Adults Only “Visual Novel/Love Sim” Coming To PS3

You probably haven't heard of Fortune Arterial but that's partly because it has only been on PC, and partly because if it was being sold anywhere near you, they might've kept it behind the counter.

Apparently, the game that isn't really a game is a popular 18-and-up Windows visual novel and now, it appears to be headed to the PlayStation 3. This according to Andriasang ; plans for the PC-to-console jump have been revealed in this month's issue of bishojo gaming magazine, Comptiq. They're even promising a big cover scoop for the next issue, so that ought to be interesting…if you're into this kind of thing. Fortune Arterial launched with what amounts to an "AO" (Adults Only) branding in January of 2008; there's something about a school and a vampire and an affair. Since that time, the game has been converted into manga and a light novel and soon, Japanese gamers will get a chance to see/play it on their PS3s. The question is whether or not it will ever come to the US – we're guessing not – and if it'll be a digital-only title. There's a video through the link above; don't worry, it's clean, but it also doesn't tell you much.

This sorta reminds us of Record of Agarest War in terms of style, but this one really doesn't have anything to do with role-playing or strategy, as we understand it. Personally, I get the idea of babes in games, but there's a distinct difference between DoAX and this…  One has, like…women. Grown women. The other, regardless of how desperately you wish to defend the anime culture, has girls in it that could very well be 10 or 11…and that's just…creepy.

i know i'm going to take or get a lot of heat from this, but as far as underage hentai, whether it be anime or manga, i could care less. now, hentai manga is called doujin. doujin is where they take popular manga comics and put them in perverted scenes, like bleach, one piece, street fighter, bayonetta, etc. sometimes they create there own stories. as far as underage goes, they call that loli, short for lolita (i guess). the genres range from (there are japanese terms, but i can't think of it right now) gay, straight, or both, incest, transsexual, hermaphrodite, again and or both, and torture. transexual porn is often referred to as futa. futa is short for efff up the a@#. as far as loli doujin goes, wouldn't that be considered anyone portrayed under the age of 18 or 21? so what if in doujin people 17 and 22 are getting it on? now, the first people to complain about this, are people with kids. but for the 18 or twenty year olds, or older who are a bit curious, if you think the american garbage cartoon (dc and marvel, i'm talking to you) the japanese anime, and manga is detailed, you should see certain doujins. i'm not kidding. you'd think it was a legitimate porn industry that just did comics and or doujins. again, the japanese (there are exceptions) has got the american porn comics beat. i think, but there are over 30000 plus writers and or artists of doujins. i don't think the writers are restricted to just men either. in japan, there's what they call not an an anime convention, but a convention that caters to mostly doujins called comiket. it happens twice a year for three days. it's where famous writers of known, recent and or rare doujins sell there comics. the population for comiccon is 125000 or a little more. the people who attend comiket is in yhe range of 500000. yes, you heard me right. all in loooong lines waithing to meet, buy or get an autograph signing of their favorite doujin artist and or writer. your right, in japan, live action porn has mosaic and or censored scenes and in there porn mags. unfortunately, even in doujin they have these silly bars and mosaics that almost and or barely cover the insertion, penise (sorry for the misspelling), vaginal insides, anus, etc., no matter what the genre is. oh, i'm so sorry this isn't in multiple paragraphs. and i hope i'm not being to offensive and or graphic. the second hypocrites are the doujins websites that doesn't support it, but peddles everything else, but at the same time, has a sh#@load of viruses, spamware, and sponsors peddling the same "meet legal teens for casual sex crap for a fee of coarse." the thing is free but with all of the spamware, viruses, without virus protection, it's can literally efff up your computer. there sponsors that support the site, caters to loli (i think.) if it's the same site i'm thinking off, it can be pretty hardcore. ok, now third offensive hypocrites, maybe the first is the porn stores and maybe the american and european industry in general (i think they are about the same). why? it kinda goes back to the parents or people without kids who feel the same way. why have 18 be the number where it's considered legal age? why not 19-24. (i think) in japan, some states, maybe somewhere in europe, the legal age to marry or have consentual sex is under 18. that doesn't mean you can literally put them in a sex scene. the 1st argument is maturity, who is to say who is considered mature or not based on the age of 18? if a parent says if a 16 year old and a 20 year old getting sexually involved is the same as a 30 year old marrying someone ten or more years older, then what? he's an as@2ole, he doesn't know what he's talking about? what if it's considered stagatory rape if it's consentual in addition to her having a kid prior to the relationship and she's just turned 17. you have these television shows teen moms (i don't think that show premiered yet), 16 and pregnant, date my mom, what, no date my dad?? let me stop by saying, "DON'T HAVE UNDERAGE SEX PERIOD, GOT IT!! OR LOOK UP UNDERAGE PEDIPHILE PORN PERIOD!! I DON'T CARE WHAT COUNTRY YOUR FROM, USA OR ABROAD!!" what, is it 2 or six life sentences? no possibility of parole? a life sentence is 10 years right? where was i, oh, in european and american porn, i don't know what is considered prohibited other than fisting, golden showers, and or literally punching someone in the face. the genres are pretty diverse and in my opinion very liberal. the only thing that separates this from doujin is 4 things. one, the legal age is 18 or older. two, they got them beat in the looks department because their anatomy can and or is very exaggerated, whether it be the breasts, genitals, penises or what have you. not to be too graphic but there "money shot scenes" in live porn can greatly pales in comparison. 3rd, the background set may be movie based or just sex scenes in general, but in doujin, their background settings and scenes can almost be limitless. in live porn movie based and or just sex scenes, there budget only goes so far, it's not like avatar or you can fill in the blank. 4th, i wouldn't even have to include loli doujin, but i will, the fact that on the other side of this is pedolphilea or live action loli, verses a detailed still legal i think loli doujin, is very intriguing. especially given the fact that live loli offers a death sentence in a prison. especially when certain people say, i like this loli doujin, but not this. is all legal live porn and non loli doujin legitamite? you've heard the phrase " i don't like manga, but hentai i like?" well, some live porn movies still cater to peoples daddy and or lolita fantasies. now doujin on the other hand, can really cater to lolita fantasies.

just saying.

Dude, lay off the caffeine. That was one *LONG* paragraph.

I'm trying to distill what you're getting at in that stream of consciousness.

I think you're blurring the difference between live action/video/film of underage sex and cartoon/anime/manga featuring underage looking characters. The thing is that I don't think you can or should blur that distinction.

On the one hand you have one of the most abhorrent crimes on the books – child sex abuse – and on the other you have some dirty drawings and dark thoughts. The two are not even remotely the same thing.

highlander, i'm just defending doujin in general, including loli. and i don't think it should be banned or considered criminal, that's all. by the way, as far as porn goes, if sony would or could upgrade their web browser to that of a computer, you could download all the porn you want. in addition to vivid entertaionment, all they would have to do (i guess) is set up a program that let's the ps3 owner download the porn on their website and sign a long contract saying that sony nor vivid will be held responsible for damages if kids get a hold of it. oh well. hey, what do you think of that free queen's blade episode? available in america?

No Problem Marcus, I agree with your defense of the artform, I just wasn't following the long post very well. My apologies.

highlander, if i give you my ps3 address, will you add me? or vice versa. it just gets to me that, i could see this doujin especially loli to be considered the next "to catch a predator" phenomenon. that is, if it gets popular. well since doujin is in japanese and may contain loli, the local porn shops will not touch it. could you imagine someone putting you away in prison for having it or creating it? oh well. what say you?
