Ever17 (spoiler thread!)

The new clothes or the gun? If she changes into the new clothes mid route I'm okay with saying she could just find a dress somewhere around the park. There's no reason for there to be a gun, though.

After a whole year, I've transcribed Karma to be played on two guitars. I may try fitting it onto just one, but that's a big maybe since there are other songs I'd like to focus on.

Here you can download my awesome synthesized preview on two classical guitars, as well as the sheet music (Karma Duet and Karma Duet Bass) for both parts of the song, the melody and the bass.

EDIT: Just see my links below.

Huh, link doesn't workt =(

Oh! I'm an idiot!

Try these ones.

Just realized, the author and artist of Death Note are Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata respectively.

Woah.

And?

Arha, we can dream, damnit!!!

Aren't they both males, though?

No one knows. NO ONE!

Death Note sucks anyway. Keep it away from Ever17, which has a distinct lack of suck. Though lots of filler.

The filler is what makes it good, actually. The semi- slice of life kind of bits make you attached to the characters. It's the point.

I know. Hence why I said lack of suck. I don't mind the filler, I'm just acknowledging that it's there in case someone wanted to challenge my opinion of Ever17 by mentioning that as if I didn't already know.

So, I'm pretty sure that TB in Ever17 is actually an advanced form of real-life tuberculosis. They share symptoms (heavy coughing, blood form the mouth) and their abbreviations are the same. Also, drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis are existent today, so in 2017-2034 it wouldn't be surprising if a deadlier mutation of multi-drug immune tuberculosis existed.

Plus, tuberculosis spreads best in places that are stuffy and have air that isn't going anywhere. Kind of like the setting of Ever17 in the underwater theme park of Lemu. Constant exposure to tuberculosis could very well speed up the mortality rate of all of the characters, especially considering their poor physiology due to being stuck in Lemu for days on end.

Can anyone tell me how many routes there are? I've reached an end and am seriously confused over whether I got a bad end or not.

Did you get a message that was kind engrishy saying only you are caught in the loop or something like that? Anyway, there are four routes that end like that plus the true end route. You, Sara, Tsugumi and Sora make up the first four routes.

Oh, and the first four endings are called 'good ends' despite being bittersweet or downers, so confusion over that is not unwarranted.

If I die, doesn't that make it a bad end...?

I did get the message. Twice. The first one was when after everyone dies, so I was pretty clear on the fact that that was a bad end. And then I got the same message again after only the protagonist (Takeshi) dies to save Tsugumi. That really confused me. So is that message suppose to signify a bad end or...? Looking at the second ending, it could or could not be bad too... argh, I give up.

Your second ending sounds like the Tsugumi ending to me. It is kind of a downer, yes.

By the way, from the way you're asking I assume you've not been spoiled on the story much or at all. Would I be correct in this?

It seems like you've got the bad end and the Tsugumi ending.

Yes, I've not been spoiled. All I heard is that it is a pretty awesome VN and that it is very twisty (although I haven't seen one yet). And that was the Tsugumi ending...? I don't really understand. Is that the true end? Or the good end (though that seems highly unlikely)? Or is there only one end?

Each heroine has one ending. That was Tsugumi's. They're all referred to as good ends, which is rather... debatable. Yes, that's the word. Debatable.

Anyway, you have three endings more and then there's an unlocked route.

There is one end for each route. After finishing all of the routes you'll unlock the True End.

Try avoiding this thread until you've finished!! Asking in the General Thread would be best for this kind of thing, since we use spoiler tags there, unlike this thread which is specifically the Spoiler Thread.

While someone is reading it, I don't mind spoilering things or just avoiding spoilers in general. It's not like we ever use this thread anyway.

There's only one true end, for four heroines? Now that is just sad. All that character development and interactions for choosing her was for nothing.

Thanks anyway. I'm surprised they even called this a Good End. When Takeshi said 'I'm not going to die' I was fully expecting him to survive out of sheer willpower like they always do in fiction and they then lived happily ever after. At the part where he died, I was basically going 'Hah?' and not fully believing that he actually died until the loopy message appeared.
