Don't we already have a thread like that around somewhere?

Anyway, I'm going to do Emi's route first, 'cause she's my favourite girl and also so I can start translating that path right away.
I know I'll probably save Rin's path for last, because, though she's not my favourite girl, I think her path will be the one I'll like best
Not sure about the order of the others - maybe I'll throw dice or whatever.

Here's my list:

Hanako
(cry about there not being a Misha route )
Shizune
Lilly
Emi
Rin

Lilly first.
Hanako second.
After that, I don't know.

Yes, this thread.

Hmm, well, since I'm not really a totally hardcore visual-novel gamer that will abandon life and all other pursuits to achieve 100% completion [Waits for the finishing blow] I guess I may not complete all the paths.
But, if I were to take a guess...

1. Lilly, because I'm a Lilly person.
2. Hanako, because I can load fom Lilly's save earlier and choose her route instead. She's also tied with Rin for spot 2.
3. Rin, because I like Rin.
4. Bitch about lack of a Mischa route or sudden lack of girls that I could actually get along with.
5. Coin-Flip between Shizune and Emi.
6. Get bad ending.
7. Get whichever ending the coin chose at point 5
8. Cry about not getting Mischa route again.
9. Get the ending the coin did not give me at point 5.
10. Search for hidden harem/orgy route that will never happen.
11. Randomly choose a single girl or just go for Lilly again.
12. Try to get any scenes that might be missing from routes I'd like to see.
13. Abandon the game altogether.

Note that 13 may happen at any time during this process, except I'll probably try to get my top3 finished at least, and I'll definitely finish Lilly's route.

While I think Shizune is an interesting character and Emi is at least caring and somewhat likeable if at times annoying, I usually like to play those games choosing a girl I could get along (or form a relationship) with. I cannot see that happenning with annoying, bossy, butting-into-different-aspects-of-your-life girls that Emi and especially Shizune can sometimes be. Also, for whatever reason, I always imagine Emi as loud and hyperactive to the point of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and I'd kill to avoid spending too much time with this kind of person.

Hanako 1st, 'cause I got her ending 1st in the demo.
Rin 2nd, 'cause I'm expecting her to be a lot of fun.

Beyond that it's probably completely random. Shizune is probably last, because my initial impression of her is a bit negative. But more than likely the devs have tackled this issue in the final script, so who knows what she'll be like in the end.

I'm really anxious to see what kinds of changes have happened to the girls from the fraction of them we saw in Act 1. I expect some jostling of favourite lists after the game comes out. Man, if Gee-three-en-zero-cee-one-ide's profile picture changes, we know some major character changes have gone down.

...dude. I didn't even think about that. sure, the demo's been out for a long damn time, there's no chance it got out unscathed from the editing. it'll probably play mostly the same, but dammit, now I've got one more reason to look forward to the full game.

can't wait to play those scenes again for the first time.

Woah, that too. I was referring to how the girls would change over the course of the game, but now you've got me thinking that the scenes in Act 1 could be different to.
Now I have the hiccups.

There won't be any major changes in Act 1.

I like strong, motivated. I also have a glasses and short-hair fetish.

Let's see...

Rin because she's my favorite. Rest are random.

Then... coin flips.

You have a 5-sided coin!?

He can just flip two coins to get one of four (?) possible outcomes, one for each girl. For example:

Head, head: Shizune
Head, tail: Hanako
Tail, head: Rin
Tail, tail: Emi
One of the coins falls off the table and is never seen again: Kenji

That's an interesting proposition... For me, Shizune is riding a lot of momentum. I'm going to get her first, but I will give the other girls their fair shot. If they end up being better than Shizune, I'll change it.

That's something that went through my head when I was finishing act 1. I got Shizune first, so I was worried I might end up liking the other girls better. As each successive ending scene rolled by I was relieved. My resolve strengthened.

It'll take a lot to take down my Queen.

Rin first, because she's my favourite and the first ending I got. Then Shizune because I like her a lot. Then I'll go fr random chance. And I'll probably get all the bad endings before even getting Rin, because I'm usually horrible at VN decision making
