I'm not sure where the hell you lot got the idea that humans destroyed the elf kingdom. I don't remember anything like that being in the game. I'm pretty sure it was implied that Lyriel is an exile, though we don't know why the elves exiled her.

Is she? I'm not really sure what happened, just that the way everyone talked there made it seem like something happened. Well hope we get some more insight soon.

I'd imagine its just a case that humans are the more dominant species in Lyriel's homeworld. Its not that the Elves were conquered, especially if there are those who call themselves Trueborn. It's probably more likely that humans breed faster and more often than elves. Lyriel just looks down on humans presumably because of the old trope of elves looking down on other races.

Regardless, there might also be an old taboo among the elves about relations with human, possibly among the humans, though from Lyriel's introduction, I'd imagine its more on the elven side.

That said, I'd imagine Lyriel was sent to live with her aunt for a time because, well, she's a pain in the ass before the character development kicks in. Either that or someone thought it might be a good thing to spend time among other races.

maravilloso juego, suerte al desarrollado, alguien sabra algun juego con la tematica de la elfa ? esclava liberada? soy nuevo en este tipo de juegos y no se como buscarlos

English: wonderful game, good luck to the developed one, someone knows a game with the theme of the elf? freed slave? I'm new to this type of game and I don't know how to look for it: D

I dont remember much,but at one time,Lyriel does mention about her home world story in her room.But,she cut it short.If I remember correctly she say like this"We also have this plants in my home(castle)."and then she talk about her father and brother.then"Its all good back then,until..."She have a sad looks on her face then she want us to leave her room without finishing her story

I think at some point,Human take down the elf world and some of them get exiled.The others get executed.And their situation is like they dont have any place to go(exiled)which is the reason Taena whoring herself to the human and open a tavern.Lyriel maybe still young when she get exiled

We don't even know that, just that humans are the majority in that particular part of her world.

Right, because she was exiled. Nothing there implies anything you're reading into it.

Try talking to Rae, sometimes she takes part in the dreams.

A second lasts forever, a minute is eternity, a year passes in a blink.

I see you rate them all as #1.
Yet, some are placed higher than others...
Clearly...
Some are more equal than others...

Man, I'm pumped for the update, but I want to fuck Cait so bad. The BDSM thing wasn't really my jam, the Haloween thing was nice, but god damn it's not enough

 

[loverloverlover]

Damn can't wait.

 

[Master of Puppets]

I'm just glad we finally get to share some pleasure with Lyriel at last. With Cait at least there are as many scenes of us pleasuring her as there are of her pleasing us, but with Lyriel things were entirely one-sided up until now. Not that I don't want to go further with Cait of course, but for me personally Lyriel needed it more than Cait despite Cait waiting for longer.

So I do not know if Zanith sees all main cast girls as equal or not, but I do think there is a clear hierarchy between the girls in terms of content. And I think it is better this way. It makes a lot more sense to me that Rae, who has been there since day one would be a lot closer with MC than an orc lady.
I love this game. No other game gave me this serene-bittersweet feeling as much as this one. But the story seems to be moving INCREDIBLY slow. I understand Zanith, there are hundreds of events for Rae but Yona has been just released so he wants to continue working on Yona and Lyriel. Also introducing Yona before Lyriel's main story arc was finished(or at least before her cherry was popped) was a mistake imo.
The last thing to happen story wise was bringing the pool to the house(it's a minor story point if at all) and before that? I can't honestly remember.
Bottom line, I love this game with all my heart, I just wish the story would atleast crawl forward. Maybe bigger but less frequent updates? I fell in love with this game because of the story and the feeling it gives me. Being in ether but also finding comfort in an unlikely group of friends. Rae showing vulnerability, Cait and Naomi's incredible friendship, Rae and Lyriel's fun banter. We have not been getting enough of those.

If the game is going to have multiple girls, it's better for the player to encounter them sooner rather than later. Since each girl is being introduced in a set order, requiring you to "complete" one girl's content to see the next one instead of seeing what girls are in the house and pursuing your favorites first can put off a lot of players. Unless of course you just mean you wanted Lyriel's content quicker and having Yona added delayed it, but that's just personal preference. Other players may have appreciated a new girl.

I actually agree that while this game has a fantastic amount of side content, the main story is moving rather slowly. What is there has been great, I just wish we had more of it, or at least more content with multiple girls interacting with each other. Interactions between multiple girls, which I love, IS trickier to work into these types of games however. Keep in mind every time a girl has character growth, it may require scenes to be locked until said growth, or two scenes made for pre and post growth. With multiple girls this issue compounds. While you can generally control this by having additional trigger requirements, it does make things trickier by having to remember every possible game state that may need those triggers. Granted a more linear story where you do most of one girl's content before the next is introduced (like you stated previously) actually is one possible solution to this, but like I said a lot of players hate that restriction. Absolutely would love to see more main story and interaction between multiple girls, though.

Honestly my only complaint about this game is that the way the actual gameplay is structured has it devolving into a trigger hunt. What I mean by this is that whilst the story is good it does not convey well what you need to do next. And the triggers for that are very specific as well.

This all combines to create quite a lot of situations where there is no intuitive way to guess what you need to do to progress with a girl. I mean, how do you guess you need to talk to X on day Y while she is in room Z? So the in game walkthrough that is the phone becomes an essential part of playing. And that just completely breaks the immersion as you'd expect.

I think the dev should consider some more immersive way to get those hints across. Either by making the triggers more intuitive or by adding more "in character" notifications to the player such as dialogue, internal monologue etc.
