After this one it seems

Well, I'll wait first how the remake changes the battle system before deciding whether or not to bother again. Aselia had a few things I prefered more than in Seinarukana, but then again my preferences are rather boring

As for Seinarukana: Finally finished Katima's route. Okay-ish but I knew that the sub-heroine routes were shorter. The cast was enjoyable and I really liked Naya's voice and elderly? speech pattern . The OST has some very nice tracks and the branch world journey was also neat.

Spoiler for Complaint:

The drama was cheap and mostly stupid. However, while I rolled my eyes at the drama after Evolia's defeat in Chapter 6, her farewell scene in Ch. 10 was for me touching *lol* (rather contradicting, right?). The whole attempt to reboot the southern<> northern god conflict felt lackluster as did the past life characters (Satsuki's). And let's not talk about Iyaga . I'll wait for that until I'm done with Narukana's route at some time. I think I'll finish Aselia first to refresh my basic knowedge. I think the romance - for whatever it was worth - would have been more pleasant without the harem antics (coming from a die-hard sugary sweet romance fanboy). I was fine with Aselia the Eternal's approach, even though I'm aware that the circumstances are quite different.

I'm not sure whether I go for Nozomi/Satsuki's route first or jump straight to Narukana's but fortunately it's super easy to manipulate the usable mana + IT number with Cheat Engine . My first run was properly done.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Yeah....I am looking forward most to battle system and artwork changes

[PhoenixG]

Premium special edition? Looks like the special edition wasn't special enough

I really like the cover art.

[TwilightsCall]

I hope I can get the PSE without having to go to an actual store...far too lazy for this :/

I guess now I have a reason to hurry up and finish the other 4 routes in Seinarukana. Damn it feels so good to just have a date to look forward to, Christmas is going to be great this year xD

EDIT: As an aside, does anyone know what the random girl with a 20 on her face is supposed to mean/represent? lol

The girls with the 20 as "glasses" is a link to TGSmart (Tech Gian) which has apparently its 20th anniversary.

@Seinarukana: It feels good to cheese through the first chapters with level 30 charas in Normal . I've decided to first do Nozomi and as a (final) 3rd run Narukana on Hard.

And the final dungeon an Aselia the Eternal is a drag. Nothing is worse than the enemy (icons) not moving a single space while you trudge from dot to dot to dot.

[TwilightsCall]

I enjoyed that mission the first time. It felt like a boss rush, trying to find a way to face down all the Eternals where half of them seemed like almost impossible fights.

After the first time though...yeah, it gets a little...agonizing lol.

I strongly recommend you do a Satsuki playthrough before you do a Narukana run, especially if you plan to do it on higher difficulty.

Thanks, I'll include her somehow. I'm not really interested in doing Super Hard as I assume that the formerly obtained route-specific skills won't be automatically upgraded . Maybe two Hard playthroughs.

No worries. I recommend Satsuki because you will need her if you want to do the Narukana route. That's as much as I can say without spoiling it. Also, Satsuki's route moves are almost on par with Katima's. It's why Katima was #3 and Satsuki #4 on the power rankings behind Euphie and Narukana.

imo super hard mode is easier than hard, since hp isn't high enough to really feel the power of % based skills or your skills isn't strong enough to kill them due to the high hp. And most annoying part is Nozomu doesn't scale well in hard mode and almost useless in super hard until he gets immortal will. The fun part is Nozomi is exactly the opposite. In normal she has decent offensive and is great defensive. On hard/super hard her defensive stays great + her enormous HP and really great offensive due her % based skills. <3 shot breaker and buster typhoon.

Although the real challenge lies in the low usage count. But it can also be used as a strategy against bosses. One time I beat naru-Yaaga with Nozomu by withering her defense skills to 0, using dual edge 1.

[Mahou]

Well, the difference of the ultimate attack skills (in terms of the % value) between the difficulties doesn't seem to be as big as I feared. Katima from 10 to ultimately 18% is a bit unfortunate but to me as a layman bearable, in contrast to Naya where the jp. wiki states an increase from 10 to 25%
I'll wait and see. I have just cheesed through Normal past Nozomi's first h-scene so that my 3rd playthrough can be soon depening on my motivation.

(https://www.melonbooks.co.jp/detail/...1&adult_view=1)

Also. it's listed on Melonbooks as 18+, which I think is a mistake. The Xuse page makes no mention either way, but the old website said it was All Ages, so....

Is there a difference between Japanese Windows and Windows elsewhere?


(assuming system locale and such are set to Japan)

There may be differences. For example, there are VNs which require some sort of additional workaround even if you have changed every system setting to Japanese (as most VNs demand). I'm no IT expert or anything close, but I think the old Windows Language Packs had served that purpose because it changed also the icon names like My Computer, Recycle Bin etc to Japanese.

[TwilightsCall]

I know there was a difference for Windows XP since the original Seinarukana wouldn't work for me until I got a Japanese XP disc, but I'm preeetty sure that distinction stopped being a thing at Windows 7. Not 100% sure, but I guess we'll find out come December lol.

EDIT: Oh nevermind, it's actually cheaper through Melonbooks because their price includes tax. Of course it goes back up once you include shipping, but before that its about 400 yen cheaper. Sorry Melonbooks!

[Zetsuen_no_Myuu]

Buying for item #1 and #2.
