Since game guides are about $20 dollars here in the US as well, and they often don't even come with bonus art pics like JP guides usually do, I'd say about $22 is very worth it.

I'm starting to think that if the seal really is weakening, since the Spirits' affection are all max towards him, why doesn't he just kiss them there and then? Theoretically, it should work, right?

Hmm ok. But is there another site selling it cheaper? (AmiAmi sells it at 2310 yen, which is more ex.)

2200 yen is the cheapest I've seen it so far.

Kind of hard to say when the book isn't even out yet. Eventhough usually it is not worth it for me, because it's not really an artbook but still primarily a guidebook how to get in in the routes and usually the cg's of the game are not even full page. Uusually there are character profiles and sketches though
The interviews and cast comments can be interesting, if you can read them

"You've talked about this game over and over!" (I only mentioned it to them today)
"Just wait for it to come in the mail!"
"It's probably on the truck right now!"
"Why would you drive all the way over there?!"
"I wish you'd show as much ambition with other things!" (ambition? really?)

By the time that little scene was over, I wasn't exactly in the best of moods.........why the heck they needed to throw a fit over something like that is beyond me and thus all the more frustrating.........

Me: Yeah, yeah. Deal with it. Wanna go shopping, mom?
Mom: Yes...?
Dad: Okay.jpg

Don't forget to look at the shipping charge. The Book is very heavy apparently, so the charge makes it more expensive. with FedEX on CDJapan, the book comes around to $42 or so, and with EMS it's even more expensive at around $50.

I know. But base price, 2200 yen is the cheapest I've seen it.

And even with the shipping charges, CD Japan is still cheaper than Ami Ami anyway.

Ooh, character profiles and sketches.

But is it something the limited edition of the game doesn't have already?

I don't know about you, but 690g doesn't seem too heavy to me. And I'll be shipping it with a bunch of other stuff, so...

hyl · 2013-06-30, 16:07

That's why i said "usually", because that is pretty common in japanese videogame guide books and i apparently seem to own lots of those after opening my old closet for storing older things that i forgot about it

Tohka Route Part 5 (6/30)

Spoiler:

Shidou is woken up by Kotori, who has some information to tell him. Regarding what happened at the monument, she expains that the "Angel" he saw was more than likely the work of a Spirit. What they encountered was something similar to a Golem or Guardian that you would see in an RPG Game. What that "Guardian" was doing was trying to protect that Monument. When they analyzed the Monument, they started to look for similar patterns, and detected that whatever power used at the monument was also used in the Tenguchi incident as well. Whatever the case, both incidents are indeed related. She warns Shidou that those incidents are now part of her responsibilities, and that Shidou's responsibility is only the Dates he has to do with the others. She also warns him to report anything else that's strange, and that he shouldn't do anything reckless. Shidou wants to do something, but Kotori warns him that he's no longer invulnerable. So once again, she tells him not to do anything reckless.

At breakfast, Kotori and Yoshino are there, except Tohka isn't around, as well as Rinne. Shidou tells Kotori that Tohka has been learning how to cook, much to her surprise. At School, Shidou bumps into Origami by accident, and apologizes. Shidou finds Tohka and has brought her food, but Tohka doesn't want it. Claiming a lady doesn't get hungry...but her stomach apparently disagrees with that remark. Shidou continues to try and give it to her, but she knocks it away. She apologizes for what she did.

At Lunch time, Shidou looks for Tohka, but can't find her anywhere. When he asks Tama-chan, she tells him that Tohka wasn't feeling well, and went to see Murasame-sensei in the Nurse's office. Shidou runs to the Nurse's office and finds Reine there. She calms him down by hugging him (and he goes face first into her boobs), and tells him that Tohka just left. When he asks why she didn't tell him anything, she responds that Tohka didn't want to worry him. Also, it seems that whenever she's with Shidou, her stress seems to go up. Shidou doesn't understand what's going on. Reine explains that perhaps those who love one another may sometimes not want the other to get into trouble. Which leads to them acting in strange ways to protect them. They love them, but at the same time may bring harm to them. And since Tohka is a Spirit, this could be what's going through her mind. She tells him that he should've realized it by now, and that it's up to him to decide what happens next. Shidou thanks Reine for the advice and leaves.

After School, Shidou visits the shopping district and sees Tohka. He follows her into a Noodle Shop and tries speaking with her, but she seems distracted. She's wondering if it's ok to eat the food there, but remembers when she refused Shidou's lunch box earlier and whether or not he will forgive her. She decides to eat the bowl of food anyway. When she goes outside the shop, Shidou is waiting for her. But before she says anything, she runs away.

When Shidou gets home, he decides to go talk with Tohka. He knocks on her door, but she tells him to leave her alone. Right now, she doesn't want to see him. Shidou wonders if he did anything wrong, but Tohka says he hasn't. Later that night, Shidou goes to the park where he and Tohka played at, and soon after, Tohka shows up. Rinne told her that Shidou would be there. Tohka asks Shidou what does he think about Rinne, and he responds that she's just his childhood friend. Tohka is surprised and asks why Rinne isn't his ideal wife. She explains that back when they were talking about marriage, Rinne was supposed to be his ideal wife according to Tonomachi.

(This next part I could be mistaken on since it was mostly Shidou talking)

Shidou tells Tohka that the only person he wishes to be with is Tohka. And that tomorrow, he wants to take her out on another date. She agrees to it.

In his room later that night, Rinne comes in. She asks Shidou if he's finally made his decision. She asks if he plans on choosing Tohka, and when he says that he will, she understands his decision. She asks Shidou to make her a promise however, that no matter what happens, he'll hold Tohka dear to him, and no matter what happens, to never let her go. She asks Shidou to please make this promise with her, not only for Tohka's sake, but otherwise, she'll never be able to let go of Shidou's heart. Shidou makes the promise with Rinne. She tells him to never forget or break the promise either, otherwise, he'll be in trouble. But she's sure that even then, Shidou will be fine. Shidou wonders what she could possibly mean, but suddenly, everything starts to get blurry and Rinne vanishes. Shidou wonders if maybe he was just imagining things, and then goes to sleep.

Ending 1:

Spoiler:

Ending 2:

Spoiler:

Shidou answers the phone. Kotori tells her that the enemy has appeared at Shin Tengu Tower. When Shidou asks more about it, his vision gets blurry and a strange feeling comes over him, similar to when Rinne disappeared. Kotori asks if he's fine, but he says he is. Kotori explains that they investigated the monument Shidou was at, and found another monument that was similar at the area where they investigated the Tenguchu. They found what appeared to be signals forming a Triangle, and the 3rd spot is Shin Tengu Tower. (Need clarification on this explanation) Within this barrier, Consciousness, Memory, Land, and Buildings, everything could be manipulated. (Again, need someone else to confirm this) Kotori asks if Tohka is with him. She asks that Shidou and Tohka be their backup in case something happens, but to not do anything reckless. Afterwards, Shidou returns to Tohka and apologizes since they have to end their date. When Tohka asks why, he begins to explain, but Tohka cuts him off and says for them to go help.

Shidou and Tohka, who's now wearing her Astral Dress appear at Shin Tengu Tower. Kotori calls and informs him they're having trouble on their end getting into the tower. Shidou decides to enter, and Tohka goes as well, however, after a few steps, they're put in that other dimension again. This time however, the Spirit that's been appearing in Shidou's dreams shows up instead. Tohka asks her to identify herself, but she responds that This Ending is not what anyone else has wished for. At this rate, her Objective will come to an end. (Not sure what she said here, so for now, think of this as a placeholder)

Tohka sees that she's also a Spirit just like her and the others. The Spirit calls herself Ruler, and that she's the Savior of the World, and the Bringer of Paradise. Therefore, she wishes for them to disappear. She shoots an Energy Ball at them, but Tohka blocks the attack. She continues to block, but the energy is very strong. Ruler fires multiple shots this time, and Tohka is defeated. Before she fires at Shidou, she tells him Goodbye, and this time, to have a pleasant dream. She then fires at him. She tells Shidou that this time, he should keep his promise.

Shidou wakes up in his room at night breathing heavily. He thinks to himself that it was all just a dream and decides to go back to sleep.

Wait, wait, wait..... Did the game really go from

Spoiler:

If that was the case, DANG. That escalated hella quick. However, I AM happy for Tohka.

On the other note, Tohka's route was a bit quicker than I had thought it was going to be. I guess it's because Tohka has already established a somewhat "positive" relationship with Shidou, no?

Hope Kurumi's route is more complicated. I wanna see some CHALLENGES for Shidou.

Note: The Starting Point for the Routes is when you're finally able to go to the Town Map for the first time. So anything before then, just check the beginning parts of the summary. Since to get to Kurumi's route you need to go a small bit into Kotori, I've labeled it as Kotori/Kurumi Route. That way I don't have to go back and write the same stuff all over again when I write up Kotori's summary.

Here are the first 2 Introduction Summaries:

Kotori/Kurumi Route Part 1 - 6/26

Spoiler:

Shidou's at school and wonders if he should ask Kotori out on a date. He calls her on the phone, but she doesn't answer. He decides to look in the nurse's office. There, he finds Kotori and Reine together. Apparently she forgot her phone back at home. When she inquires about why he's here, he invites her out on a date. Kotori starts to get flustered, and asks why he's asking her out. Shidou explains that she's also a Spirit. Reine agrees that Shidou is right. Kotori refuses and tells Shidou not to worry about her, and to focus more on the others instead. Though Reine and Shidou both try to convince her, she still refuses and asks Shidou to leave.

Later that night, Kotori returns home. She asks where's everybody else, and Shidou explains that they left already. She wants to know how things went with the Dates, but Shidou tells her that he didn't go on any. Kotori calls him an idiot, and continues to talk about his responsibilities, but Shidou cuts her off and tells her that she's part of it too. Kotori calls him a useless siscon. As she eats dinner, she asks why he keeps staring at her, and that it's making it hard for her to eat. Shidou remembers back to a time where she would always love her Onii-chan's cooking. She responds that she didn't love it, but rather she had to eat it, though, she does admit that she does enjoy eating it.

When Kotori asks about where everyone went to, he tells her how they're all going to go out and look for the Tenguchu. Kotori refuses to go, but eventually agrees after Shidou taunts her about being afraid of the dark. Kotori tells him that if anything happens, he has to accept responsibility and protect her. Tohka and Yoshino show up since they're all prepared to go now.

That night, Shidou, Tohka, Origami, Rinne, Kotori and Yoshino are out, and they're waiting on Tonomachi. Kotori (wearing white ribbons) wants to go home. Shidou starts teasing her if she's afraid, but Kotori says she isn't since she's not a kid anymore. Rinne warns Shidou not to tease Kotori so much. Origami, watching everything, says she's scared...so she clings to Shidou. Tohka wants her to back off, but Origami says she's so afraid that she can't, which leads to Tohka clinging to Shidou also claiming to be scared. Shidou eventually pushes them both off. Since they're still waiting, Rinne asks if maybe they should all do something since everyone is out. Tohka brings out some Kebabs she bought earlier and says they should all eat. Rinne thinks it's a good idea, so she brings out some food she brought along. Yoshino even has some things she brought to eat, hoping to get along better with Shidou since she's feeling a bit lonely. Shidou brought some cake along, while Kotori...brought lollipops.

Some time has passed, but Tonomachi still hasn't shown up. Yoshinon thinks he may have gotten lost, while Origami says he may have been spirited away by the Tenguchi. Kotori starts to get even more scared, so Shidou decides to look for him. As Shidou calls out to Tonomachi, he starts to hear some noises and begins getting scared himself. When he hears a voice, Kotori suddenly appears. (wearing black ribbons) She tells him that he's supposed to protect her, and is mad that he went off leaving her. Shidou apologizes, and Kotori tells him to take responsibility for it. Shidou wonders if she's really that scared, but Kotori says she isn't. When they hear a noise, Kotori suddenly screams and clings on to him. Kotori is frightened and shaking while clinging on to him, so to calm her down, he pats her on the head and talks to her. Tohka calls out to Shidou and Kotori quickly pushes him away. Since Shidou was taking so long, and Kotori suddenly disappeared, everyone was worried and started looking for them. Everyone decides to go back.

On the way back, Shidou continues to call out to Tonomachi. Tonomachi is nearby, and hears someone calling for him, but then he suddenly hears a noise. When he looks into it he hears a growl and starts to run away while screaming. He runs into Shidou and tells him about what he's heard, and tells him that he's going home, and Shidou should do the same. Kotori and Yoshino are both very scared now. Everyone starts to hear the growl, and eventually they hear a splash in the water and an even louder growl. Tohka is excited since they believe they found the Tengushi, Origami is...Origami, Kotori passes out while Rinne catches her, and Yoshino is so scared that she's created icicles around her. The creature known to be as the "Tenguchi" however all of a sudden disappears.

As everyone tries to figure out what happened, Shidou spots a famliar figure in the distance - Kurumi. He runs after her and manages to catch up. She apologizes for ruining everyone's fun time, but she has to leave. Shidou asks for her to stop, but she apologizes once again since she doesn't want to bother Shidou. Kurumi disappears, and Shidou returns to check up on everyone.

With Kotori passed out, Shidou has returned to the Fraxinus to have her looked at. Reine says she's fine, but warns Shidou that he needs to be careful. Since the Spirits powers are unstable at the moment, he should be careful on what activities they do. They then talk about the Tenguchi, and wonder if it's the work of a Spirit. Kotori shows up which prompts Shidou to ask if she's ok. She's upset however since Shidou took everyone out late at night and put everyone in a situation where their powers could go out of control. Shidou apologizes. Since everything is fine for now, they both decide to go back home.

As Shidou sleeps, he sees the new spirit in his dream. She says that this is her wish. And that soon he's going to realize something, but as of now...

End of 6/26

The next morning, Rinne once again wakes and greets Shidou. She runs back to check on the food, but when she returns, Shidou is undressing causing her to scream. Everyone comes to see what's going on and catch a glimpse of Shidou in his undies. At breakfast, Shidou still seem to be having problems remembering Rinne, so he asks how did she and Tohka meet, and they both explain that they met at School. When asked about Yoshino, she explains that they both met outside since she lives in the house next door to Shidou. Since Rinne has morning practice, she leaves early. Everyone eats the food she made, and when Shidou comments on how good it is, Tohka wonders if he really likes girls that make good food.

At School, Tama-chan enters and announces today that everyone will participate in various sports activities. Shidou raises his hand and doesn't feel well, and asks to go to the Nurse's office. Tonomachi tries to pretend to be sick, so when Tama-chan offers to take him to the hospital, he claims to be fine all of a sudden. Tohka then tries to be sick as well...but blows it when she tells Tama-chan she wants to be with Shidou.

Near the end of School, everyone is attending various clubs. Tonomachi asks Shidou to go see one of the girl's sports clubs with him. They go to see Rinne playing Lacross. While watching, Tonomachi explains the rules of Lacross to Shidou since he doesn't know anything about it. When they start cheering for Rinne, Tama-chan who was nearby hears them. When she sees Tonomachi, she suggests going to the Nurse's Office since he felt so "sick" earlier. He tries to get out of it, but she takes him by force. Shidou remains and continues to cheer for Rinne, and her team ends up winning.

At Lunch, Shidou meets with Tohka, Origami, and Rinne for lunch. Origami tries to feed Shidou, but once again, Tohka gets jealous. They both end up feeding Shidou and Rinne has to step in when things go too far.

After School, Shidou wonders who he should ask out on a date. He goes to the roof and starts talking to the birds there. They suddenly fly away however, and Shidou hears someone giggling. When he turns around, he finds Kurumi there, who greets him. Shidou is a little worried, but Kurumi assures him that she isn't going to do anything to him. Shidou is still a little worried, so Kurumi asks him if he likes pigeons, since he seems to be friendly with them. Kurumi reaches her hand out to them, and Shidou wonders why they aren't afraid. She explains that animals aren't liars, and that they don't approach things that they don't like. If they like things, they like it, hate it and they hate it. If they want to eat, they eat. If they want something, they demand it. Not all of it may be nice however. Shidou asks if that's really true. Kurumi says it is, and that she really likes Shidou. Shidou gets flustered.

He questions her on why she eats other humans, but her response is that she's simply doing something that's natural. After all, Humans do eat other animals to survive as well. Shidou finds it hard to believe. Kurumi tells him that for her, Humans are difficult to understand and trust, though Shidou is an exception. However, there could be a time where they become natural enemies (she's referring to Spirits and Humans here). Kurumi notices the time and says it's time for her to go. Though, she wouldn't mind if some other time Shidou decides to accompany her. Though Shidou doesn't know her intentions, for now, he trusts her. She excuses herself for now, though she looks forward to meeting him again.

While Shidou is walking in a nearby neighborhood, he spots an abandoned cat. Kurumi appears and notices the cat. She tells Shidou he's a good person since he even worries about the animals. She talks about how animals can sense enemies based on the air around a person, and since Shidou seems to be good, they can feel it. She tells him that she's the same way. Since she and Shidou give out the same air around them, animals seem to like them. She asks Shidou what he thinks about her. He tells her that he'd be lying if he didn't find her to be scary. Though, he does think she's nice deep down. (I may be misunderstanding here). Kurumi responds that he's very optimistic, but also very gentle as well. And thinks that's a good thing about him. She bids Shidou farewell and leaves again.

At Home, Rinne prepares dinner for everyone, which turns out to be Nikujaga. Later that night, Shidou is in his room when Kotori comes in. The bath has been prepared, but unfortunately, there's no shampoo. Shidou apologizes since he was supposed to buy it. Kotori tells him to go to the convenience store and buy a bottle. On the way there, he runs into Kurumi again. He asks her why she's out at night, but she says it's a secret. Shidou starts to get worried, and Kurumi wonders if he thinks she's out to attack and eat people. Shidou doesn't think so however. Kurumi assures him she's not doing anything, but for now, she has to go. Since Kotori is waiting for him, Shidou buys the shampoo and goes home. Kotori can't be found anywhere, so he decides to put the shampoo in the bathroom, but when he opens the door, he finds Kotori undressing. Which of course, leads to him getting knocked out.

Shidou needs to talk with Kotori, so he tells her about meeting Kurumi today. She starts to worry about whether Shidou was attacked, but he tells her he's fine. She tells him to use caution since Kurumi is a dangerous Spirit, and she's also upset because now they have to deal with her as well. However, if Shidou were to seal Kurumi, then it's an opportunity they can't afford to miss. Unfortunately, since they're dealing with the Tenguchi incident, then for now, they'll have to pass. They talk more about the incident, but Kotori tells him not to worry about it, and for now, to continue dating the Spirits so that nothing happens to them.

As Shidou is about to sleep, he hears a loud noise, but instead goes to sleep. In his dream, the unidentified Spirit appears again. She says that she continues to watch. And that she won't let sorrow continue. When Shidou asks what she means, she responds that she doesn't need to explain, and that soon, Paradise will come for all.

End of 6/27

It might take longer for me to post Summaries for Kurumi. As I explained before, I mainly understand what's being said through the voiced dialogue. But since Kurumi speaks in a different way than everyone else, it's a little harder to understand her. I shouldn't have any problems, but don't be surprised if there are some mistakes every now and then.

Kurumi's route is next, and after Kurumi, I plan on doing Kotori's route. Hope you guys enjoyed Tohka's route. Remember to use spoiler tags so that people don't get spoiled in case they plan on playing the game.

Spoiler:

Ah, yes. I'm certain that Kurumi route is probably a pain in an arse to get the best ending. One single screw-up, you wouldn't earn your happy end. Well, uh... 'Nice Boat?' ending is what you would get?

Probably a "Oishii desu wa, Shidou-san ga...." *lick her lips*

Mystic_Vegetto Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Tohka Route Part 5 (6/30) Spoiler: Shidou is woken up by Kotori, who has some information to tell him. Regarding what happened at the monument, she expains that the "Angel" he saw was more than likely the work of a Spirit. What they encountered was something similar to a Golem or Guardian that you would see in an RPG Game. What that "Guardian" was doing was trying to protect that Monument. When they analyzed the Monument, they started to look for similar patterns, and detected that whatever power used at the monument was also used in the Tenguchi incident as well. Whatever the case, both incidents are indeed related. She warns Shidou that those incidents are now part of her responsibilities, and that Shidou's responsibility is only the Dates he has to do with the others. She also warns him to report anything else that's strange, and that he shouldn't do anything reckless. Shidou wants to do something, but Kotori warns him that he's no longer invulnerable. So once again, she tells him not to do anything reckless. At breakfast, Kotori and Yoshino are there, except Tohka isn't around, as well as Rinne. Shidou tells Kotori that Tohka has been learning how to cook, much to her surprise. At School, Shidou bumps into Origami by accident, and apologizes. Shidou finds Tohka and has brought her food, but Tohka doesn't want it. Claiming a lady doesn't get hungry...but her stomach apparently disagrees with that remark. Shidou continues to try and give it to her, but she knocks it away. She apologizes for what she did. At Lunch time, Shidou looks for Tohka, but can't find her anywhere. When he asks Tama-chan, she tells him that Tohka wasn't feeling well, and went to see Murasame-sensei in the Nurse's office. Shidou runs to the Nurse's office and finds Reine there. She calms him down by hugging him (and he goes face first into her boobs), and tells him that Tohka just left. When he asks why she didn't tell him anything, she responds that Tohka didn't want to worry him. Also, it seems that whenever she's with Shidou, her stress seems to go up. Shidou doesn't understand what's going on. Reine explains that perhaps those who love one another may sometimes not want the other to get into trouble. Which leads to them acting in strange ways to protect them. They love them, but at the same time may bring harm to them. And since Tohka is a Spirit, this could be what's going through her mind. She tells him that he should've realized it by now, and that it's up to him to decide what happens next. Shidou thanks Reine for the advice and leaves. After School, Shidou visits the shopping district and sees Tohka. He follows her into a Noodle Shop and tries speaking with her, but she seems distracted. She's wondering if it's ok to eat the food there, but remembers when she refused Shidou's lunch box earlier and whether or not he will forgive her. She decides to eat the bowl of food anyway. When she goes outside the shop, Shidou is waiting for her. But before she says anything, she runs away. When Shidou gets home, he decides to go talk with Tohka. He knocks on her door, but she tells him to leave her alone. Right now, she doesn't want to see him. Shidou wonders if he did anything wrong, but Tohka says he hasn't. Later that night, Shidou goes to the park where he and Tohka played at, and soon after, Tohka shows up. Rinne told her that Shidou would be there. Tohka asks Shidou what does he think about Rinne, and he responds that she's just his childhood friend. Tohka is surprised and asks why Rinne isn't his ideal wife. She explains that back when they were talking about marriage, Rinne was supposed to be his ideal wife according to Tonomachi. (This next part I could be mistaken on since it was mostly Shidou talking) Shidou tells Tohka that the only person he wishes to be with is Tohka. And that tomorrow, he wants to take her out on another date. She agrees to it. In his room later that night, Rinne comes in. She asks Shidou if he's finally made his decision. She asks if he plans on choosing Tohka, and when he says that he will, she understands his decision. She asks Shidou to make her a promise however, that no matter what happens, he'll hold Tohka dear to him, and no matter what happens, to never let her go. She asks Shidou to please make this promise with her, not only for Tohka's sake, but otherwise, she'll never be able to let go of Shidou's heart. Shidou makes the promise with Rinne. She tells him to never forget or break the promise either, otherwise, he'll be in trouble. But she's sure that even then, Shidou will be fine. Shidou wonders what she could possibly mean, but suddenly, everything starts to get blurry and Rinne vanishes. Shidou wonders if maybe he was just imagining things, and then goes to sleep. End of 6/30 Tohka Route Part 6 (7/1) Spoiler: The next day, Tohka thinks that she shouldn't go on the date, but Shido insists. She says that she probably shouldn't go outside, and that she also has a weird feeling. Specifically in her chest. In order to help calm her down, Shidou hugs her for a bit. Soon after, she calms down and he lets go of the hug. But, he grabs her hand and takes her out. They arrive at the Shopping District. Shidou's decided to take Touka out to places so that she can start smiling again. Shidou takes her to various places to eat, and once again to the Game Center. Shidou asks Tohka if there's anything she wants from the UFO Catcher, and she does. So Shidou once again gets her something, but fails. He keeps trying, and eventually, he manages to nab 2 prizes at the same time. After that, they stop outside of Tohka's favorite bread store, but since they might not have her favorite bread, they decide to buy Crepe's at another place instead. When Tohka takes a bite, she finds it delicious, but gets cream on her face. Shidou cleans it up for her. Tohka then realizes that Shidou has taken her to every place they went to on one of their earlier dates. At the time, it was Tohka who was leading him around, but this time, he's the one doing it for her instead. Last edited by Mystic_Vegetto; 2013-06-30 at 18:21. Reason: Fixed Part 5, and added Part 6

Mystic_Vegetto Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Touka Route Part 7 (7/2) END (All Endings) Spoiler: The next day, Shidou is excited because he wants to take Tohka out on another date. She agrees to go since she's sure wherever Shidou takes her is going to be fun. However, Shidou realizes that he hasn't really figured out where they should go. He doesn't want to take her out to the Shopping District again since they were already there. So instead, he decides to take her out for a stroll on the Town. Since there's a lot of people out, Tohka decides to link arms with him, which starts to make Shidou's heart beat faster. They go to a water show, where they see various animals like Penguins, etc.. Throughout the course of the show, Tohka keeps getting splashed with water, making her blouse wet. After a while, they begin to laugh over the whole thing. As Shidou tries to talk with Tohka during the show, he gets a Phone Call from Kotori, however, remembering back to his promise with Rinne, he decides to ignore it for now. Shidou tells Tohka that he wants her to be with him. Tohka tells him that there are many things she doesn't know yet, and that she could be a bother to him. Shidou doesn't mind. She then says that she's not a normal human, and that she could lose control of her power at any time. But he still doesn't mind since he'll just save her over and over again if he has to. No matter what, he wants Tohka to be with him. Tohka gets splashed with water again, and they both laugh it off. Ending 1: Spoiler: In the Ending, Shidou and Tohka celebrate their wedding by cutting the cake. The knife Tohka is using is a small version of Sandalphon and her dress looks like her Astral Dress but in white. Tohka tells Shidou that she loves him, and he responds that he loves her as well. To Be Continued... Ending 2: Spoiler: Shidou answers the phone. Kotori tells her that the enemy has appeared at Shin Tengu Tower. When Shidou asks more about it, his vision gets blurry and a strange feeling comes over him, similar to when Rinne disappeared. Kotori asks if he's fine, but he says he is. Kotori explains that they investigated the monument Shidou was at, and found another monument that was similar at the area where they investigated the Tenguchu. They found what appeared to be signals forming a Triangle, and the 3rd spot is Shin Tengu Tower. (Need clarification on this explanation) Within this barrier, Consciousness, Memory, Land, and Buildings, everything could be manipulated. (Again, need someone else to confirm this) Kotori asks if Tohka is with him. She asks that Shidou and Tohka be their backup in case something happens, but to not do anything reckless. Afterwards, Shidou returns to Tohka and apologizes since they have to end their date. When Tohka asks why, he begins to explain, but Tohka cuts him off and says for them to go help. Shidou and Tohka, who's now wearing her Astral Dress appear at Shin Tengu Tower. Kotori calls and informs him they're having trouble on their end getting into the tower. Shidou decides to enter, and Tohka goes as well, however, after a few steps, they're put in that other dimension again. This time however, the Spirit that's been appearing in Shidou's dreams shows up instead. Tohka asks her to identify herself, but she responds that This Ending is not what anyone else has wished for. At this rate, her Objective will come to an end. (Not sure what she said here, so for now, think of this as a placeholder) Tohka sees that she's also a Spirit just like her and the others. The Spirit calls herself Ruler, and that she's the Savior of the World, and the Bringer of Paradise. Therefore, she wishes for them to disappear. She shoots an Energy Ball at them, but Tohka blocks the attack. She continues to block, but the energy is very strong. Ruler fires multiple shots this time, and Tohka is defeated. Before she fires at Shidou, she tells him Goodbye, and this time, to have a pleasant dream. She then fires at him. She tells Shidou that this time, he should keep his promise. Shidou wakes up in his room at night breathing heavily. He thinks to himself that it was all just a dream and decides to go back to sleep. To Be Continued... Bad Ending #1 Spoiler: This takes place back when Shidou and Tohka were at the park on the hill. You had the choice of continuing to go down the steps, or leaving it alone. Shidou continues to go down and Tohka follows. However, Shidou starts to lose consciousness. Shidou is back in the same dream with the Ruler there. But he doesn't know why he's there. To Be Continued... Bad Ending #2 Spoiler: This takes place when Shidou accepts Tohka's bento. Instead of choosing to eat her bento, you decide to eat Rinne's instead. Shidou apologizes to Tohka, since Rinne had already made him a lunch. Tohka begins to realize that Shidou would choose Rinne over her instead, and goes up to the roof. Shidou follows after. On the roof, Tohka is losing control of her power. Origami shows up wondering what's going on. Origami tells Shidou to go to the shelter since this place is dangerous. Tohka begins to think that Shidou would choose Rinne and Origami over her. Shidou tries to calm her down. Kotori contacts Shidou to find out what's going on, but notices Tohka's stress level is high, and tells Shidou to run away. Tohka's power goes out of control, and Shidou is caught in the blast. In the Dream once again, Ruler is there and tells Shidou this is not he ending everyone desired, and thus, she hopes Shidou has a pleasant dream. To Be Continued... Bad Ending #3 Spoiler: This takes place when Shidou and Tohka go to the movies. Instead of choosing a 3D Adventure, Shidou and Tohka go see a Horror Movie instead....ok, I don't even think I need to explain what happens here. Basically, Tohka gets so scared that her power goes out of control. (NICE GOING SHIDOU) Ruler appears once again in the Dream, and says the same thing she always says. I don't know about you guys, but for some reason I found this to be funny. lol To Be Continued... Bad Ending #4 Spoiler: This ending takes place when Tohka asks Shidou what he thinks about Rinne. Instead of choosing "she's just a childhood friend", Shidou responds that she's someone he worries about. Tohka responds that she knew. She knew all along that in Shidou's future, she doesn't have a place in it. Tohka loses control of her power due to her emotions going out of control, and Shidou is caught in the blast. Ruler appears in the dream, and says the same line again. To Be Continued... My Impressions Spoiler: The route made Tohka look very cute. But given how it ended, it seems that not only Tohka, but all the other routes might make up 1 huge story. And thus to understand it all, you'll need to play all the routes. If I recall, Rinne's route is the last one you can unlock, but to get it, you need to unlock all Endings, including the bad ones. I'm very interested to find out what happens next, and what's really going on in the story. Kurumi's route is next, and after Kurumi, I plan on doing Kotori's route. Hope you guys enjoyed Tohka's route. Remember to use spoiler tags so that people don't get spoiled in case they plan on playing the game.

Mystic_Vegetto Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Note: The Starting Point for the Routes is when you're finally able to go to the Town Map for the first time. So anything before then, just check the beginning parts of the summary. Since to get to Kurumi's route you need to go a small bit into Kotori, I've labeled it as Kotori/Kurumi Route. That way I don't have to go back and write the same stuff all over again when I write up Kotori's summary. Here are the first 2 Introduction Summaries: http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...&postcount=160 Part 1 http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost...&postcount=174 Part 2 Kotori/Kurumi Route Part 1 - 6/26 Spoiler: Shidou's at school and wonders if he should ask Kotori out on a date. He calls her on the phone, but she doesn't answer. He decides to look in the nurse's office. There, he finds Kotori and Reine together. Apparently she forgot her phone back at home. When she inquires about why he's here, he invites her out on a date. Kotori starts to get flustered, and asks why he's asking her out. Shidou explains that she's also a Spirit. Reine agrees that Shidou is right. Kotori refuses and tells Shidou not to worry about her, and to focus more on the others instead. Though Reine and Shidou both try to convince her, she still refuses and asks Shidou to leave. Later that night, Kotori returns home. She asks where's everybody else, and Shidou explains that they left already. She wants to know how things went with the Dates, but Shidou tells her that he didn't go on any. Kotori calls him an idiot, and continues to talk about his responsibilities, but Shidou cuts her off and tells her that she's part of it too. Kotori calls him a useless siscon. As she eats dinner, she asks why he keeps staring at her, and that it's making it hard for her to eat. Shidou remembers back to a time where she would always love her Onii-chan's cooking. She responds that she didn't love it, but rather she had to eat it, though, she does admit that she does enjoy eating it. When Kotori asks about where everyone went to, he tells her how they're all going to go out and look for the Tenguchu. Kotori refuses to go, but eventually agrees after Shidou taunts her about being afraid of the dark. Kotori tells him that if anything happens, he has to accept responsibility and protect her. Tohka and Yoshino show up since they're all prepared to go now. That night, Shidou, Tohka, Origami, Rinne, Kotori and Yoshino are out, and they're waiting on Tonomachi. Kotori (wearing white ribbons) wants to go home. Shidou starts teasing her if she's afraid, but Kotori says she isn't since she's not a kid anymore. Rinne warns Shidou not to tease Kotori so much. Origami, watching everything, says she's scared...so she clings to Shidou. Tohka wants her to back off, but Origami says she's so afraid that she can't, which leads to Tohka clinging to Shidou also claiming to be scared. Shidou eventually pushes them both off. Since they're still waiting, Rinne asks if maybe they should all do something since everyone is out. Tohka brings out some Kebabs she bought earlier and says they should all eat. Rinne thinks it's a good idea, so she brings out some food she brought along. Yoshino even has some things she brought to eat, hoping to get along better with Shidou since she's feeling a bit lonely. Shidou brought some cake along, while Kotori...brought lollipops. Some time has passed, but Tonomachi still hasn't shown up. Yoshinon thinks he may have gotten lost, while Origami says he may have been spirited away by the Tenguchi. Kotori starts to get even more scared, so Shidou decides to look for him. As Shidou calls out to Tonomachi, he starts to hear some noises and begins getting scared himself. When he hears a voice, Kotori suddenly appears. (wearing black ribbons) She tells him that he's supposed to protect her, and is mad that he went off leaving her. Shidou apologizes, and Kotori tells him to take responsibility for it. Shidou wonders if she's really that scared, but Kotori says she isn't. When they hear a noise, Kotori suddenly screams and clings on to him. Kotori is frightened and shaking while clinging on to him, so to calm her down, he pats her on the head and talks to her. Tohka calls out to Shidou and Kotori quickly pushes him away. Since Shidou was taking so long, and Kotori suddenly disappeared, everyone was worried and started looking for them. Everyone decides to go back. On the way back, Shidou continues to call out to Tonomachi. Tonomachi is nearby, and hears someone calling for him, but then he suddenly hears a noise. When he looks into it he hears a growl and starts to run away while screaming. He runs into Shidou and tells him about what he's heard, and tells him that he's going home, and Shidou should do the same. Kotori and Yoshino are both very scared now. Everyone starts to hear the growl, and eventually they hear a splash in the water and an even louder growl. Tohka is excited since they believe they found the Tengushi, Origami is...Origami, Kotori passes out while Rinne catches her, and Yoshino is so scared that she's created icicles around her. The creature known to be as the "Tenguchi" however all of a sudden disappears. As everyone tries to figure out what happened, Shidou spots a famliar figure in the distance - Kurumi. He runs after her and manages to catch up. She apologizes for ruining everyone's fun time, but she has to leave. Shidou asks for her to stop, but she apologizes once again since she doesn't want to bother Shidou. Kurumi disappears, and Shidou returns to check up on everyone. With Kotori passed out, Shidou has returned to the Fraxinus to have her looked at. Reine says she's fine, but warns Shidou that he needs to be careful. Since the Spirits powers are unstable at the moment, he should be careful on what activities they do. They then talk about the Tenguchi, and wonder if it's the work of a Spirit. Kotori shows up which prompts Shidou to ask if she's ok. She's upset however since Shidou took everyone out late at night and put everyone in a situation where their powers could go out of control. Shidou apologizes. Since everything is fine for now, they both decide to go back home. As Shidou sleeps, he sees the new spirit in his dream. She says that this is her wish. And that soon he's going to realize something, but as of now... End of 6/26 Last edited by Mystic_Vegetto; 2013-06-30 at 23:12.
