SyHaqi said: Buy the original one, instead of Elite, as elite cuts some of the content. Also, the VN definitely has more content than the anime, as you get inner dialogues, too. But, for non-canon stories and alternate endings, you'll need to buy elite.Guys, I need some help. I want to start playing the VNs. Which one should I buy?

| i highly recommend you the original one, actually there is a bundle with s;g 0. if you watched the anime and didnt actually like 0, VN might change your mind, because it is way better, have much more content and characters are developed better, has very well written endings and such. for the matter of which to buy elite or og, elite only better comparing in graphics, cuz animation was took from anime. but og has more interaction, more scenes and the plot is perceived easier and better |
| I also recommend the original one. Also if you can, obtain it from Steam and install the Committee of Zero patch, which corrects translation errors, puts subtitles to the openings and endings, translates the texts on the CGs, and applies a nicer font. However, I must mention if you are interested in VNs, that Steins;Gate is just Part 2 of a longer story called Science Adventure (starting with Chaos;Head and ending with Anonymous;Code at the moment). I actually recommend the entire series, some entries are even better than Steins;Gate (this cannot be said about their anime adaptations though, don't touch those) A more detailed answer is here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2030839#msg66894896 |

Can you elaborate how storytelling is superior in Elite, when: - it cuts some of Okabe's internal monologues - it censores one of the endings - it cuts entire scenes from the original - it adds a Kurisu intermission scene which breaks the whole point of the og VN, that we see every event from Okabe's POV, since he is the lone observer I'm really curious how this can be superior in storytelling |

| Og hands down, it's not even up for debate. Playing the Vn and watching the anime is two completely different experiences. Don't ruin it by playing Elite which is just a watered down version of the anime. |

I own Elite just haven't played it. I bought it because I watched a youtube video explaining why it was the best experiecne and it sounded reasonable. The anime only adapts the true route from og. There is no "extra content" added. It has less content than the og. Elite also has less content than the og. |

| Buy the original don't buy Steins;Gate Elite. The original has a lot more to offer and is way better than Elite. |

Elite also has less content than the og. dude get off my ass. I was talking about the original content added to the main route in the anime. I've played all the routes in the og VN and they're good and great. But it was obvious that's not what i was referring to. As for Elite I just told you I haven't played it so I have no idea. Elite doesn't have the anime original content (the anime original content is nothing major though). The biggest change is about |
