I played Kyouji's route as soon as it came out, so I don't know why it took me this long to write this. Anyway, better late than never, I guess.
Ever since the original Morenatsu, Kyouji has always been my favorite. I know, that's pretty weird given that he barely had any content back then. But I suppose there was just something about his personality that really drew me in.
I HIGHLY doubt there are many others who thought of Kyouji as their favorite back then (understandable since, again, he barely had any content) so I know for sure I must have been one of the people most looking forward to finally being able to play his route, even if it came from a different writer.
This also means that I probably had some of the highest expectations out of anyone here. So I'll admit that when I saw his story was finally released I was also a bit afraid of possibly being disappointed after head cannoning his story in my mind for years.
My fears were unfounded. God, this was GOOD! Thank you for writing his story the way you did. It was even better than anything I could have imagined.
FINALLY, after I don't know how many years, my absolute favorite character has a complete story, and it's SO. GOOD. And I like him even more now than I did before. :)
I totally agree, right now Kyouji is my favorite character and I doubt they will be able to top him. I love a tragic story, I love when I see a person everyone think is flawless showing flaws after flaws after flaws, I love the very bottom of ris route when he's being distant as much as I love the tops of his route. I hope they can rework Kouya's routes now because his route will be so stupid after reading through Kyouji's. xD
Never has a game made me this emotional. I've got to say, I didn't have the highest hopes for Kyouji's route; I really did think that it would just be an awkward love triangle, but it left me absolutely speechless.
Overall, this game really is an absolute step up from the original Morenatsu - both games are awesome, but Homecoming gives the characters a whole lot of dimension to some otherwise (kind of) bland characters.
Making the route of a character that didn't have one in the first place was a bold choice, but it seemed to be one of the best decisions that could've been made. The last days of the route felt a bit awkward, but that may just be me. That being said, I now have high hopes for Tarou's route. I'm excited as one can be!
I wonder if there'll be another complete sprite revamp or if we're going to get more sprites, I'd love to see more sprites from everyone, especially Tatsuki. I would also love to see the NSFW scenes, but they're so well-written they're almost non-essential.
I love the introduction of more characters, I'm anxious to see what the team has planned for Nanafuse! I do hope we get a sprite for Tatsuki's mom and maybe a sprite for Hiroyuki's grandparents.
Here's to hoping we don't have to wait another year and a half for another update!
I agree with ya on that point. I've been reading on Reddit people complaining this game is not OG morenatsu but at this point it's clear this game wants to be it's own thing, same setup, same people, but another angle on what happened in another universe. And frankly Kyouji's route is peak writing there. I was expecting nothing out of it, now I want to know what they will do with Kouya's route, because with Kyouji's route the way it is, it makes the struggles Kouya had on the OG game so stupid.
