    It's been a while, but if I remember correctly,

      Hide contents

    As soon as Tokimi shows up, the game ends with Yuuto and imouto being sent back to Earth without memories.  It's basically a Bad End.

     

    Seems like what I remember. I played the texthooked version of the 18+ version and i remember it that way but it was a long long time ago.

    First OP with the random sword girl was good stuff though ;D

    Hmm...I've been wondering, what you guys prefer (or more lucky) for gacha pulls, one roll or ten roll? Since the rate is the same.

    In my case, my ssr comes from 10 roll, while 1 roll (as far as I remember) got me only Jalter last year.

    Taking luck out of it because i've literally rolled 2000sq without a single 5 star servant before.

    10 rolls are statistically better because of the guarantee. Period.

    Reminds me of when I whaled to get NP2 Illya last summer and got Jeanne, Karna, Drake, and my third Tamamo, but no second Illya.

    Luckily when I tried for NP2 merlin it took me the same amount to get NP2 as it did to take NP1 which was 300$ so only 600$ for np2...

    It just sucks when it takes so much (1k$) for np1 of something.

    I'm hoping Gramps and Melt won't do the same cause I really want to get np2 or more of them, especially melt.

    Welp...I'm not sure how to feel about this new years.

    I went in to the NA GSSR wanting Enkidu, got my Enkidu (Good since i went through 5 packs and didn't get him in the banner).

    Then I figured I would try my luck on Musashi and how shit that was....10 packs later I got her after 3 other SSR spoops and a shitload of SR's Most of which I burned since I already had NP5...

    I figured I wouldn't do this after Cu and look where I am...need to rangle myself next time.

    Well I didn't buy much on Mangagamer as my library is pretty big and I'm only into gameplay kinda games lately.

    But I picked up some older JAST games

    Moero Downhill Night Blaze
    Another Story of Fallen Maidens: Fallen Hero and the Magic Sword of Truth
     

    cause I didn't have them yet.

    Meanwhile in NA I went through...4 or 5 packs and haven't got either Quetz or Enkidu, did get the 4 stars though.

    Decided to hold out until Merlin since both the story servants are available after. Going for np2 merlin and then the rest i might dump on the other servants.

    A question about Aselia the Eternal

    in Visual Novel Talk

    Loved the game, played every route. My recommendation is to play the game with whatever heroine you want (I did Lesteena for instance first and foremost).

    There are a few heroines that you can only do after NG+ but otherwise if the battles are an issue for you, you can just use a trainer to get through the "gameplay" aspect of it.

    Most of the game is pretty linear with maybe 2ish hours worth of content related to heroines in specific, otherwise many share similar "routes" and only minor changes come from choosing them.

    The recommended route is mainly just due to related plots diverging from the main heroine.

    Aselia->Esperia->Orpha->Uruka->Lesteena->Kyouko->Tokimi.

    Aselia is the main heroine and relates to Esperia, Orpha, Uruka, the later three slightly diverge and maybe Orpha only having a bit more additional content related to her specific plot.

    Lesteena is pretty separate from the above 4 so there isn't really a lose in playing hers (and after playing all the routes I personally still enjoyed hers the most but that's personal opinion).

    Kyouko and Tokimi are NG+, the later was a good route and probably my second favourite next to lesteena.

    Then there is of course the failed-to-get-heroines route and the bad route...

    tl;dr choose whichever YOU personally like, you won't miss much, then if you want to go back and do the rest and if you dislike/annoyed by the gameplay, trainer it.

    Don't care what anyone says Eien no Aselia is one of my favs.

    From my memories it is the porn that's gone, added Voice Acting, added scenes and CG's. I don't remember if anything was "censored"

    The references to porn are all cut and instead replaced with additional scenes to replace and fill in the "gap." Also additional content, content, and CG were added

    The fact is, it's been 2 month we live together and almost 7 months we know each other, so I am affraid of 2 things:

    - The fact that I never told her before, if I come to ask her for permission, it will feel like I hidden I liked those things until now

    - She is kinda vanilla, I was thinking about telling her but I don't know how, because as I said in my first point, I never told her, and if I do nowshe may say "gosh and you waited all this time to tell me that?" and if I try to explain her what are VN, saying "see hony? those are porn game(nuki) and those are not, even with 18+, I read them for the PLOT"

    I can try to make it sound like it's for a friend, maybe it's the best idea...

    At that point then, easiest thing to do it just play them when you have time but if the topic gets brought up (say like if you are talking about or referencing say, Fate/Stay Night or Steins;Gate) you can go a bit more into the source material which is a VN.

    I myself on many occassions have gone into F/S N and the VN only stuff a LOT. And then if she asks about the source material bring up that it originally was a visual novel. And if she asks what a VN is just say what it is, an interactive novel in game form. (If people remember the goosebumps books that allow you to make choices and jump pages this is a prime example). You can just clearly say "It's a game that focuses almost entirely on the story and less on the "gameplay."

    There is no need to hide the fact they have porn anymore than saying your reading a book that happens to have erotic scenes in it. And if you are playing a porn game just bring up 50 shades of grey. Some books, like visual novels, have porn in them and some have them as their main focus. 

    Drip feed her only if she asks, and if she ever talks about hiding it or not telling her merely bring up the fact that 1) You weren't hiding it it's just a type of thing you need to be immersed into reading (like a book) and 2) You didn't tell her whatever because she never asked.

    Hell later on you can even bring up stuff like "Daibanchou" which has a LOT of gameplay, but has sex and bring up how people play it for the gameplay but it happens to have sex stuff in it.

    tl;dr, if she asks, answer the question directly, but also make references to media today such as books (the best example as it has more porn/erotic scenes than really anything else) or movies in that, those mediums contain sex/porn but you read them for the plot and such.

    The main thing is that this needs to come out eventually and you can't lie, something like this with lying will always end up in your face and they will, among other things, find you untrustworthy and that's the worst.

    This pretty much all relates to how she feels about it.

    It's like porn, honestly (assuming you are playing the porn type VN's and not, say, Steins;Gate). Some women are okay with it as long as it doesn't detract from them, hell because it's a VN it might be "better." Others are completely against it.

    So you got to ask yourself, does she like anime/manga and understand what a VN is. The whole "I learned Japanese because of those games" is a point that isn't needed to make you can easily just be like "yeah i thought it would be fun to learn" kinda thing.

    But if you want to play VN's, she has to know, and if she has to know, she has to be okay with it. ESPECIALLY if you are doing something "sneaky sneaky" behind her back. You can just tell her "look VN's are like reading a book, I can't do them with you around because I get distracted from the immersion required to fully enjoy it. So like reading a book it is best to have some seclusion/privacy while doing it. Hell you could even do something like watch a movie or whatever you do in the mean time"

    My wife loves VN's especially the yaoi ones from Nitro+, So yeah I get the jab every now and then about the VN porn games but I never hide it from her, If i'm playing those kinds of games she just goes and plays something/watches something/does something else.

    Now taking all this into account, if she IS the type to go ape shit over this stuff, then yeah you gotta either break it if VN's are more important to you or resign yourself to the fact you gotta give it up. If she REALLY does not like VN's then it's just going to put a strain on the relationship.

    Nice, been waiting to get my hands on Yumina the Ethereal. Unfortunately I can't buy anymore copies of EnA, pretty much bought them everywhere and for most people i know that will play it. Sequel as well. The rest of the games I either had or, in Raidy case, didn't quite interest me.

    Can anyone explain to me, why so many people are always saving for Jalter? If it's about her waifu-factor I guess I just disagree. Gameplay-wise she really needs Merlin to be great, otherwise she is a lot less amazing than some other damagedealers (for example Archuria and her ridiculous np spam)

    Does this need to be said?

     

    Spoiler

    FGO Relies heavily on skills, then NP, then stats. This is why so many lower star servants are amazing. Hans for instance has decent skills but his NP is broke for his level. Hassan Cursed Arm on the other hand at his star level is basically an Assassin version of Cu.

    Therefore, whether a servant is objectively good first relies on skills (unless the NP is absolutely broken like Tamamo's), then NP, and lastly stats + other stuff.

    Of course for all this to roll together their card deck must be well built (Unfortunate for Emiya...)

    So let's take a look at Jalter who has a QAABB with a B NP (This already is looking like a servant who is built to deal damage)

    Also I will be look at the max possible skill stats because that's what you are aiming for

    Skill 1: Increase Crit damage by 50% for 3 turns, increase your crit star absorption for 3 turns, 5 turn cooldown

    This right here means for 3/5 turns (60% of the match) she will have a 50% increase in her crit damage with an almost guarantee to GET those stars. So if you have anyone on the team generating stars, she is automatically going to be dealing insane crit damage 60% of the time...and this is WITHOUT any other buffs

    Skill 2: Increase all allies attack for 3 turns 20%, increase attack of "Dragon" allies for 3 turns 20%, 5 turn cooldown

    Let's ignore the later skill because it's almost useless. But a flat 20% increase to everyones damage for, AGAIN, 60% of the match is VERY good. Not many servants have this kind of skill. Even Gil who ARGUABLY has one of the best party wide attack buffs goes for 21%, only 1% difference.

    Skill 3: Increase her own buster performance for 1 turn 50%, grants invincibility for 1 turn, deals 1000 damage (HP cannot fall below 1). 6 turn cooldown.

    Okay now this is again, insane. She gets a BUSTER burst of damage at 50% one time. As we noted above she has a BB with a B NP, this means you could potentially buster brave chain with an NP and all of that gets a 50% buff in and of itself with this skill. Granted the down side is her only protective skill is linked to her, arguably, BEST attack increase skill so in times where you need to defend, you have to decide when to use this. Again on the highest 6 turn cooldown, this is the only down side to this. But it's still insane.

     

    What does this means? This means that if you use all of this on JUST HER, you can get, in 1 turn, a 70% increase in damage on buster attacks (including your NP) for 1 turn, a 20% increase in damage of all attacks for 3 turns, and IF you crit, your damage goes up by 50%.

     

    Now let's look at her NP, A buster NP that goes 600% of her base damage (NP 1), and inflicts curse for 5 turns (500 damage per turn), and inflicts block status to them for 1 time. Now granted the damage isn't substantially high for this NP with only the curse being anything, so it is slightly lackluster, but pair it with the damage buffs above and you now have a possible 1020% damage at NP1.

    Now let's look at some other stuff.

    Her passives, Increase own NP generation rate when taking damage by 18%, increase crit damage by 10% (Well that just boosted the 50% up there to 60%), and charge NP by 4% per turn.

    Attack stat is high, one of THE highest in the game...overall, she doesn't seem to have issues with spamming her np.

    Of course Avenger is the only class to deal double to rulers, and a multiplier of 1.1 base.

    All this together gives you a VERY good DAMAGE dealer, she is build to fuck shit up and she is arguably one of the best at doing it with the exception of berserkers and even then she gives them a run for their money with how much buffs she can put on just herself. Very few berserkers have even near this amount of damage buffs. And berserkers have the shit time of not getting stars (lowest absorption rate) meaning she could potentially out damage any berserker outside a few.

     

    One of the best to go up against berserkers as well.

     

    Oh...then there's the waifu factor of course.

    Of course this is NA speaking...

     

    I should iterate that I'm not saying Jalter is better than Squirtoria (i assume that's the servant you were talking about?) But of course the downside to Squirtoria is you can't really put her in ALL teams. Jalter has a wider range of applications if only for the fact she has less servants she is bad against.

    This game is one of my favourites purely because, as much as I can state how good or great some servants are...you don't EVER need to use them. I can still dick around with my Amakusa, or Li Shuwen, or hell, my Cursed Arm Hassan and still have a blast.

    Okay so thankfully my data has not been deleted. Although this redownload thing has happened 3 times already today. It says I need to clear the cache to fix the app startup error. And then it redownloads, and does the same thing again..

    Possibly email support?

    Yay, I rolled a Herc! And just when I was wanting to try a berserker out.

    Also managed to get all the lighters to MLB Kintoki before the event ended (got him to NP4 too). Actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be thanks to Eurydale, Jalter, and Shiki supports. ^_^ Now I just need to stop being lazy and farm more leveling mats.

    Kintoki Rider is pretty boss so getting him to NP4 at lvl 80 is awesome. on rerun you can get the NP5 version. Herc is amazing and will carry you hard. One of the, if not arguably THE, best 4 stars in the game and give a lot of 5 stars a run for their money.
