How do I tell if a I have someones orb of light?

[Lucky*Star]

I was planning on playing fuko's route but the game would freeze right after Nagisa offers to let Tomoya stay at her house. I ended up having to reinstall and start a new game to get past this freeze.

Anyway I noticed some of the text I had already read while doing other routes would not let me skip through it as if I never read it.

I am concerned that "fixing" the game may have screwed up someones route. Is there anyway to know I got someones orb of light? The thought of having to replay all the routes does not sound too appealing. I am 45 hours into the game and it would basically be like restarting.

I just wanted to note I started this route earlier in the day and the game auto updated after I closed it to have dinner. So its possible the update screwed up my save. hopefully this was just a issue on my PC and it won't effect other people's saves.

if you did everything correct to get the orb of light then how you see if you got a orb of light is if a scene with just a hand open, and a light coming down from the top of the screen goes down toward the hand. Then once you've seen that if a extra light is on the left side of the title screen where all the grass is then you know you got a orb of light.

Thank you so much this will make troubleshooting easier if I have anymore problems. Its easy to miss those lights on the title screen I guess. I have good news I have 7 lights for the 7 seven routes I know I completed so fortunately my game is not broken.

well, as soon as koumura route is completed, fuko light disappears so in the end you should have 7 when you go into afterstory.

Fuko's route doesn't give a light until afterstory, basically it's set up so that you need to do 10 routes (everything but baseball) to get 8 lights plus Nagisa and Fuko to unlock afterstory.

fuko's route gives a light... but if you've completed koumura's route it disappears

Is there any explanation about why does it happens? I mean in terms of story, will it be somehow explained to me? Just curious because I've heard about light disappearing and I want to understand why. I'm on Fuko's route right now and what's left is Koumura and Nagisa.(I'm using Fuwanovel's walkthrough)

It's in Koumura's route, but if I remember correctly, it was actually during a scene outside of Furukawa Bread, where Tomoya gives the light to Kouko.

Here I'm writing here were are "orb light's" and how to achieve them: Orb light's you will see them before clicking "new game" or "load game" on green background with tree. ( --not-- in the achievments as I thought ) There are blue lights on bottom left corner screen next to tree. If you are already on afterstory you will need them to unlock true ending afterstory (I had problem to unlock from 12/13 to 13/13 of orb light's) After finishing with bad ending afterstory to unlock 13'th orb of light's do " Akio's Path" on this site in this guide: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/921463-clannad/faqs/61132 (there are all "orb light's" on that site ) and after that move before Nagisa's
birth to have different path that will be true ending. I know main question is old but I think people will find in the future this question using google I hope after many years it will still help somone.
