Muv-Luv Alternative

Just finished. Was expecting it to have a lot worse content, but nothing that was actually that bad.

Was good, but by the time of episode 9, I just wanted it to be over so that I could get on to another game. It wasn't bad, but that episode dragged on for so long. I guess the very long thing was getting to me because it's mostly kinetic instead of the shorter routes thing of stuff like Clannad and Little Busters which I had played long ago.

[Muv-Luv and Muv-Luv Alternative spoilers](#s "The parts that people probably find the worst were the Marimo deaths and the Sumika tentacle rape thing. Those ones were definitely unexpected, while plenty of other deaths were expected. Like when Tama and Ilya promise each other to stay alive and visit Ilya's homeland after the war, it was obvious that they were about to kill off Ilya. Most of the others you could see coming too, though I was hoping the teammates would survive in the end.

Not a fully happy end since the threat is still there in the other world and who knows how that will end up, but it's still more hope than they had. Pretty much had called the whole Sumika making Takeru into the causality conductor before it was revealed.

So Takeru's original world seems to not be the one from Extra. Meiya's sister appears in the ending and is not dead, and Kasumi is there to compete for his love too. Mikoto still seems to be a girl in the actual world instead of a boy like Takeru was thinking?")

Also, I didn't seem to unlock music player after finishing? Do I have to get all the endings for that, or is it just not there? Going to get the other endings for the 100% Steam achievements, which shouldn't take too long with being able to skip most of the content from where I need to chapter select to the ending.
