Grisaia Chronos Rebellion

[h1]If you want to read this vn because of girls from original trilogy, then don't do it[/h1] This vn is not about them. Heck, this vn is not even about Phantom trigger cast. This vn is about new third cast - class D of Mihama and some other employers of SORD. A lot of them had awful childhood and we need to help them overcome it. Typical usual Grisaia. Especially Ena's story was impactful, brutal and really had Grisaia vibe. So I can understand some people's disappointment because of rare appearance of original cast. But not me. I like Phantom Trigger and I like Chronos Rebellion too. These vns not on level of original trilogy, but still good for me. More I read - more I was hooked. Moreover original cast gets some action in later part of the game. But what a irony - some scenes with girls from original trilogy was most boring of all. Nevethless, I've always really liked the idea of having characters from all games of the series met together and I got it. (Now my dream is to have new SciAdv game in which all protagonists of the series met together and working against commitet). Somewhere I seen that Cronos Rebellion is finale of Grisaia, but ending doesn't seem like it. I guees we will see more Grisaia in future. I definitely waiting for it.

　　灰色系列粉丝可以安心购入的作品，虽然是利用手游素材制作的新作，但并非粗制滥造的劣制品，内容也堪称非常的量大管饱。但对于非灰色系列的粉丝的话，本人就直截了当地不予以推荐了，毕竟本作在系列作里可以说是优点不明显的作品，客观来说很难给予好评,也存在相当多手游改的缺点。 　　虽然本作目前暂时没有中文，但阅读难度并不高，有正常的英文或日文阅读能力的朋友就可以轻松尝试。副标题直译为”同步与叛乱”，同步指的是新技术PeTS，叛乱就是HADEO组织，基本上囊括了主要剧情。当然，也可以理解成对Chronos系统的抗争。因为碎片化叙事和巨大的文本量，这部作品我断断续续玩了很久，中期因为叙事节奏的问题一度差点弃坑。但想到中文互联网目前尚无比较系统的测评，且灰色系列也是我个人非常喜爱的主题，还是坚持读完并写下这篇文章，希望能对国内灰色系列的粉丝提供一点帮助。 一、剧本 （一）剧本拆解： 　　这部的主角们是美滨学院的D班（前作幻影扳机是A班），指导官是真崎新，狙击手芙兰，枪盾兵赛丽卡。本作的主题词是deadstock（滞销品）的再生，也是符合系列作品的忠实主题-果实的成长。本作电视节目由maguro man变成了sugar，漫才小品还挺有意思的。 1．序章：基本是ファンサービス（粉丝服务）内容，主要是灰色三部曲的老角色（新编S班）和幻影扳机的熟人A班，三代同框非常有冲击力。然后“向世界亮剑的六颗果实”的譬喻非常有趣，离开乐园的动机是给熊二治病，然后全员一起冷冻睡眠，穿越到未来,总之就是一姬神机妙算，塔纳托斯人间体魅力尽显时刻。 Boy meets girl的情节-艾尔的初见 新的概念技术-PeTS-可以将A和B的意识同步，提高能力，所以熊二的后宫就全员化身王牌特工了:-）奈莎博士 然后是新反派组织ヘイディオ（哈迪乌）-目的: seven recursion（七巡回） 2．第一章：忍者故事-伊斯卡(缺乏自信-改邪归正-物尽其用-获得认同) 3．第二章：潜入任务-今宵（同年阴影-不能杀人-找到敌人-克服心魔-偿还罪恶） 4．第三章：代理清扫班-爱娜（能力缺陷-团队危机-加入D班-暴走族事件-糖妹遇袭事件-与自己和解）还在乐园的架狙酒店来了个圣地巡回，话说山本的师傅居然是乐园里面卖枪给蒔菜的大叔，这个设定应该是新增的。这一章糖妹也出现了，人设和幻影扳机里面那个胖黑客差不多，女版马斯克。 5．第四章：拉碧丝之死-卡拉里、阿尔（学院内对抗训练-艾尔生日-阿尔捡到少女拉碧丝-阿尔生日-游乐园事件）男主的身世之谜解开 6．第二章（side）：视角回到初代六人，开展PeTS的推荐活动。久慈々岭学院的夏目亚衣、百合园霞、大岛真弓、渡边和花、筒美凪的初见。然后描述了一个与第二章主视角不同的故事，初代六人和久慈々岭学院的众人被卷入事件并成功拆除了炸弹。 7.第四章（side）：初代六人去京船桜ヶ丘学院开展PeTS的推荐活动。主要是和宇川大姐和他的双胞胎小老妹巧克、香子兰愉快玩耍（上课），案内的时候还介绍了一下商船校的特殊课程。京船桜ヶ丘学院的贝蒂、雪莉、莱雅的初见。接下护送蕾的任务，然后让她加入sord当武器管理人。 8.第五章：哈迪乌组织发射载核无人机占领空港上空。美国sord来的罗娜和王后的初见。亲善比试后芙兰赛利卡两人组受伤-真崎新诱拐事件（王后的过去披露，原来这个名字是因为最开始的收容设施在伊丽莎白女王群岛）-初代六人的救援行动-真崎新返还 9.第六章：芙兰的回忆中奈緒的初见。跟圣艾尔学院的模拟战中索菲亚、戴安娜的初见，顺便见到老熟人希尔薇和贝尔。真崎新回忆中莫兹.卡文达的初见，death sign的始末。再会九头龙学院的奈緒，与被称为dust box的九头龙学院D班合作，久地木诚的再会。丛林作战，再遇阿尔,救援行动（至此芙兰的积极弧光已经完整）。 10.第七章：开篇阻止无人机恐袭。辛德雷恩和黑影（莫兹）的初见。拉碧丝复活，奈莎博士叛逃。真崎新的过去揭秘，真崎志津里的情报。全明星大集结救援行动，AD组大战。艾尔夺回战。智械危机。大团圆。 11.after：熊二拯救故事回顾，加涅尔初见，一姬诱拐事件，救援行动。熊二复归，全家福。 （二）感想： 　　这部作品实际上用非常大的篇幅描述了一个虎头蛇尾的故事，而且基本上情节是为角色服务的（当然，这一点也是美少女游戏的通病，但本作尤甚）。男主真崎新是继承了西斯.奥斯陆之血的人造人，这个设定很有趣，但纵观全篇也没能用好这个设定。反派组织的动机太浅薄，情节间的转折也相当生硬，最让人难以接受的是如此大的文本量最终只讲了一个伏笔满篇的故事，很明显主线故事还尚未完结，应该还有续作。还有一些个人很在意的地方，譬如莫兹.卡文达所说的真相、真崎志津里的情报、糖妹的故事、辛德雷恩和七戒等等，这部作品实在留下了太多伏笔。同样，中期的大量白开水支线、割裂的故事节奏、部分破碎的人物弧光等等给人带来了并不算太好的阅读体验。 　　但最后熊二复归的场景，对于一个灰色系列的忠实粉丝来说实在是很感动，无视故事的合理性也不得不予以称赞。本作就情怀而言，有相当多值得赞赏的地方，故事里积极安排新旧三代的角色的互动，作为粉丝向的作品已经相当合格，当然就一个单独的美少女游戏来说确实素质一般。这里还是希望frontwing后续作品不要继续过度消费粉丝的情怀，认真地制作符合灰色系列质量的作品。 二、美术 　　本作美术资源的复用情况相当常见，但也新增了非常多的立绘和场景，质量一如既往地高（本人是渡边明夫老师的粉丝）。作品的美术风格整体上和系列作品在同一水准线，美术资源的投入量也很充足。 　　关于总体的原画质量，可以参见我上传社区的截图，本作有很多非常棒的角色立绘，也有很多新老角色同窗的场景。 三、音乐 　　基本使用灰色系列过去的音乐素材制作，新曲子不多，但质量很高，其中“二律背反”、“少女的烦恼”、“toHappy”等都是我很喜欢的曲子。灰色系列有太多我喜欢的旋律，希望后续还能给我带来惊喜。 四、系统 　　一如既往便利的系统，非常人性化的UI,这一点仍然保持了系列作品的高水准。这一部分可以说是无可指摘。

[h1]Grisaia Chronos Rebellion is a great game with a lot of weirdness. [/h1] After completing the main trilogy and the Phantom Trigger series, you want to see the interaction of all these characters. And partly Chronos Rebellion makes it possible to see it. But then you start to see more and more class D and you understand that the game is not about class A and class S at all. And at first it can cause dislike, but then you start to accept this fact, after which you start to be interested in the new plot of the game. Okay, the game isn’t completely about class D… sometimes we can see missions and chapters with classes A and S. Still, the new class D turned out to be not very interesting, but more annoying. And their interaction with other classes is rather strange. And I really wanted to see more Slice of Life moments along with the A and S classes. In addition to this, a lot of plot facts infuriates me personally. [b]WARNING, SPOILERS ABOVE! [/b] How did the f***ing Flan hit the target from two kilometers when she was completely useless before? And after that Colonel says that the enemy team has a legendary sniper like Asako... No, Colonel, they don't have such a f***ing sniper, it's a story power. Thus, the developers simply humiliated Asako and Yuuji, putting the idiot bum Flan on a par with them. I hate the fact that Arata was able to defeat Haruto. How could the weak bum Arata do this? Haruto was a gigachad with a sword that could take out crowds of enemies with ease. And now a single opponent with a pistol stepped out in front of him… Yes, Arata had PeTS, but it's not strong enough to counter Haruto. We also need to remember the fact that Arata wasn't on active duty at that moment, which means he was weaker than before. Haruto apparently defeats Arata. I'll say more, Aoi Haruto defeats the entire class D alone without any difficulty. And it hurt me to read how Haruto loses to the weak Arata. I don't like that they weakened Rena, who just dealt with strong opponents quite quickly, but when it came to Serika with a shield, everything immediately went slowly. Rena can take down Serika in one minute and go to help Haruto. And in the game you can see a lot of such weakening of the characters. But L, on the contrary, was strengthened. She couldn't do anything before, but when the plot needed it, she turned into a soldier who could defeat anyone. And in general, the design of L and its character pisses me off. R is a much nicer character. And in general, the whole class D is annoying, but therefore you just accept this fact and stop swearing because of it. In general, it's like watching a typical plot with a new generation, and the authors begin to greatly underestimate the old characters to show new ones. And this turn of events annoys you. Well, I have no particular complaints about all sorts of fantastic oddities at the end of the game. Well, that's cool and weird. And one more thing... I feel like the main characters at the end of the game infiltrated the Cindereon base too easily. These villains are going to take over the whole world, but in the end they couldn’t cope with four of our heroes (assuming that these heroes are weak.) Yes, on the ship, the main characters could fight back with the help of the rest of the guys from class S and a few others, but after the destruction of the ship class D was left alone along with R (and even L did not help at that time). And… I mean... entrust the destruction of the base of some terrible and powerful villain to classes D and S? Class D already has a bad reputation, and Ichiru Sengoku knows quite a bit about class S, so there shouldn't be much trust either. Yes, class D forced Ichiru to make concessions, but it could have been done differently. Then again, they could have at least sent Class A to help. (during the battle only Haruto suffered, but the rest could well help). Yes, it was said that class A was sent to help, but they took too long to get there... But the ending after saving Yuuji made me cry. It was really good. After completing the main trilogy and Phantom Trigger, you remember the whole path that the Grisaia universe has gone through. You are shown old art with the music from the very first opening, and such a warm ending leaves you with pleasant emotions and feelings. [b]END OF SPOILERS[/b] In the end, I still want to praise the developers for the work. The game has many new characters with a new storyline. It obviously took a lot of time and effort. And in the end, even despite a bunch of minuses, you remember the whole story you went through and rejoice that you had the opportunity to read it. The characters and events evoked emotions. Yes, sometimes they weren't very pleasant, but they didn't leave you indifferent, which means they fulfilled their role in the game. [b]Thanks to the Frontwing team for the Grisaia Chronos Rebellion.[/b]

Kazami Yuuji needs to come beat up this beta cuck MC

TL:DR - Yes, play it. it's not the best VN out there, but it's not a waste of time and there is some uniqueness that you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere. - (this is a spoiler free review but I do mention how the plot/story intertwines with stuff in the game but not the contents of the actual plot so don't be alarmed if I mention anything about the plot!) - This review ended up coming out in a negative light but that wasn't really my intention. I want you to know before hand that I recommend this and what I mention are just nitpicks or just story beats that I explained in an awful way that came across negative. In the end I think that Grisaia is great despite it's faults. Even though I have a few mixed feelings on this novel, I am a huge fan of the Grisaia Series and want to spread it to as many people as possible, as I think it deserves more attention even with some of it's faults. As I was sitting here writing and deleting and trying again I just couldn't find a good way to go about how I feel about the game. As obvious from the positive recommendation I enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone reading this review. (although if you haven't read the previous games [Fruit-Labyrinth-Eden-Phantom Trigger Vol 1-6] you will be severely lost so I recommend you check those out if you haven't already) I think what is stopping me from doing a normal review is the ending. STOP!!! now don't immediately think it has a bad ending a leave, because that's not true. Both the ending for the main plot (Class D) as well as the sub plot (Class S) are good and I did enjoy them but I think the game ended without doing some things that I hoped it would do. Now some of these were false hopes that I knew weren't going to happen but others I felt, while not necessary, would have been great plot points, character interactions, and overall would have made for an even more interesting experience. So what I'm left with is slight disappointment and a yearning for more. More specifically, Class S, the original cast of the first 3 novels. Since they were the sub plot of this story they got less screen time then the character of the main plot (Class D) which is fine. After all that is the main plot and Class S is the sub plot. (specifically around 10-15 hours of the experience was Class S while the rest was Class D). This is a hard topic to really talk about though because the plot/objective of Class S is intertwined with that of Class Ds. So technically Class S's plot progresses with Class D's plot but that's also false. Because even when something progresses in Class D's story, that doesn't necessarily equal progression in Class S's. Due to the nature of Class S's objective/goal while they can make progress in certain ways there is no concrete jumping from hurtle to hurtle that makes it obvious that they ARE progressing. Even though they technically are just by Class D literally existing. It's less them actively working towards the goal and more them stopping the trophy at the end from being obliterated by nuke. Due to this, Class S only really appears when they are needed in the story (so basically when Class D is in need of help). So due to THAT, Class S doesn't get much time at all for themselves (with exception near the end of the story when Class D's story is finished). So by the time Class D's story is done there isn't much time left for them. It's finally time for our lovely Class S to shine....... for less than half of the 10-15 hours of screen time they get. Don't get me wrong they had great moments during the main story but that was them assisting the main cast with their objective (even though it was just to protect their own) but now it's THEIR story. AND HERE is where my problems lie... There wasn't enough time for Class S. Those last few hours were amazing and is (in my opinion) the greatest example of what makes Grisaia great! It's not that the time before this was bad or didn't get it right. It had it's moments and again overall was a good experience worth your time. But there is something that comes out of the writing when the story is focused on Class S at the end that makes Grisaia truly Grisaia (at least in my opinion). I can't elaborate further without spoilers unfortunately so you'll have to take my word for it when I say. Even with all my complains I have written so far, I am very happy that I have read this and recommend it. Earlier in my review I said that I was disappointed and was yearning for more. while technically those are negatives, I don't view them as such. I see it as they have hooked me so well that I can't have enough. while it's true that at least a bit more would have been nice (specifically showing a bit more after the end credits roll a.k.a what they are doing now and what they are going to do) those are TECHNICALLY unnecessary and the story doesn't need them to be good or complete. If you somehow read through this horrific review, first of thank you for giving me some of your time, and second please give this a try. Especially if you are a fan of the girls from S Class, while they technically get shafted by the main story by being the sub plot, they still pop their heads in and light up the room every once in a while. enough to be worth your time and I promise you will enjoy those times. (as long as you aren't a complete Michiru hater like so many are) Edit: v.02 - Updated review with better grammar (Still not perfect, but better than before) - Broke up the huge paragraph into easier to read chunks - Removed stupid money to play time ratio ($1=1 hr/$40=40hrs)

灰色系列的融合产品？把两代主角团硬是套一起了，其实这也没什么，只是为什么要用绝症进冷冻仓这种设定？雄二你好惨啊，好不容易能过上没羞没臊的后宫生活，这下又要来活了......

Uhm, this review is going to be a tough one. tl;dr - I have mixed feelings about the game, and would recommend it only to people who liked both original trilogy and Phantom Trigger. I also would ask you to lower your expectations quite a bit. I'd say it's 6.5/10, which means it's my least loved Grisaia of them all. But I am still glad it exists. Disclaimer: Chronos Rebellion is a spin-off of Grisaia series, featuring the original cast as well as new characters, so it is impossible to write the review without mentioning the first trilogy, the second installation (Phantom Trigger) or comparing CR to those. The knowledge of these isn't necessary to understand the review, but the game is essentially a sequel (or sidequel) for both of the series. == Full review == Chronos Rebellion is a game with a twisted history, a game that itself rebelled against the universe laws, and leaped the time few years forward. You see, it used to be a gacha RPG for mobile phones released in 2020. Supposedly, it wasn't very successful, despite the influx of pre-registrations, as it suddenly was cancelled after running for just 9 months. The game was online-only, so back in 2021 I had my fears that its story will be lost forever when the servers were shut down. But Chronos Rebellion somehow survived. The complicated history of release and development certainly affected the quality of the resulting game and its standing among other Grisaia novels, though. To understand how, a brief look at the game's origins is a must. The first Grisaia game, Fruit of Grisaia, was released in 2011, with major sequels following in 2012 and 2013. Praised as a god-tier game, it was re-released multiple times (with and without H-scenes) and eventually translated to English. While the mood and the topics of the novel evolved with each new chapter, it still maintained a strong humanistic core and a questionable desire to explore human lust (though arguably in a more tame way compared to studio's other god-tier-game, SubaHibi). The second Grisaia installation, Phantom Trigger, began in 2014. Shock and horror, it did not feature the characters from the original trilogy, nor it contained any H-scenes. Instead, PT is just focusing on the very same humanistic core, perhaps getting the Labyrinth's ideas and developing them even further. Another change brought by PT is lack of branching narrative; each character is getting their own chapter and plenty of screen time, and you can tell this approach has pros and cons; you're bound to be interested in some of the chapters more than in the others. The game was released in multiple "volumes", between 2014 and 2022, with production quality generally staying consistent or increasing between the volumes. And now, Chronos Rebellion. It is hard to tell for an outsider when exactly it was conceived, and what place it meant to have in Grisaia universe, but we do know that it was first planned to be released in 2019. That places the game some 6 years after the completion of the original trilogy, and somewhere in the middle between Grisaia PT vol.6 and vol.7. That in turn means that CR is bound to have a tight link with the events of Fruit/Labyrinth/Eden, but doesn't share DNA with Phantom Trigger beyond common lore, as the latter (and meatier) chunks of Phantom Trigger surely weren't fleshed out yet. But while Chronos Rebellion is leveraging characters from the original trilogy much more than characters from the Phantom Trigger, it does the opposite with the narrative. Chronos Rebellion, at heart, is much closer to Phantom Trigger. No narrative branching, clear-cut (even if not labelled) character arcs, and - yes, you know it - the same core of "is it okay for me to live?" of children of war. Because of that, I feel like people who really liked Phantom Trigger will enjoy Chronos Rebellion somewhat more than those who prefer Fruit&Eden. So far we have determined that Chronos Rebellion is, indeed, a Grisaia game. But is it good? Well, it could have been a brilliant sequel. It could have, if only it had the budget and the full attention of developers. But the art style is inconsistent across the game, the writing and the pace is all over the place. Some arcs are clearly overwritten, and some direly need more writing, world-building and so on. The game doesn't shy to borrow assets from previous games, be it music, character sprites or backgrounds, and that also feels cheap, especially when those contrast with never arts. But you know what? If the choice was "this Chronos Rebellion or no Chronos Rebellion", I'll take this one, please. Actually, can I have two so I can give one to my friend? Because as things stand, it is still a solid visual novel, and it feels more shallow and less polished only compared to Fruit or Phantom Trigger. == Subjective notes after finishing the novel == Original cast: BIG YAY. The VA and the story related to the original cast are pretty great. New girls: small yay. I liked most of the new characters. But there's so many characters in the series, some of them start to look too similar to each other. PT cast: mixed feelings. I think CR makes a disservice to Phantom Trigger main cast, but does a very good job expanding the lore of the SORD. Art: mixed feelings. I prefer the style of PT over original Grisaia, but I didn't like that the new cast is overly sexualised. I don't know if CR was planned to be an eroge - after all, another Frontwing's Grisaia gacha, Barcarolla, has plenty H-scenes. Music: Good. Elements garden (I assume they did new tracks this time, too?) did a good job here. Though I wish there was a vocal track for this game. Plot: mixed feelings. Too predictable and too anime-like at times, with a fair deal of uncalled-for super-hero feats and deus exes. The pacing is off, and there's too little philosophy involved to my liking. The grand finale is palatable, though it is a bit random and silly.
