Twelve espers with superhuman powers brought together on a floating ship by a mysterious multinational entity known only as The World... Their story together may have ended, but their own are just beginning. Past, present, and future converge in Norn9: Last Era’s three different story modes, including explorations of the characters’ pasts before their lives together on the ship, retellings of the events of Norn9: Var Commons from new perspectives, and tales taking place after the events of the first game.

Overall, I think Norn9: Last Era is a surprising improvement in some respects to its predecessor: offering new perspectives on the original’s storylines and showing detailed consequences for its many routes. It doesn’t necessarily fix problems Norn9: Var Commons has, but it elaborates on the inherent potential sometimes lost in the original game.

Norn9: Last Era is a fandisk that nicely expands on the narrative. Still, if you did not enjoy Norn9: Var Commons, then you’ll find it very hard to enjoy Last Era, and it becomes clear that the targeted audience for this title is clearly those who have already consumed Norn9 in some form of medium, be it the previous game or the anime. Some of the systems in the Western release also share the same issues, such as the awkward text lines, which diminish the experience a bit. Furthermore, half of the content that’s available just isn’t up to snuff when compared to other fandisk releases from Idea Factory.

Norn9: Last Era is a fantastic prequel and sequel to Norn9: Var Commons, giving you even more insight into your favorite boy’s life and thought process, with plenty more cute and romantic moments along the way.

Doordat Norn9: Last Era zo lang is, krijg je werkelijk een goeie grip op de bewegelijke relaties tussen de twaalf verschillende hoofdpersonages onderling. Je zult overladen worden met heel veel achtergrondinformatie, waardoor je een beter beeld krijgt van de sci-fi setting. Helaas werkt dit dan ook in het nadeel, als je puur alleen komt voor de fanservice. Het verhaal kan namelijk vrij lang, met name de veprlichte replude.
