Game is out now, and it's pretty /u/ related.
Have some webms.
Gust better apply this gayness in future titles hopefully on an Ar Tonelico title
Seens interesting, i'll keep this game in mind. Let's just hope this is not just an elaborate yuri bait.
>>2020746
The game has been out for awhile in Japan, it's not bait.
>>2020748
That's nice. I'll definitely check it out soon, thanks for the recommendation.
These are some cute lesbians. but what is this game even? Is it an RPG? How does it play? Is it even good?
>>2020751
It's an action RPG and I heard that it's not very good at it.
Vita version never?
Game of the yearfor me at least.
>>2020759
Vita version is a "maybe," but I wouldn't count on it.
>>2020759
Fucking good.
>>2020762
>I wouldn't count on it.
I would love to play the game but I'm not buying a PS4 for just one game.
>>2020733
>>2020738
>>2020740
This is beyond adorable.
>>2020751
Speaking strictly from a gameplay perspective, it's an action RPG with Dynasty Warrior-style combat made on a typical small Japanese RPG game budget.
That's not to say it's all dogshit. Once the battle starts, magic, summons, and transformations will make pretty sparks all over the place. But it won't have that perfected feel of impact and weight that made action games like DMC or Ninja Gaiden popular and it wont have the enemy/boss types to match either.
The world is beautiful and has plenty of exotic views, but instead of the interconnected wonders found in the world of the Souls games, it's just flat maps and corridors in Nights.
>>2020773
Long story short, it's Dynasty Warriors meets Pokemon, yuri edition.
>>2020729
Boo, I got all excited but it's not available in Australia yet.
>>2020773
Is it a CUHRAYZEE game?
>>2020959
You can create an account on the North American PSN and buy the digital version. On top of getting it earlier you're probably going to get it cheaper as well.
>>2020740
She is a vampire?
>>2021048
The game calls her a half-demon, but I've gotten to a point where someone is warning her that she'll be craving blood eventually.
Is the music great? (If it's in the ar tonelico / surge concerto line it really should)
>>2021081
There's a lot of rock music in the battle tracks, so the OST is already a winner in my book.
>>2020729
Anyone ships it from play-asia? My order seems to stuck in pending because there's no stock left. I wonder if that means the sales for this is much better than expected..
>>2021093
but no specific songs? that's a bit of a shame
>>2021131
There are songs where they sing if that's what you mean
>>2021140
Yeah, I really like the whole singing thing that the AT series had going. Thanks, I'm gonna have to look at these seriously now.

>>2020740
Why'd she back out?
Seems like subtext only based on these webms...
I'll probably still play the game but is there anything canon?
>>2021314
Well if you don't mind spoilers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcOTqfabxCU
The whole game was marketed as a"tragic love" story even though there's a happy/true ending where they both survive after the kiss and in the end embrace each other.
>>2021319
>energy kiss
>reunion with no kiss
Even with the "my Lylysse," this game still ended up as ambiguous yuri. Oh well, at least the subtext is intentional and quite strong.
>>2021347
>ambiguous
>subtext
Christ you people are never ever happy. You're literally discarding blatant declarations of love and kisses like some delusional hetfag. I guess nothing short of an on-screen tribadism combined with the entire staff beating you over the head with a written official letter which states that they're dykes would satisfy you.
The kiss is not just a CPR bullshit, it's akin of those meaningful kisses that usually happen at the climax of a fairy tale. What we got here is not only a first kiss between girls in JRPGs but honestly much much more explicit romantic interactions throughout the entire game than what you usually get even with het couples in this medium. Hell the entire story is focused on just them.
I'm out for good.
>>2021262
Either a kiss or Arnice was feeling a thirst. I like how Lilysse even seems to be offering it to her.
>>2021358
So they actually did a yuri game without hiding bits in it like they did in Ciel Nosurge, nice.
>>2021319
And also they learned from Ciel Nosurge that the good ending should be better than the normal one. (The only game that did the "pain in the ass to get ending is worse" thing right was SaGa Frontier, Asselus' story and it made sense and also was one of two ways to miss the lesbian ending.)
>>2021358
I agree. The Yuri level is very high and pretty much canon. It's the same "everything is ney Yuri" crowd that says the same things like clockwork.
By the way, can someone let me know when all the cut-scenes have been ripped on Youtube? I have all the Japanese ones. But I'd like to see the English ones, as a compilation. I wish this will get a PC release. I'm not a console player. And I'm still undecided about buying a Ps4 just for this game.
>>2021438
Koei isn't going to port anything outside of Musou to PC
>>2021483
They already ported DOA and Toukiden. Sure it was shoddy but it's something at least. The problem here lies with the fact that Gust has no games on Steam despite being part of KT.
>>2021488
They ported DoA only to be the first and last port game along with Toukiden so they have an excuse not to port anymore games outside of musou, Koei only ported the really old Atelier game but that's it they never port anything else.
>>2021372
Need a doujin where Arnice has a "thirst" for Lilysse's vaginal fluids.
>>2021527
>Dude, can I buy a game and play it on your ps4?
>Sure dude, rare to see you buying a game, what is it?
>Uhh
>>2021535
>it's an action RPG where you play as a knight who kills demons in order to save a girl
Bam, you're safe.
>>2021535
Just say its for your sister
>>2021162
the ost is awesome
>>2021535
This is your chance to evangelize yuri and convert your friend to its holy light. Don't wuss out.
>>2021358
You seem to have missed the producer's answer in an interview (when the game was released in Japan) to the question are these girls lesbians or not. The answer was "it's up to your interpretation."
I do not question the likelihood of lesbianism in this game, I merely stated that this game is not unambiguously gay. Do you understand? The difference between this and, say, Shirokoi/Hakuai/Yurirei/Sonohana/etc? One is subtext, and one is text.
Subtext does not mean yuri-goggles. Subtext is a broad concept ranging from unintentional romantic friendship, to intentional-but-hidden-between-the-lines lesbianism. Since it's possible to rationally dismiss Arnice and Lilysse as just "romantic friendship," (despite being quite unlikely), they're effectively just a subtext couple. Strong subtext, borderline canon.
>>2021548
Yeah, you're playing it... for your sister.
>>2021759
So far in my experience this game is really trying the best to go beyond subtext.
They openly state they love each other, pretty much most of the NPCs support them too. When they got into a small fight the NPCs said they had a lover's quarrel and neither of them deny it.
There's even a scene on how they ended their lover's quarrel, with Arnice dancing with Lilysse, putting a ring on her finger, then leading her to their bedroom arms linked before the scene skips to them in bed together the next morning.
>>2021759
Guts make games exclusively to otakus and using the l word would alienate them. Knowing how incompetent is the Japanese videogame industry, I wouldn't be surprised that they went too far in some places but it was too late to fix it so the interview was damage control (don't worry otaku-kun, your waifus are still pure. Buy our game)
>>2021837
Not to mention the Ar Tonelico team got quite more than a couple of insane threatening letters (some at home addresses IIRC) because the world building stated that some of the Origins couldn't get pregnant and that ticked off some people with pregnancy fetishes so I can totally see them reducing their insane death threat target profile by just saying the waifus are still available, promise.
>>2021762
My sister has no arms but desperately wants to enjoy the story of these two women's love.
>>2021827
There's not enough make up sex in yuri.
>>2021837
Seeing how successful this game seems to have been, hopefully that shows they don't have to be so cagey.
>>2021759
>You seem to have missed the producer's answer in an interview (when the game was released in Japan) to the question are these girls lesbians or not. The answer was "it's up to your interpretation."
I didn't miss a thing. I was following this game from the very start and have played it the same week it got released. His commercial non-answer has no impact if you actually played the fucking game. Why would he even spoil the yuri end in an interview? The whole thing was marketed as a "tragic" love story with hints of alternative endings. Giving it away in a interview to satisfy autists would be idiotic.
You're either ignoring all the confessions and explicit romantic interactions or you're just baiting at this point.
>>2021863
HAS it been successful? I'd really like to know how well it's sold, both in Japan and the US. One would assume just from the fact it got a Western release it did alright, but I'd like to know for sure.
>>2021874
According to http://gematsu.com/2015/11/koei-tecmo-has-prominent-overseas-ip-collaboration
It sold 150k in Asia as of November last year.
Obviously we don't have any sales stats for the west, but the LE sold out incredibly quickly.
They've also already announced figures of the MC girls.
Seems like it has done pretty well for a niche, original game.
>>2021877
That's heartening news, thanks for the info.
>>2021874
My order is in pending because it's out of stock. I'll just assume that it's at least doing better than expected
Who's the cat?
>>2021863
Japan motto is "if ain't broken, don't fix it". In any case, the developers may see it as a proof that damage control help the sales. It's a half empty half full glass of water situation and nip otakus are too right wing even for Japan standards
>>2021951
The demon lord
>>2022338
Spoiler that shit
>>2022333
Yeah totally, the spoiler-dodge answer is what drove all those sales. Definitely. Not the main appeal that got marketed up the ass, nope.
>>2021859
teach her to play with her feet
yes that's a real thing.
>>2022349
>Not the main appeal that got marketed up the ass
Tits and asses?
>>2022365
No, this isn't in the league of Senran Kagura, DOA or Valkyrie Drive. YNNK promotional art was blatantly yuri. Trailers focused on their tragic relationship/fate and even in the west the wording persisted uncensored:
>"This is a love story of two star-crossed women who lived, fought, and were ultimately lost to the annals of history."
It was obvious who the targeted audience is.
It was plain fucking text at that point.
Again there is no self insertion or waifuism here. It's literally a love story focused on two characters and it was marketed as such.
Hard to believe that /u/ of all places would be filled gormless nay-saying fucks that deny the obvious and/or constantly shitpost with the "otaku" boogeymen.
>>2022380
>Hard to believe that /u/
Really?
Reeeeeaaaaaally?
>>2022380
Why are you even trying to discuss with trolls?
And don't talk shit about VD, because it has more lesbians than any other recent anime or video game.
>>2022390
Even the nips were mocking VDM's safe ending
>what's this? Pri-para?
>>2022392
You can't deny that nearly all the cast are raging lesbians.
>>2020733
was it rape?
>>2022390
I'm not talking shit about VD, I like it. I was saying that YNNK was marketed in a way that really only focused on two of them though. With those quotes and everything else. Then the game came out and it literally delivered confessions, kisses, hugs, hand-holding, sleeping every night in the same bed etc. Instead of celebrating people here first say "it can't be fucking yuri lol it's subtext" while ignoring everything that's been posted.
>Why are you even trying to discuss with trolls?
I'll be stopping now, you're right. They can't be this retarded.
>>2022391
Hey I'm jaded too, I know how it's like. But look at this >>2021347. Fag literately ignored the spoilered pic and what this anon posted >>2021827
Then this tosspot >>2022333 >>2022365 out of the fucking blue tries to be an edgy downer with baseless false shit.
>>2022398
Even if Arnice had spent the whole game fingering Lilysse, these retards would still shitpost how it's not a proof the game is actually yuri.
Anyway, I'll probably buy the game again now it's out in english. I'll wait for a price reduction, though.
>>2022398
That pic reminds me to Sirene from Devilman. In fact the ending reminds me to Devilman ending, except that it was yuri and happy instead of yaoi and beyond fucked up
OK I gotta ask. Are there jokes about Lilysse's tits being so huge?
>>2022529
Strictly window dressing
I know the target audience were horny otakus but nevertheless I wish this game had shoujoish designs
>>2022529
Proportionally massive tits represent immense power level, and is needed to save the world from the Eternal Night.
>>2022603
You know this, do you?
Have some more webms. This game is bad for my heart.
>>2022670
>Yeah...
Really? Classy writing there.
>>2022675
It's just that noise Japanese use in agreement. It's not something that really has a direct translation.
>>2022678
That's fine...ish, then. Still not good. I disabled sounds.
>>2022670
It's nice to see videogames finally depict close female friendships.
>>2022670
That seems uncomfortable.
>>2022669
>sleeping in thigh-high boots and a corset
>>2021759
By this "logic", Haruka and Michiru are subtext.
>>2022758
Imagine how sweaty her feet would be after a few days of not even taking the boots off to sleep.
>>2022603
>I know the target audience were horny otakus
Oh shut up.
>I wish this game had shoujoish designs
This is the crux of the issue here and you're taking it way too far. The designs are pretty even though they have assets. You can't lump this game with otaku fanservice because of the all aforementioned reasons that you're still ignoring.
Are you the same anon who was complaining about them gazing at the camera on some of the artwork? Be honest.
Is this a good game beyond the galpal aspect?
>>2022772
Well, yes. So were Xena and Gabrielle.
>>2022778
>galpal
What the fuck.
>>2022776
Maybe she just has shit taste. Stop replying.
>>2022780
It's a tumblr meme, I think.
>>2022782
I have a niggling feeling it's the same person. She was legitimately upset at OP's pic and pic related when it came out. Also saying how it's otaku bait despite what we've seen so far. It's disheartening if her stance is the same even after the game is out in the open and it has delivered much more than it promised.
>>2022783
There have been lots of instances of galpals on /u/. It comes from how The Daily Mail kept referring to Kristen Stewart and her girlfriend as such.
>>2022790
There's a lot of people from tumblr on /u/.
>>2022788
You probably don't understand the difference.
>>2022670
From which ending was this?
>>2022800
It's not an ending cutscene.
>>2022784
So what? As this thread and many before it have proved, some people always find something to complain and whine about.
>>2022806
As we've gotten a bunch of overt yuri things recently there's been a rash of people trying to reverse-goggle them for some reason.
>>2022806
>>2022809
I guess it's best to live and let live. Nobody is safe from shitposting.
>>2022811
That's pretty much it.
>>2022809
We shouldn't let them ruin our fun.
>>2021889
>posting hetshit on /u/
i'm pretty sure the one on the left is a trap.
>>2022796
Oh, go step on a lego, you gross shitlord.
About the kiss,I thought it was pretty romantic. Lilysse was splashed with Blue Blood so she was going to turn into a fiend. However, it wasn't like she drank the Blue Blood or anything. Arnice didn't necessary have to kiss her on the lips to draw the blood out. Anywhere would've probably been fine. Frankly, the whole scene with Lilysse coming in contact with the Blue Blood seems like just an excuse for them to kiss.
>>2022809
I think we should be allowed to criticize things, even if they are yuri. It's not a bad thing to want a different depiction of their relationship and different character designs. It's not like these overt yuri games are anything above average.
>>2023180
There's criticizing and there's plain whining.
>>2023180
We should also be able to call out blatant falsehoods, like a game with no room for self-insertion being aimed at horny otaku simply because it has tits
>>2023222
REAL lesbians only like skinny, androgynous women.
>>2023224
I thought REAL lesbians were skinny, androgynous women who loved tits?
>>2023224
I can assure you I don't look like that, nor do I like anything like that.
>>2023222
If this wasn't aimed to horny otakus, which was the target audience? It's still a very niche game
>>2023244
Yuri fans and people who like tits?
>>2023244
It's otaku. Not necessarily horny but that probably helps. For some reason there are people on /u/ who like to think "otaku" doesn't include yuri fans.
I just beat the game, ended up with the Normal ending, despite me boosting Lily's affection as much as I could, but I was only level 9 so unless there is a level 10 conversation that would be the cause of that.
Seems like NG+ will feed you the True End just playing that last bit again though.
What's happened with the First Saint and Nightlord?
>>2023224
>REAL lesbians only like fat or androgynous women.
Fixed.
>>2023375
There are three Normal endings. You get the True End after completing all the scenarios. After you see the True End, you can go to the Altar of Jorth to adjust Lily's affection to see all the endings, including a bonus ending after watching the True End. Honestly, the higher Lily's affection is, the sadder the ending.
>>2023383
It explains a bit on the 7th reminisce.
>>2023389
I don't have the game (and a console). Spoil me please.
>>2023387
Must be sad living in Burgerland.
>>2023332
Probably because we don't really have better terms to differentiate the types of groups. Yeah, "otaku" as a term includes yuri fans, but when someone talks about "otaku" they're generally talking about the kind that doesn't like yuri because they can't imagine the girls want to fuck him.
>>2023400
I think it's pretty stupid to use it like that.
So in the ending where Lilysse becomes the Nightlord, they both decide to go all 'fuck the world' and elope as demons into the Eternal Night where it's too dark to ever see them fucking, denying the world of all night, turning it into an infernal nightless wasteland as everything is scorched from the endless daylight.
>>2023415
Why would it get endless daylight? Isn't it just "no night" because people can't relax during night because of the demons.
>>2023415
By far my favorite ending. It's so selfish and romantic. Reminds me of Rebellion to some extent.
Also love their exchange:
>I have to sacrifice myself for this world because you live in it
>I don't want to live in the world without you
>alright come with me then
>what about the world though
>fuck it who cares lol
10/10
>>2023418
Because Lilysse only protects the world because Arnice is there, so Arnice must live on, so Lilysse won't fall into the darkness. But Arnice doesn't want to live in a world without Lilysse, since she only lived on for Lilysse's sake all this time, and thus rejects the world.
So Lilysse gets Arnice to elope with her, and since Arnice is no longer in the world they're supposed to protect, Lilysse couldn't give a shit about it.
"The sun will scorch everything. Dreams and sleep will vanish, and every human's heart will wither away.
"But that's okay. If you're not alive in this world, then I don't care about anything."
(few lines later)
"Okay, Lilysse. Let's fall into darkness together."
>>2023423
I feel the bonus ending is the most Rebellion-like though.
>>2023427
>mfw "take my blood and make me yours"
Yes. YES.
>>2023423
It isn't love if innocent people don't suffer for it.
>>2023389
I though the True End was the happy one?
>>2023445
>Homura
Don't you think you're mistaking her for someone else?
>>2023451
True end seems sad but the extra ending expands on it and make it happier.
>>2023498
How so?
>>2023502
It's an extra scene where Arnice comes back and embraces Lilysse before credits roll.
>>2023504
So it's not that Rebellion-esque ending?
>>2023520It looks like Arnice is the Nightlord
>>2023529Yeah but she doesn't keep Lilysee prisoner, does she?Sounds more like one of Asellus' endings from SaGa Frontier.
>>2022806
Are you new to the internet or to people?
>>2023451The True End is happy, but it is not Lily's max affection ending. Lily has 5 levels of affection. The first three affection tiers are Normal Ending 1, 2, 3. The 4th affection is the True End which expands upon Normal Ending 3 and gives them a happy end. The 5th and highest tier is the Bonus Ending, which is only unlocked after beating the True End. In the Bonus Ending, Arnice becomes the NightLord (Nightmare form and all) and tells Lilysse that she can no longer be hers, even when Lilysse says she wanted to be with her. Arnice then removes all Lilysse's memories of her and they said good bye. A year later, Lilysse ends up at the hotel with no memories. It ends with Simon asking Lily to stay and listen to his tale of two girls he knew (Arnice and Lilysse's story).
Honestly, I'm really bitter with the bonus ending. I saved it for last when getting all the endings, and I was disappointed with how it went. It felt like a step back from the True Ending, since in the True Ending, Lily remembered and reunited with Arnice at the end. My favorite is probably Normal Ending 2, where they basically said they cannot live in a world without one another and decides to just let the world burn.
>>2023647
Wait what? That's the true end isn't it? Where the bonus ending appears after said scene and afterLilysse lose memories and ends up at the hotel alone, then it skips to 1 year later where they reunite and Lilysse remembers Arnice.
>>2023651
No, it's different. There are five endings. Maybe calling it a bonus ending is a bit confusing sorry, but you can only view that ending after seeing the True End. You have to go to the Altar of Jorth and select the top option for Lily's affection and beat the final boss again.
>>2023699
But it's the same ending as the one you get when you beat the game after finishing all the epilogue scenarios, which adds an extra scene
>>2023708
You're talking about Normal Ending 3 and the True End. I'm talking about the ending you unlock AFTER seeing the True End. It's different.
>>2023756
Different anon but why the hell have an ending like that that you need to unlock like that. Isn't it usually the True End you unlock that way in games like that?
okay, the first I've ever heard about this game is from this thread. Just from reading thru this, this seems like one of the gayest things ever. How the FUCK are people unironically saying it's not gay? I really don't get it...
I know some of it is baiting and shitposting, but I can't believe /all/ of it is.
>>2023773
>How the FUCK are people unironically saying it's not gay?
The answer is obviously that these people haven't played the game.
>>2023776
Yeah, probably, but I've not played the game either and I can see it's gayer than rainbow coloured unicorns...
Nightlord sure got a bad rap for no reason. He was just content with chilling out but some girl was trying to bootycall him. Turns out she was a gold-digger and fucked his shit up for his power.He's even nice enough to let Arnice do her thing and does everything he can to make Arnice and Lilysse love each other. For an "evil" demon lord he's a nice guy.
>>2023773
The people who are serious are trying to say that it's not 100% explicit with a dramatic love confession followed by a full blown make out
BUT, it is obvious enough for anyone with 1/4 of a brain or that isn't in denial
>>2023778
>image
Well that's gay. Think this will get any fanworks?
>>2023761
Potential for a sequel perhaps? Where Lilysse sets out to regain her memory of Arnice, armed with her exploding cupcakes as weapons.
>>2023786
>they don't kiss
>it wasn't a real kiss
These are legit complaints against any series. The whole CPR/Energy Transfer/Ritual kiss thing is ridiculous and the less we see them the better..
>>2023786
That's really sad...
And yes, that'd be cool if it got a sequel with a happy end.
>>2023780
>BUT, it is obvious enough for anyone with 1/4 of a brain or that isn't in denial
"Obvious enough" means it's still subtext. Really strong subtext perhaps, but still subtext. Some people want more than that and I can understand that, at the very least.
>>2023786
Well the two "good" endings don't leave room for another sequel, since everything is resolved and they're togetheralbeit Arnice is the Nightlord in one. I guess it matters which one you would think is the "true" ending, not just the happy one.
>>2023795
So, the true ending is a bad ending in this game, right?
If that's the case, I don't think I want to waste my time with it.
>>2023796
No? It's just that one is"Final boss defeated wew lets go home and be happy the end sunshine, butterflies, and rainbows,"while the other is"Arnice makes Lillysse forget about her, but Lilysse comes back to the island a year later with no memories and an ache in her heart. She gets attacked by the Dragon again but Arnice shows up as the Nightlord and saves her. Lilysse is flooded (with memories) and call out to Arnice, runs toward her and they hug. 'Tadaima Lilysse.'"
Considering all the work and time that goes into that second one, I'd say it's the true end. You also get to learn about a being that had been hinted about the entire game and Chris.
>>2023800
>'Tadaima Lilysse.';_;
>>2023800
Those aren't the true ending.
>>2023802
You need a sequel to determine which ending is the true one.
>>2023805
The true ending is the one that gets unlocked after you cleared everything else.
>>2023802
None of the endings are labeled as true. There are just 5 endings. I would consider "true" ending the one that requires the most effort and ends up with the happiest result. Its also has it's own trophy.
>>2023806
No, that's the omake ending. The true end comes before that.
>>2023811
>that's the omake ending.
If it's labeled as such. Otherwise that's the true ending.
>>2023807
>Its also has it's own trophy.
If there's any real qualifier as a hint for a true end, it's that until the sequel decides to fuck with everything.
>>2023815
inb4 "they're all true" because the hinting at cycles was real so all of it happened individually.
>>2023816
I'd believe it, considering time is convoluted.
Still won't stop me from believing happy true end is the canon timeline.
>>2023807
The ending with the trophy is the "TRUE" ending I'm talking about. You don't need to watch this ending to change Lilysse's affection to see the other ending which requires max affection in the altar. This is the definite end that comes after everything else is finished.
>>2023821
>ending which requires max affection in the altar.
Isn't this one the true ending?
>>2023825
No, that's the Omake ending.
The True End is second to max affection.
>>2023826
>No, that's the Omake ending.
Is it labelled as omake?
>The True End is second to max affection.
That doesn't make much sense.
>>2023825
You get the true end after you've completed all sub-scenarios. Affection is irrelevant for since you get it automatically.
This ending unlocks the ability to change the affection too.
>>2023827
>>2023833
>That doesn't make sense.
Have you even played the damn game?
It's labeled in every single walkthrough as such, but you guys probably won't be convinced (for whatever reason) unless someone buys the official guide themselves and posts screenshots.
Just because 良すぎるかも... is above 最高だよ doesn't mean that it's necessarily better.
>>2023838
>Just because 良すぎるかも... is above 最高だよ doesn't mean that it's necessarily better.
It does sound like it's better.
>>2023838
>Have you even played the damn game?
I plan on doing so once the game's price is down a bit. No way am I gonna pay 60 bucks for ANY game.
>>2023854
I paid full price for FFXIII and I regret nothing desu.I'm also considering picking up a second hand PS4 for this and then selling it on.
>>2023843
Gotta admit the omake ending does sound a little bit cooler, especially with that last scene. Gives me Kannazuki vibes with a little bit of Rebellion and SaGa Frontier.
>>2023843
How is "our relationship might be too good..." better than "our relationship is the best"?
The first one expresses insecurity and doubts while the second one makes the MC appear a whole lot more confident about their relationship.
That's probably why the extra ending didn't have a happy end.
>>2023858
I just refuse paying full price because I'm too old to not think about the price-performance ration I'm getting out of any game.. Hell I'm not getting the new Final Fantasy at full price either no matter how good it might turn out to be.
Call me cheap but that way I experience a lot less buyers remorse too.
>>2023868
I wanted to get into the fandom on the ground floor, I generally wait a year or two or buy second hand as well.Imagine my disappointment when everyone shipped Lightning/Fang and I was a Fanille fag.New FF looks like a total sausage fest so I don't think I'll bother with it either.
>>2023872
Farroncest is where it's at.
>New FF looks like a total sausage fest so I don't think I'll bother with it either.
Well there IS Cidney, Luna and Luna's little handmaiden chick...
But I don't buy a game purely on /u/ content either, so I don't really care if it's a sausage fest or not, as long as the gameplay and story is decent Noctis can screw Ignis all he wants.
>>2023876
>Ignis
>not druggy CloudDon't forget about the dragoon lady.
That aside, Farroncest and Fanille were both overshadowed by the kind of generic Lightning/Fang stuff. Farroncest moreso.
If it's any consolation the demo for XV was pretty decent for showing the combat. Maybe not so much about the rest of the game outside of the weather and time cycle.
>>2023876
>Farroncest is where it's at.
I only got into it recently, but you're not wrong.
I wouldn't say I buy purely on /u/ content, but I don't generally like male FF characters enough to play a game dominated by them. My media consumption in general is driven by how many female characters it features.
>>2023882
Ignis is all "your highness" and his hypercompetent manservant that can also cook. I'd be surprised if they don't get the most homo art out of them all.
>spoiler
Oh, she's actually still in the game from when it was Versus?
Cool.
>Farroncest moreso
The lot of being basically canon I guess?
>>2023878
That's some really strange song names right here.
>>2023878
Ah yes, the true ending is the only ending which plays the duet at the end too.
>>2023888
I can appreciate a little bit of bromance actually, and it seems XV will be pretty much THE bro game. At least it means the obvious romance with Luna will be a backburner, which is good because Final Fantasy main romances have been terrible more often than not.
>>2023889
IxN will definitely get some but I'd be willing to place my bets on Gladio getting the most since he seems to fit so well.
Yeah dragoon lady is still in, not real sure if she dies or not yet but I would love to see her molesting Luna or something later int he game.Anything would be better than the potential /ss/ tripe from her and Noctis.
>>2023882
Fanille was such fucking wasted potential. We'll probably never see another FF lady who perfectly combined toughness and beauty like Fang again.
If the FF13 trilogy had been better games, they would have been a lot more popular I'm sure.
Someone please answer >>2023383
>>2023888
Have you played Digimon Cyber Sleuth?
>>2023962IIRC the First Saint took demon's blood and acted as the Nightlord everyone knows, while the real Nightlord is actually pretty chill and acted as Arnice's guide in the form of the black cat.
>>2023962The Saint sought to put an end to humanity fighting and wanted something to unite the world with. So she summoned the Nightlord to unite humanity in battle against him.The Nightlord was lazy though and told the Saint to fuck off he because doesn't want to deal with her shit. The Saint responded by killing him and consumed his blood, to become the new Nightlord.The Saint rained Blue Blood down on the world to create the fiends to give humanity an enemy to fight together.The Saint though cannot fully defeat the corruption of the Blue Blood, and thus she needs a new body every decade or so. Since the Saint is also the head of the Curia as the Pope, she organizes the Priestess sacrifices, aided by her Holy Knight, Corrine. These Priestess become new vessels for the Saint.The Nightlord (cat) throws a wrench in the Saint's workings by helping Arnice and Lily deepen their relationship, knowing that Arnice is the only one alive who can handle his power. In the beginning of the game he gives her his sword to fight with.
>>2023969I really like the concepts in the game.
Arnice, the archtype deviantart OC edgelord character design is just a cute girl in love. She's upfront and blunt, always quick to answer "no" when one of the guys starts bugging her. The Nightlord is just a guy who was relaxing in his realm unbothered by anything until some bitch summoned and killed him, and his only motivation after that was putting her in her place. He's even nice enough to let Arnice take his power to get the job done, since he's just stuck as a cat.
>>2023971
>>2023972As the Servans level up they will get a conversation with the Cat at a certain level where they talk about how much they love helping Arnice and Lilysse, and the Cat will scold some of the sillier lazy ones like the spider. Nightlord really is a bro who wants to see these two girls who were fucked by destiny get their happy ending.
There are some things that still kind of bug me that seem like they were left unanswered, at least I think they were.
>The Black Book that you do a quest to fix in the early story, it get stolen and then we never really learn about who stole it. The two guys both suggest that Lilysse might have taken the book and hid it in the safe, but later when the safe is opened it just has the skull in it.
>The notion that either Alucard or Lloyd is a traitor, never seems to get resolved.
>Chris feels kind of tacked on since she doesn't really offer much to the main story besides being a signpost, and her story is pretty much entirely contained in the extra scenarios which doesn't really tie into the main plot.
>>2024007
Maybe the cat ate it.
>>2024007
I feel the second point may have been meant as some kind of misdirection, I dunno
I'm of two minds about the vagueness in the story. It works pretty well in not letting the plot become bloated with unnecessary details, but there was definitely room for more
>>2024043
>more DLC then
That implies we have some already. All there is is the Gust-chan Servan from the preorders.
>>2024043
Was it even left open for a sequel?
>>2023976
>no expression animations
Aw, that's sad. And creepy.
Thanks for all the info everyone but just a reminder to those complaining about yuri content. This is obvious yuri and a definitely a step in the right direction. Even though I don't own a PS 4 this will give me a chance to play VD and SK in better quality. Whenever we get a game that supports yuri we should support it too. The more Japan realises there is money to be made in yuri games the more that will be made its just typical capitalism. Sorry to everyone else for pointing out the obvious.
>>2024246
That's why I bought the LE even though there's nothing in the LE really worth the price.
>>2024248
That poster is pretty good though, and huge.
>>2024255
The poster was great. The music is really good so having the OST is quite nice too. The artbook feels lacking though.
>>2024261
The OST is pretty lacking too, since it doesn't include everything. I wonder if there's a nice collection if the fill one rhTs not YouTube.
But the thing I was bummed about the most was we didn't get any copy of those two "lewd" arts, OP being one.

Maybe M.A.O is involved in some of them and they can't get the license for that?
>>2022776
I love that image cause the thumbnail always makes me think Arnice is pregnant with Lily's yuribaby
>>2025202
You should rather take a look at Lilysee's left hand and the ring she wears there.
>>2025440
Which is funny because Arnice puts the right on her right hand index/middle finger.
>>2025443
Maybe Lilysee decided she wants to be married to Arnice and just put it there herself one day.
>>2024261
What made her say this?
>>2025592
Lloyd was trying to say that Arnice wasn't sleeping at night, but the way he said it made it sound like he meant Arnice was staying awake because of him.
>>2024246
/v/ would be mad at you for supporting waifuism and therefore preventing more mature games for mature audience such as themselves to be made.
But then, /v/ is mad at everything.

I hope you stood up straight and looked the postal worker straight in the eye.
Reminds me of the time I bought Girlfriends at the bookstore. The cashier, an older gentlemen, said before looking closely at my purchase, "I don't know where they get the names of some of these manga. Don't make any sense." I simply smile and wait. Upon a closer inspection of the covers, he says, somewhat sheepishly, "...well, this one's exactly what it sounds like!" "Exactly," I reply with conviction.
>>2023807
The commentary on the OST tracks in the extra menu you unlock after you've cleared teh game once calls the ending you get after clearing the last chapter fully (affection level 4 ending after you've unlocked affection adjustement) the "true" ending, while all the other endings are "normal" endings.
>>2027567
You should experience it from the other side. I work in a comic book store and sold more manga than I can count and sometimes I juct can't help but chuckle at some of the names.
>>2027567
I feel like I've read this exact same post before...
>>2027579
Which ending is that?
>>2027635
You most likely have, because I've told this story here before.
