That is if you don't care about helping her with the piano thing later.

There are other games I played 1-3 routes maybe with CTRL, some I barely force myself to finish the 1 route.

But I got give praise to BaDIK.
One of the rare few games I wanna play all paths/affinities. And I'm not talking about AVNs only, but overall.
Same for me. I can't make myself play other games lately even if I have the time. I played the latest Harry Potter game for 30 min and never opened again.
But hell, give me right now episode 10 of BaDIK and I won't come out of the house till I explored every render in it a couple of times over.

Trust me. You can friendzone her at that point and still get enough RPs with her along the way for you to be able to help her at her recital.
I Never could help her if I dropped her anything before bella's couch. If what you say is true its pretty much the same thing you still need to build up enough points tho so you still need to do all the stuff mentioned to get said points. So we are basically doing the exact same thing. At Bella's couch you can stop completely no need to build up more points after that.

I'm not surprised if some people didn't get it (especially if they didn't actually play through the picnic). I'm arguing against people claiming that there was nothing to get. And Jill doesn't cut ties with the MC. She decides to not be his girlfriend. She describes thier relationship as a nice friendship in Episode 9. That's not cutting ties.

Also, it's not a matter of her being understanding or not. Shazba went over this at length. The circumstances are very specific. But the power of denial is strong, and people are still ignoring the context.
Doorknocker we do not ignore the context. The context of Jill's decision regarding the picnic not happening doesn't make sense because we were shown Jill's personality otherwise.

Basically, the story regarding Jill's personality and the game mechanics collide. The game mechanics show us what is happening and contradict the personality of Jill as we have come to know her up to EP6.

Either the game mechanics were awkwardly implemented by DPC or it was done deliberately because of the story. Since DPC is very meticulous, I rather assume so that he wants to create a similar drama for Jill as he did for Zoey. A missed opportunity in life due to a bad decision.

What I wrote above refers purely to the chance of a romantic relationship with Jill. If the player just wants Jill as a friend, I agree with you.

But the Jill example clearly shows us so that DPC wants the player to choose a Branch and to do so as early as possible, without knowing which Branchs we can choose in EP8. The more inconsistent the player is in pursuing an LI (Branch) from EP1, the greater the consequences for the MC.

Many people in real life act worse.

It is normal for someone to look out for their own interests. The Jill-is-upset-about-MC-going-to-help-Sage thing is tiring.
It's my first time discussing this, i'm sure it's going to come up everytime new players join. Very few lack the mental gymnastics to spin this around.

I don't really care much one is bound by scripted events and game mechanics in this case so the outcome will always be the same. For me I just pick the right thing to do and that would be to help your sick friend. Unless for game sake and following the Jill path. If not she will always loose in that scenario for me.

I meant to say *have (not lack, sorry), in a sense that you have to jump a lot of hoops to make a defense for Jill in that scene. The vast majority of new players are going to complain about being punished for doing the right thing, forcing them to do everything all over again to get the girl.

I didn't know this was such a sensitive topic.

Yeah you are right. Lots of discussion about it. I tried to play a complete asshole a couple of playthroughs but that is just not who I am personally so I will slip here and there and that is one of the few places where I usually struggle with morality.

Like the game, this thread is in loops.
Currently in loop #26 "Jill: Picnic VS Sage: BeInG a DeCeNt HuMaN bEiNg" :HideThePain:

Btw, I never tried this, but some of you might have intentionally or unintentionally.
There are subtle differences in expressions and so on in the game, DPC is great in adding those little touches. That said:

Did any of you name your character like Bella's (ex?)Husband? Where there ever any new dialogue options or remarks from Bella?

I just want to confirm what Jumbi said, you can help Jill with her recital without kissing her and thus not activating her route pretty much at all. My MC has done that and has Bianca publicly wetting her panties on not-twitter to prove it.

Nah you guys are right. Just finished a playthrough now testing it. I think what I might have done is forgot to practice at least once in all those playthroughs. Which made the recital fail.
