Absolute Obedience Walkthrough

cmbranfordThe following walkthrough is drawn from the English release of the game and contains minimal spoilers.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make my walkthroughs better or if someone has an additional path to the S ending for this game that works.
Notes:
You do NOT need to get the A rank on any mission or S endings to acquire any of the D endings. You just need to follow the correct path of each Request. The only exception is the D ending for Kia Request 2: Ashraf, in which you need to complete an additional requirement to obtain (as explained below).
The C ending is obtained by making any bad choice during each Request. There are some CGs/Events that require you to make specific incorrect choices to acquire. I recommend going back later and selecting each of the C ending bad choices to acquire them all. You can also get more of each Request's storyline this way.
I'm not sure why this is, but some Requests lose some of their options at some points. This may be related to the order Requests are fulfilled in and/or rankings received in each Request as it is completed. For example, the option to receive a D ending in Kia 3: Dirk was lost for me after I had both acquired all endings for all Requests and specifically received A rankings for several Requests prior to playing this one (not sure which ended up being the deciding factor since both were the case at the time I noticed this). I'm leaning towards the idea that it is related to acquiring A ranks in other Requests as evident in the need to receive a D rank in the first two Requests in order to unlock the D ending for Kia 2: Ashraf (see below).
On Request expirations. I'm not sure what specifically causes Requests to expire. I had originally believed it was just a matter of completing them out of order (as in, if Request 5 of a character was completed before Request 4, Request 4 would always expire), but this does not seem to be the case since I have seen one or no Requests expire when I've completed a particular Request first, but if I complete that same Request at a later time it will sometimes expire more than originally observed. I then thought it was the number of completed Requests that determined when a Request would expire (as in if Request 5 was not completed by the time you completed 3 Requests it would expire), but this also does not seem to be quite the case, since a number of Requests will expire after the very first Request completed in some cases (see below). It may very well be a combination of both factors, which is rather inconvenient for planning a route that includes all 12 Requests. I also haven't considered whether the rank received on a Request has anything to do with the order (though I doubt it does).
I did not include the details of any requests or the ending. Since there are so many divergent paths I thought it would be not only tedious to explain them all, but would not do the game justice to only describe the A endings, not to mention the fact that I would hate to spoil anything for anyone.

I did not plot a path myself for fulfilling all 12 Requests with A endings to acquire the S endings. I did test out a number of the paths I came across while playing to see if they would work.
Order based on the order of Requests in the CG and Events lists:
1: Kia 6: Eduard
2: Kia 5: Jens
3: Louise 5: Ferdinand
4: Kia 3: Dirk
5: Louise 3: Werner
6: Louise 2: Zhores
7: Kia 4: Timo
8: Louise 4: Anel
9: Kia 1: Silvio
10: Louise 1: Lawless
11: Louise 6: Hagen
12: Kia 2: Ashraf
13: Kia Ex.
14: Louise Ex.
*Requests do not expire in this order! For example, Kia 2: Ashraf and Kia 3: Dirk will expire each other when completed as the fourth Request in this order.
Order based on a bad Google translation of a Japanese walkthrough (http://mariaelga.easter.ne.jp/0504game/zepukutop.htm):

Based on Aarin Fantasy walkthrough (http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11037):

*This order works.
The general guidelines for acquiring A ranks in all Requests and the S ending seem to be:
Complete one Request for each character first that does not expire any other Requests (Kia 5 and 6, Louise 4-6). For Kia's Request this must be Request 6, because of the next step, though it does not seem to matter whether Kia or Louise goes first. When Kia's Request 2 unlocks complete that and Kia 3 right away (since Kia 3 expires 2 and 6, see above). After this it would seem the smartest to complete the rest of both characters' Requests that do not expire other Requests. It does not appear on the surface to necessarily matter how you complete the remaining Requests. Though I have not played through any other paths than these two to find out it seems the bottom five Requests hold the same course.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make my walkthroughs better or if someone has an additional path to the S ending for this game that works.
Notes:
You do NOT need to get the A rank on any mission or S endings to acquire any of the D endings. You just need to follow the correct path of each Request. The only exception is the D ending for Kia Request 2: Ashraf, in which you need to complete an additional requirement to obtain (as explained below).

Another way to get the S endings
Date: 2008-03-30 04:05 am (UTC)But this doesn't work if you need to get the S ending in order to get some of the D endings, but it's just something i found by accident.
