Can't get ending 19

[Vapor_N4]

I can't get the itsuse inkling even after I build respect. I've tried the one in the ending guide here I've tried each one on Gamefaqs and I can't get this ending

[Vapor_N4]

Got it. I found I had to talk to her about her past and why she cant sleep. And then I had to say I had her back after the kota event. Then I had to talk to Yuma. Then I got the even to appear.

So this is how mine looked. (Jqtaxpayer reply if you want me to delete this.)

I'm glad you got your ending, but this is a WAY convoluted route to take: you don't need to go to Omiki, you don't need to join the Fujimori clan or deal with Shinnosuke in any way...I found this to be one of the easiest and most streamlined (and, actually, satisfying) endings to get...Anyways, if you go to the road and tell the Ouka guys that stealing is wrong and then tell Yuma you have a grudge against Fujimori (thus prompting an invite to Castle Minori and preventing the need to fight) you can avoid about half the steps you have listed here. I'm also surprised at how many times you sparred with Itsuse; i only sparred with her once; each time i talked to her to make our relationship stronger i would fast travel out of the area and then back to the area to talk to her again and the option of sparring came up only once.

Anyways, i'm not trying to be critical of you, i just think this is a very complicated and mostly unnecessary way of going about things when you can achieve this ending in about 20 minutes of play and most of that time is spent having conversations with Itsuse. But, then again, that ability to experiment with multiple paths and possibilities is what makes the series so fun...

yeah I don't doubt that its longer than it took other people, but i tried several ways for a whole day including starting out at the road like you said and this was the only way I was able to get it.
