''Hoshizora no Memoria'' is it worth reading

its not a wast of time man '------'

This won't turn into another of those VN's with heroine paths that ends up being a complete waste of time will it?`Little busters, Rewrite and to a lesser degree, G-Senjou made me pretty damn irritated when the final routes just threw away everything. What was the point of even doing those routes? I really enjoy reading this VN thus far, but it's giving off some weird vibes. Star obsessed mysterious girl, she saying she wants to rid you of your nightmares, Ludicrous restaurant with a star themed menu, a heroine with a star accessory in her hair. If this ends with everything being a dream  or it being a fake place and nothing really happened apart from Mare, i wouldn't be surprised.

 

I much prefer when each heroine was a perfectly viable end even if it wasn't the "correct" end.

 

Understandable concern - I esp. agree about Little Busters. But you don't have to worry about it - every girl has a clear and distinct future, and the "true route" has no affect on them - rather then "true route", I'd simply call it the "unlocked route". After that, it's up to you to decide which is the actual true end.

Thanks. Wouldn't be a dealbreaker regardless since i enjoy this vn, and for some reason i find his sister pretty charming I just don't like when vn's do things the vn's i mentioned did.

The way the routes work is that the true route is like all the other routes, a separate timeline where the other routes don't happen. That said, the previous routes are fairly important because they reveal a lot of information that's important for the true route of the story. 

[Hayashi]

It is indeed worth reading, but few of the routes are just irrelevant to the final true ending route.

Recommend reading Asuho first. while she does not have a major impact on the finial route she serves as a very good introductory route.

[WinterfuryZX]

Worthless slice of life most of the time, it only get good in the True route and maybe in Komomo's.

Is there a font that is recommended above all else in this game? Having a bit trouble getting it right with the text.

Staircase custom font.

[Mugi]

Multiple times.

Fully agree. Komomo and her sister are the hands down best routes in the game. Mare's route is kind of meh imo.

[Suzu Fanatic]

Great slice of life most of the time, it only gets bad in the True route and in Aio's.

[Chuee]

Fully agree. Komomo and her sister are the hands down best routes in the game. Mare's route is kind of meh imo.

 

Mare's route is more of an alternate ending since her story is too entwined with Yume's to actually get a full-blown route. Also why the main plot-line for her route in the fandisk doesn't focus on her. 

[Stormwolf]

Fonts are acting weird in the game now for some reason. Had it running in the background for an hour or so and alt tabbed to fullscreen and it looks like this regardless which font i use now:

 

[Stormwolf]

How do i know when i'm in a heroine route in this game? Is it like key games and such where days stop counting and you get the heroine on the screen when the chapter starts? I'm currently at the training camp phase and the focus is pretty heavy on Ashuo, which is the one im going for now, but things are pretty unrequited still, so i'm unsure if this is the heroine route now or still the common path towards it.

[Chuee]

I think the common route ends sometime around

Komono joining the club.

[Stormwolf]

Ok, as suspected then, thanks!

 

One more thing. I heard something about the skip read text feature being troublesome. I'm nearing the end of this path, so i'd love to know what i should do if i need to do something for the skip read text to work properly for when i start out with the next route.

[Suzu Fanatic]

I personally don't recall any troubles with the skip button, but milage must vary. =/ Make sure you have it set to only skip previously read text, to avoid blowing past content by accident.

[WinterfuryZX]

I have the physical copy and the skip function doesen't properly works once you enter a character route

[Stormwolf]

any reason to skip anything in character routes? Aren't they all different?

 

Anyway, i guess it should work then. Just enable the skip read text in options and it should work properly. Thanks!

[WinterfuryZX]

The game doesn't stop skipping therefore you have to pay attention and manually stop the skipping before the common route ends. The skip function works fine with unread text in the common route, though

[Stormwolf]

I'm a completionist, so i'll complete each and every route! But obviously i'm not going to read the entire VN each time, so i hope the autoskip and transition to heroine route won't cause any problems. I've only done one path and i'm still not sure when the route actually started. Stop the skip after last choice might be a way though.
