I won't lie. This update made me a little sad. Basically tells me that Nomine won't likely be joining us until the very end of the game. Always hate when my fav girl gets pushed to the end.

It's alright. Seems to be something that happens a lot across varying forms of media. Just sad that Nomine seems to be the destination instead of part of the journey. I was genuinely hoping we would rescue her at the halfway point of the game, and she would get to help us take on whatever we're supposed to face, but it looks like she's stuck with the possible big bad (and potentially even end up working with the big bad) which means we'll rescue her and reunite and then roll credits. I do enjoy some of the other characters but my favorite not being part of the game itself outside of a plot device has really curbed my enthusiasm for it.
That...that actually does cheer me up. I've watched too many anime and played too many games/AVNs that have sidelined (if not outright killed) my favorite characters. So knowing the game won't end when we rescue her does make me considerably happier. Also glad to hear you have much bigger plans than such a simple story arc.
