I finished the game, finally. Pretty damn fucking good.
I can't say it exactly lived up to my expectations (which were sky-high anyway given everything people say about Terra) but this is something I could definitely recommend to anyone, the bad parts of the game aside. It has a sort of ambition that I rarely see in fiction, even if it doesn't quite pull it off. That alone makes it special. Also, Creamy☆Kagarin spinoff when? |

Euh..guys? I've just finished Moon route and I can't understand anything that has happened concerning
Spoiler:
Will it be explained further in Terra route or should I replay it all over again? not that it would make much difference though... I think.

Ho, finally some activities again

I feel like the finale is not as powerful as Clannad/LB in term of emotional level, even though the buildup is pretty good. I always get the feeling that Key can do better on some parts (CG variety, some sprites, etc), but....orz The soundtrack is pretty awesome though, replacing Clannad in my list. Quote:

I can't complain too much though, as the game is above and beyond anything else this company has ever developed. Not that I'm calling Clannad bad or anything. Quote:

I understand that she's not exactly popular though, perhaps because of that. |

What are some of the specific instances in which its used poorly? Because, while I was going through the entire VN, the music stood out to me since it was so good and I always read the text with the music in mind. And I can't think of any specific instances in which I felt the music to be that much off from the text (though, I did feel that the music fit some places really well).

Again, the music is fantastic. There just aren't enough tracks for a game this long and complicated. |

I think the music also has some instances where it doesn't feel that they used the right track for the right moment. I remember that there's some part in the beginning where the event seems thrilling but the music didn't change from the usual calm tone.

Speaking of Lucia, Key really knows how to make excellent sword-wielding girls with "jumbo boobs", as Kotarou puts it. Both Kurugaya and Lucia are favorite heroines in their respective VNs, and I wouldn't be surprised to see another sword wielding heroine in the next VN. |

Oh and I finally finished Terra route... how to say this, I got the feeling that there's something incomplete when I read it. It's not about the plot but more to the characters in that route. I feel like I couldn't project my feelings enough to each character except Kotarou to make me actually feels something to them. ..it's kinda hard to explain Spoiler:

In fact, you can say that Mai, Yuiko and Lucia are basically covering your usual 3 typical profiles for sword wielding girls.

Yeah, I feel that pretty much all of Terra, actually, could have been expanded on a lot, although their relationship is one of the big things that needed, well, more. |

I am probably a bit late asking this but:
How was the "journey" for you all? Did you feel satisfied? Or did you feel the "moonwalker" could've dropped off somewhere different and more to your liking? (side note: My favorite track in all of Rewrite is Journey)

As of the track "Journey" itself, I like it (I tend to leave the game running and stuck on title screen just for looping this) and I think it pretty much represent what the whole game is about . My most favorite tracks are 散花(Sanka)/Scattered Flower and Scene Shifts There, and one of the crime for Terra is how each of them only get used once (the former even being used for something not so powerful scene, compared with the one used in Lucia's route). I do have other tracks that I like, though I forgot some of their names . |

One observation I have of the heroine themes is that, with the exception of Kotori and Kagari, all of them feature only on the common route. The game shifts straight into another genre in the heroine routes where use of the music would be inappropriate. (Though Sizuru's endng theme is linked to hers)
In fact, one can even divide the soundtrack into "common route" and "not-Common route" sides, as one would never hear, for example, Phobia in the former, or DIS IS A PAIN in the latter. (Did anyone manage to make a mix from Yoshino's lines using Akane's machine?)
