Hey, first time posting. Long time lurker for the most part. Though man, I must be doing something wrong because each time I have a go at the game's hard mode, I come up short of getting the required 600 Qi. Could anyone give advice on what I'm doing wrong? Or anything I perhaps may have missed?

Everyone remembers a little.
You're right, I'm sure, that the other three are the only ones who remember everything (which is part of why Selene's ending was as frustrating for me as it was), but I do think Kara's unique here. Everyone else, as far as we see, has a vague sense of "I think I know you already;" Kara knows she knows, and she's right. We don't see how much she knows, but I doubt those two examples are everything.

I guess it could be the case that she doesn't really remember anything the others don't, and is just more outspoken about what she remembers. But from we see, it looks like she has more-complete or more-detailed memory of their time in the Interim than do the others.

It would make sense if everyone remembers the version of the Interim that they themselves experienced. It's just that only Selene, Polly, and Mira experienced the unveiled Interim...

We don't know those we saved perceived their surroundings.

Read page 38-40 in the walkthrough. You need every possible scene. Including all the joint scenes. Thus you have to progress the girls in a specific order, or not out of order.

But we do, or at least quite a lot of it, because we perceived them the same way--except for the Shades, and their not noticing that things are shifting around. Aside from those matters, what we're seeing "in town" is what they're seeing. Which is why I don't think I agree with this:

...at least, not if you're suggesting they remember it clearly. That means Kaitlin remembers the accident, losing her father, MC banging her and her mother at the same time... Kara remembers, not only the Mustang, but also the threesome with Marisa (Anita gets this in her ending, but Kara doesn't). Sammy and Bud remember being all but forced together.

OTOH, maybe they don't have clear recollection of everything that happened, but rather some vague, almost-subconscious memory of it. Maybe dreams about it (or parts of it), or something along those lines? While I wouldn't like to think that new-life Kaitlin has nightmares of almost dying in a MVA, that would explain her going into medicine. Maybe Kara doesn't see the BDSM dungeon, but sees her trips with MC in her dreams?

Have I forgotten a moment where they commented on the lack of weather or the weird skies? It certainly seemed to me that the point was they thought of it as "just" the same as the world before the Interim ... at least until they started commenting on it feeling weirdly empty.

And there's a good 5 to 10 years from where the world is restarted at until he meets the LI in most of the endings. If one had a really weird set of memories with no reason to recall them until suddenly MC, how clear will those memories be?
