Well why isn't it the 2nd phrase that comes out of your mouth.........o.k fine I'll shut up about it now.
Rin Propley had the least bawwwwwwww effect of all of them as I generally didn't care for her, and Misha or whatever the cunts name is kinda annoyed me so that ending didn't leave me sad. Going to do a lily/emi arch now (depends)
But from what im told (mind you I'll admit I have yet to do the lily arch) the game does seem to want a more lily approach does it not, or at least the developers but more effort on the ending on that arch. Now if you excuse me Link, I am late for my manly picnics.
The best one is whichever one you did first. I did Emi first so it was the best for me. The only other one I did was Rin because it was the only other one that appealed to me. But I didn't get as sad as with Emi. Surprisingly I was better at understanding Rin than Hisao was, which detracted from the experience. But somebody like me wasn't supposed to come to it anyway. I don't think I want to do any more play throughs because they will seem too forced and nowhere near as good. And by the way viking there is no canon arc because as I have said each one appeals to a different kind of person, so in essence, whichever one you did first, or most naturally, is the canon arc for you.
But it's a novel, and Hisao is a character. He isn't you. It's just as much about his flaws as the girls. And yeah, pretty much everyone seems to prefer whomever they went with first.
Evidently Lilly's is the only route where it's impossible to fail. Also I got two good endings out of two plays. Fuck yeah.
