Who was the best girl for you and best story? (Spoiler free)
So its pretty standard in these games, we all pick our favourite character and maybe a favourite route we enjoyed more than others, who was yous?

My favourite character - Tsumugi. Not gonna lie i wanted to write Ao so many times but i just couldn't, Ao feels more relevant to the story and has more screen time in the common route yet everytime i think of that girl mugyu'ing at the light house, everytime i remember her story and her "past" and how happy as a person she actually is, she kind takes the cake (damn she is cute). But Ao is a close second.

Favourite Route - i can't fully answer this as i haven't finished Kama's route (my new nick for her :3) but its Ao vs TsumuTsumu again, Ao's felt so addicting but part of me was never wanting to finishing Tsumu's route (because the last week thing, kind just made me sad thinking of the ending to come). Ao's only issue was, i saw it all coming a mile away, Tsumugi's did become obvious when you see the picture but it turned that plot in a different way so that was nice.
So not choice yet :D

Anyone wanna share their character opinions/route choices? :D

I have completed 3 routes so far in this order :
Tsumugi Wenders -> Kamome Kushima -> Ao Sorakado

So far, for me Tsumugi shine the brightest in term of favorite girl and route. Her route is short, yet so memorable. If I would say, her route is somewhat like a fairy tale and I love it so much. Yes, I agreed with you that toward the end I feels I don't want the summer vacation to end too. Almost like I can feel Tsumugi in that last days of summer.... And then that climax and ending make me cry a lot. This route really make me "remember that summer vacation when you think it would last forever". Tho in my case, it's not summer vacation since there's no summer here but a long school vacation once every year.

This is probably sound very stupid but, for me her route outshine every single route from all routes I have read in vn including but not limited to Key works. The way the route is so short yet so memorable is definitely something fantastic for me. :Mugyu:

If i take only the "common" route heroines i would say Ao bc she was very funny and her perv mind did a fair deal of jokes. Her route also gives a lot of lore which should have been locked maybe but w/e.
Tsumugi was very cute and heartbreaken especially the end but overall a good route, bc of her route im looking forward to Shizukus route if we get Reflection Blue.
Kamome was weird at first for me bc the story did make it look like u were on the island as a kid bc of the memories and then the revelation was kinda cool i guess? Also how she and her mother tried to fullfill the promise was also sweet but her ending left me a bit unsatisfied
Shiroha well where to start the only spoiler i give is she and another character are the main characters of the story. The "common" route of Shiroha was ok i guess and tbh i wanted to know more about her especially after that ending. But then came the final 2 routes Alka and Pocket. I can only say if ur build near water and got emotionaly invested during the route in the characters it will make u cry, at least i did Q_Q
So if ur asking what my fav Heroine/s were the final route ones

I just hope when we get Reflection Blue that the additional routes are good and maybe giving us some more info/rewritting to fix some issues i guess.
Also that red haired heroines looks interesting.

@Alc - I couldn't agree more, i admit Ao's ranked a bit higher for me but i did hers first which kind of explained more of the lore of the game so it really helped me understand a lot, and i love the concept of the butterflies and how touching them would reveal memories, that was really neat . But yeah that ain't stupid at all, i actually totally agree, a shorter but sweet one is nice, i kinda of took my time with hers just not wanting it to end, but i think it equally matches the games theme, Hairi explains in the start about how when your a kid you don't want summer to end and it feels everlasting, i think Tsumugi's wrapped this one up really well in contrast to his early thoughts.
Oh, and she is adorable as can be :Mugu~ Mugigigigigigi

@Taiketsu - Common route i totally agree, i think the humour and its execution around Ao is likely the reason i went for her first, i kind of just loved the pervy side to them too, she can blame her night trips all she wants (spoiler free), we know its her real nature ;)
i totally thought Hairi had lived on the Island in the past during Kamome's route, this seriously confused me for a while
Shiroha was my issue, in the common route she was hard to like, i normally like shy characters but her hostility didn't do her favours, she was the same when appearing in others routes like Tsumugi's, shame really.
Btw - you seem to know Reflection Blue well, do you know which routes are in it? I really would like a Miki route, or one with Tenzen and Ryouichi (just a fun Slice of life thing xD), awesome to hear Shizuka gets one though, she is a awesome guest character in my opinion, and totally needs a ending, i questioned how close she planned to get in TsumuTsumu's route xD I wasn't bothered about her at first, she was average but man when she jokes about that cheating with her thing... i kind of wanted a option, not to go through with it but to chain a ending from her would be kinda fun :D not that i would betray Mugyu <3

i dont know much about Reflection blue only what on vndb is posted so far.
The 4 new routes are: Miki, Umi, Shizuku and a complete new girl called Kamiyama Shiki https://vndb.org/c87360
I saw an artwork of Key where she sits in the middle of a stormy see with the lanterns of the festival which makes me hope that she maybe has some bigger role/story to tale maybe.
About Shiroha well yeah in her common route you only get slowly info out of her why she is like this. You will learn to love her in Alka/Pocket route i think at least i did bc it was so damn sweet, tragic and loveable at the same time + the 2. main chara for the routes.
Also just remembered on vndb there was a post about a short story about Hitomi (Shirohas mother) and Kyouko as well the Katou family role or better what power they have in a way. Since i cant read japanese i dont know rly what it is except for some small summary that was there.

Um, to me...best girl would probably be Shiroha or Umi, while the best route would be a spoiler. It's the one that begins with an A though.

Sounds like it is exactly what i wanted, I can't say a Shzuku route was a shock, i wanted one but it was also most likely so there is that. Glad Miki gets one, she really was quite good despite being secondary at best, Umi is good though, dunno how that route would go considering who umi is but she was adorable and quite a good laugh (and her VA is brilliant, i love their voice :D)
Glad they added someone new as well, thing is for me, i love getting what we know (the other 3) but a new one here and there adds a new feel to the game, it was like Saya in Little busters (if you played the original before EX or the english official release), she was added as a extra and i quite liked the idea.
Hmm, i will judge Shiroha after i finish everything i guess, i wont make too many judgements prior to that :P

Fried Rice for Life! Umi continues to be best girl and I'm sure you will learn why no one can replace her soon! :D

@Miuna It seems we're on the exact same boat then. Heck, ]we might be able to bounce together in a flash ribbit.

Yep, I even agreed on that Ao route had more depth than the others, well I just completed Shiroha and 'A' route so at least I can say that among the common routes. Actually I want to write about her route too in my first post comment but.... I hesitated because we're talking about the most favorite heroine and routes so I figured I might ended up writing my feelings toward all of the routes I had played haha. I mean if we keep it on the topic, Tsumugi is invincible. Mugyugyu~
Feyster Mar 12, 2020 @ 12:56am 
Yeah, it's not really a good thing to try adding Shiroha to the compare heroine list when you haven't completed the game to 100% yet for...spoiler reasons.
Taiketsu Mar 12, 2020 @ 2:54am 
Well at least from what i got some of the scenario writters were quite new and never worked toghter which is why the story is a bit "rough" around the edges but at least the main focus didnt loose to much out. It could have been better or worse but overall an enjoyable read and hell it made me cry at least and loved Shiroha/Umi a lot after finishing the game.

Best girl: Ao and Umi

Best story: Tsumugi's route, ALKA and Pocket

Just a update from me after finishing the game
My new order would be

Alka -> Tsumugi -> Ao -> Pocket -> Shiroha -> Kamome
I actually did love Kamome's route, i know she is generally seen as the least favourite but the trick it did and just her fun sense of adventure was really fun for me, just the others routes was THAT good, it was hard putting Shiroha so far down.


Favourite Character - Tsumugi -> Shiroha -> Ao -> Ryouichi -> Umi -> Kamome -> Tenzen/Nomiki
Again, Miki and Tezen are great, i just loved the others too much. Umi is great and all but i struggled fitting her in after Shiroha went from my least favourite to one of the best after Alka and Pockets...
