Question for all of you on the Sasha "Hype Train"
Why Exactly?
There has been hardly no character development with her whatsoever.

Here is what we know about her... She has blond hair & blue eyes with a scar on her face. She's wearing one of Nami's earrings for some reason. She's quiet...Shy perhaps, she exercises, sounds like she does competitive sparring with Ayua, she's a bookworm, and she stares at the MC when he is not looking.
Sure there is a touch of mystery about her, but why does any of this warrant her being so high up on the charts of so many people's favorite characters??? The only scene where she interacts with the MC she came across as very dull and we learned absolutely nothing about her personality/character.

I get the initial hype when she first made an appearance and there was a ton of speculation that she might be Summer, but now that Ocean has cleared that up, what is left? Just a pretty face with a scar? Her character thus far is a closed book.

So again I ask, Why the Hype? I mean, if I had never played this game and just read this thread, I would be thinking "wow" Sasha must be an amazing character, only to later be gravely disappointed with her after playing it.

Seems like it is just "The power of Suggestion" at play here. The dev says that it is one of his favorite characters, so everybody feels the need to cuddle up with the dev or something? Ocean has the script, so I get why he likes her so much. He probably has an amazing story line ahead for her character. But from the players perspective based on current game content there is no reason why she should be rated so high, unless it is solely based on looks and a scar, mystery and intrigue.
To me, most of the girls in this game are fairly close in the realm of good looks, so what sets them apart are their personality traits, and so far Sasha has shown me virtually no personality.

It's a matter of personal preference, people seem to like scarred mysterious beauties.


I do understand the scepticism but trust me my dude, people really dig scarred girls. Well it's not exclusive to the scar but the majority likes characters that have their own personal touch, a character is a lot more endearing to audience if they have something recognisable and something they can ponder about, like where'd she get the scar and why does she have the same earring as nami?

We haven't seen much of her yet, I personally don't think she's one of the best this vn has to offer - yet, she definitely needs more time to cook, much of the screen time is eaten by Nami and Bella.

That awesome feeling when you're a bit late to the party... I guess it means i'll have to endure a little less until 4.0?

I feel like she is connected to Summer in some kind of way.. I mean who knows she could be Summer herself lol but one thing is certain, she is definitely connected in some kind of way and I feel for me that's on one the reasons why I'm intrigued by her character among many things that has nothing to do with her appearance might I add

Btw is there any difference between the beta fixed version of 3.5 and the full version?.. I played the beta fixed version already so I'm not sure if playing the full version is essential

I couldn't wait for the final version and played the beta but now my saves from beta don't work. Does anyone have the same problem?

Btw I'm not the only one who thinks Nami's hairstyle become similar to Bella's around the same time MC got closer to Bella, right?

Is there any merit to this train of thought or am I just reading too much into it?
