Re: Cannot bring myself to finish the game

Whether you follow through or not: Littlefoot's mother will still die. Captain von Trapp will find love again. Charles Foster Kane will recall Rosebud. Jake will give up, because it's Chinatown. Sam will play it again. Kefka will kill General Leo. Sephiroth will kill Aeris. Donnie will decide that h...

Re: Is KS porn ??

Edit: I also think I should point out that Shizune chastised Rin earlier in the story for sleeping on the desks. I guess sleeping WITH someone on the desks is a different story. You may have noticed that Shizune tends to have a "rules are for other people" mischievous streak. On topic, I'...

Re: Oh man, this replay is gonna be rough....

Am I the only one who skips most of Act 1? I just go into skip mode until I reach a choice/encounter a scene I've never seen before. I did that for the initial run, focusing more on seeing new content. Decided to replay each route and take notes. Now of the opinion that skipping Act 1 is a mistake....

Re: Ask!

Just noticed that "Lullaby of Open Eyes" is credited to NicolArmarfi & CplCrud. How much of a role did CplCrud play in that track? Do any of you have any personal theories as to why KS seems to have such a remarkable resonance? As you've noted before, cripple porn games aren't known fo...

Re: Other Media that gave you "The Feels."

Believe and many others by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Look into Savatage. TSO was started from "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)" on the Album Dead Winter Dead . Some of their earlier stuff is good, but a lot of it is extremely unpolished. Gutter Ballet is a big turning point - pretty huge c...

Re: Five Year Illumination (A Reunion Tale). S7 Updated 7/6

Second anniversary and they STILL haven't had that ring resized? :-) Things get forgotten sometimes. On my first pass through, it was 3 years. I thought about having it on a chain around her neck, but that might be awkward with one hand. Having known a one-handed individual personally, I'd expect h...

Re: Which character did you get most attached to and why

Rin. Not sure what it is, but she gets some major gut-punch lines. “Are you getting medications for your heart thingy?” “...yeah. They're for my heart.” “Will they make you better?” “...no, not really.”“They just make me a little less worse.” . And I guess I sort of sympathize with being metaphysica...

Re: What third ending should Lilly and Shizune have had?

Bad Lilly Ending - Instead of Hisao simply forgetting to take his meds before the walk into town on their vacation, the player is presented with a choice that morning or either hurrying up and getting ready (or checking on some noise or something) or taking his time and risking annoying Lilly. The ...

Re: Why I like Shizune's route.

Well, I found myself solidly on Team Misha, even without trying, so that colored my impression. First time through, I'm still not sure what I think. It felt like Shizune hadn't really LEARNED anything by the end. It felt like the biggest concession was "Yeah, I can be a bit bitchy, but everythi...

Re: Depressed

I got the feels bad. I had recently (2.5 weeks now) broken up with my girlfriend - or rather, she told me we were over via skype. I was in shock after, and didn't know what to do. Long story behind THAT bit of repression. Either way, this past Sunday I finally got around to downloading and installi...

Is there any persistent fan misconception about KS or the devs that you wish would (pardon the expression, Hanako fans) die in a fire?

Re: Should the adult content be turned off?

So, most of what's worth saying has already been said... As for the question of whether or not the sex scenes add to the plot - The description of the act, etc. does not, strictly speaking, add anything more than "And then we had sex." The imagery can be uncomfortable, but a lot of work wa...

Re: Ask!

'nother question from going over the script with a fine-toothed comb:

In his first conversation with Lilly, it's implied (rather heavily) that Hisao's previous school had mandatory club membership. Was there any discussion on what club he used to belong to?

Re: Does KS really cause Manly Tears

I would have thought that people would be familiar with the TVTropes page ( Warning - Link to TVTropes). When people use the specific phrasing "Manly Tears," it's generally troperese. That being said, the question's a silly one. Manly Tears are simply a subset of feels. No one (well, not t...

Re: Should I play all characters, and all routes?

Play through everyone's arc. Then get 100%. Then let everything simmer. Think on it, let the experience sit in the back of your mind for a couple weeks. Then go through it all again. You'll see everything with new eyes. Frankly, that's how you should experience anything worthwhile. 'course, with man...
