UI to completely replace with Kotone. This has been accomplished. The mod continues to be worked on the rewrite all events and story as well as to add entirely new social links. Porgress is steady on that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYT7OyEnKBk

Persona 4 Golden:
Unfortunately the least worked on game of the three. There has been a female protag model and a rewrite for female pronouns. These are band aid fixes at best as the script wasnt really changed and the 2D/UI/voices acting are all still vanilla. Still, with some imagination this is a femc playthrough.

>>4450586
Persona 5 Royal:
There are THREE separate femc mods now. I am not even kidding.

1. Fem Joker
This mod is famous already so I don't have much to say. It really does everything to turn Joker into a girl, from models, to art to voice acting and scripts. Just not the anime cutscenes.
Pros - Complete femc experience. Lots of polish.
Cons - Only 4 female romance options (Haru, Hifumi, Ann, Takemi). Not all Confidants have been rewritten yet (about 6 left).

2. Kasumi as protag
This is a complete visual overhaul that makes Kasumi the female protagonist (as she should have always been). Very polished and changes the necessary scenes to make sense (e.g. bathouse, bathrooms etc.) as well as the voice lines being switched to Kasumi's. Does not change the script at all. But thankfully there is a female pronoun mod for P5R as well. Combined this is definitely the best experience for femc in P5R right now as it keeps everything intact and just makes it, well female. That means all romance options are intact and yuri.

-> Add-on - Rose & Violet - Story Overhaul. This is a complete rewrite of the game that actually makes Kasumi a proper protagonist and doesn't just switch Joker for a girl. The rewrite covers everything from story, to backstory, to replacing Kasumi's Confidant with her sister Sumire. It also adjust the romances to make sense with Kasumi. Only downside is that adult romances are not supported. You can still play them, but they will not have any changed script.
This mod is made to work with the Kasumi as Protag mod so they basically complete each other. However as of this moment the story overhaul is still at 90%. It might be finished soon.

3. BETA FeMC Redux+
This one is special and weird. The original concept art from the P5 beta for a female protag inspired this modder to make a complete femc overhaul based on her. Similar to fem Joker and still in the early stages.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDEld4IMhnc

>>4450065
Surprised the hick's of Mineral Town took it so well.

>>4450588
Okay, you convinced me. I'll play this god forsaken franchise when Kasumi mode comes out. But Atlus can eat shit

>>4450588
Wait, why is her kimono wrapped on the different side?

>>4450549
The remakes are pretty cool in general about this. You can tell the devs actually embrace it.

>>4450697
Probably to contrast her sister.

>>4450692
I'm also looking forward to Rose & Violet. Probably the best possible experience.
These modders make Atlus look even more pathetic.

I will probably play fem Joker and do Kasumi protag as a NG+. That will basically feel like two different games.

>>4450588
>The original concept art from the P5 beta for a female protag
What the hell? So they did plan for a femc for P5 after all... Why did they scrap her???

>>4450800
Gee a real mystery why that could be

>>4450697
Idk what the story in the mod is, but in the original game that girl is dead, and that's how you arrange a kimono on a dead person

>>4450829
That smarmy reply is completely contentless. You dont actually know, eh?
The main excuse will always be money I guess, but that's vague at best.

>>4450838
I was actually gonna say it pisses off their core audience to no end. I feel like that it should be common knowledge

>>4450839
You are being unclear which variety of schizo you are. Is it the schizo who believes the core audience somehow doesnt want a femc? Demonstrably false. Take your meds.
Or are you the schizo who thinks they intentionally want to piss off their core audience for some inexplicable reason? You should still take your meds.

>>4450833
Spoilers for the mod (or at least what it says in the spoilers on the mod page) In this version of the story its the parents who died instead. Seems Sumire is still in delusion about them being alive.
The real tragedy is that the mod doesnt allow incest between the sisters.

>>4450850
If that wasn't the case they would have made it a standard feature. We're the minority here. But definitely money is involved too. "no we can't make a separate campaign for our 100+ hour game. Yea we made it work in '05 but that's different"

>>4450856
Objectively the amount of players who want femc is gigantic. Persona actually has an above average amount of female players. The problem is Atlus old fat retarded managers dont understand anything about their own fambase or the market. It took them over 15 years before they released their old classics on PC, even though everyone told them it woild make them infinite free money. This femc stuff is the same.

For an example of how big the playerbase for femc is, this fem Joker mod that isnt event finished and is only available on gamebanana somehow has nearly 1 million downloads. 1 million players who would have loved to play as femc and that's just people willing to mod in the fiest place, which is actually a big hurdle.

>>4450800
I mean if you play the game its pretty obvious that the devs don't like or respect women. They also don't like or respect gays, so that's a double whammy for yuri.

>>4450868
So then we both agree, it's entirely atlus here
>>4450876
It fucking sucks honestly

>>4450868
Is the Kasumi protg mod a good mod ?
>>4450877
Yea i how atlus are when it comes to females and gay people

>>4450588
Oh
>>4450879
Nevermind this them i didnt scroll up, im gonna wait til one of the mods gets finished

>>4450868
I can respect their ideal of "we don't just want to give the male MC tits and call it a day" and that if they have a female MC that it actually be important.

>>4450882
That's giving atlus wayyyy too much credit

>>4450876
90-00s Atlus was pretty damn progressive for the time. Persona 2 and P3P both featured gay romance. Once they were acquired by Sega things got a lot worse in many ways.
Of course Shin Megami Tensei, the series Persona is a spin-off of, was always pretty shitty about how it treats women. The novels are the worst. The games are actually way better.

Anyway, Atlus and Sega's current management is suffering from old male syndrome, hopefully they will die soon to free the devs from their idiotic demands and deadlines. The P3R devs actully wanted to include Kotone, but it was unfeasible with the deadline Atlus/Sega gave them.

I will enjoy the mods with the good gameplay the vanilla games at least got right. Fans are usually better at writing proper female perspectives and gay content anyway.

>>4450800
Because modern atlus has a bunch of old male heads who hate the idea of anything progressive.
Fans desperately wanted a femc for p3r to the point where it was asked about constantly but atlus kept going
>we just don't have the resources for that
Which is the lamest excuse ever. It's the same reason why the past two mainline entries have been rumoured to have had gay romance options for them that were then cut out late in development. With golden it's even been proven that this was the case.
Atlus went from being a pretty progressive company to being your typical Japanese company

If this story overhaul mod gets finished it's honestly going to be peak. They even gave Kasumi her own unique Persona + evolutions. It's also unapologetically gay with both mod authors stating that they are yuri mods (unlike the fem Joker mod).

Only reason to not use the story overhaul would be if you really wanted to see Kasumi date her hot teacher/maid Kawakami. It's a shame that the adult romances didn't make it into the Rose & Violet story overhaul. Bet someone else will fix that down the line. At least in the base Kasumi protag mod all the adult romances are left as is and because there is no other writing change you can freely use the female pronouns mod to make all of them viable.

>>4450930
Yeah, she looks totally like she is listening.

>>4450932
I didn't want to say anything, but that is definitely the funniest possible freeze frame they could have picked.

>>4450930
Peak how long do you tihnk its gonna take the mod to finish

>>4450935
It was started 10 months ago and has gotten to 90% 3 months ago. It is a companion mod to the base Kasumi as Protag mod which just reached completion and full release 2 days ago.
The last update talked about being finished with the whole script, but updating all older files to take out most of the bugs and then going into public beta testing.

Considering this is the longest between two updates this mod ever went and the other circumstances mentioned above, I can only assume it will be out very soon. But if you really want to know you can go to the Persona modding discord and lurk to find out more.

>>4450853
>the mod doesnt allow incest between the sisters.

>>4450930
>they are yuri mods (unlike the fem Joker mod)
The fem Joker mod isn't yuri?

>>4450946
Read the entire sentence.

>>4450946
It is mixed. The mod adds 4 entirely new male romances that weren't in the base game, but because the game has hardcoded limited romance slots, that meant the modder had to cut a bunch of the vanilla romance options. There are now 4 male and 4 female romances.
I listed which girls are still romancable in this post >>4450588

>>4450943
I know right?? My fucking yuri twincest senses are going apeshit! It's actually bending reality that these two are not making out by the end of this game!

Hella Yuri says its goggleable but are the main characters here involved in any het?

>>4450960
Don't touch it. That entire game series is hot garbage. And yes, it involves het. The rapey kind.

>>4450588
That's awesome

Now I just need someone to mod Denuvo out

>>4450930
I really don't want to start p5r again but I'd be retarded if I don't

>>4449162
Holy shit is that blue archive yuri with fem sensei? Holy based

>>4451047
There used to be a dedicated thread for it

>>4450937
Apparently it's now completed as of an hour ago

>>4451058
wtf

>>4451059
Worked out great honestly

>>4451058
Call me Akihiko, because I have been (very shortly) waiting for this!

Outside of SeaBed and Flowers, I'm convinced 90% of the best yuri visual novels are not even Japanese.

>>4447263 (OP)
>>4447265
>>4450586
>>4450588
Well I'll be damned. The Rose & Violet story overhaul has just come out, so I have to adjust the paste immediately. The timing is impeccable.
https://gamebanana.com/mods/593378
I recommend installing only the mods that the Kasumi as Protagonist and R&V Story Overhaul demand and NOTHING ELSE. This is a delicate and deep change level mod, so it is very easily broken.
Read the whole installation guide and instructions carefully. It's not a doctorate in theoretical physics, but it needs you to pay attention.

The mod creater says this should not be played as a first playthrough on Persona 5 and I sort of get where they are coming from. If you really want to have the contrast of Kasumi's "true" story in the main game, I recommend playing fem Joker mod first. But that is only for people willing to do two playthrough in the first place (NG+ in this game adds new stuff, so I recommend it if you know you like Persona games).

>>4451072
>It's not a doctorate in theoretical physics, but it needs you to pay attention.
Are they still waiting for me? In the TEST CHAMBERRRRRRR

>>4451069
Kinda true, but also not. Depending on what you care about. I can name probably 20 good JP yuri VNs. Maybe 15 non-JP ones on the same or higher level.

>>4451069
Whats wrong with kindred spirits, the nurse love series and Yumeutsutsu Re:Master?

>>4451072
>>4451081
Will a theoretical degree in physics do?

>>4451072
I did the mod set up and tested it out and all seems to be working fine. If you follow the instructions it takes about 15 minutes tops. Reload II really is such a convenient mod loader. One-click downloads from gamebanana make this a breeze.

itch.io appears to have just panicked and delisted all games tagged Adult, Erotic, etc

>>4451115
God dammit. Everything sucks.

>>4450930
>>4450932
Fantastic. I like the look of her too. The ponytail is way cuter than femjoker's lion mane. I mean that's fine if you're into that but that ponytail is top tier.

>>4451115
Proofs????

>>4451121
try to search for games tagged adult. you'll suddenly get 40 results instead of thousands.

try typing the name of any porn game into the search bar. you'll get no results.

most games are just being delisted (can't be found in search) but apparently some are being deleted completely.

Seems that Christian group is trying to get everything. (The feminist thing is just a front)

>>4451132
So it's not the Australian feminist group?

>>4451134
That group is connected to a evangelical group. Search up collective shout. They had the vice article pulled.

>>4451115
>>4451128
>>4451138
It'as Visa and Mastercard. Again. These fuckers think they can decide what you can buy with your money. That random group in Australia has shit all to do with it. Steam also did their purge because of Visa/Mastecard.
Why does the whole world have to suffer from USA monopoly bullshit?

>>4451120
It's her hairstyle from vanilla P5R. But there is also a straight long hair option for the mod if you prefer.

>>4451141
This may actually be UK monopoly bullshit considering the timing.

>>4450960
I enjoyed it, but the story is fairly dark and fucking grim and the gameplay is pretty grindy and repetitive. I was really depressed at the time though so it was right up my alley. Actually burned out probably a handful of hours before getting the ‘true’ end and I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to it. There’s story spoilers on the archive if you want to look yourself.

>>4451141
Groups can put pressure on payment processors ya know. You're also not gonna get normies to let gooners buy their het inscest vns

>>4451141
It's specifically the fundie group mentioned by >>4451138 putting pressure on the payment processors. They stated they were going after itch after they got steam to bend the knee, and it seems they succeeded sooner than expected.

>>4451190
>>4451193
Visa and Mastercard have been banning adult services long before this shitstain religious group ever popped up, just based on their whims. These large fucking monopolies dont need to give a shit about some tiny fake activisr group. They are doing it because they want to. It's even likely they are paying the group to give them a public excuse.

Like I said, this is on the crdit card companies. They are the real prolem. What they are doing is basically illegal.

>>4451190
Also what a weird and clearly deceitful phrasing. They are going after ALL adult content and that includes yuri too you braindead plank of wood. They are actively denying payment to LEGAL sex workers irl too. It's not some cringy het furry porn, it concerns everyone.

>>4451115
Some games have been outright deleted, it seems. One of Ebi-Hime's games is now inaccessible for people that bought it (a het one, but still.), not looking good for any of her /u/ nsfw games

>>4451197
>Also what a weird and clearly deceitful phrasing
Yea no shit why do you think that they are using that as the backbone of their campaign?

>>4451200
Just asked her about it rn. Oof

>>4451204
No dumbass, I am saying anon's phrasing is deceptive because he is trying to portray it like it's just some off-topic het incest games being affected. This is an issue for real people's livelihood and for yuri.

>>4447263 (OP)
Uhm... perhaps bad timing what with the big mod release and the pornpocalypse, but Strategy of Lily has just released.
Now we can find out how yuri it really is.

>>4451284
No I said that because that's what they put out in their easily digestible infographic. I am aware such groups would eventually target us in the long term. But I am regurgitating their talking point in the same way parental agencies would trot out GTA back in the mid 2000s

>>4451287
They are already targeting us. And real life sex workers. That's why "normies" not defending "het incest" is not a talking point anymore. There are already movements against this bullshit collecting votes as we speak because the case is that clear cut. What Visa/Mastercard are doing is straight up illegal. This bullying will either stop or the law will have to be rewritten. But with the Trump regime in power, the likelihood of any pro-consumer law to get passed is almost zero. The alt right cucks on /v/ fucked themselves over as usual.

>>4451290
>Trump regime in power, the likelihood of any pro-consumer law to get passed is almost zero.
Such a shame that previous regime that was perfectly fine with debanking people because they said something nasty about brown people isn't in power now, they'd definitely do something to defend your right to sell misogynist rape games.
Cope harder, I think it's pretty funny and clever that feminism is being used as a smokescreen for a christian agenda, I'll bet not once did their underlying Christian motives come up in the conversation between these activists and visa. The blame lies solely with man-hating feminism.

>>4451292
Nice bait retard, unfortunately your right wing stench makes you invalid on this board.

>>4451292
>man-hating feminism
Wrong board fag, /v/ is that way - >

>>4451294
>Nice bait retard
Nothing about it is bait.
>unfortunately your right wing stench makes you invalid on this board.
I was here before you and i'll be here after you rope, this isn't your safespace to say stupid shit that is also off-topic and then get your neovagina pissy when someone disagrees with you.

>>4450951
these screenshots seem like they'd be out of a romance route if I didn't already know otherwise. too bad, maybe someone will be inspired to mod the mod.

>>4451297
This isn't a safespace for you either retard. No one cares about your hate boner with feminism

>>4451300
>No one cares about your hate boner with feminism
No-one cares about your tds either.
An explicitly feminist australian ngo funded by a left wing Australian government uses a rape game to coerce visa into banning all porn games.
"Donald trump to blame because he hates queers or something."
I personally blame feminists just doing what they've been always been doing, if they're bad actors they're just using the doors opened by leftists.
Maybe next time have some principles and don't be censorious douches would be my advice going forward.

Best to just report the mentally ill /v/ tourist I think

>>4451305
It's almost funnier seeing him get desperate after nobody took the bait

>>4451299
I expect someone to do something about the adult romances at least. It's kinda awkward that the modder didnt feel like they could make sense with Kasumi. It would take substantially less effort to just rewrite some Confidant events towards the end of the game, thanks too the fact that the modder left them intact at least, just unsupported.

>>4451115
My VN isn't tagged as such but does have the "contains sensitive material not suited for minors or the workplace" radio button selected, and now cannot be found in searches.

Is this yuri?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2454960/The_Great_Villainess_Strategy_of_Lily/

>>4451331
I remember some talk of it months ago about how they removed some mentions of yuri from the Steam page description or whatever.
Not really sure what came of it.

>>4451304
My advice is you off yourself for thinking anyone here cares about your delusional shit. Go to /pol/ to talk about your "man-hating" feminism faggot

>>4451333
That was never true, it was just one blind/trolling anon and it has been said many times here.
You can just take few seconds to check:
>The story depicts bonds between characters and includes elements of romantic relationships between women, but there is no erotic content.

>>4451331
We dont know there was some drama around that

>>4451331
I find funny how for all of their posturing and grandstanding about yuri no one on /u/ is playing this game.

>>4451307
Not sure why he posts here, he would get more responses on pol or v

>>4451349
It just came out , give it time

>>4451350
Yup; the ban only affects hetshit so why would we care?

>>4451351
I'm 100% sure that in a week there won't be posts about that game besides the usual "will wait for the Steam sale to get it".

>>4451345
>your delusional shit.
Where's the delusion?

>>4451331
I literally asked the same thing already. >>4451286

>>4451349
>>4451353
Why are all the trolls coming out of the woodwork now? First the /v/ermin, now this retard (or are you the same moron?). Will you shut up with your third rate bait already? Nobody is going to fall for something as stupid as this.

>>4451358
Someone mentioned feminism and trump so it activated them like a sleeper agent

>>4451331
The chinese reviews I see mentioned it is a fixed couple yuri (I presume, Scarlet and Lily).
There is one negative review because apparently there is BL couple too, so they are angry that it isn't a yuri only story.
I am going to play it tomorrow, but so far it seems to be yuri with additional non-yuri story.

>>4451360
A fixed couple is better than nothing, but I thought the game had that whole "capture female generals" mechanic? Feels like that could lead to more yuri side-couples or a harem usually...
>BL couple
I bet it's the fiance she divorced. Probably turns out they were both gay lol

>>4451358
Have you tried whinging about them? I hear the trolls hate that.

The jannies on /u/ always take their sweet ass time.

>>4451361
That would be lowkey peak

>>4451331
From the "director's message"
>Also, as mentioned in the previous story overview, Scarlet and Lily are a fixed couple in this game.(Sorry, there are no branching romance options based on choices)
>Instead, the game features a system where certain characters can build trust by fighting and winning together, gradually raising their “Trust Level.”
>As Trust Levels grow, the pair will unlock special story episodes (Unite Episode) that explore their unique relationship, and may even learn powerful Unison Skills
>Each character has two Unite Episode partners, and these combinations are listed in the character menu.
So the main girls are together, and there are some FE Support-likes for the side cast that might or might not be romantic.

>>4451115
It's getting harder and harder to enjoy being an adult. I wanna switch timelines, this one sucks.

>>4451308
>kinda awkward that the modder didnt feel like they could make sense with Kasumi
For some context, Joker is in his 2nd year of high school in the game, so he is 17 and about to become a 3rd year by the end, so almost 18. Basically a legal adult.
Kasumi is an identical twin to Sumire and Sumire is 15. The backstory in this mod is that she skipped a year so she enrolls as a second year right away, but she is still 15. There is quite the difference between an almost 18 year old dating an adult and a 15 year old.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, just that I can see why this would make some people even more uncomfortable than the vanilla scenario which a lot of people already found a bit revolting.

What should I play first, nurse love syndrome or addiction?

Yeah I fucking bet Sae.

>>4451390
Neither are connected but syndrome is the first one

>>4451390
The plots don't affect each other so it's more in what your taste is. Addiction is more batshit insane, Syndrome has more long developed relationship outcomes.

Syndrome was written first and one of the character routes was clearly added later and serves as a bridge (stylewise) between the two games as it's way more out-there than the rest of the game is.

>>4451389
Anon was bemoaning that Kasumi can't date her sister, not that she can't date the adults.
However, I'll still bemoan that she can't date the goth doctor.

>>4451416
The anon I replied to was talking about the adult romances being modded back in though...

>>4451389
>the vanilla scenario [where a 17/almost 18 year old dates an adult] which a lot of people already found a bit revolting.
Weak people. Not worth listening to

>>4451420
You can't blame them when it's het or even gay. Lesbians however almost have no instances of shit like that going bad, if anything all the mid 20 lesbian and bi women I hang with love dating a woman 20 years older than her

>>4451207
Looks like she has it up on Fakku, so there's at least one storefront that'll have her 18+ stuff.

You know, as long as they can hold out while they all fall like dominoes

>>4451432
Which is weird because I thought she had separate 18 plus patches for all of her games hosted

>>4451436
The one that got deleted never got on steam, they didn't say why exactly and their wishy washy way of approving games means running the risk of getting banned from the platform if you try to push a previously unapproved game through with unapproved content. Most the other games have patches for the all-ages releases on steam.

This whole thing has been brewing for quite a while now

>>4451439
Oh that part I didn't know. What was it even about then? It can't be worse than her BL about cousin fucking

>>4451115
I was wondering what was going on when I saw Love Ribbon was taken down with some message about not allowing content about real life humans.
Looks like they just pushed a random button hoping no one will sue them.

>>4451460
Well love ribbon is on steam for now

>>4451115
fucking bleak

>>4451308
I dont understand, can you date the older women in the Kasumi overhaul mod or not?

>>4451442
It was a sequel to one of her prior horror het games about a monstergirl, but it doesn’t have any intense gore or the like. Valve just gets ban happy when they see an anime girl, and the lack of explanation left Ebi up a hill for a way to fix whatever the issue was.

>>4451466
Yes but you get a warning about it not being edited

>>4451471
do you at least get female pronouns?

>>4451470
the prior game contained incest which is what the sites are all ban-happy about right now so they may have assumed the sequel did too

>>4451472
I think so if you use the other fem mods?

>>4451423
Mid 20s is insanely different from 15. I'm not gonna argue with the shitposter, but this isn't even close to a question in real life. It's just wrong. In a game though, who cares?

>>4451472
You might want to actually read the extensive posts about the mods or the paste, instead of just asking these things that are already answered.
The adult social links are fully edited to fit Kasumi, except if you try to romance them. The romance versions are unedited vanilla, meaning they refer to the protag as a boy.

>>4451497
You can't use the story overhaul mod with the fem pronouns mod, because they both edit the same files.
The only way to have Kasumi protag + adult romances is to not install the story overhaul, which I mentioned as an option. It's way less interesting or involved than the rewrite, but it technically functions as a lesbian femc playthrough with all romance options intact.

>>4451516
>The adult social links are fully edited to fit Kasumi, except if you try to romance them. The romance versions are unedited vanilla, meaning they refer to the protag as a boy.
thanks for clarifying, kinda sucks they didn't put the extra effort but I guess the modders are the type who find that stuff icky, I just hope someone with enough know-how can add the romances back

>>4451518
This is the one thing the fem Joker mod has over the Kasumi mod. Fem Joker can date Takemi, the goth doctor lady.

>>4451518
>can add the romances back
From the sounds of that description it's not a matter of adding things back in, they're already there, they're just not edited and use boy pronouns. I'm not a modder but that sounds like a simpler fix, though one might want more effort than just pronoun shifts to make it fit.

>>4451514
That's fair. But if this only took 3 months to make, then it shouldn't be too long for the rest

>>4451531
It took 10 months to make, with most of the script/ideas already having been based on an existing mod that was abandoned 3 years ago. And the modder had help from lots of people on the Persona modding discord. It was by no means an easy feat.

That being said, if you have the tools to just edit text files in the mod's script I think it is quite viable. I could write, but have no idea of the technical side of things. That's why I never got into mod creation.

>>4451532
Still that again shows that fans does what atlus doesn't. Side note I think Kasumi should be called Joker and her sister rose. Unless she was given a different name later on

>>4451535
Sumire's codename is Violet. Rose is an original codename invented for Kasumi in this mod. I think it fits her better than Joker.

What do you guys think of The Great Villianess? The demo was fun but a bit challenging, and the art style is great. My only concern being its length and story.

>>4451579
It literally just came out.... Be patient.

>>4451546
Oh in that case that's fine. What does that leave the mod to fix up? The anime cutscenes, some of the modeling on the 3d cutscenes (Kasumi getting her persona looked really jank), the voice lines that reference joker instead of rose, the adult romances, and the super secret route of dating your sister

>>4451628
I doubt they are gonna find a team as insane as the Kotone anime cutscene group. So the best they can do is recreate the cutscenes in-engine with 3D models....
As for the voice acting, the modder already said they plan to mute more of the inconsistent dialogue.
The romances will have to be done by someone else, as they were quite firm at least on the no twincest thing. But they did express that doing a romance for Chihaya wouldnt be too hard to write, so who knows? They also said they might do new romances if they figure out how. But that will probably just be romances with the boys to satisfy the whiners who keep asking for those.

>>4451423
Yeah, I never got that, personally. I’ve had friends like that too, but that much of an age gap always intimidated the shit out of me. Not for platonic relationships, friends are friends, but definitely dating. It always had a bit of a momcon vibe to it too.

>>4451680
I think the older you get the less age gaps matter. But at 15 this shit is very psychologically sensitive. Beyond grooming, the power dynamic is completely unbalanced. This gets made worse if its family or a person of authority like a teacher. Irl it's fucked 9/10 times.
But in a story it gives a lot of narrative possibilities and lets you explore unusual challenges. And most writers just make the relationships work out, making them majorly those 1/10 cases.

Now that we have hit bump limit I want to once again encourage everyone to nominate yuri games that fit the criteria in the invitation pic. I have a substantial list by now, but I'm taking everyone's suggestions seriously. >>4447266

>>4451719
Lonely Yuri.
Short and sweet VN, perfect for somebody's first VN I'd say.
Sono Hanabira fits the same bill and they're a classic.
Other than that I feel like >>4447742 is spot-on.

>>4451723
>Lonely Yuri
I had this in my backlog for a long time. I was under the impression it was quite depressing? Maybe not Seabed level though.
>SonoHana
Ah, the second suggestion with the Porn tag. The series could feel a bit overwhelming with how many titles it has, but on the other hand most of them are sort of standalone. I agree that the series is a good entrypoint.

>>4451719
The only game I would like to recommend is still in EA and will stay in there until the unforeseeable future which is totally fine. And all the good ones I'd highly recommend have already been mentioned or are to subtext heavy and only recommendable with Tier 3 Yuri Goggles which might deter newcomers.

>>4451729
Honestly, it depends what state of EA we are talking about. If its one of those public betas basically which you can technically fully play through it would be fine.

>>4451728
I don't remember it being particularly depressing but I did read it like 10+ years ago and my memory isn't exactly great.

>>4449665
>Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
Seconding this one, yuri marriage + magic babies.
Kaguya and Matsuri make a very cute couple.

I absolutely adore the level of customisation for the Kasumi mod. The white and gold costume is a really great contrast for the twins (who generally have the same Phantom Thief outfit otherwise).
The long straight hair is also a gorgeous style. Too bad you have to enable ponytail or long hair separately. On the other hand you can freely swap if you restart the game. Best part is that the hairstyles are also reflected in the 2D sprites and menus.

If you play the Kasumi protag mod without the story overhaul you can also change the model to Sumire, so it becomes Sumire as protag. I can't believe they did all that in like a year across like 5 different mods.

>>4451749
How different is the story overhaul mod btw?
Is it just some adjustments to fit having a feMC or is it something more than that?
I never played P5 but I did watch a playthrough, seeing this mod makes me want to give it a shot tho.

>>4451728
>I had this in my backlog for a long time. I was under the impression it was quite depressing? Maybe not Seabed level though.
Not depressing as I recall, just short and simple and not very much to it. It was one of the very first romantic yuri things that got an official english translation. Not a GREAT translation but we didn't expect much in those days. I'm not sure I'd really recommend it for much except nostalgia value, you can find dozens of better free games everywhere.

>>4451765
From what the description says it's substantial. From what I played (still the first Palace) it is still the same main story overall, but many details about kasumi are different from Joker. The major rewrites are mostly about her backstory with her sister and so on. Also a lot of her dialogue choices feel very different from Joker.
Of course Sumire feels like an entirely different Confidant now, because of obvious reasons. Honestly, a lot of the recontexualisations make Kasumi feel way more like she fits into this story than Joker did, who was even more of a blank slate.

If it's about the yuri, the dialogue with Ann really highlights the difference between her talking to a boy she barely met and another girl. I expect this to continue in all social links.

Overall don't expect to play an entirely new game and story, but it is way more effort than just switching models and pronouns. Also keep in mind it's a new mod with lots of room for improvement. If you can't handle occasional model clipping or wrong voicelines it may be too early for you.

Do I understand it right, the modding worksfor whole game but in all animated cutscenes you still have the male MC?

>>4451774
I see, thanks.
I'll probably wait for it to be done before I pick it up.

>>4451776
The anime cutscenes featurer Jonkler, yes. That's not so easily replaced. Like I said, the only way I see ever undoing that is to recreate those scenes in 3D... well you could also just skip them all and lose all context.

>>4451778
"Done" is pretty subjective. It is at100%. Anything after this is just extra polish. But no need to rush. I'm sure there are plenty of other games to play right now.

Any anons here hoarding Japanese (DLsite) games? I'm looking for Kokoro wa Ai ni Mitasarete, or RJ083798. It was officially only up for around 3 months, and there are some torrents floating around, but they're all dead by now, as well as any direct links to the files. Any info is appreciated.

>>4451780
Honesty I'm just excited. It'll probably be as polished and robust as the P3P and P3R femcs in a couple of years

anyone played The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily? New Strategy JRPG which came out this month and apparently the protagonist is supposed to be a lesbian. I am curious if it's actually gay

>>4451811
>The Great Villainess: Strategy of Lily?
With title like that it would be actually unfair to not make the protagonist a lesbian.

>>4451811
The main pairing seems to be a girl x girl one but just from trailers and descriptions the happy ending is if you gonna capture every enemy general and make them your allies and increase bonds with them and I see there seems to be also males in that general cast so I'm getting vary of it now.

>>4451735
I'll take any excuse to recommend Witch & Lilies. It's an adorable dungeon crawler and available in early access since 23.05.2024. There might be better ones out there but look at those cute little ones except Warrior Type A. So many precious ones to choose from. You go to the city, meet interesting people, go do adventure with your team of 5, see them be cute together, watch them form deep bonds, find out they fixed the displeasure mechanic, notice they get jealous now, never be able to touch the game again.

You can even visit their website's blog and read sweet one-shots if you are able to read moon. Still waiting for more of Knight x Necromancer related stuff.
https://www.stromatosoft.com/blog

However the biggest downside is it's price and the last update was 06.02.2025. Others can definitely tell more about the current state of this game and as far as I know you can finish it.

Bigger version of pic related for better quality.

>>4451811
Do not get it if you want to see 100% yuri, the purple haired girl ends up with a man in the end which is totally unacceptable for a yuri game, and there are only 3 pairs of yuri couples out of almost 20 characters, the rest are het and BL couples and other craps, be warned.

So let me get this straight...you fags wasted months convincing every poster on this shithole that Strategy Of Lily wasn't a lesbian game...then it ends being sooo fucking lesbionic that the MC has a canon designated female love interest?!
This board is useless.

>>4451820
The bonds are between the generals.../v/ was even crying about ending up with a m/m couple a couple of days ago...
The mc has a story driven female love interest.

>>4451884
stop lying you crossboarding faggot!

>>4451811
>Scarlet, the villainess, is bislut but in-story shows interest only in women
>Lily, the strategist, plays the straight man to her antics, making her less chaotically murderous on the "recruit everyone" route while slowly getting used to the role of Scarlet's "Master"
>Primula, Scarlet's friend from the school days is clearly a Yaya jealous of Lily's influence on her
It would be a decent start if that weren't all on the yuri front. Every other girl I recruited has only suppors with guys, and that includes Primula's extremely devoted maid/knight, who has her in one of her likes in her profile page, mirroring one of the yaoi dudes. Looking at the guide, I still have 3 more female units to recruit but if only the side characters from the endgame can be lesbians, then it's a middle-to-big disappointment. I would make a post after beating it but the last act turned "a decently fun if simplistic RPG/strategy hybrid with too fast-paced story" into "grind all your 15 shitters on endless waves of mooks until the overleveled bosses stop oneshotting them" so I took a break.

>>4451072
>The mod creater says this should not be played as a first playthrough on Persona 5
Ehhhhh. What if I don't care about the "true" story? What if I'd fully written this game off as I had the last few entries since P3P (i'm including the dancing games) until knowing this mod was a thing?

>>4451930
You still have to the MC in the anime cutscenes tho

>>4451134
>>4451132
I know christian dipshits are funding them but I'm also familiar enough with internet weirdos to know that people who truly attempt to balance such opposing philosophies are a thing. You have racist alt-right radfems so a group of fundie radfems who truly believe "we need to ban all NSFW material online to stop harmful objectification, but also for Jesus and to curb degeneracy" (or at least are fine working with fundies' money) is not a massive stretch.

>>4451811
Haven't played it yet but can we, theoretically, also execute any het characters leaving our army rosters with only the yuris and the gays?

>>4451885
Only trolls like you tried to do that. Everyone else just had reasonable concerns of the lack of yuri marketing, which makes sense as it turns out to be a mixed game.

>>4451855
Witch & Lillies can be completed. It is a finished game as far as story and gameplay are concerned. But yeah, it definitely is a bit sad how rarely it gets updates.
A tradition DRPG like this is definitely not something for gaming newcomers, but might appeal to the old-school gamers who want to spice it up with some yuri.

>>4451930
I said it is recommended, not that it's a rule. And I already said I don't think you have to.

>>4451788
Wow I cant even find it on the usual DLsite game sharing sites. Torrents that die so fast are also kinda weird.
Why was it taken down?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3744880/Yuri_Blossom/
This has been mentioned in recent threads and everyone was rightfully doubtful with this dev's usual output. Maybe you were still right to doubt it depending on how you see it.
This game exclusively features yuri and futanari content. However, it seems the futa content is entirely avoidable, because a bunch of people don't even know how to unlock it at all.

Protag has three heroine options to choose from and there is an extensive story told like a VN, next to the usual RPGmaker gameplay. Seems she is always submissive with all her romantic partners, so there is that. Of course you need to get the 18+ patch to actually have any sexual content.

If even the potential existence of futa in the game offends you then this is probably to be avoided. But it is a lot better than what we usually get from this crowd.

>>4451895
That's a bit disappoitning, but hey it's a price for main female couple happening.
I'm gonna play the evil playthrough where I murder every male general.

>>4452107
The game itself was taken off DLsite by the author after 3 months for an unknown reason, sorry for being unclear. The torrents are probably dead because it's a doujin game from 2011 that never got popular or even known, probably due to its short lifespan on DLsite. The game is so obscure that it's hard to find any info of the author and even the game itself. All I know is that it's definitely a yuri game due to the tags on a dead link pirating website that copied the tags off DLsite, and its mention on a Japanese yuri game site. Thought I'd ask here in case anyone's hoarding DLsite yuri games.

>>4452237
If you know nothing about it, why do you even care so much? Are you just collecting every random yuri game you see?

>>4452239
It looks cute, it has adult content, and I like Japanese yuri the most. I've read most of the big releases and am moving on to smaller ones. Besides, things like SeaBed were also small doujin games before someone played them and talked about them. I don't see the harm in simply asking if someone has it.

>>4452251
Nobody was talking about harm. I just questioned your obssession with a game you don't know.
Seems your only hope is that the author will reupload it somewhere.

>>4452098
>not something for gaming newcomers
Yeah true, I guessed as much. It's just so adorable and filled with yuri it's hard not to mention.

>>4452303
The recommendation list isn't just for people new to games, so it's fine.

>>4451895
Bad news: There's absolutely no yuri between the side characters - the one female/female support chain that doesn't involve the previously described trio is a platonic and every girl bar two is romantically paired with men. And that includes Primula, being turned down by Scarlet in their support chain, then getting together with the emperor in the "losers of the MC bowl getting together" way. It seems like devs decided that Scarlet/Lilly should contain every drop of the game's gayness. Even the token yaoi couple's S Support is played more for laughs in comparison to the het romantic ones.
Good news: Happy yuri marriage ending on the "recruit everyone" path. And it actually gets a solid amount of build-up too. Scarlet proposing to Lily after conquering the empire, Lily running away by felling guilty of being related to the main villain and her crippling lack of self-esteem, Scarlet turning ballistic, trying to rescue her on her own before the rest of the cast gives her the power of friendship speech, them bringing the best out of each ofther after reuniting and Scarlet announcing she will marry the big bad's daughter to his face before beating him up. Cute stuff, even if sadly mostly located in the second-to-last and secret final chapters,
Gameplay/story thoughts: The pacing is wack, wasting three acts on stomping on guys that don't matter except Scarlet's dad and introducing most of the actual, semi-decent plot near the end. EXP distribution is a bit weak, and maybe that's why there's a really obvious "grind everybody to max level and get S supports" spot before the final act. Most endgame combats ends up in one-sided stomps, which is either satisfying or frustrating - but after I abandoned my FE tendency to never let anybody die and just accepted that drowning elite enemies in bodies is the way to go, the game ended up feeling better. Quite a good time if you bring your expectations to just the main couple.

>>4452330
While the main couple will always be the most important, I just don't understand what audience they were trying to cater to by adding so many het side couples. Would it not have been better to just not have any romance outside the main couple then?

>>4452333
But you can do that, you can kill of any male general and collect only girls but they decided it's impossible to get happy true ending if you gonna do that and not go through collecting them all and unlocking all side hetero romances options.
It's retarded apporach, maybe publisher forced that on them, you can have a main yuri couple, but you need all other to be hetero for this to get made.

>>4452335
Mod to turn every male into a female when?

>>4452335
If the true ending is locked behind het couples existing then they are not really optional.
But if you recruit them and don't do their bond events or whatever, wouldn't you at least be able to avoid seeing most of the het and still get the true ending?

>>4452335
>you can kill of any male general and collect only girls
Three out of 8 side female units are locked behind also recruiting guys. If you're going to pass them by going no-male run, you're running with the main duo and rather shitty Rebecca until the second half of Act 4. At this point just slaughter everyone for Scarlet's upgrades and a unique ending.

>>4452337
Don't know I'm playing lets say evil route of killing all men generals and collecting all girls for a try to see how that ending gonna look or if it is even managable having less of them and without bonding the sides.

>>4452340
Hah so we have a yurifan ending.

>>4452342
*At this point it's just better to just slaughter everybody since there's an achievement of getting to the end with no allies instead of getting Bad Ended by not recruiting everybody after dragging a bottom-tier character as the only recruit until the endgame.. Better to explain that to not cause confusion.

>>4452347
Ah so they force you to basically have two proper endings, either save all or kill all for main duo.

>>4452330
>includes Primula
Boo. She's my favorite design too..

I like what they did with the main couple but everything else about this game is off putting

I finished Cyberpunk.
Already saw some minors spoilers so I expected the worst when I called Panam for help in the finale. Seeing Judy also leaving with us was a complete surprise and made me super happy, although I do wish the final scene also had Judy join us on the tank instead of just V and Panam looking at the stars. And I like to think they eventually found a way to help V, it's a big world with a lot of other mega corps and geniuses out there.

What do you guys think of Iris Odyssey, the premise looks promising but idk if there will be any /u/ related stuff.

>>4452389
The Star ending is undoubtedly the best ending. Especially for the Judy romance.

>>4447266
>CYOA with romance focus
If It Please The Court is good. It's supposed to be sapphic focused in the first place even though Choice of Games usually forces people to write with all gender options which is pretty funny. Story's a spy thriller at a court.
Also Wayhaven Chronicles. It's not just about romance, but it's a fairly big part. A supernatural vampire romance romp.

>>4452402
If this is not yuri, then this dev is truly a master bait crafter of the highest caliber.
>Iris and Fuka come from completely different worlds—yet as they journey together through a realm of magic, their bond deepens in unexpected and heartfelt ways. Experience the evolution of a dynamic and intimate relationship.
>As Fuka and Iris grow closer, they come to share a bond like family.
>She meets Fuka during a mission, and with time, their bond grows stronger than even a family one.
The descriptions are giving me some mixed messages though. Mostly just about how family or non-family this "intimate bond" is that has them hugging in bed while lovingly gazing into each other's eyes.

>>4452425
The sad thing is they could still genuinely spin this as sisterhood stuff if they wanted. Because Fuka is an orphan without a home who needs a familly or whatever. Pseudo-romantic intimate relationships between girls are done so often in stories that don't want to commit. I'm not gonna say it's as bad as even if they kiss it could still be a fakeout, but it's definitely far from conclusive even with that CG.

>>4452389
I would have liked her on the tank too but the phone calls at the end made up for it.

>>4452330
So, the no-recruits run ended up before the final act, where things get really gay, with it just being Lily off-screen embracing Scarlet's murderhobo-ism and them flirting a bit afterwards. All the guys (beyond the secret final boss, obviously) die, and all but two girls survive, which isn't a bad trade-off. Overall, a solid 7/10 with the score getting better if the devs gave more actual plot to the early- and midgame and made Primula and Jane fuck.

>>4452685
>dooming the world and flirting on the pile of ashes
Power couple move. Very nice.

Can't wait for Suletta to fight Godzilla.

>>4452685
I gave evil kill all run and recruit no one a chance and I got ending C and it wasn't satisfactional at all, instead of having bloody Evil emprie, Scarlet abdicates for Primula and later gets killed off after living happy with Lily for short time.
Lame.

>>4452706
What a bonkers fucking world that I might live to see this happen. I've gotta hold onto hope just so I can see this. Aerial teaming up with fucking Jet Jaguar.

>>4452706
SRW "fixes" the plots of their featured shows and given how hard Bamco is swinging the pendulum the other way (as shown by GQuuuuuuX) I'm 100% sure SRWY will make SulettaxElan and MiorinexShaddick canon.

On top of SRW being trash from a gameplay standpoint, you need to be a moron to bother playing that game.

>>4452948
>given how hard Bamco is swinging the pendulum the other way (as shown by GQuuuuuuX) I'm 100% sure SRWY will make SulettaxElan and MiorinexShaddick canon
Why? They'd have to be absolute retards to kill the goose that's laying the golden eggs

>>4452953
Tell that to the previous SRW games. They are not very intelligent.

>>4452955
Pretty much the biggest "controversial" SRW decision I can think of was them rewriting SEED Destiny in a way that left most of the fans happy until Freedom released, but made the director grumble a bit. The OG female lead in SRW T, two games before, is fawned over by OG girls all the time, and a decade ago they had fucking Iczer - they're certainly not against yuri. At worst, they have Elan's survival as a secret and fast-track Guel's character development since they're only adapting the first season. Stop fearmongering.

>>4452969
>a decade ago
Times change.

They tried to make SuleMio not canon and will use SRWY to do so.

>>4452969
Are you just intentionally ignoring how they threw a (implied) yuri couple at a generic male protag before? What the hell is wrong with you.

I'm thinking of playing Blue Reflection on PC but knowing how iffy some ports can be, are there any mods/patches I should know of?
I noticed the launcher doesn't even have my monitor's resolution but I think you can edit a config file.
Anything else tho?

>>4452981
Here is a tip: Skip BR1. Just play Second Light.

>>4452948
Correct me if I'm wrong but they're only drawing from season 1 of Gwitch, aren't they? At worst there just won't be any romance period.

>>4452970
>A decade ago
>Times change
SRW T let you have a gay protagonist in 2019.

Like, you can specifically have her give the green light to her kouhai who is unambiguously gay as hell for her, as is the rest of their team. Like, not every game is gay, but to pretend there's some kind of anti-gay mandate is ridiculous.

>>4452985
And that is clearly an outlier and doesn't change the fact that they have actively tried to destroy yuri before. Quite the pointless gamble.

>>4452995
>gamble
Nobody is asking you to go in blind for fuck's sake. I'm gonna get it anyway, and I'll be more than happy to tell you whether you're right or if you're just being a dink about all this. Don't worry, imouto, I will protect you.

>>4452996
And if these fuckers do turn everything het? You gonna be fine with that too? Maybe buy their next dozen games too to show your undying support?
Your dismissiveness of these concerns is a bad look.

>>4452983
Why is that?
Second Light has more yuri or is the first just bad?

>>4452999
>turn everything het
What everything? The only gay couple is Suletta and Miorine. And it's pretty fucking bold of you to assume I'm only intending to play these games because of the possibility of a crumb of yuri. I want it because I like SRW games. I don't advise ANYONE to play these games exclusively for yuri. That's a stupid thing to do.

>>4453002
Second Light is indeed a lot more yuri than the first.

>>4453002
The first has no yuri, that's why.

>>4453029
No need to be so rough with the newfags. These threads will always have a certain amount of tourists.

>>4453029
>if if if if if if if

>>4453044
The problem is that anon basically said that he would be fine with it regardless. The if doesnt matter if breaking up yuri to become hetshit is an "acceptable" downside to the garbage game he wants to play.

>>4453080
Or maybe anon thinks that's so unlikely to happen that it's not even a consideration, and that they were saying they'd play it even if romance wasn't a component at all, as implied
>>4452984

Like, these aren't romance games. They're robots beating up robots and monsters games.

Gqux was conceived of and written before G-Witch even aired. But you're probably a troll so you won't let facts get in the way of your shitposting.

>>4453103
Sweet Maria-sama, marketing works. Go buy it, try it, get that Knight her Necromancer and even if you really don't like it, there is still the refund option.
Since their major update 0.4.0 they added dungeon conversations. On update 0.4.1 they expanded on that with more flirtatious conversations.

>"Each of the 20 personality types now has 180 patterns (60 opening lines, 60 responses, and 60 follow-up reactions), for a total of 3,600 new patterns. Some conversations are exclusive to pairs in a partner or romantic relationship."

I don't dare to play it again. Those sad looking sprites make me feel things. So could you please come back when you encounter them randomly flirting?

>>4452948
Would you fucking shut up you retarded faggot!
Gundamcucks was never fucking yuri, it was you faggots from /a/ trying to do the same thing they did with Dynazeon or whatever the fuck those shows where called, you fags did bait thread after bait thread knowing pretty well that the damn was was not yuri in any fucking way, patethic retarded pieces of shit fags.
In no fucking universe they were gonna be TWO Gundam shows with a lesbian main couple back to back!

"Hmmm, this series brought us a lot of new fans, sold a lot of plastic and was overall one of the most successful Gundam show in quite a while, if not ever. Let's NOT do any of what that series did for our next installment" - Bandai execs, presumably.

>>4453100
Who cares if they are romance games? Every single fucking SRW game featured romance or couples. And if one of the only and most important yuri ships of the last decade is turned het for it, then that is a boycott. No argumenta, no excuses. What a dumb deflection.

Proving my point, brain amputee. That was never what I was arguing. You braindead chimp can't read. I was critisizing an anon of your autism level for actually claiming they would be fine either way playing a game that is actively anti-yuri. It doesn't fucking matter if it actually will be, this is braindead by principle and makes you a paraiah here. Do you finally understand basic human speech freak?

Let's just not talk about Gundam in these threads ever again. It has its own thread for these schizo arguments.

g witch was yuri, there is an upcoming game with the main character from g witch in it, so its worth talking about until we know it isn't. people just need to learn to report and ignore when hetfags seethe over it.

>>4453200
For me, it's this cute little murder princess.

>>4453258
Also you got it backwards, it is NOT worth talking about until we know it is relevant. There is not a single hint it's yuri right now, so it will be ignored. The Gunfam thread is the only place where discussing potential random stuff is ok.

Wasting space and time making shitty predictions and self-fellating arguments about how well you understand "the problem" and any other random bullshit that blights your mind.

>>4453402
>ch2 already has some het
At the very least guys dont appear or interact, but the fact that there is a party member who is in a het relationship is pretty revolting. It would still be fine if there were also explicit yuri couples, but nah, not in the first game. And the protag is probably the least interested in romance, to the point that even in Second Light where everyone is gay by default, she somehow still comes off as the asexual girl in the group. Though Ao does chip down her defenses a little.

Is there any plans for a P4R femc when the game comes out? Cause apparently that's the only way to not play as the self insert

>>4453484
>plans for a P4R femc
And nobody ate dinner that night.

>>4453484
Of course not. They didnt even include femc for the remake of the installment that had one before. With the dumb deadlines set by Atlus and Sega they will never have the time or ressources to do this kind of thing. They will just release P4G again, but with better graphics.

>>4453484
As a mod? Maybe. Hopefully it'd be a yuri one, but the series wasn't at total harem brainrot at that point, so there are more than 2 guys around.

>>4453524
What a retarded thing to say, when Persona 5, the only other fucking game in the franchise since, also had almost as many male Social Links as female ones.
And unlike Jonkler, Yu actually could be a harem protag without major consequences AND had it as a trait in the actual story.

It's a pointless thing to say anyway, because why the fuck would anyone make a femC mod that exclusively made male romantic social links that didnt exist before instead of retaining existing ones first? The fujos would rather make gay mods than that. None of the current femc mods ever even considered getting rid of all female SLs.

>>4453496
I meant as a mod since the P5R story overhaul just finished
>>4453524
It should be desu. It's probably more work to make social links from scratch than it is to just change the pronouns, model, and make sure you use the woman's room

>>4453531
>Thank god the mod community only cares about gay shit. Be lame as hell to have straight protags
Ironic when one of the P5R FeMC mod adds straight social links.

>>4453628
But it also rewrites 4 to be lesbian. Even when catering to het girls, they still keep it gay too.

In a way yuri mods are a double edged sword.
On one hand you can make any game yuri
On the other developers wash their hands and don't take the risk making yuri games because they know the fans will do it for them and if the game you want to turn into yuri doesn't attract modders you're out of luck.

>>4453643
This narrative is stupid because the majority of devs will never know or care about mods. Like, MAYBE the Persona devs have heard of the Kotone femc mod for P3R because it made a lot of press. But that's unusual to say the least.
Also this is like saying devs will not patch their games, because community patches exist. That is not how development works.
On top of that modding communities this big and invested are incredibly rare. No dev out there considers them when making their games.

>>4453559
I generally don't consider het parents in yuri a real issue. And VP is unique enough in that the daughter is the real focus, so I would say it counts, especially because there are enough f/f options to carry several playthroughs.

>>4453641
But it also removes some of the default female romantic links to make room for male romantic links instead of either rewriting them or letting them exist as is with just a bare-bones pronoun swap. This isn't a "mod bad" post, I'm just saying it's funny to see someone say that modders only care about gay shit when one of the mods being discussed has the modder make room for straight shit in their mod.

>>4453643
>because they know the fans will do it for them
I sincerely doubt there are a lot of studios that sit down in the pre-production stage and say "Gosh, we really wanted to have a female protagonist in our game who would woo all the ladies, but we just can't afford to take the risk. We're so lucky that modders have our back!". If that was actually the thought process, they would have at least tried to make modding more accessible and the male MC more easily erasable, but in P5's case it's both a pain in the ass to mod the game, and nigh impossible to completely FeMCinize it because of anime cutscenes. The reality is simply that most studios that make a game where you play as a generic dude that all women want to bang set out to make a game about a generic dude that all women want to bang. The female protagonist was either never in the cards, or briefly considered, deemed unprofitable and discarded at the concept stage.

>>4453650
Even changing the pronouns or rewriting the female SLs to acknowledge fem Joker is extra work that the mod author doesn't owe. So the "best" scenario would be unedited vanilla SLs for the other girls, which aren't any better than just leaving them platonic.
Also this is 100% a unique case, because the modder is not very competent at coding and can't get around the hard romance limit the game has. They had to take out existing romances to open slots for the guys, it wasn't because of a desire to reduce the amount of female options.
>some care about het
That is a given. Straight women get literally nothing out of Persona games outside of P3P. Femc mods are in principle for girls who want to feel more included in the series, so it would make sense to cater to the straight ladies too. Fujos are usually the ones who cry the hardest though for not getting their gay boys.

Ultimately we are spoiled for having so much yuri and it does show a clear bias of the community towards f/f stuff. Even if it may just be out of convenience to a degree.

>>4453651
In fact for most studious it's the opposite. They are actively against modding. Just look up what devs support or engage with the Steam workshop. It's 99% indies.

>>4452706
Even that will be second fiddle to a Miorine/Lacus/Relena meeting.

>>4453655
>Even changing the pronouns or rewriting the female SLs to acknowledge fem Joker is extra work that the mod author doesn't owe.
There are already pronoun swap mods. The mod author just needs to allow people to choose between having the original or modded SLs. Which is extra work, yes, and since I have no experience with P5 modding, I can't confidently say how difficult it would be. But a global toggle in the mod config menu doesn't seem complicated. Ideally it would be a toggle for each character that has an alternative modded link, but that one does seem complicated.

>>4453659
Enabling the pronouns swap mod is actually very tricky, because it changes the same script files. It would be a compatibility nightmare. That's why the femc mods all manually rewrite everything instead.
The feel pronouns mod is also not perfect. Just changing words from masculine to feminine does not really account for context. For example the famous Kawakami romance choice of "Because I am a man and you are a woman", does simply not work at all regardless of whether you swap the pronouns. That just misses the point of the line, which is why you would need to actually write a new option that makes sense.

>recruit everyone for best ending
>then kill/reject everyone and get the Scarlet Empire ending
>it's ending D
So what are the other two endings then? Obviously one must be somewhere in the middle of recruiting and killing, but then what's the 4th? Specific people?
Also am I imagining things or do Lily's eyes get a more crazed looking effect here, in the epilogue? No replay function but looks different from my other screenshots. If it occurred any earlier I failed to notice it. Was hoping the genocide route would have more unique stuff going on, wonder if more was planned

Also also, never saw Lily's sisters a second time which is weird. One said she'd kill Scarlet the next time they saw each other and there was a gruesome massacre attributed to them later I think and then nothing, did I miss something?

>>4453660
It's really not tricky at all, you put it under the main mod in the load order and it simply catches swaps that the main mod misses. Since the idea is that you leave vanilla links untouched, there's zero chance of any conflict. That's what I'm doing right now with the not-Kasumi FeMC mod. It's a bit overzealous with some gendered language ("Thanks, you're a real sis" just doesn't hit the same as "Thanks, you're a real bro"), but it's fine otherwise.

Obviously it's not perfect, but the idea is that you let the person installing the mod decide if they want a half-baked pronoun swap or not, instead of taking away that option entirely (well, not entirely since you can manually put the original confidant file back in, but still).

>>4453545
The dog was female, too.

>>4453661
Well I answered one of my questions; Lily has crazed eyes in her second profile unlocked during the happy ending, under info.
Also there's some fun/gay stuff in there and I never took a look.
>as kids Scarlet forced Primula into doing a bunch of un-ladylike stuff, like playing soldiers or pretending to be lovers
>Primula's streaming broadcast includes her dressing up as Scarlet and satirically flirting with the audience, which they suspect is actually just her saying what she wishes Scarlet would say
>Scarlet's stream is her dumping gossip worthy stories, including one night stands she's had with daughters of nobility
>Scarlet wears mens clothing and hits on women in the currently exploding cafe scene, the boom of which is why the republic sent the streaming ship
>women aren't allowed to serve in the military, so Carmine specifically became a military nurse to get closer to Scarlet
>Primula's militia (Protectorate War Angels) is also called the Ladies' Defense Corps, presumably she armed women in the conflict as part of her desire to further their status

>>4453665
That is simply not true. These mods always lead to conflicts. You really think you know better than the actual modders?
>not Kasumi femc mod
You gotta be more specific than that. If you mean fem Joker, it already rewrote all the pronouns.

Again, fem Joker was not about taking away options, it simply has a romance limit to adhere to. The most one could do here is make two version of the mod, with or without the male romances, but that's getting into really autistic territory now.

>>4453667
No shit, the dog is the one that's pregnant you dolt.

>>4453670
No, she wasn't. Look at the CG again.

>>4453676
>the CG
So you never played it, got it.

>>4453669
>These mods always lead to conflicts.
They don't. They only conflict when they modify the same files, and when they do conflict, the mod that's higher in the load priority simply wins without any further input from you. Script edits are not that complicated, and two mods editing one script file is very unlikely to cause any issues.

>You really think you know better than the actual modders?
I don't have P5 modding experience, but I have enough general modding experience (and, you know, experience using the basic fucking file system every computer is equipped with) to know how file conflicts work.

> If you mean fem Joker, it already rewrote all the pronouns.
It didn't. The "P5R Female Protagonist" mod (which I'm not sure why I need to clarify, since the other non-Kasumi mod has the pronoun mod as the dependency in the first place) specifically says that not all pronouns are rewritten in the "known issues" section, and that this will be fixed at some unspecified later date, which I didn't feel like waiting for. The whole reason I even installed a separate mod was because I got annoyed by he/hims in one of the early 10-minute unskippable dialogue scenes. I don't have that save anymore, but pic related demonstrates the issue well enough.

>>4453683
I have seen PLENTY of people with issues of all varieties in the game because of the "she/her pronoun" mod conflicting with other mods. I don't think those were all faked for some reason.
>why do I need to specify
Because there are 3 femc mods... I know the Beta femc mod has the pronoun mod as a prerequsite (same as the base Kasumi protag mod without the rewrite), which is why I needed to make sure. Kinda answered your own question.
>not all pronouns yet
Pretty sure this was mostly about the unfinished Confidant rewrites (of which there are like 6 left). Although with such a large script it is possible to miss stuff at any point.

Do what you want. If it works for you then you're lucky I guess.

>>4453661
Looking at the Steam forums, my best guess is that you get Ending C if you don't have full recruits before capturing the emperor, and Ending B if you didn't get Lily's sisters before fighting Almeria.
>Was hoping the genocide route would have more unique stuff going on, wonder if more was planned
I also wondered about that, since the scenes for killing enemies are more in the vein of a moment in a good playthrough when the player screwed up, with Scarlet growing to somewhat respect her fallen foes instead of purposely murdering all but non-combatants and beating up/scaring the non-combatants off. Only the first few deaths, where Scarlet still trash-talked them, and the variations of the twins' deaths, where she straight up executes them for no real reason, seemed suited for a genocide route.
I understand that the devs didn't want to give a lot of attention to an ending a fraction of the player base will get, with most gravitating to the recruit everybody route, and no NG+ to encourage a second playthrough, but still, ending D was a bit too sudden. I don't want to pretend to be a writer, but my 'ideal' ending D would still have Almeria fight and maybe last act if you maxed Lily/Scarlet bond, but with you having to kill Blaubeere and Erle, which would cause Lily to finally snap to the crazed sprite and maybe getting her own revolutionary mode to make repainting the map back in the final act easier. It might be a bit too edgy, though.

>>4453689
>Pretty sure this was mostly about the unfinished Confidant rewrites
I don't want to shit on this mod because modding any heavily locked down Japanese AAA game is a nightmare, but the stuff it left unedited is very blatant and unavoidable in the first 20 minutes of the game, and there's no way it could've slipped past even the most basic of testing. Like the scene in the castle cell with Ryuuji and the pedo guy, where you first awaken the edgy birdman inside you. Judging by this issue, it seems to be expected, but I would've thought that main story edits should come first, not last.

So if anyone is considering playing it, here's my vote of confidence for the pronoun mod: it works fine with this specific FeMC mod (as in, no crashes and nothing has been corrupted as of 5/12) and it drastically improves the experience.

Is there any good yuri NTR games? Only one I can find is Motemote Datta Hazu no Ore ga Lez no Hahaoya ni Heroine Zen'in Netorarete Mazo Ochi Shita Hanashi.

It it worth paying the postgame of Random Dungeon?
I know there's a lot of events to unlock, but the gameplay loop is so tedious that I don't feel like going through it all if it's just random SoL episodes.

>>4454489
Random Dungeon's weird in that most of the story is dumped into the back dungeon events/postgame. I'd say the relevant plot (at least, for going into Zakuzaku as the sequel) stops after the frozen castle event which is in the second postgame, and even then the Zakuzaku stuff comes up rarely until the final part of that game.

The game is not quite out-and-out yuri at first look, but the original comic book is about a lesbian couple that inherit said ranch.

>>4447265
I have added Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall mods to the paste. The Unity version specifically has been a mod gold fountain for years now. I would honestly recommend it over Oblivion or Skyrim, because it's kind of refreshing, if old-school. With all the QoL mods out there you can make it feel much more modern and bearable too if the old-school jank is too much.
Reminder that Daggerfall is free on Steam! And the Unity mod is also free to download.

Anyway, highlights:
-Prostitutes and Lovers expansion mod: Adds dalliances, romances, one-night stands and prostitution to the game. You can literally date quest and plot characters even. You can also sell yourself to hot ladies for money if you are short on cash.
-Vampire companions: A questline that gives you vampire companions and you can romance the female one! The will only occasionally join you in combat or hang out.
-A bunch of general QoL stuff, like vastly improved graphics, restored cut content and new guilds to join
-a bunch of new (lore friendly) races for the protag to play and also to spawn in the overworld
-Weeberfall... because why not? If you want to turn Daggerfall into weeb waifu trash then this mod package will fulfillf you 90s JRPG dreams. It's a work in progress, so not all NPCs have been converted into the 2D anime style yet, but the updates come fast, considering it came out in April of this year.

With this we probably have all relevant Elder Scrolls games on the mod list now. Unless somsone actually find yuri mods for Arena or Redguard...
