Something to add to "Tipps and Tricks", I would think...

Yes will add the list made by Miakoda, useful

Ah sorry thought in the first post of this thread! Well maybe in both

My friend and I recently spent several hours attempting to get Dominic's good ending and found it impossible. We tried the game on normal and on easy. We read all of your tips and tricks, but our main problem was that new events kept happening in time slots where we were required to get that specific stat up. If we play the event, we don't get the stat we require, if we skip the event, we still weren't getting the stat we require. I know we need a combined score of 600 on the primary and secondary stats, but the highest we were able to get was usually in the 450 range. Is there a reason that the Dominic path is so difficult to achieve? Is this a problem with our game? Are we doing something wrong?



If we could please get some help, we'd appreciate it. I was able to get Rakesh's good ending, so I know it's not something I'm doing wrong game-wise. If I'm doing something wrong path-wise, could someone please help? And if we aren't doing anything wrong, could I suggest in the future that this level of difficulty is addressed. I was really enjoying the Dominic route and would love to finally be able to complete it properly. Thank you.

I don't know, you managed to get Rakesh good ending that many other people are having troubles getting so seems strange that Dominic's route is causing you all this trouble. It can be reached since many people saw that ending already, so far didn't get many complaints about it being too difficult. Is true that some scenes will make you skip activities but there should be plenty of time, especially in the latter part when you get the advanced jobs!

Just did a "quick run", mostly skipping scenes and not playing very carefully, and still managed to get the required stats playing in Easy BEFORE Spring Break:

so is most definitely possible to get the required stats!

@Lady-NeonHearts: Possibly you did not keep the energy up. No matter how the events fall, you will be able to get some stat up at least. But the amount of stat you get depends on the energy you have, so keep it above 80 all the time and you should be fine.

Um... so basically there's supposed to be a box saying "Good ending unlocked or something" ? I've played through Anne's 3 routes and saw no text box T_T When does the box appear anyway?

Well here are what I got in the endings, maybe you can tell me whether I got the best one...

Max

Show Spoiler

Well I played his route first and since it was some time ago, I can barely remember, maybe something like he's still with Anne, still got good grades but the band broke up 'cuz the drummer was married etc etc and he together with Memphis thought of forming a new band. Ugh, can barely remember...

Dominic

Show Spoiler

They're together, got his Master's degree and Anne stop working at the school first, got a place then invited him to stay with her, asked him to marry her, of course he agreed, the ceremony was in Paris, and Dominic now works on safety testing for a local car manufacturer and they're still together.

Isabella

Show Spoiler

Well she and Anne broke up after some time, she went back to Mexico, Anne tried dating some other girls 'cuz she found guys weren't her type anymore, but no-one could replace Isabella and apparently they both thought the same way, they met each other again and continued their relationship, Anne went to Mexico with Isa and her parents accepted Anne happily.

A box only appears if you didn't get the best ending. The 'best ending' is essentially where the Main Character and their love interest become a couple Mind you, there could some time when they are apart, or in the case of Max/Isabella, talk of meeting again.



And yes, those are the good endings for Max, Dominic, and Isabella. The good endings was altered text.

Oh? So yay~ I got the best endings! Thanks for the helpful info!

Ok, so after being a bit frustrated of barely managing to get spring break and never getting the happy endings several times despite unsuccessful changes of the planning and being on easy mode, i decided to do a little test, inspired by the one posted up there by Jack:



So this is what I get following this example, in easy mode(IOS version), but by playing most of the scenes:

As you can see, my results are way lower, even if they are better then what I used to get by myself. So it confirms that playing too much events do get you big drops in stats.



Is it supposed to be that hard to get the happy endings, even with the easy mode ? I feel like I need a dummy mode but I admit I was expecting the easy mode to allow you to get through the story and enjoy most if not all the events without worrying too much about planning and stats, just by focusing on the right ones. Boy, was I wrong !

Going by what may be PC, it is possible to raise stats and do all the events. However, the iOS/Android may just be running more difficultly.



One problem I notice is that you probably should be sleeping more. I'd recommend at least sleeping in on Mon-Wed-Fri, as well as at least one weekend morning. If your energy is above 75% (it may be 80%), it allows the afternoon activities to get a bonus which, in the long run, can add up. Now, you may have to put some afternoon study in, especially if you are romancing someone which require grades (like Max romancing Anne)



Something else is if the energy gets to low, then your tiredness can lower the amount of points you gain as well.

Well the iOS/Android difficulty is set a bit differently, so maybe will tweak that if even in Easy mode is hard to get the endings. Anyway if by Spring Break you're at 190+304 = 494 surely you should manage to get the remaining 106 points by end of the semester??

The sleeping is a good advice,thanks I used to do that before. What I posted was directly derived from the quick run done by Jack just up there.

Yep, it would if Dominic required Rational + Reflective. My bad, I took a bad example



This is why I failed at getting Dominic's ending (Rational/organized):

You can raise rational 7 times/week (Office (3)+ Chess (4)), as pictured here:

Then you also need to raise organized, but, contrary to the reflective stat I used on the previous example, it's on the exact same spot as rational, so you have to sacrifice one for the other:

And since I cared about grades, I used to do small variants of that (and sleeping is not an issue here):

Which was enough for springbreak (barely)

But too low for the end:

My guess would be that the way to win this would be to focus on one to get it to the advance state sooner (office -> physic class for example), then focus on the other? Still seems to require a lot of thinking for an easy mode to me, even if I know that I must be a bad example, because I always play on easy because I just want to read the story, not really to be challenged

I'm playing this game on my android tablet and I've played Dominic's path 4 times and still cant get the happy ending I follow other peoples tips and walk through I even get enough sleep and I cant reach the stats required. As for rakesh I'm not sure if I got the happy ending I've played it several times and I do manage to reach the stats with him and I follow the walkthrough. Can someone put under a spoiler his good ending? So I can make sure I have at least managed to obtain one good ending?

OK I think the mobile version perhaps is too hard, will make an update to it in next weeks

Cool ! It's still fun to play, even without the best endings, but since that's the only thing I haven't unlocked yet, and after yet another failed attempt, I'll definitely wait for it before trying again. I'm not sure I can do it without dropping so many events that it's not worth getting a good ending. When I play, I don't want to read only the dateable guy's story, I want to also learn more about Sally, and Isabella,... so it pains me everytime I have to refuse an event for strategic reasons like "Sorry, can't do the final party, I have to raise my stats, otherwise my bf will dump me in the end!" xD



Are there people reaching the best ending with events of the IOS version, in normal and difficult mode? I'd be quite curious on how they do it?

I think there was a bug in mobile with some characters difficulty, I fixed the Android versions, but for iOS will take more time!

@Lady-NeonHearts: Possibly you did not keep the energy up. No matter how the events fall, you will be able to get some stat up at least. But the amount of stat you get depends on the energy you have, so keep it above 80 all the time and you should be fine.

It appears are energy was the problem. I thought we were doing fine, but apparently it was still diving too low. It took a bit of careful planning, and a few more playthroughs but we finally got it. Thank you all for your help. It usually takes me a few playthroughs to truly get the hang of a game. We appreciate the help.

It's ok, I can wait. Thanks for fixing it
