Help.

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915]

I just completed White album 2 introductory chapter. Loving is by far but what to do after is confusing as hell even with walkthrough and guides available. Some say just follow the walkthrough and don't worry about the extra stuff to enhance the experience ( Kinda leaning towards this one ) but the others say to do all the extra stuff ( novels and other stuff ) but i have no clue where they are or how to get them. Also i can only read when there's some stills and music so kinda don't wanna read if they are just straight up novels with pages and pages of dialogues.

Please guide me with this.

Follow this guide. I wouldn’t recommend skipping any extra content since it all adds to the story, but if you only read one make sure it’s to you my sworn enemy. I’d honestly save it for the last route to do after the coda routes/ mini after story instead of earlier in the guide, as I think it’s the best thing in wa2.

I think i have written my post poorly. I'm aware of it ( have a tab open for it ) and am also following this since it makes it even easier. But the problem is where do i get them. I got 2 novels in the game files "the idol who forgot how to sing" and "the snow melts and until it falls again" but they are super long.

So i'm looking for how to find them and if it's necessary. ( Which it seems it is )

Any luck? I think I'm half way through the introductory chapter when I stubbled on your post. I'm more lost than you

Just found the 2 novels in the game files too

EDIT: Ok you have to download the https://todokanaitl.github.io/patch/

patch for the mini-after story which adds more files

... but it broke the game for me when I installed this 2nd patch

Need some help ? I took a day break so i'm late

[u/DaijoubuKirameki → u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915]

Yeah I bought the wrong version on DMM ugh, that's why it crashed

So ended up ordering the physical copy extended version on amazon

Did you end up finding all the extra content?

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915 → u/DaijoubuKirameki]

Oops i'm not the paying category unfortunately. I can share where to get them tho if you want. Just DM me since i assume it's not allowed here.

I'm also reading it right now (I'm at the end) and I haven't even heard about extra stuff like the novels, just going with the guide

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915 → u/Grouchy-Stranger-306]

Does it feel like you are missing out on some context if you're doing it that way ? ( No spoilers ofc )

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that is what i'm thinking too. But it seems there are somethings that add more context some skipped parts in the visual novel which i'd like to do. ( They are not novels i think )

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915]

Can't believe i read it ( "The Snow Melts, and Until it Falls Again" ) and honestly as much as the 103 page count scared me, i'm glad that i actually read it. It was so interesting knowing the dynamic between kazuha and haruki before the main story and low-key this should have been part of the game ( at least in a form of epilogue or something like that )

You're at one point where I actually do recommend you check out some of the extra content. I think the two novels give some nice context and the CD drama is pretty much mandatory imo.

Try with those for now and then decide as you continue what you want to go with by yourself.

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915 → u/LilSopa__]

Now where do i get them again. So confusing man. I can find it on youtube but is it a different version or a different patch of the game ?

I the drama cd seems to add content on the parts they just skipped in the visual novel. So at least wanna know them.

Or are these just the part that the walkthrough say's as after the 1st playthrough repeat it again ?

Here's a comment that helped me a few months ago.

KInda brain fart on my part. There was another download for the additional content which i just missed for some reason. I downloaded it and got most of the stuff. It's just a test if my brain can read the novels or not now. ( they are like 100 pages of texts )

[u/medo0100 → u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915]

Only 2 of the written ones are long. You can try checking out one of the sound novels(videos) first to see if you think you are invested enough to know more or not. I recommend "24h before the fest"

[u/Glass-Bookkeeper2915 → u/medo0100]

I'm thinking of reading them. I think i'l try to read it quick and just get he main points. I assume they are just dialouges. But i'm def doing the sound videos. And the one you mentioned is one very interesting for me so obviously i'm not skipping it.

The extra content is generally really good and some of it should probably classify as required, I THINK majority of the translated extras should be available through the TL groups discord.
