[Snuffle]

This game is sure making me lose A LOT of sleep for it having such a large cast of likable characters.

So far I've finished Chihaya's, Akane's, Kotori's, and Shizuru's route. I'm not really in a hurry to begin Lucia's route since I'm not fond of violent girls, but I have so much momentum going right now that I just might go for it.

Spoiler for Chihaya route opinion:

This has to be my favorite route, it was so much fun watching Kotarou and Chihaya interact with each other. Whenever I see these two in the same scene, there is almost always a good chance I will like something about it.

It was great to see the potential of what Kotarou's power can do, which was severely lacking in other routes besides Akane's. Out of the 4 routes that I've played so far, I would have to say I liked Chihaya's ending the most. The other stories are just too damn depressing and the "WTF WHY!?" moments causes me to want to hate some of the other stories.

I did not really understand why the Sakuya monster showed up or as to why Akane desired to summon it. The monster is meant to destroy the world is it not? I thought her objective was to "renew" the world with greenery.

Spoiler for Akane's route opinion + Very minor part referring to Chihaya's route:

Probably my favorite character and a with a route which I can actually accept. Kotarou makes really good use of his powers here and is possibly the only route in which he becomes a killer, which I found to be a nice compliment to his character considering his professional position in this story.

Out of the 4 route's that I've played, I find that this route so deserves an 18+ version. It's so damn obvious these two are having sex, at least once, but it's possible there two places as to where it could fit in. They become so close and passionate that I would have to be in denial to think they're doing otherwise.

The scenes where Kotarou had to help evacuate people all by himself went on twice as long as I would have liked... It was just getting so boring, just find your girl already!

The fight with the T-Rex revealed as to why Kotarou could not defeat that Iron Ore monster in Chihaya's route despite his growth there power wise was larger than Akane's route. That little tidbit kinda bugged me.

The ending is something I can agree with. At first I thought they were going to get banished to the surface, but instead, they are sent to a remote part of the artificial town. AFAIK, Harvest Festival does not have an after story for Akane, which is disappointing.

Spoiler for Kotori's route opinion:

Kotori stupid, Kotori is stupid, Kotori's stupid!

I understand you don't want to get attached to other people because of what you have to do. I understand that you don't let people get to attached to you because you don't want them to worry. And I understand that you are afraid to be with Kotarou because you are concerned as to weather his feelings are his real feelings or your deep desires ordering him.

But why the hell does that even matter!!?? If I "made" a girl fall in love with me, who would never betray me, would always be there for me, etc. etc. I would take her! Does she even realize that if she really is controlling Kotarou's thoughts, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to fall in love with anyone else because SHE is the one that desires HIM to LOVE HER.

I'm not too fond of Kotori, she's weird in a good and fun way, but she constantly denies how she really feels.... That just gets annoying.

However, I really did like that scene where she had to carry him to the hospital. And she most likely was scared to see him because she probably thought his feelings would be different/changed since Kotarou is full human again.

Spoiler for Shizuru route opinion:

CUTE CUTE CUTE!
ADORABLE ADORABLE ADORABLE!
MAID MAID MAID!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!
OMG WHY WTF WHY WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!???!?!??!?

Translation:
Shizuru is so cute.
Shizuru is so adorable when talking to Kotarou
Kotarou buy her a maid dress!!! Don't buy her fish!!
Shizuru!! why did all this happen to you!? You don't deserve this! Kotarou this is your fault!
Kotarou! You piece of sh!t!!!! Someone PLEASE explain to me as to why Kotarou stayed behind instead going with Shizuru to the shelter..... I mean.... FU<K!!! I HATE THIS ENDING!!! I love the route a lot, but I HATE THE DAMN ENDING! This just makes me angry and depressed at the same time, and I don't like that. I pick a girl, read her route, I expect my persona to fall in love and end up with her! I mean... WTF!!??

Whew... that took a long time.

BTW, does anyone else think this game has a serious lack of CGs and special effects for the battles? Key should learn from TypeMoon.

It's hard for me to pick which my favorite heroine is. It's most likely Akane, she is just oh so pwetty. My rankings probably goes like this.

1. Akane , 2. Chihaya/Shizuru , 3. Kotori/Lucia

Although, Lucia is still unknown to me, I very highly doubt I will put in the 2nd place area. Her appearance, personality, and voice don't really do anything for me. But I do like how she always plays the tsukkomi role with Kotarou when making fun of Chihaya being a mecha. Also, I like it when her voice goes really high pitch when screaming lol.
