As far as the ending goes, it's hard to say when we're still so far out.I can't actually imagine how all the LI stuff will play out in a game like this. Normal games (BaD, AL, Intertwined, etc) all have current day settings where you can picture marriage, kids, etc.
What the hell would it be like here and how will it be shown? Epilogues and time-jumps? Maybe DURING the final chapter or so with the girl you've picked or committed to. (In my case, Katie) I mean, will he have to do scenes and renders for whatever girl you decided you wanted to be with (I would think all of them are going to survive until the end but who knows. Stella died in DA though not officially an LI)
Does Katie go back to her clinic with the MC by her side? Marriage? Kids? Does him and Ellen go off somewhere? I'm so curious as to how the actual love interest thing is going to pan out. At the end of DA there was a few scenes with my LI Carli that I liked.
I do hope the payoff with the LIs at the end isn't some cheesy Epilogue with each girl. Yes, this is what I think about with games like this and characters I really care about.
And fuck me sideways I didn't expect to post something this long for this response.
If I were to speculate with wild abandon, I think we'll probably get a short montage of the main characters saying goodbye before they go their own separate ways. That will simultaneously give them a chance to explain what they want to do next and allow us some parting words. The MC and his chosen girl will also get a "voiceover" to further set up their plans, and provide the requisite poignant commentary on everything they experienced.
That seems like the best fit for the genre; no happily ever after, just the chance to live on your own terms for another day.
