/jp/ - Otaku Culture

You just really need to blitzkrieg the hell out of Youmu, Yuyuko isn't a big deal if you toss counter-death accessories on Alice. Also, I found Reimu in the party was an awesome addition since her light spells keep the land from going too far dark and giving Yuyu a massive heal.

Pick one of the four elements and spam spells of such element with Patchy/Marisa, have Alice shielding them often. After Youmu goes down your only worry will be Yuyuko's Death Spell, just have Alice cover someone with a spell and fire your most powerful spells in the turn you'll be sure to get a KO. You may want someone to do physical damage to Yuyuko as her PDef is quite low.

>>9574278
Yuyuko has like 70 evasion and some perfect dodge trait, with some decent magic defense, accurate melee attackers are the way to go, she has a pretty dangerous final attack that causes instant death, so be prepared for that.

I'm on the final stage, after I dealt with Lithos, I have the supposed final battle ahead of me, the wiki has discouraged me quite a bit. Is some kind of party level a requirement for even having hope, or perhaps certain equipment? Kusanagi sounds like too much of a grind. I'm around early 50s, does anyone have any hints for how big of a battle am I getting myself into?

Picture remotely related, the path to get through the faces with red eyes puzzle in Stage 20: Divine Temple/Great Temple, certainly a jerk puzzle.

The best way I found to deal with Yuyuko is to give Nitori a decent gun, 20 points in her gun growth tree, use her skill that changes the element of her attacks to fire, then spam her fire attacks (preferably with Patchouli boosting fire damage as well). I think you'll want an ACC buff from Sanae as well, but I don't remember.
>>9574444
Just keep trying until you have an idea of what you can do against them, I guess. I believe a few levels would be nice, so you can get Youmu's second last spell which can rip the final form in two if you have the Doujigiri (by the way, get that as well), but that's up to you.
Also, yeah, these final bosses are cunts.

Just beat her, now i need to grind for some peaches. Where are they and who drops them?

>>9574841
Netherworld has quite a few peaches in drops, I think the next dungeon may also have some, perhaps even in a chest.

>>9575105
Actually, this is incorrect, the netherworld is the last place you'll find peaches. They drop like crazy though, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding them.

>>9575117
they aren't dropping at all, I even got the patch for increased drop rate and am using gamer fan. Still nothing

>>9574841
>>9575783
Look for those one-eyed blood trees. They have by far the best drop rate for them (something like 15% pre-patch).

I'm a plebian, can someone tell me the name of this game, and if it's translated? I can find everyone else on my own. Sorry for laze.

The name is right in the image.

I'm sorry, I looked at the thumbnail and thought it only had kanji in it.

>>9574444
The difficulty lies in finding a party split which allows you to eke out a win in the first phase and pick the essential touhous (at least Byakuren) for the horrors which follow in the last two phases.
I don't really know what kind of equipment is best, but e.g. the Awakened Soul on your damage dealer allows you to burn bombs easier. If the Kusanagi is in your reach (e.g. by fusing other materials into many Irons), you really should consider it. It makes the first half of the expansion a breeze and is one of the finest things you could shove in Reisen's hands (not in a dirty way!).

The most important thing is: strategy. The Goddess has some super nasty stuff. If you're very desperate about beating her, you might for example use Sakuya's Private Square to get a free round. I call that "the chef method".

bump

>>9576890
fucking mind flayers

also, is there anyone that streams this? kinda wanna see what it plays like before I go through the hassle of downloading it

is there anyone that steams this regularly? wanna see what it's all about first before i go through the hassle of downloading it

>>9581197
Not that I know of, just download it though, it's a lot of fun and really well-made despite it's problems.

Try to work out the final boss yourself. I don't want to give you my strategy right off the bat.
The wiki is wrong about a lot of stuff, as usual. You don't need to be in the 70s or whatever the fuck in recommends.

>>9581197
Here's a dude who sometimes streams it, there should be a video about the latest adventure he's had.
http://www.twitch.tv/exxelent

>>9581287
everyone's sharing tips and being helpful and then there's this douche. This is why these threads suck

What kind of party should I use for the Depths of Resentment?

for that guy asking, Starlight Barrier has a level requirement. Forgot what it was, it's in the wiki on the Satori page.

Starlight Barrier says it's a 50% learn rate. I have full learning points in Satori and I've triedl unicorns, the angel dudes, and the tiger things in Bhava-agra but I can't seem to learn it no matter how many times it's used on me. Was there a patch removing it as a skill or did they lower the learn rate to 1%?

>>9581981
Never mind I'm a fucking idiot and didn't realize she had to be level 50.

>>9581605
this guy is autistic as HELL
talks too fast and giggles too much

On a semi-related note, I have to wonder what the fuck the point of assigning a button to instantly close a game without verification is.

>>9583206
I think he sounds like your average socially awkward /jp/sie.

I'm on outer Eientei, and I don't know where the fuck to go to get to the boss fight. I got to the red button with party B, but I'm lost on party A's route. Any directions?

>>9583220
How many socially awkward /jp/ers do you know, fag?

>>9583229
3, which is just under 1/10th of the entire board population. Come at me spergmeister.

>>9583221
Huh, party A?
I remember being lost on B because I couldn't figure where the secret passage was (should've learned from Palace of the Earth Spirits and checked everything), but I remember A to be rather straightforward for the most part.

>>9583221
Well, now that I checked a bit, there are some not-too-clearly-seen routes through the forest. Try poking every bush 'till you get it, I guess?

Shame there's no way to provide a map or something.

Are chasers physical or magical?

>>9583323
Not tested them properly, but I think they're triggered by elemental damage, so mostly magic and possibly elemental weapons, I guess.

Weapon-based chasers probably react to weapon attacks. Never really used them.

>>9583221
http://www26.atwiki.jp/touhou_souzin/pages/65.html

Here's a map, in runes however.

>>9583323
Chasers use Nitori's PATK and enemies' PDEF to calculate damage, I believe.

>>9583364
Thank you.

>>9583369
Do they have piercing or elemental properties? They always seem to do drastically more damage to enemies that normally would have high resistance to her physical attacks.

>>9583417
The chasers obviously use the element they're associated with, if it's a fire chaser, it will not use the enemies' stab/strike/slash or any other resistance modifier, you can essentially bypass their physical resistances, but not physical defense.

Can you patch Weekend expansion in without the translation patch getting problems?

>>9584717
Weekend is actually a separate game from the base+Lingering Summer Heat pack, even though it's version 3.0, so you don't need to install it in the same folder.
As you obviously already know, it still has no translation patch.

I'm at stage 18 having trouble with the bosses, anyway, who should I give Kusanagi?

>>9585692
The obvious answer is Youmu, but i think Sakuya wouldn't be a bad choice either if she is using the Illusion Tree

what character builds do you guys recommend in regards to growths? Max one tree or be diverse and dabble in a few?

>>9585739
The great thing about GoS is that you can try different things until you find out what YOU like.

For example, Youmu has quite a lot of options in terms of build, I've tried specializing in one tree, going for a dual-style setup, and even using all three stances, and it was pretty much up to preference it seemed.

>>9585739
It varies rather wildly, just consider the bonuses you get versus the point cost across several trees. There is no one perfect solution, various different builds work for different roles.
Hybrids will likely be weaker in aspects, unless you have a lot of growth.

>>9585692
Youmu. Sakuya and Mokou both have excellent unique weapons, but Youmu's katanas aren't THAT amazing. Especially in boss fights, where she can't instagib things.

I'm not sure if I can win this.

I'm not sure if I can win this.

I'm not sure if I can win this.

>>9585891
Stage 18 is definitely the hardest stretch in the main game. First figure out what's in each route, and build your parties accordingly. You probably won't be able to cover everything on every route and still have functioning parties; just try to cover as much as you can, and run from whatever you can't.
Avoid enemies whenever possible, and don't use those single-use healing circles as soon as you see them.

There IS a way to cheese it...but cheesing is dumb.

>>9585900
Oh.

Throw up an appropriate barrier hen she charges up. Alice might be a good idea for her; the other two have big weaknesses you can exploit.

>>9585908
I beat her! But I've still got the other two left...

>>9585912
The needle one is HORRIBLY weak to fire and has, like, no physical defense.
You know what to do.

The octopus one...sucks. Nitori can give herself electric bullets and shoot her full of holes with rage eight, but her attacks hurt, especially her big water attack. Alice would be a good idea here, if you didn't use her on the one with fang crush.

>>9585937
I just beat the needle poison one with just Sakuya and Mokou, got some incredible luck there with Fujiyama Volcano hitting twice three times in a row.

I'm now at the water one I guess and my party consists of Alice, Byakuren, Nitori, Youmu and Aya.

Is her charge-up water element? I think I've got Artful Sacrifice ready on Alice so I could absorb that.

>>9585960
Ah, I meant Reimu, not Aya. Aya fought the Hyper Fang Crush boss.

>>9585960
Yeah, it's water.
She uses it on the first turn too, and it can cause instant death. She's also got a blinding attack and hits hard with tentacles. Have a blast.

>>9585985
Ah, my party got instant killed so I sadly failed the very last battle.
Feels like a great waste of luck, but it was one of my first attempts so I don't feel very frustrated over it. I'll see if I can learn it again, thank you for your help!

Question about satori's learning, I went to the wiki to look at her skills, and it says a lot of skills have only a 1% chance to be learned. Is she even worth it?

>>9586215
She's well worth it if you have the patience and it goes up to 3% with max learning.

>>9586215
I highly recommend getting the drop-rate patch. It boosts those 1%s to reasonable levels.

>>9585692
I recommend Mokou due to spammable Fujiyama Volcano.

So am I supposed tog et the original GoS or the "Weekend" version the wiki mentions?

>>9587246
depends on how frustration-resistant you are. Weekend gives you a so called easy mode.

>>9587246
Original. Doesn't have a translation.

>>9587398
Weekend doesn't have a translation, I mean.

So I guess I need to level all characters up right? Can't stick favorites etc...

I mean I don't even feel like slapping Nitori on as commander to get her to level up, I just want keep having Alice/Patchy in there...

Who's the most broken party member according to you?

>>9588052
Sakuya can easily deal 3k+ damage on normal attacks with the right two-handed sword against the right enemies, and she has her time stop as well, so I vote for her.

>>9588052
Nitori is one of the best characters in the game.

>>9588052
The pre expansion characters are all pretty balanced, they all shine in various parts of the games with various weapons and spells

but it's the expansion 2hus who really wreck anus

Do you guys even bother with Satori? Learning all the skills without Weekend expansion seems extremely lame and tedious.

>>9589126
I would bother with her just for the Christian attack

>>9589126
I do. Her versatility is very power.
Use the drop rate patch. It boosts her learning too. There's also a list of her skills and where they're learned somewhere...

>>9589158
Is that a seperate patch apart from the 2.08 version?

>>9589180
Nevermind, found it (I think).

Oh well guess I'll play Satori then, but I won't focus too much on learning, just pass through content and hope I snatch a few along the way.

>>9589208
Oh, you'll probably want to seek them out even with the patch. It makes it less frustrating, but you're still not going to learn that much from just having Satori chilling out in the party.
Where are you in the game?

>>9589289
Yuyuko's stage now.

>>9589393
Oh. There's not that much you can do with Satori yet, then.
Get mind blast from the mind flayers, the single-target elemental spells from the SDM fairy mages, energy drain from the undead fairies in hell...you might want to pick up a mass-damage spell (flame from various stuff in hell is easiest to get) but Satori's more about status effects and versatility than raw damage.

Do saves from the original version work with Weekend?

>>9590579
As far as I've read, yes.

>>9590579
Yeah just throw your 2.09 saves into the sav folder and they should work.

>>9590027
>>9589949
doesn't work for me during cutscenes.

>>9590629
What cutscene? Are you on version 3.0 (weekend), japanese locale?

>>9590679
Yes, I just transferred my save back to the old version. It works fine there and all but not on weekend. I'm at Komachi.
Weird considering that it worked at Stage 6.

>>9590720
You used the sav converter at some point right? (aka your old version is 2.09 or something?) I might ask you to upload your sav

>>9590750
I thought save converter wasn't needed...

I just tried using the save converter and retried. No improvement.

He's in this thread,

>>9590899
I kinda realized that just now

>>9590873
Tested and confirmed on working correctly now following on into Yuuka's stage.

Thank you.

Is the game in version 3.0? No patches or quickfixes? Generally the release quite a few just after the game is out.
Well, the game its more like an update but still. Not gonna bother with them though, since I'm assuming the english patch is for 3.0.

>>9590997
When you install weekend the game will be version 3.0. That's the latest one, no need to get any other updates.

>>9590997
Weekend has had no patches so far.
By the way, is the game lagging on menus (equipment, growth, etc) for anyone else? This doesn't seem to happen on 2.09, DoD or anything else.

I'm unable to move after I walk into those magic circles ever since I got to Stage 3 (playing Lingering Heat 2.08 with the English patch). Anybody else have this problem?
I'm unable to progress at all.

Right weekend .rar's back up.
http://www.mediafire.com/?a8c1by6btaid7

Never heard of that, you might just want to see how it runs on weekend.

>>9591104
It does for me aswell.

These drop rates haven't been increased enough!
Or that's how I feel when grinding for adamantite shards.

The glowing numbers when you hit a weakness are pretty nifty.

>>9594390
>grinding
get a load of this clown

>>9594390
Is that what it is? I was literally just about to ask the thread that. Over all I like weekend but the interface seems a bit clunky now with the resource reduction.

>>9594501
The only things you needed to grind before were drops and Satori's skills, which both had their rates increased. Now you can post that whenever someone complains that the game is too hard.
>>9594578
Is it? I haven't noticed anything different from before, other than >>9591104.

The first I'm stuck at is none other than Cirno + Momiji.

I'm awestruck. My party is level 32-35. Guess I'll grind a bit more.

>>9594829
>>9594829
>Guess I'll grind a bit more.
NO NO NO. That is never the answer.

Momiji's big attack is never going to hit you unless Cirno's frozen you. Spread any anti-quick/freeze equips you've got around, and have Reimu throw up an anti-quick barrier whenever they charge up. RES buffs might help, but Alice's anti-water skills won't block the freeze.
Cirno is HORRIBLY weak to fire, Momiji is weak to earth or something. Cirno is a mage, Momiji is a warrior, so they both get slayed by lots of stuff, especially Nitori's guns. Plan accordingly.

>>9594829
>>9594862
Nevermind.
I went out, encountered one mob, happened to be Yukkuri sisters, got several levels from just that. Went back, and completely annihilated Cirno and Momiji.

Welp

>>9594698
That's what I mean, the menu interface is clunky now. Before it felt like an older game, completely lagless now it feels more modern.

Does anyone know if wielding the "Gamer Fan" on commanders gives the drop buff ?

>>9595309
I'm pretty sure you need to kill things with it. I could be wrong, though.

So...Weekend version. Yay or nay?

>>9595316
It's literally the version 3.0 of the game, which rectifies a lot of the bullshit it had at first. For a full list of changes in moon language, check this link: http://www26.atwiki.jp/touhou_souzin/pages/251.html
Especially now that there is a translation patch for it, I don't see why not play this version. Easy mode is optional, too, if you didn't know.

>>9595361
The apparently lagging menus, for one thing.
What's it change outside of easy mode? I can't read moon.

>>9595376
Most importantly, besides drop rates, a minimap.

>>9591323
This is all pre-patched, right>

If I download this and play it, will I have to start over?

>>9596963
Your 2.09 save is as compatible as ever, just drag the .sav files over.

>>9597060
I am 2.06.
How do I convert them?
Does weekend come with a converter?

>>9597112
Update to 2.07 or above, then run the SaveDataConv thingy inside your save folder.

>>9597189
So 2.07 is compatible with GOS weekend?
Thanks dude.

Several times I have reached the final stage of the last boss, however I am unable to beat it.

This is with easy mode turned on.

As the boss gets 3 turns sometimes, I can't just marionette with Alice as her activations eventually run out when the boss decides to cast 3 all-hitting spells, and people drop, and too often vortex kills Youmu's damage output, forcing me to extreme downtime to get Youmu back to her feet.

Turns out easy mode does not reduce Minus damage. It's getting to the point where it doesn't feel fun anymore, I want to play the expansion. Please help.

>>9597715
Well, I've got a lot of advice for-

>This is with easy mode turned on.
Oh.
Nevermind.

>>9597887
Was your advice going to be use easy mode? Or did you decide not to give someone advice because they put the game on easy?

>>9597970
He was clearly alluding to the second.

>>9597715
You can decrease Minus' damage by equipping MYS resistant equipment.

>>9597715
Easy mode turns off for boss battles, you know.
>vortex
Something you'd want to know is that it has a chance to fail on characters with high RES (so buff that) and it won't work on covered characters (so either cover Youmu or Little Legion away).

>>9597715
see my advice in
>>9576890

>>9598856
Oh, fuck you. The last boss of the expansion is horseshit enough already. I waited so long to stomp him on easy and argh

Is there any way to actually kill the later bosses without Alice.

Seems every suggestion, walkthrough or guide pinpoints: ALICE ALICE ALICE

>>9599173
Because she is the best tank.
You cant put up barrier with Reimu every turn or heal all with Sanae every turn.
It is just easier to do it with Alice.

>>9599173
It's hard to ignore Alice when Marionette Parry(Parrar? Which one is it) essentially allows everyone to use Alice's shield, which ends up upgraded through various effects (like the shield, or Rainbow Parrar). If you have one shield for lightning, Alice allows you to have 5 of them.

>>9599362
>(shield
I mean field, been awake far too long.

>>9599354
>>9599381
It's not that I don't mind Alice, in fact I've been loving her ever since she took Mokou's place in my party (though Mokou is still the superior trash cleaner).

But I usually hate the "MUST HAVE" party members in rpgs.

>>9599410
Sanae is pretty much a must have as well. Good thing she has got a pretty smug sprite.

>>9599416
Shame her last word is useless if you use Byakuren (unless they stack)

>>9599426
I forgotten what byakuren last word? Is it something to do with money or better drop?
Isnt Sanae last word a party wide super buff? It definitely stack with her normal atk/magic buff.

>>9599429
If you max Byakuren's scroll to 25 you get ALL up buff too.

>that feel when I grinded 5 Celestial Peaches from the netherworld and I don't even need them anymore
>that feel when I get 8 Sunflower Seeds in half the time

fuck

>>9599486
Dude, you don't really need to grind anything in this game. Especially now that there's a drop rate patch.

Except for a turtle smasher. That thing is pretty important.

But that's it. You can make do with stuff you only find in chests. I got through the game underleveled constantly and most of it before the drop rate patch came into full being.

>>9599486
Please stop posting like a feeling /v/ subhuman. We're all emotionless dolls here.

>>9599506
Duly noted.

>>9599426
Sanae's LW buff is far superior to Byakuren's. The latter does like 10%, Sanae's does a whopping 30%. Easily the best LW in the game.

>>9599525
* I meant the Sanae LW is superior to Byakuren's scroll spell. Then again it's true that the latter is much easier available. Then again, it might be a wasted buff (there is a limit). You decide

>>9599416
I have only had Sanae as a commander the entire game when she needs levelling and I'm nearly through Genbu's Swamp.

how to run it under windows7?
got it from >>9591323
tried compatibilities with windows xp and windows 95 result is the same

>>9599824
forgot to add, this happens whenever i try to run it

I want to know what to focus in because this is getting me nowhere.
First, what are reasonable damage figures for the last boss (three sisters)? First phase. I can't even get to the second phase.

>>9601356
Personally I used Aya, Reimu, Mokou, Marisa, and Satori for that fight. Sakuya was commander, but there really wasn't any point to that besides being the least useful character for the entire fight in my opinion.

Basically you want Mokou to Fujiyama Volcano the third sister. If you have a bomb accessory or something you can pretty much do your best to survive several rounds fairly easily while Mokou and Marisa slowly whittle them down. She should be doing around 5-6k damage per Fujiyama. Marisa should be doing somewhere around 1-2k with the right stardust attacks.

If you're got Mokou built for damage and have her double attack proc and 0 cooldown Fujiyama Volcano, you can potentially end the first part in 18 turns/3 sister loops.

Basically the first phase pretty much just consists of rolling defenses using Satori and Reimu. It will probably take you a bit to get used to the patterns, but once you do, you chould pretty much be invulnerable to all the sisters just by using Reimu and Satori smartly. Satori with various support skills like Refresh, Starlight barrier, and Leaf Shield and the such. Aya will be an EVA tank.

Basically you just want to avoid muscle revolution or Lithos's charm/petrify spell from fucking up your party. Those are the only real dangers of the fight really.

It's a battle of attrition after that.

>>9599824
Make sure your computer is set to Japanese locale.

>>9601491
If you have obtained the Turtlesmasher, you can use that for the Fujiyama Volcanoes. You can cut the cycling a lot shorter if you max fire, and cast Volcano on both the turtle and snake sister, you'll end up hitting the turtle slightly harder. (I was hitting 3600 and ~3200 on the turtle and snake respectively)

(Poorly) updated the wiki with the new weapon recipes. Basically, most of them now require one less exclusive material. Still fighting my laziness to update the rest of the equipment.

By the way, to defeat Youmu/Yuyuko, just set them on fire (Nitori makes that process easier for Yuyu, given her absurd MDEF). Just fought them again and the battle didn't even last 6 turns.

>>9602456
And I'm done.

does anyone know how weekend drop rates compare to the drop rate patch?

>>9602906
Weekend's are higher. I don't know by how much, though

>>9602906
>>9603031
http://www26.atwiki.jp/touhou_souzin/pages/251.html
Here's a list of all the drop rate/learn rate/etc. changes

>>9602186
Oh man, thanks for the Turtlesmasher tip. Mokou really packs a punch now.

>>9603125
...Though I'm still not even close. Fuck.

I really wanted to try my best to complete this without asking for help, but after many days of attempting her, I still can't get passed Komachi. Are there any particular gimmicks to beating her like the whole killing yuyuko before youmu to avoid the after-kill party wipe?

Currently no one in my party is ever safe against her. I have an Alice on my team who I keep using Marionette Parrr (I think that's the name) on my party, but even with her shield up and being far and away my tankiest member, she is still being one-shot by the Slice of Days attack or whatever it's called

I'm at my limit here

>>9603255
Land manipulation. Use lots of light attacks and Reimu's light field boost if you have it to cut the damage of her big dark attacks in half.

>>9603266

That could be a pain, I don't have Reimu (or anyone else who might have light magic) leveled significantly at all.

EASY MODO is on by default in weekend for some fucking reason.
Remember to turn it off!

>>9603303

I thought the point of weekend was to be an easymode version. Hence why the setting would be automated to make it easier

>>9603227
>>9603125
It's been a really long time sense I beat GoS...but I'll try and give you some tips.
I found Aya to be the best tank for that fight. Use hinatori skydance, put her in the middle, and have her use her accuracy/evasion field. This should mostly handle Anastasia. Sence you're using Aya, Sakuya would be a good choice too. She can really play hell with the boss with that one skill that gets her a few free turns; time it right and give her enough bombs and the right point spread and you can totally skip one of this sisters; I forget who I did, though...whoever I could tear up the most with her Mabale...Mamble...that dagger from the instagib fairies in stage 20, I think.
I had Mokou on the first time as well. Don't have her burn
Anastasia, use her fujiwara volcanos on Biotopos or Lithos instead. I think I focused her on Biotopos.
I'm pretty sure my remaining two members were Marisa and Satori; Marisa because she could hit the weakness of whoever was up and boost fire, Satori for the same and also her healing and starlight barrier and leaf shield, which would block any hits that got through Aya's evade buff.

>>9603277
Let this be a lesson to you; don't anyone fall behind in levels.

>>9603125
>>9603227
What exactly are you having problems with on the first phase? Also I'd refrain from the turtlesmasher and use the best fist you have for better damage against the last sister instead to save bombs. If you can get Mokou with 0 cooldown Fujiyama Volcanos and 6 bombs total then that should be enough for the first phase assuming Marisa isn't slacking behind, and Satori has a fire and lightning attack to supplement whenever she's not healing or supporting. Also I remember foregoing the ice stardust attacks on Marisa and just giving her the medium strength area attack fire and lightning spells so fire land went up relatively quickly.

If you're literally dying before you do enough damage then it's a problem with your defense, not your offense. If it's because you run out of MP or bombs then you're not killing the first form fast enough or using your resources right.

>>9603255
If you're using Byakuren try using her to lower Komachi's PATK. In addition to the field manipulation you'll notice even her big attacks doing surprisingly low damage

>>9603311

I hadn't even considered that. I was just playing how I normally play jrpgs that give you more characters you can use aka picking however many is a full party and sticking with them throughout the game. I can see now why it might be beneficial to do otherwise

>>9603306
That's a really good point. Huh.

>>9603314

Wow, I'm doing someone really wrong, I don't even have that character

>>9603326
Nononono, it's fine! You're not supposed to have Byakuren at that point in the game; there's a cheat of sorts to pick her up from the very start of the game, like with Mokou.

>>9603255
Evasion. No, seriously, just buff yours with Sanae, use Nitori's formation and her coinspam will never hit you.
Same thing goes for Tewi in the future.

>>9599824
>>9601508
of course it was japanese locale, and problem persists

>>9603346

Don't you take that tone with me young man

>>9603346
Were you in japanese local from the start? Like from before you downloaded it?
Do you have direct X 9?

>>9603357
yes and yes, this is the first time I actually have a problem with running a jap game

>>9603346

I know there were some game like Touhou Boushuen that wouldn't function properly if your regional setting weren't set to Japanese. You could try that. I'm not on a computer running windows 7 right now so I don't know how to change it, but it should be pretty easy to find in the control panel

>>9603358
I dunno what to tell you. Maybe weekend's different?

>>9603346
Just get the new GOS.
Why the fuck are you are you doing running that on 2.08 POS.
The original GOS has a fuck ton of bugs and crashes.

>>9603373
And the last patch for vanilla GoS fixed almost all of them.

>>9603373
its supposed to be 3.0 weekend, i think its not loading properly for me for some reason

>>9603381
I found your problem.
It said 2.08.
Delete your whole folder and try again.

Just did three things and one of these fixed it:
1. put eng locale for a moment, and switched back to jap
2. reinstalled dx9
3. re extracted the rars

seems to be fine now, thanks

I had to make this, Mokou is fun but does she have a drawback.

>>9603893
Awakened Soul.

>>9603893
5000+ damage Fujiyama Volcano + being rather hard to kill with the right gear.

Problem, bosses?

>>9603991
I don't get it

>>9603997
One of Sakuya's key spells takes 49 mana, it basically stops the game for two turns and lets Sakuya do what she pleases.

>>9603991
Sakuya is so god damn overpowered when paired with Byakuren against an enemy/boss with a weakness.
Acc buff+Elemental/dark/light sword+Murder doll = So much damage.

>>9604014
Sakuya becomes rather underpowered by end game in my opinion.

She's fragile as fuck, chews through her MP and bombs very quickly, and requires an accuracy buff to consistently hit anything.

And you can pretty much just pair Byakuren up with one of the other damage characters like Mokou and Youmu with an attack buff instead of an accuracy buff.

Now Youmu was OP by endgame. Defense wasn't too bad, has like 9 bombs naturally, and pretty much just destroys things with her skills which are already super accurate and have ludicrously high crit chances. She pretty much carried me through the Gorgon Barrier.

>>9604216
I think a knife-wielding Sakuya using the Murder tree can still be pretty darn effective at clearing.

Is there any way to use commander's spell when you want it?

>>9604435
No, it will always be cast at the start of the turn.

Do Chaser activations for Nitori have to come on the same turn the Chaser skill is used?

>>9603893
you suck.

>>9605450
How? My Mokou only hits like 10k if she crits.

>>9605468
Buffs, slayer effects, etc.

>>9604014
You don't even need an accuracy buff, just slap some high tier Headshot Goggles on her and she will (almost) never miss. Her two-handed swords are so god dan amazing.
>>9604216
Tell that to my Sakuya being part of the pre-expansion final dungeon clearing squad. One PS and all those super Mind Flayers were dead.
Of course, in order to make her useful you need to keep her equipment up-to-date, but that's a non-issue with Weekend anyway.
>>9604262
And this could work too, although I haven't tried it yet.
>>9605413
Yes. Nitori uses chaser -> someone uses an elemental attack -> Nitori chases it. Fun fact, if you're using weapons with a chance to hit more than one target, her chasers will be able to hit more than one target sometimes, and sometimes she may even chase herself with a physical chaser. Also, multi-hit moves trigger multi-hit chaser attacks, which means Lithos + Nitori is a fucking amazing combo at the start of the expansion.

I've totally stopped playing after reaching garden of the sun, I might get back into it.

My primary tank is Mokou, but I've no idea how I should prioritize my damage dealers though. Should I level them up in lower level zones so they are all at the same level? Or should I pick a select few and power-level them like crazy? Also, Is it worth waiting the hour or whatever to get Byakuren? (I'd ask a million more question but I don't feel like wasting your time)

Picture is my current party.

>>9605506
Aya is shit besides spamming dodge to party.
You need Alice, I shit you not, once you get used to her you realise she's the most important party member there is. She's THAT good.

>>9605514
Alright, so I guess I'll return to lower zone and level up Alice a bit.

Any tips for grinding exp quickly?

Aaah, I want to play this again...
Got questions about weekend. Are the boosted drop rates/lowered equipment costs only on easy mode? Can you turn easy mode off and on while playing? I heard you don't lose your stuff when you die; is that only on easy mode? How do the boosted drop rates compare to the drop rate patch? Does Satori get a learning boots?

>>9605506
Keep those levels even. No Touhou gets left behind.
Mokou...isn't a very good tank. She's got the durability angle covered, but she's got no way to make enemies hit her or protect the rest of the party, besides her costly auto-rez skills. She CAN work if you use the right formation, but you can't really rely on her like Alice.

You don't need Byakuren.

>>9605527
Commander slot Alice and keep moving forward.

>>9605527
Experience in GoS is on a generous curve. Lower level characters get lots of bonus experience in higher level areas. Level your lowbies in the highest level place you can.

>>9605522
Read the thread

>>9605545
Mokou can still tank if all her teammates are dead.

>>9605572
I already did. Didn't help.
Also worried about the glitches/slowdown Weekend's apparently got.

>>9605545
Alright, this'll be annoying.
Everyone is at 17-26 but Alice/Nitori are level 14.

Would Killing some strong monsters with super-powerful spells on a high level, running to save point to get bombs/life again and then repeating be efficient? I could just party all my lower levels together and do it that way.

>>9605650
That's what you get for thinking Alice needed help tanking a physical hit.

Okay. So. What the fuck.

>>9605673
helpful death hints

Is there an efficient way of farming Trapezohedrons in the expansion? I want to make the Bombs +5 artifact but my autism won't let me.

>>9605673
So what happened?

>>9605693
I umm... put up a party to defeat the sisters. It was effective. Then I get to this phase and I'm destroyed in one turn.

>>9605708
What did they say when the second phase ended? "Urgh you're tough" or "Are you going easy on us?"

>>9605522
Higher drop rates/learning rates are regardless of easy mode. You don't lose items anymore either. Easy mode just makes monsters weaker, might increase exp scaling more. (Exp rate was made better even in normal mode). you can switch modes any time in the menu.

>>9605715
The latter. I didn't manage to bring them down. I haven't read the walkthrough for this yet. What happens when you defeat the second phase?

>>9605691
Disregard that, it drops often enough from monsters.

>>9605742
Right.
You need to finish phase 2 before they chant three times. In other words, you've got until the end of the ninth turn to do 50000 damage, though you can screw that up with Sakuya.
If you let them chant three times they'll immediately start stage three, and then you are FUCKED FUCKED FUCKED. The enhanced final form has 100000 more hp, 999 regain, no slayer weakness, a stronger divine barrier, and FOUR ACTIONS PER TURN.

What I did was throw everything party one had left at stage two before switching to the second party. Any leftover bombs from Mokou and Sakuya, etc. Then when they couldn't fight no more I switched to my second party and prepared the buffs I'd need for stage three before having Youmu kill stage two in a buffed up attack or two.

>>9605835
Good. I can now pulverize the first two phases with Mokou and Byakuren.
But what's with the third phase? It's fucking brutal.

>>9606137
Byakuren should be in party two buffing Youmu

This game is like 90% grinding 10% gameplay.

>>9606152
I'm afraid that's how it'll have to be. Are the Kusanagi or Youmu's God-slaying swords "mandatory"?

>>9606173
You can properly enchant elements and buff if you don't have those. You're probably screwed if you didn't level Nitori either, though.

>>9606173
No but it makes things 10 times easier.

>>9606169
Only if you're terrible.

>>9606173
Honestly? Yeah.

The third phase IS brutal. Lots can go wrong very quickly, to the point that she'll always do SOMETHING to screw you over every time. Deal with it.
Three things to note. One, she's got vortex. I'm sorry. The plus side is that she doesn't use it terribly often. Two, you can't let a land gauge fill up all the way. If you do she'll drain it, healing herself for a ton and using a really strong attack on your whole party. Patchy is good in the second phase for that. Three, you should hit the ground running by buffing up at the end of phase two. Youmu should be able to finish phase two off very quickly if your first party softens it up enough; you only need to kill it by the ninth turn, and a turn 8 kill is just as good as a turn 5 kill.

>>9606245
>Only if you're terrible.
Nah.

The grinding REALLY gets boring in the midle of the game.

>>9606224
What do you suggest I do with Nitori? To be honest, I did keep her leveled up but I have never really used her. I can't manage to make her do non-pathetic damage.

>>9606281
Put 25 points in Gun.

>>9606257
No, really.
You don't need to grind in this game until the final boss, and if you do, you don't have to do very much.

>>9606383
I tried playing this game again(I've played the jap release), if you want to keep all your party leveled up and/or get items, you DO have to grind.

Stop lying.

>>9606281
Rage eight with accuracy accessories. You'll love it.

>>9606399
But see, I've played through the whole game too. Guess how often I needed to grind?
Twice. Once when Byakuren was one level lower than she needed to be, and again at the final boss, when Youmu needed TWO more levels and I wanted the Kusanagi. THAT'S IT. About an hour and a half's worth of grinding, maybe two hours, give or take.

I'm sorry (not really,) but you're just not right. Unless you want a ridiculous amount of items or if you're just trying to bum-rush your way through everything, and assuming you properly keep your team leveled up, you don't need to grind much at all. Period.

>>9606399
You do know EXP scales depending on level you know? When you stick a low level character in your party they level up faster, doing one dungeon with a character you've never touched gets really close to your party level.

I've NEVER grinded levels until I reached the final boss, levels hardly change anything, it's all equipment and growth.

>>9606441
>>9606443
Stop lying.

>>9606450
This game was made by people who like RPGs, just like us. We ALL know that grinding is a pain. Do you honestly thing they'd set up their own game so that grinding was a constant necessity?
What level were you approximately at when you beat the final boss?

>>9606450
Fuck off, you are not me.
>>9606441
> properly keep your team leveled up
You have to grind for that, also even if they are low level it seems to take a lot of time to they level up.
If the grind level was like Pokemon I would have enjoyed this game a lot.

>>9606480
The expansion would leave you speechless when you put a level 1 Cirno in your party, and for some reason she's around level 40 in like 5 battles, take her for a few bosses and she has caught up to your party level (around 60).

I set to farm the ten Irons I'm missing to make the Kusanagi, but after one drop I'm already tired. It's too painful. I wasn't good for this at MMORPGs either.
Should I craft the remaining Irons? My mind says no (27 materials to get 9), but my heart says "Yes! Yes! Do it and go teach those sisters a lesson!"

>>9606527
Update to weekend, 5 iron cost, oh boy. Unless you like low drop and learning rates. The easy mode for fights doesn't count for bosses and can be turned off.

>>9606532
Eh, I can't help but see Weekend as "Easy modo" as a whole.

>>9606480
No you don't. Use the commander slot. Cycle out members in and out of your party; don't stick to the same five all the time. When one party member runs out of bombs/MP, don't keep her in or run out of the dungeon, switch her out for somebody else.

>>9606527
10? Pffft.
I was stingy as all hell with my iron in my playthrough, so I only needed...well, about as much as you do, actually. Cept I needed 30 for my Kusanagi.
How much bamboo and stuff do you have?

>>9606532
>>9606553
I'd be fine with it if it wasn't for the price drop in equipment. 5 iron for the best weapon in the game is absurd.
Also still want to know how the weekend drop/learn rate compares to the patch we made.
Also apparently laggy interfaces.

>>9606554
>No you don't.
Yes you do. I've already done that.

>>9606554
11 Bamboo, 19 Rocks, 18 Magic Medals.
The only things I've crafted are a Sword for Sakuya (annoying bunnies back in Eientei) and now the Bombs +5 artifact for Mokou.

>>9606572
Wha...
That's it? Wow.

>>9606569
Well I did too, and I needed next to no grinding.
I don't know what to tell you.

>>9606564
But only in the main game. It's too bad it doesn't get an upgrade like the other endgame weapons, such as Excalibur->Vivian's Excalibur. The slayer still carries it but it's not quite ultimate. It just happens to be strong against the regular final boss's final form. At least you still need material to make it. Plenty of other RPGs just give you the endgame weapon in a chest or cutscene before the final boss. How does additional grinding make it better?

Shucks, it'd have been cool to have Kusanagi upgrade to Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Heaven's Cloud Sword, its more formal name). You need all the powerup you can get to hope to brave the bonus dungeon.

>>9606572
>>9606527
Do you have the drop rate patch?

>>9606634
Other endgame weapons?

>>9606553
Those changes in Weekend are just too much. To me playing Weekend is like cheating. I'm used to the .1% drop rates and 1% learning from playing their older games. It just doesn't feel right playing their more recent games.

I never made the Kusanagi myself. 30 iron is too much for me. I just skipped it and made other things with the iron.

>>9606701
It depends on your playing style I suppose. As a collector it is insane though. I remember hacking in 150-200 Irons.

It was STILL not enough to make everything that needed it.

>>9606688
Nope. I used it once, for Hyper Fang Crush.

>>9606746
Ah.
I'd keep it on, honestly. It only boosts basic material drop rates (iron, bamboo, rocks, magic medals, pretty mirrors, and steel) and not by that much. It's nothing like Weekend.

>>9606553
Weekend was probably only released because they realized the amount of bullshit the game had. Abysmally low drop rates for pretty much everything and you need 30 of an item to make something? I doubt that you'll get to that number of Iron by the end of the game even if you don't craft anything. Same thing for Satori's skills, what the fuck were they thinking with that 1% rate?
People are only complaining about how much easier the game is in that regard because bullshit mode came first.

Anyway, I assure you that the difficulty of the game, outside of the drops, is the same old thing.
>>9606564
I agree that dropping it to only 5 Iron is too much, in my opinion about 10 or 15 would be enough, especially given the higher drop rate of it in Weekend.
Also, the drop rate changes are all better. The old patch basically doubled it on all for the basic materials and nothing else; Weekend's raises it for everything and they get higher with stronger monsters as well.

>>9606933
>>9606933
Urgh...I don't like the sound of that. I mean, I want a higher drop rate for the stuff from those stage 21 minibosses, and a basic material boost is good, but...that's pretty much it.
If you're getting more basic materials AND more character-specific stuff AND stuff costs less already, the game's going to be significantly easier.

>>9606949
Your definition of difficulty is really strange. Pretty cool that weekend is a separate install so you can just pick one, though.

>>9607001
Items=Power
Making items easier to get means the game gets easier.

>>9606399
All you need to do is change your party often (once every dungeon is enough) and put whatever new character you got in the commander slot for a dungeon or so, and you'll never have to grind levels. The only things you needed to grind in 2.x were items and Satori's skill, and those have been made a lot easier in Weekend.
>>9606527
And this is why Weekend exists.
>>9606949
I find the game a lot better like this, with the difficulty being focused on dealing with enemies, bosses and whatnot instead of a heavy resource management. Before Weekend, you weren't allowed to experiment with new weapons or equipment at all, since one mistake meant you would be short in materials for the really useful stuff later on, and this is so bad that plenty of people completely ignore the whole crafting part of the game because of that (and then end up having to grind more Iron anyway for the Kusanagi). With Weekend, you should have enough items to make at least the most useful weapons, I guess, if not most of the equipment with stats that could be useful at the point you're stuck.

Also, obviously, Satori. Don't tell me you enjoyed grinding for her 1% skills (which were often completely useless, like all elemental breaths).

>>9607004
They're obtained in the exact same fashion, though. You're equating time spent with difficulty- that's what I find strange.

>>9607025
I didn't spend time collecting those items though. I went through the game with whatever I found. If the drop rate was higher and items took less materials I could make more items. Which means the game would have been easier for me.

>>9607036
Not to mention I died sometimes and lost items. Weekend gets rid of that.

>>9607024
I understand what you're saying, but Weekend sounds like it makes it TOO easy to get items. The raw game was bullshit, and the patch helped a lot, but this is to much.

>>9607043
You make it sound like they raised all drop rates to 50% or something around that. While it is true that you will see drops more often, they didn't get common enough for you to be drowning in them. At least, now grinding can be a good way to get those items that had 0.1% drop rates in the past.
The only absurd changes happened with the basic expansion monsters, in my opinion. For example, fairies in the second Muenzuka have a 25% chance to drop the basic materials.

Reposting the link to the changes once again.
http://www26.atwiki.jp/touhou_souzin/pages/251.html#id_8730d101

>>9607036
We all did. There's effort (and nearly all of the weapon spriting) put into the crafting system that very few people bothered to use.

It's pretty understandable that they'd want people to be able to see their efforts. Not like you can brute force without strategy by any stretch because you have the option to put a fan on aya that isn't meant for 20 levels ago now or something.

All right, I'll give weekend a shot, just too...

...what the hell is this thing taking up like half the screen?

>>9607267

>>9607277
It's a map. Be grateful for it, because oh god it makes some places like the Netherworld so much easier to navigate.

>>9607277
NOT SO MINI-MAP. NEVER BE LOST.

NEVER

>>9607287
>>9607285
Who needs a map?

>>9607287
I'm not grateful at all. Put it on the pause menu or something.
How do I get rid of this stupid thing?

>>9607319
Hit select (Default D?) to toggle transparency.

>>9607328
Oh, thank you so much.

What's with that very noticeable pause whenever you open a chest?

Dangerously cute.

>>9607351
Probably the game trying not to explode.

All right, this weekend thing isn't going to work. To much random slowdown here and there, especially considering how smooth the raw game was.
But besides that...I just don't give a shit about dying. Why bother? I don't lose anything besides some walking time. In the raw game, if a fight took a turn for the worse, it was thrilling to see if I could escape or etch out a victory. It was intense. But now...who cares?

If you're getting slowdowns you might want to mess with the VRAM options in the game config.exe Try the second option and set it to 小　'little'

>>9608478
What's that do?

And hey, I just got an idea. Could I copy a save from the original GoS to Weekend to grind some materials and craft stuff, then copy it back to the original?

>>9608511
You could, but that's pretty lame in my opinion

>>9608517
How so?

>>9608466
I'm only getting that slowdown on the main manu and Rinnosuke's crafting thing; the field, battles and cutscenes work as well as they've working since 2.07.

And... yeah. Now that you mention that, the game surely feels less thrilling -- I mean, if you want a quick way out of a dungeon to heal up, all you need to do is hit F12, then step on a healing circle and go back in again. They could have solved this kind of issue by making the healing system like in DoD: you die wherever, okay, you can go back to where you were, but if you want to heal your MP back up, every monster you've killed will respawn.

Well, at least with the game like this I won't have to worry about getting a rare drop and then being visited by a rape train while the RNG does it s best to prevent me from escaping.

>>9608573
>>9608573
Are the rare drops still frustratingly rare, though? I mean, I'm sure REALLY REALLY rare stuff like diamonds and devil hearts are still rare as fuck, but...

>>9608600

nothing is what I would consider "rare" in weekend

>>9608613
the only thing rare are the enemies
when Mokou grills them

>>9608619
see
>>9603893

>>9608640
see
>>9603908
>>9605450

Why on earth does it do so much damage, Yuyuko isn't particularly deathly weak to fire, there's no slayer bonus.

>>9608724
Because Mokou is a beast, and Yuyuko IS pretty weak to fire and has literally no physical defense.

>>9608724
What weapon is Sanae using?

All this argument between grinding and not makes me want to do a video play-through of this game. But that would be a lot of work...

Anyone else restrict characters to using their unique weapon type?

>>9609975
I keep Sanae with something that either gives her more mana or reduced mana cost + fast casting

>>9610004
She casts her heals and buffs fast enough already.

I'm still playing the old version.
How do I get the latest? Or is there no point getting it until I beat the original game?

Also, the main question I wanted to ask: How much of a priority is gear, and is it worth synthesizing new gear from Rinnosuke? I just got up to Eintei, and the party split has left me with underlevelled characters and no gear.

>>9610072
There's links in this thread. Weekend is a balancing patch with some added features nothing new game about it. Gear is very important but you don't need an upgrade every dungeon, you'll run out of character specific items very quickly even with weekend.

I tried to beat the final boss (main game) with a party between level 51-69 and got buttmangled at phase 2.

I don't feel like grinding levels or irons to craft better equipment...and my Reimu is so useless...

>>9610072
Define old.

Some of Rinnosuke's gear is worth it, some of it isn't. The unique weapons for Sakuya, Mokou, Youmu, and Nitori are all good. Don't buy weapons for other girls; they can use staves just as well. You'll probably want the best evasion fan for Aya, the induction scroll for Byakuren, and Alice's rainbow greaves at some point, though. Marisa's brooms can be worthwhile too, but not to a large extent.
Most of the armor isn't worth it. Generally if you're buying a character's unique weapons, you shouldn't be buying them unique armor. The accessories can be worthwhile, though, especially the runestones and defensive things.

>>9608600
Two enemies got their diamond drop rate raised from 1% to 2%, one from 0.5% to 2.5%, and an expansion one from 4% to 5%.
Gold was raised to 1% on all 0.1% monsters, added to Muenzuka's Lesser Demon at 5%, added to Principality at 5% as well, raised to 12.5% in the final dungeon, got a few other drop rates between 5% and 10%, and raised to 15% on the expansion monster that got its diamond drop rate increased as well.
Your judgment on whether it's still damn rare or not. I believe it's only more accessible right now instead of 0.1%.

>Don't buy weapons for other girls; they can use staves just as well.
Marisa's brooms are pretty useful, simply because with them she can recover 6 MP per turn. The reduced delay and added bonuses don't hurt, either.
Reimu would really benefit from the added light damage from a good gohei as well.
Also, get Sakuya's armor that gives her a 15% to act twice and nothing else.

>>9610156
>>9610156
I thought Sakuya's armor just made her multi-hit attacks get more hits more often. And I mentioned the brooms.

Are the gohei's really that helpful?

>>9610143
2.80 old, so I think I'll be alright.
As for gear, some of my characters still have armor from when I went through SDM and weapons from when they first joined my party.

I have to prepare for the Eintei split, How on earth do use Satori and Youmu efficiently?

Weekend is a separate install (you can move your saves though). It's more like a big patch though. It makes drop rates/learning better. Crafting requirements are lower too. Exp leveling and scaling is better as well, so that would help you level your team.

The game is http://www.mediafire.com/?a8c1by6btaid7
English patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?h27xpcu36r5za7r

You should apply the second link to the game in the first link because some changes have been made

>>9610180
Sakuya's armors actually let her atack twice in a turn, even though it's a rather small chance. No idea of how it stacks (if it does) with her passive double attack with two-handed swords, but with them on you can doublecast skills and whatever else. They're pretty neat.
The early goheis aren't anything special, but the latter ones definitely increase her damage a lot.
>>9610195
Satori needs some grinding to get her blue magic (considerably less so in Weekend, as some learning rates got a 1000% or higher increase), but you can still do somewhat well early on with her with Poison Arts alone. Just get her as much IND as you can, +poison damage equipment, and use that whenever you can.
Youmu needs to activate a stance to use the skills in that stance, after that she's one of the best damage dealer sin the game.

Does Weekend contain the content from Lingering Summer Heat?

>>9610215
Yes.

>>9610195
>As for gear, some of my characters still have armor from when I went through SDM and weapons from when they first joined my party.
Oh, come on. You've got to have more equipment than that.

>>9610225
I wish I wasn't joking.

I think I've wiped a few times in a drunken haze in previous dungeons, so I lost a lot of gear. I'll quickly start running through them to pick it all back up.

>>9610102
you might consider a formation like Master of All (the one Tenshi gives you). I beat phase 2 and 3 with it, no one died - even after that fucking stone shower (the party was fully buffed then)

Reimu does a pretty decent job at blocking Lithos' or Anas attacks

>>9610198
Alright, I've got weekend all extracted and it runs totally fine, however, I need to know how to convert my save file.

I drag/drop my old save into the weekend save files and run the .exe but nothing happens afterwards, It just gives me a save file called "haku" That is way behind where I currently am.

>>9610231
Oh. Yeah, that would be a good idea. You should at least have the stuff from chests.
This would be a good opportunity to get your lowbies up to stuff, learn some skills for Satori, get poision shield...that sort of thing.

I really wish there was a way to just get the improved drop rates and MAYBE the equipment discounts out of Weekend without the whole no consequence for death thing.

>>9610102
How the hell did you manage that big a level discrepancy?

>>9610241
Your save file is from 2.08, right? Then, just copy it to Weekend's save folder and it should work. That save converter thing is only there for 2.06 and below saves.

>>9610241
Sure you got the right one?

God, what the is wrong with 4chan lately?

>>9610250
Yeah, I realized I was copying over an older save file...
Too many backups in all the wrong places.

I'm going to get around to playing this one of these days.

The weapon Sanae is using here is a Rune Axe (since she can't use staves) for the magic reflect.

I just noticed that even though most tier 3 weapons had their recipes changed (to consume one less character-specific item), Nitori's and Satori's didn't, for whatever reason. That also seems to happen for their tier 5 and on weapons as well. What the hell.

>>9611900
That's bizarre. Especially considering Satori's weapons are pretty bad.

>>9611916
Does anyone use her eye weapons? It seems that a balanced physical satori is worthless.

>>9612115
I've tested that once (even with things like Acala Sword and Vacuum something), and my conclusion was that the only way a physically-oriented Satori can be somewhat useful is if you give her a spear -- those stab resistance -1 and cooldown -1 from the spear tree help her a lot. Still, they aren't enough to make her good, she'll still suffer from the lack of MP, and a magically-oriented Satori is a lot better anyway.

>>9612115
It's good for debuffing purposes.

Goddammit!

What level should my characters be for Eintei?

I'm just about to beat Medicine/Yuuka, but all of my characters are around level 25. Some guides say I should Have Some at 32...

>>9614681
Considering how you only get 50% of experience with a level 32 character in Eientei, I believe whoever made that guide is really horrible at this game.

>>9614648
>>9614648
The worst.
