[@chi_chi_real_smooth6494]

@Clippy True but I enjoy that there is more Eva content even if it can be cringe at times. I would personally change it so the characters ack more like what they did in the show and be somewhat realistic but that would make it kind of depressing, but for Mana... she does come off way to strong onto Shinji but this is a dating sim sooo

[@jinxthatsme2317]

@Clippy I was looking at EVA related stuff on Google and came across an image of the character, Mana Kirishima. I had no clue who she was and thought I had missed an episode of the show. Lol. I had no clue EVA had a game series. It’s really cool to see how it manages to keep a similar tone to the show’s more filler episodes. It honestly makes me wish we did get more episodes. Sure we have the Rebuilds which still aren’t finished, but they just hold a candle to the original TV series.

[@chi_chi_real_smooth6494]

@@jinxthatsme2317 Ya, I've seen stuff from this game too before and thought it was just fan art lol and yes the Rebuilds are indeed different from the main show and that is intentional. I prefer the main show and EoE but the rebuilds are always a charm to watch.

Red flags don't stop coming ~~In the same day they first met, Mana: 4:45 - In their first *_ever_* conversation, says she came to this school and got dressed that day to meet him 7:45 - Having talked Shinji for only a couple minutes, literally stalks him to NERV (and skips her first day at school, lol) (Asuka's comment shows she's the only sane person on this VN) 8:20 - Then gropes him 9:50 - Keep staring at him while he undresses, after Shinji asked her not to ~~Fourth day: 31:20 - That sudden voice change. Is she...? ⊙__⊙ 32:20 - She does it AGAIN? I remember NERV had were people watching over Shinji to prevent this type of stuff 39:15 - Mana plots to murder Shinji Before watching I read some comments saying that Mana "was coming too strong on Shinji". You guys have to be kidding. This is stalker-level obsession. And please don't give me the "it's a dating sim" Sabbat of the Witch and Katawa Shoujo are EROGES and are nowhere near as ridiculous. Other notable moments: 12:15~12:40 - Cringefest 17:15 - Kaji displays his teleportation skills 18:30~20:40 - Wholesome moments of people at NERV casually being nice to Shinji for no reason 20:15 - Advertisement (in a dating sim...?) 24:26 - Kensuke showing just how stupid Shinji is, while at the same time simping after Asuka 27:55 and 32:50 - Misato gives worst advice ever (makes sense in-character since Kaji) 29:39 - Shinji roasts Gendo 30:20 - Wholesome moment of girls at school (i.e. Hikari) casually being nice to Shinji for no reason 31:58 - chillin in muh robot 34:03 - Shinji... 37:06~38:25 - More of people being nice to Shinji 39:35 - Very sad but in-character.

[@s3c0nd1mpact]

The waifu we needed but not the one we deserve. Even if she was a spy and had a boyfriend she felt more realistic than Mari who just shows up, had no chemistry with Shinji other than making him feel awkward and (spoilers) randomly ends up with him in 3+1. In a weird sense Mari is the embodies of Evangelion fans, a girl who wants the fun of piloting an eva but not all the depressing side effects lol.

[@elgusaniiiodeljuego6823]

Mari is the Poochie of ROE. She's nice and all but she's just too unrealistically perfect and never really fits in the story. I wonder if she's just a product of Shinji's imagination to cope with all the sht happening around him.

How did you manage to run it? I have look far and beyond how to do so, but I have been unsuccessful.

[@BEYONDELECTRICSHEEP]

The non-Special Edition releases should work on any version of Windows without any modifications. The Special Edition uses SecuROM DRM - Microsoft released an auto-update a few years ago for every version of Windows from Vista onwards that completely broke everything that used SecuROM (basically non-pirated physical versions of most major PC games from like 2003 to 2009ish), so you'll either have to run it in a Windows XP Virtual Machine or try to re-enable the part of the OS that the DRM uses manually via Command Prompt (I tried this and it didn't work).

[@TheOneBeatleManiac]

​@@BEYONDELECTRICSHEEP , it's a shame that the Special Edition cannot run anymore. I tried to do the Command Prompt thing as well, and also didn't work. So it seems that I'll have to find the original version. Any idea where I could look for it (if you can write about it of course)?

[@mattf.868]

There was a version that worked with WIN 10, no problems, but when I went back to the megalink i got it from, the link was dead. Aside from that the game is impossible to find (there might be something on the internet archive)

[@Silanda]

FWIW. I've got the special edition up and running on Windows 10. Download this: community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/1154-safediscforwin10zip/ Then follow the instructions from this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOWkIJ9ecR0m7M AFAIK, that is the version of secdrv.sys that comes with Windows 7. You might need to merge the registry file included in that zip into your Windows registry. I did but I'm not 100% certain whether it's necessary or not. Also, when you disable driver signature enforcement it lasts for one full boot. This means that if you use fast start-up it will persist until you do a full shutdown or restart. It's worth remembering that you're disabling a security feature to do this and that the Safedisc driver was disabled in the first place because of a security flaw. This risk is pretty minimal if you're careful, but I would only have the enforcement disabled and the driver enabled when you need to play a game.

[@Silanda]

I'll just add though that this is only true of the English patch, which removes the disc check although sadly not Safedisc itself. If I try to run a clean install of the game it complains about disc emulation software, even when Daemon Tools was completely uninstalled.

[@zionthedragon8866]

@@Jetix34 Rei isn't emotional-less. She is a kuudere. Plus she does slowly develop emotions over time. Especially in the alternate universe manga. Also the redheaded "b*tch" has mental problems and some anger issues, but it's because of her past, and she DOES later become less agro towards him. This new girl mana, MINUS in the manga, Is unrealistic, overly optimistic and idealistic instead of relaistic, and too perky it can be annoying, and almost as bad as the "emotionalless" girl, I mean she has A emotion, but it's ONLY that emotion, while rei does show a few other emotions, albeit really watered down versions of them. This same problem with a "overly perky brown haired girl replacing the red haired girl who stands up from herself, while the male gets turned even less ballsy" trope, is a problem I noticed when things get remade to appease seemingly both sjw/tumblr/twitter/PC culture, as well as east (mainly China's (I dunno if still current thing they do)) culture with the perfect women for a stressed out dude. Don't get me wrong, NOT saying this is the case with why this made like this, NOR saying mana herself is bad, just feels a little forced. The manga slice of life version of Mana has to be the BEST version of her, as she is more than that one emotion, as she has can be negative, albeit not physical like the other two, which I admit is a great change of pace from the others.
