FTE in the Hangar

Man, can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to show up to the plan only to realize you forgot to charge it? Social anxiety crisis avoided!

but wait what about K1-b0′s FTE 5

what about his underwear

........ You had me at ‘worried about Kaito’. Go on ~

FINALLY! FINALLY!!!

You know what never mind. Fine. I don’t want to hang out with K1-b0 when he’s like this anyway >:/

With that said though I... uh... really thought the reason we weren’t executing the plan today was because we would have time for another FTE? Maybe after checking on Kaito I’ll be able to do that...

Okay so let me just say that screen caps do not capture the mild terror I had while I was creeping Shuichi along in the hangar, listening to those heavy thumps of the exisals in the distance. They were emphasizing being careful and quiet, and I took that very seriously!!!

I was wondering why they had this random area of the game off the path like this! It was for this scene, then?

:O

So he’s been here this entire time? Why?

T... TBH, I’m not getting a ‘protecting’ vibe from this, I’m getting a ‘guarding’ guide. More like he’s their prisoner, you know?

Shuichi, I’m pretty sure they’re guarding him!! So... so does that mean it really is true? Or I guess, uh, a lie? Because if Kokichi is guarding Monokuma and cancelled the killing game under the claim of ‘being bored’, then those actions run completely in contrast to his claim of being the mastermind! You wouldn’t be worried about his actions if he was under your control!

With that said, isn’t the mastermind able to make more Monokumas? If so, well... why haven’t they?

Yes, though don’t forget there’s still a fifth one!

It’s hard to know if having a nervous wreck like Shuichi on a stealth mission is a good or a bad thing, but here we are. Good luck, Shuichi! .... Oh right, I’m controlling you. Damn it.

I completely forgot about that. 8′D

And??? Who is it???

“I CAN’T HELP IT I’VE BEEN REUNITED WITH MY BAE - I-I MEAN BRO!”

It’s actually pretty considerate of him to give you the bathroom, all things considered! Man, Kokichi having to go must be awkward as hell though.

So Kaito doesn’t realize most of the exisals are out, huh? I guess having one stomping around is enough to keep Kaito in line - either that or he can hear one of them moving but hasn’t had a chance to see them himself, and that’s enough to convince him they’re all out in the hangar with Kokichi...

“That’s your cue to swoon, btw.”

“K-Kaito come on, I’m trying to be a hero for once!!!”

Aaaaw he’s actually startled by the idea of everyone coming together to help him! Considering he’s been trying to hide his own weaknesses this whole time, it must be pretty shocking to hear - how much do you want to bet that he’s been trying to think of a way to rescue himself and in order to not bother anyone else?

He sounded a bit startled at the beginning. 8′D

I wanted that bit up there to remain unbroken because I really like that contrast between Kaito being shocked to hear that Maki, the one he only really knew as the girl he had to blindly defend in trials, drag out of rooms to interact with others and whose interactions for the most part consisted of Kaito trying to encourage her while she berated him in return, is the one who pulled everyone together and - as Shuichi said - believes in him. 

He’s been telling everyone loudly about they can rely on him, practically shouting it from the mountaintops, but here, finally, someone is telling him, ‘yeah, we know. She’s put this faith in you.” He’s shook. He’s been called an idiot repeatedly, mocked for trying to integrate her with the rest of the group, was exposed as ill and weak in front of his classmates, and was torn apart verbally in the last trial while trying to defend Gonta. And, honestly? I’ve said this multiple times in the last few posts, but I think he’s mentally resigned - it’s not a question of if he’s going to die in here, but how soon. 

I think he had given up, but here comes Shuichi, offering him a chance to put on that mask of ‘hero’ again. He’s more than happy to accept it. He’s not ‘allowed’ to give up, if there are people who still believe in him. He doesn’t have much energy left, but he’s willing to put on a brave face for his friends.

“Thank goodness I really need someone to take the burden of being the protagonist off of my shoulders ILU bro -”

Aaah Shuichi, you sweet, misguided enabler. I have a lot of Kaito feelings (duh) but despite everything I just said, I don’t know if it’s a good thing for him to put his hero persona back on. 8′D

Dude, you - you remember your position, right? Just hold on tight! Let us help you for once, please!

“It’s not like I’m dying or anything - *COUGH HACK COUGH*”

SERIOUSLY KAITO PLEASE JUST RELAX

I-I mean, you really should care? I really think he’s acting for your sake right now! I’m not looking for a Kaito who starts bawling out of nowhere, but - !

Okay, I can’t actually blame you for that Sweetcheeks - he has been your emotional support this whole game. 8(

He’s still trying to find a way to keep them from coming to rescue him! Are you that fragile, Kaito?! There is no way you’ll be able to do it yourself!

YOU’RE A LIAR, KAITO

A LYING LIAR WHO LIES

“Anyway, you bringing up my vulnerabilities and weaknesses makes me super uncomfortable so I guess we’re done here byyyyyye!”

“Kaito, wait -”

“O-OH - OH NO, THE CONNECTION IS - CUTTING OUT, CAN’T - MISSED WHAT YOU - SAID - PSHHHH - TALK LATER, ‘KAY?”

“KAITO THAT DOESN’T WORK WHEN WE’RE FACE TO FACE!”

After reviewing my scenario in his head, Shuichi has realized that Kaito would, in fact, quite possibly do that.

............ K... Kaito, uh - what the hell is that supposed to mean.

TRAUMATIC KAEDE CHAPTER 1 ELEVATOR-TO-TRIAL FLASHBACKS

“WHILE I’M GONE.........”

!!!! O-OI I’M NOT CRYING I’VE JUST GOT STARDUST IN MY EYES

...

｡･+ﾟﾟ(うд´｡)ﾟﾟ+･｡

kaito YOU’RE A BLOODY HYPOCRITE AND I HOPE KOKICHI IS ACTUALLY LISTENING IN SO HE CAN BERATE YOU WHEN SHUICHI LEAVES

I’m sorry Kaito what was with that final-sounding speech of yours??!?!

Oh god these are so ‘last words’ sounding and my heart hurts

Does... does Shuichi realize this? Does he realize that Kaito is basically giving Shuichi his will verbally right now?

W.... Will we, though............

Not the FTE I originally wanted, but the FTE I needed. 8′)

AND ALSO THE MOST FINAL-SOUNDING FTE I’VE EVER HEARD

So there really are no more FTEs this chapter then?? G... Guess I’ll have to finish K1-b0′s next chapter....? 8′D

Honestly, the choices are limited right now anyway. At least I still have all of Himiko’s and most of Maki’s left, as well as Kokichi’s if he survives by some miracle. 8′D

And with that, we raise our battle flag (and death flag) in Kaito’s name one more time!

Liesl’s Otome Game Reviews: Mystic Messenger -Another Story- (V’s Route) by Cheritz

Sinful Meter: ★☆☆☆☆ My Rating: 4/5

**Not Spoiler Free Review**↴

My first thought when I played the route was: OMG RAY!!! This is heaven. (//▽//)

As I mentioned in another post, I wasn’t too excited about V’s route, but I was still going to play it because I was curious about his character and how the story would work out.

I went in expecting V and what did I get? SAERAN FANSERVICE!!! I fangirled so hard, I almost died. (Not to mention that his theme song is beautiful. I loved it!) I sorta expected it, but I never thought there would be A LOT of interaction with Saeran. Thank you, Cheritz!!!

If you’re looking to romance V then I have bad news for you. Even though you do end up “together”, there’s not a lot of romance. The story focuses on saving V. MC helps V become a better person, and that includes helping him let go of Rika, who is a toxic person in his life. 

Another Story takes place 2 years before the original game...

Unknown contacts MC and offers her to test a game for him and you guessed it! She accepts without questioning it, but free game testing + Ikemen?! Same MC, same, sign me the fuck up! (For the sake of the plot + my own thirstiness, I will not question why MC accepted to go with Ray with no regard for her safety. lol)

I thought it was brilliant from Cheritz’s part to have Ray “trick” MC by telling her that she was there to test a game and that the characters are AIs. That way, although MC was technically “working” with Mint Eye, she is not the “bad person”.

The chat participants most of the times are Ray, Jumin, and Seven and then V towards the later days. Zen, Yoosung and Jaehee are barely in the chats. That actually worked perfectly for me lol I don’t really like Zen, so I was sorta glad that he didn’t have much presence. When he did, I would either join Jumin in teasing him or just say that I preferred V lolol

Days 1-4:

The first few days focus on MC living at Mint Eye “testing the game” and spending time with Saeran . I think those days were the best days, at least for me. I enjoyed being with Saeran!

If you’re a big fan of Saeran & Jumin then you probably will enjoy the first few days of the route because there was a lot of Saeran & Jumin Fanservice. I honestly flirted with Jumin and Saeran a lot that I sometimes forgot I was in V’s route lol I’m sorry V fans! V was overshadowed in his own route, but for a Saeran/Jumin bias like myself it was heaven.  ＼(≧▽≦)／ You get to see Jumin when he was younger, too! I screamed.

Days 5-11:

The later days focus on V saving MC from Mint Eye + MC helping V change + Relationship Drama. Yes, you read that right. lol  Just a heads up for those V x MC shippers, most of V’s CGs are V+Rika. I know what you are thinking and I know right? lol (There was a part in the story where Seven and Jaehee go to V’s house and Seven is shocked about the photos he finds there. For some reason I thought V had nudes of Rika. lol Was I the only one who thought that?!)

You also learn about V’s mom and V’s childhood in the visual novels. It’s supposed to help you understand why V grew up to be the the way he is and what his deal with the sun is. It was similar and way different to what I had imagined, but I was sorta left confused??? I felt that it wasn’t clear enough as to where V’s love for the sun originated from. Yes, I know it was explained, but I still couldn’t see why it left so much of an impression to him that it became a thing to him. I may need to reread them a second time lol

As the days went by, I started to not enjoy the route as much. Do I need to explain why? Well, I will anyways:

YOOSUNG. Fucking Yoosung...tsk tsk. I don’t know how many times I wanted to fight him lol Tbh, I really love Yoosung, he is actually my #4 favorite, but gosh, he really annoyed the fuck out of me in V’s route. His obsession with Rika knows no boundaries. I’m glad that in the end he at least stopped her from hurting the guests though. I feel bad for Zen for having to take care of him. ^^; 

I think the story became a little less enjoyable for me after MC met with Rika. It’s just a matter of personal preference. I do not hate Rika, but I don’t like her either. There was some Rika x MC fanservice, thus the 1 star on the sinful meter. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  Not really my style, so no thank you, but hey, I’m sure a lot of you might have enjoyed that. I had my time with Ray, so it’s only fair for the Rika fanservice~

It became less enjoyable when Rika joined the chat room. It was a mixture of me not being a fan of Rika + being the intermediary and dealing with relationship drama. It felt like high school all over again, I really didn’t want to relive those dark times in my life lol I just wanted to save V and spend more time with Saeran. lol

Ray’s sacrifice and unconfirmed death drew the last straw for me. Like how?! Like WHY?! Damn right, I was SHOOK!!! I was hoping that at the end they would confirm that Ray was alright, but nope, I finished the route and nothing. I’m hoping that the After Ending addresses this, but honestly I don’t think it will. Actually, I kept waiting the whole route for V to come clean, but nope. ヽ( `д´*)ノ

Endings: 

Imo: Normal Ending > Good Ending. I’ll take normal ending over V the hippie ending any day. Enough said. Idk, the Normal Ending just felt more natural to me. Can I think of it as the good ending instead? 

V

For some reason, when I first saw the PV, I assumed V was older because he had longer hair. oops lol I actually also liked V’s new look, he looked really handsome!

As for the character himself, in my eyes, V did not redeem himself as a character. While I’m glad that V didn’t died, I wasn’t able to accept him and forgive him. I just can’t like V, I’m sorry.  ┐(￣∀￣)┌

Reason 1. SAERAN. 

One of my main problems with V had always been how he never came clean about Saeran. Yes, I was upset that Saeran “died”. I felt that V had plenty of opportunities to tell Seven about his brother, but nope, he covered it or avoided it. Every time MC mentioned something about it, V would ask her not to say anything. -.- If he had told Seven, maybe he could have acted faster and actually saved him. Don’t get me wrong, I know he had his “reasons” for not telling Seven about his brother, but still, I just can’t with V. (It doesn’t help that Saeran is one of my favorite characters either.)

Reason 2. He hurt those who trusted him

It pained me to see everyone get hurt by V, especially Jumin and Seven. Those two put all their trust on V.

Reason 3. He denied his love for Rika and called it an obsession.

I was SHOOK. One of the things I admired from the original story was V’s love for Rika. That was like a big thing lol Although it was a twisted love, I remember thinking, “Wow, he loves her so much that he was willing to do anything for her, betraying his friends, and even sacrificing himself. That’s true love.” I kinda fell bad for Rika. I don’t think anyone wants to hear that the person you thought loved you, didn’t actually love you after all.

I just want to take the opportunity to say that Jumin once again proved to be the best character, at least to me:

He is an amazing friend: He values friendship, pays attention to detail, he is supportive, he trusts his best friend. Like where can I get a friend like that? 

His family values: Like marry me now?!

He is a great leader: He handles every situation with calm. This man is able to step back, analyze the situation, and take action. Exactly what makes a great businessman lol

He is too cute: Like how can he be so cute?! ^_^

“But Liesl, Ray’s behavior is unhealthy + V was overshadowed in his own route, etc.”

Yes? That boy has been damaged a lot. While I did fangirl A LOT, there were some times where I was like “okay, this is enough Ray. ^^;”

Overall, I think Cheritz did a good job giving fanservice to V’s, Rika’s and Saeran’s fans. (even Jumin’s tbh)

Will you miss out if you don’t play it?  Yes! (especially if you love Jumin/Saeran or if you want to save V) No! (especially if you want Saeran to have a happy ending, then just pretend that Another Story doesn’t exist. lol)

Is it worth giving a try? YES!!! Your 300 hgs and sleepless nights are worth it.
