Toranth Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 No problem, I do that all the time. I seem to like putting my digital foot in my mouth quite often.

Zenophilious Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hmm. Doesn't look too different... Nah, I meant something more like this. Close, though. Made me chuckle. One day I will finish G-senjou... Hopefully... DO IT. What route were you on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decay Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Somebody teach me how to do the combat I'm so overwhelmed by all this terminology and the complicated as hell looking UI Yumina the Ethereal~ Umm it's hard to say from memory and without a starting point. What parts aren't you understanding? Basically, every character uses one defensive skill and one active skill each turn. The defensive skill is passive, and is usually strong to either spirit or logic. The character on top is the one who actually gets targeted by offensive skills unless they're special in some way (aoe attacks for instance, although they're very rare). So when fighting, you want to match the character in your party who is best suited to both attack into and defend against the top character in the enemy party. Then your support characters can cast buffs, debuffs, and sometimes their own offensive attacks. These support skills have specific times when they can be cast, and will pop up asking you if you want to cast them when they're able to be cast.

Yeah, reading the 'tutorial' i was just like wtf but actually playing it is not too confusing after a few rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decay Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There is some nuance to it, though. The most complicated part, which I forgot about until now, is the audience rating for each color. It's basically a shared mana pool between everyone on both sides of the battle, and it gets influenced by the abilities you use. An expensive red ability might spend a lot of the red rating to cast and then give rating to the other colors. I still don't fully understand how some of that stuff works, such as the maximum total rating (which is important to raise, I just don't know how...). Sometimes you get into situations where a lot of the audience rating for one color is drained and you have to switch the top spot out to a less optimal character so you should try to avoid this if possible, but sometimes it's beyond your control. Pay attention to the skills the enemy is casting and try not to get into situations where you would just barely have enough rating to carry out the lead character's actions because often it will get drained before they have a chance to act and they'll have to pass their turn. You can do this to the enemy, however. Doing this is key to some of the boss fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnip Sensei Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I just Finished Okita's route in Hakuoki. (Or reach one of the good endings) That was probably one the most beautiful scenes I've seen in a while. Two broken but hopeful persons and all the bittersweet feels. It also helps that it looks gorgeous and strangely alluring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funyarinpa Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Would anybody here (who has ALREADY FINISHED UMINEKO COMPLETELY) be interested in a Umineko discussion thread? I started replaying Umineko, things have just picked up, and I want somebody to discuss the crimes with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidShu Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Finished the agave route (pure awesomeness) and on to my first sub-route, Chika. As of now she is pretty bitchy but maybe that will change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinovaA Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Spent a bit of time playing Baldr Sky Dive 1 today. I'm on what I imagine is Rain's route, not that you are given a choice since the VN is enforced playing order. I don't mind that though, as I rather like Rain. In fact, I like the heroines almost equally at the moment. So where I am in Baldr... just met up with Chinatsu again and just started chapter 7 if I am to believe what the save data is telling me. Going to make a run for the end of Rain's route tomorrow, but as I have no idea how far I am... I might not make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Yumina's is good. ...Maybe after I finish Forest. The actual dungeon crawling segments are super barebones and boring, but are largely optional. The battles are kind of needlessly complicated but not too bad or anything. I find it very difficult to imagine that someone would fall in love with Yumina's gameplay, though.
