Tsukihime

[Benoit]

And I also read that Tsukihime is no longer in print, and any money that is exchanged in buying and selling Tsukihime today no longer gets into Typemoon's pockets.

That's common and popular argument for pirating older stuff, however, what you forget is that by buying an older game from someone else, it still injects money in the video game economy. The seller can buy other things with his money.

Unless he goes and buys more used games from people who buy used games

Oh god, I finish the game with Arcueid true ending today and I felt like crap after. It is just too sad. That sentence

Spoiler:

Goodbye. ...I had a lot of fun too

totally killed me. I hate bittersweet endings but at the same time I like it.

Even though the good ending made up for it, the true ending is how it is suppose to end. Now every time I listen to track7, my memory of the last scene in Arcueid true ending resurfaces and I feel depress =/. Actually, it is more like ITS BRRRREEAAKING MMMYY HEAAARRRTTT.

Ah well, Now that I'm done with this, I want to know more about the maids - Kohaku and Hisui.

Most of the true endings are bittersweet endings. The good or normal endings generally aren't quite as heart-wrenching as the true endings, although Akiha's normal ending is very sad as well. Maybe it's because I was already spoiled by the anime, but I find that Arcrueid's arc is my least favourite (so far, I still have to finish Hisui's good ending, and Kohaku's ending).

[KaneDragon]

I end up doing everything half-baked, so I doubt I'm going to get anything besides a normal ending. I'm trying for Ciel first, but it's all about the Arc at the moment... I guess I'll go ahead and let Arc rape me for now. :3

And, ha. Nero is indeed badass in the game. I'm surprised Shiki managed to put up with so much nibbling.

Okay, I resolved it, basicaly it's a bug in the game's flowchart.

I just have Kohaku path to finish now, but I will take my time and savor it.

I finally finished the game. Man, it was awesome. The story was pretty happy at the Near side of the Moon, but once we get into Akiha, Hisui and Kohaku... my heart broke little by little until Kohaku.

I'm taking a break from sad stories for a few weeks.

Thanks Mirror Moon and Type-Moon for allowing me the opportunity to play one of the greatest games, novels, stories, forms of entertainment of my life.

Eclipse (final epilogue after finishing the game) was really touching.

[Grenthal]

Just finished the game - got some question though.. why does Shiki (the evil one) / Roa look different in main route (Aruceid / Ciel) than in back routes (Hisui, Akiha, Kohaku)?. Any clues ?

Spoiler:

Probably because the the real Tohno Shiki is possessed by Roa in Arc's and Ciel's storyline, whereas there is no indication that he has been possessed by Roa in the Dark Side storylines (maybe in Akiha's arc it is mentioned, but I don't remember all the details).

[Jump]

Spoiler:

In one of the dead ends, it is mentioned that in the Near Side, SHIKI Tohno is posessed more by Roa tha not, so Roa's fashion sense stands out more. But in the Far Side, it's SHIKI's will who stands out more, so his fashion stands out better.

Spoiler:

There's another one if you click on the line above "Start Game". Apparently one of the staff members is a fan of Suzumiya Haruhi.

After getting my heart broken again by the Hisui route (now I am preparing for the Kohaku route), I have forgotten the details as to why Hisui became emotionless. I still remember the main event as to why she turn that way but I think it is because I kinda raced through the story that I have forgotten the details.

Spoiler:

I know Hisui became that way after Shiki was killed by SHIKI. What I have forgotten was what made her think (after that event) got her to turn "emotionless". Was it self quilt? She blamed herself for what happen?

On a unrelated note, anybody know the font that mirror moon used?

[BettiePage]

I have all the true & good/normal endings.

Did the eclipse short...

still missing the very last image for Ciel in her graphics section.

Does anyone recall how to get it?

I remember, though it makes me sad... At the beginning of chapter 11 (I think it was 11) you have to allow Kohaku to bring you a meal.

[BettiePage]

Thanks that worked.

[NoSanninWa]

I've got a question about the translation. In this game two names are translated as Shiki and SHIKI. Could someone tell me how these differed in the original Japanese? Is one in kanji while the other is in romanji or something?

志貴（The main character) vs 四季 (sometimes シキ）
