Major spoiler warning but I'm actually so confused
I completely forgot about Lien's secret ending. I wasn't even trying to get it, I was just replaying to try and get the good ending scene because I like to collect the endings in my saves. But then all of a sudden, new text just appeared and I got a new ending?? I don't even have a clue what triggered it. Is it random? Do you get it if you play her route enough times??? Is it from certain choices? I swear I didn't do anything differently. I haven't even picked the neutral dialogue options yet, what the hell.
Also, what the hell is that ending anyway? It's actually so interesting because the open ended nature just leaves so much potential for how everything could play out. Anyways, rant over I was just really shocked. It's seriously been too long since I last played this game
Edit: also, sorry for spamming so many comments in such a short amount of time. I'll try to hold back everything else for my one big ass comment of all the thoughts that I needed to marinate on for longer or wanted to wait until seeing the end of the game
