TRianThology General Discussion

Thank you for the link!

I just added it to my September AmiAmi order~ Hopefully I can finish up some of my open VNs before it arrives.

You’re welcome! I’m surprised they didn’t sell out. I preordered it long ago thinking it would be hehe.

Just came across a really cool Umineko reference in TRianThology!

【ウサギ】「かの大ベアトリーチェ卿のお言葉にもございますっ、曰くっ、宇宙は1人では作れないっ」

Episode 4 spoiler I think? My rough translation is “In the words of the great Beatrice, ‘A universe cannot be made by one person alone.’”

So yeeah, Beatrice mentioned by name as a character Alice and Usagi know of! Seems like the story of Umineko is a bit of a legend in TRianThology. And I’m pretty sure Alice is indeed calling herself a witch here.

This makes me really excited to hear, thanks for the tidbit!

That really is interesting, I can’t wait to get the game to see more similarities/cameos. :smiley:

[spoiler]
I have created subtitles for the dialogue between usagi and alice, alice before traveling to the first fragment, I used my friend’s translation (Revenger / Nguyen Phuoc Thinh), this dialogue will reveal a few concepts, and related trianology Umineko and Higurashi because Usagi mentioned Beatrice, who is known as one of the legendary witches and Territory Lord of the great fragment.

This looks very close to a machine translation I read… Quality is pretty lacking.

Ooh thanks for this! It seems very interesting so far. O:

Okay, I finished Trianthology.

As far as a spoiler-free review goes:

I enjoyed it. I liked Country Girl the best, followed by High School Love Adventure, then Vespio 2438. Vespio 2438 wasn’t bad, but as I expected, it was full of technical terminology, making it kind of hard for me to read. Also, the genre isn’t really my cup of tea.

Anyway, that said, I have to admit to being a bit disappointed in Trianthology. I guess I was hoping for something more ‘epic.’ Also, it’s very preachy. Now, pretty much all of Ryukishi’s works are kind of preachy, which is fine. But if you go too far with that, it starts to feel less like a story and more like a sermon.

So I would say I liked Iwaihime better overall.

I did notice it seemed a bit preachy from what I read, yeah.

Question, do they go back to the stories after they visit them the first time, or is it just one look at each?

Each ‘world’ is visited three times (how appropriate).

What about the Bern look alike is that Bern piece or just a look alike and what kind of personality does she have if so? I want to know does the event of one Story mess which the the event of the Story of another ? Do we have characters of one story showing up in another Story beside Alice and the Meta being because I thought that would be a good thing having the Three Story lead to one Climax which all the characters coming together?

Well, that’s one of the disappointing things… The Bern look alike plays almost no role in the story. She has like, one line? Maybe two? It made me wonder why they bothered making her look like Bern at all.

Well, I can’t get too into the connections between the three stories without getting spoilery, so I’ll just say that while there’s a definite connection, the stories can pretty much be enjoyed as stand-alone tales.

Can you please tell me everything you can about the Country Girl segment and what happens and all that? I would really like to know what happens in it but I don’t understand Japanese at all. You can Private Message me this information if you like.

Sorry but Isae is kill

I’d love to get my hands on the assets, but shelling out the money for something I can’t read doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trouble. I was initially very hyped for this, but the luke warm reception combined with the fact that no one can / wants to translate it makes it seem like it will remain niche for at least a few more years. A shame really. Maybe MangaGamer will eventually get their hands on the rights, but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah it’s a shame. :frowning:

I bought my copy from AmiAmi and I haven’t touched it since. I’m really quite interested on where all the stories connect but yeah lack of translations easily discourages that.

Theoretically, if someone took the time to write a translated version of the script. You could rewrite the entire thing in NScripter (or any VN engine really, like Ren’py) if you wanted. I wouldn’t really care about any of the ‘enhancements’ it might have. You could say that would condone piracy though unless you did something similar to what the Umineko Project did to verify you own the PC game and PS3 game. I think that’d be good enough for most of the Japanese influent readers.

On a side note, if someone wanted to dump the art and music assets so I can look at them at least that’d be really nice of you. (I promise to buy it if and when it gets an English release or unofficial translation).

Would anyone be willing to share the general outline of the stories “metaplot” with me, if any Japanese speakers have played it? I bought it and have been trying to stumble through, but it’s been really hard to Kamjitomo my way through it and I’ve pretty much given up on understanding anything.

It’s been a year or so now and I can’t find any in-depth discussion of it anywhere to illuminate things.

This topic is a little quiet, but there is some OST released of Trianthology on Youtube, would anyone be interested in listening to it?
