Only one actual choice in the episode, the rest are more like puzzles and don't really serve much of a purpose other than to be fun and change a really tiny thing depending on how many you solve. It branches into a "bad" end, and the good end that also unlocks the tea party and ???.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Oh god, I think I'm at the end of Episode 8.

My head hurts.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I really just don't know what to make of Bernkastel anymore.

Spoiler

Is she truly a hateful, malicious, scythe-wielding bitch, or is it all a facade to help Ange see the truth?

I really like her 'calm, rational, emotionless' side more than the hateful troll one, so I hope it's the latter.

 

[SolarKnight]

Spoiler

The way I understood, she's whatever the hell she needs to be to prevent boredom.

What really fucks my mind is the 1998 stuff.

She is both ...she goes from either side when she is bored .. - i have to agree that without her EP8 would have been boring

 

[cj_iwakura]

Episode 8 is done. True end, too.

Spoiler

Glad I stuck with left.

Beautiful ending.



Lambdaaaaaaa.
(Even though she came back.)

 

[cj_iwakura]

Finally put some time into Ougon.

Love the background design, sound, aesthetics.

God this is some cheap AI. Rot in hell, EVA.


Are there any movelists anywhere? Didn't see any in-game.
(Yes, it supports Saturn USB! Yaaay.)

Trainwreck it may be, my love of Umineko means I must buy this.

 

[InfiniteNine]

I love Umineko too, but I will not support a half assed product. Way to go NISA!

 

[cj_iwakura]

Well, maybe if it sells, Aksys know it's time to localize the VN!


Whoever wins, we lose.

Forgive my ignorance but what's half-assed about it? It does seem odd that they split it into two uneven parts, but other than that...?

From what I saw of it, they make the genuinely dramatic stuff look silly instead of horrifying like in the VN.

Also very, very condensed, but to be expected from a VN adaptation.

Ohhh I see you meant the anime was half-assed, I thought you were referring to NISA's release of it.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Uh, so does this deserve a thread?

Yes it's crap, but if it sells and causes a clamoring for the VN to get an official release...

 

[cress2000]

In November, Yen Press is releasing the first volume of the manga, which to my understanding is a very worthy adaptation. I'll be collecting that rather than NISA's anime.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited to get that. O:

 

[SolarKnight]

Same here, but the “different episodes all runnin at the same time“ thing is gonna make it annoying. Oh well, at least only the Chiru mangas are still incomplete now.

Only EP7 and EP8.

Umineko newbie here. I've started Chapter 1, but with all of the exposition, I'd like to know there's a payoff. Do all of the pieces fit well in the end? No spoilers, I just want to know whether the writers lose control of the plot or not.

 

[InfiniteNine]

The ending is pretty divisive so it depends on who you ask but I was satisfied with it, but even if you don't like the ending the ride there is VERY entertaining.

The solution is given for all the problems the player/character has to face for this episode and during later episodes.
It's not the solution everyone was looking for but it's a legit solution.

I loved All 8 chapters.. Just be advised that it's impossible to figure what's really going on untill the end of chapter 4

1 to 4 are the exposition chapters
5 to 8 are the answers chapters to give you the answers you need.

Bit of a cross post, but I hope you all enjoy.

Golden Fantasia's in beta testing.

I'm optimistic for a release within a month.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Does anyone here happen to have translated lyrics for Ougon Musou's OP? All I can find are romanized, and I'm currently encoding subs for the fan translation.

Thanks!

 

[SolarKnight]

I know I've seen Golden Showtime's on YT, the first should have some there too I imagine.

Thanks! Gonna have to match it up some, but I can manage.


I could've sworn AegiSub allowed me to save edited videos.

Is there another preferable software?

 

[cj_iwakura]

http://chibimink.wordpress.com/2012/01/29/making-hardsub-hard-subtitle-with-virtualdub/

Seems like this is my best bet unless someone has another idea.


So I went with what I affectionately dub the Viz Video route of subtitling the OP song.

I kept the lyrics mostly intact, but reworded them to have the same lyrical sound as the JP audio, so you can read them and they'll phonetically like the JP lyrics.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Rough draft of the Golden Reverie OP.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaeGK99wY6Y

I adapted the subs Solar provided. One or two lines are iffy, but for the most part, I like what I came up with.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Kind of sad the Umineko community isn't that interested int he project, but oh well.

We're in open beta. All scenarios done. If any of you Umi scholars want to help, now's the time.

Just so you know i glad for the updates ...
It's been a long time so where are you located anyway ?

Spoiler

It's a roundabout way of asking where to get the open beta patch ( i still have the original game looking at me )

I can either email you the file, or upload it someplace. For now, it's just a matter of replacing the vscript bin.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Oh my god. Ryukishi07 responded when I contacted 07th.

すごい！　英語になってる！！　英語化パッチですか？！（竜）

[It's great!　Is in English! -English patch?]

 

[R_thanatos]

yeah great .. he was very supportive of the original game translation so i think this doesn't surprise me.

Feel free to choose the way you want for the trans file , and Pm me method of patching..
i'll give you my thoughts ASAP

 

[cj_iwakura]

Can anyone take a stab at the kanji here?

The Japanese text under Eva-Beatrice.

The current guess is "Four Interludes".

Well, there IS a patch for adding the PS3 graphics...

Yeah, I know. But I want the actual PS3 version.

I love the cover, too.

 

[pje122]

Is this all available in English now?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Yup for a good few years now! You can buy the Digital PC version of both halfs on mangagamer and just apply the Witch Hunt patches to it.

Super late to the party. But I don't see Umineko listed on mangagamer anymore. Is it because of the eventual release on Steam?

Well, this http://blog.mangagamer.org/2015/04/26/07th-expansion-mini-update/ explains it.
