Axl12: You have a PM. I provided tips and a pretty explicit solution. The tips are more or less just an accumulation of the hints that have already been mentioned in the thread, but I'll post them here under a spoiler block: I won't post the explicit solution here, but if there's anyone else who's fed up with tips and just wants a solution, if you ask me nicely in a PM like Axl12 did, I'll probably be understanding.

Thank you! Also, heh, it's interesting that you enjoyed that mix: some people really didn't, thinking the mixture of styles breaks immersion, and I'd be inclined to agree. Still, I'm glad you like it

I'm pretty certain I know where the important choice is made, at least it seemed to be right right one after I made it. I made all other choices as I did my first run through but ended up getting the bad "ends up with noone" ending, despite the main character and Yukira having that post bandit talk about how she's going to be transferred.

Assuming I'm right about the decision that enables the ending, are there any seemingly neutral choices I may have made that spoiled things?

Hmm, I'm a little surprised that you could have that post-bandit conversation and still get Ending 8; it's a while since I looked at the precise conditions in the code, but you must have been exceedingly close.

As I mentioned in my spoiler-block above: It's still perfectly possible to get any of the 8 endings playing with combats turned off, although if you play with the minigame you have the theoretical potential to get slightly more points than in narration mode. It should only be really likely to make a difference going for Tohko's or Asilana's best endings, though, and even they are perfectly reachable in narration mode.

But I have been told that the best option in combat may not be what people initially thought most likely to please Yurika in particular. So if you're getting nowhere, try varying what you do in the combat narration and see if that changes things.

I have a confession to make. I have played this game for nearly and year and I have failed to get anything but the bad end on every single play through. *sigh* And so I declare Elven Relations the most bitterly realistic portrayal of real life romances ever made. Tohko seriously rejects me every single time, no matter what I do!

I might surrender and go for Asilana, since she seems far less likely to reject me. But alas, that would be surrendering for the easy path instead of keeping my loyalty to the childhood friend!

Just in case, I'll spoiler it, but it's just a vague suggestion (especially since I don't remember the exact choices needed anymore) :

She's a tsundere, how do you think you get in a relationship with the tsundere?

What are you talking about... lol

Okay. If you're getting Ending 8, then you need to focus on one girl. There's no harem ending in Elven Relations.

Remember to always defend the girl you want to get, whenever you get the chance, and remember their personality.

Yurika likes you to act maturely and work as a team with everyone, though talk with her whenever you get the chance. Oh, and don't be shy about asking Tohko for help with the river, Yurika approves of you doing that.

As for Yurika, what you want to do for her best ending is...

I finally beat it!! ^^ Yes!

I have just finished Elven relations.
At first I thought that it will be just a nice way to kill some free time in the afternoon. But I was wrong. I just wasn't able to stop after Asilana's good ending. And it was a good idea because her best ending really finishes her route. She is my favorite character. But Tohko's route was awesome too. And it was quite difficult to get Yurika's best ending. It took me about 2 hours to find all the choices I had to make. But it was worth it.
I'll surely check your other projects and I'm waiting for Elven Relations 2.
I am extremely grateful to you for creating this game.

I played through this game at some point, but I dunno which version I played, and I dunno if any substantial changes have been made since then that would warrant redownloading...

Ah, wait. I believe I downloaded from the Ren'Ai Archive, so it'd be whatever version was uploaded to that (unless the archive gets updated? - does it?). Anyone know the answer to my questions?

In any case, an excellent game.

i got ending #1

FINALLY

now all i need is tohko's best ending and im done wowhow

Thanks for playing, hikari-chan, HeavensInnocence!

Unless you played in the first month it was released (April 2007), you'll have played the effectively final version. The version released on 4th May 2007 is basically the same as the latest release, except for a couple of bugs that could have caused the game to crash. So if you played a version with the combat engine, then there's no substantial changes since then.

The Ren'Ai Archive does sometimes get updated, and it looks like they have version 1.1. The versions since there have fixes for a couple of obscure bugs, but no new content.

Thank you!

please just call me DJ.

damn it i cant get tohko's best ending and ive been working on tht for five hours

Hi, there!

I downloaded Elven Relations some weeks ago, but only got around to actually play this game yesterday. I got Alisana's good ending on the first try, and have been trying to get her best ending since then, a half-dozen times at least. I guess I could try for another girl, but it really bugs me that I can't get any better than 'good', even with the help I discovered here.

Songroom / Choosing to drink or not: minor effect
Songroom / What you think: major effect
Asilana questions / choosing to ask about Asilana and her family: major effect

Party / dancing with her again: major effect
Party / making the right choices once you've danced: very major effect
Elfways / talking to her: minor effect
Stile / who you help down: minor effect
Village / who she rides with: very minor effect

Songroom: I take the drink, and answer that this is fascinating
Asilana questions: I tried both; asking her about herself (to get to know her more), and not asking about her (since the questions seem to make her uncomfortable)
Banquet: I tried to sit next to her, and to sit next to the Caller
Party: I dance with her first, talk to everyone else, dance with her again, and then tried again both choices; following elven, and defying traditions
Elfways: I talk to her, and during the (narrated) combat, make it my priority to defend her.
Stile: I help her down (but Yukari not), and during combat make it again my priority to defend her.
Village: she rides automatically on my horse

I tried various combinations, but my choices always seem to amount to the good ending; never the best, but never the bad ending, either. I'm pretty sure I'm overlooking something, but I'm somewhat at my wit's end. So, some additional hints would be very much appreciated.

@Kelenas:

It's the drink in the songroom that I accept, the one offered by Asilana. The one during the banquet I decline; I figured getting drunk wouldn't be the way to make a good impression.
