Arc

If you want to go for story progression of each tier separately, Arc -> Ciel -> Akiha or Hisui -> Kohaku

Ciel should be gotten out of the way so that you're not left wondering about anything Near Side related. Kohaku should always be last.

Kohaku. Don't listen to the trolls who tell you to do Arc or Ciel first.

Why are you so slow?

>>1944139
Mostly laziness, and not having finished F/SN.

Quick, spoil the endings for him!

I don't have the other image saved, but this will do.

Kohaku > Hisui > Akiha > Ciel > Bitch

Arc -> Ciel -> Akiha -> Hisui -> Kohaku is the recommended order. People will tell you that Kohaku's route should always be played last, and they're very very right, but you should make sure that Hisui's is also 2nd to last because Hisui's ties into Kohaku's a LOT. With Arc, Ciel, and Akiha it doesn't actually matter all that much what order you do them in, except for obviously you can't play Akiha for your first.

Also, all of the routes are good. /jp/ has no taste at all.

>>1944165
due to autoasphyxiation from trying to suck his own cock.

Play them in whatever order you want (within the restrictions of the game). It really won't affect your overall enjoyment of the game. I promise.

>>1944222
I disagree, I read Ciel after Kohaku and it was a big let down. Kohaku's ending feels more like an overall ending.

>>1944168
>Arc -> Ciel -> Akiha -> Hisui -> Kohaku

This is the best order to play them. It won't make as much sense otherwise.

Not that it'll make sense this way.

THIS AIN'T A PROBLEM WITH KOHAKU, THOUGH, 'CAUSE SHE'S AS BARREN AS A SALTED DESERT

SHE HAS LESS EGGS THAN KING HENRY'S FIRST FIVE WIVES

HER VAGINA IS LIKE A NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMP, AND THE SPERM ARE THE JEWS

WHEN JESUS SPOKE OF SEED FALLING ON THE ROCKS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT KOHAKU

SHE ALWAYS MAKES DINNER BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY TIME SHE CAN HAVE SOMETHING BAKING IN HER OVER

ORIGINALLY NASU WANTED HER TO SPEAK ONLY IN ELLIPSIS, BUT HE COULDN'T BECAUSE THE GIRL DIDN'T HAVE ANY PERIODS

AW SNAP

>>1944231
I also played Ciel's route last but it didn't bother me. I tend to view each route of a visual novel as it's own self contained story though. F/SN is the closest thing to an exception, but even then I think each route works as a stand alone story.

>>1944268
I wish I could hate you dead.

But that was a pretty good Kohaku dig.

Try going for Ciel the first time, since you'll probably end up with Arc anyway.

Do my route first, even if you hate it. Then you'll understand the main frame of reference in the story. Then Ciel, then Hisui, then Kohaku, and lastly Akiha, if you're prepared.

>>1944268
well played.

>>1944268

Akiha has about as much depth as she has cleavage.

>>1944311
I had a dream were all routes were on the same reality.

First Arc and Ciel up to Nero.
'twas mostly arc, but it had Ciel bits (You help her on the school's garden, she's the one who helps you after you cut Arcueid, She heals you after killing Nero)
After finishing with Chaos, Arcueid leaves and Hisui Good route follows. Although Shiki doesn't openly fall in love with her.
Just after SHIKI is 'killed' (he escapes) Arcueid returns and it's her route up to the final battle, where ROA is killed and Arc goes rampant (Ciel's route, true end bit)
Afterwards, Kohaku route. Even when her plan was already discovered, she follows it because she doesn't know what else to do. Akiha absorbs SHIKI and turns into a red-haired bitch. Shiki and Kohaku manage to stop her without (too much) bloodshed and she uses her will to suppress SHIKI's influence. Though, in the long run, she fails and Akiha True goes on and it's the end.

Of course, Ciel heals Shiki and he returns to Japan later on(KT) but that's another story.

>(...)Besides, "The 27 Ancestors of the Dead Apostles" sounds more poetic than "The 27 Most Scary as All Fuck, We're Not Even Kidding, Beings in the World."
Lol'd
Again.

>>1944411
I had a nightmare in which I saw Ryougi Shiki's blood-stained face in the rain in KnK. After this instant, I was in my bed staring at the dark ceiling, which I assumed meant I was waking up. Suddenly, the sheets tightened around me and I was straddled by someone. Then, I saw a figure with a knife smiling while preparing to stab me in the heart.

Then I woke up.

>>1944395
Don't you talk that way about my stalkee.

>>1944445
You're a wimp.

I'd punch her in the cock.

Well thanks for the route suggestions /jp/ I'll start on Arc and finish with Kohaku.

>>1944268
That's a good thing. Who the fuck want kids?

>>1944545
I dream of having a wife and children someday ;_;

>>1944568
And then grandchildren who are also my children.

>>1944568
Kohaku is your wife and Ren is your child.

What's so hard to follow?

>>1944576

Listen, Edward... I have no idea what you're talking about.

>>1944592
>Edward

What.

>>1944568
>>1944574
Enjoy having half of your shit broken by your ADHD afflicted children and blowing all your money on them instead of the nice things you wish you could get and replace.

>>1944609
Thanks I will

I hope... ;_;

>>1944615
Wait, so your wife is pregnant? When did that happen?

Skip Ciel and Akiha. Hisui's route is utter shit, but the twist at the end prepares you for Kohaku's route.

Start with Arc because they tell you to, then feel depressed about starting with a character you don't really care about.

>>1944622
Why is there another of me?

>>1944629
>skip
>Akiha

These two words don't belong together.

>>1944534
Don't listen to them.
Ciel > Hisui > Kohaku > Akiha > Arc
That way you know whether or not to go any further soon on then have to deal with all the shit up front and give up before you even get to the good ones. Order beyond required doesn't have any effect with these so take the good ones at first.

>>1944639
lolno

>>1944632
Wouldn't it be worse to finish with a character you don't care about?

>>1944622
see: >I hope... ;_;

Arc -> Ciel -> Akiha -> Hisui -> Kohaku

You may encounter some boredom at the beginning, but the game makes the most sense this way.

>>1944660

>That way you know whether or not to go any further soon on then have to deal with all the shit up front and give up before you even get to the good ones.

hur hur hur, a dick waving contest between trolls. I bet OP has played Tsukihime dozens of times.

>>1944665
I prefer to save the best for last.

>>1944665

>That way you know whether or not to go any further soon on then have to deal with all the shit up front and give up before you even get to the good ones

>impling arcueid is a good character/route

>>1944688

obvious troll sure is obvious

>>1944688
You somehow managed to get the exact opposite implication of what he said.

>>1944693

That's because he's a retarded troll. Please forgive him, for he doesn't know any better. When he was very young, his mother dropped him on his head, and ever since then he's been like this.

I am sorry for allowing him to post past his bedtime.

Nothing was really wrong with arc, sure it was a bit generic, but it's a great "starter route". Same with Fate in Fate/Stay Night.

>>1944654
In visual novels I usually put off the worst character (in this case Ciel) until the end, and I generally start with the character who I initially like the best.

>>1944702
Ya, but Ciel route is basically just Arc route minus the boring with an added bonus of action. Only thing you'll miss is the sex scene.(You get a funnier one in it's place, you only read Nasu porn for laughs anyways.)

>>1944702
Why the hell would anyone put off the worst for last? How do you get the motivation to actually finish the thing?

I played it Arc - Ciel - Akiha - Hisui - Kohaku and enjoyed it all the way through plus there weren't any points where something didn't make sense. I'm pretty sure this was the order the game was intended to be played in.

1. Arc
2. Ciel
3. Akiha
4. Hisui
5. Kohaku

>>1944778
>Why the hell would anyone put off the worst for last? How do you get the motivation to actually finish the thing?
I still like the routes of my least favorite characters, and in fact after playing through the route I usually end up liking the heroine at least a little bit. I have yet to play a visual novel with some good routes and some bad routes, usually the whole thing is either good or bad.

>>1944842
I'm the same way, but I still don't see why you would save your least favorite heroines for last. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

>>1944842
you, sir, think like I do

>>1944854
Yeah, I've never been a "save the best for last" kind of guy. I also think that I would feel bad if I ignored the girl I liked the most until the very end and played the other girls' routes first.

>>1944794
This was the intended ending, and still the best.
If anything, it's useful to end the game with a good note. Id Est: SUNFLOWERS

>>1944757
I actually fapped to that scene... should I feel bad?

>>1945460
Nope. I did too.

I never even played Ciel's route. Am I missing anything?

>>1945489
Shit

When I first played, I played Ciel first.

Instead of Kohaku being the last route I played, it was Arc.

Shit was weird.

when you play tsukihime, you have to be careful not o develop a shellfish fetish.

>>1945520
I keep hearing about this, but I didn't see any mention of shellfish during the sex. Is it an 'everyone but Ciel' thing, or what?

>>1945525
Actually, that's from Kagetsu Tohya.
