damn, the last one went down faster than 200 yojana in 1 slash.

I'm facing the pre-expansion final battle. I wonder if this will ever become anything more than hopeless without resorting to guides and stuff.

>>8162030
pic says it all

where did all GoSers go?

The last few updates have been pretty boring. Today's just talks about something they've talked about before. They changed the script to show around 100 items instead of 8 from their last game. You can also sort items in diffrent ways to make it easier to find what you want.

The next 'important' update is supposed to be on December 1st. Hopefully they show us something new then.

エンチャンテッドクイーン
[状態異常：魅了（高－）]

>>8164843
Reminds me of item library in Yggdra Union. Does each main character still get their own unique weapon in this game?

>>8164937
None of the icons in that screenshot look like they would be a unique weapon and I haven't seen them talk about character specific weapons or armor yet.

The guy doing the updates said he wanted to do one a day until c81 so maybe we will hear about them before then.

Oh boy, nothing better than using Starlight Barrier/Possessed by Phoenix and getting Vortex'd in the same turn!
I fucking love you, game. I really do.

alright chums, I give in. Even my most risky tactics result in just the first phase of the pre expansion final boss going down after like an hour, if I'm lucky.

Tell me your secrets, how do I melt these damn sisters in about 15 minutes. Patchouli poking with Thunderbolts at Anastasis just won't do.

Can I run this through Wine?

I don't feel like having a whole VM running just for this thing.

So yesterday I just got started against Alice, struggled for a bit, finally beat her after getting lucky once, and then the cutscene froze.
I raged pretty hard, and closed the window, ready to quit to play Skyrim or something.
But then I immediately opened it back up and beat her again with some effort.

I love this game.

>>8166383
Runs almost perfectly in Wine. I had to install native quartz (just "winetricks quartz") to see the skill animations (like the one in the OP pic), but I think that's it. Oh, and the last few letters of some item/skill names are sometimes cut off - probably just a font issue.

For some reason, setting it to emulate win95 still helps with some crashes. Oddly enough, it still crashes far less often than with native XP SP3.

>>8166348
First phase: Hit elemental weaknesses with Marisa and Patchouli with Nitori using chasers. Use Sanae to heal/buff your party and Alice for tanking. Lithos's Vortex/Spell card can be a pain in the ass, so make sure you absorb those with Little legion. Keep in mind she (most of the time) use those in her second turn.

Second phase: Elemental attack + chaser. You can also use Patchouli's dark attack to rise the dark land. They use a Stone Shower like attack that can kill most of your party if Alice isn't using her shield skills. Thanks God they don't use it very often and it doesn't hit THAT hard neither. Just before you beat this phase, try to lower the land's power with Patchouli. You DO NOT want to go into the thirt phase with a land's power at max (except dark).

Thirt phase: I can't help you with this one. I have yet to beat this phase myself. Just one thing: Pray to the Moriya shrine she doesn't boost and absorb the land's power and nuke you into oblivion. You can use always use Starlight Barrier/Possessed by Phoenix to block that, yes, but... >>8165860

>>8166468
Got it, thanks.

seems that I'm in cursed to get my characters at least until the early 60s before the final boss.

There is no better method to grind besides blue robots, huh.

>>8168650
I rather grind at stage 21, chance to get cool items, like High Ribbon, Drake Scale, Excalibur, and many more.

>>8168984
those guys are so upsetting though. Sphinxes Refreshing each other unless I use Colosso world, risking defeat? Not cool...

also, am I mistaken, or is stuff in treasure chests in that stage lost forever if you are defeated in battle?

New main character: Hong Meiling
Short summary: Remilia, Flan, Sakuya, and Patchouli have been spirited away. To save her masters she sets off alone to resolve this incident.

Not with that art style they aren't.

>>8172450
huh, why 2.02?

I am so jealous of the guys who beat the game pre-expansion, when Sakuya was god tier.

I plan on getting every skill for Satori.

How fucked am I?

>>8172804

A lot.

>>8172450
page 1.

I wonder if beating the game without using any equipment except weapons or never spending growth points is possible.

>>8172926
I'm not sure how you would even get past Alice without armor.

>>8172926
Impossible. Status effects in this game actually matter unlike in 99% of other JRPGs.

You WILL get fucked up.

>>8172979
I'm currently waiting for my Byakuren, I unequipped all armor upon starting the new game.

>>8172982
There's still Sanae's RES buff and certain formations gives protection too.

Christmas is comin- OH SHIT

Nothing important in today's update.

What are the requirements for the sonic stream formation? I need more speed, Sanae is too slow.

>>8175214
Use Report on at least 11 enemies with Aya, be past stage 6. Heal at the shrine with Aya in party.

After a lengthy session of wrassling with the last boss, I've finally got it down to the 3rd phase. Oh yes.

Double holy zapper to the back row of my poison shield formation, pow. Shit slapped on the first turn. Thats only the beginning, I suppose.

I'm frustrated, fuck.

>>8176967
you mean pre expansion?
I just stared for a minute when I read that he has a normal and a Lunatic mode. What I encountered was Lunatic. Of course I had a very wrong first impression. The fucker doesn't even have a youkai type on Lunatic.

>>8177345
By Youkai type, you mean Foreign God type right?

>>8177743
yes. That's why Youmu with the Tier 6 Katana is a favorite in this battle.

....I'm still grinding. This is somewhat tedious. I will give the sisters another shot as soon as everyone's 60

this is getting silly.
Is it "Radiate"? "Rage Eight"? "Lazy Eight"?

also, Spitfire is an awesome skill.

Lazy Eight is correct and Rage Eight is wrong.

One of the guys that made the music for the first game won't be making any for the second. I believe he did most of the battle/boss music.

>>8183723
That's too bad. Oh well, I will probably upload the new one as well.

game crashed when i got into battle

how do i fix that?

q

>>8184375
Japanese locale, Windows 95 compatibility, etc.

>>8183723
Man, that's too bad.
I hope they still manage to not fudge the music, it was the second best thing about Genius of Sappheiros.

>>8183723
He only contributed a few songs to this game but he is well known on the Japanese side. He's been in pretty much every Hatchimitsu Kumasan game and this game is pretty much 99% HatchiKuma.

It's not going to be the same fighting a boss without a new version of "OUT" playing in the background.
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm11831328
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJyYZJ-aLoo

I've always used Youmu's Slash of Eternity for boss fights, but now the wiki is telling me to use her Asura stance instead.

Which one should I use?

>>8188537
is "OUT" a GoS-exclusive song?
I think I should name all the songs in my upload. There are those translated song names ingame at the bottom right corner... is there a whole list of them somewhere?

>>8188588
I'm at the pre-expansion final boss by the way.

>>8188588
Manussya gives awesome ACC boosts. Makes her much better with Axes and Swords...

How high's the level of your girls? My party is 60 and I still get destroyed there pretty awfully.

>make it to Tenshi
>killed in first turn
feels bad man

>>8188647
That fight is basically all about Alice, or more specifically a well-geared Alice. It's kind of funny how you can go from getting wiped in the first few turns to taking next to 0 damage by just giving her the correct shield.

Also, what the fuck is wrong with posting today? Looks like my posts only go through 1/3 of the time.

>>8188588

Manussya is hands down the best stance (besides Youmu's final skill). Always use Slash of Eternity/Satellite Slash for bosses.

>>8188609
oh, dumb me, asking without googling a little. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm10839536

>>8188641
My parties are lv 60-68 except for Reimu and Mokou(both lv 57)

First phase is easy.
Second phase is kind of tricky because of the 9-turns limit, but its not a big problem.
I'm still getting my ass handed by phase 3. Youmu is not doing near enough damage most of the time, not even with Satellite Slash. It's like she completely forgets how to Crit hit when she enters phase 3.

New patch out.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c1cityso8bcs9ki

>>8188745

Whats new?

>>8188717

Are you not using her Doujigiri? Or even Kusanagi? With Byakuren giving her Dark Weapon she should be doing about half of the boss's hp if she crits.

>>8189160
I'm using Kusanagi. With Satellite Slash+Dark sword+max dark land power she does about 1/3 of the boss HP when she crits some of the hits.

Am I doing something wrong?

>>8189601

Uh, I assume you have attack buffs right?

Are you using Meltdown with Byakuren?

>>8189645
>I assume you have attack buffs right?
Yes.

>Are you using Meltdown with Byakuren?
Never thought of using Meltdown on her, I'll try that. Thanks.

>>8189701
You can stack meltdown, pdef down, and all stats down.
That's how you can get several characters to do 100k damage.

looking forward to fighting curvy lasers and stuff

>>8189805
Does stacking defense down actually help? I mean once you get their defense close to 0, it shouldn't matter anymore right? Or is there negative defense?

I tried getting satori blue magic as soon as I got her, and she died in one hit to the fairies at SDM, but still learned a spell.

Why is Cirno such a fucking awful character?

All she does in random encounters is die, and even with good gear she does absolutely no damage compared to everybody else. On top of that, she has no utility because her status effect doesn't proc nearly enough as it should.

But here I am, being autistic and angry as I level her anyways.

>>8196402
Level 1 Cirno can solo some of the 7 star quests. Don't go hating on her if you don't know how to use her.

>>8197287
It does not really matter if she can solo some of the level 7 quests.
I have to agree with the other poster that Cirno is not that good, but she isn't that bad either.

Mmmm... At last. Listening to that victory fanfare after days of struggling with the last boss. I feel warm. At peace.

Thanks, Youmu.

Patchouli is a master. I thought she might have been a shikigami this game because she got spirited away. That gives me hope for some of the others to be masters now.

Battle movie should be coming soon by what they said in today's update.

>>8197607
They will upload a battle video tommorow.

>>8197607
Is Patchy using Cthulu as a shikigami there?

Also, is the masters list so far: Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Mokou, Okuu, Patchy, Meiling, Yukari and Byakuren?

So yesterday I installed the game and It's all kinds FUN, but If this shit is going to crash on me every time I defeat a boss I will finally snap.
Fucking seriously 40min struggling with Alice and when I finally beat her 5dwarfs a SUDDEN ERROR comes up immediatelu after a cutscene.
I can't even imagine how does It feel later in the game

>>8197796
Just skip the cutscenes. It's not like you're missing out on any actual plot, as the game pretty much just goes through the Toohoo motions we all know. And the sign in Hakurei shrine tells you where the next dungeon you need to go to is, so you don't have to worry about getting lost.

>>8197805
Well, seems like an option

Even though I enjoy the dialogues

>>8197796
Are you in Japanese locale? Do you have direct x 9?

>>8197848
Yes and yes. Everything according to the instructions.

Anyway, the urge for revenge is rising in me. I think I'm going to beat this game just because the crashes made It personal. Fuck It, I'm going full autist

>>8197869
I see these sorts of revenge games with RPGs as less autism and more obsessive compulsive.

And revenge is the tastiest compulsion.

Godspeed you.

All mental illness is autism. No exceptions.

>>8197796
Are you playing in Windows 95 or XP compatibility mode?

Also most crashes happen at end of cutscene you you can take a risk and only skip scene when you think it's ending.

>>8197723
It looks like some type of Mind Flayer from the first game.

I believe those are all the masters we know about so far, but we haven't seen Yukari or Hijiri in battle yet. I guess we'll know for sure when they upload the battle video. It's also supposed to show us another special feature about the game.

i cant install this game i tried running with windows 95 compatibility, and running changing the language to Japanese, and getting directx 9.

The game crashes in the first cutscene when marisa is talking, if i skip it the game crashes.

is there something else i could try, also what are the systems requirements this is a really old computer i got mugged the other day.

with this computer i can run shoot the bullet just fine.

>>8197529
Wow, I had that EXACT same layout when fighting the final boss. Don't tell me Nitori was your commander as well.
>>8197544
Player sprites still seem derpy to me, but holy shit those monster sprites. It's the exact opposite from GoS, funnily.

What's annoying me about SP so far is how they've said that Shikigami are going to be the most important thing, and that masters can only use them or use a normal attack. Which most likely means no Giga Flare spam. WHY
If it really ends up like that, Shikigami attacks are most likely going to use their "master"'s offensive/defensive stats, and that's likely going to be their only use in the game... oh well.

I found that closing the game as soon as a cutscene starts, and then starting it up again lets me play without crashes for pre and post boss cutscenes.

How do I increase the window size?

>>8199713
Lower you are screen resolution.

>>8199713
Press Alt for the menu (or change something in the config ini file, I don't remember what) so you can see it, then choose the window size in there.

How do you recruit Byakuren?

>>8200261
Throw yourself off a tall enough bridge the portal to Hijiri will open for you.

>>8200261
Stand around Myouren Temple for a FULL HOUR.

Small screenshots for their new game that I haven't seen anywhere else.

those threads were quite popular. I wonder if the next game will get similar attention. Many will probably wait for a translation.

>>8197616
The video they were going to release today got delayed.

>>8203019
If I recall correctly, this game had a few threads for some time after it was released, then when the translation got decent enough threads have gotten like this.
>>8203061
OH MY GOD A MAP.

>>8199503
Nitori, you got that right. The choice was between her, Sakuya and Satori, but neither of those two were useful as commanders. I can't even think of other layouts that can pull this fight off.

Went through all the phases with this single team.

>>8197529
>>8199503
>>8204273
So it was only Patchouli and Youmu laying on the damage? Did it take long, have you had MP issues?

>>8204316

Uhh dude with that setup Youmu can do half or more of the boss's hp in one Satellite.

>>8204316
Youmu is enough to bring them down if she's properly buffed.

>>8204343
>>8204349
and the other two phases? No matter what I do, physical won't scratch the three sisters

>>8204358
By 'them' I mean the final phase. I used another team for the first two phases.

As for actually doing damage with Youmu during their final phase, craft her the Doujigiri Yasutsuna first. Make sure the light/dark land has at least a single point in dark. A single point in light can fuck you over, since the boss can fill its land if it's active. Buff Youmu with Byakuren's ATK up and make her element dark via Byakuren's buffs, too. Use the Manussya Stance and start ripping them to shreds with Slash of the Present. Alternatively, you can use her Satellite Slash.

You can also debuff the final phase's def, but I'm pretty sure that won't last very long. They have a passive skill that's similar to Sanae and Reimu, which removes harmful statuses by the end of the turn.

>>8204358
>>8204472
As for the second phase, you shouldn't have a problem with this if your physical attacker is equipped with a Reptile slayer weapon (Mambele, Turtlesmasher).

Oh, and make sure to kill them fast or you'll have to battle a powered-up final phase.

>>8204316
Youmu and Patchouli dealt sufficient damage once I had everything set up. Water and Electric land powers raised, Byakuren buffing PATK, MATK, RES and electric element for Youmu. Really, everything was about Byakuren setting things up. I focused primarily on Anastasis, to save Youmus MP. Though Patchy also hurt Biotopos.

I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to deal any damage with my 2nd team. I was hitting piss. Not to mention staying alive. No Alice to cover the others.

Amusingly enough, the 3rd phase only took 3 rounds.

i got a question, i just started playing the game a few days ago and am wondering if i should focus on only 6 characters or if i should grind up all of them

>>8206246
Unlike many RPGs, each and every character fills their own niche and you will need to use everyone at points in the game. Different stages/bosses might be much more manageable with certain characters.

On the other hand, exp scales, so characters that fall behind will get huge exp multipliers, so its up to you to decide how much you want to wait.

>>8204512
God Damn. That's the reason I could never beat that thing.

How did I never realise that? For some reason I always thought it was just the same either way and that phase was for party swapping/buffing. Damn.

>>8206255
You have nine turns during the second phase. I think they waste every third turn to chant. If they succeed the final boss has twice as much HP, no slayer weakness, and Suwako knows what else. Do not pursue Lu Bu.

Also, don't let any land max out or you will die. This is the one time Patchouli's land drain could into use so keep it at hand.

>>8206313
Yeah I never realised that and kept trying to fight the powered-up final boss not realising I had a choice. As you can imagine it did not end well. I think I remembered reading something that said not to bother wasting MP on them and just prepare for the next phase.

Eventually I got so pissed I just straight up downloaded a save file that started at the expansion and went from there. One day I'll do it properly now I know why nothing worked at all.

dude what

>>8203061
Video has been delayed again.　They say it will be done tomorrow.

Melon Books, Toranoana, and other shops have begun to put up their product pages. If you order from Melon you get a card that lets you use "Melon-chan" as a Shikigami.

The screenshot to the left shows Utsuho with a spear equipped and a bunch of spear skills to go along with it. I guess that's what they meant by Masters being able to only use attacks with their weapon. Her last word is Mega Flare.

>>8207732

Why would they do this? Fuck.

Well, maybe it`s still a little too early to see.

>>8207732
Video up.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm16381932

>>8175214
I come on... I thought I was done with those fucking bastards when I finished Final Fantasy 1 over 20 years ago.

>>8211205
It's pretty obvious if you've seen the video but you can now learn weapon skills by attacking with weapons in battle. Just like in the Romancing Saga games.

Nothing important story wise other than someone stealing Nitori's cucumber and her thinking she caught the culprit.
