[xenogears] this from my xenogears playthrough

It's peak fiction

they call it being in your 20s

it's also bar for bar just xenogears and umineko iykyk

Remember11 Kokoro route (first half of the game)

Insanely cool story, so many mysteries to predict that are answered and left for the other route to be explored. I blasted through this faster than I expected probably because streets are calling this the most well paced VN ever.

i was getting some vibes that it was some crazy monolith soft project somehow haha

Tldr without love it cannot be seen

Not putting her last already seems like a hot take from what I read online but I can't find a solid explanation for this consensus. Locked in for every scene and felt like I was on the same wavelength for the themes and mechanics that the route offers for the greater story.

Routes:

Final > Tsugumi > Sora > You > Sara

None bad, it's a symptom of Tsugumi being a crazy strong start in plot and atmosphere while the others answer more questions (but not completely) while having less urgency. Hot take is that I'd put Sora higher with an ending par with Tsugumi

Finished and had a great time the whole way through. Of course the final route delivered after everything that was built up, it was fun to see my own theories confirmed with other things I couldn't have possibly predicted.

I am here.

how many are there? all sawano?

why not both

THAT'S THE LINE THEY SAID THE LINE MY FAVORITE LINE IN FICTION

Overall the game is a worthwhile read despite these things which are much more inherent to the medium as a whole. Great music, great art (I'm too soulpilled™️), great characters. No, they never said what a "Clannad" is. Yes, it put tears in my eyes.

Getting all of the routes in the necessary order is also disorienting with how much some overlap only for the unique part to be a short ending, having to skip through the common route again and again takes you out of the immersion.

It's a coming of age going from senior year to making a living for yourself. There was an engaging balance between the main character's depressing attitude in school life because of how disabilities robbed him of normalcy, how to be content with that, and how to live for more.

Clannad

Heartwrenching story, I had a great time once I committed to finishing it despite taking a break in the middle for 2-3 years. The SOL of the characters was very enjoyable and the melodrama usually hits hard.

Clannad finished Nagisa route, crazy how much easier to read than other routes it is while still being good, I love the Furukawa family. (Not) Ready for After Story

i love the theme on this one so much, the aesthetic of it and Torna as a country is peak
