Battle Rankings. His screeches are painfully female. Yes, Clannad OST is Best OST. So many of those themes instantly make me cry when I hear them. T__T -Arvis

Yeah, like I said, she definitely won me over. But now, this begs the question: who will replace her as Worst Girl, for me? Early odds favor Mio Nishizono... >.> -Arvis

Okay, folks, the break is over! I have picked LB back up and played about an hour today on my lunch break. Normally, there wouldn't be anything to report after such a short time, except I had stopped right before the baseball game. After losing 13 - 2 in my first game, I did... well, A LOT better this time around! I admit, though, that i used the lineup and positions suggested by the walkthrough. 13 - 2 just demoralized me way too much. So, basically... going into the final inning, I was actually winning 5 - 3! Rin even hit an inside-the-park home run to get us there! I was so proud of her. Then the Captains Team decided to score two runs without my getting a single out. So it was all tied up. At this point I was like "Well, I'm screwed." And then, who would go all Hero Mode on me but... KOMARI KAMIKITA!? The very next batter hit a pop-fly that Komari caught in the air for an out. I was like "Wow, that's surprising." But that wasn't all. A couple batters later, still tied at 5 - 5, Komari not only pulled ANOTHER fly ball out of the air, but made the throw to 2nd for the double-play! I was like "YES I LOVE YOU KOMARI!" So... all I needed was ONE run! One run and we're all celebrating a huge upset victory! I was getting goosebumps. This was my moment of triumph. Instead, after getting Kurugaya on base, I just got a bunch of outs and the game ended in a draw. A draw. 5 - 5. W. T. H. And what made it worse, was that, afterwards, all the characters kept talking about how they lost. I was like "We didn't lose, it was a draw, DANG IT!!" I can't believe they didn't write any script for a draw. *sigh* Also, I was able to end the Battle Rankings with Riki at the top! Sweeet! But I don't think anything happened. Not sweet. I guess you need to get to the top before a certain date in order to unlock

Oh? Hm. I will keep an eye out for this "memorial edition". Also: done. Sorry, I just assume that I am the only person here who hasn't completed LB yet. -Arvis

Yeah, I don't think I'll be playing any other version of Little Busters other than this one, since I don't play anything with H in it. Which of course means I will never see any of the extra routes. Which is a shame, since I am kind of interested in that Disciplinary Committee girl, Kanata or whatever her name was. Anyways, UPDATE START: Unfortunately, I haven't "officially" gotten on to Komari's route, yet, but everything is going smoothly. I have mostly stopped skipping dialogue because there seems to be a lot of new stuff this time around, most specifically surrounding Kengo. First of all: Again, I might finally take a break now, since it's been nothing but Little Busters for me for like a week now. But perhaps not. We'll see. -Arvis

Thanks for the tip, Life. Another question (since I am playing right now): what's the deal with Kurugaya's ecchi pose in the status screen!? Everyone else is totally normal, and there she is with her boobs all over the place. I completed her route and never saw nearly so much of her. It's such a random thing. -Arvis

That is not a hopeful sign, for me. BTW, guys, how the crap do you get Kengo to join the baseball team? Not having a centerfielder really messed me up, before. I want to look it up but I am afraid of spoilers. -Arvis

SO MANY SPOILERS I CAN'T READ!! T_____T Thanks for using the spoiler tags, though. Much appreciated. I stayed up late last night to finish the Kurugaya route. Is was exceedingly melancholy and unsatisfying. I was so unsatisfied, I tried to find some information on it, to see if would all "make sense" later. What I discovered is that, apparently, Kurugaya has her own "true route" ending that you can only view once you have done Refrain? Is that correct? Anyways, the game definitely went a completely insane direction there. One of the things I was enjoying most about LB was the complete lack of anything "supernatural". It was refreshing, interesting, and sucked me into the world. Then all of a sudden I was like "What the heck, am I in the Matrix? Vanilla Sky? WHAT IS THIS!? CLANNAD DREAM WORLD??!?! AAAAAGH!!!" And then it ended. Blegh. My poor precious Kurugaya. Would you guys say that, once I have finished this, it would be worth it to do the Kurugaya route again to see the "true" ending? Anyways, gonna do the Komari route now. HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, BOON! -Arvis

Both. So Fal has 6 (evil) votes, Lise has 6 votes, and Torta and Phorni have 13 each. This is acceptable. -Arvis

Lise has her fans. I just....... don't understand them at all. Either way, Torta and Phorni are now leading the poll, so I definitely feel like I have done my job here. Honestly, if I didn't love Torta so much, I really might have voted for Ms. Cordell. She's really cool. -Arvis
