From what I'm seeing the heroine this route is Hisui which is fine and all but this route is like, driving me mad. Yesterday I started from where I left off (like Day 5 or something, a bit after the Yumizuka incident) and lo and behold like, absolutely nothing happens. The little side conversations were fine (I didn't get enough Hisui points last time and had to restart after getting to
Day 13 but as the story progressed one of the worst things to ever befall a main character happened.
The dreaded 'Burning Body' arc. For almost half a week, my character was unable to move himself. Thanks to fucking SHIKI being an asshole under the school he started stabbing himself and gouging his own eyes, giving me headaches and the inability to move since I was dying spiritual or something as he tried to take me over.
At this point I kind of miss Arcueid or Ciel since I haven't seen Arcueid in FOREVER even if she's a selfish jerk. Ciel I think I've only seen as a student this route too. This route doesn't have a lot going on.
I think my favorite part was when they actually gave me new information that was somewhat useful. Mahikisa being the most notable person getting a lot of backstory and such. Also from what I understand he was that 'demon' that slaughtered the Nanaya's, which is pretty...no! And then he adopted the last Nanaya, man he's coocoo.
Anyway, after like two H scenes because fuck why not, I can move again and I find out (or probably hallucinated) that Akiha and Kohaku are going to have to kill me so I'm all like rlasjfldfm;lsada and I just abruptly find out Akiha is a vampire too. Man, Yumizuka's last scene was cut short too. Why you do this?! We need an Arihiko arc.
And finally, back to Day 13 I realize that eight years ago or whatever the two sisters I remembered were actually swapped! Hisui was the active, energetic one and Kohaku was the dreary look-through-the-window-like-Sakura one, since she was Makihisa's servant and all. And then I find out they're Syncronizers and who the hell what
I finally stopped playing when Shiki has the resolve to fight SHIKI at the school now, like direct confrontation. Need I remind you Shiki did pretty much nothing this route except kill Yumizuka by accident. And Hisui has to come too because NASUUUUUUU
Seriously look at this shit, it's mad-inducing for the reader how did I do this last night,
(this scene was just a lie, don't listen to the yellow)
I took screencaps to remember what I actually did yesterday.
Half of this route I spent in a bed slowly going insane while the beginning half I had already seen in the Akiha route, except with a less ;_; Yumizuka ending scene.
So...hmmm. I'm gonna have to rate these routes at some point. I don't think any of them even pass Fate/stay night's Fate route it's not too good.
Oh here's what I think of the F/sn routes first:
Heaven's Feel > Unlimited Blade Works > Fate
Fate was pretty typical and mostly boring, UBW had a cool later half, and Heaven's Feel was like a good Tsukihime route.
Now for Tsukihime...
Since I don't know if there are even specific route names I'll just use the heroines.
Ciel > Akiha > Arcueid > Hisui
Hmmm and even thinking about the Ciel route I wouldn't say it was "enjoyable" but more like "what the fuck" I guess. The Akiha route had a neat ending too I guess. Arcueid's was pretty typical.
If I had to make a list for characters themselves then...
SHIKI > Shiki > Yumizuka > 'Nero' Chaos > Arihiko > Makihisa > Kohaku > Hisui > Akiha > Ciel > The Dead > Arcueid
Man is this really all the characters with sprites? I have just come to the the realization that I don't like anybody in Tsukhime. Everybody is assholes. Anybody below Makihisa I can enjoy sometimes though. But man, this list is so screwed up. All of the heroines are at the bottom, from that I'm gonna guess the more I know about a character in Tsukhime the less I want to know about them. Except anybody Makihisa or above. I want to learn more about those ones. Hmmm.
