VN Ren'Py Friends in Need [S1 v0.85c] [NeonGhosts]

[Dessolos]

One of the the things I love about this game is that there are no characters I don't like (well - aside from the baddies who you're supposed to dislike). There are not a lot of games I can say that about. I can't drop them all because of it, because I'd be down to about half a dozen AVNs, but it's always irritating when the dev forces you to like / hang out regularly with / have a relationship with characters you can't stand - but FiN gives you a dozen or so well written, likeable potential Lis AND makes everything with them optional. There is no one I'd drop from this game if I had the power.

im a little bit of the opposite opinion when it comes to forcing you to hangout with characters you dislike. I actually don't like it when going off a path means they are basically not in a story anymore and you never spend time with them. For me personally I prefer it when going off a path just means no romance but they still show up from time to time as friends , acquaintances or plot points.

Tho forcing a MC to say they love them or whatever when not on a path is something I do not like I perfer it when a MC stays more neutral on that subject unless it's clearly a romantic moment with the character / give the player an option in what way to respond.

If they're a main plot point, then you kinda have to have them but in that case the MC needs a motivation beyond love/lust otherwise the story kinda breaks - if you're running off to do something purely as a favor for a character you hate or have no interest in or "yeah, I told her she could come live with us, even though I've only met her a few times and deeply dislike her." If interaction with a character is mandatory for the story, it has to be well written enough that your feelings about that character are irrelevant.

Then why are you here? This game isn't for you (albeit for dumb reasons), fine, whatever. Leave.

True tho my mindset when I made that replay was more or less a LI that is a friend / childhoood friend that you just dislike for example. In a case like that I don't think they need to have a story reason to keep hanging out with them as it would feel odd or weird to me if that happened when not on their path. Unless there is a no friend path for example over something they did. A character like that I see as no path should just mean no romance but not less of them even if there is no plot reasons for them being around.

You got a problem with me?

I have a problem with your bad taste. Ashe is S tier. Only Viola and maybe Britt are in the same tier.

I have a problem with your bad taste. Ashe is S tier. only Viola and maybe Britt are in her tier.

I only agree with Ashe but for me Risa and Nicki are also in the S tier. Viola id put in the A tier because of her last update Britt for me is either B or C tier I need to see more of her. I like what I have seen so far when it comes to Britt but until she gets her update it's hard for me to put her any higher cause to me she is mostly looks and super nice with a terrible mother and that's it and looks rarely matter to me in AVN's. I just honestly have a hard time ranking Britt if im being honest despite liking her alot.

And I have a problem with all the garbage you have said in this thread before. You know it's funny I got an infraction point for calling someone an arse but you tell me to go fuck myself and what a shock no punishment for you.

To each his own of course but what do you mean about Viola last update? I didn't like her last update because she went form naivety to cynicism out of nowhere.

Maybe that's because my comment was an obvious joke about your disliking of Ashe

The last update Viola was in when you took Mason Shopping I thought all the Viola scenes were amazing and made me really like her character alot and made her go up in ranking as to me it showed how great of a character she is. Before I was a little unsure about her other than wanting to help her. Tho I may be a little bias because these 2 screenshots I loved

For me that is Gabby and Mason just because im not interested in their romance paths even tho I do like Mason for Example. tho Gabby I don't like really.

I said I don't care about her sexually, not that I dislike her, but whatever. I'm sick of all this crap anyway, so I'm out of here.

Let's get back on track now. Enough with the dumb shit clogging up the page. Opinions are valid, so just accept someone else's without the nasty comments.
Ignore this warning and further action including thread locking or thread reply bans may be used.

 

[PHIL101-YYouPPHard]

Not that anyone cares, but just to clarify, I like all the LIs as characters. Not a single character I'd remove, either. Not even the dudes, which is funny because usually in most VNs, they are maddeningly irritating. I think the difference between this game and others is that while some characters may be written as annoying, they aren't written annoyingly, if that makes sense. That, and they contribute to the story and clearly there's some idea in the author's head of what they want, who they are, etc.

Has it come back full circle to doing tier list again?

 

[Pixillin']

I couldn’t do a tier list for this game. Nicky would be at the top and everyone else would be one step down.
