Tip 1: You can only pick Kotori, Lucia and Chihaya in the first playthrough. Kotori's route unlocks Shizuru's and Chihaya's route unlocks Akane's. Tip 2: Pick a heroine...and become a total stalker. Every option involving her just answer positively (and if you don't know the effect of an answer, save and load), while disregarding the other girls. |

Spoiler for Tanaka Quote:
To be clear, I have absolutely no intention or desire to get into a pointless debate about what-ifs, but... seriously? That's the happiest ending they could've come up? Pardon me, but I don't buy that for a second. In hindsight, it seems while Tanaka has the general idea for what the ending should be like, there's also the sense of a self-imposed restraint with respect to the characters and how they might've been reintroduced. Take this quote for example: Spoiler for Tanaka Quote:
I understand the concept of wanting to liberate characters from their "emotional baggage," but not at the cost of undermining a central, underlying plot point; in this case being the Occult Club. Throughout the whole Common Route and through most of the Character Routes, that was central to Kotarou's character and his motivation. Regardless of who he ended up with, we understood where he was coming from and the pain he endured whenever he ended opposing another friend. Spoiler for Moon/Terra:

If you don't have that, then why in the world would you suffer through the boredom of reading the scenario otherwise? Quote:
Secondly, I admit that I may not have been specific enough when I mentioned in my previous comment about no one caring about the end of the world. My apologies for that, and I will try to clarify. When I said that, I meant to imply that as apocalyptic scenarios are so common these days, they don't surprise you anymore. There's nothing terribly mind-blowing about them that's going to have you jump out of your seat. Spoiler for Little Busters!:
That said, I do concede that Rewrite shows at least some imagination in its apocalyptic scenario. It's just that I believe that, with respect to Terra, they let the scenario carry the characters rather than the characters carrying the scenario; which is, IMHO, a mistake. |

I agree with you that Terra should probably have been more emotionally significant, but that wasn't the point and furthermore I didn't find the scenario boring in the least. Most people here don't either from what I can tell; this is your opinion. Please don't try to make it anything more than that.

And there is the goal of the route, narratively speaking. Tanaka on Terra subverted the classic cliche of true endings. (true for Key VNs, where almost always resolves the final conflict with an ass pull) |

Did you guys hear? Rewrite is a subpar VN that reads like it was written by a 15-year-old.

He certainly played more than just the CR, but the way he talks about the environmentalism, and how I know he hasn't been playing it for long enough to get more than two or three endings to begin with, is pretty solid evidence that he hasn't finished.
