Little Busters! Ecstasy Plot Questions

[Sieg]

So, can anyone tell me just what it is that happens in the three new main plot lines? I am really interested in Saya's, but the others seem good too. Thanks!

[Asceai]

Uh... how spoilery do you want the information? Because I really think you'd be better off just playing the game.

Or are you considering whether or not to buy it?

[Sieg]

I'd like the info as spoilery as possible. I plan to get the game, but I'd like to know anyway, especially since I don't have any good translation equipment.

Well, I'm bored enough. Note that for Saya's and especially Sasami's routes, you must have read Refrain to be able to understand parts of the story. ROT13'd for obvious reasons. I also might have gotten some things wrong. Who knows.

Wow, thanks for the help. Saya's was even more deep than I expected! So, do these happen after Refrain or so? Because I always thought Refrain made the best canon ending so to speak.

Timeline-wise, both Kanata's and Saya's stories happen before the events of Refrain happen. Sasami's happens afterwards and make direct references to what occured. It's probably still okay to keep thinking of Refrain as the canon ending, in any case.

[EusthEnoptEron]

I just played through Saya's route and am now pretty confused. Probably because of errors in my translation. I would be glad, if someone could tell me, what I got wrong:

Hopefully you have read Refrain, because if you haven't, then this might not make much sense. And if you haven't read Refrain yet, stop reading now and go read it.

Seriously. Stop now.

Thank you very much for the answer.
Since you warned me not to read it, before I played Refrain, I guess I have no other choice, but to go through the other routes & Refrain as well.

If I can hold back my curiosity, that is. But I think it's the least I can do to respect Key's work.

Not a plot-related question, but there wouldn't happen to be a way to skip over just the text that's in the first game, would there? .-. (Aside from the ctrl button, I mean.)

According to the user manual, there is a prompt when you hit new game to skip all the old stuff. Since I haven't opened and installed the actual game yet, I am not sure how exactly this works but I am pretty sure I read that much right XP

If you don't read Japanese, look at page 5 of the user manual and when your screen matches the last screenshot on that page click the leftmost option. As a corollary, if you haven't played LB! click the rightmost option.

The prompt is "Do you know the world's secret?" Clicking yes, activates the flag saying that you've played through and viewed refrain. This does not mark any text as read, so yes, you have to play through... but it does however make the new character's arcs available as well as opening up the second endings for some characters like Yuiko, and the second refrain outcome.

But again, clicking yes and activating the flag will change the game, so It's highly recommended not to unless you've played the original. it's pretty much only there for those who have.

Does it unlock CG/Music/etc that were in the previous version?
