For me, I go by the following standard (copied and pasted from one of old posts):Hmmmm....let me think.....nah. Don't really care about Zeke one bit from the start so taking away Mika for myself ain't much of a problem for me. As for 9 LIs, really? Is that a serious question? It is never enough. I will admit I am greedy and will gladly take all the girls for myself, but I also understand that not every player is going to be comfortable with that. So that is why I suggest when I make these statements to make them optional, just like all the other girls. That way you at least are able to still keeping in mind people's preferences. Hell I can guess based on some comments already that not everyone is going for all the available love interests we have so far, because they don't appeal to them, while others (like myself) are going for all the girls they can get.
Only reason I might consider taking a friend's girlfriend would be if her character or situation fits one or more of the following:
1) She's not just pretty, but has a really appealing/compelling personality that draws me in.
Applies to Mika? Nope. Her personality comes off as very, very plain (if not non-existent).
2) The boyfriend acts like an asshole towards her.
Applies to Zeke? Nope. He's been nothing but a gentleman towards Mika and a good boyfriend.
3) Is the boyfriend Bi-sexual (got absolutely nothing against gay or bi folks, but if the boyfriend is bi/gay and is less into his girlfriend, why should I leave the poor girl to suffer?
Applies to Zeke? Nope. so far he's been shown as straight.
4) The boyfriend acts like a real douchebag/asshole towards me (MC).
Applies to Zeke? Nope, he's one of the first people to welcome MC in the beginning of the game, and is the primary non-LI character who tries to build real friendship with MC.
I'm actually pursuing all 9 girls (so I'm a pretty big horndog myself
I mean sure, if looks are all one cares about I guess she fits the criteria but for me just having the looks means nothing.
A LI I feel really needs to be backed up by not just the looks, but an engaging & compelling personality and arc (which shows she is fitting to be a LI).
Does Mika have any of that?
Nope....... she has nothing.
Obviously you're okay with MC taking Mika from Zeke (who currently seem to be in a pretty solid relationship with his girlfriend), whereas I don't think that should happen.
All that can be said about it (should vs should not) is "Different strokes for different folks"
Having said that, my personal opinion is, if Mika was not in Lyk4n's initial plans as one of the LIs, I say it is a bad idea to change her into love interest, solely to cater to some folks who wish to steal her away from Zeke (when that wasn't Lyk4n's plan for the character from the beginning).
A LI needs a pretty solid foundation to make a convincing case that she's a LI, and from what we've seen so far, Mika has none of that.
