/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'd like to, but I know the game too well to enjoy it anymore. Wish it had a hard mode or something.

Too old-style for my taste. Not enough porn for my taste. Other than that, it's decent I guess. Never played it for too long.

I'm one of those who doesn't find that much of a replayability in RPGs so, no.
The game was really good though.

Sadly now it looks DRM and graphics are the priority in the newer games.

>>13369405

Is there an RPG out there as complex and challenging as GoS? Squareshit doesn't come close.

>>13369481
Labyrinth of Touhou is kinda similar, and Etrian Odyssey too since LoT is based on that.

>>13369523

Is devil of decline any good at least? It looks like they dumbed it down.

>>13369523
I absolutely cannot stand LoT's style of gameplay.

DoD was better
no replay value in either of the though

I'm playing Labyrinth of touhou 2 right now. Just got my shit slapped by Alice

>>13370926
I thought her dolls before her were harder, just because they are so god damn fast.

I got stuck on the endgame because it forced me to use more than just my main party.
I managed to somewhat avoid this in Eientei by sending the second (lvl 1 characters + high lvl Marisa) after Tewi, because her fight was more focused on luck.

Very good game, that was the only bad part of it.

I'm still on the last boss of the expansion.

Will find will to beat it some days.

>>13370949
I never had any trouble with her dolls before, but the Alice fight... Jesus Christ it's impossibru!

And why is Orin so useless?
Did I make the right choice by choosing Kaguya over Moko?
I will never know.

I was playing GoS and got stucked in Hina, man I can't beat this boss, those immunities and this Final attack... The hell is that.
Any tips?

>>13369628
DoD dumbed down their difficulty, but not that much that it's insultingly easy. It's still pretty tough here and there.

>>13371183
Focus on Marisa and Reimu's light attacks.

Kill her before she can do the final attack.

It's a pretty annoying fight due to the fact she can block certain attacks depending on her shield.

>>13371191
Also Reisen works on everything.

Even if she can't deal damage enough, her anti-buff is going to defang Hina.

>>13371161
I don't remember Alice being too hard. Komachi should be able to shrug off most attacks and she can be used to inflict debuffs on all enemies. Ran's AoE attacks are pretty strong but she can also be used as a support to set up the rest of your attackers. I don't remember if you have access Patchouli at that point, but her AoE spells are among the best in the game.

And Orin was actually one of my best characters in the game, especially for the last couple of bosses. Her row attack can proc multiple times with each attack having a chance to lower defence. She's like sort of similar to Chen in that she needs proper support to survive and can't be left on the field, unlike someone like Yuugi.

I chose Kaguya over Mokou as well and I found Kaguya to be useful only in certain bosses that have high mnd. The real benefit of choosing Kaguya is that you get Eirin early. Eirin can overheal allies, so that your 1k HP Marisa suddenly has 2k HP and can actually survive an attack.

>>13369310
Unless someone has come up with some nifty challenge, there is nothing to play or talk about.

>>13371442
We can provide some tips for people who get stuck.

>>13371451
No one can get stuck in an rpg for five years, dude. Or ever. The whole point is to grind your way past everything.

>>13371464
I disagree, even if you are level 99, you aren't guaranteed to win if you don't know strategy.

>>13371471
I double disagree. The game is already easy even if you don't grind. There must be some crazy fool who can think up something for us to do. It doesn't have to be possible, either. A "see how far you can get" scenario is fun, too.

>>13371489
Well, I guess you are good at the game.

I don't find it too easy.

I don't grind for level, but I grind for materials to make some bomb items and weapons. I play weekend so at least the requirements are lowered.

>>13371496
Don't try to make a well rounded team. Make everyone really good at one thing, have two healers, and learn which enemies need to be killed first.

>>13371508
Well I guess my mistake is that I did focus on making a well-rounded team, which is why I have to grind when I encounter those battles where you can switch teams.

What are your favorite characters/loadout?

I mainly use Reisen (debuff and huge attackers), Youmu + Byakuren (debuff and environmental buff that help make Youmu super versatile), Sanae (kind of a necessity most of the times) and Alice (necessity too).

I guess this is a part of my mistake since this team blows away most battles once you find the enemy's weakness.

>>13371626
Oh, and my non-expac loadout is Mokou instead of Reisen, same team otherwise, sometimes Mokou is switched for Sakuya.

Mokou's only flaw is that she relies too much on bombs, which is why I need to grind for her some bomb accessories.

>>13371353
I flanally managed to beat her, thanks to Parsee and the horned hermit.

Now it's time to fight Iku!

I loved the threads a couple years ago.

The main game is fun, beat it twice. But the post game made stop playing both times. I have to admit that Reisen is fun to use, though.

>>13371626
Reisen and Mokou (or Satori/Lithos who can also inflict curse) make a pretty ridiculous combo.
A team with all the light magic users is fun as well.

>>13373967
>Iku wipes out my whole team with a single attack
Holy fuck this is too hard for me, I give up.

>>13374373
Keeps it up! You should at least go for clearing the main game. The post game has some massive bullshit you don't need to do until the Expansion comes out, and it will probably be easier then.

>>13374373
Wind resistance and nature attacks go a long way in that fight. You can try inflicting Heavy with Alice/Yuugi/Eirin to slow her down when she buffs her attack to 100%.

>>13371442
Here's an idea.
You can only boost one spell type, one weapon, and two stats per character. They cannot be reassigned. No early Mokou or Byakuren. No other restrictions.

>>13369310
I stopped in front of the swamp because I could not find the silver key in the cloud dungeon.

>>13370149
well, LoT is a classic oldschool JRPG, fucktons of grinding.

>>13374373
Use the elemental barrier of Alice and the commander spell card of Aya to start first

>>13369310
I really should go back and finish that game, I kind of abandoned it right before Muenzuka 2 ten years ago for whatever reason.
It sucks that DoD translation or re-release download absolutely never, and NoR was disappointing and had too much DRM. Still, I guess I should thank you for making two good games, Strawberry Bose.
