Finally got back to the game after a long bout of illness, and continuing Noel's story.
Got bad ending first, which was, in itself, deliciously tantalizing. What is up with those Six Heroes? From what little clues I can gather, society and level of technological development wasn't much more advanced than what we have now, and magic was all but nonexistent (with the occasional vampire). This, of course, begs the question - where did Nine come from? I have suspicions that none of the Six Heroes are native.
Whilst it's nice that it's not necessary to lose every match to get 100% completion, it's moot, since matches have to sometimes be lost to unlock additional paths. Still, from what I understand, there is only a True End, a Bad End and a Silly End for each path, right?
[edit] I freaking knew it! I called it! I mean, sure, the game goes and has Hazama plot dump like a crazy sumbitch, but I totally figured out (vast chunks of) the plot before aforementioned plotdump was made! Feeling pretty good about myself right now. Also, good plot.
