RIN'S?

That's kind of what I was trying to say, but probably clearer actually.

Emi drags Hisao out of his depression the same way Shizune does in her route. In fact, Emi's even better for Hisao than Shizune because she directly helps him overcome his disability and become a more physically active and healthy person. Think about this: because of Emi encouraging Hisao to become more physically active, she significantly raises his chances of living to a ripe old age. In other routes, Hisao is stated as "unlikely to live past 30". It is quite possible that Emi doubled Hisao's life-span. No other girl has that impact on him.
Yes, Emi has a mental obstacle to overcome (her fear of closeness), but every girl in the game has an obstacle to overcome. Emi really does care about Hisao, far beyond sex. She merely has trouble letting Hisao care about her.
Of course not. The beginning is legit, and she gets better at the end. It's just everything in between that's awful.someguy1294 wrote:They're 'friends who happen to fuck', but I don't see that as the beginning and end of their relationship.Potato wrote: Right, once her guard is let down.

There are 69 pages of disagreement on this, but IIRC the final consensus was that there is no evidence that Misha has a disability. Without a disability there's the big question of why Misha is at Yamaku in the first place. I think the rough consensus answer to that is that being a sign language interpreter allowed her to come to Yamaku, and this was the only way that she could afford a private school, and that she was bullied so badly before that coming to a school where she wouldn't fit in was a big step up.AaronIsCrunchy wrote:This thread might interest you :parthritis_5 wrote:Sadly Misha doesnt have a disabilitySgt_Frog wrote:Shizune, simply because the one question on my mind was "I GOTTA know what Misha's disability is, if she has one."

How can you inadvertently side with Shizune? One choice sides with Lilly, the other leaves her to the sharks, it's pretty clear.Rhodri wrote:I inadvertently sided with Shizune in the argument

I know it sounds stupid, but I was under the impression that we can make one or two decision that don't go in a particular girl's favour, and its was my first time playing a VN, so I gave the answer that I would have given if I had been planted in the situation. Lets put it down to a n00b error.Potato wrote:How can you inadvertently side with Shizune?

Wouldn't call it a n00b error, you managed to end up on Rin's route without even trying - and Rin's being the hardest route to get, I'd call that a bit of a winRhodri wrote:I know it sounds stupid, but I was under the impression that we can make one or two decision that don't go in a particular girl's favour, and its was my first time playing a VN, so I gave the answer that I would have given if I had been planted in the situation.

(Plus Rin's great...)That's both one of my favourite things and biggest criticisms (go figureAaronIsCrunchy wrote:Wouldn't call it a n00b error, you managed to end up on Rin's route without even trying - and Rin's being the hardest route to get, I'd call that a bit of a win
) about Rin's route. Until Saturday, you as the player don't make any active decisions in spending time with her, and if you balls that up, you deserve the Manly Picnic. The lack of choice in comparison to the other girls makes it feel more natural when you find yourself chilling on a wall next to a mural on a Sunday Afternoon, unlike some of the choices you can make over that two day period (the Hanako/Lilly and possible Emi/Shizune junctions comes to mind). But at the same time, the lack of choice does make you do feel like a passive presence within the story.Who would've thunk that "comforting" nowadays leads to this? At least in this context.Oddball wrote:.. stupid Misha. I was just trying to be nice, dammit!
