I'm fine with what most of what you guys are saying, and don't necessarily disagree with most of it. I think it could've done a better job with a more nuanced portrayal, though. The bad guys certainly did bad things to achieve their ends, but I think it would've been nice to have the good guys try to find a good alternative solution of their own. Though I do respect the game for proving the bad guys "right" in a way - Crossbell is conquered and put in a poor position as soon as Lloyd and co. defeat their enemies.
They weren't exactly given a chance because Bell pushed KeA over the edge and then she tried to erase herself as soon as the party set her free. Again, regardless of what you think should have been done, I don't think Lloyd is the one to blame here. He was the only one actually concerned about what effect it would have on KeA.
And I don't think it's a "the bad guys were right" situation here. The SSS all knew that they were going to face retaliation from Erebonia and Calvard once all this was over. It was not a surprise to them. They just weren't going to let that stop them, and they were determined to overcome that barrier, too. If anything, it gives me more respect that they didn't just take the easy way out!
if anything this game helped me to better understand why the SOS Brigade doesn't want Haruhi to find out about her powers...!
