Yumiko Sakaki route praise thread?

[Mr. Meogii]

Yumiko is the reason I keep reading visual novels!

So what do you say taco, wanna join?

[crunchytaco]

What? I don't think they are.

After all, I'm fairly sure Meogii and HMN have called Yumiko 'Kami-sama' more than once, and now they're coming up with a name for their group. It's a plain fact. ;P

Furthermore, it's not like I dislike Yumiko, I've posted in the earlier pages of this thread.

 

Sounds questionable. 'Guys should probably hold up Tiagofvarela in the room for investigating.

Wait, why am I the only one getting posed with this question while everyone else just naturally fell in? Lol

[Mr. Meogii]

Lol because once we realised everyone fell in naturally we decided to make the joining process official ;3

I guess because I was smooth enough to join the thread but not playing favorites yet. Or it can be that Meogii really wants you.

because you're the only one how hasn't realized how awesome our kami-sama is!

[Mr Poltroon]

Excuse me, but I'm busy worshiping Michiru at the moment. Please take me in for questioning at a later date.

What? You crazy HMN. I should sacrifice you a couple more times to Yumiko .

It's rare to see a Chiruchiru lover. Personally I liked her, but I'm not too sure if she's my favorite.

well we won't force anyone in worshiping our kami-sama our yumiko wouldn't want this

I know this is meant to be a Yumiko praise thread, however as far as "main heroines" go (which is what Yumiko is considered) her route was rather disappointing imo. Not that its all bad, it definitely is still better than Michirus Route.

[Mr. Meogii]

I second HMN

Kami sama is not desperate

I found them to be on the same level, in my personal opinion. At this moment without ranking Amane since I'm still playing her route I've put in my personal ranking, Michiru's, Yukiko's and Sachi's routes on the same level with Makina's slightly above them.

I'm going to put this in spoiler text so I can point everything out, 

First of all, the Bodyguard spiel could have been handled better it felt like something out of a Shouen, the entire Ichigaya trailing Yuuji and Yumiko seemed rather half assed, while the flash back was good it was't great Angelic Howl handled the flash back much better, as did Makina's route, the chasing down a plane and throwing a frozen turkey at a Jet Engine was also just stupid, I mean it wasn't all bad, at least it was better than a fake tsundere, shitty pretend dating, a dead cat, and a split personality that gets reduced to a imaginary friend in the sequels thing so there is that.

To each their own I guess, Michiru's plot devices may have not been the best, but I don't think it was all that bad. On another note, Amane really gives H-scenes left and right huh, i'm already through 3 out of 5.

The route might have been sucky but our yumiko sure as hell was not XD

iirc all of her hscenes are before Angelic Howl kicks off which once it does It was for me easily the most enjoyable route in the entire VN

Angelic howl has been pretty hyped to me so I'm looking forward to it, but I'm scared of the feels. I just hope it isn't like Makina's good end, I raged a bit about that. I liked Makina's route but that end.

I never said I disliked Yumiko. I was just pointing out that her route wasn't the best, Her route was definitely better than Michiru's maybe even better than Sachi's but imo Compared to Seeds of the World Tree (Makina's) and Angelic Howl (Amane's) it was just disappointing.

[crunchytaco]

I think Amane's route needs to be played first to be fully appreciated. Some of the game's more serious theme music was just made for her route.

The part where she and Kazuki runs away, that theme made the whole scene haunting and beautiful.

Played in the other routes cheapens them.

Well not to be disrespectful crunchy but I find that argument so-so, for example in F/SN I found that the Kierunai Omoi track from the VN OST fully fitted Unlimited Blade Works, but that doesn't mean it cannot be as good in other routes.

It's just an opinion. There's no right or wrong, but I feel there's a bigger gap in tonality and consistency in each route in Grisaia than there was in F:SN. Some routes were made specifically to appeal to a specific emotion, like Michiru where comedy is more abundant; Sachi's anguish; and Amane's is desperation. So in the same vein, I believe that the music played a large role in suiting those emotions into what fit and what didn't. E.g. they used the same theme music for one of Amane's more serious moment, while reusing the same theme for a comedic part in Michiru's route. 

 

F:SN's Kierunai Omoi played appropriately during all the flashbacks and drew similar emotions for me in each.

Point taken, I was under the impression that you mentioned that even in similar toned situations that the ost was more fiting for Amane's route, seems like I somewhat misunderstood your argument.

 

EDIT: Damn that Amane 4th H-scene, I don't usually enjoy h-scenes a great deal, but, apart from Makina's scenes due to the obvious comedy ensued, it was the first h-scene that I actually enjoyed reading.

well you know a good character doesn't always stand for a good for a good route and sadly yumiko's route was very disappointing in a lot of ways

She has the most scenes in the game. I think the writer really enjoyed making her scenes.

 

Yumikos' were my favorite but in terms of memory, Michirus' probably burned in my mind the most. *brrr*
