Thanks

[Valdis]

aoi's arc is confusing lol its kind of breaking the 4th wall isnt?

[Joanne Fairchild]

Thanks! Your guide worked perfectly!

[shihofuyu]

Just wanted to share that on my playthrough I had some slight variation despite following this guide in case someone else runs into the same issue. After clearing Charles' route I wanted to selected Himeno on the 12/23 choice, but it kept locking me to Sara's route despite choosing Himeno. So I finished Sara's route first and then started a new playthrough instead of loading save 27 according to the guide but choosing Himeno instead on 12/23 and it worked, shunting me to Aoi after that.

@spidersaur Ultimate Battle of the Fated Encounter contains Event CGs, and scenese unlocked in the gallery/scenario replay options, as well as several achievements, but it DOES NOT affect unlocking of heroine routes. So you can play the heroine routes and enjoy the rest of the story without playing it.

If you are having crash bugs though, you can e-mail MangaGamer's support line = [e-mail] and they should be able to help fix it.

[twisted]

Is there any content unlocked by completing the side episode "Ultimate Battle of the Fated Encounter"? I ask because whenever I complete it my game crashes, and it doesn't seem to record it as complete. I only recently started playing the game so I don't know if I'll get the other side episodes as I go or if I was supposed to unlock the next one upon completion...

[Neptune]

No, i was just asking in advance. But it says in the headline it unlocks all the scenes. My bad, sorry about that. ^^
I think i'll do every girls' route on a slow pace first, before doing it all over with the guide to unlock everything. And i didn't install the x-rated files correctly, so i missed the nsfw stuff in Ricca's story. Atleast that'll make it worth to play it again.

I do have a story-specific question, though.
I hear everyone talking about the "normal arc" and the "weather vane arc". But you finish the prologue, when that Ricca-look-alike girl comes out and tells them the story of the past. That's when the weather vane arc starts, correct? So, what in the world is the normal arc? I thought that weather vane IS the normal arc.

Sorry if my description is off. I'm getting a little confused when it comes to different storylines.

[kouryuu9]

@Neptune Have you finished the guide completely? There are extra scenes and CG for each character that unlock in the True End.

[Neptune]

If i follow your exact achievement guide. Will that lead to all possible CG's aswell? I played my first route and whenever i had the choice i did everything to end up with Ricca. Like, during freetime call her, when i can choose a location where the girls are marked on the map go where she is, etc... Yet i have missed a few CG's. But if i remember correctly there's basically no choices when i'm with her, that could end in alternate / extra CG's. So that means i have to do something different than just hanging out with her when i get the chance?

[kouryuu9]

@Wynnda You don't have to completely repeat each loop, but you'll want to restart for the 4th in order to get the achievement. That's why the guide has you start afresh for Sara's (the final loop) route.
