Oh I'm really glad to see that you are enjoying it, I really liked the conversation system as well. Yeah its kind of meaningless since it doesn't matter what you choose at conversation as long as you are selecting the same girl, but still knowing so much information about the heroine felt really great for me + I could see how writer worked hard about the game. Also its one of the few games where I liked every heroine almost equally which is nice. Its a shame that they decided to change the conversation system at the Pure x Connect, the "cellphone" thing didnt have same effect as conversation for sure.
I don't know if what you choose during conversations matters or not in the grand scheme of things, but the heroine's reaction changes depending on how well it went. So far I've seen 5 patterns (great choices x2, great choice + good choice, good choice x2, good choice + bad choice, bad choice x2). Still, even choosing bad choices is interesting as the conversation that follows usually goes much further than a simple "I disagree", it really shows how much effort the writers put into making these characters and giving them opinions on a wide variety of topics. Not only that, but by exhausting all the topics from a particular category, more come up to replace them. For that reason and since at some point you are forced into a confession, I still haven't completely read through Yuzuyu and Rina's choices. Compared to the dozen or so opportunities to have e-mail exchanges in Pure x Connect, the difference is huge.
I have used most of my time to play Guild Wars 2
to be honest.
Ahah, I used to play a lot of Guild Wars back in the day. Now I try to stay away from MMOs, especially when Free-To-Play, as they turn into huge time-sink for players like me who absolutely refuse to spend money on micro-transactions.
@塔の下のエクセルキトゥス : did anyone try the post-game content by the way? There's a few more ecchi scenes and CGs to unlock I think based on the recollection screen, but I couldn't be bothered.
I'm done with Ami's route in Quintuple Splash. It was okay, not as enjoyable as Tomoe's route but still not too bad in my book. The switch to lovers was quite sudden and unexpected, I was like "Uh? MC, you like Ami? Since when?". The swimming club activities got a little more important place this time, but still not as much as I'd have hoped. I felt pretty bad for both Sahori and all the high-school students who train everyday for years, if getting first-place is that easy. Anyway the story was mostly about Ami's character growth, which was alright but then again not something I hadn't seen before so... Not sure I'll keep going with the other three, since they are all sticking closely to their archetype, and the one thing that set the title apart seems to be little more than a background setting.
I started
空色イノセント, and played up until the first choice so far. Looks like it will be the only choice given how clear-cut said choice is ("who do you like?"). The game's atmosphere is peaceful, it's relaxing to read. The MC's cowardly personality is a little irritating sometimes, especially as he breaks up in tears at the slight remark from Nibutani. I find it strange he's fine living alone in an old house, with the closest neighbor 2km away. Also, it's a miracle he's not afraid a flying, but well he does need to have something. We'll see how that develops once he (tries to) get in a relationship.
I love Hiyoko's lines in this, but I find it odd that she doesn't go to school? If I read the text right she should be around 5 or 6, but it really doesn't feel that way.
While at first I expected the title to be focused on aviation, sort of like a
あの晴れわたる空より高く but with planes instead of rockets, it turns out (so far) most of the club activities are centered around raising geese. Since the MC already knows how to fly and the heroines are all complete beginners, I don't think they'll do much more than fly the ultra light plane, too bad.
So far, it's pretty clear that Miharu is the main heroine, she's had the most screen time, the MC is since the beginning obviously in love with her, and even actually confessed once... For this reason alone, I'll do her route last, just because I like to resist writers who try to obviously lead in one direction. Personally I like Nibutani best so far, I'll probably read her route first, or maybe poor Kirimi's, she barely had any screen time...
