I replayed the demo and honestly, I didn't expect to have new encounters. For some reason, there are two LIs unlocked that were never there on my first runs (that happened last year). I don't recall any decisions with a heart icon, but I'm assuming it was because of my moral alignment (went for pure altruistic)? I'm pleasantly surprised coz I loved the new encounters in the end of the demo.
I can't wait to see more of this!
The alignment doesn't lock you off any route, only your LI choices do: I thought it would be fun to try locked romance routes, but as to not be too containing there are 2 Love Triangles present, so you can initiate the romance with 2 LIs (during chapter 1 and 2), and decide on one later in-game without replaying. The only RO who is locked if you initiate romance with any other LI is Saltire, so if you're going for them, you might want not to pick any option with a heart icon for other characters in chapter 1. Aside from that, some choices and alignments will give you different scenes during the game, so hopefully replaying will be interesting as well.
I hope you'll enjoy the future updates! Thanks for playing!
