Yep. Sorry, I was on ST2 timeline. ^_^;; That means Sakura and Kohran
are 18, not 16 in my original post.

I've always thought Iris would make a wonderful little sister/daughter. ^^;;

Well, personally, I like Iris' dream about growing up in ST. And if
Iris' mom is any indication of what she'll grow up to be, all I can say
is that Iris' mom can make a person blush. ^^;;
I'm kinda curious as to what anti-Iris supporters think of Iris' mom (for
those who've played ST2). I assume you would have no problems dating her
(assuming she's single)? For those who haven't seen her, perhaps I can
scan a pic.
And as for me, I find "dating" any of the characters unrealistic. I've
never thought of ST as a "dating" sim although I admit it is an element.
I'm more interested in the art, story, and puns. To me, it teaches me a
lot about Japanese culture and language. Like in the Steam Radio Show, I
was fascinated when my current roomie explained to me a bit about the
waka (sp?).
