Brb need to eat.
>>59535395ERIN MENTIONED
Is it just me or after playing Rejuvenation , I do not feel any desire to play other Pokemon Fangames cuz Rejuvenation has set the bar too high .. I played a ton of different Fangames/romhacks before but after Rejuv , I do not feel like playing them/do not enjoy them...How do you guys feel??
>>59535437Trip on Jan
>>59535437why do so many retards on this website copy paste random reddit posts completely unprompted
>>59535446back in my day we used to onionsquote stupid bullshit before posting it
>>59535437For me it is all about the cast that makes or breaks an RPG, especially pokemon. There is no single main cast better than rejuv's in my honest opinion.I just resonate with them in a way I didn't know video games could even make me feel.
>>59535455>forgot i chose a filewell I guess we have to kill god for no particular reason now
>>59535437I can understand what you’re saying. For me I necessarily won’t say ruined cause I still love Desolation, Z, Unbreakable Ties, Tectonic, and Reborn but yeah… rejuv’s chain for #1 isn’t getting snatched for a looooong time thanks to V14.
>>59535446I have a feeling it's just a faggot who is spamming every /vp/ plays thread with this shit
>>59535458I said it on a previous thread, but where Rejuvenation stands out compare to EVERY other fangames and romhacks it's the characters, when you play and finish a pokémon fangame/romhack you will forget about the characters, but that's not the case for Rejuvenation, even if you finish Rejuvenation , you will still think about characters like Melia, Aelita, Erin, or whatever, I dunno who you like. It's also the only pokémon fangame where you can find many fanarts of the characters.
>>59535466He's just mad people are playing Rejuv I think.
>Neved brutally tortures Aelita because Keta hurts his feefees Jan can't seriously expect me to take this seriously
>>59535562APOLOGIZE TO NEVED YOU BIGOT. HE'S BLACK AND HE HAD A TOUGH CHILDHOOD.
>>59535476I don't think about or even remember 95% of the literal whos in Rejuvenation outside of the two good characters (Aelita, maybe Amber) and all of the niggers that are awful to be around (Melia, redhead afro faggot, blue haired electric jew, annoying Japanese steel bitch, etc)
The game is just so brutally boring after the first arc.
>>59535619>Amber>Good characterShe's a literallywho who only appears in a few chapters and only gets killed at the end to show you that rhe script shouldnt be changed
>59535627>literallywho>shouldntinane ESL babble
So another Madelis fight
Forgot the trip oops.Best couple in the game by the way
>>59535631Triggered because your character is irrelevant, cope harder
The photo thingy ended up being such a nothing burger, despite being one of the few characters traits of Melia pre-Xen/Vitus bullshit
>a bunch of text and boring fights later>Melia is a 75 year hag somehowNever been a fan of this
>>59535644Building upon actually possibly interesting things is too hard for small indie studioPrease undastand
And a fight against Cassandra, took a few tries thanks to multi hit and crit RNG bullshit killing the damage dealers of the team. Also>Hone Claws MimikyuC'mon Melia... you can do better than that
Well that just happened. Really boring section.
>>59535652I dont know who I hate more between this bitch, the nigger and the redditor.
>>59535436>off model art
>>59535653Dammmmn Melia got some boobs
Thankfully it's over, only one more section left. Can i go to the Den of Souls now or do i need to clear all 3? I don't remember but pretty sure there are some important items there
>>59535653melia is looking really ugly here, how did jan agree to this
>>59535657I'm sorry you're scared of women more attractive than you, Zumi
>>59535661probably has to do with the massive rack she has in this imageotherwise you can chalk things up to rejuv's cutscene graphics having very poor quality control and virtually nonexistent consistency
>>59535657NTA but that's the case for every female characters in fiction when depicted by fans. Rosa from BW is always drawn with big tits even though she has very small boobs in the game.
What the fuck is this thing ?>>59535215This is good to know. Hopefully I can skip these.
>>59535683A... M*xican...
>>59535683it isel faggoto
Truth be told, I was sadly spoiled that something weird was going to happen when I was getting to hearthome, but I already had a magcargo on me so it wasn’t too bad.
Nice. Perhaps Psyspamming might be the way...
Is this supposed to be funny ?
>>59535724Yes chud.
Again, what the fuck is this.
>>59535732Reddit humor
>>59535732Why does Ana have a big A on the back of her head anyway?
>>59535662Dont tell that to the Rejuvcord, they get mad when you sexualize the characters
dogshit game
Ah fuck man I’m not prepared for this >>59535738I always chalked that up to the idea that if an “Ana” gets lost, someone can easily tell that she’s a robot based on that letter
>>59535975Indubitably.
Done with the ghost gym, I must say mismagius suddenly being ghost fairy damn near ruined my first try if it weren’t for porygon being porygon. Porygon…porygon…poryporypory…
>>59536028She cute
it's over.....
This weirdo is ranting in Spanish again.>>59535626Yeah, I like Chapter 10 when you explore the woods and Darchlight caves, but it gets boring pretty fast once you enter GDC, most of the stuff you do here feels like a shore.
The backtracking you have to do just to change your nature or IV is annoying, I don't blame people for using passwords or debug mode, it's so tiresome.
Rival was unremarkable, its kinda funny seeing him be in the 30’s yet him still have a monferno. Anyway we’re going to raid a mansion.>>59536036I did crush on her when I was younger, I think she’s one of the reasons why I started having a thing for dancers.>>59536148No kidding.
I would’ve gotten so hype if this was in the original platinum. Platinum needs more multi battles.Also that one gauntlet with the 6 turn nincada line was a very peculiar gimmick, (un?)fortunately I keep forgetting to box staraptor, so that basically solved the problem.
>>59536279Yeah me too, I really like her design
>>59535437>>59535458>>59535476If I was a drawfag, I would probably draw Erin, sadly my drawing skills are terrible so I don't think that will ever happen.
>>59536139It irks me that V says "Hijo de puta" instead of "Hija", because she curses after talking to Madame Peony. I know it's because "son of a bitch" is used for both male and female, but it doesn't work that way in spanish. If they just wanted to make her curse outloud instead of cursing specifically Peony, they should have made her say "¡Mierda!" instead
Suppose that’s that for the day, I forgot to post it but they gave me a whole ass manaphy which is probably broken but I don’t care I love manaphy.My thoughts have changed somewhat, there are some weird changes, and I don’t quite understand the inclusion of some Pokémon (like Tinkaton in Amity Square) but it’s still a fun time and feels like an improved platinum. I don’t know what clothes I should change into so I chose this. Hopefully things stay solid from here.
>>59536148This is a game balanced by a shitter who had to lower the difficulty to get through xis epic chungus difficulty wank contentYou're gonna suffer without debug or outright cheatingGive icy wind btw
I cannot tell you how many times leech seed has missed. I wish the guy who came up with accuracy nothing but pain and misery for the rest of his worthless life.
mini gauntlet time>>59537345haha yeah...
>>59537376oh shit it's the ZU tiereveryone run for your lives
>>59537386wait nevermindCHARIZARD from KANTOOOOOOOO is banned from ZUWe'll be safe
Oh look, Looker is even in Aevium.>>59536431Yeah, I get what you mean, we have similar grammatical rules in French.
She should have precised that they sell them during night time. How am I supposed to know ? They sell a ton of shit during the day despite being called the night market.
>>59537409when I was doing that quest I had my time locked to 12 pm because of main plot reasons, and I kept looking everywhere in the night market for it, then saw that the wiki said that Madame Peony sold it, so I started the Missing Children sidequest thinking that might have been it, only to realize when I finished it that she only sells it at nighttime Night Marketfucking stupid to not tell you to check specifically at night
>>59535683Isnt this character a troon that goes by any pronoun ?
>>59537416yeah
could have finished it faster if rng wasn't fucking me up so bad today. lots of crits, misses, and even a freeze that costed me the win>>59537416yeah, there's a time when Madame Peony calls V a girl and V says "I'm not a girl"
It's over.
Now Looker is speaking Italian.>>59537414It's impossible to complete this game without looking a guide or the wiki. There's a ton of missable content, this game has a ton of dialogue but it doesn't really go into much detail when you need help for a quest, just like half of the quests don't even appear in the fucking quest log. I am convinced they did this on purpose so you have to check their wiki.>>59537416Yeah that's what I thought to, this character looks like a dude with a wig.
I'll be honest, I don't even remember your name, you're one of the most forgettable characters in the game.
oh cool, they changed the illusion part to make it not super mega obvious... like, you used to fight against an enemy that had Melia's and Aelita's exact teams, they were even shinies on Melia's part, and your partner had a whole new team you've never seen before. it was so obvious it hurt>>59537447I wish it wasn't that way, but yeah a guide is 100% needed for this game unless you don't mind missing out on content>>59537451he only has 2 important appearances in the whole story, iirc. 1 is his gym fight and the whole garbodor thingy, 2 is that optional sidequest
Volcanic field makes this fight easy. I'm now ready to face Souta and I really hate this fight.>>59537429Is this the fight against the visorbitch ? How was the fight against Souta by the way ?
>>59537468Meant >>59537458
>>59537468bring jihadbirdsyou'll need 'em
>>59537468Souta also happens to be not so great on volcanic field
>>59537468>Volcanic field makes this fight easy.you can summon it on double battles by using fire and water pledges on the same turn>Is this the fight against the visorbitch ?yep!>How was the fight against Souta by the way ?was expecting it to be hell, but it was super easy, actually. mostly because I checked the field info >>59519704
>>59537483>fire and water pledgesfire and grass* just realized, sorryfire and water should be Rainbow Fieldwater and grass should be Swamp Field
This fight was annoying and I had to retry a few times. Talonflame was the true MVP of the fight as she killed 4 mons by herself with the help of Arcanine. I'd say the hardest part was killing the last 2 mons because both Talonflame and Hisuian Arcanine were dead so I had to pray that my other mons were bulky enough to tank a hit. I'm gonna take a break now.
>>59537502H-Arcanine seems so strong on paper and maybe it is, but it really just kinda dies to almost anything.
>>59537502This fight can easily be cheesed with 6 jihadbirds, old man can't do anything against it
Grafarai seems like it could be MVP for certain bosses and you get it pretty early...
>>59537502congrats! Souta is annoying as hell if you don't have a flying type 'mon or if he gets a tailwind up
>>59537508Yeah, it's a glass canon, Head Smash and Raging Fury do a shit ton of damage but It also dies so fast. In this fight, he was useful as a finisher because it has extreme speed, and also against Unfezant because Unfezant doesn't have any good move to counter Rock/Fire.
>What are we talking about?kinda funny that everyone absolutely hates this dialogue choice except Allen
>>59537592Allen is underrated.>>59537522Yeah he either tears holes through the enemy team or immediately gets offed by some random coverage move.
>>59537593>Allen is underrated.I like him, shame he only exists to either be puppeteered by Alice, or to sacrifice himself for Alice
>>59537593>>59537600He is overshadowed by his sister. It's the case for every siblings in this game. Flora is more important than Florin, Alexandra is more important than Damien, etc... I feel bad for Allen too because he's one of my favorite male characters in the game and he just feels like wasted potential.
>>59537606While they are not siblings, you can also say the same thing about Kieran and Clear
>>59537606>all male characters get overshadowed by female charactersGynocracy wins again!
Also, the protectors of past Aevium are all women
>>59537611I wouldn't say Clear overshadows Kieran, Kieran gets way more screentime and an actual personality, but Clear is also a bit more interesting because of her illusions and her being more reserved. the other examples are true though
>>59537611Tbh I hate that Reniggade made Clear looks sympathetic, we are supposed to be evil and this bitch tries to help the enemy twice. At least Kieran does the job.
>>59537621Well, Kieran 2.0 dies at the very end of Paragon. So in act 3 we might only see Clear
>>59537628didn't Clear also die? I kinda remembered both dying
>>59537639No. Kieran 2.0 dies when trying to attack Maria who is having a plot armor moment. Then, Kaina gets turned into a statue and Clear 2.0 teleports both of them away.
>>59537642oh wait you're right, I was confusing them with their 1.0 counterparts, my bad
>>59537592What are they saying when you pick that choice ?
>>59537678something along the lines of "Seriously? You weren't paying attention?", but I just skimmed past two lines and F12'd, sorry anon. hopefully someone checks the dialogue through an editor or something
>>59537678dug through my save files just to check, this is all the unique dialogue that choice has
>memento fails against aegislash>check the field for any mentions of prankster failing on steel types or against enemies with stance change>can't find anything>feel retarded but switch memento for sunny day>aegislash takes neutral damage against steel type attacks>it was a fucking zoroarkfucking forgot about the crest existing, no wonder memento failed while it also got the stance change boost on switch in
annoying fight as usual, super skewed on her favor. I remember when chapter 15 had just dropped and this was the first fight you had to do before getting to the real update, got stuck there and it was really frustrating
>>59537746The field effects get tiring after a while IMO. I can only see so much "this field only buffs MY team" before it starts getting boring.
Damien trying to fight back against the Gynocracy... but it wasn't meant to be...
>Kieran is evil and violent, he's the fighting robot while Clear is the smart robot>Neved is evil and violent, he tortured Aelita >Damien is violent and almost used dragon pulse on a woman just doing her job, so he's kinda evil tooWhat the fuck did Jan mean by this ? Every black men in this game is violent and evil.
>>59537794Field effects are a good system when they let the player and enemy both use the buffs or you have ways to nullify/alter fields with smart play, a lot (not all but a lot) of Reborn's fields are like thatRejuv on the other hand was designed by a drooling retard who made a bunch of fields that have extremely specific interactions and combos and otherwise useless moves tailored towards the enemies that the player probably won't or can't haveShout outs to the final field of this episode giving a specific buff to Damien's Latios holding a Soul Dew which makes it resistant to Dark and Ghost type moves or all the ruin legendaries getting super speshul buffs to the already busted as shit ruin abilities
>>59537829Jan wishes he was a lesbian white woman instead of a gay black man.
>>59537794>>59537834I don't really get how or why they fucked this up desu. It was introduced so well in the early parts of the game. Even the first few gyms that were clearly giving an advantage to the gym leader, still had ways you could exploit it as well. I can use an otherwise mediocre pokemon with a shitty ability (because its buffed by the field to be good) and has a move that sucks (but is actually good in the field). I genuinely enjoyed going out of my way to find random shit that could do well in different local fields, it was FUN and felt REWARDING.Then at some point it just seems like they went full retard, leaning way too hard into the shilled effects while simultaneously taking away (or heavily restricting) your ability to abuse or counter them.My options are typically either>a) fight fire with fire, building a team around their field and attempting to outplay themGenerally just doesn't work well. They have access to better pokemon than me, better moves, better held items, and a better team for the field than I can realistically make.b) build a team specifically cheese or hard counter theirs, in a way that doesn't interact or care about the field, or just hope for good rng in the battleworks very well, but feels very cheap and unrewarding
>>59537829the only one you forgot is Jean>who?the guy who made the machine with Xara and technically also the base for Kieran physically, at least, because personality wise Clear and Kieran are swapped
>>59537873Is melia even really a lesbian? From what I remember from rejuv she comes across as a stone cold sociopath in every interaction to the point I doubt she has any feelings for venam.
>>59537883oh also Cairo, but he only appears twice in the whole story
>>59537884When was the last time you played? Pretty much everyone's personality got changed except maybe Aelita.
>>59537888The previous version a few years ago, but melia's interactions with jenner and everybody always came across as forced to me. Anything that's not strictly business with her always looks just a little fake.
>>59537876The real reason is that a lot of earlier fields are based off of Reborn's simpler fields or were made at a time when Jan was trying to emulate Reborn's fieldsAnd then later fields + Jan's incessant need to "one up" Reborn led to slapping on a bunch of random gimmicks, fields with bizarre and specific effects that only serve to benefit specific boss fights and screw over normal player countersThe fact that people have been playing this game so long and also found every way to mess with fields to do fun shit also made Janny seethe too. You used to be able to get to Underwater field in the Zetta/Geara fight which could let you sweep them with water mons, that was kino. Now though the devs heavily restricted a ton of possible field changes because they fundamentally dislike player agency (reflected pretty well in other areas of the game like the story and later """"level design"""" too)
>>59537746When I think about it. Erin is the only major character we don't really battle, kinda strange ngl, and that battle in past Aevium with Aelita and Melia doesn't count.>>59537883>personality wise Clear and Kieran are swappeYou mean that Jean is actually closer to Clear despite being the base for Kieran ?
>>59537829>allen is misguided at first but a good guy in the end>keta is misguided at first but a good guy in the end>huey is a good guy>kanon is a good guy>vitus starts out as a chill guy and only becomes evil after his wife diesYeah what's going on here? Lmao.
>>59537884yeah though the lesbian subplot took a huge backseat (for the better)in older versions terajuma was centered entirely on venam and melia's dyke drama
>>59537902>Vitus starts out as a chill guy and only becomes evil after his wife diesThey changed this in Chapter 16, Vitus was always evil.
>>59537891Probably just comes down to bad writing honestly. >>59537907Oh that sucks. He seemed likeable in that one chapter. What changed about him exactly?
>>59537912Chapter 16 added some backstory about him and it shows that he manipulated Anathea
>>59537897>Erin is the only major character we don't really battleshe doesn't really like battling and tries to avoid it whenever she can, so I guess it's understandable. you do fight her at full power in the surrender ending when you let the world get fucked by Kaina, but that's kinda canon but not really>You mean that Jean is actually closer to Clear despite being the base for Kieran ?I mean it in the literal sense, one of Shayda's flashbacks shows it >>59520205 unless I misunderstood what it's actually trying to say
>>59537897We will probably fight her in Renegade at some point. Erin is pretty tough so I expect her to be one of the last people the MC will kill.
>>59537897>>59537920You already fight her on Renegade and then she dies, unless there's yet another asspull
>>59537924Aelita and Erin don't die in Renegade, Venam and Ren do.
>>59537928Venam will come back to life
>>59537902>>allen is misguided at first but a good guy in the endhe isn't misguided, he's Alice's puppet until the pyramid stuff happens where he finally becomes free and opposes heryou can notice it when Erin tries to fight the Bladestar grunts during Cassandra's bomb ball and Alice tries to stop her and goes crazy, Allen falls over because she isn't controlling him anymore
>>59537906It's in GDC now
>>59537912Basically Jan realized that Vitus wasn't unlikable enough for what was ostensibly supposed to be the main villain of the gameSo it was revealed that he only got into Anathea's pants so he could get Meloetta, he's been spying on the main cast and is the head of Team Xen and is behind everything bad ever (like apparently even being Crescent's dad in her sob story) in a big reveal of like 10 minutesThe characters also just constantly call him a fat hideous slob pig who gorges himself and drinks wine (lol), and then you even have drawn out multiple choice death scenes. A good chunk of Renegade is also dedicated to making Marianette eternally torture him or some gay shit
How??? Aelita is a jobber...>>59537937The sheer pettiness makes me laugh to be honest.
Huh.>>59537902I’m still salty over not being able to EON Geara in renegade and being forced to be buddy buddy with him in paragon. Can giratina nick that guy?
>>59538025It's hilarious because on Valor Mountain Melia literally said that she will make Geara pay for what she's done
>playing the erin + kanon chapterWords cannot describe how bored I am. This shit better be skippable in NG+.......
>>59538209If you dont like the erin+kanon chapter, you're nit ready for venam+ren, its worse
>>59538231Fuck man I just want to play the latest chapter, I accidentally lost my v13 save file. I completely forgot how much of a chore these are, no new items or Pokemon to catch I'm just playing some bog standard below average JRPG at this point.
>>59537829Meanwhile black female characters :The governor of Grand Dream CityThe protector of AeviumThe fucking champion of AeviumIt's over.
Wow manaphy is pretty cool anyway I’m gonna go sleep or somethin >>59538209It is thankfully, I remember being quite bored when I got to them as well.
We're going to wait another 2 years for V15....
>>59538279If Jan had cut the useless time travel segments the story would have been done by now.>>59538271Thank God.
>>595382793 years
>>59538319Fuck man i'll be 30 in 3 years and this game won't be over
>>59538244The champion is a incompetent bum though she does NOTHING
>there's a Lin sprite pack for RejuvKino...
>>59538279How likely we will get a V14.5 before V15 ???
>>59538271Bro where the fuck are you from to go to sleep at that hour
>>59537953If she's somehow the only one on par with the MC despite getting the worst fucking teambuilding of all the rivalsThen just how low are the standards then
>>59538620Yeah I remember getting extremely annoyed when being paired up with her for fights in the late game, at best she's a punching bag that turns the fight into a 1v2 after 6 turns (bit of a hyperbole but still). Her team in the early game isn't too shabby though for some reason.
>>59537794>>59537834It's less Field Effect and more Dynamic Environmental Battle System (DABS); in which where you fight effects the battle as a whole.
>>59538767>Dynamic Environmental Battle System (DEBS)Fixed.
>>59538767>>59538770maybe you should take MEDS
>>59537834>Rejuv on the other hand was designed by a drooling retard who made a bunch of fields that have extremely specific interactions and combos and otherwise useless moves tailored towards the enemies that the player probably won't or can't haveThis. There are a ton of randomly boosted moves that by the time you have access to them the field basically stops appearing anywhere in the game.Also finally have wifi, been playing through school of nightmares section, currently on Saki's nightmare door
>>59537834Being screwed over because the opponent has an otherwise totally useless move/ability/item that you'll never use in any other field is good, actually
>>59538839I hope this shit is skippable in NG+ because this is the worst part of the game ever
Yeah this part of the game is really tedious, skip it if you can. I unfortunately don't have that luxury.
I'm so tired of these 2, Risa should catch more mons
>le 4th wall break
>>59538870At least you have Aelita and Amber I guess. The Erin section was more painful IMO because of how shit the level design is. Doing x thing to open a door ad infinitum is infuriating.
>even the game recognizes Whoey being unimportant to the plotI mean why have him at all if that's gonna be the case? Just as a joke?
>>59538888Nice quads!This implies that Aelita is poor as fuck
>>59538888>AmberBoring character
Why the fuck there has to be always a schizo in these types of killing games?
Oh yeah and he has a Zekrom for reasons
That's... a thing that exists
>>59538888Still not as bad as the Venam section desu.
And isha fight inside Aelita's nightmare door
>SOMEHOW Saki Chatgpt bot won against a device able to project dreamsNo wonder everyone hates the Balckeory family
>>59538915I remember this guy having a proper boss fight in v12...>>59538912I dunno it was fairly linear so I could just skip all the dialogue real easy walking from cutscene to cutscene.
>I WILL END THE KILLING GAMEGod i despise this kind of character, at least Nagito in Danganronpa 2 was interesting and we also play as him for a bit, Jean is just some derranged who to pad this section
And he has a GUN too because why the fuck not
This really wasn't necessary, after Aelita's nightmare door we get some rules and one of those is that people can't really be hurt in the nightmare realm basically, granted pretty sure Jean works for the Puppet Master so whatever (well like 1/3 of the cast does so anyways)
>Tell Amber that she's got this>She gets all flusteredFuck bros she's so cute
>>59538926I remember constantly being ambushed by these robots that look like pokémons and this was painful. I personally didn't find the Erin section that annoying except for the doors puzzle with Regice. Been a while I have played so I don't remember well.
There's a pretty boring, not important and kinda out of place section with Lavender and Risa but whatever it ends up with Lavender fighting a Reshiram because why not
>>59538946JustinRPG's wife......
>>59538941>I remember constantly being ambushed by these robots that look like pokémons and this was painful.Yeah the Lairon things running around, funny thing is they are STILL ACTIVE if you go down there as the MC, thankfully you can just run and they slow down after doing so (same for the Regis)
>>59538941Gonna be honest I ctrl'd them. They all respawn after you re-enter the area too.
So route 2 time>>59538904>>59538937She really could have been part of the main cast considering we basically live with her, she seems to really care about the MC to the point of postponing a concert multiple times, getting tickets and writing a letter and the fact Aelita is technically her Cousin/Aunt (i know it's weird) but like a lot of characters in Rejuv she barely get enough screentime
>>59538932He black, ofc nigga owns a gun
>ants troubled
>>59538926Probably nerfed cuz you have to do the fight twice, once with Aelita then Amber, realistically it could've been a 2v1 multi battle and give you the option to skip later
I feel like I've heard that line before...
I don't remember this, cool i guess
>>59538969I'm still waiting for a quest where we spend time with Erin in the library and just do non-serious things. The main problem is that there are a lot of characters who appear, but we spend very little time with them outside of the main story. I mentioned Erin as my example, but Ren is also another one.
Based on that line of dialogue alone the person behind the mask could be literally anyone. Hating the Blackeorys seems like a pretty universal thing in this world
>>59538986Pretty based. Vitus was right about that lot.
>>59538896I think that's just an oversight with the character swapping gimmick because you usually don't get to buy things as other characters
>>59538989Vitus did nothing wrong
>>59538984They kinda shot themselves in the foot with Ren being part of Team Xen for like 2/3 of the game, more so with him being sheltered from the Terajuma and Blacksteeple stuff
>>59538984Yeah there should really be hangout events. It's hard to get invested into characters like Erin / Allen / Alice / any of the other ones because they barely interact with the player.
>>59538969>aelita and amber>cousinsReminder that Tesla got very drunk at Kenneth and Taelia's wedding and got knocked up by Aelita's "dad" during the afterparty
So this shit really is just a Danganronpa ripoff
Cute section and all of that but aren't we breaking one of the rules? I guess it's only right when the interceptor does so>>59538991Yeah you can activate the Interceptor's Wish in these sections, makes sense if you wanted to restock for whatever reason
Oh yeah is that creep that tried to hit on Melia
>>59538996Yeah I agree, I think he spends a lot more time with Nastasia than the rest of the cast actually. >>59538997It's a shame because I like Erin but there's very little chemistry between her and the MC. >>59539004I remember reading somewhere that this sception was heavily inspired by Danganronpa.
>>59539004Ya know there being an ancient, technologically advanced civilization that lived underground and sacrificed themselves to save their own people but died in the end, also leaving behind holograms of themselves was probably borrowed from FFXIV as well.
>>59539014>Dangaronpa inspiredI mean yeah it shows, it's not subtle at all but it also doesn't feel right, lacks a lot of interesting mysteries, Whoey and Lavender door is whatever and Aelita and Amber's truth is literally locked on another game (Where Love Lies)
And yeah that's basically where i am right now, god i want this shit to end.
>>59538984That'd require letting her have actual character development before karma filesBecause until then her entire character is just endless snark occasionally punctuated by "i'm so smart because i make surface level observations" for most of her screentime>RenThe devs really have to make up their mind as to which side he's onHis betrayal which is meant to be a big deal is just completely irrelevant after 1 sceneand by chapter 13 he's only in team xen by technicality and if him joining them never happened, nothing would even changeI think that they should've just stuck with either Ren actually rejoining the party and having the consequences of being ex-team Xen be a significant part of story sections/cutscenes involving him, or just have him be in Xen for basically the entire story, or at least until the xen base raid if you spare him instead of killing him for being a terrorist, but that's obviously never happening because Jan doesn't like actual choice in his oh wait the game's rebornevo download page doesn't even mention choices as a major mechanic in the feature list LMFAO
I find this section funny cuz it tries to play like some traumatic and super dark creepypasta but i doubt it's that traumatizing having your memories wiped by Kieran and Clear of all people in the whole cast of Rejuv
>>59539041Feels like Jan tried to make the characters more likeable during v13 and in turn made most of them more boring.>>59539040This shit goes on for way too long man I genuinely started skipping fights after some point.
>>59539041Erin gets introduced a bit too late in the game imo, it would have been nice if there was a sidequest in early game or Terrajuma involving her, just like they did with Alexandra and the black shards in Chapter 6.
Just started chapter 15How many hours roughly do I have left?I know there's supposed to 'only' be 16 chapters so 2 left? but I am still missing like 5 badges and and the E8 so are these ones just bloated af?
>>59539134At least 100>chapter 16More like 3 chapters crammed into one (even doe you fight the 16th, 17th, and 18th gym leaders in varying parts of chapter "16")
>>59539065If they introduced Erin earlier, it'd be over for Melia and Venam though
Anons that are doing monotype are you on on just a normal NG file or NG+?Never done a NG+, so I don't know how bullshit the new optional boss fights on it are and if I'm better just doing another NG for my monotype run
>>59539432I'm on ng+, so I had to deal with umbral boost shenanigans, and also some optional missable stuff like the black key boss. I'd say go for ng+, and if it's too bullshit for your taste, just use debug to skip them (hold CTRL before starting the fight, or hold CTRL when clickin run away in battle)also, remember to check the unicode variables and check all the ng+ stuff in case your game doesn't notice stuff like a Desolation and Reborn save file, and stuff like puzzles you've already done, or miniquests like the growlithe and spurr ones
>>59539498oh and btw ng+ is purely better than a normal ng run because all of the super bosses are optional, the black key quest is missable (and with it the rest of the superbossed that come after from that quest), the umbral fights can also be missed, and you can skip the boring segments like Lavender's escape
She nearly filtered me. Had to do more trial and error than probably any other fight so far.Crest Cryonogal was working well to set up against her azurmarill but her play rough crit and ended that. Spritomb with its crest clutched itLast 2 fights have both been pretty brutal
>>59539764fairy tale field should just be removed desu
>>59539949fairty type should just be removed desu
You're not the center of the universe Melia.>>59538862I think the Shool of Nightmares isn't skippable unfortuantely.
Hahaha. Need more sections of the MC+Erin.
She's spitting facts, but that's something you could say during the entire game, especially during the Kaina's reveal.
We all died.
This was much better. Thankfully, Aelita isn't really difficult despite being Rock/Fighting, which my team can have a hard time countering.
So, this is why the chapter is called like that.
I don't care about Venam.
>>59540120fortunately you fight Adam in the inverse field so you won't have many problems with him
>>59540100>I think the Shool of Nightmares isn't skippable unfortuantely.Darn. 13.5 was such a mistake man...
>>59540175threadly reminder that karma files would be incomparably better if it just focused on improving and polishing existing content rather than trying to shoehorn in an entire new story split and generally shoving in "lol everything's actually a simulation and everything is pre-scripted aren't i so meta guys XD" bullshit
>>59540179The story was going nowhere after Valor Mountain anyway, this was just the logical outcome of not knowing what to do with the story probably. Really, try to describe to story after VM in a concise, understandable manner, I personally can't do it. He's just stacking shit on top of shit at this point.
>>59539058>This shit goes on for way too long manTakes forever, tons of random bullshit that just happens for no reason and leads nowhere like Aelita getting shot, several loredrops and when it finally ends the Puppet Master tries to end the world.
>>59540196>The story was going nowhere after Valor Mountain anywayif only there was a main evil team whose base was planned to be raided at the end of v13>Really, try to describe to story after VM in a concise, understandable mannerok>get railroaded into following melia into time travel slop section #1 and get nuked in a cutscene>after someone else's problem you go deal with the rift garbodor in east gearen>then you go to GDC, have the train you're in get stopped along the way due to sabotage, then once you fix the tracks, you go explore urban mapping nightmare #283 and get some weird dreams before finally reuniting with your gf>then after going to that spiritual healer to deal with her curse you go back in the past to watch melia fuck more things up>after going through hell and back you watch that absol fucker screw everything up yet againunrelated but erin's absol's gender is very inconsistent>female in darchlight cave, the botanical garden, the diamond "route", the 24 hour ending battle, the true grief gauntlet, alice/allen's gym, and blakeory atheneum>male in past sheridan>random gender in a glorified cutsceneyou just can't know for sureback on topic>more time travel bullshit that doesn't affect the present plot beyond you ending up in the obligatory desert area, then you go back to gdc for a tournament>turns out the communists gdc just committed a terrorist attack, and you have to go into the obligatory pyramid dungeon to save melia>after that you do some weird training then the party splits up for fetch quests>and dealing with some schizo but that's not important>after filler content you get a threat and once the player goes through time travel filler section #3 oh wow GDC became a warzone if only the absol fucker didn't discuss her plans to raid the main terrorist group in front of one of their guys also melia kills your other gf>then after that you raid team xen and who cares there's now a bitch threatening to delete the multiverse
>>59540324everything after chapter 14 feels like it was all jammed together without much thought as if there were some kind of deadlineexcept there very obviously wasn't, and if anything patreon gave the devs a very strong incentive to take their timeso who's excited for all of act 3 + the postgame to be jammed together into 1 updatewith absolutely all of the quality and missing polish related problems that implies
>>59540352Ya that's not a followable story those are tangentially related events. That's what I'm saying, in the VM arc you need to gather 3 macguffins and go to VM, everything you do is related to that (as far as I can remember at least).
>>59540376oh wait you asked for an attempt to connect those together and not an abridged TL;DR of the most important act 2 happeningsuuuh>chapter 9 just comes out of nowhere instead of letting the player go and tie up some loose ends after the events of act 2>chapter 10 could count if you're thinking about the story after years of not actually playing chapter 9 which'd make you forget you had a reason to go to GDC (dealing with Aelita's curse)>chapter 11's start is just finishing the journey to GDC but not much happens there beyond getting a lot of infodumps and a gajillion character introductions>chapter 12 is when you finally go and do that thing you would've been able to do 3 chapters ago if it wasn't for dyke drama, a broken train track, and paddingand then with Aelita's curse healed, that wraps up the only currently followed goal the MC had at that pointthe story could've gone one of two ways from there>the MC getting to go on an adventure with Aelita and have some time not being dragged through plot bullshit>or the MC getting sent on an errand and suddenly getting sent to the middle of nowhere due to some blonde haired pricks deciding to be annoying, before getting yeeted into the past by a visornigger for a whilesurprise, it's the latterthen once that gunk is dealt with, you can finally do that tournament thing hinted in ch11 and lol it gets interrupted by terroriststhe rest of act 2 is just an endless stream of chapters with nothing to do with the previous one beyond whatever sudden incident happens right after you get a badgealso team xen (as an actual villainous team and not a handful of glup shittos) is irrelevant during the entirety of act 2 up until chapter 16.2 because reasons
How do you beat the Shada/Eizen fight where you have to fight both the Puppet Master and Dark Gardevoir ? I'm stuck here
>>59540431that's an optional fight innit? either way aevian parasects and revives should win pretty much anything via action economy if you aren't on noitems
>>59540440Yes, it's a NG+ fight in Chapter 13
>>59540424So I guess if you ignore the padding act 2 is about saving Aelita and after that dealing with Xenpurgis I guess? I haven't played chapter 16 yet but that's what it seems to be building up to.>>59540440It learns infestation and will-o-wisp too so I guess you can just stall everything to death lmao.
>>59540448Yeah that's literally the only two things that happen in act 2 that have connections to any previous chapters (i'm not counting the pastshit because it doesn't affect the main plot and if chapter 3 wasn't there then chapter 9 would still be exactly the same as it currently is)Everything else is just busywork or unconnected effectively random events>I haven't played chapter 16 yetI'll be surprised if you even make it to ch16 part 3with the downright unholy amount of padding (both gameplay and story related) in that messnot helped by the very real likelihood that you'll be spoiled on nothing in the entire story mattering because of jan's insatiable hunger for one upping an already everything-crept game by adding some new doomsday villain out of literal fucking nowhere (a random easily missable one off line with zero context is not credible foreshadowing)aw shit did I just accidentally spoil v14's big plot reveal well shit, at that point what's mentioning that jan just kills off one of the few sympathetic characters for kicks (and no you cannot save her despite you being the "main character" and "having the power to change fate" (lol), i literally just told you that jan loves throwing away stuff from previous versions) compared to thatoh and if you thought deep earth wasn't obnoxious enoughtry the deux finalis field
>>59540431This fight gave me cancer
>>59540440>>59540448I trust the brilliant gameplay designers to fix any and all cheese for full release
Everything from this game other than Erin was a mistake
>>59540473is this actua-oh wait from that UI I know this isn't rejuvi was almost convinced by the antialiased graphics and edgy dialog
>>59540473It should delete your save if you lose too.>>59540467>I'll be surprised if you even make it to ch16 part 3I would be too. When I started playing I was hopeful of doing the NG+ content too. Now during chapter 15 I have to take frequent breaks because of how bored I feel. If it were just dialogue dumps that'd be one thing but the puzzles, riddles, minigames, searching for items etc makes it so much worse. I just want to catch some pokeymans and explore stuff...>>59540472Get well soon!
>>59540473Cells
>>59540489i feel like you'll get a far more engaging, and thankfully shorter, experience by launching halo ce and playing through the fan favorite level The Libraryfor a close enough approximation of chapter 16.1's experience without debug mode, try doing that level without picking up any shotguns>If it were just dialogue dumps that'd be one thing but the puzzles, riddles, minigames, searching for items etc makes it so much worse. I just want to catch some pokeymans and explore stuff...with this game it's either nonstop plot or suddenly getting an entire arc's worth of side content getting thrown at you all at once with the risk of locking yourself out of good mons/items/etc if you don't immediately stop to do entire mountains of sidequests (including the arduous task of figuring out how to start everything necessary without a walkthrough) at the earliest opportunitieslike reborn's lategame but made far worse by the urgency of permanently missable content/points of no return, the near total lack of ingame hints as to where to even start most of the sidequest stuff (despite the first act's towns having help centers specifically to alleviate that in theory) and the sheer amount of maps to sweep through
>>59540530where's the funny
>Checks the Rejuvenation subreddit>Sees this shit on the front page
>>59540534Why are these retards talking about te White Genocide in South Africa, and why does Erin look like a hag ?
>>59540534That doesn't even make any sense, rotom phones aren't a thing in Aevium until the absolute slog section that is school of nightmares
>>59540540It's just Reddit humor, it's not an actual thing in the game. Some retard made this edit and the rejuvenation subreddit loved it because they hate white people despite being white themselves
>>59540534Epic ! Have my upvote !
>>59540543well that isn't Aevium it's Vitus' "perfect world" which is just irl
>>59540524Yea I noticed that when I almost missed out on Moseley's quest because I didn't know it had to be nighttime for her to appear so I almost missed out on mega kangaskhan lol. I had to warp back to GDC via debug too because it only told me I failed the quest after it was already locked off.
>>59540534I think I'm too much of a normalfag to understand what's going on or where's the funny
>>59540576the joke is that grok has allegedly right-wing opinions
>characters seeing pc as different genders is gone now>gets replaced by some vague soul stuffAww I get that it was a horrible plot twist that made no sense on any level but it was funny.Also there's a big AH on the floor here, very subtle, Jan. Once again proving that every homosexual brown is a white nationalist at heart.
>>59540700Everyone know that Melia is what Jan wishes he were, an aryan blonde woman.
>>59540576I think there was a time when Elon reprogrammed Grok to prioritize his views regarding a South African genocide but he fucked up and prioritized it too much or something so Grok would respond to normal questions by talking about said genocide despite the original question not being about genocide or South Africa in general so the whole "funny" is that it's a reference to that
>>59540755Ah I see, so it's just typical twitter drama I guess
>>59540534This is something that you could hear in Shitstones since Jos is a huge faggot. Despite the LGBT stuff, Jan doesn't add political messages about real life events in his game I think
>>59540743Wait a minute the school was called Axis High as well, was it actually intended?
That's not gonna happen Thomas
>obligatory Akira reference
You can guess Jean was actually Kieran since he says his stupid catchphrase when shooting Aelita but that's literally just one random line, fairly obvious line yes but still kinda forgettable
>>59540942This entire scene was retarded
I jobbed, Mega Scrafty walled Mega Alakazam and the rest of team was unable to outspeed it, Zoroark couldn't use counter cuz i sent Crustle first, either way no big deal
>fucking WHO?
I mean a robot has to be one of the least impressive technological advancements in Aevium, let alone the whole Pokémon world
Jobbed again, called out both Erick and Aelita wrong and got damaged before the fight, great design. At least it's optional so whatever
>>59540949It sure was, felt stupidly contrived for no reason.Pretty sure Rhodea having a hate boner for the Blackeorys is somewhat forshadowed in the nightmare casino, you can see her muttering something. Still a bit out of nowhere and late (that could be said about Hazuki's plan against Thomas)
Senile bitch time and man is this shit difficult. Free Trick Room is not fun.
>>59540352>>59540424Cry retard
>>59540978oops forgot name
>Mirror Armor negates priority on this random FOTM fieldFantastic, i should really read the effects instead of brute forcing my way. I really need heart scales to get Hidden Power on all my special attackers, and maybe get Dazzling Gleam TM
>>59540979Jan rent free in your head retard
alright gauntlet fight #1 down with no faints on my side, M-Camerupt with trick room is as strong as always
>>59540980>Fantastic, i should really read the effects instead of brute forcing my way.Yeah but then you waste even more time on these shitty fights.
>>59541114oof, took a few tries to see where some of the first attacks played out, but was able to pull through all 3 fights, M-Camerupt is always the goat of these doubles battles
>Crescent's entire arc gets solved in a 5 minute sceneAfter dozens of hours of nothing happening this breakneck pace is giving me whiplash.
>her full name is Crescent MoonThis is the writing I came here for.
>>59541184This whore is my least favorite character, not even Neved and Geara come that close
>The foe's Corviknight used U-turn>[Breloom lost 186 HP, now has 37 HP]>It's super effective!>The foe's Corviknight went back to Hazuki!>Rogue Hero Hazuki sent out Aurorus!>HAZUKI: A change in setting, a change in stance.>[Aurorus's Snow Warning]>It started to snow!>The foe's Chandelure used Dazzling Gleam!>For ever after!So she can just cheat the field into Fairy Tale field, awesome
Alice ?>>59540972This fight was horrible during my first playthrough.
>>59541239Understandable. She barely does anything in the story other than bitch and complain.
>>59541274>Get dunked onHOLY SHIT AN UNDERTALE IN REJUVENATION, WHO DIDN'T EXPECT THAT ?
>Killing terrorists is bad. Terrorists deserve a second chance even if they kill a bunch of innocentsFlorin sounds so fucking stupid and naive. And I'm convinced this is also how the devs think since Geara, Neved and Madelis get to live a nice and comfy life despite all the horrible crimes they did.
>>59541311>devs think pedophiles deserve second chancesPretty problematic...
>>59541311Vitus made them do it. It's all his fault. I fucking hate Vitus.
Running the numbers somehow Aevian Breelom can OHKO Mega Corviknight but Mega Alakazam can't...? To be fair it's Tough Claws Electric Gem Wake Up Shock (160 BP) on asleep Corvi vs 90 BP Hidden Power Electric but kinda curious
>>59541377Nevermind it's not even 90 BP Hidden Power, more like 78 BP (Psyquic Terrain boost to Hidden Power is 1.3x instead of 1.5x when overlaid)
>>59541377You must have to patience of a saint to do this legitimately and without items. Can't imagine what that fight would have turned out like if hard mode were still a thing.
>>59541184>>Crescent's entire arc gets solved in a 5 minute sceneto be fair, most characters that aren't Melia barely get anything that isn't offscreen development. even the main cast has trouble getting any screentime>Venam is immature and a bitch of an asshole>she wants to change because she was still conscious as a stone and for some reason realized she was too childish>Ren joins team Xen to "revive" Melia>he sees Melia in Helojak and now being part of team Xen has zero repercussions other than not being able to hang out with the gang for a good chunk of the game>Aelita gets cursed>the curse gets broken off screen>Aelita is now a bitch>you have to go back to the past with her because uhhhhh anyway they tell her Kenneth isn't her father and then comes back to normal after a rift fight>Erin barely has any ties to the gang>she realizes she's Melia's sister offscreen>repeat for Alice and Allen>Reina finds out Ren is part of team Xen>she's okay with it because she finally found him and he doesn't seem cartoonishly evilhell I'd go as far as to say that Crescent actually had a pretty good arc in comparison
>>59541482>a bitch of anbit*
I wish more people loved Kanon.
>>59541482It's not necessarily a matter of screentime. All of those characters get 1000000000000 lines of dialogue and hours upon hours of scenes. It's just that they don't really do much with the characters themselves but rather whatever their relevant personality trait is when faced with another loony plot element Jan stole from the anime or game he was going through at the timeEven Crescent is a fucking mess who bounces all over the game, is connected to half a dozen different plot threads that go nowhere particularly important from being Nastasia's mole to a Storm Chaser to being the friend of the A faggots before they got killed by Nihilego, has her identity fucked with for some reason, and most of the exposition around her is told in the most random places + some random PowerPoint slideshow in Karma files
>>59541511Crescent is a daughter of Vitus by the way.
>>59541504I have been given no reason to like or dislike him. Also it's weird how they gave him character growth after his Salamence died and then they just undid all that.>>59541482I don't mind it being this short (because idgaf about her.) Melia's scenes in comparison to the rest feel weirdly self indulgent with how much she reflects on her feelings and her predicament and such.
>>59541504The section where he is with Erin is pretty fun.
So new thread soon, feel free to leave an image for the OP, otherwise I'll just use one of the creepy Saki CGs
>>59541543This black woman whom Jan made look like a monkey hanging from a tree.
>>59541511>It's just that they don't really do much with the characters themselvesyeah sorry, that's what I meant. they're just there maybe making a couple of comments, and when they finally get to their personal arcs they barely get anything more than small stuff that gets resolved in 5 minutes. Aelita's arc seems long because of the whole time travel stuff (half of it she isn't even there because of the bad timeline), but all of that isn't even necessary for her arc, the only important stuff is all the things that happen after it: Souta fighting you and dying (he 100% had to die before Cella could use his staff), and then a rift fightI agree Crescent is a mess of plot points, she's one of the last 2 interceptors 3 if you did Percy's quest (co hosted with the mc), was part of the Storm Chasers until she went rogue, also killed one of the visorniggers we've never seen, was friends with the A gang and experienced Storm 9, was Vitus's only real child, and all of that practically means nothing because Jan never did anything with any of those things and just kept piling traits on top of her instead of delving into old ones
>>59541579>3 if you did Percy's questwut where can i start that?
>>59541556I legitimately forgot that happened to Texen.
>>59541591it's an endgame chapter 16 quest, you need to defeat all the 6 mega pokémon in the Xen base, then you go through a door in the Xen pokécenter and put them in a door with 6 notchesI recommend checking a video because some hints are too vague (to even talk to him you have to interact with a specific generator that looks identical to the 5 other generators next to it but this one is slightly different)
>>59541591It's in the final Xen base, you can do all of it once you beat the final Nim/Vitus fightYou have to get the card from the dead Xen grunt then upgrade it with computers throughout the place
>>59541613>>59541615Huh so a third interceptor just gets revealed right at the end? Also thanks for the info.
>>59541613Isn't V an interceptor too ? That would be 4
>>59541579the guy from the underground is also an interceptor
>>59541634Yeah. And of course Kaina is one too.
>>59541633it's not exactly revealed, it's actually an interceptor from the past brought back to the present, don't get your hopes up >>59541634>>59541642I forget V even exists, but I also forgot she's supposed to be an interceptor>>59541646yeah but that one is kinda iffy because of Karma's deal and her being an interceptor from a different world
>>59541653But if Percy dies, then that means we die too
>>59541657don't think that's how it works? like, in Crescent's case we share lives because Zeight sees us as the same entity just a single interceptor being co hostedif an interceptor like V were to die, no one else should be affected unless V had someone else as a co host
It's over
oh cool, didn't think they'd account for that, but I guess it makes sense now that there's a quest for an earlier mega ring. I don't think this was a thing even when we had the early mega ring password
