The discussion of their relationship puts all the pressure on the MC's back. Josy and Maya are already in a relationship, it is not they who are going to look elsewhere.

M + J say: "We are not forbidding you anything, but whatever you do will be the illustration of how you feel (or not) for us."

So if we want to follow the M + J path, we will have to be discreet if we fool around.

that is a complicated scene, which in my opinion has only the narrative function of calming the players who at that point could be paralyzed by the fear of a false step.

for sure there is a strong scent of trap, made even more cruel by the fact that everything starts from mc who asks if he should be faithful from that point on. but it is clear that it is mc who is under judgment, it is mc who will have to think well about what to do with this freedom that is given to him.

then since we are the players it is normal that the pressure is only on us ... :(

Certainly yes.

There are certain scenes in the game where the player does not have control over what is going on, or has no hint as to what will happen if they continue a chat or go to a location. I think of the scene with Bella in the library after offering to Jill to go on a date.

that was an error in writing

it doesn't make sense that one should avoid her when it is not a date or something established, but a simple passage for a greeting/thanking.

DPC should have given a chance to drop by the library and then decide whether to leave or insist on her

Are the mini games worth playing, im starting new i played this game ages ago when episode 2 came out so don't remember anything. How difficult or annoying are the minigames are, do the rewards justify the grind?

Not in my opinion. I've played it both ways. All you lose out on is a few meaningless scenes and you have to find the money and renders in the game instead of winning them.

Half-n-half, I guess. I like actually going through the motions of the fighting game than just skipping them. Same with the drinking games. But the English test minigame can go fuck itself, even when you're cheating with a list of the words. Tennis game can fuck itself.

Without the minigames, this is just a spacebar simulator. So I like breaking it up with the minigames, even if they're repetitive and kind of dumb.

Hi, which path can I play simultaneously without them being affected in the future?

For example, i can make a path of Sage + Maya and Jossy
and other of Sage + Isabella

Or would it be better to do each route separately?

If you want to follow the story associated with an LI, it is preferable to have a different save for each route. At one point or another in the game (soon in my opinion), we will no longer be able to follow several routes at the same time.

Dating has been confused over time.

Taking a girl out on a date (movies, restaurant, picnic) etc, means you're dating her. You don't know if "this is the one" so you date her to see if you're compatible, you like her, etc.

Putting too much emphasis on dating (must be exclusive) is why people end up in shit relationships. They don't play the field, they just latch on to one person, and if they feel that person isn't right for them, they have a hard time breaking up. And a lot of people just settle because they've invested so much time in the relationship.

If you date a bunch of girls at the same time (like not literally at the same time, but on different days), you've got grounds for comparison, and you're not taking it too seriously. Once you start to get really serious with one girl, that's when you go exclusive, to show her you are serious.

"Dating" is just going out with a girl. When you get serious, the old fashion term used to be "going steady".

America used to follow this approach too. Now everyone takes shit too seriously.

So, if we honest, what MC is doing is actually the proper way to do the whole "dating" thing. So while peoples call him a man whore, He actually just looking for the right one :cool:
