Game said that half a year has passed since Seed became a Toushin, but it felt like one or two weeks max. So in-game time and plot time are not congruent.

That's it for Lvl31.

Man, the story with the girl and the stones was rough. The weird thing is, I distinctly remember being 9 when it first occured to me that suicide is a thing that people can do out of desperation, which might sound obvious, but it is somewhat of a novel idea when 4 years before you probably didn't even understand the idea of death, much less more abstract concepts like despair and meaninglessness. I even remember where I was, what was happening and what the weather outside was when it happened.

It is to this day the closest thing I experienced to what one could call an epiphany.

in fiction it usually is legitimately the girl's personality. at most she has a sad backstory
>>
I feel like TT1's tournament arc was more satisfying than TT2's. Both were all about gimmicks but in TT1 the gimmicks were usually there to put you on even ground with the other guy, not to beat them outright. Plus there were far less circumstancial wins.

Dogi
You beat him.
wizard man
You get magic to be able to fight him, but the fight is more or less honest.
Arthur
You beat him with the spell that breaks his focus. It's not your fault that he kept trying to use the same technique.
weredragon archer
You beat him for real, he does hit you and you can lose if you are underleveled.
Yayoi
Not a real fight, admittedly.
Poe
Not a real fight, but there is still a legit struggle.

4.5 real fights out of 6.

Now in TT2,

Keijin
You beat him for real.
Milio
You beat him for real.
Pluma
Not a real fight.
Gaji
Not a real fight.
Xavier
There isn't even a fight.
Billnas
Serena gives you the technique you need to beat him and also tells you how to beat him.

2 real fights out of 6.
>>
Like even Seed acknowledges this when he says that he doesn't feel like he actually earned his wins before the fight with Billnas.
>>
Though if I wanted to be mean I could dock one more "real fight" from TT2 because Milio is like ten years old even if he is the Hero.

You know shit's serious when the love interest dons the box art armor.

The theme that the angels get sounds like bonus stage music in a platformer. I like it.
>>
I haven't eaten a single angel so far besides the one you couldn't avoid eating when you became a toushin, anyway. Whenever I was tempted to do so, I thought about Craia being disappointed in Seed and immediately reconsidered.

I thought I wanted to be an asshole, but the potential benefits don't feel like they would outweigh the unavoidable psychic damage of being deliberately malicious against people who did nothing to deserve it.

...I wasn't fishing for a compliment, really, neither do I think of myself as a particularly virtuous person, it's just that, I guess, the moral choices of this game are not exactly like the situations you encounter in the Rance games, where Rance being an asshole is a lot of fun because 8 times out of 10 it happens against people just as, if not far worse than Rance, and 1 of those 2 exceptions is almost always played off as not that serious. Like bullying Kanami is fun because of her being a master kidnapper, and Lia getting fucked until her mind is obliterated is also enjoyable because of her sadistic past. I didn't like Sill getting bullied at first but you kinda get over that once you see how much he cares for her in serious situations. But none of that grey morality applies to TT2. Do I fuck the partner of this opponent who was brainwashed into being a participant? Do I eat angels who were virtuous kalars in life? Do I goosh goosh Gaji's waifu? It's completely black and white.

Anyway, it feels like the game is nearing its climax (no pun intended). I just had an audience with the Oni King. Those jailer onis you fight before you free Dellas were pretty fucking tough.
>>
>>575559026
The grey hair is also essential, I'd say. Young Big Boss is just Snake with an eyepatch.

Of course Apros's motivations ultimately resolve to "I had a woman moment".

Truly a missed chance that you don't get to eat her despite the potential triple irony. If there was anyone who deserved to get her asshole reamed and turned into alchemy dust, it was her.

Kurzweil mysteriously managed to subvert the curse of "blonde hair and red eyes equals evil" trope. Even his sprite made him look kinda shady. Poor guy.

I quit in the middle of the fight with Dellas...what an awful fight. It's definitely doable if I bring along the correct gear, but it always turns out like ass when you're not fighting the boss as much as you're fighting for a chance to fight the boss. It also makes him look like a bitch. Am I fighting him or am I fighting three fairies and some guy with white hair in the back row? Plus it's always nice when the stats are not the actual stats. If I'm consistently missing two thirds of my hits, that's not 66 percent chance to hit, that's 66 minus god knows what percentage in accordance with their evasion stat.
>>
Also I tried whether Magic Ban would shut down the healing fairy, but...no, she can use healing and revival even if you ban magic.
>>
It probably doesn't help that the theme of the fight sounds a bit "royalty free JRPG boss fight music track 23".

I'll finish things tomorrow.

That's it for TT2.

Pretty fucking ambitious game. I'll have to let the experience sit a while to really settle for a final opinion, but I definitely had a lot of fun despite a few things.

I certainly can see myself thinking very highly of it if I had played it on release (that is, when it was translated a little over a decade ago). Even so, it remains very impressive for what was effectively a deluxe garage project.
>>
>>575658465
I consider it the first truly good Alicesoft game as opposed to just being fun because Rance like III
>>
>>575658649
I didn't play the original versions of the first three games, but even when I compare it to 03, it feels more cohesive as a whole than 03 does. In retrospect the issue of 03's plot is that it never changes from the initial premise of "repel Helman and do something about the Fiends". While this game feels more dynamic. It also had an overarching theme to its narrative, unlike the Rance games.

I feel like Hazuki and Serena were also better written than most female Rance characters because they were more proactive, independent and on equal ground with Seed than most women not named Shizuka in the Rance plot so far.

Seed himself though is definitely the weakest point. I never felt like he had a center. His moments of being pathetic are a bit too cringy and his edgy moments are a bit too out there. He was simultaneously too cold, too hot, and too lukewarm, as paradoxic as that may sound

I also thought it to be rather awkward how Billnas just peaces out of the plot after the Toushin Tournament arc.
>>
>>575661717
Cute
>>
A question for the lore experts. Are oni and devils two departments of the same "hell" faction?
>>
It also became noticeable after a while that almost all women in the game have the same body type. It's a very nice one, but ideally, an eroge should offer some variety. Sporty, thick, smaller titties, big ones, etc.
>>
>>575662926
No, in toushin toshi oni seems to be rulers of the divine faction while in Rance they are lowest ranked servants of gods that do the dirt work angels don't want to do, devils are actually enemies of gods and they don't live in hell but in their own dimension that seems to be connected to hell.
>>
>>575605517
I (TT2 anon) started posting here last year.
>>
>>575658649
>the first truly good Alicesoft game
This seems to be the standard TT2 opinion.
>>
>>575664180
I see. My reading of the TT2 situation was sort of that there's just one big "afterlife" faction to which angels, devils and oni all belong to, but who nevertheless don't necessarily all get along, like obviously you see that the angels and the oni are allies, but devils probably are not on good terms with the angels. Kinda like the Japanese military and navy having a rivalry during WW2 despite both serving the emperor.
>>
>>575664602
Devils serve Rathowm who is against the whale

>>575661570
In all fairness 03 is limited to III which js limited to being part of one cohesive story whereas TT2 is complete in its own
>>
>>575662084
I agree on the girls.
God I wish we got the alt version where Shizuka was the main companion
>>
>>575664602
Since toushin toshi 2 lore is never elaborated on we don't even know if there's anyone stronger than the oni king in tt2 world, oni king's counterpart in the Rance lore is a powerful god relatively close to the top of the hiearchy
>>
>>575665985
TT2 setting same as Rance
>>
>>575666569
No, there's no oni king in Rance's world and Toushin City clearly has different history.
>>
>>575665947
Just have Shizuka end up captured as slave when Rance goes to buy one. Their dynamics would end up being different from Rance & Sill since I can't see Shizuka taking Rance's abuse without fighting back like Sill could. Real question would be whether Rance would be able to charm her into remaining with him once the obedience magic wears off like he did with Sill
