Should I finish Emi's path?

Post by XD005 »

Hello, I recently got to the infamous "Anal" or shed scene and after that, Emi's path has lost some steam to me. I don't really feel much going on from then on so I'm thinking of doing Hanako's as I hear hers is much more emotional and stuff. So what do you guys think? Also I don't feel like going through Act 1 again so what are the important parts to learn more about her that I need to avoid skipping?

EDIT: Sorry, I posted this in the wrong section. Can I get a mod to move it please?

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Emi's route is the route with the most even mix of comedy and drama. How did you not laugh at that spoilered scene? Honestly. Anyways, many people love the route and for good reason. Just finish it through. I am not a Emibro, but I can say confidently that Emi's route gets very good soon.

You're pretty near the end. It's worthwhile.

Emi's route is very emotional, man. You've GOT to finish it! :o

It was the first one I ever did. All the routes have a special appeal with some cluster of fans or another, but we can all agree there's something good about all of the routes. (Of course, we all have our criticisms about each of the routes, too. Get back up on the horse and give Emi another try, man.)

Stick with it, and laugh at that sort of stuff. It's funny. Toilet humor even.

that scene is a good laugh imo, and not as unrealistic as some might think... :)

You should definitely finish the route: it's only an hour or so until you reach the end + the ending is very touching imo.

The scene itself did not make much sense, but you shouldn't let it bother you. Emi arc still has a bunch of interesting plot twists and depth to it.

Absolutely. you should finish EVERY path. Each girl has so much to offer. You must not abandon any of them. Seriously, Emi's path is a good one. Just remember to listen to Mouto. He is wise and following his advice leads to good things. Ignoring it leads to heartache.

Good luck man, and give Emi a good poke for me. :wink:

Why not?

I mean, seriously, why not? Are you just that "butt-hurt" after that scene? :lol:

You should definitely finish it, it's the best route in the game imo.

Emi's route was my first. I think it's definitely worth finishing. And as others said, you're close to the end, and it stays just as great.

If you can't observe it directly...

Probably the only reason I got the good end for that arc is I talked to Meiko.

as Frederick the great said "He who defends everything defends nothing"

No need to change routes or play two or more routes at the same time.

Besides that, Emi's ending is nice.

Finish it! Emi was actually the first path for me, and definitely one of my favourites, totally worth completing.

Emi's route was my first - frankly I think it's the best possible one to play first, for reasons I can't quite explain.

I'd definitely say to see it to the end.
