------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seasons of the Sakura Complete FAQ/Walkthrough by YuSaKu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This game is fairly ancient, so the requirements won't be much, but you MUST USE A DOS-BASED OS. XP WILL NOT WORK. System Requirements: WIN95/98/ME, and 16MB RAM This is an MS-DOS game, so it's best if you boot to DOS mode before playing. The game should run inside Windows, but it's iffy. The game might seem to freeze up, but if you press ENTER or click on the left mouse button, you can quit and try to load it again. You can tell that the game is running properly if the blossoms float freely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you really enjoy this guide, please visit the Gamefaqs Contribution rating page (http://www.gamefaqs.com/contribute/contrib_ratings.php) and give me a few good reviews. I appreciate it in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE NEWEST VERSION OF MY FAQS at: http://www.text-heaven.com/faqs.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contents: i. Game Description I. The Controls II. Character Bios III. Love Points IV. Endings V. Extras VI. Locations VII. Contact Info NOTE: This H-Game is intended for Mature Audiences ONLY!!! It includes a LOT of f'ing, (mostly involving underage girls). It also contains a hefty ammount of hardcore, uncensored, ALL-OUT f'�ng, so if this offends you, or you are not old enough to be looking at a girl's wet, juicy cunt, then go away. Go on, shoo. AND PUT THAT THING AWAY, you'll go blind. ;) If you're still reading this, that means you're a sick-ass pervert like the rest of us. Welcome brothers!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- i. Game Description It's April. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, exploding with beautiful shades of pink and red and white, like they do every year. Their fleeting existence will end soon enough, but for now the Season of the Sakura has come again to Japan. I turn to her, standing at my side, and speak. "The sakura were in bloom the day we first met. Do you remember?" She smiles at me. I know that she is happy. I look up at the sakura once more, and speak again... "That's right. That was the beginning of it all..." A classic bishoujo game, the smash hit Season of the Sakura is a great game on many levels. A year-long simulation in which you interact with eight beautiful girls, exploring many game paths as you try to win the hearts of each girl, Season of the Sakura is also great for fans of 90's anime because it's a parody and tribute to shows like Evangelion, Magical Knight Rayearth and St. Tail, and the game is filled with themes from these shows. One of the most deep and romantic story-based games to be translated to English, we know you'll love Season of the Sakura! I feel the need to impress this upon you early. SotS is part of a group of H-Games (Along with 3 Sisters, True Love, ect.) that are a lot different than most. You simply can't run around humping every girl in sight, you have to make a choice and stick with it early on. If you want rampant sexwith little/no story, Google "Sexy Beach .torrent" and see what you come up with. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. The Controls The controls to SOTS are pretty much straight-forward: Enter/Return key: Select a action Arrow keys: Moving through the actions Escape key/Right mouse click: Cancel action/Save and/or Load the game save NOTE: The mouse works in this game also. It allows you to navigate, but the keyboard works much better. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

In order to get H-Scenes (And an ending with the girl you desire), you have to work for it. Any decision you make has a bearing on the love points of all the girls, so if you are persuing more than one, you may inadvertantly ruin your chances with one by choosing another. Besides getting sex, Love points also determine what scenes you get with which girls. A prime example is Christmas. There are three main places to gather love points towards the ending of your choice. The first place is the trip to the Summer Camp. The first person you write to is the girl you want to gather the most love points with. DO NOT CHOOSE Reiko, Mio, Kiyomi, or Shoko. They are already in love with you at this point. Aki is an excemption too. The second place is the school dance. Again, stay away from the girls already in love with you, but this time you can choose Aki, if you want to get her ending. The third and final spot for love points is the Christmas gift event. If you have gathered love points for Meimi or Seia, then the only person who is willing to accept your gift will be Meimi (this is an ending). If you want to get a different ending, choose someone else. Simply Put, Love Points equal love. Keep experimenting and you may be able to get more than four girls veing for your love on Valentines Day. One last thing: If, somehow, you fuck up a decision and lose the girl you are persuing, there may still be a chance to get an ending. Some of these girls are so easy that you can spend half the game (Or more) chasing someone else and STILL have time to get them. Four girls are innocents, who must be "courted" (Ruri, Reiko, Meimi, and Seia) The other four are the easy ones (Aki, Kiyomi, Mio, and Shoko) I have made notes on second chances and lost causes below. Here's a breakdown of points gathering for each character: Aki * Second-easiest girl to nail. * If Aki shows up with your boat during the summer sea trip, you're on the right track. * During Sports Day, CONTINUE the pace instead of GOING FASTER, and then take the blame. * Before the school dance when talking to the girls, follow Aki outside. * Giving her the Christmas gift is not necessary, nor is taking her to the dance. * Choose her at the end. * Game ends on White Day (March 14). * Possible to lose the game at the end (Aki and Makoto will get together). Kiyomi * Choose her for the dance * Give her Christmas gift * Choose her in the end * Kiyomi's ending is funny * Game ends on White Day (March 14) Meimi * Talk to her at the river. * Talk to Meiko at the beach in the summer sea trip. * Choose her for the dance. * Give her Christmas gift. * Game ends on Christmas. * Possible to continue game if you don't/can't get her, but it will be impossible to get Seia or Ruri. Mio * Choose her for the dance * Give her Christmas gift * Choose her in the end * Game ends on White Day (March 14) Reiko * Choose her for the dance * Give her Christmas gift * Choose her in the end * Game ends on White Day (March 14) Ruri * You have to do everything perfectly, as she is the most difficult girl to nail, and she doesn't have very many places to gather points for her. * Write Ruri's name first on the camping trip list (In order to get her in the cave). * ASK her about her FAMILY repeatedly, and about GOD repeatedly while at the cliff. * Save Ruri during the camping trip right away. * If Ruri shows up with your boat during summer sea trip, you're on the right track. * When she asks you if you care about what people about you, say YES. * Choose her for the dance (if she says no, you have to start the game over again). * Give her the Christmas gift. * After the incident at the Hot Springs, Ruri will be taking care of you. * Decide to CHASE HER after the incident at the Hot Springs. * Game ends near the end of the Hot Springs trip. * It is possible to continue the game if you choose not to go after her, but it will be impossible to get Seia or Meimi. Seia * Talk to Seia on the beach during the summer sea trip, TELL TRUTH. * After first day of sports practice when Seia and Meiko talk to you, CONSIDER taking Seia home and TAKE HOME, SEIA (game will default to Meiko if you didn't walk with Seia on the beach). * Choose her for the dance. * Give her Christmas gift. * Game ends on Christmas. * Possible to continue game if you don't/can't get her, but it will be impossible to get Meimi or Ruri. Shoko * Easiest to get (she's a slut and throws herself at you!) * Game ends just before last day of practice for Sports Festival ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. Endings This section contains details about all the endings. A. Reiko Sawamura Getting Reiko's ending is simply a breeze (if you stayed away from Ruri, Shoko, Meimi, and Seia). B. Kiyomi Shinfuji Kiyomi is the same as Reiko and Mio. Stay away from the girls you must "court" in order to see their endings. C. Mio Suzuki See Kiyomi and Reiko. D. Shoko Nishino Shoko's ending isn't very challenging to get. When you are practicing for the Sports festival Shoko will come over to your house and plead for you to stop practicing Soccer. Accept, and then Accept again, and Shoko will leave little to your imagination. E. Ruri Shiromizu Ruri requires a little more love points than usual. When she shows up at the water bank, talk to her. DO NOT TALK TO MEIMI THE NEXT DAY! When you are at camp and worry about Ruri, search and talk to her. When Ruri falls down the cliff SAVE HER! During the sports festival she will ask you if you are trying to make everyone like you say YES. During the culture festival DANCE WITH HER. Now when you have to give a gift to one of the girls try Ruri first. I can't say exactly what happens so if it doesn't work give it to one of the girls that are already in love with you. DON'T GIVE IT TO Meimi or Seia. If she does invite you to her house you're doing something right and she'll complain about not having anything for you. Now the final step is to chase her when she leaves for the train station to go back to her mother. She'll curse her love for you at first but then give in, spill the beans, and lose her clothes. F. Aki Hinagiku Aki's ending is much more simple to get than Ruri's. During the three-legged race keep up with her pace. When Mio and the others talk to you a few days later, look around till you see her outside the window. You say to yourself she wants to talk about something. Tell the girls you need to use the bathroom and go and talk to Aki. CONSOLE HER GODDAMN YOU! Later during the dance choose Aki. Give her the Christmas gift and stay away from the others until Valentines day. Now simply choose Aki as your true love. Aki reveals she doesn't just love playing with tennis balls... G. Seia Yoshida Seia's ending is tricky at best. You can chose her first during the Summer Camp Trip but that makes little diffrence. The main spot to gather Love Points for Seia is during the Summer Sea Trip. During the trip after the cancelled swim competition you should be on the beach at night. Here you must think about ONLY SEIA and then LOOK at the beach. Seia should be there. Talk to her and TELL HER THE TRUTH. She then tells you about her love for the Catholic church near her house and how she wants to be a nun. Now all that is left is to stay away from the other girls, Dance with Seia, and Give her the Christmas gift. You'll be invited to the church where Seia already has plans for you. Being impatient you jump the gun and Seia tells you to be gentle next time. (Sex in church=5 Hail Marys and 4 Our Father's? Can someone clarify, I'm a Pegan :x) H. Meimi Nakano Meimi is not a love points ending. When you see her along the river bank alone TALK TO HER. Choose her first for Summer Camp. Dance with her, and Give her the Christmas gift. What's this? You love me Meimi!? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- V. Extra Stuff This is Miscellaneous Stuff About This Game, little tidbits of info. These are some extra scenes and characters that may or may not effect the endings that you can see. A. Kyoko Kobayashi (Your Sensei) Kyoko teaches you the art of love. Who could say no to hawt lurve? B. Shinji Shinfuji Kiyomi's little brother. C. The Cave Scene Talk to Reiko and Ruri in the cave. D. MOM-DAD Emi and Nobuyuki are your parents. They are sick fucks. E. Makoto Shimazaki Your best friend. If you don't get Aki, he does. Looks like Kensuke Aida from Evangellion. Little tidbits of info. * Ruri is the hidden gem in this game, since she's so difficult to get. * Points for Aki and Ruri are opposite each other (I.E. It may be impossible to get Aki at the end if you went for and did not get Ruri). * Rin Watanabe from Runaway City Makes a cameo appearance (The 'Virtual Ninja' queen). She kicks your ass in the Arcade. * All of the characters are based on anime characters from popular series like Magic Knights Rayearth, Evangelion, Pia Carrot, and Saint Tail. * You can�t Avoid Kyoko-Sensei�s �Lesson�. Why would you want to anyway? * Kyoko-Sensei looks Like Evangellion�s Misato Katsuragi. * This has been explained to death, but I'll have a go anyway. Notice how Mio�s Swimsuit Says 3-A and not 1-E? The reason is due to the fact that in the original game, the real ages and grade levels of the characters are contrastically different. JAST USA had to do more than a few rewrites so that the characters all appear to be above the age of eighteen, since US law prohibits any depiction of sexual acts performed on, or between minors. However, Japan doesn't have any such laws, hence the genre of manga and graphic novels known as Rorikon. In any case, in the original Japanese game, Shuji is a 16-year-old senior high school freshman, Mio and Aki are both 15-year old junior high students, and Meimi, Seia, Ruri, and Kiyomi are 16-year old senior high students like Shuji. Only Shoko and Reiko are actually 18. In Japan, the school system is comprised of three years of junior high and three years of senior high. Since Mio and Aki are both supposedly third year junior high students in the original, JAST USA overlooked this detail in their translation and grouped everyone into the same school. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI.
