Yeah, I mean I wouldn't be defending this game if it was simply a porn game, because it is absolutely not. The fact that you can turn off adult content kind of speaks to that. Also if I'm sexist and a shitty person because it made me realize I need to change things about me in life to better myself then sign me up for the shit list.
But Tachi, just remember I'm not attacking you, I understand that there are things you don't like about this game and that's perfectly fine, I'm just bringing up my own points Flannel buddy.

The fact that it took me literally five hours of "play time" means it isn't really a sex-game so much as a "game" with sex in it.

It's kind of like a high school romance "choose-your-own-path" novel. Sex is just usually a part of high school romance.

note: Game in quotes because this really is basically a novel, not a game.

porn game where you can turn the porn off kinda takes the fun out of a porn game

Thanked Kosheh's post because even though he disagreed with me and was probably right, he made me laugh. :p

Probably re-stating the sarcasm in kosheh's post, and I might be sort of taking this into a different context and HURR DURR CAPTAIN OBVIOUS POINT HERE.

Thing is that's bugging me realistically it takes much longer than an hour for a relationship to go in to a more sexual sort of thing (unless you're dealing with a hooker worth a nickel charging you $10 and that's very different from a real girl no matter how you look at it.). Thing that sort of bugs me is that when you're playing a game, or reading a book, the events that happen usually take so much longer period of time than the time it takes for it to be told.

Woah, why am I not surprised? people tend to forget how reality is really like because a simple form of media sort of twists it around in a way.

Kind of have to consider that one hour stories could take about, a week or two, maybe even a month depending on how it's written.

that was seriously the dumbest--

ugh never mind

anyway i'm gonna give this a try later tonight

[DioShiba]

what...

So apparently I have to get called out for a point I'm making about how events in a story would take longer in real time. WHICH CAN BE APPLIED TO ANYTHING THAT HAS A STORY REALLY.

Sorry if I'm trying to point out something that people don't normally get, or if I'm wording it in a way you don't like but there was really no need for that post.

[Vipershark]

never mind, I interpreted your post the wrong way

[Kakashifan]

Shit man...that was deep. My mind is blown..pshhh....

Always wanted to make something like this myself (using like Disgea or Persona any anime game mugs) but the parts where you fight(if it like F/SN, or battle) be turned into like an RPG battle type thing. Kinda why I like F/EXTRA prolly; cause we are playing as the Servants.

Almost finished with Hanako's route.

I have to admit however, When you're actually paying attention to the story and make the right choices I feel a sense of sympathy for her given her character as a whole. Hell even when it came to the sex scene I kinda felt bad the guy I was playing as ended up doing it with her, it was kind of unsettling. What pleases me on this was that this whole scene was actually handled pretty maturely. Yet to complete the aftermath because it's late.

Real deep stuff we're talking here.

"why did hisao have to do it with her, why couldnt it have been me?"


i know this feel, though i'm gonna have to admit that it wasn't you

Spoiler

hanako's sex scene feels kind of tacked on. she completely opens up to you and hisao just kinda clumsily gets naked and conveniently pulls a condom out of his back pocket - like he never thought he'd be able to have sex with her and he just happened to pull a condom out of his back pocket IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

it's like "eh shes naked and look at this. me too. oh cool i got a condom, guess i could fuck her"

[Kakashifan]

Welp, there goes my sympathy for Hisao. Mmmm.....have not been playing this much today, busy w/ HW.

Yeah, far as it being tacked on I can agree with you

Spoiler

Although I wouldn't say Hiaso was clumsily getting naked and magically pulls a condom out of thin air. I feel it's more like Hiaso was kind of taking advantage of the situation because he already is aware about what happened to Hanako (he does say that to her and tells her she didn't need to go through the trouble of it) and not too surprisingly, love happens.

It's just not how I'd imagine it happening, even if at all happening unless you're going for the bad ending. It's just like rape except they kind of know it's consensual. Given how much porn I watched I certainly wasn't comfortable with this part of the story. That's how fucked I think this part was.

I'd have to finish the story to see what happens, however. I think I might be able to get a better clue to why it even happened to begin with.

EDIT: okay. just finished the story on the good ending and now I get where this is going

Spoiler

turns out it actually fits the theme of Hanako's route as well too. Given all the pressure that happened in school after that fateful night even Hiaso regretted fucking her in the end, eventually when they talk about it you kind of see that they are both sorry for each other. Kind of fitting since Hanako was afraid of losing Hiaso more than anything. After all who would want to be used.

All in all, think that if you're going for the good ending and wonder why he ended up fucking her, I think this is kind of the satisfying ending to go on since you wouldn't feel completely guilty about it.

More or less I think it's not even going to be worth trying to get the bad ending. It'd be a drag all together. I'm by far happy with the choices I made in this route and by far this is probably what just made the game for me to be honest. Come to think about it I think the generic anime art (as much as I hate to admit it) kind of fits the overall tone of this route, might even be the same deal with other ones but by far this perfectly fitting for the challenge of looking at someone as a human.
