Yep, that hurts a lot. I'm honest. I played it the first playthrough but after that I skipped it most of the time. I'm strong enough to admit I had pipi in my eyes every time.

I haven't skipped it on any of my unique playthroughs ... partially 'cause I can't help myself, but mostly because I always make a save at the rose ...

I should have done that...

Just saw it, in all it's variances, 12 times...
I think that qualifies as "ripping the bandage off" ...

I'm going to have to make another run soon ... last two were Lexi and Cece ... Maybe a Linda run.
Out of curiosity, are you playing with final music or original music?

Final music. Reading on the OP and Sancho's mod page, it seemed there is an issue with the original play list - proper file set is gone or something. Since I didn't have any nostalgia for the "original", coming into this as it presently exists, I just went with what was readily there.

Yea, it's still a good ST, but if you heard the original you definitely miss some stuff.

I didn't explore exhaustively, by any means, but what led to the change? Copyright? Change of heart or vision by Drifty?
Drifty put it on Steam after finishing 7, and sometime between when he got agreements to use the music and when he put it on Steam the main service he contracted from modified their fine print to exclude adult material, and they made a claim almost immediately and Steam yanked it. Took him something like 2-3 months to get it relisted after pulling all the music. The music he got back was all via directly dealing with the individual artists. Some came through, some flat out said no, others didn't respond.

I don't know if it was part of the original line up, but I could see Johnny Cash doing Nine Inch Nails fitting into a few of the scenes. Gut wrenching song...

Hurt? Damn, that is a good idea, but the closest thing to a "mainstream" song is auld lang syne. There is some really nice music though. If you look up youtuber "Dead" he has playlists of all most of the original soundtrack songs. I don't think Chap. 8 has any new ones, just ones that were cleared for use from the first 7 chapters, so everything in the game is there plus the stuff no longer in the game.

Going through Chapter 8 and just did my Lexi path, not all the way to the end, but I've just arrived back at the airport after visiting Kira (saw that coming when I saw her last name in Chapter 6 or 7 ;)).

I'm confused: was the trip to Lexi's and her final "scene" all a daydream? Because you're suddenly deciding to drop in on her, then you're back on the park bench, and then you go to your apartment, see Robin, then fly to see Kira. Did I miss something in the text saying that MC had visited her maybe a few days before, or that he just thought about it and came up with an elaborate scenario?

Maybe I missed some dialogue. May go back and redo that when I get through some other stuff, but a daydream/fantasy would be a weird way to tie off the relationship part of that particular path...

Also, I was expecting to see something interactive at the newsstand that allowed me to see either Linda splashed on a magazine or a news article about the old man that got hauled off after talking to you - some radical Imam or something caught in the States trying to visit his long lost grandson or something. Just struck me as odd to have it prominently there, and nothing come of it. Or, maybe I missed something there. No Sancho alert on either a CeCe, Lexi or Kira/Robin path play...

Aw, hells, naw!
Aaahhh... Here we go again. The xth "pineapple doesn't belong on pizza" debate. Years ago I visited the Pizza Museum in Naples. The museum guide said there's only one rule about pizza: made them how you like them and anyone who wants to dictate how a pizza should be hasn't understood what a pizza is. That's what the italian "pizza scientists" in that museum said. I think they're right.
