April is the month of Uula. Be nice to her.
For those who missed it. ZigmaZero, the guy who's translating Innocent Rules on f95, translated Innocent Rules 2. Here's the link.aHR0cHM6Ly9waXhlbGRyYWluLmNvbS91LzVlY0Q3d0FiUse a base64 decoder for it.
>>3452110>more coomer garbage
Faltoga CG when?
>>3452110flat bitch
>>3452258lol lmao
>>3452112The worst part is that people actually play it for the story. I've played the first one and it was shit as a porn game. You have to do like 2hs of boring generic rpgmaker dungeon crawling slop to get 3 "lewd scenes" that are basically 1cg each one with text below (and maybe some random scenes while crawling where some companion gets raped by tentacles or something). Then repeat again and again every time you come back to the town. Also, the game doesn't acknowledge the main character having sex with the girls because it's meant to be optional. So the story is taken more or less in a serious tone while all the sex happens in a void
>>3452315That's just like, your opinion, man
>>3452315You’re supposed to play for the whole package. The porn isn’t the focus.>Also, the game doesn't acknowledge the main character having sex with the girlsAnon, you just revealed that you didn’t play the game.
I really want to fuck this rabbit
Bunnies can be pretty funny.
But dare you enter this funny bunny's magical realm?
>>3452112>>3452315I agree, these grapes really are too sour
>>3452110Uula is built for bullying and exploding.
>>3452355>>3452384The bunny is both cute and funny.
>>3452325Would be remiss of us to not point out that companions don't get raped by monsters in sequel games. If anyones getting raped by anything it's going to be MC.
>>3452811Well yeah. I don't think there are many lesbian monsters. And the monsters themselves would just get more mana from killing the party and then grabbing Mana Tank for themselves. That's pretty much already what happens.
>>3452811To have knowledge specific enough to bring up what I assume it supposed to be the plant yet ignorant enough to think the sex is optional and never acknowledged makes me think he's just one of the NTR shitposters.

>>3453178The gameplay is good. It's highly customizable party-based JRPG combat with a lot of skill tree and gear customization. The whole gist of the gameplay is that you need a good strategy to win. You can even do stuff with a single party member if you prep enough for the fight.https://youtu.be/xSSrqOXW3Ko?si=TP9gmNP1DKSIoqC9
>>3453203But the coomer shit invalidates any and all of that.If you want your game to be taken seriously, stop with the pointless porn garbage.
>>3453220>But the coomer shit invalidates any and all of that.NTA, but why? is it because you just don't like porn or is there something fundamental about porn that somehow makes everything around it less good? Like, could the sequel games stay 100% and just remove the porn and the game would be somehow improved?I genuinely don't understand this perspective and it seems to be pretty common, I get that 99% of porn games are shit, but you're arguing that the porn itself is a corrupting force that makes the game fundamentally worse and I want to know why.
>>3453220The porn works because of the setting. It would be laughable if there was no sex happening in a world where the MC was the only guy around.
>>3453228>The porn works because of the settingtranslation: "the setting and story are so poorly written that it requires porn to make it palatable"
>frogposterI expected as much.
>>3453220>>3453259Anon I think you might just be scared of sex.This is honestly a really big pet peeve for me personally, the idea that a work including explicit sex somehow instantly invalidates its merits. It always just comes off as childish to me. The idea that anything and everything is fine to include in your story, as long as it isn't sex, since sex is some black magic that instantly makes everything else bad, or matter who well written or justified it is. I never understood why that mindset is so common, especially in the west (my assumption has always been it's a result of our Christian roots, but I'm not entirely sure).Like, how does the setting being written in such a way that sex is the natural conclusion make it poorly written? Wouldn't not including sex in a setting like Ordowald be poor writing, instead of the opposite?And on the topic of being taken seriously, honestly I feel the fact that so many people get filtered by sexual content is in a lot of ways a plus. Annoying people can't handle it while everyone else who doesn't have a visceral reaction to a fundamental aspect of life gets to enjoy a great story.I know I'm falling for bait but this is something that I think about way too much.Thanks for reading my blog, by the way.
>>3453220But it's okay when Baldur's Gate 3 does it, right? Fuck you and your hypocrisy you don't belong anywhere near my medium.
>>3453275>And on the topic of being taken seriously, honestly I feel the fact that so many people get filtered by sexual content is in a lot of ways a plus. Annoying people can't handle it while everyone else who doesn't have a visceral reaction to a fundamental aspect of life gets to enjoy a great story.This is true actually. It’s because porn games in themselves filter both normalfags and children.
>>3453333Yes, it is OK when Baldur's Gate does it because its purpose is not for you to jack off to.
>>3453347anon you're arguing with people who play a fucking cuckold ntr game do you really think you're going to convince their wormridden brains of anything? go learn the fucking piano or something dog

Why is Fake Rabi so cute bros...
>>3452938Imagine double naizuri with both Frabi and Char.
>>3453386It's because Rabi is cute too, and he's just a doppelganger of her.

>Heard both from /v/, /vg/ and here for literal ages that ASYLUM was supposed to be the shit game of the series>Finally boot up and playing the stuff>Almost all of the scenes hit >Plot was interesting, multiple finals were a nice change Ino was corrected>Managed to be the Sequel game that I got the least lost on the mapMind explaining urselves? Hakika REALLY outdone himself here. My only gripe with it is that I really began to miss my dumb party mates spewing nonsense after a while. I wish Hakika had actually implemented at least a proper duo for Malice and not the automatons that she gets.With only Kludge left now, i gotta ask Does Olivia has an anal scene? I hope I don't get an no on this one
>>3453842First two points are fine, but>>Managed to be the Sequel game that I got the least lost on the mapGenuinely, what the fuck is wrong with you?
>>3453858Im stupid
>>3453842I like the game too. I just wish it had more customization options with the familiars. It’s lame that they have such small skill trees. The h-scenes did grow on me over time too, I think the familiars and Ino have the best scenes. The wallbutt scenes were really the only ones I liked from Lars and Merchant. What were your favorites?Also, the best part of the game for me was the soundtrack, by far.https://youtu.be/sG9Lph3g9dE?si=YlqWrsz74aXp4OqShttps://youtu.be/ESLD7EVa2Lo?si=wkPmhyV_FTp4yu-Bhttps://youtu.be/o4MZvVbZa3s?si=RAAp4RaYGvNWpGtJFor your kludge questionYes, Olivia has an anal scene
>>3453881>I just wish it had more customization options with the familiars. It’s lame that they have such small skill trees.Yeah, it was kinda weak on that aspect, the other games had huge ones that completely changed how the character behaved in battle, while in ASYLUM it's mostly just stats.>What were your favorites?Everything with Ino, Merchant and specially Coldrens. Didn't like Lars that much and Versa was also good Except the ham one. For the soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MZvVbZa3s was really good, probably the best main menu one until now.>spoiler*Whew* thanks anon.
I honestly wonder what the hell hakika was thinking with Yolnaya. Even the prime mechagods went down by turn 4 and I'm only level 72. These numbers have made my dick harder than most of the scenes in kludge
>>3454119Yolnaya has been pretty consistent throughout Kludge's patches. Ironically she used to be the worst character tied with Lusica. Although, that's more because the other characters got nerfed directly and indirectly...Yol's probably the best short-term DPS now
>>3454173Is this AI generated? The only character that ever got nerfed was Kuu, he lost that preemptive attack skill from his best weapon since it secretly gave a shitload of AGI and let him oneshot everything.https://youtu.be/tn5RPK7329M?si=OkynruC_GKI9guZr
>>3453710Kinda weird she has the anxious trembling mouth while in-game she is the one that acts the scariest and mortherliest
The only thing hakika posted today was that he 100%'d Dragons Dogma 2. He also has a catgirl wife. https://twitter.com/hakika_/status/1779419833010139258
>>3454387She is mildly Alma flavored.
>>3454281She's just happy to see (You)
>>3454119Stacking attack buffs is a hell of a drug.If you can get lecs rez buff on Nazuna in Awake she can stack her one turn only 100% and 150% attack ups buffs with her 20% and Kureha's 15% and do some genuinely insane damage.
Maria
>>3454473Sounds like fun. Looking forward to seeing what kind of numbers I can hit on awake after I finish. Same with Blight since I really had no idea what I was doing. Plus I really miss Uula
>>3454936The biggest numbers in blight come from the Apocalypse axe's weapon skill. But you can only use it once per battle.
When is the new game coming?
>>3454942Late this year
what's been the most memorable part of the SEQUEL + spinoff games for you guys?
>>3454965I guess when we explore the Outside of the Mana-Barren Grounds for the first time. Also felt like a huge missed oportunity not having any NPCs to interact with there.
>>3452111I'm filtered. Don't know how to reach the Chimera, Ghost, or Mimic.
>>3454965>memorableits not my favorite moment, most hated, or even funniestI just keep thinking about that little conversation we have at the bottom of Gramtoa. I almost expected MT to talk to her and say, you're right, it is ok now.
>>3453842I did go out and download Asylum + save for the scenes and was pleasantly surprised. So many of them were great, to the point where I almost wish I had played the game. Especially since the setup seems intriguing. But hearing about the incredibly large maps is enough to put me off. I'm still not watching the dog scenes, though.
>>3454965Major spoilers for bothColony, when when Auris realizes she's going to have to kill Shin after allThat or in Awake, everyone gathering in the graveyard after Sheena's death
>>3454965The last boss of Blight main story and the last boss of postgame story. Both of those had very similar atmospheres with a slight difference between the two that really set it apart and really gave meaning to the meaning of Blight in the title. It was basically putting down old dogs that were way past their prime and living was pure suffering for them. It just felt really, really desolate in a way I can only call kino.
>>3454984For the ghost, you need to get the oil slime through the cracks on tbe blue box on the underground floor. Then she shows up outside that box, but only towards the end of each day.For the mimic, you just need the zombie girl and you take her through the bottom left vents of the underground area.I didn’t get the chimera either when I played, but there is a walkthrough here. https://sanpingame.x.fc2.com/doujin/innocent_rules2_41/highscore.html
>>3454965Definitely the ending of colony. This simple picture is absolutely kino and says a thousand words. The game’s logo popping up right after the credits and Auris’s dialogue getting you hyped for the postgame felt amazing too. I’m kinda surprised kludge didn’t have something like that.
New ci-en from hakika. It’s the second article about thirst’s side characters.https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/1119987>Tokimiya Ito is a great general that controls much of Shikinowa. However, she’s new to the position since she took over from her predecessor recently. She has Sasame Awayuki (the grey hag) as a consul that helps her out. >Yuuyami the fox monster owns a brothel in the capital of Shikinowa and is said to be the shadow ruler of the capital city. She has charm abilities much like succubi do. She will have scenes in the 1.00 release.>Lastly, Tsuzuri is Tsuzuri. She came to Shikinowa to train in the eastern part of the country, studying under a certain monster. We don’t know who. She’ll lend a hand to Nazuna and the crew as the game progresses. She’s still basically in love with Mana Tank as well, since her scenes from awake are canon.One notable thing is both Ito and Tsuzuri might not be getting scenes in the 1.00 release of the game, much like Ten and Rokumaki Nao. Hakika’s once again stating that he’ll hold a vote for which of these side girls should get scenes. I guess that’s similar to how kludge had it, where Vyner and Olivia won that post-release poll.
The Globo Homo™ would like to know your current location
We really did let that one guy come in and play all of Altine before he found out this was a femtop series
>>3455316It's a shame he didn't end up caring for SEQUEL but it's his own fault for doing zero research before playing an h-game, that's how you blunder right into your least favorite fetishes.
Art looks cute. What's the play order? Is SEQUEL: awake, the first one? Are these like full on 50+hs RPGs or pretty short?
>>3455327blight firstB A C A K LD IR T is the order
>>3455205Seems a bit unfair to include Tsuzuri in the poll, since she'll almost certainly win. Hakika admits he thinks there's already a demand for her scenes. Would rather she gets her scenes and the poll be for new characters only since any returning characters will be more popular by default.
>>3455327blight -> awake -> colony -> ASYLUM (spinoff) -> kludge -> L.Depth (spinoff) -> INNOCENT RULES (spinoff)Can skip the spinoffs if you want but they're all very cool and good. Spin-offs are usually more experimental or divisive so you can usually skip them without missing TOO muchThe games are around 20-30 hours, I'd say.
>>3455327https://gitgud.io/SEQUELGOD/sequel-bin
>>3455329>>3455333Thanks>>3455335Yeah, I was searching and found this same page, because not all the games were on f95. I was about to ask if anyone knew if it was legit, so I guess this is what I'm using.
>>3455340Just letting you know that these are (usually gentle) femdom games with a faceless self-insert MC. We recently had an anon play one of the writer's non-h games, enjoy it, then get super fucking pissed when he played Blight for the first time and realized what kind of series it is. For what it's worth, though, the majority of scenes are skippable and there's a decent number of anons who don't like the author's fetishes but still love the games.
>>3455316>>3455319It’s funny to me as well, but don’t forget that you can entirely play these games while ignoring the porn. I don’t do that myself, but a bunch of anons do end up doing that since they’re enjoyable regardless. Hakika even knows about that kind of audience, and that’s why the scenes are skippable from Asylum onwards.
>>3455329>Bacakl DirtWhat does it mean?
>>3455157Oh thank god. I tried and failed looking for the japanese wiki page on my own.I figured I was making a fatal error not being able to open up the double door leading to the ghost post-box release, and not having enough energy per day to get the titty ghoul past all the security bots. Thanks.
>>3455346when did the other anon get mad? Last thread?
>>3455830Yep. You can read it on the archives if you want.
>>3455500B light, A wake, C olony, A sylum, K ludge, LD epth, I nnocent R ules, T hirst
>>3455832Why would you people not warn someone. That's mean of all of you.
>>3455834Everyone told him to start via SEQUEL because Atline had a different cast, in a different era, made when Hakika was a different person.
>>3455834We assumed he knew what he was getting into and could read the thread before playing
Would the Colmana get their skill trees redone if they ever came back as playable characters?
>>3455346>there's a decent number of anons who don't like the author's fetishesFor the record Hakika gave me a smell fetish. The sweat of an unwashed woman or even dirty panties really is unbeatable.
>>3455857Probably. Personally I’d like to see them get skills related to their old weapon types from blight again. Nosh with a scythe, Sheila with claws, and Lec with swords would be cool.
>>3455857>>3456155When Rabi and Tirma are fought in Awake they kept Blight skills and even the Queen Heel combo. When she is reintroduced in Colony she got a revamped set skill tree focused on combo moves.Would make sense the Colmana would get modified skills, both to be more fair and broken in another way

>>3455032>save for the scenes and was pleasantly surprised. So many of them were great, to the point where I almost wish I had played the game.Yeah they were. You probably should have played it. It felt a bit shorter compared to the average Hakikage.>But hearing about the incredibly large maps is enough to put me off.I don't know if I just got lucky while exploring but the map felt more straight foward compared to the other games. I still don't get the hate maybe it's just me.
>>3456244I think it might just be you. Personally I didn’t get too lost in the game, but I couldn’t find the entrances to Indashal and Flesh eating Village for the life of me because I didn’t know there were stairs going down in Piercing Crag. Also the Bringer filtered me and I had to look that shit up. But after doing the Bringer, I was able to find Kaelmuseom and White Town myself, so I guess that counts for something.Oh, and I also got stuck at that one part towards the end of the story where you have to go to the basement in Albus’s Tower and interact with a story-marked wall to talk to Ino again. How the fuck was anyone supposed to figure that out?
>>3452110What mental illness compels a man like this one to make the same thread over and over again as soon as the last one gets archived ? The latest game (april fools ones dont count) in this series with an english translation came out a long time ago , and everything that we know about these games has been discussee to oblivion. The only messages in these threads are people circlejerking about their favourite girls , and people trying to convince other people into playing these games .
>>3456325>find the entrances to Indashal and Flesh eating Village>where you have to go to the basement in Albus’s Tower and interact with a story-marked wall to talk to Ino again.I got lost on both of these as well but i refused to read a guide.
>>3456339>The only messages in these threads are people circlejerking about their favourite girls. You need more?
>>3456339kys you no gaems lunaticpeople are still fucking discussing doom and thats older than 80% of you fucking thread vultures that stay on this site just to be in threads they don't like theres fucking DDLC threads fucking Katawa shoujo threads still on this site and you bitches still can't find one fucking game to show even a tiny bit of the same interest in something you supposedly give a shit about
What mental illness compels a man to deliberately enter a thread full of things that he doesn't like, angering himself?
>>3456339We get news and art every day or so, the dev’s an autist that knows how to keep fan engagement high. He doesn’t really disappear for long periods.You should probably post your question in the Black Souls thread next time, they’re the ones that are the real circlejerkers. They haven’t had news in years, nor a new game.
>all of the most powerful women in ordowald have sipped saxa's pisswhat does this mean for the future
>>3456366Don’t think about it too hard. Just drink some more to get stronger.
Why didn't they ask Saxa to cure Lestea's blindness, I know they don't want to rely on her too much when she can literally level mountains but that should be a harmless wish
>>3456464haha...
>>3456339>(april fools ones dont count)They certainly do thoughever
>>3456464Worse: they could have asked her to turn Fake Rabi into a woman and didn’t do that
>>3456538
>>3456464I wondered about that myself. I assume Hakika didn't want the extra work of editing the CGs where her eyes are visible or the extra writing of how Lestea would be with her sight restored. But that aside, I do wish there had been an option to ask Saxa to restore Lestea's eyes. Or at least an option to ask Lestea if she'd want that to happen to begin with.
>>3456464The second Saxa does anything at all half the plot falls apart. Same reason manta ray girl disappeared, never to be seen again

>>3457385Hot milf.
>>3457385Just what they liked I guess. I liked her design well enough, but her scene dialogue read too much like an ntr doujin to me. She also did like nothing in the previous game after a bunch of hyper other than insist Aeon wasn't always cartoonishly evil. The one document in Kludge did more to do that than she ever did, and it wasn't much.

if we don't see Lestea again in Thirst I hope she'll return in Wen Scala since she was too scared to explore that place the first time
>>3457970I think we’ll at least get a mention of Lestea since I’ll assume the hag is her mentor. She has a swordcane.
>>3457871You don't fuck Coldens; he does the fucking.
>>3453886I liked Coldens’ scenes the most because you got to see Mel and Malice get disheveled during his scenes.Also, speaking of Asylum, did anything ever come of the doppelganger monster guy in Indashal?
>>3457985>Ara, you know Lestea? Did she happen to show you THIS technique? *rapes you*
>>3458267Mana Tank is already familiar with that technique though
Quick question, why is Coldens even in Asylum to begin with? Isn't it implied that he wasn't really sapient when he ate that dead kid? I feel like that can't really be considered sinful, it's just an animal doing what animals do. Sure he eventually got smart enough to feel guilty about it, but it just seems strange to me. It's been a bit since I played the game so I could just be talking out of my ass.
>>3458195>I liked Coldens’ scenes the most because you got to see Mel and Malice get disheveled during his scenesThe juxtaposition of most of Malice's scenes compared to this...fine i'm going to watch the dog's scenes, I hope you're happy
>>3458361Yes he couldn't talk. But he still sinned regardless. Animals can be considered to be full of sin, just like base humans without morals. But honestly, it's still kind of a crapshoot, and maybe hakika just decided to make him stand for gluttony after he could start talking. Who knows.
>>3458361>>3458451Also isn't it implied Mel was Coldens's caretaker? Which makes it extra hilarious and ironic that they fuck in Asylum
>>3458455It's not she's the hard worker who went into a murderous rage after getting no appreciation from the villagers anymore. Honestly I think asylum would have worked better if the cast were the sin monsters instead of them being their own thing
>>3458479I think what we got was fine, but I also would've liked if we got more backstory about the original sin monsters that are the distortions. It wouldn't have hurt.
>>3458451>>3458455There is a slight difference of understanding of sin, god(s) and afterlife between the west and east. I'm not sure how present japanese religion sees it as most of the time interviews I check indicate the japanese have become more materialistic and lost touch with that spirituality after losing the war (their gods falling) but the depiction of those things in Colony and ASYLUM are essentially a mix of concepts of both sides.The ''tsumi'', which is their equivalent of sin is what we are dealing with:>In ordinary usage, essentially the same meaning as the English "sin." In old Shinto, however, sickness, disaster, and error were also called tsumi, which thus formed a most comprehensive concept. However even stuff like natural disasters and actions beyond man were included>one notes that the occurence of evil was often understood as being caused by something beyond man's control; evil, including even moral and criminal offenses committed by men, was considered to be caused by evil spirits (magatsuhi no kami) >salvation from tsumi was considered possible by harae, namely, by purification, the removal of impediments, and the expulsion of the evil spirits. >This does not mean, however, that there is no acceptance of responsibility for restitution for sin. The sinner is regarded, not as naturally sinful, but as having been a member of a world of good and happiness; it is believed that by reminding him of this fact, the first step is taken to conquer evil and to restore him to his position as child of the gods.When you see the above, this is closer to the view the Alzhettians had of sin and their rites to wash it away and slay the resulting sin monster. The tsumi/sin isn't necessarily a person's fault as tsumi is seen as something beyond them, but still something they carry but it doesn't discern if the person was in his control or know he was doing right or wrong.
>>3458635Neat. Bravo hakika.
Sin is butts. Only evil comes out of it.
>>3458635The interesting part is that Alzhett similarly has a Christian side to the concept and penance with Auris believing she should shoulder the sins of her grandfather and seek to fix them while Emela’s Church spreading of forgiveness with prayers and remorse. It could be that Hakika tried to make Alzhett’s culture like that while reutilizing the lore he estabilished in the Era of Myth or his inherent beliefs line as a midway point.As for ASYLUM it’s essentially the jigoku, their hell. The translation kind of mixes it up due to lack of equivalent but my understanding is that rather than eternal suffering it’s essentially a compex purgatory. You end up in a corresponding place depending on the sins you committed in life and your stay is temporary in proportion as those sins are paid by whatever punishment in there. That’s why in japanese media you see so many characters claiming they will end in hell, even kinder ones fighting for good and the like. We in the west fear it since it’s eternal punishment, but their lighter views are due to seeing it as a purgatory and not necessarily a bad place depending on where you land. The ASYLUM is essentially that. Every section designed for a corresponding sinner with Ordeals prepared to make them change themselves.Kind of straying from the relation to the games but this is also why there is a disparity on our views of God and gods. Christianity sees as a trinity and one big creator, mythologies have pantheons with humane behavior. But the concept of “kami” is a broader definition spirits. Including nature simple spirits roaming the trees and the like. Not necessarily a big powerful figure although including one. This is why we have games like “God Eater” in them with characters noting the creatures were named “aragami” due to resembling gods. They were talking about the nature spirits nothing big like Zeus and Thor.
>>3457871>>3458195>>3458398I like how extra Hakika is in portraying Coldens as superior to any other males, from making girls cum in three seconds to immposibly fast thrust to the absurd gallons of cum. That shit irrepairably gave me a fetish, thanks Hakika
Don't you fags have plenty of other shitty H-games for your bestiality shit? Why can't Hakika just stick with Mana Tank only? Seriously what kind of mental illness do you cucks have to get off to that shit? Why don't you go to the Black Souls threads and hang with the Red Hood cucks?
>Redcuck mentioning his shitty fetish on a fucking Sequeru thread of all places
>>3458749Nothing wrong with having a fetish for large insertions, I like orcs in most h-games for that reason
>>3458749I don't think he's better than mana tank tho if he only lasts one shot. It's not like he endures for long either.
>>3452111wait so the update with the added super bosses is fully translated now aswell?
>>3452111oh nevermind its probably the april fools game.but is the original game fully translated now?

>>3457294>Alma on the marry tierFucking base->Maria on the only fuck tier>Shin, Uula, Yanie, and Lec on the kill tierUhhhh
>>3458948Not yet, but it’s in progress. ZigmaZero posted some good news on f95 today that he’ll have more free time soon, so I think he’ll be able to finish within a few months.
>>3458958>to finish within a few monthsthis sucks, i got ready for a replay.
>>3458949Ngl i hated those new taller sprites when thirst was announced but I think this just won me over.
>>3458977It took some time for the rest of the art style to change enough to make the tall sprites work properly.
>>3458977The taller sprites are fine. Hell, I like them since in Innocent Rules they pretty accurately portray the height of each monster. Mimic-chan is a lot shorter than Ino and it’s great to see.
I never beat ASYLUM's postgame so now I'm grinding the minisquare, what are the best brands? I somehow ended up getting a Third Eye brand really early and it's pretty awesome, but are there any must-haves?
>>3459022If I remember right, the best ones are the Brute, Toughblade and Lifeblade miragebrands, and the best unique weapons from Aryaum are the Reckless (paired with Brute Miragebrand), the Samurai Sword (allows Malice to solo the final superboss), and the Shuriken weapon for familiars (it’s insanely busted). Make sure you start playing in Aryaum intensity 3 ASAP since that’s how you get access to the level II miragebrands. Intensity 4 is optional but does give you better chances of weapons from chests. The sequel bin has a big section about it all.You may also want to consider the weapons from the revived distortions, a lot of them are very good such as Aemil’s familiar weapon (good for the final superboss on your attacker, and you need someone slow to shit bomb at the right time) and Destria’s Malice weapon (it’s good enough to allow Malice to solo stuff)Third Eye Miragebrand really isn’t that good since it costs all your brand slots.
>>3459022A shikinowan katana:https://youtu.be/DQhEJnpLTNg?si=QM7hWdCvhfxkb1wJ
Gonna post Sequel’s official doujin, for those who didn’t know it existedhttps://exhentai.org/g/1590261/fd9b0048b7/
>>3458929The post is making fun of Red Cucks though along with the Asylumfags.
>>3459113Did you solo the entire game? Damn, running around asylum alone just like Lars.
>>3459268Nah I found the video when the route’s final boss BTFO me royally. I didn’t know the Black Souls rules applied here that you can do unbelievable shit like that
>>3458949Nice and small.
>>3459488Reminder, none of the scenes in that game are canon
>>3459673Wait really? But I liked the scenes
Did you guys have a good Friday?
>>3460059I have a weird rash that make me fucking itchy all over but otherwise it's been okay.
>>3459244love Nyxcherish Nyxgive Tirma more scenes
>>3460061Tirma will return in two Sequel games. Nyx will return next game, probably
Slow. What do you guys think about Kalie?

https://twitter.com/hakika_/status/1781999385087459831Holy fuck, it’s the yuki-onna from Atline
>>3460749For reference
>>3460749Wasn't she also in Blight?
>>3460755Well, it’s the same design as the Atline one, I mean. The blight one was the same one, but she had a new design, the one we’re familiar with.
>>3460768Ah, I see.Well, I'm glad to see she grew some tits.
>>3460749WHY DID HE MAKE HER A HAG
>>3460793I dunno anon, she looked like a hag in Atline to me. Looks pretty accurate to the original.
>>3460768>>3460795Those are definitely different characters.One has blue eyes, the other yellow.
>>3460749>>3460751>>3460755>>3460768I thought Jack was the reason all yuuki-onnas were chibis but… the worst part is when you beat the yuuki-onna in Atline she disappears ans the party does wonder if she truly died or escaped. Considering Arknoah and Crowel survived until the SEQUEL era what are the chances Hakika has been saving her all the way from his first game?
>>3460886The likely answer is just that he forgot and them realized "Oh yeah, that" and wrote her into the story.Still no guarantee these are the same 2 people, could be a descendant from a separate branch of the family or anything else really.
>>3460886I doubt it. Hakika just probably felt like bringing back a design from the old games. It's not the first time he's done that.
>>3460919For those unaware, it's from Errasaga
why aren't globos real, reality is bullshit fuck reality man I wanna clar gf(bf)
Mediocre size artist here, drew Rabi sitting on a tiny MC if anyone's interested. Catboxed because even though it's SFW I feel weird posting fetish art on a blue board.https://files.catbox.moe/tpswzp.png
>>3460919oh, I forget this thing existed because it was so random
>>3460965Cute.
why do rpg maker games after xp look like complete and utter garbage?
>>3460971Funnily enough, it was random in both Errasaga and kludge. But at least in kludge, we got some lore for it.
>>3460965I don't have a size fetish, but I like it since it's more Rabi art. You drew Rabi well too.
>>3460965What the fuck, he's DYING! Help him.
>>3460965A fine addition to the folder. Thanks.
>>3460973>>3460980>>3460987Thanks for the kind words, anons!
Okay, I give up. I don't understand how people make these edits in like an hour. This is like a half hour's work and it looks like ass. Wanted to do Pirila too.
>>3460999For this part at least, it'd go a lot faster if you paint by numbers.>Draw a thin outline on a layer underneath the outline>Flood fill on that layer with the colors you want>Then go back and add details
>>3461002Yeah, I was trying to do that but my editing skills are limited to quick shitposted only so this was well beyond my skills to plan out. I had 3 layers for face and hair and 4 for hat for outlines-darks-lights-extra lights but my complete lack of skill gets in the way. I had the triangles on her hat looking good but somehow completely fucked up the layers and lost motivation. Kinda wish I had a cheap tablet for quick edits. Mouse sucks.
Hello. I'm alive.I've finished a few more of the Elder Dragons.I've moved houses, so I should be able to work more consistently again.Hope y'all are doing well.
>>3461074Hey nice. Still looking forward to that Ghost Path translation.
>>3460999>>3461005that already looks great anon!
>>3461074Yaaay!
>>3461005Keep it up bro. Looks good.
Playing through Asylum after finishing kludge. Man she has a really nice body. Personally the best in the series for me. So close to perfection. Too bad she has THAT
>>3461074So glad to see you're doing good man.
>>3461416But anon THAT is part of her appeal. You have much to learn if you have never experienced THAT for yourself.
>>3461212>>3461297Fine. Fuck that took forever.
>>3461455Aaaand saved. Here's my old Kludge OC since I'm not a drawfag.
>>3461490hot, I love my wife Lusica
>>3461490
>>3461455Amazing
https://twitter.com/hakika_/status/1782334698464932220The new monster girls have all been a hit so far. I really like this leaf one. The big black slime is still the best so far though.
>>3461445Thank fuck for that. Not even someone as cute as Versa could ever get me to go anywhere near beef.>>3461455Came out great, nice
There's something adorable about how auris acts at lewd times it kinda reminds me of nyxs behavior a little
>>3461770...Does he know?
>>3461847Shh, be quiet if he’s unaware
>>3461867What a chunker
>>3461867it's funny only her game has food items
>>3461921Infernal Cookie, Donuts, High Calore Meal, and Barbarian's Delicacy or whatever?
Among the heroines which one would say is the horniest? Side note, isn't it wondrous that nazuna and rabi bith share being a heroine and a party member? I wonder who else will join that club
>>3462025Rabi, Kuruha and Auris are probably all on the same level of horniness, I feel. I think the one that was least horny for Mana Tank's dick was Dita.>Side note, isn't it wondrous that nazuna and rabi bith share being a heroine and a party member? I wonder who else will join that clubI'd imagine Dita could return since she was very popular in Japan. I'm not sure if Auris would return since kludge already happened and she kinda already helped out there, in the postgame at least.
>>3461971They don't give buffs like the food in fat knight's game. I bet the Infernal Cookie would totally debuff everyone but the one weirdo each game says loves Inferno Cookies.
>>3462027Mana tank plap plap plapping her until she gained heart eyes was his most Chad move in the series. I was impressed it was almost like she got corrected
>>3462075Need more of this. Last time that happened was with Maria wasn't it?
>>3462113Sheena, he almost had kureha but he puttered out before she did.
>>3452110IS THAT KANYE QUEST!?
>>3462030Uhh anon, you're misremembering. Food items were in kludge
>>3462151I totally did. I thought it was in hers since one of the food items was the Knight Rations, and I just picture her pigging out on them.
>>3462204That's fair
>>3462151I don't remember these at all, which is probably a big deal I imagine since it probably like adds another 20k onto Uga's damage.
>>3462248>>I don't remember these at all, which is probably a big deal I imagine since it probably like adds another 20k onto Uga's damage.More like it can double Yolnaya's damage since the barbarian lunch gives you a bit of crit rate, you can one shot Idea using it if you get a little lucky
Speaking of kludge, I like that Mana Tank is breaking out into modern art with his crafting now. He's becoming H Da Vinci.
>>3462327He could be making the greatest works of his generation but instead he's still wrapping actual shit up in some leaves and handing them to girls.
>>3462361MT returns to monke in order to deal with the crushing fact that he can't(yet) implant nanomachines into his bloodstream so he can RISE
>>3462361He does it because it’s funny
>>3453275Often games with porn have nothing to filter because without porn they are crap. Your example of fate retard shows this. A sudden sex scene while escaping from a berserker or the nightly adventures of the whore Sakura is an addition to shonen shit.
>>3462886Auris a cute
I missed this, yesterday hakika posted all the monster girls so farhttps://twitter.com/hakika_/status/1782379639702507769Now that we have them all in one place, including the new ones, I want to ask: what's your favorite monster girl from the series?
>>3463195gyaru zombie sexchinese succubus sexmushroom girl sexslime girl extra sexslime girl (forma de negro) sexcowgirl paizuri sexnot kagerou sexwhite fox spirit sexyuki-onna sexweird kludge angel sexbunny robot sexresident evil boob monster sex
>>3463195I don't generally like when people ask about favorites, since it implies "Pick only one" - and if I had to, definitely Mimic.I think I was most sad that the bunny robot didn't get a scene when she was introduced in Kludge. iirc there is one for her in Innocent Rules, but I haven't played through it yet.
>>3463195It seems Hakika doesn't like shortstacks but imagine...tiny Japanese succubus with wide hips, big ass, and fat oppai...
>>3463195Magician still remain my favorite overall, but I do enjoy some visplord shenanigans.
>>3463114>the nightly adventures of the whore SakuraHeaven's Feel literally does not work as well as it does without the sex, I get you're a speed reader but a work can use sex to tell its story. This is exactly what I'm on about. It's suddenly bad to you because they used sex to work in narrative themes rather than a fight or whatever.
>>3452258Read this as fat log CG. had to double take.
>>3462886Just imagine for a second if she actually took a bite of that zing
>>3463195Cow Girl from Awake if it's for scene aloneShark Girls otherwise due to the gap moe that they are just toying with people for the reaction and aren't actually murderwhores.
>>3461455you should send this to hakika on twitter
>>3463195still dogsuicide pact machine is a distant second
>>3463195Mimic-chan. She's too cute. Needs headpats and hugs
>>3463195Is that an angel? I want a character like that next game could be seeing them justify their own lusts towards mana tank
>>3463614The angel was in kludge, go play that if you haven’t already
For the non virgins who play this game supernatural elements aside hw accurate is the sex in these games to your experiences?
https://twitter.com/hakika_/status/1783068157911167184The tanuki is SMUG
>>3463270Cool motive, still murder, whore Sakura.
>>3463777>braindead on the left>mana drainer on the right
>>3463614Angels are extremely rare and considered effectively extinct like true dragons. They basically appear only in or around the end of days which is why you only fight them on the ship in Kludge.
I had an entire day free man. An entire day I could have either played Kudge or studied for my exam in Friday. I barely talked to a few NPCs and barely did questions. I don’t know if I wasted a day procrastinating or I was just tired. I just wish I could get a buttjob from Alma
>>3464230Procrastination is annoying sometimes, but sometimes your body just wants to take a break from everything. So just take it easy and don't worry about it.
>>3464230>I just wish I could get a buttjob from AlmaMe too anon. Specially after the gym. I would probably sleep instantly after getting my mana stolen that way.
>>3464236>>3464316Thanks bros
>>3464067That still really bothers me. It happens and everyone is like "huh, that was weird" and moves on.
>>3464560Also, their halo is the game's title screen. You'd think they'd play a bigger (obvious) role. We could always get brick'd like two games from now, but for now their appearance makes almost no sense considering it wasn't the first time the world almost ended.
FUCKING YANIE IN THE DONUT AT VERY HIHG SPED UNTIL SHE LOSE CONTROL OF HER BLADDER
>>3464561>it wasn't the first time the world almost endedBut it is the first time a certain :> appeared in Ordowald.
>>3464566Still mad we never got any anal or footjob scenes with her.
>>3464561Isn’t the “almost” the cause? If we failed in saving the world in a game it was at stake like due to the Brand of Ronis or something like that wouldn’t then the angels step up?
>>3464671All you had to do was to ask the damn slut, MT
>>3464560It’s definitely foreshadowing for a future game. It’s also weird to think about who’s in charge of the angels, given that this series has several pantheons of gods (dragon gods, fantasy gods, monster gods) and yet there might even be one God or YHVH on top of that.
>>3464944Reminds me that Blight has people talk about how they used to pray through crosses, and back in Atline the crosses are the save points, which indicate there IS some truth to that.
Tokuhaku…
>>3465371bnuuy
>>3465371I didn't really liked his design at first but I've been slowly warming up to it. I just can't win against globos...
>>3465434the game was rigged from the start
>>3465434Same here. Hakika has got us by the BALLS
A girl will never suck yo dick like Frabi would. Give it up, str*ights men
>>3465434Yeah im beginning to like him as well. But his presence alone means another game without Clar so.....................
>>3465475One day for sure Anon, you must believe, Hakika wouldn't forsake us and then the reward will be sweet.
>>3465470I will give up when there's a globo with an ass to match Rabi or Maria's backsides.
>>3465470cosplay JAVs when?
>>3465485>An ass to match Goatsee or Anal QueenYou set a high bar, anon.
>>3465485Doesn't that already exist? It's Clar. His butt is huge.
>>3465545I thought Frabster had the biggest butt. Maybe a ratio thing that makes it look like that because I know Clar is a lanklet.
>>3465502But it's a necessary one. Only the true mogger will make me yield.>>3465545Don't know if it's bigger than them but it's indeed huge. I can't wait for another game of Clar.
>>3465545He do have quite the badonkadonk
>>3465555I'm fairly certain Clar had the widest hips among the Globos, from the measurement charts. He even mogs some girls.
>>3465580Yup, Clar definitely has a bigger waist size than Frabi does. Kuu doesn't have much either.
>>3465585He even score better than I remember damn I wanna sex him
>>3465585Frabi is Petite which is 2 tiers below Clar in height but Clar is only 4 spots ahead of Frabi. I think it's the ratio.
In finishing my studies, doing some mock exams and procrastinating a bit I'm back at Kludge so I must ask:Do I need to go through Kuu's scenes like how I needed with F.Rabi in Colony to unlock additional interactions and dialogues? I know they are all skippable but I wonder the impact they will have.
>>3465628You can do Kuu's scenes for some additional dialogues with Vyner and Dita towards the end, that's what I remember. The skip button is still there for all his scenes, so there's no harm in doing that.
>>3465631Alright
>>3465628>those aren't my glasses.png
https://twitter.com/nekomiya_yuuki2/status/1783487363085479948RAThakika also retweeted this and said Reda was one of his favorite characters, that’s why he still has her as the icon of his ci-en account and uses her picture for some articles. I guess there’s still a chance that we’ll get Reda in Sequel thirst then.
>>3466164I love this rat

SEQUEL FAAAGS!HAS THERE BEEN ANY TRANSLATIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS OF THE NEW GAME OR OLD GAAAAAAAAAAMESITS BEEN 2 YEARS ANOOOONS
>>3466351this year's april fools game got translated
>>3466362oh nice
>>3466351I don't think so. There's one guy on f95 who's done a partial translation of IR, but he said he was considering stopping because sub-par might be coming back to do it. I'm not sure that's a good idea considering he's already made progress, but that seems to be where we're at right now
>>3466368He already said he was continuing, he even updated his github page a bit and said he’ll have more time to translate in the coming months. He translated Innocent Rules 2 to remind people that he was alive too.
>>3466375I guess my news is a bit behind. That's good to hear though.
>>3466380He said it last weekhttps://f95zone.to/threads/innocent-rules-v1-02-leaf-geometry.163574/post-13507452
>>3466351I've made some again progress on Ghost Path after one of my several hiatuses.So no, not complete, but should be this year for sure unless I'm once again struck with catastrophe.
>>3466586oh i thought you quit mythseeker nice to see you again though man
I pray for one more Nosh scene before SEQUEL ends
It’s Friday
>>3465371So the bunny is the femboy?
>>3466778Yep, we're getting both a female monk and a male monk
>>3466779Hopefully their is a NSFW scene with both of them...
Curious on how many Sequel games Hakika will make... before stopping
>>3466800Given that hakika is an autistic workaholic and he makes games for a living, he's probably not going to stop anytime soon. I'd imagine he would end the Sequel series after maybe one or two more games after thirst, but that doesn't mean he'll stop making games.
>>3466801How many more regions after thirst be used for future sequel games?
>>3466909Probably Elcehil and Raml’alam. We have that tan egyptian girl to look forward to. Hakika can just add more regions to Ordowald if he wants to as well, given that the current map is only partial.
>>3466779tagmale and female in same situation
>>3466919TAN EGYPTIAN GIRL SEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
>>3466779Can he actually fight or is this another frabi situation?
>>3466968>Men>FightingIt is time for anon to learn his place.Shitposting aside, no clues, all we know is that he's a side character and the globo of Thirst.
>>3466968He should be a soul arts user (Joker class from blight) like Outoku is. He can probably fight since he's a monster boy too, like Clar.
https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/1121/article/1129422Hakika made a new article with all the monster girls, he's going to update it whenever he makes a new one too.
I LITERALLY HAD A WET DREAM ABOUT YANIEI'M FUCKING GONE NIGGA I'M BEYOND HELP
>>3467988So this is what funny bunnies do to a man...
>>3467988I had one yesterday about Rabi telling me to get ready for our date in 3 centuries. Weird shit
>>3467994>>3468037Rarely in my life have I woken up and felt this extremely discouraged at the same time.
>>3468125For some reasons steam and my bank are having a nigga moment and I can't buy shit from Gaben anymore, and I've been pretty cold, but outside of that it's been okay.
>>3468125Thankfully as peaceful as always. Feels like every Frabi Friday comes even faster than the last nowadays.
We talk about lewd alot so let's change it up a bit.What are your favorite battles in each game? Spoil if you gotta and is it for story reasons, music reasons or gamer reasons? As in, finally, a worthy opponent kinda deal
>>3468376Definitely the second superboss fight in Asylum. It's simply kino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MZvVbZa3s
So should Thirst release this fall or winter?
>>3468452Probably late fall. Hakika said the demo would be available in summer.
>>3468376Colony, the battle against Shin for obvious reasons.
>>3465470Faltoga will bring the rest to shame.
Aight bro I'm gonna go back to sleep again.I welcome any wetdream about Yanie because as much as it made me depressed on my wakeup, it was also a very pleasant dream, it wasn't even particulary raunchy, just lovey dovey happy slow sex
Maria's purple anus
>>3468883I want to see it again.
>>3464230Okay, lucky for you, eggsylum drew some Alma buttjob art todayhttps://twitter.com/bakemoron_/status/1784541545787723890https://files.catbox.moe/4ucjgc.jpg
>>3469000Thanks that makes my weekend better. I bombed the test though so did everyone else since half of it was unlisted subjectsAlso is this the second or third time eggsylum coincidentally does fanart of the exact stuff talked here? I’m not complaining I really wanted that Alma hotdogging
>>3468996He looks so funny here for some reason. I almost feel bad for him If he wasn't such an asshole
>>3468883Her weakpoint.
>>3469208The egg is just a funny little dude, he's still one of the best villains in the series
>>3469499That's mostly because the villains in the series kinda suck. The egg had comedy value of just randomly pulling out a gun atleast.
>>3469681>>3469681I think a part of "the villains suck" narrative has to contend with the high probability that Hakika actually doesn't want to write said characters as villains, making it such that only a handful of them can be said to actually "be" villains.Atline: Proper VillainGhost Path: Not really a villain, just a person taken over by a malicious creature(Can't comment on rest of era of myth)Blight: One Note VillainAwake: Comedy VillainColony: False Villain + Real Villain ( + "The villain is society"? )Asylum: Forced Circumstance VillainL.Depth: Like Colony, there's a lot of ways you could interpret "who" the villain is, with there being multiple correct answers, and honestly I think that's how it should be. The offscreen grandmother actually made me genuinely mad, making her the best choice for villain overall in my opinion.Kludge: L+ratio, neuro-atypical, bottom tier, smelly, disappointing lack of tie in, sham of a villain.Maybe my standards are low, but Kludge is the only instance where I can say I was *thoroughly* disappointed, especially in terms of villain. If you discount the one character, there really isn't a villain, technically.
>>3469975>I think a part of "the villains suck" narrative has to contend with the high probability that Hakika actually doesn't want to write said characters as villainsThat's actually a very interesting way to look at it. But idk. Writing them as the "Im gonna kill everyone cus...... reasons?" still sucks. Specially when you consider the fact that Hakika knows how to write an interesting world filled with great characters to interact with. Even weirder when that's actually one of his strongest traits as a gamedev. Having a proper villain with real motivations would be nice.I mean, if he doesn't want to, why even write said characters as villains in the first place? Why not just make the game about exploring the world and defeating mindless monsters?
>>3469975That’s the problem I had with kludge’s story too. You could argue the villain is Idea, but she’s just an asshole-ish god that did everything for the “greater good” i.e. stopping the calamity with heroes she trained herself. Just from that, I’m actually going to guess that there’s going to be something in the final Sequel game that requires a bunch of heroes from every region in Ordowald. Or at least the main girls from each game.
>>3469975I thought awake's villain is a legit villain, despite his appearance. He's a complete failure of a person who does everything he can to make things better for himself at the cost of everyone else. A total sociopath. I just wish he had been actively meddling with things more, like with the machine that was making the fairies crazy.
>>3470228He's a villain but he's boring to face and I feel nothing when I see him on-screen.
The fat cat knows
>>3470098My only problem with Kludge is that nobody points out how nonsensical everything is. The death rain that isn't used intelligently, the ark that looks like it can't even fly, let alone destroy a world. The robots that barely try killing all humans, when we seem to think that's their goal, or bother defending their bases. The selection process for the ark being a test involving small unit tactics rather than rebuilding anything, and the mere fact that the ark itself doesn't make logical sense whether whatever enemy that necessitated its launch was within or without. You don't even have to have more than one person there to launch it. The only explanation I can think of is that Idea is a bad writer or just didn't care to make the set pieces for her hero training bootcamp believable. I honestly don't think the Ark would do anything if you actually did press that button at the end, it was just a test and you weren't supposed to press it.
>>3470361Imagine the plap sounds
>>3470371Yeah, I feel the same way. And I think a lot of it can just be chalked up to Vastas being a huge training grounds for the hero, as you say. It’s kind of funny to realize that there was no real threat in the entire game, it was all according to keikaku.
Honestly villains have always felt like a weak point in the Sequel games, they just don't make you truly hate them and wish to inflict as much pain and suffering upon them that they deserve, you know like that bitch Leaf.
>>3470442Yeah. Innocent Rules actually had one of the better villains in the series, I feel. Kaamos gets a shitload of screentime, has motivations behind her actions, and her motivations are actually relatable too. Given the shitty situation she got roped into.
>>3470453b-b-BIG
>>3470431 I find it extra funny the party ends the fight thinking they've successfully convinced Idea to stop, when the real truth is there probably isn't enough time to run through more hero candidates because the next Calamity is due soon and waiting around a meadow.
>>3470371This and so much more is why I couldn't enjoy Kludge.Nothing felt real. Nothing felt thematically connected. And ultimately, there felt like there were no stakes.I think at least that portion of how I feel about Kludge is fairly objective. Subjectively, I think Kludge failed in the scenes, too- but this largely has to do with how I didn't find the majority of the cast appealing.In general, the side-cast was much more interesting to me than the main cast.Dita was badly handled, and I think is sort of the epitome of Hakika's "Don't want to write X as a bad character" syndrome. I feel like her whole character would have greatly benefited from being in a position where she could actually take charge like the protagonist she's supposed to be, instead of the awkward story half measure we got. Any number of things could have and would have been better.Kuu is fine, and I can understand the overall theming hakika went for. Not in any means bad, just not my preference.Lusica is also fine, but feels a little bit over the top. I think I was a little disappointed that her role as a mechanic didn't actually mean much- and this kind of bleeds over into my disappointment with how robots were handled in Kludge. It's the land of machines. Why don't the machines matter? Why aren't the robots cool? Yeah I get Ordowald's decaying, but still.Yubeil? 10/10, can think of no criticism at this time, other than maybe "We should have gotten her in Colony instead"- but unfortunately, the story demands that that wouldn't have made sense. The alternative to that is "Should have been in a better game."Yolnaya... who? I neither used her in-game nor was I interested by her scenes for some reason. Her character traits also end up not mattering to the story.Faria, despite being an interesting character with a cool tie into the Era of Myth, completely lost my interest when I got to her scenes. Heavily disappointed, anti-preference.
>>3470747Before getting into the game, I thought I would like Lusica the most, but I actually ended up liking Yubeil and Yolnaya the most. Vyner and Reda were great too. Dita’s alright, her purple ass is good just like Maria’s, but she leaves a lot to be desired. Lusica and Faria were the biggest disappointments of the cast if you ask me, they’re just compete weirdos.Kludge’s cast had a problem with not bringing back any returning characters, so the cast seems weak on its own when compared to awake and colony’s all-star cast. There was a big lack of an audience surrogate character like Rabi in colony too, which hampered the story. Imagine if instead of Faria, we got Auris in the party at the halfway point. It would’ve been a million times better. You can just imagine it yourself.And with this line of thinking, I can guarantee thirst’s cast will be much better just because they have both Nazuna and Uula to bounce off of.
>>3470763The fact that the supporting cast was cooler than the main cast makes me sad, because that means that we didn't get the parallel timeline where they were the main party instead.Now I'm imagining some endgame section where there's like, a whole boss rush section of defeating/knocking sense back into your team. ex; Reda -> Yubeil (again) -> Dita -> VynerNot sure how you'd balance that, though, if you're knocked back down to like one or two party members for that.On that note, the community voted side characters are *also* a massive loss. How many of them do you think would have made cool team members? (If not all, almost all.)As it is, they're just weird OC cameos.
One thing I think I've probably gotten wrong about translating Ghost Path so far is the Inns- if you try to stay the night when you don't have enough gold, you'll get a message to the effect of "It looks like you don't have enough money..."I think originally I thought that it was the innkeepers who were saying this, rather than being just a system message (ex; "Got Item")- I'm not entirely sure, but so far I haven't seen a unique "Broke" message so far, I think. Definitely something I should look into again once I get to wrapping things up.Remaining Maps:Farlands, Lanto (Village, current)Tear in Time (Dungeon + Dragon)Cave to Tower (Story Progression Roadblock)Charis's Tower (Final Story Dungeon) + CreditsAncient Stormway (Dungeon + Dragon)Powdersnow Village, LittlesnowPlateau Village, Sannya Hidden Village, Olhide Silent Forest, Stewald (Village)Dragon's BirthplaceGhost Town Aria Night Hollow (Cursed Village)Cat Island + Cave to Cat Island (Village/Dungeons)Hidden Mountain Path (Cursed Grave)Twilight Village, RelicaUnmapped Town, Nimia Abyss of Alim (The dreaded Postgame Super-Dungeon that probably doesn't actually have that much more to translate, but is still nonetheless daunting because the maps are like two to four times the size of normal dungeons.)Cave of Nimia (Planetaria Patch Dungeon 1)Temple of Floods (Planetaria Patch Dungeon 2)

>>3470361Glad to see the egg is making more Alma art after a while. I want to see him make more art for other big girls like Caamia and Kaamos too.
