Quite another thing: would you like to watch the "Actresses" of Nami and Bella in another "movie"?
Then take look at The Falling Reloaded

they really dont look similar imo.

and the mc of this game is even more of a crybaby compared to nika lol. An angel who ruled hell but needs a second personality who does all the cool shit (we play the lame personality) ..

its still somewhat decent

Coaches Hill and Stahl have a Katie Zane-approved plan to supplant the ZPR 1st team basketball coaches. The after-school training is preparation towards carrying out the plot, not the plot itself.

I found Coach Hill's admission about "Miss Zane" interesting because it means Katie Zane has a mechanism (i.e. an excuse) to interact with Nika/Nami outside of the book club and AWAY from Nojiko. With such an alternative, why did Katie attend the book club meet when Nojiko would obviously be there? Why not wait until basketball training? Was she deliberately rubbing her presence in front of Nami/Nika in Nojiko's face? I think it's reasonable to assume that Katie Zane knows Nika and Nami are playing basketball.

Yes, exactly. Her car leaves the uni after the basketball game, after the uniforms are delivered. I can't imagine she wouldn't be interested in how ergonomic the uniforms were in their first real test, and how easily Nika ripped one.

What if Nika is literally a Cyrus with no Zane, and she's purely interested in the characters that her plot for uniform supremacy/first team/coach Hill-Stahl requires and that is all she dreams about? Currently the Zane speculations are 100% conjecture (although I'm hoping Nika is, because that would be aesthetically pleasing and are at least 99.782145% plausible). I think it's still important to note no one knew Nika would be there, other than Nami, Mila, Vic, Bella and maybe Nia (can't remember if he told her what he was doing after). Noji didn't know until they left. So who told Katie Nika would be there? Vic? Bella? She was there to see Nami if she was there to see any of them. She talk to Nika in passing, like you would a prize stallion who's going to shoot hoops an win prestige for your cunning AVN plot.

Oh, you're so far behind the current plot.

The MC has now become the ultimate Edgelord.

In the last two chapters since you played, the MC somehow brought himself a social media company, started a rocket-launching enterprise, and also dabbles with the production of electric motor vehicles.

In Ch 5, the MC became convinced the human race is on the verge of population collapse, so he impregnated Bella, Nami, Nadia, Nia, Victoria, Mila, Sonja, Sasha, Robin, ...in fact, he impregnated them all (postscript - Nadia isn't at all impressed with the MC naming their child Banana Cheesecake Zane and Victoria still doesn't understand why the MC named their child Flavum Faciem Risum Zane).

As the rightful heir to the Zane family fortune, he kicked the Riveras and Petrovas off the ZPR board of control, renamed ZPR college to X, and now basks in the glory of being known as the sole founder of that college. /S

Oh man, you just won EVERYTHING in this thread. Respect, with pumped bro fist (non awkward, because I meant it in the simple context, but now I made it awkward by qualifying, but eh you still win ).

You kinda keep ignoring the point that Katie was there because Nami's presence was announced and and leaked to Katie. Nika tagging along was a lucky coincidence (if Katie is interrested in him, which the renders and the was she observed him imo proved).

Nami and Nika are obviously related to the Zane's in the same way (however that be, maybe they knew their parents or more probable are their parents but it doesnt matter for the reasoning) so one of them attending is enough for Katie to be interrested to join.

So no, she didnt knew but due to Nami had still an interrest in attending which Noji pointed out as not being a coincidence.

So he's a mix between Elon Musk and Henry Ford. Good lord have mercy on us.

Well as an impregnation freak, I'm totally down to playing the game if it means reaching this content.

As the rightful heir to the Zane family fortune, he kicked the Riveras and Petrovas off the ZPR board of control, renamed ZPR college to X, and now basks in the glory of being known as the sole founder of that college.

Man I totally feel like actually naming the MC Elon.

The worst part is that i totally believe you, like i see all that plausible.

 

[SlowGoesSlow]

I think Summer will come back, but she will be recast as a diverse character and Ocean will make her gay and lame.

Her relationship with Nika was so god awful it turned her gay.

I'm not saying Katie isn't interested in him, but he wasn't the main event. I'm suggesting that Katie's interest in him is less than her interest in Nami. I'm also saying that her interest in him might be something other than the assumed explanation. There isn't a single render that proves Nika is a Zane.

Haha lets not discuss their origin again, we just did that. Im just saying its WAY more likely that Katie has and equal interrest in Nami and Nika compared to being very interrested in Nami and barely in Nika. Nobody is saying that Nika is the main event, its equal.

No matter if Nika and Nami are blood-related, i think its safe to assume they live with Noji for the exact same reason, this wasnt a coincidence.

And Noji was at least fine with Nami tagging along (and therefore the possibility of meeting a Zane possibly) but not at all about Nika meeting a Zane there which seems to prove the "theory" of them bein equally important to the Zanes but Nika is a wildcard because of his mental condition (i think its very obvious .. even without the whole incest angle) in this case.

Maybe you misunderstood my posting..........

I never intended to compare the whole games, only the distant similarity of some character models, ok?

Yeah i got that, i just dont see it, Emma is a blonde and older Jill and the redhead is a very commonly used model with not this much similartiys with nami imo.

Sorry, but besides one being a redhead and the other one a blonde, the models really have nothing in common. Not even close. Distant, sure - a very distant similarity, all being the same species.

Ok - let´s forget it, I deleted my posting

It seems to me that Najiko would be angry with Katie even if Nami was alone in the club. She can shed light on some unwanted things (in Najiko's opinion). Especially if the inheritance is criminal.
But Nika is undesirable for other reasons too. Obviously Miss Marla and partly Amber have something to do with this. Charlie is clearly not very welcoming to Nika for a reason. She may well be helping Najiko and is trying to make not a very comfortable time for Nika. Sasha is clearly not happy to see Nika here. She and Robin clearly know more than they say.Keep in mind?if Nika don’t kiss Bella, then they call Miss Marla, who saves Nika. Well, another important character. Emily. Najiko’s best friend. And she also seems not *lewedable*, unlike Jenna or Anna.
And don't forget, we haven't seen all the club's visitors. Sasha and Elsa know each other. Imagine if Elsa goes to this club. Or even worse. Summer's mom could be a member of the club.

 

[Treyyyy]

man its crazy how a game with no sex scenes is so good i never thought i would love a game this much so many choices and paths. i think its time i redownload this game and completley finish it(well all the content that's available) i like the fact that ocean puts so much love into this game. Its amazing to see such a competent dev that knows what hes doing and what his fans want(just wanted to leave my thoughts about this game so hopefully what i just said is easy too read, im not too well at English)

It's hard to know Katie's motivation at the book club. I assume she is interested in both Nika and Nami more or less equally, but the book club meet presented her with an opportunity to see one of them. Nika being there was an added bonus.

Katie spoke to Nika and we (the player) were privy to that conversation. We don't know what was said when she spoke to Nami or how long that conversation lasted. Katie did seem intent on a cursory introduction with Nika, so she could go speak with Nami.

PS - every render of Nika hints that he's possibly a Zane - his unique eye colour (an eye colour shared only by members of the Zane and Von Halen families in SG and WIAB).

I'm going with the same assumption - Katie has interest in both of them, but we don't know why and we're makign our own conjectures. She could have interest in either of them for separate/different reasons. We also can assume (reasonably) that Nami met a Zane while Summer was still around (to receive the earring) which means Noji isn't necessarily hiding them well, if that's what she's trying to do. It's also easy to assume that Katie spoke with Nami for the length of time Nika spoke with Noji, but it's off screen, so you're right, we don't know how long their interaction was. She might've just said hi the same way to both of them.

About eye colours - Cerill looks comparablely close to Bella and Nika, but the lighting of the scene she shares with them makes it hard (almost impossible) to tell. Claire is yellow/brown (similar to Susan) in the bookclub, and Penelope has green with a slight yellow tinge (again depending on the lighting in the render). I'm pretty sure can assume Amber is not a Zane given her age. Given Vic is more similar to Claire rather than Maja, and even Susan and Bella have similar depending on the lighting.

After all, in the bookclub scene Katie is clearly blue, and so is Nami, and Katie and Emilia are 100% identical in colour.

Below are just a few renders that kinda show to me I'm going to stay out of eye comparison debates - Ocean's light sources are never neutral and change everything. Below we have a case for the maternal side of the Zane's being blue (Scarlet is also blue, and as you corrected me Kat is also blue), while Leia and Dylan are the odd ones then. Also, Vic is closer to Nika than to Maja, Summer and Nami might as well be twins...

Blue is by far the most common eye colour in the Oveanverse. A couple of characters (Miru and Helen, for example) have grey or blue/grey eyes. However, those with hazel/yellow/green stand out from the rest.

So, looking at some of those with hazel/yellow/green eyes:

Leia, whereas Katie has blue eyes, William is kinda half-and-half
Victoria, whereas Maja has blue eyes
Nika, whereas Nami has blue eyes

...and you're right. Different lighting in different renders makes it hard to judge eye colours singularly. It's hard to find a well-lit render of WIAB William, for example. However, I looked at multiple renders while compiling my previous post, and selected ones that more-or-less clearly illustrated eye colour.

 

[John972]

Everyone, as you know, ZPR stands for Zane, Petrova and Revera families. We know a little about Zane and the Petrovas, but we don't know much about the Revera family. When Nika goes to Vic's house, she is talking to Mila in the kitchen. While Nika and Mila are talking there, Nika asks her about the Revera family. Mila also tells him, "There is someone with that name in the first team." Is the first team he is talking about here the women's team or the men's team? If it is a men's team, who is the potential member of the Revera family? Could it be Dwight? Because we saw Dwight and Sasha together on the first day of school. Or could it be Aziz? Because the conversation between Aziz and his mother at the pizzeria felt a little suspicious. Are there any theories regarding this?

We kinda assume the Revera in the basketball first team may be the progeny of Donna Revera from WIAB. Molly, Aziz's mother, is definitely not Donna Rivera.

 

[John972]

Men's team or women's team? As for the men's team, are there any name theories? "There may be a person named X".

It's not explicitly stated which team.

If it's the men's team and the mother/father were both white, then it's either Dwight or Jake. Otherwise Jazz, Dex, and Larry are also contenders. Of course, we haven't met the female first team yet and we don't know if there's more male players we haven't seen.

We don't know Dwight's relationship to Sasha - could he be her brother (i.e. a Petrova) or a Revera?
