I was speaking more specifically about routes that immediately lock you into the route that snowballs and simply put doesn't stop, there's no breaks, it happens in the Family route too if you allow Ayame to stay home to take care of grandpa. The problem is that these scenarios just completely lock you out of any and all free roam.There's at the very least 3 times the game warns you that if you keep going that you'll be locked and three times the game gives you an opportunity to not go deeper into that route, not to mention the countless opportunities to make a save before the big decision.
I don't mind so much if it just locks you into the route all together, but, the fact that they completely lock you out of free roam just bugs me. In the Garcia route it doesn't take that long at all to get locked into it where it forces one scene after another and another even without you intentionally stepping onto the [EV] signs, it takes control of Ayame away from you no matter how far away from the gate to their house that you are, just approaching anywhere near those gates within I think a 10 by 10 tile step forces control of Ayame away from you and makes her walk into the [EV] for the event trigger. That's the sort of thing I don't like about it locking you into these routes.
And about the clothes options, I completely understand the argument, I just think it'd be nice. Some games offer the same thing but with limitations such as an event trigger check, stating "Must be wearing (x) to trigger this scene" -- so you'd just go home & change real quick then it's no big deal.
