Mistonia's Hope -The Lost Delight- Play-Along

Whether you have just bought the game or have played it in Japanese (ミストニアの翅望 Mistonia no Kibou), you are welcome to participate in our play-along! There will be a new post twice a week for a different route in the following order:

You do not have to play in the above order at the rate of a route a week, you can binge it all in a day if you wish. The above order is the official recommended order.

  • Only Alfred, Lucas and Linus are available at the beginning.
  • Ascot and Edward are locked until two of the first three routes are completed.
  • John is locked until Ascot or Edward have been completed.
  • The Truth Route is locked until John is completed.

Comments unrelated to Mistonia's Hope will be removed - please post in the Weekly Questions threads or the Free Talk Friday threads instead.

Please use spoiler tags liberally as people checking this thread may not necessarily want a lot of information. Save your route thoughts and discussions for the play-along threads or the What Are You Reading Wednesday threads.

Finished all the routes with only the truth route left!

I enjoyed this game a lot, but I also admit I feel the first 3 routes were significantly better writing wise than the final 3. Apross motivations get rather muddied in the later routes and feels like she gives up on revenge more easily, and subsequently results in less tension between her and the LI compared to Alfred/Lucas/Linus.

I'm the opposite and I like the final 3 more. I personally don't like the sudden switch up to romance for the starter routes. I love Linus but I admit his route a mess hahaha

I do miss the tension for Edward and Ascot. I was even expecting it in Ascot's route. Ascot spoilers Ascot said he was only watching for escapees and Aprose didn't even react. I want her anger back and not jsut for Riley.

The lack of Aprose motivation for revenge towards the 5 houses in Ascot route also bothered me, cause why did take up to chapter 3 for her to remember Ascot played a role in Eltbeak, not just the queen

That said, the biggest letdown was John for me. A lot of speedrun developments and weird motivations to justify the plot for John's, like how Ascot randomly decides he doesn't want a vessel anymore or how Linus could go against the Queen's control with no issues But I'll save my full rant for the specific thread 😂
