We're all waiting for the translation

I've been playing it two years ago, but I slowly dropped it somewhere around Satori's house or oni village, don't remember which one. How far into the game is that? I'm pretty sure one of my issues was that I didn't know where to go next.

>>19946745
I thought that was discontinued?

>>19946787
That's pretty far for the base game. Only the garden of the sun and Makai left to go, I believe. Here's a strategy guide for Shard of Dreams; there's a spoiler-free walkthrough at the end.

That's some dedication...

We're seriously still waiting on the finished patch? I got impatient and played with the beta translation a couple weeks ago. Reposting for anyone who wants it:
https://github.com/TPDPTranslationTeam/TPDP_Translation_Team/tree/Testing

hows my team?

>>19946714
I'm sorry, but moonbitches are too powerful to pass by.

The watatsukis are in the top 10 highest BSTs, and a few of those above them have detrimental abilities.

>>19947369
Even Re'sen?

>>19947639
No, just the Watatsukis.

>hot topic
No bully Hecatia!

>>19946790
>>19946745
Came into this thread thinking that would've been released by now...oh dear...

>>19949365
It's apparently 99% done. You can risk playing the beta translation patch.

>>19949486
99%? What's missing?

>>19949977
nothing is missing, they're just polishing it.

>>19949977
Just some cleaning. I noticed like 5 errors during the entire run. A couple lines with bad grammar (In the puppet box and when inflicted with confusion) and the rest was NPC dialogue not scrolling properly

Is there a guide for installing the expansion? The one thrown around in the old threads isn't available anymore.

>>19953127
if that's all it is why not hop into their discord and give em a report just so they can release it officially?

>>19949977
There's also a part where the choices you pick when Yukari asks you for your desire aren't translated. Probably doesn't make a difference in the long run, though.

>>19947311
>>19953647
Damn, thanks a lot for these. Saved me a lot of time. Gonna try this now.

>>19947311
Do you know how to apply this patch? I tried copy-pasting it, but japanese text is still showing up.

>>19947311
Nevermind, just realized I'm an idiot and didn't need to apply that to anything after downloading it.

>>19946971

>>19954512
Or I, you know, played the base game a few years ago.

>>19947369
Not choosing Shinki as your starter was a mistake.

>>19954484
how did you manage to make audio work?

>>19957190
From the untranslated expansion's dat folder copy gn_dat3 and 4 to the translation's dat folder

>>19958074
Oh yeah, 3 and 4 were missing, thanks.

How do you fullscreen this game? The settings -> F11 trick from the previous game doesn't work at all.

There's a few retards in the /v/ thread that don't even know how to install jap locale.

>>19959297
>/v/

>>19959955
I laughed harder at this than I should have.

>>19959955
Depending on your perspective this is either the best or worst thing about using Seija on your team

>>19959955
Great. Now I want her in my team spreading poison with her braps.

>>19962737
Use Sagume instead.

Which version of Sagume is best?

>>19946714
Nobody cares

>>19946971
Should have specified that I was playing SoD.

For the beta patch, it's normal to have the Japanese text still be there (along with the translated text) and the translator notes right? It's a beta, so I don't mind it.

>>19969023
no? mine is entirely English

>>19969023
Shouldn't be the case. On the github did you download from the main branch or the testing one?

>>19969399

I downloaded from the testing branch and just did it again to make sure I didn't fuck up, but it looks to be still be the case. Did I do something wrong?

>>19969680

nvm fixed it

Full patch has just been released!

http://thpp.supersanctuary.net/forum/index.php?topic=4364.0

>>19969908
holy shit i never thought id live to see the day. hooray

>>19954512
I used to do this when I was little just because I liked reading about the game

Now that the patch has been released, I'm finally free from playing ROBLOX.

Full translation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/touhou/comments/9jgcmn/the_full_translation_patch_for_tpdp_shard_of/

>>19970536
And to think that all it took was the previous head of the tl admitting that his teams effort fell apart a half year or so before he finally gave up. Either way its certainly nice to see.
Different topic but does anyone know how Hemo's new games on DLsite are? I remember seeing a few pics months ago, but didnt actually hear anything about it.

YOU CAN FIGHT MIMA!

Where can I get the base game to use the patch on?

>>19971251
Since the blog is down, I don't remember where where else I may have gotten the base from. The archive posted earlier still has a working link, but I think it may be for the expansion. At least, I don't remember a link being posted here, or in /v/

Someone needs to give FocasLens a Full Revive. What even happened to them? The game was popular and did well, right?

>>19971387
Yeah, it's just the expansion, need to install both for the Expansion to work.

>>19971547
To clarify, I've googled fairly hard but all I can find are pre-patched rars of the installed game.

>>19971555

https://mega.nz/#!Zh9HFIgA!B_Z5O9vC0SLzI5OshlXPXHeRjEAu3pYsLRwgXj9Sagk

Here you are anon. Keep in mind when you install the expansion, you can put it anywhere. I believe it just looks for filepaths to connect to the base game in some .ini settings in docs or appdata or something.

Does it matter if I put the Puppets in combat for XP or do they always all get a equal amount of XP?

And does putting them in combat increase affection higher? My starter Sakuya likes me considerably but all the ones I caught still give me neutral eyes.

>>19971594
Everyone in the party gets xp. The puppets who take part in combat get like double XP I think.

>>19969908

I installed this patch but I'm having some Japanese text still show up. In another folder, I have the testing branch from earlier and that one doesn't have any issues.

>>19971570
Thanks, anon!

>>19971626

Fixed it, I was just being retarded.

Ive never been able to get this game to go fullscreen. The manual always said F11 but its never worked. Anyone know how?

>>19971764
Can't test it now, but I think it was double clicking on the screen.

>>19971793
Naw that only changes window size.

Reminder: Unlike Pokemon, held single-use items are refreshed after each battle, so feel free to give your puppets any charms you find without worrying.

>>19972241
This game has so many QoL changes from the Poemon games that it's silly. I love it so much.

>>19972282

I really like the style system. It gives some spice to it and would not be upset at all if they implemented it in a pokemon game.

Is this accurate, or just a holdover translation from the base game? The wiki removes the 1.3x boost text from the YnK versions of these abilities.

>>19972757
It's an accurate translation, but keep in mind that it's still possible that the devs changed the ability without changing the text. Do some testing if you want to be absolutely sure.

>>19969908
Oh fuck

>>19969908
So I still have the zip with base game, the expansion and the updates, how i install this?

What does importing data from the base game even do? The manual says that there should be expanded boxes with access to the old touhous but there doesn't seem to be any differences.

>>19973466
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3F0MjQs6PQ

>>19973639
>expanded boxes with access to the old touhous but there doesn't seem to be any differences.
If you chose the same starter, it gets imported from your old game, with the same marks and A+ rankings, which is a downgrade since choosing other starters gets you full S ranks. Your old puppets only become available after you beat the true final boss of the game Mugetsu and Gengetsu Doremy then returns your old puppets to you. Basically you can only use your old squad for NG+ preparation, since starting an NG+ brings only the puppets in your active party at the beginning.

>>19973639
You keep all puppets from the imported save, but you have to complete the postgame before you can access them.

The best Pokemon game in over 5 years is a Touhou fangame. It's kind of depressing when you think about it.
I'd give my both my balls for FocasLens to be the ones making the gen 8 games rather than Gamefreak

>>19973687
But that's normal. The best Fire Emblem game is also not made by Nintendo. And had a much better solution for the BS phoenix mode thing as well. Instead of ruining the general style of FE like phoenix mode does, they opted for granting such a big reward for having no deaths in a stage, that you play like classic FE, even without perma-death.

>been catching puppets whenever I see a new one
>completely forgot about the IV system in the game

fug

Does the game get challenging enough where I have to worry about it or is it something I should only worry about if I'm doing netplay stuff?

>>19974815
IVs are mostly for netplay and autism. Your pretty much fine using whatever unless the puppet straight up has E- for all their ranks. Later on levels and stats start to matter less since everyone will have their moves and forms.

i like how in new game+ i picked other 2hu as starter and now i have 2 puppets in wedding dress

how come none of the 2hus mention that the puppets look like them

am I an idiot and fucked up somewhere when installing this? because it seems the text sometimes goes off the edge of the textbox.

>>19972757
It says the same in the Japanese version.

>>19974815
IVs in this game can be easily corrected in the postgame, it's easily possible to reincarnate literally every puppet you own with S-ranks in every stat. They're not important in the maingame for the most part, either.

>>19971610
>>19971594
Oh, no...can you turn that feature that off?

>>19975490
I dont think so. Even if you could, only retards or masochists who love grinding would turn it off since the game is hard enough already.

Can you change emblems?

>>19975505
Well that's a pretty big hit against the game before I even get started. Great.
Also, fuck right off. EXP share is fine, forced EXP share is absolute garbage. You say grinding, I say training.

>>19975669
>only retards or masochists
Retards it is.

>>19973687
Honestly, a mainline pokemon game could easily be this good if it got stuffed with QoL improvements. It still doesn't have the main thing I'd want, a difficult yet honest AI to fight against.

>>19975753
Pokemon games would lose their mass appeal if they are too hard (ie, kids). That is never going to happen.

Not sure why focuslens didn't do so for puppet dance however. Even if they didn't want to do it for the main game, they could have easily done it for a NG+.

>>19975821
You don't have to make a difficult AI if you do what FocasLens and Gamefreak did and implement online PvP battles.

>>19975838
I always been more of a fan of the single player experience. Not going to bother with online pvp.

>>19971570
How do you install the expansion?

>>19975885
>>19953647
read the thread next time, friend

>>19975719
If you don't enjoy raising a Pokemon/puppet, I don't know why you're playing these games.

>>19975838
You don't need to make PvE good if you have PvP. Am I getting that right?

>>19975838
It's not necessary if you have online, sure, but it'll definitely add to the overall experience and make a better game.

Fuck.

>>19975926
Oh, thanks. Why is the base game just an app while the expansion is an iso? Dumb.
Does this DL include the just-released translation? Installation instructions say to dump the contents of a folder that doesn't exist.

>>19975996
I can't answer these questions, I'm still downloading the file personally. I had to do a PC clean a while ago. If I had to guess though, probably not.

>>19976010
I already got fed up. Nothing in the world triggers me like bad instructions. Sorry, TPDP, maybe latter.
Jesus Christ. Why is that not a single modder or programmer in the world can write a good read me? It's not hard, it really isn't.

>>19975996
>Installation instructions say to dump the contents of a folder that doesn't exist.
There should be a folder called SoD_Translation_Team_Testing in the same location as the 2 update files and the installation ISO. If it's just the folder that's missing you can just use the released version that was linked in >>19969908

>>19976113
Installed fine for me. Have you tried not being computer illiterate?

Can you only put wedding dress on one Puppet at a time or is it just whichever Puppet has a high enough affection with you?

>>19975669
The game is balanced with exp share in mind. Individual experience is scaled and you won't be leveled above the major battles.

>>19976150
You can put the wedding dress on starters and puppets who have leveled up 99 times. Reincarnation carries over the level up # so it doesnt need to get 99 levels on just 1 reincar.

>>19969908
OP of the last thread, I freaking KNEW I'd miss the release.
A day isn't that, but still, goddammit.

>huh this game isn't too hard
>go against Remilia
>she tosses out herself
>it starts insta killing everything via super-effectives and constantly went first due to speed

Didn't see that coming. I beat her with my starter Sakuya, but that was harsh.

>>19976186
The stretch between remilia and sanae is where the difficulty really begins. Around thete your starting to unlock forms and almost complete your team but the bosses will have good teams with strategies that can wipe you if your not prepared.

>>19976136
FFS then why does the read me refer to just the "Translation folder?" You have the full name RIGHT THERE, use it! Are you worried about your word count or something!?
Why doesn't the read me mention ISO's anywhere? Why are there two steps saying "Install X" in the exact same why when both things to install are done so in different ways?
This shit! This shit right here! Absolutely NO quality control, never ever ever.
Oh and I just KNOW there's someone reading this with some smug, self-satisfied grin that they could install it correctly. Good for you! Ain't you smart? But guess what, THAT MEANS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING. Ever heard the brick-layer metaphor? If your instructions arn't good enough for the dumbest person reading them, then they are BAD INSTRUCTIONS.
And you can't just yada-yada who cares these things! Read mes are REALLY REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT, that's why they're named something so direct and simple that a fucking senile grandma would know to click them. Doubly, TRIPLY so if you don't have an autorun or entirely self-contained installer! If they can't get your shit to work, then it's just that, shit. IT'S KINDA IMPORTANT.
So you just finally got your patch/mod/program working? All ready to go? NO YOU ARE FUCKING NOT. Sit down, write a read me, then write a BETTER read me, and you keep doing that shit until you have instructions to clear that a blind person could follow them. Find help, find a dumb person to bounce it off, lots of those folks around, and stop being such a stupid dipshit. Jesus Christ!



For when I'm less salty in the future, is this one of those games where you need to mount an ISO for it to run? Game needs the actual disc to run? I haven't done that in years, would be good to know.

Honestly my only criticism of the game is that there isn't a easy reference guide in-game for type advantages and what kind of types the Touhous you see are. Not even the Puppet Book has any reference it to it. While some Touhous are obvious on what type they are, many aren't.

The wiki is useful, but I think it would have been nice to include that in-game somewhere.

Other than that though, this is better than any Pokemon game I've played.

Why is Wakasagi so happy? It's too cute.

>>19976231
Autism speaks.

>>19976249
Yeah, it's the same problem Purple had. Needs to color the health bar with what types the puppet is.

>>19976231
It's not the readme's fault that you can't follow 10 steps. I'm surprised you even managed to install the base game at all considering that it doesn't say that the base game is in the "Puppet Dance Performance" folder and that it just says "Install the translation" instead of "Install the translation using TPDP_Patch_102" if you missed a fucking folder that was in the same place as the update files and installation ISO.

>>19976231
Woah, zero patience much. Must be too used to instant gratification.

I finally stopped being retarded and installed it! i wish raikoanon was here.

>>19976231

Where do you release puppets? I can't see anything in the box.

>>19976515
There's a point in the story (or maybe it was a sidequest) where you had the ability to release them. Its been ages since I played it though (partly due to dead netplay), and the TL will give me a reason to replay it

>>19976515
Hina lets you release them.

>>19976515
Hina is halfway up youkai mountain; she is the only one who can release puppets.

>>19976462
I completely forgot about the Tippy Dippy generals on /vp/. I hope Raikoanon is doing okay.

What exactly is this expansion? I started a new game and except for Doremy at the start it seems the same as the main game. Do I just need to go through everything again before getting to the new content, besides seeing the occasional new character (e.g. Sumireko)?

>>19976789
New things start happening after you beat Cirno, Rumia and gang in the Human Village. Next, enter Miko's Mausoleum through the cave behind the Myouren Cemetery.

>>19970905
I tried the demos of the two Gengetchu games a while back. They were pretty unresponsive, the second game less so, but still unresponsive. I only like it because Gengetsu and PC-98

Face it, Hemo is fucking dead, and we'll never get any more games or updates from him.

>>19976801
Okay, thanks. I remember Miko's place from the original; IIRC there was nothing there. I'll keep going.

>>19976349
I have zero patience for poorly written instructions, that's correct. It's an infuriatingly common problem among independent programmers and modders and those sort of folk that has no god damn reason to exist.

>>19976323
Well look at that, it's exactly who I was talking about! Alright, smart-ass, let's dissect some shit.

>It's not the readme's fault that you can't follow 10 steps.
And what good steps they are!

>1) Install the base game.
No mention of where or what the base game is. Simple to figure out, but also no reason not to do so either. Also it's just run the setup file, remember that, it'll be important latter.
>2) Make sure the game runs, if it doesn't uninstall and install again, if it doesn't work hope someone in the thread can help you.
Ah yes. "The thread." You know, on "the site." Of course. No need to link to it or mention where it is we all just know where "the thread" is. So if you have problems the instructions kindly tell you too eat shit. Helpful!
>3) Install the update files in the following order: gn_enbu_r100_r110 -> gn_enbu_r_110_r120 -> gn_enbu_r_120_r134. If the update exe stops before the end run it again until it finishes properly.
Now these seems fine, not pointing to where they are aside, until you actually open one and it's all in Japanese. Yes you don't have to do anything besides press okay, BUT why doesn't it say so? Is it okay to close the program when both bars are full? Do I need to press the button in the middle? These questions should not exist.
>4) Install the translation.
Here's some good shit, the translation patched isn't titled "translation patch!" Why not? Fuck, you don't even need to do that and can name it whatever the hell you want if you just did what you so kindly suggested and actually named what the fucking file was. Why not!?
>5) Install Shard of Dreams.
Now here's where the shit gets good. "Install Shard of Dreams," stated just like steps 1 and 4, which were just some applications to run. Click, done, just an exe. And yet, in THIS case, it's an ISO.
Why!? Why is it different!? And since it IS different, why is the step listed like it isn't!? This, THIS right here, is what makes these instructions bad. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but most people don't know what the fuck to do with an ISO. I sure didn't when I first encountered them! So WHY doesn't it even TRY to explain what to do there!?
And you know what's on the ISO? An exe. Another setup application. Previous pic FUCKING related.
>6) Update the game with the 2 update files. (enbu_ap1000_1102 -> enbu_ap1102_1103)
See previous, except there's several more moonrune windows popping up. If you're supposed to anything else with these besides hit yes then fuck if I know. It's great that you guys know Japanese, that takes a lot of work and good on you, but as someone downloading a translation patch, I in fact cannot read Japanese, and am left to wonder how you DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT AT ALL.
>7) Make sure that the game runs.
Hmmm, now there's two game files. Is Shard of Dreams a separate application? Why? It's an expansion? So many questions left arbitrarily unanswered! And it doesn't seem to run either. Maybe I should ask "the thread."
>8) Go to your dat folder and move gn_dat1, gn_dat2, gn_dat5 and gn_dat6 somewhere else or make a backup and delete them.
These step is actually almost fine. Could mention where the dat folder is, but otherwise it's good shit. Says what to do and with what to do so by directly naming them. Well done, for once. But alas...
>9) Copy-paste the contents of the Translation folder into the game folder.
Now look. When I'm following a set of instructions, and it says to go get the "Translation" folder, caps and everything, I go looking for a folder named "Translation." Because that's common fucking sense. And I might see a folder named "SoD_Translation_Team-Testing," but I am certainly not going to think that is the "Translation" folder, because it's named like some dev tool bullshit which, as a non-idiot, I'm not going to mess with. And yet...
This what I'm sperging about, this right here. There's no reason for this, at all. The bytes you are saving by having a few less characters in the word doc ain't worth the possibility of people coming to "the thread" with stupid complaints. It's not just that there shouldn't be the inconsistency and lack of name, it's that there should be the slightest possibility for confusion in the read. That's exactly what instructions are for.
>10) Run the game with ynk_1103_tlstrings_wordwrap.exe, delete the original if you want.
Also very clear. Hey, 2 out of 10, could be worse.

>your skills 0.00%
Okay. Let's assume I'm an idiot. Should be easy for you. Guess what? It doesn't matter. If an idiot is having trouble following your instructions, then haha, hes dum, and they're still bad instructions. You shouldn't need any skills beyond reading basic English to follow 10 steps. That's the entire fucking point!

>>19978351

>>19946714
Who is the best starter?

>>19978383
Oh no, I'm not looking for help getting the game running. Touhoumon mood's kinda spoiled. Thanks, though. Maybe some other time.

>>19978416
You're not getting it at all. The problem here isn't whether or not I have the skills necessary to install the game, it's that the instructions assume I do. Step-by-step instructions exist to guide the ignorant through unfamiliar tasks, so why would you assume said ignoramus knows anything about the task you're instructing him in? That eliminates the whole point. It's a ridiculous contradiction that people make again and again and again. People making these brilliant, game-changing overhauls and wonderful, pain-staking translations and putting all this time and effort into improving a game they adore, and then writing "Install the program into the correct folder" as the how-to and leaving it at that. Then probably getting annoyed by all the dummies asking for help running their shit too boot.
It's the most infuriating thing in the world.

>>19978439

Doremy. Not a single weakness, starts with a STAB move that nothing will resist, learns a sleep inducing at level 10 and on top of all that she is reasonably fast and will outspeed nearly all of the early game opponents. She also has some neat style change options and is cute as heck.

Wasn't there a 2hu SMRPG fangame? Or maybe the pics I'm thinking of were teaser ones.

>>19979776
Yes, it's out but I dunno if you can pirate it with ease or anything.

Here it is: http://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ212756.html

>>19971570
Turns out that you only have to follow the steps up to #7 in the READ THIS (you).txt guide.
After that run the installation from: >>19969908

I've followed the instruction guide from the mega but when I try to open the game from the SoD folder it doesn't start

\Documents\TPDP + SoD\TPDP + SoD\幻想人形演舞\dat\gn_dat1\common\EFile.bin can't be read
AppData\Roaming\Focaslens\幻想人形演舞\gn_enbu.ini cannot be read

Is what Im getting as an error message and I have no idea why it's doing that.

>>19981931
Because the expansion does not find the base game. You have to reinstall be base game in another location. You can read http://thpp.supersanctuary.net/forum/index.php?topic=728.0, it deals with that problem on linux.
Try reinstalling it in \Documents\TPDP + SoD\TPDP + SoD\幻想人形演舞 and see if that works.

Oh hey Shinmyoumaru's name in-game is Sukuna.
Droppped.

>>19982139
Running this game isn't as simple as the usual "just copy this folder and run it" thing but it's nowhere nearly as difficult as some people make it look like. All you need to do is install the base game, as in run its setup file (IMPORTANT), then install the expansion the same way, run the updater in the game's own folder, and finally install the translation. The only way you might have some trouble is if you're running Windows XP or some Linux version, but in that case you can use the log files the game makes somewhere to get everything working.

>>19982622
It isn't, idiot.

The character limit is 10. The translators had to go with Sukuna to fit the limit. The devs obviously used Shinmyoumaru.

That said they did use Murasa instead of Minimitsu, probably for the same reason most people do (her theme).

>>19982767
Well, she's also called Murasa in Japanese, so it would be the correct thing to do even though it's wrong.

>>19982792
That's what I'm saying. The devs went with Murasa. The nips also tend to call Byakuren "Hijiri" so "Hijiri" it is

I was not expecting the size change
I know style changes affect puppet's intro effects, but many other puppets change their sprites?

>>19983059
Only other instance off the top of my head is Power Suika which makes her giant

>>19982651
>some Linux version
Yeah, it was my case. I kinda regret installing Linux.

>>19983059
Power Yukari after 5 turns

>>19983300
what does she do

>>19983317
Sprite changes to this, and her ability changes from Placid to Serious, where SpAtk and Speed are returned to their normal values, and then also increase one stage every turn.

Does anybody know what exactly does the item Dream Shard do? It's description states that "Mysterious gem that constantly changes color. A special Puppet holding this will have increased stats. ", but I can't seem to find any additional information on it anywhere.

>>19983357
Regigigas, basically?

>>19983429
Increases the puppet's stats by 10% IIRC

>>19983477
Thanks. Do you know if the "A special Puppet" means that it will only work with your starter, or is it usable by anyone?

>>19983550
Will work with anyone you can put the wedding dress on and has a heart mark in their profile. So either your starter or any random puppet you level up 99+ times when reincarnation becomes available.

Which ability is better for someone like Power Komachi, Strategist or Moody?

>>19946745
>>19946790

>>19984625
So more people use strategist? Alright.

So I know emblems correspond to different natures but can't find on wiki what emblem correlates to which stats, does anyone have that?

>>19985542
http://tpdpwiki.net/wiki/Reincarnation#Stat_Marks

No multiple saves, right? Though I IMAGINE you can just fiddle with file copying.

5 mins into game and sanae just called me "normie" and futo reffered to me as "anon"

>>19985542
Look at your puppet's stats page and see if you notice anything distinct about one of them.

>>19985774
>and futo reffered to me as "anon"

The word anon can be found as early as the 11th Century, with the Old English word āne meaning "in one," or "right away." The word is considered archaic, and sounds a little pretentious when used today. It fits much better in older literature such as works by Shakespeare. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's nurse calls her just as the girl is bidding goodbye to Romeo, and she keeps putting the Nurse off by saying, "I come anon."

>adv (old-fashioned or informal) in a little while
>“see you anon”

I heard that in the expansion it would be possible to interact with Flandre but it still gives me the same stupid sequence of her constantly running away. Am I supposed to do something or is her fight postgame only?

>>19985829
Post game.

>>19985829
After you beat Shinki, go and talk to Remilia. Also, the actual, ‘proper’ postgame is after you beat the true final bosses, when the only things left to do is Reincarnation, Kasen sidequests, and rematches with characters.

>>19985838
>>19985910
Thanks, also does the postgame add any story content or is it just to allow you to choose your full party from the beginning?

>>19985838
It's not quite post game. You don't have to beat the final bosses to do a lot of high level stuff in the game. Pretty sure you can go to Mima an Pandemonium before your story opponents get level 60 puppets.

>>19985954
>choose your full party from the beginning
This and NG+ preparation. Also competitive net play, if you’re into that.

>>19985954
The story continues in ‘postgame’, and concludes at the final boss battle. Heaven, Netherworld and the Yakumo Residence also become accessible and are plot points.

>>19985991
Actual postgame is what this anon said: >>19985985

Is there a way to verify if data was carried over properly before postgame? When I started it said it couldn't find save data but also asked if I wanted to carry it over, and the starter guy knew who I picked in the base game.

>>19986071
>asked if I wanted to carry it over, and the starter guy knew who I picked in the base game.
It carried over.

>>19979776
>>19979930
here ya go
https://mega.nz/#F!UjgXERbB!g0kRIa3CnOgp0-DV0GozAw

Is there list of puppets that can be encountered by route for expansion?

>>19986803
https://pastebin.com/61LkSFtn

>>19986828
And there I was going to use Japanese wiki
Thanks

>>19986803
There's a table of each location in the walkthrough of the strategy guide. But >>19986828 is more simpler.

>>19985819
>"I come anon."
I wish Futo would say that to me.

How do you build Extra Hecatia?

>>19987395
With love and gentle care. You want to be be head patting as much as possible and hold her hands when you walk side by side.

>>19987395
four scoops of mutant mass 3 times a day

>>19987395
You can't doing her mixed sweeper with the moves that she has, it's better a one stat focused like Aegislash in Pokemon, you could have 2 Extra Hecas.

Remillia wasn't too hard, she might have been nerfed, but Kanako was very tough. Had to criss cross switches while my Dai's seed sapped everyone except Kanako.

>>19988083
The level curve is a bit all over the place.

>>19988168
I came so hard remi

>>19988187

Post teams

Well?

>>19989041
Depends, is it fluffy?

Was it like this in the original as well?

>>19989694
wtf translation team

So this expansion is a time loop after the base game or something?

>>19989998
Yukari explains everything once you read the final book.

>>19989025
running two, here's the primary

>>19990027
and a theme team

The "Who?" fairy will be replaced at Misty Lake.

Extra or Speed Seija?

>>19989025
What style should i give koishi

>>19991194
Extra

Do boss puppets just have extremely high stats for their level? I just fought Utsuho and she one shot a puppet with a move that wasn't effective

>>19991380
>do puppets get stronger per level
Gee i dont know anon

>>19991411
I forgot to mention mine was 10 levels higher

>>19991380
I've no hard proof, but from my experience I think it's likely that bosses have perfect IVs (+15 points at level 50) in all stats. It's also possible she was wearing a choice item. And in case you aren't already doing it, look at the stats of your puppets to see where they do well. Puppets with high attack and low HP/defenses such as SpeedGengetsu can be oneshot by pretty much anything regardless of type effectiveness.

>>19991194
How has your extra kokoro been treating you? I just changed my over and haven't been super impressed yet.

>>19991585
Power Kokoro best Kokoro because of Infinite Changes.

What happens if a contrary Sejia uses a stat lowering move while a reverse function Sagume is on the field?

>>19989025

>Fear
>Halves a Puppet's Spread Attack stat.
What the SHIT?

THAT'S what it does?

>>19991974
yeah you just wrote it dummy

>>19991974
>>19991985
Top Baka

Anyone bought the charm from Tewi in bamboo forest? Does it do anything?

>>19989694
wait a minute i dont remember this and i finished shard of dreams

Played through some of the base game years ago, lost everything in a hard drive failure. Should I start over with the base game and clear that first, or is it okay to go straight into the expansion?

>>19993647
do you want to play game or other game with more content

so how does netplay work? should I be using code or IP?

man I can't decide which style flan should use. Power seems like the go to glass cannon build, but if she get's hit first it seems likely she'll get one shot.

>>19994339
get 2 flans, silly

>>19994358
holy shit i'm retarded, thanks man, but which style is the better one?

>>19994392
Get all, silly

>>19993139
I almost missed it too since I hardly read the post battle comments after having already played through the base game. I had to do a double take after the text flashed on the screen and I could swear that there was something wrong with it.

>>19988168
why scarlet sisters are like that

>>19995098
flanally

>>19995098
I came super hard Flan.

>>19995052
The thing is, I usually read the post-battle comments. It might've been because I played the prerelease translation. I do remember the fairy saying the "Omae wa mou shindeiru" thing, so it might've been a gimmick with that specific fairy.

>>19995722
I checked the discord when I saw that playing the beta. Whatever the line was it apparently had a translator's note saying "make it weebish"

Power or Extra Junko?

>>19989025
Current team. Been swapping out murasa with power remilia constantly. Can't really decide on who to settle on. The rest have been performing consistently well apart from suika. She's a new recruit so I need more time to tell. Yorihime has been a powerhouse ever since I style changed her.

>>19997394
D Suika is really god damn good, you'll see why soon if you don't already

>>19997394
What's the deal with P Murasa? D has Inverse Toxin and E has Fast Talker, so they have some neat gimmics to utilize, but what exactly sets P apart from them?

>>19997394
How's A Akyuu treating you?

Is there any point in going into the dream realm in the cabin as soon as you have access to it? can I go back if I leave?

>>19998089
I think you can buy more of those pills and revisit it.

>>19997876
Power murasa has Stream Form, which I was hoping to make good use of by giving her void skills. Didn't go so well since I haven't learned any void skills and I don't have any void skill cards. Not yet at least.

>>19997975
She's good as long as you remember what she is weak to. It is very satisfying switching her in to avoid having a puppet faint and seeing the next attack be completely nullified. She's immune to most things and so it's not hard to work with. She can also learn changeling and I been using it often to switch her in, kill an opponent that very turn, and then switch her out with another puppet when the opponent switches his puppet. That's two free swaps without taking any damage.

>>19998089
by the time you CAN get there, you just SHOULD

New exclusive puppets and a few nice items. They're also all around level 20

How do you build Extra Hecatia? Max out focus and spread attack?

>>19998356
Disregard Ex Hec and build P Hecatia instead

>>19998356
http://www.gensou-suwako.com/correct/data_append/URViewer/URchara.php?CHARA=E%E3%83%98%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E3%82%A2

Well here are the statistics on how nips are building her. Just copy the Japanese name of skills and search for it on the wiki to get the skills names.

>>19998356
Build your own instead of relying on others. It's funner that way.

>>19998456
I've been thinking about making an english frontend of gensou-suwako. Google translate doesn't quite cut it.

>>19998118
>>19998323
Alright cool thanks guys.

>>19998476
Ya google translate definately does not cut it. It is quite tedious to copy the names then search them on the wiki to get the correct translation. Though the page itself is easy enough to understand after a few tries.

Though looking at the percentages the preferred build for EHecatia is Supernatural Border with Shooting Press being you main offensive move with Moonbow and Over Ray being popular filler moves though her offensive move set mostly depends on what you are trying to counter using her. Also 64 HP ev and 64 ATK ev with a ATK boosting nature also seem to most popular ev and nature.

What's better for Meiling, Speed or Defense?

>>20000444
Definitely Speed, Defense is basically worse in every way compared to Defense Sara
Also very nice digits.

>>20000000

anyone want some netplay? I can host.

What style would you guys say is best for Medicine?

>>20003956
Extra

>>20003956
Defense

oh boi

>>20006458
What's the problem anon?
It's just a big pretty flowering tree
Who knows you might even find a pretty girl there who you could take a nap with under this tree even!

>>20005359
>>20006026
which is it

>>20006920
Power

>>20006920
Power

>>20006458
When you get into Hakugyokurou?

>>20007021
After finishing up Makai.

>>20007047
It appears on a separate page on the gap map, along with Heaven, the Yakumo residence and the mausoleum.

Can you somehow reset PP distribution?

>>20008133
Eventually there will be an item to. Its in post game though IIRC.

Extra Renko is too broken.

So what's the difference between the different capture threads? "Higher quality" doesn't really say much.

>>20009282
Less likely to fail and lasts more turns, I believe.

>>20008133
Postgame item 'Clear Stream Bun'.

>>20009282
Have you never played pokemon?

I've been looking for Hecatia for 2 hours, please give me strength

>>20009860
ouch

Worst for me was getting Sagume who ALLEGEDLY has a normal rate of appearance, but showed up after an hour... then used an escaping technique for her first move :|

Final stage looks awesome

>>20009860
Did you find her yet, anon?

>>20010344
No I decided to go to bed instead. I'll keep looking tomorrow.

>>20008292
Shuckle is pretty scary dude

>>20009839
As far as I recall, pokeballs don't seal Pokemon so I can beat the shit out of them in 2-3 turns.

>>20010724
Shuckle + Toxapex + Milotic is pretty scary dude

>>19993647
>>19993674
Not the same guy but same question. Is the expansion the base game + bonus content? I started the base game without expansion for a few hours already and don't want to start all over again after 50+ hours.

Does anyone know what the formula for damage calculation is? I assume it's similar to the pokemon formula, but it would be nice to know for certain.

>>20012607
Is the expansion the base game + bonus content?
Yes.

>>20012738
http://en.tpdpwiki.net/wiki/Statistic

>>20012830
Unless I'm blind there's no damage formula there.

>>19971570
I get to step 7 and then it breaks. Neither the base game or the expansion will launch. Why?

>>20014895
Oh, we're already dead.
