I tried playing without recruiting Cait at all, some descriptions will have you remembering what Cait said when she went there with you (never), some NPCs may mention her without having met her... No matter what you do, ghost Cait will haunt you forever.
No no, you misunderstand.
If you remain loyal to Kotonoha she'll reward you in the end. Best route.
Can you even play the game legit without essentially cheating or breaking the system with magic or teasing?
I've seen that title be thrown around but what is about exactly? I know it's considered one of the best romance VN's made like twenty years ago. Don't think I've ever actually read a real romance VN. The closest is the original fate night VN which is mediocre at best, Ace Academy which was ok, it was amusing at least lol and Crystalline which is was a generic, fantasy VN with a saber clone and a shit fuck ending lol
Emotion killer simulator.
If you want to play legit without Cait, you're pretty much forced into being a white mage yourself. Maybe lowering the difficulty can work too, but I'm not sure.
Is that what you've heard? From what I know, it seemed a lot more divisive. In any case, it's mostly famous for its bad ends, which get really dark.
Now now, don't just say bad endings.
How do you accomplish that? Is there a timer when you have to answer questions, so you can avoid answering by waiting it out? or does the game give you the infamous "…" or "(Stay silent.)" reply as a dialogue option?
You're expecting too much, they might die of brain overload if you ask for outrageous stuff that are beyond their skill.
Every time you see the choices, you get a timer of sorts and if you didn't choose any, that will count as a choice where you didn't choose at all which can lead to some interesting and funny interactions.
Oh God now I don't know if I'll ever play this game lol. Hidden stuff like that gives me anxiety lmao I really don't want to miss it.
Trust me, not even all of 30 pages or something full of save files are enough...
Exactly how is the VN a emotion killer? People dying horribly off? people getting mutulated, raped, tortured, NTR stuff?
Let's just say they're good at how they manipulate your emotions if you got invested aka when you enjoy a good VN.
Playing as a solo white mage gotta be boring as hell, not to mention really slow lol
Oh no, you're going to need teammates ASAP if you want to play as a white mage lol. It's just that you'll be able to manage without Cait being in the party if you do her job yourself.
First you must be a white mage, recruit Brint and Atugia then grind to level 3, defeat the Alraune and keep going north till you reach winter city and fight Gytha. You'll get loads of xp for defeating her over and over.
