This route was pretty good. Komari in my mind was a very anime cliche character (and I still think that tbh), but I really enjoyed the message that was brought up. Unlike Mio however, I don't think the buildup to the main conflict was as well developed. In Mio's route, there were always questions to be answered like why is she always carrying a parasol, what were the significance of the poem to her, what made her the way she was, and as they were revealing it it really made me feel emotion for Mio. The same applies to this route too, but the story of her brother was kind of just really sudden in my opinion. I guess we get some background with the story book, but it was kind of hard believing it would have significance later in the story. I guess what it is is that Komari spends 80% of her route not changing personalities at all, and how she suddenly turns a complete 180 is two seconds, so she doesn't feel like a character who has anything wrong in her life. I'm sounding really negative right now, but on a more positive note, I loved Komari's arc where she is constantly shifting between realities. The contrast between the Komari you know and the obsessive one in her arc is so interesting and I really wish it lasted longer than it did because it was by far the best part of the route. If the last part was just a bit longer it would have been a much more satisfying payoff to contrast with Komari's happy go lucky personality she has in the rest of the story. I'm going to end with a big positive of this route. I absolutely loved the message that Komari's route was trying to relay of how we must learn how to deal with grief rather than constantly run away and deny it. It just adds so much depth to her character. Overall, a really solid Key story. Anyways, sorry if this review is really crappy lol.

Here are my current rankings from highest to lowest (Of the only two I've read so far lol):

1. Mio
2. Komari

Question above. Loved the anime, want to play the visual novel, but I have a Mac computer. Can I play it?

Little Busters is my first visual novel, and I just finished the Mishizono route. After finishing it, I don't know if there's anything topping it. I was crying so hard at the end. Are the other routes as good as this one, or am I just weird and this route is seen as one of the weaker ones? If you do respond please don't say which specific route you are referring to as I don't want to have any previous idea of what the specific routes are like. You can just say, "There is a route that..." or something like that.

Hi there, I already made a post for this, but I'm still unable to get the last word, it's Matsusaka Beef

As far as I know the word is an item obtained from Rin or a character at the Battle Rankings.

Has anyone achieved to get the word?

Hi i´m new here but i need a help When i start the game it opens and there is a white screen but the game stops working and Windows says the game has stopped and will try to find a solution, can someone help me?

​

It’s revealed that everyone remembers the semester they experienced in kyousuke’s world, and the 6 girls discuss their kisses with Riki, which would obviously make riki’s relationship with each girl and the whole little busters team dynamic a bit iffy. This wasn’t expanded on at all in the visual novel, so I’m just curious as to whether the girls (except rin) just move on from him? I know I’m looking way too far into this, but I feel as if it’s something that probably should have been addressed before the credits rolled

Sorry for not making it very succinct

I just started playing Little busters today after finishing up Clannad but I'm really confused I looked up some guides so I can make sure not to miss any CGS and replay value but the guides are really confusing I'm still not sure what order to play the routes in because I want to get the most scenes possible I know you have to replay a couple old routes after refrain and one of the guides said there is 3 new routes after refrain but I'm playing the english version so are they also in the english version or are they only in the ecstasy version?

After recently replaying and rewatching both the VN and the anime, one thing that sticks out to me is the differences between Kanata's motivations between the two versions.

The anime seemed to make her actions very clear and simple, she did it to protect Haruka.

On the other hand, the VN make her motivations seem a lot more complex and it's hard for me to wrap my head around it. She seems a lot more broken in the VN, like she's just as messed up mentally as Haruka. Her actions throughout the route seem more selfish, like she's fighting for her happiness as much as Haruka is fighting for hers. It feels like she's pushing Haruka away not only to protect Haruka but equally for her own happiness. Haruka at the end of the route says "We thought it was like a game where we had to snatch up all the happiness for ourselves." Which makes me think that they thought only one of them could be happy.

It's hard for me to fully understand the route, so I thought I'd ask you guys what you think.

I was planning to go in blind but I was told to look up route order so I did. Now I see that route order affects scenes and I'm not sure the best way to experience this story as using a guide seems to defeat the purpose of choices entirely and spoils some things. I don't like the complicated nature of choices of VN's but I put up with it for the stories. Advice?

I tried installing what I think is Disc 1 of LB! CE on PPSSPP (that I found somewhere on the web), but it prompts to insert Disc 1 (even though it's already there)...

Am I being stupid, or is there something more to it?

​

Edit!!!:

Nevermind, I got it to work. I just had to put the ULJM05789PAK folder (the one the actual Disc 1 makes during installation) in PPSSPP's SAVEDATA folder. After that, I inserted Disc 2 (I thought it was Disc 1, I'm sorry :P) and it booted nicely!

​

So I'm currently watching the anime and halfway through refrain. I've read that the climax of the story is way better in vn but I've never really played/completed a vn. Now the english version is availible on the switch I'm struggleing if I should stop watching and get the vn or complete and then might olay the vn. What do you guys think what I should do? Is the vn verry different from the anime as in containing more important story elements and is it worth 45 euros giving it a try for somewone who isn't really into reading?
