Much of its is spent on reading the story's. The text in the game is accompanied by character, which represent who Riki is talking to, over background art. Throughout the game, the player encounters at certain points in the story, which take the place of the background art and character sprites.
When the game is completed at least once, a gallery of the viewed CGs and played becomes available on the game's title screen. Little Busters! Follows a with multiple endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.There are seven main plot lines that the player will have the chance to experience. Throughout gameplay, the player is given multiple options to choose from, and text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and make different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. When first playing the game, the scenarios for all six heroines are available.
Once a scenario for any one heroine is completed, that scenario will be unavailable in the next play through because the last choice that will ultimately lead to that heroine's scenario becomes unavailable for players to choose. After the completion of these six routes, the final scenario called Refrain is made available, which serves to bring everything to a definite conclusion and answers questions brought up throughout the normal gameplay. Completing Refrain makes available all the heroine's scenarios that were previously made inaccessible during gameplay so that the player can revisit the scenarios again, along with some extra decision points that were previously unavailable.

She incites uproars for her own personal enjoyment, which causes her twin sister, the public morals chairman Kanata Futaki, to chase after her. Kanata generally acts cold towards her sister, though gets annoyed when Riki gets close to Haruka. Kudryavka Noumi, known as 'Kud' ( クド, Kudo) for short, is a girl who is one quarter Japanese, and three-quarters.
Despite having a poor handle on the, she was able to skip a year in school due to credits obtained through, making her the youngest member of the Little Busters.

She is seen as an older sister to everyone despite being the same age of almost the entire cast, and is fond of things or people she considers to be cute. Mio Nishizono is a calm girl who is very diligent.

Sasami Sasasegawa is the captain of the girls' softball team and is Rin's rival; while Rin loves cats, Sasami is a devoted dog lover. Saya Tokido, who only appeared in Ecstasy, is a popular girl at Riki's school, though she is known to be. At night, she wanders around the school to protect a 'treasure' from those she calls the 'darkness executives' ( 闇の執行部, yami no shikkōbu), and even has to fight them for it.Story.

I knew Clannad was long, but THAT LONG? What the hell?
Multiple book fantasy epics are shorter than a slice of life romance story. That a slice of life story is that long AT ALL. It sounds like its breaking the laws of casuality. Okay hyperbole aside, even after watching the beautiful anime I find it too hard to believe the word count given here, unless this thing is written like a charles dickens novel or something.I mean, the wordcount alone scares the ♥♥♥♥ of me. My imagination is giving me vivid, wild images of a slice of life story that is nothing but utterly boring and repetitive.
As a consumer who hates long, drawn outslice of life this scares me. Of course, I have no REAL idea, and people keep saying this is one of the HOLY GRAILS of Japanese media. Hense, confusion.I can understand Grisia because supposedly thats action packed or whatever and broken up amongst a series. Or something, idk.
Action is awesome and interesting!slice of life gets super hard to keep interesting after a while, I don't care who you are. I can see romance giving it the length but. Yeah I'm still bewildered.I want a detailed explanation of the how, I don't care about spoilers, I don't care about tl;drs.How did a slice of life novel actually manage to attain this wordcount?PS: okay wtf Witcher 3 was that long too???
Aaaaaaah my head is hurting now. Originally posted by:Little Busters EX is even longer and its the next VN from Key/Jun Maeda. The whole point of Key games is to build up all the characters with lots of slice of life stuff and then have indepth character routes to give you feelsAlso you watched the anime of Clannad, but there were a few routes that weren't animated as well. Hell, theres a character who got a route who never even appears in the anime because they were short on time.So, wait what you're telling me the entire anime was 1 bloody route?out of HOW MANY routes? Its the norm for good VN which mostly are classics and quite old.Tsukihime: 750,000 wordsFate/Stay Night: 1 millionJust a comparison, for western market:Planescape Torment: 800,000 wordsBaldur's Gate 2: 1 millionMy point being, Visual Novels(VN) are kinda the japanese equivalent for western plot heavy cRPGs. Just like VNs, cRPGs like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape etc have stories for companions, different routes, alternate endings etc. What you see in animated versions or in books are just mere supplements to the games which only focus on a single set of decisions and plotline.
Originally posted by:I'm still utterly confounded how they managed to get a slice of life to be that long.Haha, well that because it includes all the different branching stories for each female lead. If you only chose word count for 1 route like in the anime its Nagisa Furukawa then the word count will probably be around 100,000-200,000, probably lesser.Oh I get it, so the entire visual novel is like an entire combined romance slice of life anthology. That makes so much more sense. A lot of routes though. I was told that apparenlty a lot of the wording is also 'fluff' because many routes share similar events?

That makes so much more sense. A lot of routes though. I was told that apparenlty a lot of the wording is also 'fluff' because many routes share similar events? The game isn't really slice of life. It's more a drama with slice of life and romance elements?And I remember checking this before.
The word count on the wiki is mostly right. Lines you might read multiple times as a player is still in the game script only once.And I checked the chaos;head entry, and it said it had a script file size of only 1.8MB when Clannad's is around 4MB? You may have misread it earlier.
