What the hell does the butterfly ring do other than slowly kill me
Welp
This came out much worse than expected
Is there any way to get my wizard to be useful? I've only just unlocked the first three dungeons but this bitch is out of mana within 4 fights of doing anything.
Does she ever get the ability to regain mana? Do I have to multiclass her into a dancer for the ability to attack or something? I'm dumb pls assist.
>>340929375
The fuck's wrong with the brightness in the first portrait and those cuts at the sides
>>340929445
Just pump him with lots of int, multiclass into cleric to get a skill that regens mana when you walk around.
This some sorta Darkest Dungeon kind of game?
How to progress from the magic stone in Shadow Palace? There is a locked door near it and when I go into the dark area through the open door, it just leads into a bunch of portals that prevent me from getting anywhere.
Also what to do about that demon on the first floor, the one that Kyo killed? Killing it doesn't seem to do shit.
>>340930185
Search for hidden doors
Leave and go in the same place Kyo killed it, choose first option
Help me please lads, I need better matching images.
>>340930395
I did choose the first option, it led to a fight that I won but it's still alive and not shown as "slayed" in the book
>>340928498
No upgraded version - no buy.
>>340930185
The demon is a Wizardry reference, a monster to kill over and over for EXP.
>>340929969
It's flashing because it's the selected character.
>>340928896
nothing its shit, use heal rings
I think it gives you +! OL and ID but thats it
>>340931496
>using shit artstyle
perfect meme image
>>340930680
The upgraded version isn't even out nor is it even coming to PC let alone leaving japan.
>>340932023
The upgraded version is just 10 new artwork for portraits
>>340932230
Most of them are pretty bad and done by commissioned artists. There are like 4 actually good ones done by the original artist and you can find them with google easily enough.
Where do I go in the mines? I'm guessing I have to ambush with the fire orb I got, but I don't know which spot.
>>340932597
Ask the dude who told you to get the fire orb
>>340930627
I think I have some things that might match. You looking for knights?
>>340932840
This might work too.
>>340930627
Download and see which you like
https://mega.nz/#!tQY2FbSL!x3ukFONHJjnhWb4YGMq48pi7Xq_jkdi73AfVdw8foPg
Then make your portraits. All the pics are already transparent
>>340932840
>>340932992
They look good but I want Dark Souls portraits, Sorry I should've specified
https://mega.nz/#!XkI3zayQ!yDLcPIr73lXYvbKxNIM1ks29R2Z9tCdOAGjtK2EoG6k
working on a collection of portraits to post in these threads. This is what I have so far, gonna add the terra battle pics (even though they're not properly resized yet) to future uploads as well. If you guys have any stuff that's really consistent in art style post it so I can add it.
When does the shop update again? There is fuck all for sale
>>340934857
They may not be properly sized but their stock resolutions are almost the same so you wont lose quality by resizing much and they are all faded at the bottom and transparent already.
>>340934857
This one is the closest I have to the game's art style. I think I have a few others that I haven't gotten around to cropping yet because it's a pain in the ass.
>>340930112
Kind of?
It's like Wizardry.
What would be some great artists for some portraits be?
I thought about Ideolo so far. Or miwol, yellow duckling, Hammer or Zounose.
Any idea guys?
>>340936734
I usually just browse and see what fits. Usually the artists I like don't do easy to crop portrait pictures.
>>340936734
as109
>>340935131
That's exactly why I'm adding it lol.
>>340936990
>porn
>dat ending
What the fuck just happened?
Any must have divinity abilities that aren't in Riu's tree?
I want to give the cripple mech girl all my crystals.
but all the dark skills suck dick
;_; why does that creepy fucking light elf have all the good shit
>>340939006
The only dark skill that sucks is the All Out Attack, rest is pretty gr8
>>340939006
Yeah the elf has the best, school girl is 2nd best she still kinda sucks and best girl bane girl vader mask girl is the best girl but has only shit skills
oh well
>>340939006
The only necessary light skill is spirit wall
The only required skills for neutral is sky dragon and sword bond
When does the shop update? It hasnt restocked in ages.
Is making my lvl14 wizard a cleric good? Going against immortals in the mines and under the lake now.
What about fighters and knights and ninjas? I dont intend to do multiple runs so just 1 or class switches.
>>340939646
Never
Yes
Yes
Does luck influence how good/rare an item drop is? If so does it matter who has the luck? Or does it combine all party members luck?
What does the art style option actually change?
>>340940463
Portraits for all NPCs and event CGs
>>340940225
It's based on MCs level and what type of monsters you fight
Should my ninja go dancer? She is level 14
woah how do i change to obnoxious anime npc art
>>340941708
If you want unlimited weapon reach then yes
>be dancer ninja
>ninja has 2 daggers equipped
>each does 25x3
>1 attack is 6 hits
>use dancer skill tri step
>attack 3 times
Does this mean I attack 18 times? Each hand 3 times for 3 attacks each time?
>>340941924
The default should be the regular more western style art. Check on the title screen options.
What does rain look like in the anime version? Can anybody post a pic.
I get a crash shortly after running the game(after the muramasa whatever logo)
Any fixes/happened to anyone else?
Running on W7
>>340942879
Run as admin
If you cant save, create a SAVEDATA folder, if you cant find picturegate folder for custom portraits, make one, all caps.
>>340942597
Yes you get 18 attacks.
>>340943964
Damn, thats amazing. Star step would give me 30 attacks..
I wonder if the DPS would be greater than an assassination..
Is it better than Etrian Odyssey?
>>340944534
For me, due to the art, yes. The mechanics may feel a bit more janky
>beat the spider boss
>another boss right after
Are you fucking shitting me? It casts bullshit like requiem too and the dragon just hit my tank for 600 damage.
is there a penalty for dualwielding aside from not getting to wear a shield?
My fighter has been using the newbie axe until now which was 45x1 but I have the option of switching to a 9x5 katar + a 6x5 katar.
Looks like a good game. Weird with the low res texts while walking but the high res sprites
>>340945528
Dual wield penalty
>be wizard
>become cleric lvl 7
>says I know cure
>go into battle
>no cure, just wizard spells
what
>>340929375
This UI looks cluttered and awful. Why would you do this?
>>340946092
Change the tab in your spells.
>>340946156
oh.. i knew that..f-faggot..i was just testing you niggers..
What is the difference between red and blue butterflies? This blue on in the mines isnt affect by magic or holy weapon. What the hell?
>>340929375
If you fix the sizes it will look great.
Where do I put the custom portraits?
Does rui ever gets rapes?
>>340934857
Um, I'm downloading the game at the moment what does this have to do with the game? Appreciate it if you do answer!
>>340949020
You can have custom portraits for your characters
Marileth did nothing wrong.
Alm did everything wrong.
Where the fuck do I get the liver for this faggot orc chief? Is it past mumic whos being a cocksucker and blocking me with my zero items?
>>340950192
You need magic eyes and then you go in the secret area in the forest
>>340949642
Marileth is literally worse girl.
Also Kyo did nothing wrong.
>>340929375
>that art
Wait a moment, that's the same artist as Granblue Fantasy?
I'm kind of bored, but I'm not sure if I'm $30 bored
about how long is this game?
>barely sold on PC
>over 500k pirated downloads
>port cost over 3 million dollars
T-thanks PC.
>>340951729
>>port cost over 3 million dollars
what
>>340951729
blame nisa for overpricing the game
>>340951534
Around 50 hours for the storyline. Idk about the post game content.
Is there any way to really shit the bed on who I give blood crystals to?
I wanna feed em to bane but damn if spirit wall doesn't look broke or almost necessary.
>>340951729
>giving money to NISA
>>340952595
Get one level of spirit wall
>>340951729
Whoever translated this is an illiterate monkey. I'm not paying for this shit.
Repostan
Made some portraits from Visual Novel characters. There are 9. If you want 'em, go nuts. I will probably work on some more consistent sets of characters, but for now I just threw together some waifu shit.

>anon says it's a 50 hour long game
>but 40 hours of it is mindlessly farming butterflies for XP and gear
ehhh
>>340953084
More big titty sloots please
>>340946814
Blue is Water element. They're all Spirit-types but as butterflies they innately have huge defensive power.
Also the yellow one (Mjolni) has insane evasion, I don't think I've ever landed a hit on one.
>>340950192
Mumic doesn't do shit as long as you don't attack him.
>>340951239
He's using custom portraits from GBF
>>340952602
It's worth it to give money to NISA. Usually I wouldn't
>>340952595
Personally I suggest Spirit Wall 2 for passive -25% magic damage recieved.
Sword Bond 2 as soon as possible for -30% phys damage recieved.
And Light Veil for passive 30% Max HP.
Just rerolled a 4 fighter/1 knight/1 cleric party and they are tearing through the early game. I just auto combat through the forest.
>>340954739
That won't last
>>340955231
They'll last until 13.
>>340953220
Have you never played dungeon crawlers?
What is a good spot to farm spears in silver chests?
Some anon requested Der Furrer so here is it. Im not going to post the whole set as it requires to resize and that is really easy to do anyway. Im working on Himler and some Gestapo units too.
>>340959427
Now I can spam genocide

Ghost Town Spider Nest
Good game? Sell me on it, /v/
>>340965872
Where is the ghost town? What area is the spider nest?
Im at the part where I can pick to go into the mines, the lake, or under the metal area (the first area of the game when you just start out)
>>340970042
It's too early for you to get there then.
>>340971305
Isnt ghost town the new unlocked place in the mausoleum of metal you get along with going under the lake and into the mines?
>>340966163
30-50 hour campaign
3 different endings
dungeon crawler
tons of portraits to use for characters
can use your own
good music
How bullshit is this game? What about the grind
>>340975738
Grindy like every other jap rpg style game. Just now with perma death for characters, monsters attack in group up to 50, they are all over leveled, money and shops are useless, etc.
I used a custom portrait and there's no load icon. What did I fuck up?
what's the infinite money cheat?
>>340951729
>port
It was originally a PC game.
>>340953084
>Middle-right
When the fuck is this game getting translated? MG localise half their other games and not that.
>>340979247
Nothing, they just didn't bother implementing that.
>>340928498
>Make the same thread as last time with the review shit and store link
>Don't post the portrait pastebin or tell people to read the manual
Good job, retard.
Updated pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/L5xC1JVC
>barely played because scouring the internet for as similar as possibile artwork/varied classes
>>340979938
Use cheat engine
Money is useless anyway
i cant fuckin get any of the lineage types to spawn in the lake
i feel like Ive genocided the entire race of those merfuck
>>340986034
oh also what do i need to do to get that teleport thing in the lake to work, says i need something
Are people really having trouble with the TUTORIAL HYDRA of all things?
You literally just defend and attack with Riu, only attacking the big Hydra since it's the only thing that can do significant damage to your MC.
I've noticed that the Hydra never attacks until all of its babies are dead, too.
>>340986034
>>340986429
Kill other lineage types and progress the story
That particular boss only spawns at depth 1000
>>340986034
It spawns at the ambush points at the bottom of the lake. You need to have finished the quests in the fire place.
>>340986616
>>340986619
ty anons
>>340928498
What is this? Etrian Odyssey with extra autism?
So I cheated to level 99 once I got to the White palace post-game
The boss there can still inflict around 4000 damage even to a lv 99 knight with over 300 defense and 33 vit
AND IT ONLY GETS HARDER FROM THERE
>8 classes
>no advanced classes
Boring.
ugh for some reason it won't load my portraits unless they're in BMP format, but i can't remove transparency with bmp
what am I doing wrong? I changed the extension thing from the title menu and it keeps failing, I can only load them when already inside the game selecting custom portraits.
>>340988085git gud
This or Sakura Dungeon?
>>340990261
>>340990261
>>340988085
It's more about combining skillsets anyway, so you get someone who can punch a boss 56 times every turn from the backrow.
>12 hours of making custom portraits
>1 hour actual gameplay
Autism at it's finest.
