Your favourite part of VN - Thread with SPOILERS

[*^SaoSin^*]

I am just simply curious which part or doors people liked here most and why.

For me it would be second doors, I wasnt expecting something soo twisted and dark after what I saw in the first chapter honestly and it came with big shock to me. But as a result all my doubts about this game were gone at that point :)

How was that for you people?

Hi! Maybe this thread would be easier to discuss in the "spoiler discussions". Not sure, though.
Anyway, to me yours is a difficult question. Out of the first three doors, Id choose the first. Some say first door is slow and even slightly boring, but I love the story telling, and I really didnt expect merryful Nelly to be so twisted. Although the 2nd door comes close because of the same reasons. Also, the murder of the second "beast" killed me. It really did. As for the rest of the VN, I also loved the part of Michel and Giselle in the mansion, probably because of the music tracks, and also the tale of Morgana (the one she herself tells) .
Oh, well, I am not sure this answer may help satisfy any of your curiosity, but this VN has had such a big impact on me, from the first word to the last one, that I simply cant choose a single door or chapter.

Hi. Yeah and thanks for moving it. Whoever did that. I almost never participate in discussions on steam forums at least not to much making important threads... soo thats something new I didn't notice there were threads for spoiler discussions.

Thx for participations I appreciate that :)

Honestly, I loved the whole game start to finish. Each chapter had its own respective grip on me.

Though I personally found the third door the weakest IMO; it was one of the only reveals I was able to predict, and it didn't help that I detested Jacopo's character in that chapter either. Well that all changed after finishing the game (damn you Jacopo, I like him.. but I don't.. but I do LOL). I think that scene where after he asks for Morgana to smile at him (and understandably she couldn't), then he shows that first & last smile while he says goodbye.. that really got to me.

I also genuinely loved Michel and Giselle's relationship. They're so sweet and awkward with each other, and their love really tugged at my heartstrings. Giselle's song (from the OST) amplified that during their scenes.

My absolute favourite part was probably Michel's back-story chapter though. I think the scene where it shows how he felt he was betrayed by his beloved brothers (from his original perspective) and being killed by Didier himself just tore my heart out. He kept telling himself not to cry, but he couldn't help it. Then it shows that CG of all 3 of them together, with a tear rolling down his child counterpart's cheek; that really hurt. I felt so genuinely bad for Michel (considering how much his brothers meant to him).

My other fave part was that scene where Michel has that final showdown with the 3 guys. That CG with all 3 at the dinner table is probs my fave CG from the game. It definitely felt intense.

Aaand I'm gonna shut up now, cause I could go on forever about this game haha

There were so many great parts, but one of my favorites was the fourth door. The story itself serves it's purpose really well. The whole time I was thinking "What is this? She just fell in love with him out of nowhere? This isn't at all like the other three."

But the best thing about it is the text log. I've never seen anyone talk about it, so I'm not sure if people didn't notice it or it just didn't stand out as much as I did, but there's a lot of interesting things when you scroll back during the fourth door. The way the text X's out the fake parts, the mysterious conversation, and a few other lines of text you can see only when you scroll back, all alert you to the fact that something is very wrong and make so much more sense once you go back and reread them. There's also some red text at the beginning of the door's story by Morgana but I only saw it in my second playthrough so I have no idea if it's there the first time around. Either way it was such a cool touch and really added to the experience for me.

[frankwlux]

In another thread, someone talked about that discrepancy between what they had read and the text log. They thought there was something wrong. The translator said it was on purpose, though. It is just as you said, a little bit of foreshadowing.

[Morgana]

Yeah, the text log in the 4th chapter was amazing! It did appear the first time too and there are other red texts other than the one at the beginning of the door's story. The hidden conversation between Morgana and Michel was one of my favorite things.

[TheTrooper007]

In general I think the latter half of the story is much much better than the first half, though that isn't supposed to be a strike against the early bits or anything. Probably my favorite bit is chapter 5 with the beginnings of the love story between Giselle and Michel. Overall though, Morgana becoming a character along with the overarching plot finally coming into center stage made the stuff towards the end a lot more impactful to me.

My overall ranking for the chapters looks something like this, though the middle section of the ranking is definitely a grey area: 5 > 8 > 3 > 7 > 6 = 1 = 4 >2.

[*^SaoSin^*]

Comments here are speking my mind basicly. I think that everything had its own place in this novel. Breaking through illusions and reality, uncovering all the diffrent piecies about each character.

This wouldn't be possible if story was changed. Everything had purpose for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ our emotions towards all characters. Starting with hate, disgust, and ending on pity, sympathy and sometimes admiration.

Even I was surprised that I could understand Yukimasa. His partially lost mind with shadow of guilt for his murders. Done and before done. After speking his mind I couldn't describe him as deranged beast or psychopath. He just looked like a lost human being. With still many secrets not even known for him.

It demands a lot of courage to make story based on time travels looking reliable for all characters development. It really left a feeling of an incredible journey with many diffrent stories from diffrent perspectives.

PS: Well and I am gonna look forward to prequel I hope it will give some new light on that known already story. Although I am not gonna expect too much :)

The final scene w/ Didier was best for me - actually shed tears.

[Cute Tea Goat]

My favorite scene is Michel seeing the portrait his brother painted. The sense of betrayal and despair is really strong, comes across great, and the music really sells the whole thing.

Oh gosh, that scene was so powerful. The song that plays (called Portrait of White) was excellent in building that tension and the song's name suits the scene rather well

[Missilepom]

My favorite part is when Morgana chooses not to forgive the three men in the final scenes of the game. It really sends home a powerful message about letting go of hatred and how that doesn't necessarily equate to forgiveness

This well-written article basically echoes my thoughts on this theme: https://nemuromemorialhall.wordpress.com/2016/08/05/redemption-without-forgiveness-the-house-in-fata-morgana/

All good points. My experience with the game is far too recent for me to rank my experiences. Which was best? I don't know. I can tell you a part that I wish I could change. the fate of the white haired girl. Her only crime was wanting to live. And while all the character ostensibly end up better off in the distant finale, she doesn't. And her absence in the story is keenly felt by the latter half. I wonder about her final fate and what the part of her that Michel kept with him was. I understand the reason and hope that Morgana eventually fully reconciles her own tortured soul with her saintly half. But I mourne her still. Does any of her remain, would Morgana stop despising what is essentially, the best, most pure intent within herself? More importantly I also wanted to know how Morgana was doing by the point of the distant finale. Questions I know have no answer. Probably not in Requiem either.

My favorite part, if i should consider ALL the experience with Requiem too, is the ending of Requiem indeed, the scene where Jacopo imagine his future in Italy with Morgana.

If we are talking just of the base game, i can say i loved Door 1, 5 and 7.
- I loved the presentation of the White Haired Girl in door 1, so rich with mistery about her figure.
- Nothing to explain about love story Giselle + Michel xD
- and the past of Michel/Michelle, i was really excited of Michel growing and feeling these urges inside him. I like to think his "intersex" state means that he is both female AND male.....because i've totally fell inlove with HER while we thought she was female XD

[Missilepom]

Intersex means that you are, biologically speaking, neither male nor female.
