Re: Missing stereotypes

i can go with that ... but does that mean he know sex with hanako was gonna happen right then and there ( i thought at least shizune would have demanded for hisao to wear protrection ) No, the condom in the wallet is simply a "just in case" preventative measure. The idea is "sex could happen to me ...

Re: Missing stereotypes

on a different point why did hisao only have protection for hanako and not any of the other girls ?? If you want an in-universe explanation, it's because Hisao's personality is influenced by the personality of the girl he's pursuing, and in Hanako's route, that means he's much more protective and c...

Re: Hanako bad ending discussion

For the record, Hanako learns about Hisao's heart condition fairly early in her route. In order to get to Lilly or Hanako's paths, you have to do Mind Your Step in Act 1 and choose "Sorry, I'm not in very good condition", which leads to Hisao admitting his heart problems to Lilly. Then, in Equivalen...

Re: Which of the girls would you date in real life?

I would get along well with Hanako, Lilly, or Rin. Emi is too childish and immature for me to see her as more than a friend or little sister, and I don't like Shizune at all. However, based on the evidence of my decisions from my first playthrough, I would be too reserved and non-committal to end up...

Re: Venting about Shizune's Bad ending...

When she's talking about her plan to make Misha happy again, I just want to grab her scream at her to stop treating people like they're just games and just go talk to Misha like she's an actual human being To be fair, she told Hisao that she had already tried that (after a game of dice, if I recall...

Re: Thoughts after Lilly's path

The second is that she loves him too much to let him go. She says later on in her route that she has rejected many confessions in the past. With this in mind, the very fact that she bothered confessing to Hisao at all shows that she's more serious about him than anyone else she's known. Yes, I agre...

Re: Thoughts after Lilly's path

Lilly's route took on a bit of a different feel for me once I realized that even before her confession in the field of wheat, she already knew she would likely be returning to Scotland permanently . Even as she says to Hisao, "Don't go away, I beg of you. Never, ever go away. I love you, so please.....

Re: Why is Hisao so disliked?

I learned as quickly as my second decision, when I chose to ask Shizune about her deafness and Hisao flat out refused to follow my choice, that Katawa Shoujo would not be a game in which it would be possible to force the main character to always act in the way I thought was best. Holding that mindse...

Re: Emi inspired running/workout

Just finished Day 2 of Week 4. The last 2-3 minutes of my route are up a very steep hill, and Week 4 is the first week in which I am required to run up it instead of walk. The hill was pretty bad on Day 1, but today it was nearly impossible. In the last minute of my run, I was absolutely exhausted i...

Re: Rin's Path discussion *spoilers*

She was born with heavily deformed arms and soon after her birth, they where amputated . But I also forgot where in the VN that is stated. It's not in the game itself, but is stated in her bio on the Katawa Shoujo website : Since Rin’s arms are tiny stumps due to a severe birth defect and subsequen...

I can't really say anything to that except that I find it horrifically psychopathic, and not in any kind of funny, pseudo-funny, or meta-pseudo-funny way.

Re: Hanako bad ending discussion

The thing is, if I had been in Hisao's situation, I would have done the fckn sensible thing and said to Hanako "I want to understand you so could you please tell me, what do you want me to do? And what do you want us to be, cause I'm not sure." And then you would act accordingly. Really, is it any ...

Re: Hanako bad ending discussion

If you think Hanako got raped in her good ending, you should probably re-read it more closely. Specifically the parts where she nods her consent right before sex with Hisao, and where she later admits that having sex with Hisao was an intentional premeditated decision on her part (although based on ...

Re: Hanako bad ending discussion

The result is that I can't help but read it as authorial intrusion for the sake of ending that path. The line provides me with no sort of closure - it feels like a cop out. No other ending in the entire game had that effect on me. Huh. I felt like pretty much every bad and neutral ending had the sa...
