how to visit Hinata??? (hostess)

[jigoku]

i have s ranked all hostesses and i still cant go to hinata...
when i visit MEB (with kiryu) the same ol "not possible"crap...when i enter with akiyama elise the same old "looking for other hostesses crap"
am i missing here something...???
what the HELL should i still do to be able to visit her????

on a side note: for whatever mysterious reason the completion of hostesses shows 3/5
while 4 are clearly "S" ranked (beyond me why?)
is this a bug....

did you go as every character and tell each hostess to go to Elise? go to every city again and make sure they're up for helping out, Hinata SHOULD appear after that

[jigoku]

well *technically* no i didnt...it puzzles me HOW the hell to tell them "to go to elise"?
perhaps i am overlooking here something... but what i noticed when i re-visit the hostesses
i am stuck in the usual repetive talk "loops" (interests, random topics,etc..)i didnt notice any options beyond that
???

hmm, did you go to serena as akiyama? you need that to trigger the cutscene where he asks everyone to help him out. try going to elise too before and after as him

if you tried all of that and it doesn't progress then i have no idea if something went wrong in your save file

[jigoku]

i dont remember....i did take a break from the game for at least 2 years
and though to comeback to do the "unfinished" rest
the hostesses stuff never interested me that much

jesus christ....this game play "triggering" is beyond grotesque....a clear case for the "facepalm" folder
i mean "god beware" i get some sort of hints/infos IN the game..........

when i search the net for a solution somebody on reddit wrote:
"you must finish all hostess stories, then you should return to the club to one last talk, where the hostess will wrap the story(like kaguy telling how her acting test was) This is just the first part, then you can leave
only then you may return to the club and the character will ask the girl to kamurocho. that is, after you went with akiyama to elise and then to new serena to ask da boys to scout for hostesses"
??is this for real?
i have no words for this.......

[kirbo]

yes...i fail to see the problem here
its what i said before, and its shown ingame pretty straightforward. if you havent played for 2 years then it makes sense you'd have forgotten what you've done, the game definitely tells you what to do

[jigoku]

i 98% doubt it but lets pretend i didnt trigger the scene where "he asks for help"?
is this now "too late" or something? i dont get it....
and IF i triggered the scene...where is the particular problem then? (a bug?)

[jigoku]

ok seems there is a progress now: went with akiyama to the club again and finally he started talking about the hostess "helping out" ....was somewhat surprised on the other hand i didnt have many alt idejas anyway....
the big confusion was here because unless ALL 4 hostesses are finished with s...you are stuck in some sort of "repeat-loop" with them....

perhaps they could have "left that out" to make it actually more clear with the progress....? *rolleyes*
