Let's start with... Yuka first. Okay, right from the beginning I have seen Tallulah portration of Yuka totally in-canon. Like seriously, even if novel Yuka has hardly given any background apart that she's the class clown it totally fits with her of what she would be like alone. I see Yuka out of this version one of the most nearest to canon and I think Tallulah should get herself a jolly pat on the back with doing that without having much info on Yuka. <3
Let's go over my likes then. I basically explained most of them above but if I have to pick out individual details then I say firstly the thought process of Yuka. Very unique out of the class and yet it works so well which that's what I think makes Yuka so canon. So is the dialogue which even though it stays the same throughout the version it changes in the meaning of it like the mood of what Yuka becomes. She first starts off trying to be herself so she dosen't get scared but eventually when it gets to Shuuya she's totally distressed and becoming panicked and I think it's realistic of her behaviour.
Interaction has been great - Yutaka, Megumi and Shuuya being my most favourites. The one with Shuuya is the one that really made me from really liking Yuka to loving her. This is the point with the whole Megumi/Shuuya episode when Yuka's becoming a noticeable character rather then before staying in the background and nothing much exciting happening. The depth put into it is great and Tallulah improves this with her great writing ability that keeps me drawn in and not distracted from what's actually going on(which I now properly see how Yuka deserved to win with the ftd with Megumi ^^).
My minimal dislikes I have to say would be, again, not at first being noticeable but don't think that's a issue now. However it was from that point before I find certain topics hard to remember like what Yuka did exactly and what was her reaction to the rest of her friends dying unless I went back and read it. I think a bit more description here and there would be nice and some more flashbacks to do with school/family but it's not major.
Shuuya... Oh dear, do I really have to say? XD |D
I got too many likes to put it all down but in short is the amazing in-depth characterisation (both in-game and out), the superb writing ability and just the dedication put into him. Interaction fantastic, especially with Shinji, Yoshi, Yuka and Megumi (;___;). He's been my favourite right from the start and I got bets that Gabby got the chance of winning this version. I don't think there's been a point when I would say I disliked him or something seems too ooc because something new is always put in or improved which Gabby really takes note of this from the feedback.
If I have to say anything then I guess that although Shuuya seems much more like the novel version rather then the manga one there are points where he slips between the two. More noticeably for me lately is the swearing as I don't think he does that much really in the novel (have to check) but that's no biggy, just only thing I can think for critique. XD |D
But yeah, I have found this really hard to actually choose for one to sadly die because they both brilliant in writing ability and characterisation and deserved to get this far, plus great to roleplay with but can only be one so for me is Shuuya. Think only reason is because he has been my favourite from the beginning due to everything I said while Yuka really just become in my top favourites too. Your both great writers and wish you both best of luck! <3
