Call Sage (♥♥♥)

[Antum.bit]

I get the scene where MC calls Sage just to say I miss you(If we choose that 'I miss you' option)
Is it a clue that the MC and Sage would start relationship?

[DMaple]

It's impossible to say for sure what Dr PinkCake's has in mind. He is good at misdirection and plot twists!

It certainly did give me the same impression however. That Sage perhaps is more serious about MC than she lets on or is willing to admit.

Thanks for confirming btw. Totally agree with you. My kind of expectation is MC would rather get Josie & Maya or Jill. Sage is less expected. But because the scene, keen to explore it!

I think the mc will pretty much get an option to start a relationship with all of the main girls , hence why they are main girls.
Sage may not love you in that way at the start but it seems like you get closer and closer slowly(the movie night for example) and relationship will happen.

I agree @GlitterCandy. If it turns out to be any thing like his previous project Acting Lessons than we will ultimately have the option of pursuing a number of different potential romances.

I also believe the dev chose the typical direction of romance vns , as in none of the girls which you can end up with really have anyone else pursuing them except for jill , making them obviously dateable later on in the story.
now even with jill , she shows absolute no interest in the guy pursuing her and he comes off more as a deseperate and annoying guy even in the eyes of some other characters.
examples , spoilers though:
Josy's boyfriend turned out to be maya(might even be hot in the eyes of many) , and you're even given the option to go for a threesome route , bella seems to have marriage complications and her husband is so far non-existent , chad from the start cheats and doesnt seem interested in sage(the fact that despite being her bf he only gave her a peck on the forehead when asking for help). while you can have fun with them , none of the thots seem like they will be dateable)

i think the movie night is a turning point for the MC and Sage if you dont stay with her that's the 1st time shes willing to be seen with the MC

That's a good point. Wouldn't mind seeing some of the girls have other "options" forcing you to have to make decisions on who to pursue - if they're all available all the time, it takes a major stress-factor out of the equation.

I agree. Pursuing any one particular girl should have some form of consequence with the others. The resulting tension adds to the story and it also adds more replay value to the game by forcing you to play through multiple times in order to see all of the available content. It's also for these reasons that I don't think there will ever be a true harem ending.

Jill and Sage are fine with the MC seeing other women but I wonder if that's going to become the Maya/Josy storyline of season 2

Yep - or imagine seeing some dude with your preferred girl at a party or something, basically finding out that she's seeing other people (even if you're not), lol. :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they've reached the point where they've defined their relationship.

The Tennis date with Jill may be a step forward but they haven't talked about being exclusive.

As for Sage being buddies means that exclusivity is not on the table (yet).

Eh, after the tennis date you can discuss the fact that you're also seeing other women with Jill, and she's ok with that, as you're currently not in a romantic//exclusive relationship.

And kinda same with Sage? You can be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ at this point, but that hardly seems like an exclusivity thing.

In both cases they didn't establish that they were at that stage so you're right, there is nothing exclusive.

Nothing is defined with anybody at this point no, but we know it wont stay that way.
