I always make this mistake too.
I have a question instead. Why do Divinities have different descriptions depending on where you're checking them?
And which are true?
>>340551365
Not sure, but it seems like it's all the above.

>>340550940
Haha I can't believe someone used my screenshot.
is this game worth a pirate?
or is it just staring at still pictures?
>>340554315
just play it my man
it's a really good dungeon crawler game
Can I actually put whatever funny image I want as a party member or nah
This is a buy or no buy scenario here, so help me out
>>340554398
so its just staring at pictures, huh
Kinda don't know where to go really. Should I focus on one area at a time or do a little bit of each.
End up just wondering around endlessly going back to town after 2-3 enemies and move to a different area.
>>340554448
Yes you can, you can have up to 16 custom portraits for your characters.
>>340554448
Yes.
I'm in the middle of making a full animeme party, problem is finding transparent pngs of characters since I suck at making them myself.
>>340550940
Are custom portraits exclusive to the PC version, or can I do this on the Vita version too?
>>340554821
>>340554554
Neat.
Time to open up Paint.net and my favourite pepes
Wasn't there another dungeon crawler with custom portraits on the PSP? I can't remember the name.
>>340554547
You should focus on the slums and the white forest first.
If you think you are too weak, farm the ambushes zone for a while and try to get better equipement.
>>340554923
Only on PC it seems.
>>340554821
whom is the one in middle right?
>>340555184
all of those are default portraits that come in-game except megumin on the far right
the character art of granblue fantasy will probably look great with this game
>>340555441
yeah just looked it up, might do a few portraits to round out my roster
>>340555441
You're a genius
I'll grab some of them

I have a feeling most people playing this right now is baby's first Dungeon Crawler. It's pretty awful mechanics wise and I dropped it after an hour.
>>340558469
Im at that exact same part and it makes me mad as fuck. This is the kind of shit that was annoying in demon gaze but intolerable in this game with the life points and permadeath.
If you are going to make enemies deliver instakill attacks , have gear/spells that prevent them near the place, even if they have horrid stats or even increase the damage sustained.
Farming is fun, fun, FUN!

Fuck this game controls. Is there a way to customize them?
Can anyone link to how to place custom portraits? i tried googling but it was just threads about wanting custom portraits
>>340560496
There is an archer boss near that place. Hug the wall to the right instead of following the narrow pathway that is an obvious trap.
>>340560496
Boy, it's like you didn't take 3 steps forward when that shit started.
Anyone made transparent versions of the Tactics Ogre character art yet?

It was either that or using Pepes with Wojak as the MC.
>>340562013
Depends on what you're into
If you like grim, serious girls who talk in flowery faux-medieval language, then sure
>>340562170
No, because you're dull enough you think using TV characters, your own face, and memes is entertaining.

>>340562579
I'm not that guy, but there are various groups of mobs that summon reinforcements. If you go in with a team with good sustain, then it's probably possible to just farm them endlessly. I guess he's found a particular mob that gives good rewards, and is just going in with a party of two heroes that keep each other alive.
>>340562870
Honestly i couldn't think of any live action characters that have something related to healing.
I just picture him being an asshole and only healing you when you have only 2 hp left.
About to start rolling my team. What stats does a Samurai or a Ranger want? STR and AGI?
If you give Alm blood crystals will she take off her mask for you?
>>340563230
Samurai requires 25 AGI for dual wield with no penalty
Ranger gets absurd hit with high AGI
>>340562726
I believe so
>>340562579
>>340563042
Slums, Valley of the Ruined.
Go to an organge enemy until it's a group with Thieves.
Thieves have an ability to summon one more of them once.
Basically you kill all enemies but a single Thief, wait until he summons another, then kill him, defend until the new one summons another etc
It's great due to how fast turbo battle is and the fact the game auto targets the old summoner thief for you .
Don't forget to use Holy Light 1 Divinity at the beginning so you won't even lose HP.
I chose to go with 2 members instead of just the main character because Thieves sometimes confuse you which can lead to your death if you are alone and unlucky. With 2 members it's pretty easy though, and most times Thieves will spam their Call Ally pretty quick.
It's literally perfect.
>>340564021
Do they even give good exp?
What level are you?
>>340563230
AGI is probably one of the nicer stats for combat classes since it helps you hit, which is good for damage, and it helps you dodge, which is good for defense.
My samurai catgirl used that 'bonus attack if you dodge' attack on the samurai boss which prompted a counter attack which she dodged which prompted her counter attack which got countered, dodged and countered, which got countered so I got another counter which got countered and another counter with got countered and then he hit her and splatted her in one shot. Fun times.
>>340564362
It's not so much that they give good exp but that you just sit there instant-autoing with rusty daggers in hand and they have no abilities that really do much to you and so you sit there with the regen divinity on healing their puny damage forever and killing piles of them while you watch anime. These kinds of endless reinforcement fights are also used in Elminage and Etrian and are abused in similar fashion, as long as you don't kill so fast you end the fight, and have an ability or alternate weapon set set up so that when you get tired allows you to end the fight, you can get a shitload of exp just tapping auto battle.
So what's the deal with Skills? when i level up they show up but i can't equip them, the only ones that use their skills are my wizard and my cleric.
>>340550940
Wait, is this game actually good, even if you don't count the custom character thingy?
>>340564949
Actually, yes
It's simply a solid dungeon crawler
>>340564949
If you have a hard-on for dungeon crawlers in general you might like it. If you hate dungeon crawlers or grinding or animu artstyle then you should probably give it a pass. It's similar in feel to games like Elminage, Operation Abyss, and Demon Gaze.

Don't support the cancer you dumbasses.
Hey all, I'm looking for art that look well enough with type A (Westernish style) at least well enough so as not co clash (See pic). I plan to compile into one pack on mega. If you have any transparencies that would work for such a pack please dump them.

I didn't even consider Artbook scans when I was making my initial sweep for a potential team. Time to go make transparencies forMonster Hunterarmor sets while I wait for this game to finish downloading.

Well, the transparent TO portraits are done.
Should I dump, or gallery?
>>340566076
Pros:
>Good combat mechanics
>Lots of char customisation
>Decent music
>Good difficulty curve
>Superb art, also you can use custom portraits
Cons:
>Very slow leveling
>Not enough complexity
>Needs more diverse enemies
Wich stats should i focus on each class? wizard and cleric are pretty straightforward,but how about the others?
>>340565537
Maybe the characters from dragon's crown fit the artstyle.

>>340567384
by the way these are the portraits ripped from the art of the new vita version.
>>340567005
Warrior should be a mix of STR>VIT>AGI
Samurai should be AGI>STR>VIT
Knight should be VIT>STR>AGI
Archer STR>AGI with some VIT from time to time
Not sure for ninja and dancer
>>340567005
Knight is mostly VIT, Ninja Samurai Ranger is mostly AGI, Dancer is AGI and LUCK I think? Fighter will probably be STR/VIT with AGI to help hit things, if things aren't working out you can always class change if your Migmy Fighter isn't cutting it. Even a handful of early level skills can be useful if you move them to a class that appreciates them.
>>340567543
Run into the dead ends already, christ dude.
What's the point of the sex parameter?
It doesn't seems to change a thing and yet it's locked.
>>340567543
The way Rockbell's Eye works is kind of dumb, there is an area earlier that should have been suspicious but you couldn't pass through the thick brush, along with others throughout the area, just go to those spots and move forward into the wall and you'll automatically move through once you have the eye.
>>340567605
>>340567612

Anyone know a place to easily find transparent pictures? Would I be able to do it on one of the booru's?
>>340567760
These games sometimes have equipment that are gender locked, like the Sword of the Rightful King which is male only because sexism, or the Thong of Evasive Bellydancing which would slay all eyes that laid upon it if it was equipped by a male, but so far I'd say the most it might be changing is some NPC dialogue for the Main Character?
>>340562343
damn, these look pretty good, not too animey-ish but can fit with the A art style. got a link?
>>340558469
>>340558865
Spam Spirit Wall. Criticals count as a status effect.
Some of these are much better quality than others
A lot of the class portraits simply haven't been uploaded in a decent resolution, and I'm not going to destroy my copy of the book to get good scans just for this
I'll update it if I find any more
>>340568078
equipment makes sense, but i don't think the dialogue changes depending on gender, since NPCs just refer to you as 'they' or 'them'
>>340564938
You don't have to equip them because they're passive skills, physical damage classes learn their first active skills at 5/6. Those skill slots are for using skills from a different class.
Here they are
>>340568419
It's a JP game and all three of the whoeverwhatsits you deliver the crystal thingamadoos to for Morale upgrades are female, so I'm guessing it likely ties into dialogue with those three.

>>340571062
You see, the younger the characters are, the more Life Points they have (1-3) When a character is killed, he loses a life point. Reviving the character does NOT restore the life point, for that, you must hospitalize said character for a long, long time, seven days or so. If a character loses all his Life Points, the he vanish permanently.
The younger a character is, the more LP he got (3) while older ones have less (1) but younger characters have less spare bonus points (3) meanwhile older ones have more (9).
The main character is immune to permadeath, so making him old is a good idea to get all those extra bonus points without penalty, and with a good re-roll, you might get up to 20 or more bonus points.
Did you guys accept the request from the white leader lady from the slum ruins, or no?
Is the reward worth it? Does it affect story by teaming up with bandits for a while?
>>340571062
the younger you are the more life points (LP) you have
let's say you pick someone 20 years old - you'll have around 3/3 LP
which means you can go down 3 times before getting permanently killed
so when you die twice (1/3 LP) you should go back to your base -> revive/recover -> recover life point or the next time you go down you'll go down permanently and lose the character
the main character being the chosen one isn't affected by this and can die as many times as you want - but you'll have to pay for his revival though even if you don't have enough money - so waste all your money before doing it so it becomes free
The wyvern you fight after the plane crashes is kicking my shit in.
Tips?
>>340571624
>>340571719
Alright, thank you anons.
>>340571062
1-20 : 3LP
20-60: 2LP
60+ 1LP
You can get more initial stats the older you are.
If you die you lose one LP, you then need to revive (takes about a day). You can recover the lost LP (takes 6+ days). Lose all LP and the character is permadead. It can't happen with MC for gameplay purposes I guess, so having 3 LP is a waste because you never disappear.
I lost 1LP on 3 of my characters early on and can't force myself to just grind battles until 6 days pass ingame, so now if a character dies I just reload a save because fuck that shit.
Quick question. Since you can choose whatever Talent you want does Race affect anything besides base stats?

shopping your face over the characters in this game is on-par with those awkward children's videos that parents would buy their kids that were just their child's smiling portrait glued over a cartoon character's head.
Just as cringeworthy and likely to create bad memories down the line.

Whenever you switch classes, your level gets halved and rounded down. Any skills from your previous class are now equippable to the new class using the skill slots.

Putting aside that there's nothing for them to censor in the game, why the hell is the translation so bad? It isn't like NISA's usual rewrite bullshit, this game reads like it's an ESL job.
I'm gonna have to redo these since I didn't know about the transparency shit or that putting them in the actual box would make them get cut off at the top and expand past the bottom. What a poor layout.
Shame I figured it'd be fine and I wouldn't need to save the original transparencies I made.
How the fuck do you get to the Underground Ghost Town again? That's the only thing left I have to do before I get more story. It's not on my available places to travel.

Gameplay is not anything too special, if you like hunting and grinding treasure spots for neat bits of gear and mapping out unexplored areas while poking around through the world, the game lets you do that, I think the biggest downers that I can see is the limited amount of class changes that you can do, forcing you to consider optimizing, and the way death makes you have to wait to rest back your stamina or risk perma-death.
It's possible that these become non issues or at least less painful later in the game though. Not gonna count on it however.

Good planning will usually avoid any messes, in my experience. I've put 50 hours into the Vita version and never lost anybody, rolling with an entire group of 1 LP characters. I've only ever had somebody go down and been forced to do a load (and lose about an hour of progress at worst) about three times and I'm nearly at the final stage of the game. Intelligent point investment and proper gear maintenance will look out for you 99% of the time. The 1% is when you go up against a new Lineage you don't know the full capability of and get surprised during your first two turns while laying down Divinities or the like. For everything else, there's Flash Escape except in very rare cases.
Assume everything is dangerous the first time you encounter it and pay close attention to its capabilities to avoid cheap deaths.
Word of advice on that note; Arch-Demons/Lesser Demons do not fuck around and are infinitely more dangerous than anything else in Mausoleum of Storms.
>>340582541
Rangers need STR and AGI, some PIE for mythril equipment if you're aiming for that LUC if you're subbing Ninja and getting the Hide skills. Some VIT so you don't get one-shotted in case something goes awfully wrong.

>>340584774
Yeah, the game art is all very good. The idea of going around with a party of one's favorite characters is too tempting for a lot of people and is really the reason for getting this game for a good amount of folks, I'm sure.

>>340585128
Save it for ng+ or spend some points in LCK and AGL. Dont expect it to be useful early on.
What's the max amount of bonus points you can get at age 99?
Does anyone have a graphic for the border on the cards? Trying to stop the portraits from going outside of them.
>>340585596
Nevermind. Looks like 20.
>>340585128
They're okay to mix into samurai for the avoidance boost to abuse with Carnage Front, other than that I really have no clue what else they're good for.
Although if you want hilarity and ridikkalus damage, Dancer until 13 for Weapon Trick then go to Ranger until 28 for Hunter's Secret for continuous concentration until damage is taken, then just spam Tri-Step. You can level Dancer one more for Tetra Step, or to 23 for Star Step, but there's a -5,-10 hit penalty to them respectively.

If you've played any SMT that isn't persona 3/4, nocturne, IV, or DDS, you'll be fine
>>340585128
I poured most of my ninja points into AGI and not many enemies can hit her and she easily hits enemies my fighter types can't, ninjas can dual weapon fists/claws and can use hide->assassinate to deal a bunch of damage without a big risk of being attacked.
If you find some good long range special weapons they can dual wield those and do the same thing from the back row too. I don't know where all this ninjas are useless early game comes from, maybe if you don't have any weapons they can use it's true.
>>340583180
i was betting on those, just wasn't sure about luck... if i should drop some points on it while playing ranger
also, does anyone know the best race/build for a dancer? because they are pretty useless during the early stage and i don't have a clear idea of how to use them properly - they seem like a secondary specialization/cross class than a class on it's own
>>340581695

>>340582631
>limited amount of class changes
This is killing me on party planning. So far I've changed my Knight MC to a ninja for dodge tanking, and a samurai into a dancer for that 5-hit skill and infinite range. Probably just gonna leave my casters to learn all the spells, my dancer to learn that last skill, and I'm not sure if I want to change my fighter or wait for his last skill.
I'm not even sure if I can handle relevelling constantly, there isn't any super grind spots anywhere I've seen yet.
>>340585128
Assassinate ignores enemy defense, meaning you can easily eliminatebutterfliesfor large chunks of exp and easy grinds. It's obviously useful for other enemies with absurd defense values, too, and it grants higher hit/avoid rates while the Ninja remains hidden. Critical Hit readies a barrage of ambush attacks while the Ninja is hidden, and after 5 rounds pass without the Ninja being discovered, you can have them leave Hide status to drop the Critical Hit on the target and get 5 turns worth of attacks on the spot with the same attributes as Assassinate with bonus damage.
I usually have my Ninja use Fist weapons for Knock Out status, which makes any target affected by it defenseless and have 0 avoid. It's pretty great, and very, very few things in the game are immune to it.
>>340586629
Couldn't you use weapon trick for INFINITE RANGE backrow ninja?
>>340586767
Yes, yes you can.
>roll 17 bonus points
>click roll again

>>340586450
A few of the dungeons before the final stretch have hidden Butterfly Nests where every Ambush just calls up Butterflies. Those are the grind spots of the game.
You need to have a Ninja or a Samurai with high enough Luck to get reliable Critical kills to really mash through them, though.
In Mausoleum of Storms, I usually pull 50,000 exp when I get two Butterflies at once in an Ambush. Three is nearly 100,000 at enemy level 44 or so.
There's actually a little blog site that lists every spot you can find them, as early as Mausoleum of Flames.
>>340585665

30 actually, 33 with Fortunate talent. Don't ever expect to realistically reach these numbers though
>>340586767
You could, but by late game/NG+, backrow doesn't really matter for anybody but your Casters, and even then, if you've reclassed heavily enough, being in the backrow won't even be a serious necessity for them, either. Just a matter of preference.
I had a Ranger in my party, so Ninja stayed on the front line with my Knight and Samurai. No real issues to speak of, since Hide makes them immune to all but AOE magic attacks.
That doesn't mean Weapon Trick is pointless, though. It's fantastic for anybody and everybody, because the real kicker isn't being able to sit in the back row, but being able to attack any enemy anywhere.

Yeah, they're skill monkeys. Human/Fei if you're just getting their utility skills. Migmy Cleric if you're getting songs/dances.
any good gachi ones?
So I am looking at this that is getting posted around from the Japanese wiki...
Knight (13)> Ninja (15)> Fighter (28)> Ranger (28)> Cleric (30)> Knight
Fighter (13)> Ninja (15)> dancer (28)> Fighter (28)> Cleric (30)> Samurai
Samurai (13)> dancer (14)> Ninja (28)> Samurai (28)> Cleric (30)> Ranger
Ranger (13)> Fighter (15)> Ninja (28)> Ranger (28)> Cleric (30)> Dancers
Wizard (14)> dancer (13)> Cleric (30)> Wizard (30)> Ninja (28)> Wizard
Cleric (13)> dancer (13) Wizard (30)> Cleric (30)> Ninja (28)> Cleric
If you follow this, there is a point in time where you team comp is 2 ninjas and 3 dancers? What in the fuck? Aren't you just going to get fucking buttblasted with this teamcomp?
Also, is everyone just the same endgame after you completed the chart since everyone has the skills from like all the classes? Does your actual class even matter if you have multiclassed 5 times?
>>340587329
Yeah I stopped at 19 after re-rolling at least 100 times.
>>340582335
Max level, multiclassed into every class, randomly switches between them each turn.
>>340587985
You have a limited number of skill slots to equip non-primary class skills in, and that includes active as well as passive skills, such as armor/weapon equip abilities. The maximum number of skill slots is 8, then 16 in NG+ and onward. Even if a character masters the skills of every class, they will still be limited to the role you can put together for them based on the open 16 skill slots, so they manage to avoid the old Wizardry gag of making a party of Super Aryan Humans who have become every class and have the best Jack-of-All Trades stats possible, while being able to cast every spell in the game and equip anything.
Specialization remains important forever.

Is there anything special in NG+? Is there anything new or do you just go Godmode through it?
>>340587985
I'm going to presume that you cherry pick skillsets that you want from previous classes to help buff out your current class. Even something as simple as Infinite Range Dancer -> ninja means that slippery treasure chest-guarding people can't just fall back into the back rows to avoid your frontline damage and run off with the loot, you can continue to heckle them and maybe get a confuse or stun off to keep them around.

Thanks for offering
>>340588414
Too bad they don't have customizable weaponry so you can rename your sword into "Hyper Weapon" along with that.
>>340588548
The level of enemies increases with each successive NG+, up to a maximum of Level 255.
Your level is capped at 99.
So actually, the game becomes harder with each cycle. The primary reason to do NG+ is to get the best gear, and maximize your party, essentially. Also to see the other endings, if you care about that.
When you start your first NG+ cycle, characters will gain a stat point every level again as if they were newly made, you're no longer required to level past their highest class level before gaining new stat points.

You'll need an image editor, Paint.net is free and can do the job.

Usually, this means that the images are the wrong size, check the guide and resize the images to the correct height, then canvas size the width to the correct width.

The UserData files are copies of existing art, you can use them to scale your pictures so one doesn't look xbox huge compared to another.

You sure can, you just gotta head back into options and import the PICTUREGATE files again. Might have to restart the game afterwards though. You can also change character pictures too if you need to. So if you're playing and you find a better picture or need to make a new character, between the character management area to change image sets and updating them again in options you should be able to get what you need done.

With cross classing with a dancer or equiping nearly useless throwing weapons. Honestly you are better off defending or buffing with them. Clerics are for tough encounters to buff/heal and map utility healing.
Also fighters are okay in the beginning, but lack compared to other classes by the second dungeon. Not tanky like knight, lack the dps of a ninja or samurai.
>>340609907
Clerics can use special weapons like boomerangs, but so far I've been fine with just having my clerics defend so far. If it really bugs you, you can make casters rangers first then immediately job change to cleric/mage just to have the ability to equip bows, though keep in mind this uses up a job change slot. This can hurt in the long run but for most of the early game it does give you a solid weapon option for range.

But anon, don't you want that extra 1% magic damage those early wands give?
Wait, one of my dudes just turn into a butterfly? What does that even mean? Can I get him back?
What level will a party be after finishing the game?
The jap wiki has a recommended class switch setup but the combined level is ridiculously high and i suspect it's more of an NG+ thing.
>>340612002
No.
You know those butterflies you find? It's their souls.The gods of this world uses strangers' souls to power their ark and don't give a shit about you. Also the holy priestess is a yandere asshole who keeps the body of her beloved in a lake and uses parts of his dead body as an addictive drug in a gamble to keep the opposing faction from starting a war.
>>340612002
It means one of your characters ran out of LP. The older they are the less LP they have. When their bodies hit the floor they lose one LP, so if they were a cherished party member better reload because they are dead and gone for good.
>>340612732
Huh, it was the first time a character died...
>>340554547
really well done.
Have you considered sharing your img A to D files with us?
what is the easiest way to cut the right amount of pixel for your b c d files?
I don´t want to cut and rescale all the time
>>340581186
Literally why I picked law.
So what are some good damage dealing combinations to kill poneybell?
>>340614498
Copy in one of the template images from USERDATA as a seperate layer, make it semi-transparent, and adjust/trim your custom art so it's roughly using roughly about the same area as the stock images, then you can delete the template layer.
Should probably flip the battle portraits

throw me a bone, anon
>>340616384
Neat. Link?
>>340615693
I had a couple ninjas, a mage, and a dancer, I would have brought a healer but they were in the hospital. I probably would have not lost a couple members if I had remembered to pop the regen Morale thing, the ninjas pretty much took care of most of the damage.
Of course, when I first encountered poiney I got destroyed, so I went off and cleared out most of the Slums, which was much easier (though I left the archer asshole to sit on his hill while I explored the rest of the place). You probably might want someone with that Wild Instinct or whatever so you can more easily scout for secret doors, but you don't -technically- need it since they aren't hidden in particularly strange locations.
>>340616384
Yeah, I really need a link for that.
>>340616384
Haha! That's actually pretty damn neat, gives it a Phantasy Star vibe.

It has an english TL though I forgot where to DL it. Go dig around the /hgg/ pastebins for it.

It is possible to upload in zip file?
>Sakura Dungeon is selling better than OP game
WHY IS THIS ALLOWED? Sakura Dungeon is literally a casual DRPG for brainless weebs.
>>340617315
Boob sells
I changed the Img01 to Img06 folders for some others, yet when i try to upload them it says there is no image, what am I doing wrong?
>no 2hus
what a surprise
>>340618052
it is named 01~16,not img01
>>340618232
In the USERDATA Folder all the predetermined images we're named like that, im not sure if im doing something wrong
>>340618416
You have to create the folder IN PICTUREGATE,like this
>>340618416
Leave the USERDATA folder as it is.
Put the .pngs into PICTUREGATE.
Also remember capitalization. 'UserImgA.png' instead of 'userImgA.png'.
so much good pic, will it be too much to ask to have a database like they do with AA2 or just upload it to a booru or something
>>340618587
AA2 type database might be good but it will need to be hosting zip first
>just a dungeon crawler
The last time I played one was bunny black because I tricked myself that grinding=rape scene, too bad that game permanently burned me off crawlers

Here you go. Added 10 more Rance characters for good measure.
>>340619584
neat
>>340619584
Thanks a lot. I'd suck your dick if I could, anon.
Is it bad that my first thought whenever I see "Custom portraits" as a feature is to instantly picture Dave Grohl as the main character?
>>340619584
If you can do Rance Quest next it would be great
>>340619713
If I didn't care about portraits being uniform, I would have included Copa.
>>340619754
They'll be less interesting, but I'll do that after I progress in the game.If I could make a request after doing that, could I get a Danganronpa pack? Some of the promotional art is close enough to the game's artstyle.
>>340616664
Meh, I just got gud and killed it. Thanks for the help. Taunting is weird in this game.
This is me

Link to original artist/s?
Those are pretty good.
How do I save in town? Or does the game autosave?
>>340622282
go to guild
>>340621973
I found most of them randomly by going through tons of art and looking for something that would suit each class.
Only second from left had an entire gallery

They are pretty cool but most of them are a pain in the ass to cut out.
