after severals tests, i can assume that friendship works as a huge focusing damage state. i was witnessing keiichi's charged shot huger/faster/stronger and being yellow, under this mode when the cursor was double layed and flashing => basically, the second hypermode "friendship" enchanced your damage if your target is the same of your partner. so, if i'm not mistaken, it can described to this : First hypermode Oyashiro -the gauge is filling while being damaged -hypermode is activated automatically -hypermode prevents the character being knocked back. (first hit only, not linked consecutive strikes) Second hypermode Friendship -the gauge is filling while damaging -hypermode is activated by pressing on "special" -hypermode enchances shots (charge/refill speed), enchance shots while attacking partner's target. the main problem with friendship is that the bar is filling pretty slowly with melee character (well, not really easy with keiichi anyway, but was kinda easy with mion) because of the "damage dealed only". also, i get the feeling that the granted extra damage depend on which attack you are performing (i didn' feel a lot of difference while meleeing with keiichi under friendship mania; and i saw no difference with mion [edit] after some aditionnal tests, the friendship hypermode affect keiichi's charged shot (lv1) and mion basic shots. affect only shots) in overall, the friendship hypermode is really tricky, since you must switch to the same partner target. without the first green order "focus", it is really a pain with the computer~~ but i need some details about it, since i'm using the trial version only ~~. back on the thread, my questions about daybreak : 1) does the oyashiro hypermode do something else along the flashy state and the knockback resilience (not a complete immunity, saddly)? (extra damage? increased speed?) 2) general options : http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/8...ptions1pr5.jpg what do the first 3 options do? [answer found : 1) tone shading enabled/disabled. 2) shadows enabled/disabled. 3) texture level normal/low) a) i don't know if it is my dll or something else, but i must turn the second option to right (off?) just like in the above screenshot, otherwise, the background in battle is... flipping like crazy. see the screenshots below - http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/4...razybg1gk8.jpg - http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/1...razybg2po4.jpg - http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/9...razybg3rh3.jpg the characters roam fine, but the BG go so insane that it's impossible to know if a wall is in front of me or not, etc. c) the first option simply make the weapons disappear, and the character under hypermode (you still recognize the humanoid forms from the silly purple/blue aura) 3) battle setting : a) http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2...ptions2dp8.jpg i have my idea of the highlight option, but i still need confirmation : does this option increase the HP bar? (i noticed that the damage taken by the characters are halved, or simply, the damage doesn't change but the numerical value in the HP bars are increased) (answer : defense is set by the %) b) http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/2...ptions3lg0.jpg for this option, however, i have absolutely no clue about what it does (although i tested a lot, i don't feel any difference between 50% and 200%) (answer : charging speed of the hypermod bar) 4) commercial version a) how does the multiplayer mode work? only in LAN/net, or you can split the screens? b) are the graphics different between commercial and trial versions? (according the screenshots shown on twilight frontier, it would be that) sorry for the huge amount of questions, i have a "near to none" japanese knowledge, so it was pretty hard to find informations about daybreak ~~ (thanks to sushi-Y, the main gameplay is well explained)

A couple quick things: oyashiro mode only gives you 'super armor' for one hit, repeated hits will still knock you back. It also gives you a minor defense bonus, and for some characters grants extra attacks with the special button. (Rena, Keiichi, a few others)
Friendship mode speeds up the charge or cooldown of ranged attacks. When locked on the same target as your partner, your ranged attacks improve also. You can do multiplayer with split screens, but also you can connect to another IP for online play... however it's poorly programmed and lags pretty bad for anyone other than the host. |

http://07th-expansion.net/Cgi/clip/clip.cgi It looks like this guy's serious, they actually went to the Izu Islands to get the materials for this new "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" (is the na going to be blue this time? ). Hmm, now that I think about it, the island setting can really make for some interesting situations. Not to mention it'll be a nice change of breath from the stuffiness of urban stories. But do something about that title, Ryukishi-san. |

It depends on where Ryukishi-san wants to go, really. I'm sure he has enough support and power to turn 07th Expansion into a commerical company if he wanted to, but without a proper staff (a proper genga artist (character art), graphical artist (he can't use edited photographs as backgrounds forever ), colorist, and (at least one) dedicated programmer + maybe music composer), he's not going to be able to make games that look any better than Higurashi (which isn't very good looking, by market standards ^^; ). So, if he's satisified with where he's at right now, there's no need for 07th Expansion to go commercial. Likewise, if he chooses to go commerical, he will have to put together a standalone staff (because a lot of things you do in doujin, such as using outside resources, becomes restricted when you go commercial). Judging from the recent trip to Izu islands, it looks like he's still trying to do things by himself (+ his current "family staff" ). Maybe somewhere in the middle, he'll realize that he can't do everything on his own anymore and recruit a proper staff? Let's hope so. |

But for some people, it's Ryukishi's drawings that make Higurashi so moe~. It is blasphemy to hire genga artists to replace Ryu-chan's...UNIQUE drawings! wwwww |

It was meant to be a doujin novel copying the original Higurashi style (in terms of artstyle and presentation), with a brand new story taking place in present time featuring the decendents of the main characters from the original game. Unfortunately, the project ran into a pile of controversy from the fans (mainly for the copying of the original game, and for "making a doujin novel of a doujin novel". All of this felt like they were hijacking a personal creation and adding their own ending to it), so after a storm of complaints and flames, it was shut down. |

Kimiyoshi Natsumi!! I had no clue they would include her!
She's the protagonist in Onisarashi-hen, a manga exclusive chapter that recounts her and her family's life after the Great Gas Disaster. Wow... I really want this game, but my japanese is too rudimentary for anything at the moment... |

If not, you can always read the English patches for Minagoroshi (assuming you've seen all the anime already). |

How far did you get with that, anyway? Finished Onikakushi yet? I might start working on doing that myself. Glad Matsuri FINALLY has a release date though. It's taken them long enough, though hopefully the wait will have been worthwhile.
And yeah, basically it's a case of whether you can read Japanese or not. If you can't, you're extremely limited and will just have to follow the Minagoroshi patches or get to work learning the language. They're not very expensive and all you do is click and read text basically. If you've got a Paypal account (or can get one) you can get all of them from Paletweb. Question Chapters, Answer Chapters, Epilogue Disc. |

http://07th-expansion.net/Soft/Taiken.htm As for Minagoroshi-hen, it's included in the final "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai" (answer chapters from Valdra's link above) disk released during C71. On that disk you will also get Meakashi-hen (5th chapter), Tsumihoroboshi-hen (6th chapter), and Matsuribayashi-hen (8th and final chapter). The question chapters (Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, Tatarigoroshi-hen, and Himatsubushi-hen) are also included in a single "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" disk (question chapters from link above). Rei (epilogue disk from above) is a "Side Story" of sorts that you should only read after having finished all 8 chapters from the main game first. You can also get the game from Himeya. Just search for "Higurashi". |
