RE: Alistair++ - Hints and Walkthrough
Spoilers. Obviously. If you have any questions that aren't answered here, check the FAQ.

General Hints:
-The mall exists for a reason. Items are immensely useful to you.
-Pay attention to detail. Quirks, habits, and interests are important.
-Don't spam a single stat. While each guy values one stat above the others, he still does care about the others.
-The more time you hang out at a guy's favorite place, the more likely you are to run into him.
-If you're tired of just short conversations, it might be a good idea to bring something that the guy finds interesting.

Items:
-You get $12 each time you work, and $15 on the weekends, so be sure to budget wisely.
-Each of the guys prefers a different style of clothing. If you buy the fashion he likes, he might like you more, even if he doesn't say so.
-Books and video games raise various stats, but some of them also lower other stats. Read the descriptions carefully before you purchase.
-It's nearly (not entirely, but nearly) impossible to get a good end without stat-boosting items, so look for what might be useful to you.

Travis Hints:
-Well, he IS the president of the computer games club, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out which stat he values the most, right?
-He also seems to value education over any amount of popularity.
-When it comes to clothing, he prefers usefulness over appearance.
-He's really a nice guy at heart, so being nice is a good thing.
-It doesn't hurt to be honest with him, either.

Shiro Hints:
-Seeing as he seems to care a lot about his grades, maybe you can guess what his more important stat is?
-Shiro has a preference for Asian-inspired things including cute clothing.
-He's a shy guy, but he really does want someone who will listen to him.
-It's okay to be playful. You're friends, after all.
-If he's got any secrets on his computer, they're probably locked away, so don't bother.

Derek Hints:
-Hey, he's a popular guy! Which stat do you think he cares about the most?
-Word on the street is he's a real player. If he's used to getting girls easily, then what makes you any different?
-When it comes to looks, he prefers sexy and mature.
-If you know what matters most to him, then wish for something that will make him happy.



Okay, I'm serious. There are some spoilers here now for real!
