/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Thanks for making a new thread!

I'll be trying a little for the next two or so hours. First try of the night, got here, and then the bastard decided to cast his stuff BEFORE Little Legion was cast! I'm just slightly upset at this, the try was going very well after all.

Can I get some tips on the boss in the OP image by the way? Last time I tried it took me about 20 turns to get him to 40% health.

>>11206461
Yup. Debuff him. But since you can't, then I can't really give any helpful tips.

I'm taking on the gorgon for the first time. Finally got my party set-up in order but got unlucky on stage 2 and couldn't pull off my glorious assault. Fuck my luck.
Should I grind for those special weapons first or keep trying?

Any suggestions against Genji and Matsuba? I can beat Genji with ease, but then I can't seem to damage Matsuba afterwards.

>>11206528
Well in particular, get the Kusanagi and Sakuya's Ice Sword. You can also get the Aegis Shield or just the Perseus Shield for Alice to use to prevent petrification

>>11206528
You absolutely don't need special weapons, the fight is fair enough. Only get those if you're desperate.

>>11206579
I just cleared that stage without even using Alice!
You can use Aya to EVA tank everything or Alice to spam Parrar, then just spam Electric magic (or with Byakuren enchanting someone) on Matsuba and just continue doing so on Genji afterwards. If you can do it, Genji is weak to Dark and Light, so that should work too.

>>11206579
You can use Sakuya's field spell to prevent healing when one of them is going to go down. I killed both on the same turn so that would be a better option

My party for the EX final boss. Also, Satori can tank.

>>11206634
Mine was very close to that, but with Lithos on the second party and Marisa on the third. Lithos tanking in the second party (dat Magic Barrier) and Remi EVA tanking in the first.

>>11206528
Yeah, there's definitely some luck involved. If they use stone shower a bunch/snipe someone important with minus you're likely fucked. The special weapons are unnecessary, but would be nice of course. Kusanagi and Youmu's foreign-god slaying weapon should be given serious consideration.

>>11207035
That Katana isn't special, it's the recipe you get after stage 17.

Does anyone know if the Zephyr Mantle stacks with innate perfect dodge? Seems like that would almost be too good.

I mean, I knew what it was, but this was my first time using it. Holy shit Remilia. Managed to snag both of them too!

>>11207289
It even works on these 2 bosses in DoD

>>11206634
What's your main damage dealer for the upper head? My Sakuya can take down the lower one almost on her own, but the other one takes too long and eventaully Meteors the shit out of my party. 1500-damage hits don't cut it.

>>11207405
I'm not him, but Sakuya and Yuugi.

>>11207353
I'll move on to DoD if I ever manage to defeat the final expansion boss, so I'll take the chance and ask: What are the missables there?
For GoS it would be learning Hyper Fang Crush, and getting some of the bosses' summons into the encyclopedia (and Aya's comment too, but that's beyond OCD). Everything else is repeatable.
Would you (or anybody else) be able to produce an analog list for DoD?

>>11207405
Before the lower head gets rekt, Yuugi and Remilia. Afterwards, Yuugi, Remi, Sakuya, and Nitori Rage 8ing it.

Man, the drop rates in garden of the sun 2 are very nice. Got 20 steel just going through it.

>>11207353
DoD is so pretty. Shame life is giving the translation team the bird. Also does story have more of a place in DoD? I mean, it's barely there in GoS.

>>11206623
That worked out really well actually, Thank you!

This is getting old!

Managed to get some damage on it this time(the lowest it's been so far), but every single try has been a trainwreck of misfortune. More often than not we get wrecked by Devil's 3-5 in the first or second turn, and with Elements still up, there's a really high probability of multiple deaths that early. No field spells apart from Miracle Hakkero to counter Edge of Resentment is also a bit of an issue. Might just grind a couple of levels for Marisa.

>>11210434
You may want to get Triple Spark which she'll learn at LVL 90. Also, I killed this boss numerous of times and I still haven't seen it use Edge of Resentment on me. It did use Devil's 3-5 on some occasion and of course the very unpredictable Time Stop. Screwed me once when Stop was inflicted on Alice after I cleared the elements

How I love debuffs working

>>11210555
Oh my. I just shat myself.

>>11210555
There is still an empty slot. Not enough bully.

>>11210478

I'll get her to 90 then, it's just a couple of levels after all. I didn't know it could use Time Stop!

filename. Throwing a darkness shield on Alice trivialized the whole thing, really. She took at max ~29 damage and was regenerating ~250 per turn thanks to Excalibur and lightning armor, which Patchy boosted the land levels of. Putting toxic on the thing helped. Hoping the upcoming bosses aren't such pushovers! I do like light being useful though. It was a pretty mediocre element in the main game.

>>11210434
Can you do the first phase consistently with minimum RNG collaboration?

Decided to play this game a bit again since it was mentioned last thread.

Managed to 2 star clear every stage at least. The game is as hard as I remember it. Especially without using the yin yang orbs, bombs, or Lithos.

The grind for cards in this game is kind of bothersome since the cards you get at the end of battles are random and it takes 9 of a low tier card to make a high tier one.

Nue, Mokou, and Shou drop from being defeated at the last stage so those were quick to grind at least.

The higher tier ranged enemies are real assholes.

Personal best. Highlight though would have to be the thing blinding itself with diabolic breath.

>>11211308
I don't get it. I can't clear the very first stage in Reimu's difficulty. I get 20 fairies that are each worth less than one enemy kedama. I must be missing something very obvious and basic.

>>11211648
For the first part, time your fairy uses.

Wait until the kedamas are into your field a bit then plant two fairies on it, one right in front of it and the other right on top of it. Both fairies will attack the one kedama. Do this right when they get closest to Reimu. You can also move your fairies so instead of planting them on a kedama you can instead move down or up two fairies on a different row.

You can also look left and right, I think I actually set those to RCtrl for looking left and 0 on the keypad for looking right so I could do it while moving around the selected square. Optimal buttons for this probably depend on your keyboard layout. Holding both look buttons and pressing whatever button A is set to will cause Reimu to bomb which will cause large damage to all enemies, but not kill them outright which makes them best used on the beginning of the very last wave in a stage. However, using them is somewhat pointless since you're defaulted to a bronze medal which doesn't give you the listed prize for the stage.

Lithos and Reimu's yinyang orbs only make you get silver if you use them, but you still get the prize with silver.

I was looking around for the Lithos code, but I couldn't find it.

>>11211648
>>11211749
Finally refound the Lithos code.

PXPYVWLG
Press Y at the start screen which has a picture of Reimu and Suika to go into the password input screen. Lithos is freakishly powerful for the game, but costs 4 slots in your deck. However, she's far more than worth that cost. It makes me wonder how powerful the other bonus characters are.

Nobody ever found any codes for the other characters and the code for Otoha on the wiki is wrong. Also I don't even know who Otoha is.

No need for Patchouli here. Same guy who did this >>11210600

Any good suggestion teams against Komachi? This is mine at the moment.

>>11211854
Did you inflict it with a permanent?

>>11211897
The main thing is making sure you don't die to money from yesterday. You can raise light land to neuter the damage or you can try to evade it. The latter may not work if you don't have Hijiri, I can't remember.

>>11211834
And by wiki I meant archive. Also, you can fuse 3 of a low tier card(grey) into a medium tier card(blue) of the same character and 3 medium tier cards into a high tier card(red). The difference is slight, but still somewhat significant.

Also stats, top stat is HP, below that is attack strength, in the middle is attack range, and the last two have to do with movement I think, never really figured it out.

Tewi, Nitori, Komachi, Shou, and Marisa can hit multiple enemies per hit.
Nitori has antiair enemy properties making her super effective versus certain enemies.
Mokou gets doubled attack speed at below half health.
Akyu heals units on the same column. Mystia buffs attack apparently, but I've never noticed the difference.
Kaguya has significant knockback.
Medicine damages whatever enemies are standing on her. She can not be removed in anyway and enemies don't hit her so be careful when placing her. She's best used at the very front column.

I still have no idea what the gimmicks of half the units are still despite beating the last stage already.

Also, Suika route is even more ruthless compared to Reimu's route which is saying something since this game is already hard as balls.

>>11211920
Who's skill raises light land? I don't think I have any that can.

>>11211948
Using elemental attacks of an element raises its land so Reimu or Byakuren. Patchouli as well, but you probably don't have enough growth points to get her light bomb to one cooldown.

>>11211948
Reimu learns it at 28. Can't remember if that's a reasonable level at that time.

>>11211964
Ah, I see. I'll try that, thank you.

>>11211948
You raise land power by using spells of that element. So shoot her up with Reimu, Satori if she has any, Patchy, or Byakuren if you've gotten her already.

>>11211920
Well there's Physical RD. I can tell you this though, Wind of Miracles buff stacks on buffs to make them stronger. The damage dealt was after 5 Wind of Miracles stacked on the Patk up.

>>11211987
>Physical RD
What skill inflicts that?

And wait, shit, I think I'm being slow here. You mean that the effect Wind of Miracles has on the buffs in place doesn't wear off? It just progressively increases the efficacy said buffs?

>>11212015
Even if the buff itself wears off, the buff it buffs will still have it's effect. Not only that, you can stck MORE WoM on top of it. Also, Special Missle inflicts Physical RD

>>11212023
Well fuck. This is what the hype has been about then. Thanks for the info.

Thank you, it was a lot easier with Reimu.

>>11212023
So after you have the buffs you want, Sanae can just spam WoM every turn and they'll get stronger every cast?

>>11212042
Yup. Pretty much. I think it can be stacked about 5 times. I discovered it when Reisen's disorder eye did 10k more damage than the previous turn. Then I had the idea of stacking those WoM then BAM! Huge damage output. And it helps that Youmu is my commander so that her 3-bomb skill will boost the chance of criticals landing

I did it again.

>>11212065
Delicious. I'll remember that in the next playthrough, whenever that is.
I fucking love Sanae in this game. Found I love buffing characters like that; doesn't throw out some buffs and piddle around until they run out, instead just keeps throwing them up. I'd love a class like that in an MMO or something.

>>11212137
Elder Hydra kinda sucks. Poor girl.

How do I get better class specific weapons, like for Satori, Youmu, Alice, etc

>>11212065
>>11212149
To be fair stacking WoM isn't working as intended.

>>11212424
You craft them at kourindou.

>>11212179
Anyone?

>>11212428
I don't have any for characters other than what I had when I first got there. Is there a way to get more recipes?

>>11212441
Visit Akyuu regularly. She gives you more recipes.

>>11212441
Talk to Akyu every time you advance the plot/beat a boss, she'll give you more stuff.

>>11212460
>>11212461
Oh sweet, thanks.

>>11211286

Not really. It takes a couple of attempts each time, but mostly I just have to F12 by the first couple of turns.

>>11212962

At last.

Huh, just noticed that this game saves a screenshot of your latest victory of every stage you play in this game.

Been farming the last stage in an attempt for rare cards, but I need a bomb to do the last wave consistently and farming the first stage for them is surprisingly lengthy since it has so many waves.

Also my victory over 2 star last stage was really damn close looking back at this screenshot.

>>11213934
So can anyone tell me what this game is all about? Looks pretty complicated. Also, DL link?

>>11213945
It's Touhou Nagiri Sen, basically Touhou Plants vs Zombies, but really damn hard.

http://minus.com/mMXGLXWjj
Found a couple of DL links.

If it's not patched to 1.01 then get the patch here.
http://www.gensoukyou.org/
It's the top download which has Ver1.01 in it.

Also, I've discovered something potentially incredibly useful, but difficult to use in the game. You can repeatedly move a unit that is in combat with an enemy unit and every time you do so you refresh your unit's attack allowing you to get far more hits in a shorter timespan. Not sure how useful this actually is due to the fact moving your units delays your deck drawing.

>>11214115
>1.01
That's for the budget version. I don't know what version your links are for, but it's probably the original version.
Corresponding patches (currently 1.02) would be here:
http://www.gensoukyou.org/support/update_5.html
Also, according to the update log:
>ユニットを移動させる際に正しい攻撃間隔になるよう修正されました。
It seems the bug you describe was fixed for 1.02.

Please don't misuse the quotation function

>>11215930

>Please don't misuse the quotation function

I said I wouldn't complain about having to grind, but this was quite tedious. Hopefully we've got a better chance now!

>>11215519

Forgive my lack of knowledge concerning fanmade games - what's the name of this one?

>>11218434
It's Gensoumaroku, The Devil of Decline. Another one of Strawberry Bose's RPG's. It's really good IMO but nothing trumps GoS. I recommend you playing it after GoS but I can tell you it still isn't translated yet.

>>11218467

Ah yes, it did look somewhat similar to tGoS. I'm still in the midst of learning Japanese, but I guess there's no shame in using a dictionary if needed!

Dammit!

The most minor of errors and this happened. Would likely have killed it if Youmu hadn't been killed by an odd strike from the Incident 3(!!) times. Also went high-risk and replaced Sanae's resurrection with Wind of Swords. At least I found a way to deal with Devil's 3-5.

Where do you guys think is the best place to grind the weekend chars up to a decent level?

>>11219433
one commander the party, and then as many as you can fit into your main group and reliably clear trash mobs in the latest dungeon.

alternatively, satori + all the lowlevels and go grind abilities from stages 3-4 prior to the one you just finished.

>>11215519
Does it still go first and slaughter your ass?

the faces, man

>>11219849

>>11219485
Yup. But I have Rapid Stream that makes my entire party go first so I just kill the bastard before he even took a turn. The lightning attack from the Garuda shikigami will surely one-shot this guy.

>>11219433
Kill Queen Flayer in the Emerald quest. Gives you 65535 EXP and it's... quite easy to kill.

Aahh... it's finished. It got somewhat grindy towards the end, but I got what I asked for, I suppose. Funny thing is, this was a really bad run because of a mistimed RES buff in P2, leading to multiple poisons, which again meant Sanae entered P3 with less than half MP. Saved by Miracle Hakkero. Did take a lot longer than it would have needed to!

I guess this concludes my journey for now. It was fun!

>>11219433

I basically did what >>11221511 said, but with multiple different bosses that don't really require much effort(Hydra, Terminator, Maneater etc.).

Oh, and just for the record - my party number 3.

Byakuren leeched some levels because I admittedly used her commander spell and Last Word for some grinds.

>>11221731
>Playtime: 150h
Anyone mention autism yet?

>>11221723
>>11221731
Now do it again, but this time with Satori, Byakuren, and Reisen.

>>11221745
Shhh

>>11221991
And by it, I mean the entire game.

If you still want a handicap then try doing it without Alice.

>>11222003

Actually I did kind of want to do it without Alice next time I play through this(in a couple of months time probably). And I'll be sure to use everyone this time, so I can enjoy the game to its fullest!

>>11221745

Do you know where we are? If you caught the end of the previous thread, there were tons of people with over 200 hours played, although I can't speak for wether that's just after the boss or if that's with 100% completion.

>>11222019
Good. Now play DoD. And don't ever think of playing this game again without Alice. You see what happens when you clear the elements on the Ex final boss. Also most pathetic Final Boss ever (Ex Final Boss in DoD)

What should I spend my second obsidian on? Already made an aegis shield.
Also, are the main game legendary weapons still worth crafting in the expansion? It kind of bothers me they only have 4 stars.

>>11222331
You have too if you want these for later

>>11222340
Oh great, good to know. Thanks

>>11222331
Do you only get two? Kind of a new player sorry.

Just picked this up a few days ago.

>>11222364
No it's just a quite rare drop.

>>11222369
Ahh ok. Thanks.

>>11222364
In the main game, you DON'T get any from chests. You have to grind for it HARD from a certain enemy with multiple heads. In the expansion, there's a quest boss which drops it.

>>11211834
Kind of a late reply but this is Otoha, a boss from Devil of Decline

>>11222305
Touhou Pocket Wars Evolution had the very same final boss.

>>11222305

Oh, I'll certainly pick that up soon enough. I just need to expand my repertoire of Kanji first. As for doing tGoS without Alice, barriers, camouflage and/or just leaving one Element alive should suffice.

>>11222425
I played this with agth and Atlas so I have instant machine translations. The story is what I don't understand

>>11211834
I remember posting that fake code for Otoha. All I did was download a save file with all of them already unlocked.

>>11222431
sauce pl0x

>>11222399
And they both have very excellent remix of her theme!

>>11221723
You could've made it alot easier for yourself if you used the poison shield formation. It'll resist poison and also reduce the poison damage you take as well as full coverage from Alice's Parrarr

Completing GoS and the expansion without using Alice was the most fun i've had with an RPG ever

>>11222431
Well if you could share the save file that'd be nice.

>>11222550
Search for them on Baidu.
東方百鬼合戦 特典

Some of them start you at the beginning others have everything unlocked.

>>11222575
Found the save you were using I think.
http://www.fxxz.com/path/23354.html

>>11222429

Not the worst idea I've heard. I'll try to make it work one of these days.

>>11222531

Good point. I didn't think about that at all.

So can I unlock Utsuho in this game, or what..?

>>11224678
No. You can in the second game though, DoD

>>11211308
The music playing on the map is killing me since I completely forgot the original's name. Anyone might help?

>>11224681
Okay. Thank you.

>>11219849
At lest the Moon Race's moon isn't perverted looking. Also, dat Laughing Tire

>>11224735
it must have taken a stupid amount of time to make these sprites

>>11225135
Can't they just make a drawing, then pixelate it? I always thought that was how they made game sprites.

>>11225186
Jesus christ no.

>>11225186
That looks horrible. But the fact that those sprites are not animated saves lots of time for them.

So i entered that code for Lithos in Touhou Nagiri Sen but i don't get Lithos in my deck. Do you have to reach a certain part in the game before you get her or am i missing something? I'm still at the very beginning so maybe i just am not ready to use her yet?

>>11225802
Just download the hacked save from >>11222651
It starts at the very beginning of both routes, but with all bonus code units. Enough of them to make 10 of the highest tier card.

Though using more than one grey bonus Lithos or Otoha is probably making the game far too easy.

In the case of the actual codes, I think a single grey version shows up as one of the random prize picks you get at the end of battles.

Something to keep in mind if you use the hacked save is that the bonus units don't automatically demote you to silver medal which they do if they're the proper code bonus version. There's no difference between gold and silver mechanically, but if you want the actual accomplishment feeling of completing stuff on gold legitimately, it's harder to keep track due to this.

>>11226473
Ah, i see. Thanks. I thought it might have been something like that.

So the bonus chars are overpowered to the point that a single grey version of them is enough to break the game's difficulty, yet that save has like 90 of them? Holy fuck.

>>11226580
You can delete them and get instant red version cards of them. I got 10 of each.

>>11226580
Well they're not that amazingly overpowered, but yeah, they're among the best possible units in the game.

Lithos is a ranged bulky attacker that regenerates HP. She has high enough range equal to the farthest ranged enemy in Reimu mode and her attacks occasionally petrify. This is a delay effect not found anywhere else.

Otoha is like a shorter ranged, more powerful Marisa in that her attack has as high range as Lithos, but also pierces. She doesn't do anything fancy like paralyzing or regenerating though. However, she moves much faster as Marisa having flying enemy type movement(long diagonals).

Marisa has higher range than other of them and pierces however. It's just that she's slow and fragile as fuck.

However, in Suika mode, her Lithos is not ranged, she is otherwise the same, but she's purely melee. I was surprised Suika mode was tougher even in terms of bonus unit strength. Otoha wasn't any different as far as I could tell though.

I just can't imagine how hard Suika mode is as apparently she has to fight Marisas which have no equivalent in Reimu mode. She also doesn't get a yin yang orb equivalent apparently.

>>11214998
>>11214115
is there an english patch of this

>>11221723
congrats. I'll get there eventually.

>>11222394
that's one busy design

>>11224735
I dunno, he still looks pretty enthused about being sat on. Yeah though, I don't know any Japanese but I'm going to have to give DoD a try anyways. Looks so good.

>>11227404
nope. I think GoS is the only Strawberry Bose game that's been translated.

>>11227439
---> >>11222429

>>11227453
Ah, thanks. I completely forgot about that stuff.

>>11225802
Yes. Input the code and after a certain stage (map six or seven, or around) you will get one Lithos in your deck.

I thought I'll never be able to get this thing

What's the deal with the vendor in kourindou? Is there a way to figure out what numbers to input?

>>11229879
http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/The_Genius_of_Sappheiros/Miscellaneous

>>11229891
Thanks, I somehow missed that.

Is samidare slash worth learning or is tentacle just as good?

>>11234842
Samidare Slash, hits 2-4 times. Attack modifiers: 100% pre-DEF, 100% post-DEF. With each hit you will deal PATK - PDEF / 2 damage.

Tentacle. One hit. 75% pre-DEF, 550% post-DEF attack modifier. You deal (PATK * 0.75 - PDEF / 2) * 5.5 damage. Overall looks much better than Samidare Slash.

>>11235021

Where d'ya get such precise numbers?

>>11235021
I've nver heard of pre/post defend before except in the formations screen. What do you do to post/pre defend?

>>11235077
Some guy from MoTK forums translated lots of stuff from japanese wiki:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JfpJyF4p - skill damage
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Tnjtrd0r - damage calculation
Rest of the links are in this thread: http://www.shrinemaiden.org/forum/index.php/topic,10383.630.html

>>11235086
Formation's post/pre defend is completely other thing. It's something related to your defence after/before you've used your skill.

Never gonna let you down, thread.

>>11206394
Is there a strategy for this game that involves not using Sanae as the main healer?

I just started playing recently, and am on Eintei.

>>11241685
Get heals for Satori. The earliest heal you can get is Kaguya's heal which is in the end of Inner Eientei if you mind control her using Byakuren.
Also, this thread is dying fast ever since noSatoriAllowed finished this game. I also played and finished Devil of Decline so anyone up for a thread on that starting here?

>>11206394
oh hai kefka

>>11241715

If I can get DoD up and working I'd happily contribute to discussion about it.

>>11241715
Mix it up with this one.

>>11222536
So how do you do this? Alice seems pretty essential for most bosses. I kind of dislike alice in GoS but find myself forced to use her quite alot.

>>11243418
There was a guy who actually posted his entire playthrough in here without Alice.
I guess using proper equipment and exploiting bosses' weaknesses to the max, as well as using buffs properly.
Like, Alice just makes everything much easier, but point to me a boss that looks unbeatable without her(pre-expansion at least). I don't think there are any.

>>11243452
I suppose you're right but it sounds incredibly hard. I guess I could give it a try on my next playthrough. Already did most of the early bosses without Alice and it's not like it's hard to get her geared up if things turn out to be to annoying.

>>11243501
Level her up as your commander in case you end up wanting to give up.

anyone have the DL link for this game?

>>11243857

I don't have the usual link, but I personally downloaded the game from here - http://www.mediafire.com/?hjfox0hs8phju

and the patch from here - http://www.gensoukyou.org/support/update_1.html

Fairly sure the link that's usually posted has the patch pre-installed, but I don't have it. It's not that much of an effort anyways.

Website for the new Strawberry Bose game:
http://wp.gensoukyou.org/thq/
Oh hey online DRM requirements.
Boooooo. Freakin' Aquastyle ruining everything.

>>11243013
GREAT! Now at least this thread would be active again.

>>11244185

Alright, I'll look into it tomorrow sometime. It might take a little while due to my lack of experience with these programs(I sadly don't read a lot of VNs), but I'm sure it'll be fairly easy to overcome!

>>11244185
Is DoD really playable if I don't know a single word in japanese? I was waiting for the translation patch, but I don't know if that's actually going to happen...

>>11244810
I played through it and beat the expansion too without knowing a single word of Japanese (except Element stuff like Fire, Water etc...). It helps to look up wikis and such. The biggest problem is knowing what buffs/debuffs do.

>noSatoriAllowed

>>11244856

Can I help you?

I've hit a wall here. Launching anything but the actual .exe itself does nothing, which means I can't use shortcuts. The problem is that the .exe doesn't have a shortcut tab, meaning I can't launch it through agth. I remember having similar problems when first downloading tGoS.

>>11246106
Rename directory and binary file to something decent.

>>11246716

Just tried, no difference. I didn't have to do that with tGoS, so I didn't really expect much from this. The problem isn't making the game launch, it's making it launch through agth.

I think I made a huge effort with 3 different versions of AppLocale when making tGoS work, but I've completely forgotten what I did.

>>11246858
Just set your locale to jap instead of fucking around with Applocale.

>>11246867

Naturally that was one of the first things I tried. While in that mode however, the application wouldn't launch at all(even without shortcuts), which is a step back. I'll keep messing around until I can make it work anyways.

Got it working. Seems I didn't unzip in Japanese locale to begin with. I sincerely apologize for the disinteresting posts. Interpreting the gibberish so far has been challenging, but fun. Just adds to the charm I guess! As far as I could tell, something is abducting locations/people from all over Gensokyo. I can't wait to find out what's going on!

Just so I'm sure from the get-go - how does saving the game work in this one?

>>11247186

Starting to realize that maybe I should actually start playing before asking silly questions.

>>11246106
Please allow Satori.

>>11247647

I'm sorry, I don't much like Satori. She is "the most hated person of the underground" for a reason! Regardless, you may of course cherish her as you please.

>>11247186
>This is a purple act
Well, if you can call Reimu Red-White, you can call her purple, I guess.

>>11247745
Satori isn't that good of a shikigami. Also, don't be fooled when she appears for you don't need her to be in any of your characters to recruit shikigamis.

>>11249572

I can live with that. On the topic of Shikigamis, do they truly change based on who has them "equipped"? agth is reluctant to translate anything in this menu.

>>11249579
Nope. They're the same. A shikigami may be grouped into 2:
1. How useful their skills are
2. How great their stats are even with the shitty skills
Also, you can do anything you want in this game. I even saw a player on YT make Patchouli a sword user. Also, nice one picking Reimu as your main character.

>>11249579
Also, start learning weapon skills for your characters by just attacking regulary

>>11249596

That's useful knowledge. What do you mean "picking Reimu as my main character"? I don't recall being given any choice of the sort.

>>11249606

Yeah, I gathered as much. I have a few already.

>>11249612
You have a choice in the beginning to pick who your main character is. There are 4.
Reimu, Yukari, Byakuren, and Meiling.
I obviously picked Meiling.

>>11249617

What?! If Meiling is an option, it's time to restart. How did I miss this? I think there was a screen in which pressing my arrow keys didn't do anything, so I just pressed Enter and went with it. I put it down to programming errors. Good thing I didn't play a lot yet!

>>11249612
That's what happens when you can't read Japanese. Press left or right on this screen to choose another one.

>my main team
What do you think about my team to fight Kaguya&Eirin ?

>>11249628
Get Nitori in since her gun has slayers on both of them.

>>11249628
Who are you quoting?
I'll try to speak "you're" language":
No charm/mind control/berserk/10

>>11249625

I can read Hiragana and some Katakana, I just have no clue whatsoever about Kanji yet! In any case, I'm here now. Pressing the arrows keys did nothing, and in my quest to find responsive keys, I happened upon the Z key. I should've expected that.

>>11249628

That reminds me of my own team when fighting those two. It was one of the more difficult battles for us, if I remember correctly.

>>11244151
that first links first 2 files are corrupted is there another link?

>>11249645
What version are you even playing? There was a bug in the older versions where some people couldn't pick other characters in that screen.

>>11249657

I think I may have forgotten to apply some patches.

>>11249646

Try one of these then:

http://www.4shared.com/folder/eAB1gLLj/GoSEng.html

http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=361555

>>11249660
Patch to 1.11 if you're on the original version so you can at do the Valentine's day event. You can't get anything from it anymore but it still has some text you can read.

2.05 has the Tanabata event that's probably missable if you patch up to the newest 2.xx version. All you really miss from this event if you don't do it is the wishes people made. I posted one of them.

>>11249669

I can manage with 1.11 I think. Do I need to download and patch all of these accordingly or will only taking the 1.11 one work? The patches at Doujinstyle are 7zips which I cannot open for the life of me.

>>11249676
Nope. You can just skip directly to 1.11 though I started playing this game with 1.12.

>>11249686

Thank you. I'll get to it then!

>>11249676
You need to apply each one until 1.11
Just using 1.11 by itself won't work

>>11249698

I just grabbed this one. By my logic it should work.

>>11249698
That's odd, I patched mine directly and it worked

>>11249716
The first patch they put out was huge because they wanted to fit the game on a regular CD. The rest of them were a lot smaller. I don't think using the 1.11 patch by itself will work. 1.12x is just all of them bunched up and it patches them in order until you reach 1.12. You can still probably cancel it before it patches to 1.12 though if you use the 1.12x patch.

>>11249774
Do you know where to download the latest patch? I think the latest one is 2.11

>>11249783
http://www.gensoukyou.org/support/update_2.html

2.11 is for Matsuri though and I think he was still on the original version.

There we go!

>>11249774

Does it really matter if I use 1.12? I couldn't stop it as far as I could tell.

>>11249859
You probably can't finish the Valentines day event anymore since the items you need to complete it stop dropping in 1.12. I'm not sure if you can even start the event in 1.12

Like I said earlier all you're really missing out on is a few lines of text since they already handed out the prizes.

>>11249907

Alright, I'll stick with it then. The journey may finally begin! ...again!

>>11249645
Well I hope when you play this game, you can learn some Kanji with it seeing your playing with Atlas.

And that makes 2 with Full Moon Revenge

>>11249669
Did Hina want to summon Porunga?

Thanks for the information. I seem to remember there was also another event that got patched out.
Oh, and we're on the topic, does anybody know about a complete list of missables for DoD?

>>11250461
Ehh, disregard the part about the event, I'm retarded.

>>11250461
There's nothing really missable in DoD. You can recruit every shikigami which is recruitable but if you're gonna try recruiting the yukkuris, then prepare to spend long hours finding then killing them for they have a low recruitment rate.

>>11250473
Weren't bosses recruitable? And as bosses are proverbially one-timed...

>>11250517
You acquire them. After you beat them, they'll turn into shikigamis. Only applies to Nazrin, Shou, Eirin, Kaguya, Yuugi, and Tenshi. The 3 underling bosses are acquired in the expansion

So, does there exist a universally "best" formation or does it depend on your lineup?

>>11249990

I hope so too.

>>11250283

How is it regarding skills in this game - are they strictly divided by physical and shikigami or do you learn spells etc. as you go along?

>>11250642
Your characters learn skills for the weapon they're equipping. As you can see in the image, the level of proficiency increses as a character uses it more and weapon skills can be learned at various levels of proficiency. As for spells, only shikigamis learn spells as they level.
Also, since you're using v1.12, you won't be able to recruit the Mine Village and the Maw Chauveau.

>>11251310

Ah, neat! Do certain characters gain bonuses from using certain weapons?

>>11251367
Not exactly sure but I think that if if you make a certain character, for example Reimu, who is naturally a blunt-type user, use a sword, she would have a harder time getting sword skills as in she'll learn them at a higher sword proficiency than natural sword users.

One last question before starting my let's-take-a-break-from-trying-to-beat-Sappheiros'-final-boss run.
Do I want to install Matsuri right away?

is it for reals that in the second game characters you can use in battle don't get their own moves? like no master spark for marisa?

>>11252079
Moves are learned by the equippable Shikigami, so as far as I know, yeah.

>>11252079
They still have their own moves though in the form of their Last Words.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os-aMGrTUuw

>>11252086
wow that sucks. I was excited about china being playable but if she can't use her rainbow kung fu moves what's the point?

>>11252118
This game looks graphically cool. Are translators up to this after GoS?

>>11252119
Pretty much. So many Touhous to use, and a flexible enough game for you to use your favorites, but they're all just bundles of stats. It's the personas that do all the talking.

W-what's happening?

>>11252118
This looks awesome.

>>11219849

>>11252736

>>11251404

I think it would make sense.

>>11252329

It definitely takes away the "uniqueness" that each individual character had in tGoS. Incidentally, does Sakuya feature in DoD at all?

>>11253369
Here you go

>>11253397

Ah, excellent. I was slightly bothered when I didn't see her on the main character sheet, but a shikigami is certainly satisfactory.

>>11253397
Wait a second. Is this an experimental/prototype patch I spy there?
Also, massive spoilers there buddy(well kinda sorta). Next item maybe equip her on one of the main characters?

>>11253473
She gives good stats, but she comes super late into the game and her early skills aren't really so good. Although Quicktime is back and it's the same as it was in GoS.

>>11253545

Huh, can't believe I missed the English parts of that screenshot. Now I'm curious too! I actually never got to use Quicktime in tGoS. Ended up with the main party all at level 98 after the final battle.

>>11253558
The problem with this prototype patch is that this patch was released long before DoD's expansion came out. The side effects of it after installing the expansion is the title screen being black, shikigami sprites not appearing when selected on a character, and of course, the shikigami names are wrong. I fixed the title screen bug and the sprites not appearing but the names stay

>>11253584

Aha, I assumed there would be a "but" to it!

How does this party-switch system work? Marisa isn't appearing in the party even though I've seemingly swapped her in. Also, how are boss battles difficulty wise compared to tGoS? The first two were trash-mob-tier, but I assume that's just because I literally just started the game.

>>11254510
Press the "P" button then you'll here the confirm sound. Also, all the bosses are trash if you know how to make full use of shikigamis

>>11254524

None of the keys on my keyboard worked, so I resorted to trying all the buttons on the Xbox controller I happened to have connected. That worked!

A bit disappointing regarding the bosses, but I imagine it'll still be a fun experience!

>>11254571
Did you configure the controls or you just use the controller?

Were are more of Stawberry Bose's more recent games translated?

>>11254617
Don't think so.

>>11254585

Nah, didn't configure anything, and I always use my keyboard(unless I'm playing the fighters). Doesn't really matter, I can cope with it.

>>11255107
Also, if you haven't known yet, press whatever it is your P button is to access the map. Then you'll be able to teleport to locations you've been to.

I actually really like the art in this game, though it is slightly more samey than tGoS' was. It's also nice that it's actually included outside use of Last Words!

Not really sure where I'm going at the moment. Hoping to find out soon!

>>11256381

Ah yes, this was really quite helpful, thanks!

Is this based off Romancing SaGa?

How long is DoD compared to GoS? I was having fun for a long time with GoS, but i finished Phantasmal Summoners in less than a day. Will DoD be over quickly too?

>>11259162
Sadly, yes. It's a ton easier than GoS and it's easy to level. You'd be finished in less than 200 hours.
Also, the game loves me!

>>11259133
Yes.

>>11259162
It took me less than 20 hours to clear the main game. I finished the expansion in less than a day.

>>11253362
aw, that's not nearly as good

>>11259196
mima you piece of shit you're facing the wrong way

Does your character choice at the start of DoD affect anything significant in the long run? I don't want to miss out on anything because i didn't play a standard Reimu game.

>>11259588
Just the story. Nothing else

>>11259588
If I ever beat GoS I'm doing the Yukari route.

What the hell is 起き上がりレア度?

>>11261221
Oh, looking at the wiki it seems it's join rate. Nevermind.

i think im bugged, whenever i go heal i cant move, i can open my screen and everything but im just stuck

>>11265960

Sounds like a bug alright. What version are you running?

Additionally, is anyone still monitoring this thread?

>>11268950
Everyday, every minute since I'm the OP.

I'm finally getting some nice damage with reisen. Got a 68k crit on the hydra. Is getting 99999 damage just a matter of leveling Reisen or is there a specific setup needed?

>>11268978
Put as many debuffs on him as possible till you can't add anymore. Give her the Kusanagi for slayers against dragons. Put STR and PATK accessories on her and buff her up.
The damage you see here is from a mere Disorder Eye

>>11219849

After playing quite a few other games, I finally realized the cursed source of the mind flayers.
Final Fantasy, the first one. They act exactly the same,
Damn you, you started a massive series, but you also invented these mind flayers!

>>11269022
Been doing that, what lvl is your that Reisen? Also, where'd you get the physical resistance debuff?

>>11269101
Lvl 96. Also, you get Physical RD from the skill called Special Missile which can be learned from the Last Bangoru which is just a purple Garbangol.

>>11269131
Thanks, I know which monster you mean. Guess I just need to level my Reisen some more and I'll get max damage, she's level 83 now.

I'm getting a lot of lag when walking around, is this fixable? It feels like it's stuttering.

Are there any good translated Adventure Touhou RPGs?
I'm sort of thinking something along the lines of Zelda Minish Cap in style? I'm not sure If I'm using the right words. Sorry.

>>11271398
...how would you even consider Minish Cap an RPG?

The term you're looking for is action-adventure game. There's a LoZ based game about Rumia, but from what I heard it's pretty buggy and mediocre.

There's also the 3D Youmu action game, but it's mostly linear stages without anything like NPCs or much in the way of secrets.

Huh, I've reached the tower in the second level of DoD, and... is there even a reason to switch main characters?

>>11273211
I guess not.

;_;

This took long to get

>>11280455
Quick question. Can you recruit every monster? Seems dubious, but I've seen some monsters with no stars in their encyclopedia entry turn grey after being killed.
Or maybe those grey ones have nothing to do with recruiting. I haven't recruited Satori yet.

>>11280841
Nope. You can only recruit monsters with stars below them. The higher the number of stars, th eharder it is to recruit. Also, all recruitable yukkuris have a 0.1% chance of recruitment as you can see it took me 1172 kills to get this

Is GoS fully translated?

>>11280888
I see. Then what exactly do the grey monsters mean? Maybe it's just that the death animation glitches out and keeps showing the sprite. Huh.

>>11281102
It is.

And I'm totally done recruiting stuff. Won't bother with the Yukkuri and the King Yukkuri

>>11281180
Can you post a pic? I don't think this is supposed to happen.

When will Strawberry Bose release their new game again?

>>11280888
Only >>11279019 is 0.1%. The rest are 39/10000.

>>11288438
In approximately 24 hours.

The new game sort of looks like a nerfed GoS in the preview I saw on youtube, please tell me I'm wrong..

>>11289019
link?

>>11289025
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TTgqzO7Lb8
There's a lot of previews, the new game is somewhere in there, not too hard to find.

>>11288438
>>11289019
Don't get too excited for this, because of Aquastyle, the Strawberry Bose game now has online DRM all over it.

>>11290106
Oh that sucks. Well at least I'd reserve that extra space on my harddrive for that Tenshi game.
