ztrepzilius Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) I am curious about likeable characters without route. Edited March 20, 2019 by ztrepzilius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranzo Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Poor, Sacchin, poor, poor Sacchin Maybe in the next life she gets the route she deserves Edited March 19, 2019 by Ranzo Dreamysyu, Inorin and ztrepzilius 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clephas Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I really wish there was a true Rusalka route in Dies Irae, aside from the side-stories. She won the character poll in Japan for a reason, lol. AustriaVNFan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yelsha57 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I wish that A Chan in Little Busters had a route. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. I gotta read more vns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstan Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Maya in SukiSuki - she should have a route instead of Mahiru. But it hardly was my "favorite" VN, so maybe it doesn't count EDIT Ah! Akari in Konosora. But they fixed that in Cruise Sign Edited March 19, 2019 by adamstan yelsha57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamysyu Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Not my favorite VN, but I feel like the squad members in Aselia were quite charming. I guess that's why they got an entire new game dedicated specifically to them (which, of course, has never been and will never be translated). At the same time, I feel like the actual character routes should've had a lot more unique content. All routes together give quite a lot of additional information so that completely skipping them will make an overall experience incomplete, but it just doesn't feel rewarding to replay the whole game 7 times just for that. Edit. Oh, and I would love to see Temuorin's route. Edited March 19, 2019 by Dreamysyu Actually, this isn't a fandisk but a full sequel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpacaman Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 My favourite VN (Umineko) doesn't have any routes, but now I want to know what the Erika route in a dating-sim spin-off would be like. Probably quite BDSM-heavy and completely insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakauchuujin Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Not my favourite, but still really like it, Ruriko in Princess Evangile. Yes she has a route in W happiness, but she deserved to have one in the main VN. Having her be treated like a side heroine is just sad. yelsha57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got a route, but honestly, the w happiness routes were terrible compared to the original. Short and boring And personally i think most vn devs have terrible taste. They have the regular setup of heroines, both looks and personality, perhaps a shitty loli is in the mix somewhere as well. Maybe nasty lolii is even the true route? But then they have this side heroine. This wonderful, bit older one who looks twice as good as the regular band of heroines, and has a great personality as well. Does she ever get a route? Nope, not really. Shes either made fun of for being old or just ignored. Its pitiful Half way off topic as i dont remember any names atm :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naterocks2000 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 In Yume Miru Kusuri, it would have been an interesting dynamic if the player was given the choice of siding with Aeka or Antoinette (Nanjou) in Aeka's route. I don't like her as a character but I feel that if the protagonist could do what he did in that route, he could do so much worse if he sided with Antoinette. Though, I see why we didn't have that option as it would be much more sadistic and controversial if the protagonist actively bullied a depressed person. Oh, and in Noble Works, there should have been routes for Chiaki (the maid) and Sanjou Makoto. (Though I wouldn't call Noble Works one of my favorites or anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchhamilton Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Akari from if my heart had wings. look at that face. plus, shes shown interest in the mc. YOU CANT DO THIS PULLTOP! yelsha57 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralSword Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Natal from Evenicle. I mean, Evenicle doesn't have a route at all and the MC literally fucks every female thing whilling (mostly) but Natal was left out of his roost, even though she liked him and he had been wanting to do her since first sight. Sure, her final scene is cute AF (because her character is good) and even though she had a reasonable motive not to join as another wife, I consider it a huge missed opportunity. Tsukihime's Arihiko as a "bromance for life" interest. He is the main reason Shiki is bearable at certain points. Arihiko is totally husbando and bromando material. Ah, the entire Izumi's Valkyries unit from Muv Luv Alternative. Once again, there is no actual route here, but they should have been love interests. I mean, Kashiwagi is the greatest fem-bro of all time. Why not a love interest also? Edited March 20, 2019 by AstralSword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in the original game, in which Shirogane is actually a badass Eishi and is considered awesome by the female cast (because, well, there are almost NO MEN in the entire army due to... Spoiler ...80% of male humans being already dead by the time the plot happens. In the spin-offs (Altered Fable and CO. The Day After is a totally different beast) we only see our regular nerdy student Shirogane, who isn't a nice friend by any means to anyone in the cast (with the exception of maybe Mikoto). There is no reason for anyone to like the bastard, despite Sumika's "childhood friend unrequited love" (which I never bought, to be honest).

All the girls in Valkyries except for Kashiwagi appeared as love interests in earlier Age games, Kimi ga Ita Kisetsu ~Primary~ (though some of them only appear in the remake that came out after MLA) and Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Moreover, Spoiler it was confirmed in the story that they were still in love with the Alternative-verse versions of the protagonists of those games, even though one of them was already dead by the time when the game started. To be honest, it just didn't make much sense to make them romantically involved with Takeru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadMoney Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Shigure in NekoPara. So frustrating that she doesn't ever get her own route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIUUZICK Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Inoue in Rewrite. Seriously, she already had a great dynamic with Kotarou in the common route and it would have been easy to add a route for her.
