Well, they're actually not that 'bad', especially compared to other VNs.

Most of the high quality drawings that accompany a major moment (dunno what to call them exactly) always show Hanako at profile, with her scars hidden. WAT. Something that made the path so beautiful to me was that he realized those scars are part of what makes her beautiful, that and the scars' implications.

Without the city excursion, there really isn't enough evidence for Hanako's possible independence for Hisao to realistically agree with Lilly, even if he wanted to. If you notice, without going into the city, the option you choose may not change the overall outcome, but his mental response does change ever so slightly. At least I think it does, unless I'm crazy.

Grayfox wrote:I'm not sure what other art your talking about, but I know one big one people mention was The final CG, where she kisses Hisao right outside of that bakery. And that didn't come across to me as them hiding her scars as much as there is a realization that hit me: That the side that has the scars, that isn't showing to the player, is showing to bystanders. Who are watching.

And she doesn't care. And to me, that was way more awesome than them changing the angel so that her scars would be the visible side, especially if it meant that we mightn ot see the bystanders in the shot.

Zerix wrote:Actually, if you put it that way, it seems to me that it would actually work better to not give you any choice at all during the Lilly conversation if you chose not to go into the city. Since either way, Hisao cannot agree with Lilly, no choice should be given, because no choice IS given.

Anyway, without seeing the evidence with his own eyes, it's at least reasonable of him to trust the word of someone who's known Hanako longer, so having the choice there makes sense and I still think the neutral ending would have worked better.

There are other choice points in KS where you only see the options that have been flagged by previous choices. An example would be Lunch Evolution Theory: If you blow of both Shizune and Hanako in the initial five choices you don't even see there is a choice here - you go straight to reading your book.
I think this is how this should have been handled here as well.

THIIIIIIIIS.

Actually I don't think choice points really mattered, for some reason I jumped bewteen different routes in act 1.

Apparently the people you have lunch with on the rooftop determines which route you are on, but I doubt that.

I think the point which determined whether I went on Hanako's route or not was when you get the choice to hang out in the library or not or something

While going through Hanako's images in the gallery I notice that the image where Hanako receives her birthday presents has two parts, but I only have the first one. Is the second obtainable in Hanako's path, or is it through another character's path?
