when Ritsuko times out

Thanks to the Sakura Taisen Complete Song Box, I had heard the three versions of Kiseki no Kane quite a few times before, and written it off as a pretty nice song that reminded me of some American feel good TV series I forget (I don’t watch many American TV shows), but the significance of this song struck me fully in the gut after going through this chapter. This is such an awesome chapter and to back it up, you even get to see the Kagekidan performing on stage (usually you’re just out there clipping tickets), and plus you get an awesome theme song, and you get to go on two awesome dates (which you never have done so far in ST2). I listened to all three versions of Kiseki no Kane again after playing through that, and boy, I love this chapter. I also really enjoyed going to the church with Sakura, although maybe that’s just my personal bias. Also, the patrol through the theatre also let you see all the different girls once as they pluck flower petals (in their own way) wondering if they’ll be chosen.

So I had to choose which girl would be the main character for the Kiseki no Kane show. Sigh… I really don’t see anybody could consider Leni or Kanna as a possible candidate for Mary, but hey, they’re the top 4 girls who like me (see previous Sakura Taisen 2 post) so I guess that works out. Still, though, Leni? Please.

On a totally different note, sorry Sumire. I’ll play through this game another time and choose you next time, okay? Oh, and go to the beach with you again.

So, I had to choose who was to be the virgin Mary. There was even a ticking timer going on as I looked at all of them one last time (well, except for Kanna, whoops, didn’t have time) and I chose Sakura after all. I thought I’d choose Sumire, but that would just be like a bee wandering about from flower to flower, and besides this isn’t life… I can always play again another time. At least I know I’ll be playing this game at least one more time.

Well, that took only about 40 minutes to go through all that. This is an incredible stress reliever that actually gets quite addictive. Unfortunately I have no intention of fighting a revived Kokkikai tonight, even if Ayame/Kaede is involved, and so good night Sakura Taisen 2.

The FAQ said that Koi no Hassha All Right! would be featured somewhere in this chapter, but I don’t remember hearing it.
