Katawa Shoujo Forums

Lilly first, Lilly always. Honestly though, I think that your first play-through should be unplanned, and you should make decisions as you would IRL. EDIT: As for the differences in character between routes... I think it's basically unavoidable. What helps me most is to imagine each path as a ...

Exactly.

Then don't use absolutes! *waggles finger*

What you said implied that you knew best for every possible situation and there were no alternatives.

I know, I know. I haven't had that much time to spend on the game, especially since I decided to stop staying up all night to play it. XD

I'll make my next project to start from the beginning and play through all of Shizune's path.

I think I'll be fine as long as it's not specific events or conversations. Or maybe there is something spoilerish in there, but I just don't see it. All the better amirite? ^_^

I can't claim to be an expert on depression, so I was probably wrong to make claims about whether or not Hisao is depressed. You are probably right, as Hisao starts Act 1 after being stuck in a hospital room for four months after learning he has arrythmia after having a heart attack at age 17 ...

Is there a more recent poll?

Say, one since the game was actually released? I'm curious how the data looks after people got a chance to actually play the game...

to weaken his resistance and bend him to their will. This seems to further support that everything Shizune and Misha do in Act 1 is just to get something out of Hisao. /shrug I don't think this is an unfair characterization of what Shizune and Misha do, as well as how Hisao initially responds. The ...

It sounds like you came in with an expectation that the story would unfold one way (Hisao learning sign language through Shizune, giving them an opportunity to bond) when the writer chose something different. Definitely true. It was unfair of me to come in with preconceived notions and expect the ...

First of all, thanks for replying. Do you think you could also give a link to the thread where this was posted? (EDIT: NEVERMIND, I found it with google)(EDITx2 COMBO: for anyone else who wants to see it in context ) Everything you have looks excellent, including your reasoning about the Tanabata ...

Thanks, I hope this goes well. So far though, it seems like there are too many events shoved between Hanako's party and her actual birthday. Continuing on for now though.

EDIT: Have there been other timelines at all? I haven't found any... (Except for the post I linked)

Tentatively Completed (More progress would require a lot of extrapolation AFAIK) NOTE: It seems there are conflicting dates... The days don't add up. Has this been tried before? Reference for starting date Dates (namely Monday, June 4) line up with 2007, which makes sense as that is the year ...

Maybe you don't like surprises but Hisao is not you. Isn't the entire point of Hisao for you to insert yourself into his situation? Hisao definitely has his own personality. I decided to actually download and play KS because of a metadating episode on this game. I didn't really enjoy watching them ...

From what I've noticed, people's opinions about Shizune's path are usually the extreme of their opinions about Shizune as a character, so if you really don't like her I'd save it for last. Thanks for your advice, I probably will end up finishing Shizune last. And yet, it's still a completely valid ...

Also, OP, do you like Shizune as a character? If you do, then you'd probably like this route. I want to like her! I thought she would be an amazing girl to get to know. However, I think she's written a tad bit too extreme for me. She comes off as more than driven. For instance, if driven is ...
