    Ahaha gotta agree with you on that. May as well just vaguely tell you what you missed out. Imo, the epilogue scene wasn't worth all the trouble either if one wasn't planning on reading Kadenz. :wahaha:

    Miki is basically a shared(?) ending with Sakura's, Ichigo is as you said a two to three extra scenes, and Ayane's is basically an ending you don't want to get into. :marie: There was also the Ryuichi scenes too (not in that manner mind you).

    Least Kadenz was easier to get by.

     

    I couldn't wait to read kadenz at the time, haha.

    Spoiler

    Actually interested in how things go in Ayane's route. Considering how much I enjoyed fortissimo, I can see myself going back and reading it again, but that's not going to happen anytime soon... Does Ayane go full yandere on me or something?

    Wow. I can't believe you'd cheat a VN like that. Shame on you. :sachi:

    Stop shaming me. :pyaa:

    I'm not reading Miki's, Ichigo's, and Ayane's mini-routes (can we even consider them as that? they're probably just a couple of scenes where they act lovely-dovey then have an H-scene, but I don't know) just to get that extra scene, man. :notlikemiya:

    I occasionally like playing plot-focused vns with enforced playing order when done well and efficient like Rewrite and Dies irae. However, there are times when a scenario writer doesn't use it as efficiently as they should like in Fortissimo. Now I love Fortissimo as my dose of chuuni, but some of Kamiya Suguru's 'decisions' on how to go about playing both entries in the franchise kinda has me going 'why' at times. Here is one thing that bug me about some of these EPO narratives (or maybe this issue is just within the Fortissimo franchise; haven't read too many of these to tell).

    *Minor rant warning incoming*

    I'll just use Fortissimo's entries as prime examples considering how much time I put into playing and reading them:

    In Fortissimo EXS/FA, there are three routes. One is from the older version, EXA, and the other two are new. For those unaware, there is a specific playing order to Fortissimo in order to 100% everything and get the bonus epilogue. Speaking from my experience after reading FA, this requires you to play the two new routes first to get the bad ending, go finish the old route, and then back to 'rereading' the two new routes again just to get the good ending this time around. The way Kamiya does this is pretty much a time waster and spoils the two new routes as I'm sure everyone would aim for the old one first before heading to the two new ones. You essentially have to reread some of the common route stuff multiple times to get everything just for one epilogue that leads into its sequel. Maybe you can save/load at a certain point in the common route, but my point about rereading the same thing two or more times still stands.

    tl;dr Fortissimo exemplifies the worst kind of EPO which is forcing you to read the same route twice to unlock both endings (one before playing another route and the other after all that).

    Kadenz fermata kinda tones it down a bit by making it easier for us to jump to any scene we want and the first playthrough is basically all Reiji and Freya's scenes which is vague in the grand scheme of things. Still kinda spoils some major stuff in your second playthrough, but at least they give us the option to skip all the scenes we saw the first time around.

     

    Mfw I just downloaded a save file after completing the three main endings to see that extra scene because getting all the other ones was a hassle w

    In other words, I wanna know the history of these here forums especially the drama.

    The only history you need to know about is the “golden age of fuwa” as I’d like to call it.

    It was around the time where Okami would hang out in the “are H-scenes necessary?” Thread and tell everyone not to taint the forums with their perversion. 

    Good times.:sachi:

    Translation might have distorted things a bit, but routes were bad before it. For example, that hamster kouhai route. It was such a trash, that I don't even bothered to remember what it was about

    The only things I remember from comyu are "I can see the red", "So what?", and Benio's route ending at this point.
