If you were given a chance to add / change the ending of any Routes of KS what would it be ?

With the debate going on about Rin's bad end actually being the true end I would probably add a true bad end for her arc. In the scene where Hisao catches her 'inspiring' herself I would add a choice about having him offer her the helping hands instead of him just doing itlike he does currently. If you chose not to it would lead to an ending where she was unable to deal with the pressures and had a breakdown leading to her being institutionalized.

In Hanako's ending, I'd make it so they never had sex in the first place and were able to work out their barriers without... that. Either that or had sex after the revelation... or have the sex be the bad ending.

I would probably change Shizune's route.

Not anything about Misha.

As for endings, I would definitely add some substance to Hanako's and Rin's. Not much mind you, but just enough for better peace of mind.

Lilly's was pretty much perfect, and I'm pretty content with Emi's too.

Shizune's ending: Hisao would have to play, and win, a final game of Risk against Shizune in order to obtain her email address as they sit outside. As he is about to lose, Yuuko takes a picture that blinds Shizune, Misha makes it so Hisao can win. Shizune loses, and gives him her email, as Hisao says "Thank you, Misha" and she does her laugh. Before the group photo, while Hisao isn't looking, Shizune asks Misha why she did that with her reply being: "I want Hicchan and Shicchan to both be happy~." They both smile, hug, and go off for their final picture.

The devs might shun me for this post, but if I had a chance, I'd add epilogues for the remaining routes... just for completeness and equality between routes (in terms of length)

I'd make it so that Shizune's attempt to be less forceful and competitive is shown more. Perhaps she'd be more willing to show her softer side with Hisao or maybe even mend things with Lilly, or make a start to do so. Walking in on Misha and Hisao having sex a possibility as well, or a confession between the three of them about what they did.

I'd make it so that Hanako's sex scene and the breaking down of walls would be reversed, or maybe Hisao goes to her room on her birthday and they have the discussion there. Another possibility would be to have Hanako and Hisao have a repeat of the night before after their talk, this time both of them are sure they're doing for the right reasons. (Partly because I was left extremely upset about the lack of affection and love in her sex scene and no follow-up!) Logical plot progression aside, an epilogue ending where Hanako decides to do something naughty with Hisao in the library.

Lilly - An option for Hisao to come with her to Scotland or some dialogue along those lines. Or maybe Akira decides to intervene by saying Lilly's ticket was lost or something and gives Hisao a chance to change her mind. It'd have been hilarious for Hanako to walk in on Lilly and Hisao having sex at the summerhouse and cockblock Hisao. Or move the whole scene out to the wheat field.

How should I put it... I think that changing anything about the endings would do more harm than good to the value of this game. I like how some of the good endings are uncertain, and all you can do is wish Hisao and his chosen girl well.

I sort of agree with this, minus the cockblocking at the summerhouse. I think it would have been interesting for Shizune to see how much Lilly's actions were hurting Hisao and just slap her across the face for being so insensitive. (Actually sort of expected it to happen at some point XD)

But I also agree with encrypted, changing the endings seems like it'd harm the game more than help it given the amount of thought put into them.

That said I wish Hanako's route was a little longer. *Wants moar Hanako but can only get that through her bad end* Can't... be... mean... to.... Hanako.... impossible...

I wouldn't change anything......
Not after knowing how HARD everyone has worked to make this, then i wouldn't change anything
And even less considering i liked the endings, they were fitting for all i feel

I think 75% of us, at least, would want this. (Though it's not something I'd expect of the devs, and it might not even be better than the current endings.)

Also: a less-rapey-feeling Hanako sex scene.

I would have changed Rin's end, just to include some mention of her and Hisao staying together, or Hisao finally understanding her and being happy about it.

I would have preferred the sex scene after they finally break down the walls around them, as the current one felt a bit awkward and out of place. And rape-ish.

Sorry, that's what I meant. The existing one makes sense as far as the path goes, but it would have been nice to have a sex scene with both of them happy and wanting to do it for the right reasons.

Like a of of others I'd probably draw Hanako's out a little be farther just for a "cool" down period. Yes, it's technically ok for a story to end just with the summation of the conflict I think another scene or two of just talking or anything would be good.
