Shizunes bad ending * No Spoilers*
Shizunes bad ending * No Spoilers*
After playing through the game for my... sixth? time, I have really found Shizune's bad ending... lacking. I felt many things were left unexplained, and I want some other opinions.
Re: Shizunes bad ending * No Spoilers*
Shizune's bad end can only really be understood if you read a lot into the subtext of the story and piece together what's going on behind the scenes and in Shizune's mind. Here's my in depth take on it.

One of the reasons I will always love Lilly's, she is so much less complicated, and easy to read. She does not have to be straightforward, because her feelings are so easy to understand. Playing on my own whim, I did Emi's good first without realizing it, I was happy. Going for Lilly though, I was broken because of her neutral ending. With Shizune I just don't feel that understanding.Mirrormn wrote:Shizune's bad end can only really be understood if you read a lot into the subtext of the story and piece together what's going on behind the scenes and in Shizune's mind.

A lot of folks in the Shizune vs Lilly thread would disagree with that (about Lilly being less complicated and easy to read). Go have a look if you're interested.Tttony2x wrote:One of the reasons I will always love Lilly's, she is so much less complicated, and easy to read.

Well, yeah, go have a read.
At least it saves me the trouble of quoting, finding, re-quoting, or write a wall-of-text again analyzing this topic.
This has been said many times before, and I'll say it again: 'Shizune's the love interest of the intellectuals'.
Hmm...easy way to say it, it's like Lenin with the Bolsheviks. Lilly is like Trotsky with the Mensheviks which appeals to the masses. Get the picture?
They say they hate Shizune? What is this? BLASPHEMY!
SHII-HAEL!
