>>59515278this canonically happened btw
>>59515278Jan don't look...
>>59515387he already saw it and ruined everything out of spite
First for Erin
>>59515496The erinfags have gone insane
it's over
>>59515496
>>59515278Jan implement my hyper weapon for the next update.
Jasmine is dead
Couple rejuv questionsHow far into the game do you have to decide whether to go for renegade route or not? Is it the kinda thing you have to work toward the whole way through if you want to do it or is there like a big choice moment?Secondly is the two routes different enough to warrant a full additional playthrough to experience both?
>>59515679The only way to "decide" is by using the act 2 password which gives you an option for a fuckton of Renegade points. Otherwise you have to work for it the whole game. Renegade is a completely different storyline from Paragon after chapter 15 but I wouldn't call it worth playing unless you really care about the clusterfuck of a story.
>>59515679Just say mean things to the characters when there are dialogue options, it's very funny to see them pissed off
>>59515694>Can’t Erin just go? (Erin -3, Melia -3)
>>59515679its ultimately meaningless because the latest shitheap of a chapter establishes that the oh-so-edgy renegade MC is a Melia pussyslave just as much as the paragon MC
>>59515704Someone needs to make a mod where Melia is completely revamped and isnt some Mary Sue goddesd
>>59515704Why even have separate routes at that pointfor ANY purpose other than money laundering
>>59515708i wouldn't say "completely revamped" as much as i would "just have her characterization continue on from chapter 1 instead of being entirely replaced once she returns from time travel wageslave hell"because back during chapter 1 she's actually interestingwith hobbies and motivations and ambitions and actually reasonable flaws, not "needlessly becoming depressed over shit she can fix" and "suspiciously only jobbing when fighting alongside the player" and "being gay"
>>59515496Erin is basically "Kanon with a vagina", if she was a dude nobody would give a shit about her, she doesn't even appear during act 1 except for a few seconds at the beginning and it's optional
>>59515717there's the argument of erin being significantly more plot relevant but when you're comparing something to a bar so low you'd have to search around to see if it existsthat's not a good standard>muh screentimeok but that'll only matter for characters with reasons to care about them, and/or plot relevanceis there genuinely anything that'd have to be changed if erin was removed (and specifically would require actually being changed instead of just having a different character do whatever erin would've done, if said thing was plot necessary in the first place)besides the gameplay and story disaster that was chapter 16
>>59515740>is there genuinely anything that'd have to be changed if erin was removedyes, I'd lose my interest in the game
I preferred old West Gearen desu. The place is missing a few houses, I guess people are living in the factories.
>>59515792wtf you're an actual grunt now the larp is beautiful.
>>59515717>Erin is basically "Kanon with a vagina"That's a bit of a stretch but i can't negate that yes Erin is not as plot relevant as she might seem but that's something a lot of characters suffer that aren't Melia/Venam
>>59515265Oh no no no Grimdarksissies...
Give dragon dance
>>59515744I almost dropped the game when I thought Erin died at the end of chapter 13.
>>59515803She isn't Melia/Venam but I'd argue that she's more plot relevant than Amber though. She is in the same tier as Aelita and maybe Ren.
>>59515829>erin>same tier as aelitahistorical revisionism much?
>>59515829Aelita is actually irrelevant
>>59515853forgot name
aelita and Erin are almost equal non-entities in chapter 16. cut them out and nothing changes.
>>59515857erin being irrelevant is nothing out of the ordinaryaelita's effective absence, despite being one of the most important characters in the main party, has to be due to jan's spitethere's no other explanation for it

>>59515867Can I have a screenshot, I'm curious
>>59515863ANOTHER 3 YEARS OF REDOING THE ENTIRE GAME (EXCEPT THE PARTS THAT SUCK) AND ADDING FUCK ALL TO THE ACTUAL STORY>>59515878didn't screenshot it, unfortunatelyif you wanna scroll through 3 years of bullshit on his tumblr to find something that he probably deleted, be my guest
>>59515862It makes sense why he loves Melia so much, niggers are obsessed with blonde women.
playing a nigguhs' game is equivalent to taking bbc
>>59515885It’s funny because he’s gay himself. He’s definitely coping that he wasn't born a white woman.
>>59515896to be fair you don't get torchic until there's almost nothing left to use it on unless you picked it as the starterand unlike reborn you will very likely be fucked if you don't take every obvious best mon choice in a "pick one of X mons" decision you get
>>59515903if only the fucking JIDF didn't corrupt the estrojan screenshot
I'm sure female indeedee was the actually useful one but eh the only difference is trading some damage/speed for bulk and access to Baton Pass, this should be good enough
>been very attentive and stingy about exploring and checking shit as I play through rejuv and doing side quests>clear out one of the help desk things of all quests before moving on to the next region>100% sure there were no new quests>finally get access to go back there>there's a new quest>"too late this quest is expire lol"bro wtf I didn't even have a chnace>look it up, it gives a potentially very useful item I'm now bricked onAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

That should be enough gems to feed smogonbird (i bought 50)
Fixing some fucked up indeedee. This tournament thing feels kinda filler but eh whatever it's relatively short lived
Gotta love the meme FEAR team and that Eevee baton pass team too
>first fight in the bracket is against a fisherman named MordecaiUh...
>>59516466Oy vey !
>>59516466oh my fauci is that an incredibly obvious reference to Popular Thing????????
Not much to say, not difficult at all
>>59516468It's Rejuvenation, there are a lot of kikes in Aevium and Mordecai is a jewish name
>>59516469piss field
>oh errr i can't tell you about the field Adam uses cuz it's random!>it's not random>it's inverse fieldLike i knew that already but damn i hate when the game lies to me about random terrains. Either way it's not terribly difficult, Tyranitar is easy to deal with, Gigalith's explosion can be baited and Mega Aerodactyl gets cheesed by Crested Zoroark larping as Crustle and then clean up with Smogonbird/remaining team members
>Somehow some random girl is giving Team Xen a run for it's money in terms of being an actual threat to society.Grim
now we work with Team Xen, at least Neved is not here
>>59516494Love her <3
And another fight against Texen, and Cherrim crest, thanks Aelita...
>>59516513did her team lower in level or was she just not allowed to level grind between ch11 and ch12
>>59516564Aelita is just bad.
>>59516564Probably the later, Texen's team was like lv70. If anything Aelita is overleveled for this fight
>>59516593given that this is a flashback of a fight that was already won by the time it was told to you (and against someone who was never good in the first place) it'd make more sense for her to be even more overleveled for it
>>59515862What's wrong with him ?
>Checks old Rejuv popularity poll>25 people voted for Huey
>>59516637I don't even remember about Piano Lady except at the beginning. How is she popular ? Is it another reddit meme I'm not aware of ?
>>59516642literal glup shitto that only as a name and art because some nophono asked on tumblr
i think aelita should get a salazzle because le heckin ancient writefaggotry referencealso because it's fast and purple
>>59516630black and gay
>>59516637>Amber not even in the top 10Amberfags on suicide watch
>>59516487when in doubt you can always rely on unpredictable fields ending up as the most annoying one for your team when fighting whoever the hell it is you're up against
>>59516723skill issue, I got underwater field which damages aron/donphan every turn when fighting the FEAR guy because I'm good
>>59516637This poll was done before V13 came out by the way, I'm sure Nastasia and Amber are probably at better place now.
>>59516739Who was the top 3?
>>59516759Melia, M2 and Emma
>>59516637>Actual characters with less votes than joke options like Geara's left shoeCast isn't bloated btw.
>>59516759Aelita won by a landslide.Melia in second place.Erin in third place.
>>59516779i want aelita to breastfeed me
>>59516779Gee I wonder why Aelita has barely any interaction in the recent versions, surely Jan didn't get pissed off by the results
>>59516779Lmao 9 girls and 1 guy Jan really is a victim of the gynocracy
>>59516797rejuv's cast is incredibly lopsided towards females as far as the male/female ratio goesand that's before you narrow it down to main story relevant characters
>>59516818Even the gays are subconsciously longhoused damn
>>59516787Trip on musk
>>59516846ok
This is like the 4th time i have dealt with this thing
>Vitus>father of 4I think you missed like two dozen more children
Was that Angie painting always there? Cool detail.
>Crescunt try NOT to make everything worse for everyone challenge
A Skarmory and another Data Drive (currenlty have 3) nice.
Ren somehow spends like 5 hours fixing his TTS
And Melia has yet another Persona 4 moment sorta
I jobbed yet again. In my defense Madelis missed a Heat Wave against both targets somehow and that doomed the whole fight.
>>59517055That was Clear LARPing as Crescent since they beat her immediately after Valor mountain, right?
And this fucking thing... it legitimately refuses to die. Doesn't help that each shield sets spikes/rocks and after a set amount of turns you get burned and/or debuffed just because, on top of enhanced perma sandstorm... Breloom can sorta lock it into sleep but dealing damage becomes more and more difficult the longer the fight goes on.Need to take a break, this thing relly takes like 20 minutes per attempt and i already lost 3 times
>>59517080I don't remember exactly, there's that flashback where Crescent gaslights Nim into thinking she has no friends (and somehow works) after the whole valor mountain thing. After that Crescent is basically MIA, even said by Lorna before the fight
>>59517088yeah that was Clear
>>59517095Yeah I'm a bit fuzzy on late game plot details (still OG Crescent would 100% do that shit)
Neved did nothing wrong.
>>59517082you should invest in some volatile status conditions for chip damage since most rift 'mons can't switch outstuff like leech seed, curse, wrap, and whatever else makes tanks pretty trivialdestiny bond is also great for bosses that get a super boost when they're at their last hp bar
>>59517223Yeaahhh, i have Salazzle for Toxic but that's not used most of the time, i was thinking going the Destiny Bond Sharpedo route again like i did in Reborn too
forgot about Shayda, guess it's time for a buffed fight>>59517237toxic isn't a good idea for bosses since it resets every time one of their hp bars drop. I'd even go for burn/poison before toxic since it takes a bit to ramp up and you wanna get rid of them quickly. curse is the best one by far though, it deals a lot of damage
>>59517167Sorry forgot name
thought it was gonna be harder, but I guess tricking an iron ball into it made this way easier than it was supposed to be
oh cool this is new
>>59517252Yeah, i ended up using Endeavor and a few revives with Salazzle for the last few shields, rocks + spikes leave Salazzle barely alive for Ren to break a shield
>>59517318always forget endeavor works on them, good job
That was easy.>>59515795I need my Mega Houndoom and it will be perfect.
Oy vey, you lost. Another easy win for me.
This woman is batshit insane.
Yes.
time to get my ass beat probably
>>59517468well her bloodline does like it rough
>>59517468>zygarde with 2 hp bars>priority moves get debuffedguess I'll try again later, dealing with bullshit is annoying
That was a good fight indeed, really love tailwind here.
>>59517494I regret starting this quest.
>>59517429>>59517455Lmao how did you change your character sprite ?
>>59517505Just replaced the MC sprites in Graphics->Characters with mine.
>>59517502honestly, I'm probably just being a crybaby. did 2 tries and then fucked offI'm gonna do the missing children and rift pokémon sidequests since I have access to them now. heard the loaded dice can be found in the underground so it might help
shame you don't get anything our of this if you already had the omniring, but the quest marker was annoying me
I love rngfuck this fight.
fuck you Vivian and your stupid lucky dog that flinched me every time in the first turn
Shayda's special cutscene for anyone curious
Meanwhile on the Rejuvenation subreddit
>>59517941well geara is canonically a redditor so
>>59517941>I wish the 2nd most evil character in the whole game was transWhat did xe mean by this?
extremely cute shiny
Rejuvenation? More like ReJEWenation.
>>59517390How many characters say oy vey in this game ?
>>59517941God I fucking hate thise ugly avatars
The story of Rejuvenation touched me in several ways.
>>59518480Where did it touch you?
>>59518498The frontal lobe.
>>59518498Jan lobotomized me
>>59518498When I met Erin in the Darchlight Caves
>>59518191Because Aevium has a huge Jewish population, the Blakeory and Theoria are both big Jewish family.Also, Jan is from New York, he probably interacted with a lot of jews here
>>59518543She won’t fuck you
>>59517941Epic!Take my upvote!
>>59518358IT'S CALLED SNOO YOU RACIST CHUD!
>>59517455mismatched sprites
It's over
>>59518549I wish I was Kanon solely to be close to Erin even if it's not romantic
>>59518961So even in your escapist fantasies you’re a simpSad
>>59518961She secretly loves Kanon actually
>>59518972Shhh don't tell the truth
>>59518972Nu uh. When Kanon dies, she’s sad for two entire minutes.
>>59518498The game is actually pretty good, sure it has some flaws like the difficulty at the end, but overall it's a solid and nice experience.
>>59518549Aelita won't fuck you too faggot.
>>59518588no arrow so you look like this and say this
>>59519030Melia won't fuck you either estrojan

All my pokémons are EV trained, I'm ready for chapter 10.>>59518618Yeah it's normal in that area.>>59517548You got the Omni Ring before chapter 12 ? Did you use a password ?
>>59519129if evens debug dragon dance onto both arcaninesif odds do it with quiver dance instead
erin deserves to be raped and impregnated by the interceptor for what she's done
IT'S OVERTHEY KILLED MOSELYREJUVENATION IS OVER
>>59519122champinggen 9 ou
>>59519145What did she even do?
>>59519242play chapter 16 and you'll understand what fuckups she made that'll need to be repaid by being turned into a baby factory
>>59519176hydrapple
>>59519247>playShan't. There is NO limit to the LARP.
>>59519291ok larper
>>59519247Don't worry, she will probably get killed in the future chapter. There's a reason why her black box is present in the NG+ room, and every other black boxes are from deceased characters. So, Erin will likely get killed in Paragon, and likely get erased in Renegade too.
>>59519330>this is what they have to do to make kanon relevant
>>59519330>Revenge is a dish best served with loveThis is the kind of shit I expect to read in a NTR story where the main girl wants to get vengeance on her lover.
>>59519330Geara isn't dead either. But there's no way this guy is going to stay alive, especially in Renegade.I'm really curious about how Erin will die though.
>>59519401inb4 it's her also having her younger? sister's habit of finding ways to make things worse for everyone around her
>>59519129>Did you use a password ?yeah, I played through the game enough times to get annoyed at the amount of mega stones/Z moves you get and can't use until like mid to late game. I usually use a bunch of passwords like the shiny charm, remote pc (I don't use it but it gives me an excuse to use the pc through debug), 31IVs for me and the enemy, and stuff like golden items, mint packs, and the EV cards because I got all the stuff from the AP shop in my main runI'll take a pic of all my passwords later
>>59519432last one is >hello eizen.but that one is more of a joke password
>>59515496https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X8z23t428kU
>>59519534>m.youtube.comerinfags are itoddlers... kek!!!!!
>>59516779Surprised Venam is that high, but then I check Reddit and they all seem to love her for whatever reason, I guess being lesbian and insufferable will get you loved by redditors.>>59519534I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about this everytime I hear Erin
>>59519540Trannies love her
after dealing with the bad timeline, Shayda makes you fight a regirock with an assist that soaks up damageI think giving you Melia was overkill, this fight wasn't really hard, but maybe it's way harder if you don't have supper effective attacks to one shot the other guy
>>59519536It's 2026 grandpa
I was expecting to get stuck at Souta for hours, but after checking the sky field the answer was obvious, decidueye with nature power and life orb, paired with tailwind from the whimsicott I got from the mystery egg forever ago, and obviously taunting Souta so he can't use tailwindgot pretty lucky with Souta sending his dragonite as his second 'mon so I could break its multiscale before sweeping with decidueyeI think you could still use this strat without life orb if you make it adamant and give it a sky plate
finally out of that damned citydid all the sidequests I could before leaving, now gotta do this whole chapter before I can backtrack and get a bunch of mega stones and other goodies
Haven't played the most recent PALF update yet, but I figure I'll wait and see if they'll actually add a romance with Tia or not.
no idea who the fuck this girl iskinda looks like Alice
what even is the point of adding a new choice when it does nothing?

>>59520296redditors and 'cordies
>>59520296Do you think the average Rejuv fan has good taste?
>>59520296It's Herovoltsy's favorite character too.

>>59520344It's going to be even worse this year.>>59520296They think Saki is quirky and funny, just like they love Venam because she's apparently a strong lesbian woman, you can check the Rejuvenation subreddit to have an idea what these "people" think.
>>59520205Uuuuhm Chud it was obviously foreshadowed there are two madame x‘s, it’s your fault for missing it
>>59519999Looks cool but viability drops like a rock in the endgame.
>>59520358That's not CHUD, that's grassfag
>>59520388Everyone’s a Chud on here
Haven't played yesterday, kinda lost motivation with the game, I will try to continue today.>>59519540Yeah, I hate Venam too. She’s my least favorite character in the main cast, for the reasons people have already mentioned here, and she also has some weird double standards which I despise a lot, I can’t stand the way she talks to the male characters, she treats them like cattle, while she’s much more respectful toward women, typical misandrist whore. >>59519525Does noitems mean you can't use healing potions during battles ? I'm not using any password right now. But if I have to deal with more Shayda's bullshit, I might use debug mode and unleash the Behemoth.
>>59520407>she treats them like cattleMen are mean to be ridiculed in Rejuvenation to be fair, Jan wishes he was born a woman
>>59520407>Does noitems mean you can't use healing potions during battles ?yep! no items whatsoever from either side. hate it when bosses pull out full restores out of nowhere, and using items myself against the ai feels too cheesy imo. I might be masochistic
>>59520416Don’t worry, I have a similar rule. I never use revives, and I only use potions if I have to deal with bullshit (boss battles in particular).
>>59520407Jan is a proud gynocrat son like why do you think the cast is 90% women and 10% jobbers, it's hilarious.
>>59520360deep earth/deux finalis a shit
now that i know what he looks like it's hard to not read the dialogue in a gay black guy voice

Oh no, Kelvin forgot Kanon existed.
Rejuv did not need 2 super long intros......
>>59520732It's to remind you that you are not the main character, Melia is.
>>59520733Oh I already knew that Jan doesn't have to remind me.
>>59520349Rejuvenation fans are pretty gay (Jan himself is gay), and every fag is voting for Venam. Ans I guess Saki just appeals to redditors and discord teenagers.>>59516671Amber was a pretty boring and insufferable character before V13, she got rewritten and got a lot more screen time. She will definitely be in the top 10 now.
I never cared about tomboys like Aelita or Amber.I only like feminine women.
>>59521035Erin is very feminine
>>59521043Consequently, I like her. But only sexually. As a human, she sucks.
>>59521045Sex can fix her
>999 black prism contract checks if you cheat>if you actually do it you don't even get Necrozma until GDCActually kys. At least it's easy to circumvent.

I agree Florin, what the hell is this ?
I meant Flora*
>>59521104Go to blackprismhandlers, find if totalprisms > sum and change > to <
My character is so hideous, holy shit.
>>59521110OMG A DELTARUNE REFERENCE IN POKEMON REJUVENATION
Guess I will go with Flora this time.>>59521111Never played Deltarune and I'm honestly not interested, but I saw that they gave an original design for every MCs but the white dude.
>>59521153yeah, this is a recent thing that was added in V13.5, Jan just decided to go for the deltatroon route in the last versions
>>59521111nice quads, it's hard to believe people actually, unironically like deltarune
>>59521159Deltarune is to indie games what Rejuvenation is to Pokemon fan games: the biggest thing around, by far. Like it or not, it's the definitive game of its kind.
>>59521159I like it, but I drop the interest around Chapter 2 because I knew Toby was going to milk this shit.You guys think him working on music for TCP was peak? No, bro is part of the internet. His games (Under and Delta) will be the infecious cancer that will survive for generations to come.And even if the finale is shit, he made his money, so he won already, and this shitfest is his victory lap.
Flora is a commie.>>59521155I guess that's why the story loses quality as you go on. God, this design looks just awful and out of touch.
>>59521159Zoomers and troons love this shit
>>59521198Ngl the Join Bladestar option should have been an actual thing instead of the multiverse bullshit, Flora actually had a point.
>>59521185I miss the old internet
>>59521203I'm pretty sure Flora hated the in game equivalent of a bunch corrupt oligarch parasites that have their fingers in everything and want to keep enriching themselves off the backs of ordinary citizens so you're not wrong there.
>>59521203>>59521283Nooo but she le killed people!!!Ignore the fact that she was super against senseless murder before that and she only wanted to kill Cassandra so killing her grunts and innocents is super OOC for her
You know, replaying the game, some of the early parts really make no sense if the MC has already been through it all as is implied in the later chapters.
>>59521378It's because the MC is following The Script. In NG+ after dying in Valor Mountain and seeing the cutscene where your friends die, when it's Melia's turn, time stops and she just dodges it and talks to you a bit, asks you where she is and the MC explains it's after they died in the volcano, she then says she randomly came upon this timeline while she was explorating timelines and dimension hoppingThis will be the answer to all your questions that go "Why didn't the MC do X if they knew what was gonna happen?" it's pretty shit but that's the best we're gonna get
>>59521397Exploring* Sorry I'm tired
>>59521397>>59521398But why do they have surprised reactions like when Keta is revealed to be the hooded man for instance? Or acting depressed when Melia "died"? Is that really required to follow the script? Also is that actually the name? Because lmao in that case.
>>59519330I have a theory about Geara and Erin. I think the reason their black boxes are present is because we thought they were died at a moment (Geara after Valor Mountains, Erin after the GDC meeting), I don't think they will die, well at least not Erin, I couldn't give a shit about Geara.
>>59521403Because that's part of the script, the NG+ MC is pretty much just acting that way because that's what they're required to do. The plan the MC and Melia come up with in Zeight seems to be following Karma's script until it ends and then no one will be forced to unknowingly act a certain way (this is why they have to kill Amber). Being free of the script is why Kaina appears, otherwise she wasn't allowed to directly interfere because those were the rules Karma and her agreed to>spoilerIt doesn't really have a name, it's just Karma's script to make a blooming world
>>59521408I can think of three instances where Erin could have died.The first one is during the GDC meeting with Cassandra and the others.The second is when she confronts Madame X (right after she kills Allen) and Melia stops her.And the third is when Kanon sacrifices himself to save her and Cera.I'm not saying Erin will definitely die, but it's not impossible either.
>>59521414So why even make a big deal about the MC being the one person exempt from reddit karma when he'll be forced to follow it anyways?
>>59521437The Interceptor IS exempt from the script, so Crescent, MC, and that one guy from the Percy sidequest don't need to follow it and can alter it, but the plan the MC and Melia come up with in Zeight seems to be following the script without any changes (in Melia's case) and for the MC is just acting the same way they did on their first runThis could all be rewritten though, I'm just going based on what I think Jan's excuse is gonna be
>>59521464oh wow time to wait 3 years in the hopes that one of the few characters worth playing the game for recovers from an intentionally placed plot sinkhole
>>59521477None care about Amber nigga
>>59521479I'll burn you
>>59521437I think you, the Player, we're summoned by either Arceus or Variya to correct the Rejuvenation System that have gone astray, simple as that. What the endgame for Paragon is currently unknown, but Renegade were ment to pull a Genocide Route of Undertale which leads to the destruction of existence (possibly leading to a tainted Paragon playthrough).
>>59521477If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure the good ending is gonna have all characters brought back to life somehowWouldn't surprise me if the normal good ending is just okay with a couple characters dead, and the actual good ending forces you to do an NG+ run
>>59521485i transheart the complete plot derailment that karma files startedcan't have ANYTHING from the first 15 chapters of the game matter anymore>>59521488what'd surprise me is if this game ever gets finished enough for anything you just said to happen in the first place
>>59521421If Erin dies I'm dropping the game.
The early game rift pokemon are brutal man holy shit. If you forget to grab certain mons it can almost feel like you're soft-locked because you can't even go back for them or use a pc.
>>59521485There is too much plot it's getting too complicated.
>>59521504You talking about Gyarados ?
>>59521507karma files was a mistakethe game was already infamous on this board for a kudzu plot before it
>>59521485The whole Interceptor system was created by Variya, so yeah you and all interceptors are from a different world and were brought to Aevium by Variya in the hopes you deem the world worthy of blooming (Paragon route) or in the case you think it's too tainted, interceptros have the choice to let the world be lost to oblivion (Renegade route). The MC is different though, because they're the last interceptor because of Kaina's and Karma's agreement to one final game. As a sidenote, I'm pretty sure Karma is also cheating through a loophole in the terms because when you fight Kaina every time you reset you can hear Karma laugh The endgame for Paragon is simply making a blooming world, where everyone gets a happy ending but the whole game seems to foreshadow a "one or the many" situation where you, and possibly also Melia, are gonna sacrifice yourselves to save everyonePersonally, I'm pretty sure Renegade is the interceptor Kaina talks about before fighting you in Paragon who she convincing to help her push that world into oblivion, and I really, really don't think it's gonna give you a tainted Paragon ending, mostly because the game hints that both Paragon and Renegade are intertwined, where one helps the other. You can see Renegade MC give the red chain to Paragon and they give them the erase spell. Also, when M2 asks the Renegade MC what they gain out of this they say "I gain nothing, they gain everything" which implies they're pushing the world to oblivion just to farm resources they wouldn't be able to get in Paragon
>>59521508No I was stuck on the Volcanian and before that Madelis, I also had some trouble with the Galvantula (the Gryarados was pretty easy for me actually.) But I was kinda rushing through because I already played the early game a million times. Just pretty insane how you can coast by easily spamming one move and then get completely demolished by a rift encounter.
>>59521507I've just gave you the bare bones plot. Kiana will appear anyways because you freed the world from Karma by fulfilling the win condition anyways. She have already stated that the worlds that Karma created won't last long outside of their control; so unless Melia have a plan to ensure the freed world's continued existence, then it's a fruitless effort on her end.
>>59521512Many of the bloomed worlds never last long once they're freed from Karma's game. Also I do recalled that both Paragon and Renagade will fight each other in the end, meaning that they will have divergent endings (Renagade destroys everything, including the blooming world; Paragon kills Renagade as a sacrifice to create said Blooming world).
>>59521477You will wait 3 years and be happy :)
>>59521526>Many of the bloomed worlds never last long once they're freed from Karma's game.MC and Melia's plan will probably account for that in some way, or their world will be an exception. Either way, Jan might be kinda retarded, but not retarded enough to tell you that the world went to shit after you were done with the game>Also I do recalled that both Paragon and Renagade will fight each other in the endWas this said by Jan in the Discord or something?All I know is that Jan confirmed that the Renegade route won't have a postgame because you push the world to oblivion and that's all, but the Paragon route will have a postgame
Flora did nothing wrong.
>>59520358Madame X reputation is ruined now
>>59521538Well not recalled but heard, there are rumors that the two will fight.Regardless, if Jan is daring enough, he would use the Completion of Renagade to unlock the Post Game final Boss where you fight against the remains of the doomed system using RMC corpse as a medium to enact their revenge. This would give a completion bonus for both routes; otherwise, as far as gameplay were concern, it's a waste of time and Monsters.
If you give money to Jan he will tell you the story
>>59521548Yeah, people who used to like her don't give a shit anymore. The reveal was terrible, and the second Madame X was the nail in the coffin.
There is no hint about Kaina either, play the game till chapter 15 and you wont find any hint that tells you there is a second Madame X. It's an asspull from Jan.
Also I recall that in the pyramid it was said that Madame X had dark hair, and Kaina has white hair, so if its supposed to be her it doesn't make any sense.
>>59521549>if Jan is daring enough, he would use the Completion of Renagade to unlock the Post Game final BossThat would be retarded on his part for two reasons, first is that it takes literal days to complete just one route so if you were doing a blind Paragon route you'd be stuck on the last boss fight and would have start all over doing a Renegade run just to get the climax of the route, and at that point your hype will probably die down almost completely. Second is that most players don't like doing evil runs in general, and even though this general hates most characters, the regular player Rejuvenation is aimed for won't want to be mean to their favorite character just to do the Renegade route, plus, last I checked, doing Renegade forces you to skip sidequests as to not get any Karma points, so a lot of players won't want to miss out on potential rewards just for itIt's a cool idea on paper, but on practice it would be really bad
>>59521549Dude I feel that the game is just way too long for that.
>>59521562>even though this general hates most characters, the regular player Rejuvenation is aimed for won't want to be mean to their favorite character just to do the Renegade routeSome people here dropped the game when Amber got EoNed
>>59521562You're correct but the game also has a good chunk of content locked behind NG+ that you're expected to see and play as it seemingly does explain shit for the story, and Renegade has a whole bunch of info on it not in Paragon. The whole Zed and Lorna shit despite being apparently extremely crucial given it's one of the two major antagonists of the entire game is exclusively explained on Renegade for some godforsaken reason. So yeah it does seem like Jan will want you to play both routes and try to offer incentives to make you do two playthroughs. The game has just become way too big and has been collapsing on itself for a while
>>59521572Yeah otherwise they would have added a password that directly put you in the School of Nightmares since its where you do the choice
>>59521554Even before v14 she was called fraudame X for doing basically nothing evil beyond killing the player's "mom"
>>59521572Your monsters are transfered over to NG+, right? Otherwise, you have to build your team from scratch!
is the real madam x just going to be another version of melia again?
>>59521572ANOTHER 100 HOURS TO THE EXPECTED PLAYTIME!!!!!!!
Also Renegade has you killing Mosely if you did the Lost Camp quest. I don't think a lot of people wanna kill a child that trusted you and considered you a bro
>>59521581Kaina is another version of Melia, in fact.
>>59521571Imagine if this general like most of the secondary characters>>59521572I agree it's stupid to add crucial lore behind NG+. All the Shayda segments should be present in Paragon too, maybe a bit shorter or obscuring some names/events or even all black with just the text present so you have a reason to do NG+Renegade has always been supposed to be played after doing Paragon, so it's not surprising you'll get way more lore there (I agree crucial lore like the Lorna/Zed/Karma shit should have also appeared in Paragon), but you can always just watch a Youtube video showing all the differences, like most people do with evil routes. It's kinda different for it to be optional extra lore and it being necessary to get the final boss of the good routeI could see the game checking if you have a Renegade/Paragon savefile and taking their team and turning it into a superboss/gauntlet for NG+ players though, and I think that would be pretty cool
>>59521580No, they're not. You get some perks for NG+ like an early Shadow Froakie and stuff that the one grassanon has been showing off at least.There are black boxes in the weird area Melia has in her room that you're supposed to use before you fight Kaina. So it does seem like you are actually supposed to play NG+ from the start.>>59521577I think they said something like they would've done that but didn't have the time to implement it properly. It doesn't matter, Jan loves wasting your time with bullshit.
>>59521580Just use debug mode
>>59521585There's Melia's growing on freaking trees nowadays.
>>59521512At the end of v14 Renegade the MC goes full schizo villain no longer interested in any plan but their own
>>59521585I thought she's the first Interceptor.
>>59521588>Imagine if this general like most of the secondary charactersWould require Jan to actually give reasons to care about the secondary characters instead of just focusing on melia + whoever's directly connected to her + whatever glup shittos of the chapter there are at the time, with everyone else being an afterthoughtYou're only getting meaningful side character screentime in act 1Contrast that with Reborn where its cast is reasonably sized enough to meaningfully give everyone reasonably equivalent screentime and room for character development
>>59521596I really have to finish my Renegade run, I got filtered by the Allen fight and never went back
>>59521601Some characters are better as secondary, imagine if Odessa was part of the main cast, she wouldn't last long and it wouldn't make any sense either.
>>59521607I'm not saying that everyone should be part of the main castThe issue is that most characters not directly related to Melia (besides Aelita) are relegated to sidequests or a single chapter (or maybe a few if they're related to the player) before they just completely disappear/stand in a room doing nothing until the event flags to start their next appearance are in place
>>59521601I don't think Reborn is a good example, I only remember the fag and the girl that's supposed to be your rival but then disappears and you barely ever see her againThere's also Anna and Noel I guess but Anna is kinda like Melia, and Noel just exists because Anna exists (like Venam/Ren)
>>59521588It's true that as a player you can do that, but the game seems specifically designed to at least try to get people to do Renegade and thus a second playthrough. Hell they outwardly advertise the thing, it's not even hidden or anything. So I just wouldn't be surprised if there were mechanics and plot segments that did specifically lock out players not doing multiple playthroughs, is all. Unless Jan actually does intend for you to not play his game and go watch it on YouTube, which, yeah, honestly might just be the best choice if it's going to just spam cinematics at you over gameplay
>>59521615At least Reborn has more likeable male characters.
>>59521614>they just completely disappear/The Valerie and Adam special... Saki doesn't count because she gets way more screentime than those two and can even reawaken as a Registeel at some point despite being in Clear's rape chamber
>>59521615Just look to desolation if you want a competently written reborn esque game with a condensed cast, it's rarely mentioned here despite being high quality enough it makes both reborn and rejuv look like trash in comparison.
>>59521616>Hell they outwardly advertise the thing, it's not even hidden or anything....if you're not playing it blind.Good luck figuring out that it exists (as a playable route and not some background thing or cryptic cutscene thing #8248) without datamining the game in RPG maker or looking up a-Wait who am I kidding this game is designed to be a pain in the ass without a walkthrough anyways
>>59521629The main dev abandoned the game sadly
>>59521629It's probably rarely mentioned here because it got dropped like 5 times and the updates come super slowly. I think I heard the main dev quit recently and left the project to the rest of the teamStill, I agree it is the best one out of the trio, the problem is that it's kinda but not really a dead project depending on when you check
>>59521633There's nothing in the game itself, true, but the very download page for the game currently talks about Paragon and Renegade in no uncertain terms. Though, without a guide, yes, figuring out how to get onto Renegade would be utterly retarded given barely anything in the game tangibly changes by being a cunt for 90% of it.I think also part of the problem is that Rejuv's community is so tightly knit that the game is basically made exclusively for them, if that makes sense. It's not really made to appeal to people who haven't been playing this shit for a long while and know it front to back even though it does pretend to be accommodating.
Use my picture of Mosely getting erased by the Renegade MC for the new thread
>>59521645money laundering is gay and lame
>>59521642the routeshit wasn't mentioned on the download page during v13.5and the paragon/renegade names on their own don't tell you anything useful unless you already know what they mean
>>59521629I recently played a bit of it, I imagine the snow area filters 90% of people playing it with how boring it is.
>>59521649What do you mean
>>59521656if you haven't read the last 50 posts the entire renegade route exists to pad out development time for patreon neetbuxno other possible explanation for why it's so poorly implemented despite being the developer's favorite route
>it's over
i think we should wait until someone actually playing something returns before we get the next thread
It's dead
>>59521615Wasn't it based off of an Annual Showdown LP session that were held every fucking summer and ran by a Troon of all people?
>>59521751I think the main dev of Reborn is a troon himself
>>59521741We don't have many players, CHUD is done with the game, Musk went out to buy milk, The Weak One was cursed and hasn't posted in 2 days, we only have grassfag and Team Magma Grunt playing and posting anything
>>59521755The Man dev is the GM of this entire RP board this game's based off of; of course it's a fucking Troop spreading sterilization propaganda.
>>59521764
>>59521756And the grunt said he was losing motivation with the gameand we don't have new tripfags either, just a few anons playing on their own without posting anythingit's over
it's over erryday
>>59521642I really don't think Renegade would even exist in the first place if anyone that wasn't a yes man was in place to make that kind of decision
>>59521571Single points of failure are a good thing, chud
>>59522222Quints. This is a sign it might not be over after all.
>>59521597She's blonde and one of her aces is Togekiss, it's almost impossible for her not to be Melia. The main villain duo is her and Zenos, counterparts to the protagonists.
>>59522371Are there any other Melias I need to know about?
>>59522376Variya is probably the first Melia
>>59522417erin won't admit it but she likes the interceptor's balls
I will make a new thread in a few hours.
If people are actually still interested in another playthrough, I'm willing to do a let's play. Though I have no idea how tripfagging works as I've genuinely never done it so someone has to explain it to my retarded ass.
>>59522513https://4chan.org/faq#trip
>>59522513Step 1: put <name you want to namefag as>##<easily remembered but uncommon word so you're able to tripfag on the go if necessary> in the name field (see that faq page for more info)Step 2: Post screenshots of anything you think lurkers would find interesting/funny/cringey/cool/generally worth caring aboutStep 3: Remember halfway into a spree of manually uploading individual lines of dialog that collaging images together is often faster than manually uploading all of them as 4chan has a 1 minute floodcheck between postsStep 4: If you think the thread has too much activity you can grind it to a screeching halt by asking the thread for literally any choices. It's especially funny to post an image of your pokemon boxes when you're bored and ask lurkers to decide on a full team for you. Showderp is definitely still alive, just ask the weedle posters
>>59522517>>59522524That was easy (or hard depending on if it worked). I'll check next thread if people are still interested. I don't want to end up with threads full of screenshots with no one else reading or replying, wasting everyone's time.
new thread?
>>59522529It's coming.
>>59522527I can't believe we got Jan's Negrified Aryan Spirit of Conquest and Lesbianism to post his playthrough in real time on /vp/...
>>59522527>>59522536I wonder what the maximum name field input length is
>>59522545that has a 12 digit secure tripcode password and 86 characters of namefagging (100 characters total)gonna try with 114 characters of namefagging (128 characters total)
