Well, for someone who's not eloquent, you are very eloquent actually.
Hmm, I don't really agree with you about the choice. I thought it was stupid. The choice is basically everybody saying, 'We're your real family', and that's it, not any arguments, no anything just that.
Even the third path is basically Kamui saying 'we shouldn't fight, we can work together', how about bringing up some arguments sometime ? Like 'hey, you lied to me all of my life', 'are you sure you are not hidding something from me ?', something, instead of playing the goody two shoes. It doesn't help that your families are just so stuborn for no reason. Bah.
I also don't like how the game have to make you feel bad. I don't care about 99% of Hoshido or it's characters, I choosed Nohr, because I gave a damn about Nohr's characters. I don't care if Sakura is crying because her soldiers are killed. If the game put into my face 'oh it's sad, I'm sorry lalala...', something like that, the game is telling me what to feel, and to me It's bad writing as it's finest.
.... Well, what I do care however, is when Ganz and Iago kill people just for the evulz, it was just so freaking stupid.
It's even worse when the game is basically saying: Hoshido => Good guys, your true family, well not really but this will never be developed as it should be, you should join them. Nohr => Bad guys, not your true family, you shouldn't join them.
I haven't played the Third path yet, just read the summary, but it is apparently the same if not worse, since it will still guilt-trip you for not choosing anyone, despite them swinging weapon at me and not listening to pretty much anything. And some people wonder why I would ever want to kill those idiots.
I should be feeling bad, not KamuI, and the story should never tell me what to feel. Especially if it's that obvious or dumb.
I said it again, a path where I could kill them all, or a real independent path, would've been great..
Sooo, that's the third path excuse ? If you talk about Touma, you're tranformed into foam ? How. Freaking. Convenient...
I don't dislike Aqua, but damn, dat walking plot device.
Oh yeah, am I the only who find Lilith's death in Nohr stupid ? Just asking now that I think about it.
