As the minor details are a bit sketchy for me after all this time, I concede my defeat on the matters clarified in your first post. <br />On the other hand I'm still not sold on Jin. Obviously he should realize that the continuing war can only result in total destruction of the Demon Kingdom. Promise to Gardis or not, the Prime Minister's duty should be to the people of the nation and not to the King. As he knew the truth about Croft, he should have done anything in order to remedy the situation or else he was unworthy of his position. Oh, well, I found Jin so unlikable that I wasn't even surprised by the reveal. You clarifying that the route was done by a different writer explains a lot.beliarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342243438766110480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409164208805817744.post-13068968729588640022013-09-01T23:48:39.379+03:002013-09-01T23:48:39.379+03:00"And finally, Jin is revealed to have always ..."And finally, Jin is revealed to have always had means to stop a war between Almenan and Deathryde. Why the fuck hadn't he used that in the other routes?! And finally, why hadn't Chris' sister started a coup d'état in the two main routes? She did that in Jin's route due to her love for Chris and not because she was previously Jin's mistress. What was stopping her in Gardis' and Lez's routes?"<br /><br />It should be noted that Jin’s route was written by a different writer than the one who did both Gardis and Lezette’s route, so some plot elements have been handled quite differently. That said, the flaws within Jin’s route don’t affects the outcomes and events of the other routes. You've forgotten that Gardis hides the fact that Helaris annihilated Croft and took all the blame on himself because he doesn't wished the human to go to war against each other. When Jin entered Christina's mind, he has found out that she was involved and was later put under a spell by her mother. Still, he doesn't make any move based on this. You should have realized that Jin was previously a man who acted on passion before his sister's death, before he became the current cold Prime Minister. It was after he broke down because of jealousy that he later went to Christina's sister and told her everything and makes the rebellion plan, obviously without Gardis knowledge. That scene was named as “His Role Collapses” if it wasn't that obvious already. He also kept what happens in the cave a secret and tells a white lie to her so that should tell us something about his cunning personality. <br /><br />Her sister doesn't start a coup d'état simply because 1) she didn't know about what happens in Croft 2) Jin is still the cold Prime Minster and respect Gardis wishes to keep Croft event as a secret. Also, she isn't Jin mistress; the word “puppet” doesn't imply that they have an intimate relationship and neither of her reaction towards his handsome appearance. He doesn't even enter her room during the scene.<br /><br />The only flaw that it has is the fact that you could talk with Shade in the church during the map segment despite the being wasn't mentioned anyway else in Jin’s route.<br />Game of Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126519506230482339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409164208805817744.post-15820877429536865762013-09-01T23:48:15.199+03:002013-09-01T23:48:15.199+03:00I've finished TSR recently so I checked its VN...I've finished TSR recently so I checked its VNDB thread to amuse myself with the silly discussions when I happen to saw the link to your review. Now, I've to say that there’s a part of it that I agree with, but I've also found some very glaring errors within it. I hope you don’t mind me correcting it.<br /><br />This post will be a choke full with spoilers so everyone shouldn't read it if they have not finished the game. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br />“As a daughter of a half-demon mother and a full demon father she should be fearsomely powerful”<br /><br />This is quite a big mistake. Helaris was still a virgin when he met Vardes and even if he did impregnate her and stole her virginity, Christina shouldn't have been his daughter because she's Helaris third daughter. So no, she doesn't have a full demon father. Furthermore, in Lezette's epilogue for Valetine's day, Helaris diary stated that she named her third daughter Christina despite the name carries a bitter memory of her past. In addition, the power of demon has weakened over the time that some demon has actually resembled more of a human as Gardis said it, plus, the demon blood that runs within the royal bloodline must have thinned out, which is why Helaris spell was quite weak and easily breakable. I don't even think she could be called a quarter-demon mother. <br /><br /><br />“Christina's demonic status is also downplayed and barely mentioned and once Lezette confirms that by expecting Chris to display magical powers, but the plot thread vanishes without reaching a conclusion. We find almost nothing about the Gap and the reason the time loop happens. The presence of Shade is also an enigma and, while I speculate that he is a recurring character from "Queen of Darkness", I don't know if that is true. In Jin's route he is implied to be over a thousand years old, but why he is seeking Keys and who he really is is never revealed.”<br /><br />As Helaris stated, some of the people who carry the tainted royal bloodline sometimes exhibit a demon trait, like inheriting magic power or have a longer life span. They may or may not develop this ability. Christina's power is most likely the reason why she could enter the Gap and went back to time. The identity of Shade has bugged for quite sometimes too, but the TSR translator said he is someone from the QoD VN. <br />Game of Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126519506230482339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409164208805817744.post-6901264438789749612013-08-20T18:17:24.466+03:002013-08-20T18:17:24.466+03:00Hmm...
