so fujino himself said that there will be several endings, so there will definitely be several and considering the choices before the beginning of the chapters in relation to the girls, there may even be more than two
I hope he doesn't do it, otherwise it will seem like he's trying to add insult to injury
that's probably exactly what will happen. As I wrote in the message above, Kirito's current relationship with the girls is a "sweet pill" from the author to enhance the feeling of hopelessness when all the girls are stolen. And I have only one question about a girl right now - Suguha. With everyone else, it's pretty clear what's going to happen.
i was also confused about suguha's character, but fujino sensei already made it clear in the previous q&a that she won't fall for inoda. and now that hebishima is also out of the line (since he became a girl), i think she really would end up with kirito
on the one hand, it would be logical if Suguha was the only one of all the girls who stayed with Kirito. But then I don't really understand the meaning of the endings...
yeah, it's pretty unclear what exactly would happen since there are a lot of things to take care of. if hebishima didn't become a girl and continued his arc with suguha, then maybe those endings would've been pretty easy to achieve. i think those endings would still make sense by adding some extra info like... in the oblivious ending, it'd stay the same as i mentioned, but kirito might keep seeing suguha and follow the incest path while keeping it a secret from asuna just like she's doing with kirito. and the netorase one is where he might not be with suguha since he'd actually like asuna cheating on him. in both endings, it's still a bad ending for him, just one being a little less bad xD
Well, actually it's not very difficult. What happens if Kirito gets convincing evidence of treason? Right now, he's a brick in terms of intelligence, simply because he trusts Asuna unconditionally. But what if, when the veil of trust is lifted, Kirito can think critically? He will remember the shitty events in the tent, in the tent near the base, he will remember Asuna's strange behavior, the image of Inoda's cousin from the hotel and Asuna will coincide in his head, he will understand that during the ritual, Asuna's heart was beating not because she was fighting, but because Inoda was fucking her. The idea is simple, but interesting. The fact that Kirito's stupidity is based on his complete trust in Asuna. Fujino could have made a good ending out of this, with drama, scandal, mutual insults and vindictive Suguha.
you're very true about all those scenes coinciding in kirito's mind, since fujino sensei has set them up in a way that could really make kirito understand in a cinematic way. like before seeing any asuna x inoda events, he always thought to himself "why her voice seems familiar?", "she looks a little like asuna.", etc. but still, it all feels kind of unlikely. it'd only be achievable if fujino sensei pulls an alicization where kirito ends up in a coma state just like in the canon, and suguha is the one who takes care of him this time until he wakes up and comes to his senses... that might be the only way to end the game in a kino way if fujino sensei wants to avoid the typical ntr ending
Well, I don't think a coma is necessary. Don't forget that too many characters know the truth. Agil, Liz, Suguhua, Sinon, Klein know or suspect that Asuna is cheating on Kirito with Inoda. At any moment, any of them - Liz, out of revenge, can try to record treason, Suguha and Sinon can use their resources to try to find videos from the game or the real world.(Suguha has already investigated in the game and she has the ability to sense where Inoda fucked Asuna). That is, Fujino can throw this bomb into the plot at any moment. Stress and total destruction of Kirito's worldview. Kirito may think about it and just start adding up the facts, remembering past events. Then Fujino can do whatever he wants - anger, revenge, acceptance, the important thing is that this ending will be radically different from the "forgetful" or "willing cuckold."
Eee! You're really going too far! Don't forget - this is Fujino! If the game has any ending (any) - that's already a victory! )))
Everything is kind of unstable and fickle. Kirito sort of talks to Klein about it, but then gets angry at any hint of Asuna's betrayal. Kirito, never once, in the entire game, talks about female domination and humiliation, then suddenly becomes a lover of such entertainment. If Fujino wants to lead Kirito to something like this (a Willing cuckold\netorase), he should somehow develop this topic more closely and in more detail into the game. In short, a similar theme in the plot jumps from extreme to extreme and creates holes in the narrative. At the moment, a voluntary ending doesn't look entirely possible, and there's not much time left until the end.
It's not that far away, the game is close to completion and most of the main events have already happened. So, as they say in our north, "Ending is coming." And if now, in the plot, it is not clear at all how it will end, then there is reason to worry - either the author himself does not know what to do, or the author is preparing some kind of super twist in the plot.Eee! You're really going too far! Don't forget - this is Fujino! If the game has any ending (any) - that's already a victory! )))
and you want bottom line, morality, sense of completion...
No, you can't go to the menu during the dialogues. This is only possible in a free game, when the player is given control of the character.
You both gotta remember one thing: The "only 2 endings" thing was something Fujino said BEFORE actually starting part 2's development, and probably part of his 'original plans'...which have massively changed since then as we all know, especially those that have been around since then or before. Even before the change in the story made it obvious those 2 endings wouldn't work as simply as before anymore, the recent Q&A also hinted that there would be MORE than just those 2 endings available, and the latest update seemed to further cement that: The fact there are specific scenes that ONLY trigger if you've done all of Kirito's "slip-ups" with ALL the girls rather than just one, independently of your prurience level or not, at the very least seem to hint towards one more, not yet defined, ending.
