Like I'm not someone who's gonna fanboy about old art all the time, but like seriously? Look at that fucking blonde girl and then look at this.

It's quite a big yikes.

And I'm done with Chocola. Kanako's route is probably best described as: Nice, but Midori exists, so it has no chance of being the best.

Ending-wise Midori's route was probably feeling the most complete. I don't know why her dream was just forgotten in Kanako's route. Devalued the ending there a lot in my opinion. We don't even need to talk about the other two major heroines. They pale. HARD. Misato could've been quite good, but she was underused. The final epilogue made this clear once more, even though she was only mentioned in passing there.
Aside of that, sometimes I feel that the characters don't talk enough with each other. As in, stuff that you see. In Midori's route it's clear how important Kanako is to her. But not because you get that shown. Because you get that told. Matter of fact wise. You never see any reason why these two are supposed to be good friends. That obviously hurts Kanako's route as well, where I feel like there was generally a lot more time on the past needed.

Well, it was fun. Standard edition is very hit or miss though. They didn't even port the ps2 Midori final short story over. Which is extremely weird, given that the game otherwise IS the ps2 version, with all its changes in gameplay towards the end. (god was that change good. The calendar system was already shit enough for 2 months, I'm glad I didn't get another month of that shit..) Also apparently standard has a newer engine than re-order. I'm not sure how bad re-order is, hopefully not as bad as Ripple, but... yeah. In standard you have all you need, other than ctrl actually skipping everything while you have "skip only read text" set. You know, what ctrl actually does in every fucking VN, other than Giga ones. But yeah, it's normal in Giga stuff. As dumb as it is.
