>>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Seabed is definitely very overwhelming and also a bit outdated as a VN, but it is a classic and might appeal to the older tragic yuri nee-sans.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

>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.

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.

>>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

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.

>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

>>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?

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 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

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.

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

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.

>>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.

>>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.

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.
