Well, I've replayed the game once more to get the bad and the best ending now that you released the walkthrough. I guess I could have done it by myself with enough tries, but it was nice to have it in order to enjoy without getting distracted by trial and error.

The bad ending was awful, as expected, but well, it was short so that's a thing? The best ending though - so wonderful!


Now that I've done that, I have a question if you don't mind . 

Something I forgot to ask when commenting before - when Makani wakes up on the beach after the final battle and the thing with the Goddess, it's said she goes to hug the closest body or something like that. Is it the person you're romancing, if you're on a romance route,  or maybe the person with highest friendship if not on a romance route, or is it scripted?


Man, I must admit now that I did the best ending I'm a bit sad because well, it's over haha. I could do the other endings in regards to friendship and romance, but I'd feel weird if I did - I'd rather stick with the one I did first - and well, if I do that, that's usually proof I've loved the game and relationship, as I don't feel the need to try any other option. 

On that matter, I must add another thing I forgot the last time, but I really like the transition between friendship and romance. You may not remember, but I was a bit worried that the romance option would be lacking or that it would tarnish the friendship aspect, back when we only had the demos. Since the game is about friendship, any of those mistakes would have been easy to make. I think it was a great idea to make Nareen slightly obsessed by Makani's romantic life and make him ask if she feels more than friendship for one of the boys, and then including that talk about the curse that would allow you to select the one. Thanks to that and to how it was dealt with in the epilogue, the transition was nice and smooth and very satisfactory. 

Yes, the sandbar scene where Makani hugs someone changes based on what ending you picked.  So she'll hug Riu in his romantic ending, Vane in Vane's ending, and so on, and then there's a slightly different version of the scene for the friendship ending too that includes all three of them.

Well it's too bad you don't want to see the rest, but I understand.  Sometimes when I'm playing a VN and get a favorite pair/ending, it's hard for anything else to measure up.  So nothing wrong with ending on a high note :)  And I'm glad the transition between friendship and romantic interest felt natural. Thanks again for playing!
