Title: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX/ME
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 21, 2012, 06:37:00 AM
Original Title: リトバスターズ!EX/ME
Developer: Key (http://key.visualarts.gr.jp/)
Releases Dates : 26/09/2008 (Regular EX Edition) | 2009-07-31 (Key 10th Memorial BOX)

VNDB (http://vndb.org/v5)

Summary : (VNDB's)
Riki was a child when his parents died, leaving him hopeless and depressed. What saved him was a group of four kids calling themselves the Little Busters. They took Riki out and played with him during his time of need. He really enjoyed being together with them, and his grief gradually faded away. Now in his second year of high school they still hang out, fight and live together, and enjoy their school life.

Little Busters! contains several mini-games, including a baseball practice game and a duel battle system.

Ecstasy extends the story further, adding H-Scenes and more in-depth to the original game's heroines.
3 New heroines also jump in, 2 of them who were already in the original game (Sasasegawa and Futaki) and a whole new heroine (Saya).

As for Memorial, it's simply Ecstasy without the H. (Correct me if I'm wrong though as I didn't play it)

Don't be alarmed though, you're given a choice when you first start the VN which ask if you have already
completed the original game (e.g. or if you just want all the new stuff) then if you choose yes, all of these are
available right away.

Can you clarify what you mean by this?

It means literally what it say.

Until you finish the game's all main heroines plus Refrain, it's basically as if you were playing the Original Game.
Also, Refrain is the "true" route that unlock itself once you finish the 5 original heroines, it clearly show it as the "New Game" button replace itself.

It looks like the password on file 10 is incorrect, both listed here and in the all-ages Little Busters thread.
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 22, 2012, 05:43:06 AM
Er my bad, same password for both apparently. I just tried it and it work, fixing OP.
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: CFreak on January 22, 2012, 05:54:17 AM
I was going to try that, but instead spent 10 minutes finding creative ways to misspell the listed password because having the same password for both files would be too obvious >_>
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 22, 2012, 06:05:44 AM
Don't worry, it's still my fault for assuming the part 10's password was the second one without trying it in the first place.

Wait, then is the .rar password protected ? I didn't try the download so I don't know, I'm gonna put a notice.
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: CFreak on January 22, 2012, 06:33:26 AM
No, the .rar files aren't protected, they unpack without any password prompt.

Gah, those captchas are really hard to make out. At least the math quiz is easy.
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 22, 2012, 06:45:48 AM
Alright, thanks for telling.

And yeah, those captchas are really bad for the eyes. Don't worry, they'll be gone once you reach 5 posts.

how partial is this patch geckoey?
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 24, 2012, 02:52:15 PM
I do say half-done, but I might be wrong since I didn't play completely through the game yet.

But, I can say that every heroines, except for Saya, Sasami and Futaki, should have most of their routes done. If you played the original game, you'll have to skip through the game completely quite a number of times before seeing the new scenes and scripts that were added though.

Again, I may be wrong, but I think that looking at it technically nothing is translated except for all the scenes that were already present in the original game.

I've uploaded the Memorial edition of Ecstasy, which is the same game without the sex.
I'm considering creating a new post, but since its so similar to this version, maybe it would be better to only edit the first post.
Anyways, here are the Mediafire Folder (http://www.mediafire.com/?x4725p6x0q6fg), or the Torrent (http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=228147&showfiles=1) from which i got the game.
Edit more than 2 and a half years later: For the convenience of those that dont have a shitty connection and downloads dont cancel in the middle(and since I was able to upload without it dying), here's a MEGA (https://mega.co.nz/#F!jQMEWISS!9-1AEy6HXBQBikO43j6Low) alternative without split files.
No bumping with a new post because this is in the first page of the thread, so hopefully anyone searching this will be able to see it.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt it kinda fucked that you have to play through the game once, just to unlock those extra scenes?

This might actually be a game where a complete save would make sense
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX
Post by: Chibi Musashi on January 26, 2012, 04:38:08 AM
The game asks you at the first start if you already completed it before, if you answer yes, then you can acces the new content right there. It's like that because the extra routes aren't intended to be played without knowing the original ones.

Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 26, 2012, 05:32:17 AM
You're right, my bad, I did play the game but only for a short while and that was a long time ago.

Thanks for reminding me. (And the downloads links for ME as well)  ;)

.. Should I just keep the tag [H-VN] by the way? Considering it can also be H-less

Good to know, thanks!

Anyway, Little Buster! Ecstasy is like Little Buster! original story + new heroines + new storyline + h-scene
and Little Buster! Memorial is Little Buster! Ecstasy - h-scene, right?
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX/ME
Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 28, 2012, 05:55:46 PM
Yep, pretty much. Oh, I think EX had buggy mini-games (due to patch) though.. anyone can confirm?

You don't seem too rejoiced to hear that.
Title: Re: [H-VN][Partial English] Little Busters! EX/ME
Post by: Fiske on January 28, 2012, 07:50:36 PM
Guess the patch shouldnt take that long since there aint that much more ingame than the normal Little Busters?

Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 28, 2012, 09:03:04 PM
I wouldn't get your hopes too up about this, if I remember right last time they had problem with wordwrapping and there is still 3 new routes without forgetting the new bit of scripts added to some of the heroines to translate, and it's around the time for finals  which might be slowing down the translators. (I know dango was going through them last time I checked his twitter)

Also the mini-games to fix if what I remember reading was right. Well, it should be faster than the original in itself took.. though I don't know how long the 3 new routes are compared to the original's.

Then again, it depends what you meant by "that long" :P

XD of course i'm happy for the info. i haven't play the original one, so i think i will wait until Ecstasy is fully patch before playing this VN XD

Oh, alright. It's just kinda hard to read "feelings" on text so I just assumed from these 3 dots. :P

Personally, I think it'd be better to play the original one, then play the EX's version when the Full EN TL comes out, this way you're most-likely to notice the differences between Original and EX's scripts, however slightly they are. :P

Up to you. ^^

How long did the original take to translate?

"Not that long" is roughly half a year in my book :)

Post by: Geckoey Lurker on January 29, 2012, 06:26:53 AM
Roughly 3-4 years I think? Might've been 2, but that's just me assuming from the history of the TLWiki since I only took notice of it 4-5 months ago. Anyone mind to confirm?  :-X

Post by: justinefremlouw on January 29, 2012, 09:29:41 AM
They first declared the intent to tl LB on tlwiki at Feb 11, 2008, so you're right, almost four years
If that tells anything, it's highly unlikely EX will be done in half a year (hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they're only halfway there in a year)
