Okay. So I played the game and got one of the routes. Tried for a second route with the same save file, already did the prerequisite to not get that one route ending where it ended earlier than its supposed to and apparently the event thinks that I completed 2 when I already done all 3 of the Guardian routes. Mind you, this is after I got that earlier ending and I followed through the select route screen. So I dunno if that's a bug that I should address or not. Also when you enter the game again in the same route, its just black screen. Presumably its to fast forward all your already established choices? I'm unsure of that. I might just watch other people get the other routes and see how it goes. (Or I might start over again but honestly the thing is that shift is so slow because of the pauses that I kinda have to wait) I tend to be a relatively fast reader so I can pick up the characters' wordings as I read through while shifting.
However, I must say. The music, immaculate. The calming piano is really making me feel comfortable. Whomever made the soundtrack I should give kudos, well done. The atmosphere and ambiance, spectacular. The writing, poignant in some aspect though a bit verbose in others. Threw a bit of levity to the mix and its quite the entrancing experience. The character designs are lovely. The "fairy" being quite the highlight and the story regarding the moon, the guardians, the trials they face, the hero's doubts regarding their worth during the journey and more. They really make you experience quite the adventure.
The pixel art's definitely the highlight and the eyecatcher of this entry. Just wow the artist pulls off some of the most gorgeous pixel art designs and lush background design I've ever seen.
This Visual Novel certainly has a lot of polish and visual spectacle down, my gripes aside. And I hope I can get around to playing it to get the other routes eventually.
