I just got done playing Ace Academy for the first time. I tried to make too much friendship stuff between the friends in game so I ended up with no one. However it's a great visual novel with some stiff voice acting a times. It'd almost better if the ending was properly done but given they apparently had only limited resources to work with it's very respectable.In the ending I got I more or less got shoved off and left on cliff hanger. I'd definitely recommend it despite this. Anyone who plays it though remember if you want to romance one of the characters in game you'll need to stick with it for a bit. In my play through I tried to stick with some characters, and occasionally mix it up with the others for a more 'realistic' dynamic between friends. Ended up getting the best friend a girl friend instead lol but it was for the best as it makes better sense in story terms.
