Saya no Uta General Thread (No Spoilers)

lol…well. That DOES narrow it down, eh? ^^

Ahh…finished. Bittersweet but what should you expect? I don’t know if anyone else will run into this but running windows 7 64-bit after I installed it I kept getting an error that it could not find D3DX9_43.dll I had to find the .dll and throw it into the Saya no Uta folder to work. But maybe it was just my system being a brat.

Got this in the mail the other day, my first VN hard copy :mrgreen:

Good game, money well spent.

If you get the D3DX9_43.dll error, please download this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … px?id=8109
Extract and run DXSETUP.exe

I noticed in the credits, there are references to “3D” productions, and Movies. I am wondering exactly what those are or were, since I have found no “3D” elements or movies in the game. Anyone?

It may refer to the teaser movie.

The asking price was a bit steep for a game of this length, but the game itself is excellent, and the translation is among the best I’ve seen in a visual novel. Saya no Uta is a gem of dark romance that is completely unique in the English market.

I’m looking forward to more high caliber releases such as this in the future. It’s also good to see that despite the loli content the game was released without a single edit.

Hi. It should take about a week, but might take more depending on customs.

@Dark_Shiki: I’m glad you liked it.

Just got around to finishing ending 1. But I’m curious, why weren’t the Staff Comments translated?
Couldn’t JAST ( with the permission of Nitro+ ) make a copy of the website, translate it and make it link to that instead?
It’s got me really curious as to what they say about the game.

Have enough people finished the story as to have a full conversation about it?

We ran out of time. If there’s time after AX, we’ll see what we can do.

Spoiler tags appear to be broken, so I’ve made a thread for story discussion. Please use this thread.

This is a test

epic

Edit: Yep, broken alright :smiley:

Out of curiosity, did Saya pass the break even point in terms of sales?

Yes. It’s doing quite well.

Glad to hear it’s doing well. I just got my first end. I’ve got to say, the art in this game is incredible. The macabre images definitely produce an insidiousness that really brings the game to life.

usually I don’t even expect to hear this much cause of NDA and all that. glad to hear it’s doing well, I got my copy a while back and liked it a lot

For my final review for this year’s Halloween, here’s a review of Saya no Uta:

Never thought I’d hear Extra Credits praise an eroge…at least I think that was praise… :?

(Saya’s spot is at 5:38 if you really want to skip ahead)

Considering they did an episode on Sex in Games, and didn’t mention a single eroge - them even mentioning it at all is praise. (And note they discussed it in an episode that they specifically warned would cover things they ordinarily considered too graphic.)
