For me, my most favourite has to be the Errand one from step 3. The Whole Farmers market is so fun, and Cove is such a sweetheart regardless of personality moment.
tbh, my least favourite is when we meet Shiloh again in the DLC 'Serendpity' from step 1 his annoyed me from the get go.
My least favorite was Long Day from Step 1 because I have to spend most of the time with the noncommittal Shiloh, rather than Cove. Even as early as Stage 1, Shiloh kinda gives me the creeps. He strikes me as the kind of kid who grows up to do bad things to animals. There's just an odd spark of sociopath behavior in him.
Generally speaking, I like them all, but I guess if I HAVE to choose, it would be either Ghost from Step 1 because it's a bit boring to me (but at least it doesn't overstay it's welcome), or Late Shift from Step 3, because I really don't like the CG in it - it's of lesser quality than most others, and it really shows. I'm not one to focus on the art, but when it makes a visibile difference, it really bothers me. But considering it's ONLY because of that, I guess if I had to select one of them it would be Ghost.
Now, my favorite is an easy pick. Serendipity from Step 3!
I could go hours and hours gushing about it, really! The reason is fairly simple - Jeremy is my favorite character both in XOXO Droplets and Our Life (yeah, not joking), and the things that happened in this moment were things I dearly wished for while playing XOXO Droplets. So it's like one of my dearest wishes come true.
To begin with, what Shiloh said about Jeremy and JB more or less confirms that route as the canon one for XOXO, and also it really warmed my heart generally speaking.
But more than anything, what I truly wished for, was for the main cast of Our Life - or at least the MC - to meet Jeremy again after all this time, and to actually create some bonds, and BE THERE for him in any way. I think it will be positive for Jeremy on the long run. And that moment made that possible, as long as the rigth options are chosen. It's baby steps, it's still fragile, but it's a start, and I'm SO SO HAPPY.
I was actually squealing for the most part of that moment. It's the only one that made me squeal out loud!
As a bonus, it gave interesting insight in Shiloh's character too, and while I'm still scared of him, it's also the first time in BOTH games I actually genuinely enjoyed his presence and started to like him a bit.
I guess it's weird to place Jeremy in front of everything and everyone else in this game, but I really can't help it.
the only thing I can say that has been really talked about is that The devs have said that with Shioh's personality they had no way of predicting one true way he would develop when he was older so he woudn't be able to be an LI in the sequal.
if anyone happens to be a patron they can find even more information about this by searching xoxo droplets on their patron.
in fact Jeremy showing up in Our Life as a cameo was because he won an patron poll before the game came out. I'm pretty sure that Nate came in second and that's why he also "appeared" without a sprite because it was a close vote. (I voted for Everett myself).
I'm not sure I have a least favorite. maybe Summerwork when when the go to the library to do summer homework. I always hated that myself. lol but even then I like that I can have my MC either be upset and stressed over it or have it not be important. so, ugh. whatever. maybe I don't have one.
My favorite moments are either Reflection during step 3 because i've always be curious about Cliff and Kyra's relationship and why Cliff got full custody of Cove. I have to admit when I first started playing the game even as Patron It took me a long time to warm up to Kyra because I couldn't figure out why she didn't fight for custody and I was very protective of Cliff that was trying his hardest to raise a troubled son mostly on his own. wiith Cove butting heads with him at all times through it all.
but during this moment hearing Kyra's consern that Cove saw her as more of a "fun aunt" than a mom and Cove reasured her that he loved her and she was always his mom and no aunt. It made this gal all teary-eyed. and then Cove had to go and give his dad a big old hug and tell him how good of a dad he is. more tears their too.
the other is Diner if you tell Cove about the 20$. It might cause a scene and Cove gets upset initially but seeing he and Cove come to terms with what lack of communication can do to a family and wanting to make things better going farward is such a good outcome. and I felt that Kyra understood that she really need to be involved more too. Cliff really *couldn't *do it all on his own. no matter how much he wants too.
I agree it was a very beautiful touching moment i always wanted cove to tell his mom and dad that he loves them very much since he can be very cold towards both of them and i understand why but it still made me sad or both parents even when Kyra showed up in step 2 Cove wassnt very welcome to her i wassnt happy with that but because of this it made me so happy cove applogized to his father for being so cold towards him made me so happy and we also find out why cove's arm was broken in step 1 FINALLY
Cove's treatment of Kyra made perfect sense to me once I read that Cove is mildly on the Autism spectrum (see here)[gb-patch.tumblr.com]. He doesn't like change or surprises because they disturb him. His first time sneaking into the MC's room was brought about by the knowledge that she was coming to Sunset Bird, instead of him going to her. So he was motivated to make such a large effort for support only because he learned of a surprise being planned. Initially I thought news of his mother's visit was happy news, because he clearly loves her (having tried to run away to her), so on my first play-through I didn't understand why he was so upset by this. But Cove didn't like that his normal process was being replaced by something else and done without warning. During the restaurant conversation, he states clearly that he was upset simply because the regular arrangement of him visiting Kyra had changed, but no one told him. If you notice, Kyra even offered to return to the predictable pattern by having him come to her home, as if she knew that the predictable pattern was what would fix Cove's feelings. However, once Cove found out it was one of Cliff's secret plans, everyone seemed to understand the situation and decrease their stress.
There are a few other moments throughout the game that Cove reacts very typically as someone with an inability to deal with unpredictability, for example, when he discovers he has to meet Shiloh. I found that when I played through the game knowing that he has this condition mildly, so many of his reactions finally felt sensical and I deepened my "friendship" with the character.
if youve played any of the other games the developer has made shiloh in our life is an upgrade to what his earlier character was in the other games lmfaooo
Yikes! I knew he was in one other game, along with Jeremy, but I didn't realize he was worse. I understand he's even a love interest there. No thank you!
The protaganist in xoxo droplets doesn't even believe that Shiloh actually likes her when she's dating him no matter what he says, by the end she's sort of, kinda still trying to make up her mind if he has any feelings *at all* for her and wants to know if he'll even acknowledge her when they leave the school and he's like "of course I will!" and it's a big ??? if the player believes that or not. I came away from his route thinking that if shiloh ever really did fall in love their might be a cage (think Amnesia Memories) in that girl's future)
the devs took that a step further in xoxo blood droplets that is their murdererific parody to their otome where Shiloh *is* a total yandere.
STAGE 1
Least fav was the Ghost moment. While I did have a fair amount of nostalgia playing it, I just wasn't as interested in the outcomes as I was other moments in that stage. It also felt very short compared to the other moments.
My favorite was a tie between the library and sleepover. I've always loved books personally and I enjoyed how the writers incorporated them into both of those moments. They just had a very genuine and realistic feel to them.
STAGE 2
Most of the moments I truly enjoyed were in this stage, but if I had to pick a least favorite it'd probably be the birthday moment. Middle school age is about where the appeal of big parties where you're forced to mingle lost their appeal to me as an introvert, and while it was cute and I enjoyed Miranda, there were just other moments this stage I enjoyed more.
My favorite overall would have to be the road trip. I've always loved going on vacation when I can and I like hiking and mountains alot. I also felt like it had some of the best moments narratively with the two families. The dialogue was just really enjoyable.
STAGE 3
Errands was actually my least favorite of this bunch. Probably because personally being left alone by my family at the market is more of an issue I would have at the 8 or 13 stage rather than 18. I'm one of those get what I need and go types when I'm shopping, so I'm perfectly happy being left alone to do my thing. Especially since the parents were still in the general area. Just had a harder time connecting to the emotions in this one.
My favorite was a tie between Boating and Drive. I liked how many different scenarios were present depending on the levels of affection and personalities of both Cove and the MC. I also like trips with friends, so I enjoyed the realistic dialogue that seemed to be present in both routes.
1. I love RV's and going places especaily with people i love/like while i've never been in an RV they seem super cool, and when i do go on raodtrips its always fun!
2. Cuddling with cove. No explanation needed
My favorite moment would probably be fireflies =) and I love the way they come up again and again later in the story. Nothing important about the bugs themselves obviously, but the way they are used to rekindle those fond memories, and share those really powerful emotions again later in their life. I think Ill always picture Cove sitting on that hill with fireflies all around and the ocean rolling in and out in the background.
Edit: I wonder just how tired i was when typing this post that I kept spelling his name wrong = / Note to self, No posting after midnight lol
