東方蒼神縁起 ～ THE GENIUS OF SAPPHEIROS (v1.07 is out!)

[Nat Tea]

Does anyone else become as awesome as Patch at any point?

Sakuya.

Add 25 ABP to her Time Stop tree (the stabbed clock) and she will gain "Space-time Manipulation" which increases her Private Square duration by one more turn. The ABP 20 bonus of Time Stop gives her Bombs +2, making her max bomb count 8. If you then equip an item that has Bomb +1, she now has 9 bombs. She can now cast Private Square three times for three turns each. You now should equip her claymore (the best one you can make) because during Private Square, SHE DOESN'T MISS (at least, that's what I've heard). Equip Tengu Support (one ally instant turn spell) to Aya and make her cast it on Sakuya before each Private Square so she goes first and boom, she can now get nine hits before the battle actually starts rolling.

This is totally game breaking and you should abuse it when you get 25 ABP if you find the game's bosses really annoying.

as I have said many times:

download =/= pirate.

Oh, shut your piehole, that just assumes no context. Three posts just to say that?


Anyways, if you've been watching the Pooshlmer threads lately, I would like someone to set Catharsis straight please please please please PLEASE. I don't want the translation patch to go kaput because the translator decided to play god with it.

[trancehime]

What does Nitori's skill tree look like? The information is not up on the wiki.

Throw at me the screenshots and I'll gladly TL them for someone to edit into the wiki.

EDIT: Also, materials for making character-specific weapons.  Where do I go to get those?

These are all off the top of my head so the ones I'm unsure about I'll mark "needs confirmation" someone can go check the Youkai Compendium for me or something.

Dark Cobra in STG04 drops Sanae's
Furball in STG03 drops Reimu's
Dark Crow in STG03 drops Aya's
Matango (needs confirmation) in STG03 drops Marisa's

So what's going wrong so far, again?

[trancehime]

So what's going wrong so far, again?

Catharsis has the extremely bright idea to use SimHei for the translation.

This is completely stupid because it's a JPN to ENG translation patch, not a JPN to CH translation patch.

[Serela]

After reading some stuff over again, I think you people are just having a communication error. A little bit of calm conversation should solve the problem easily. The conversation is going in a fine direction right now, I think, as long as no one gets mad.

I think everyone involved in the translation effort - him and everyone else - is involved in a giant communication error.  Nobody's explaining why they do or suggest what they do, until afterwards, and then takes a jackass stance about it.

I think I'm just going to go through this game in Japanese and be happy with it like that, and only pay attention again once it's finished z.z;

I love this game's sprites.

[8lue Wizard]

Yuyuko. What.

How am I supposed to damage her when 4 out of my 5 attacks miss every single turn? And that's with Sanae's Acc buff.

I just came here to ask this myself. :C

Thank God for Hyper Camouflage.

You know, assuming I can even get her health below 95% because HOLY FUCK THAT DODGE RATE

[8lue Wizard]

Yeah, I've read up on how to cheese out Res Butterfly. I just don't see how I'm expected to get to it in the first place.

[Esoterica]

I noticed most of the "miss" indicators are green.

Not that I can give an answer to what that means, but it reeks of gimmick.

Cast Sword's Wind (PATK up) with Time Lord Sakuya (refer to my last post) in the team and unleash the fury. If Sakuya gets Sakuya's World while being Time Lord, you are now in the fast lane to victory.

This might not work though.

Perfect Dodge. Your characters can do it too, but it's a low percentage.

Oh, so basically this fight's just bullshit then.

...great. :<

[8lue Wizard]

Is there a debuff that decreses the occurance of PDs? Agi or Dex or something? *goes to check Satori's skill listings*

EDIT: Apparently you can only debuff battle stats. Will debuffing Eva help, then?

[Esoterica]

Byakuren's "Omen in Purple Mist" and Unquick should both do the job.  Not sure what Satori's equivalents would be.

EDIT: Satori has Quagmire, though the cooldown is...bad.

EDIT2: To whoever's adding that learning skills section in on Satori's page on the wiki, my Satori has the fire spell from those fairies, and the dark equivalent from something else.  All elements of it are learnable.

Actually, not really.

You can survive Res Butterfly by turning up everyone's RES, equipping anti-death items, or adding ABP to Sakuya's Murder skill tree (bloody knife).

They're also hard because I would assume that your characters are probably ten levels above you.

The image link above is spoilers since it tells you stats, resistances and stuff.

Res Butterfly isn't my problem, it's actually managing to even hit her to begin with.

EDIT:

[attach=1]

yeah screw this I'm going to bed

[Think Komachi with a Rifle]

Use Marisa with full points in Master Spark, spam. Can't miss? and ignore defences tottaly. Useing Nitori as comander also works, she can make enemy evasion 0 for a turn, for 1 bomb.

as I have said many times:

download =/= pirate.

Indeed, but download sometimes equals pirate, and if it's beyond a reasonable doubt you mean anything else but pirate when you mention 'downloading a game', that's when we step in.

When someone mentioned, alludes, or asks about downloads relating to a game, staff does its homework before deciding to comment or step in. I.E. first checking whether the game is either 1. Freeware, 2. Has a demo that the person could be talking about or 3. Has download as one of its possible purchasing options. If it is none of these, then we can only assume you're talking about pirating the game. And i'm one person who likes to give people benefit of the doubt as well, which is why I just issued a light warning instead of anything more heavy because I couldn't confirm whether there was a demo of some kind out there.

[Anima Zero]

So yeah, this game's pretty fun.  Just hit the 3rd stage.  Even if I can't read what the characters are saying...Remi at the end of stage 2 and her little tirade are priceless. 

Also...really stupid that new characters join in at lv1 when the rest of the crew is at lv6, but whatever.  I'll just grind them up to speed in stage 2 so they're much closer to my other characters.

But anyways...Sakuya is oh god powerful.  Making a new claymore for her + some points into her claymore tree + Illusions tree = Hello to whacking everything for around 80-100 dmg a hit.

Patchy's no slouch either.  Just that once her MP goes poof, she's kinda useless.  I imagine getting her a good weapon and switching her points in her skill trees to more physically based ones will do fine until I can get it refilled in such a case.

Lv4 for Sakuya, Patchy, and Nitori (current commander).  Using Marisa and Aya to help out with grinding those three up to lv8 before I go deeper into the 3rd stage.

[Inactive person]

I love this game! 
Currently at Alice and she's destroying my party.
Kinda weird how I'm having so much fun (smiling like crazy :V) being defeated.

[Anima Zero]

Just reached the 5th stage.  Alice proved to be a challenge as I needed 3 tries to bring her down.  1st fail one of the dolls was solo and basically decided to pull a FF Bomb and explode + wipe my entire party.  2nd fail Mokou got KO'd way too early, resulting in a wipe a few turns later.

3rd time...swapped out Patchy, put in Marisa, got through the fight without anyone going down...and finished the fight in style with a Master Spark, heh.

4th stage was nothing special.  Okuu and Orin got owned on the first attempt.  Probably helped that Byakuren did like 400+ dmg or something really high to Okuu with her light element spell and that I wiped off all her HP in 3 turns basically.

5th stage...besides the fact that Satori will likely be my boss for this stage, oh god enemies with party wide charm spells and those enemies that look like ones from the early FF games doing party wide paralysis spells.  Might actually have to invest in some accessories to help against them.

[trancehime]

Okuu has a really exploitable weakness to Light that more people need to abuse.

[Esoterica]

Okuu has a really exploitable weakness to Light that more people need to abuse.

They both also have an even more exploitable weakness to water. :3

[scherzo]

How successful have you guys been in getting Satori to learn spells? I have yet to see this ability trigger.

[Serela]

How successful have you guys been in getting Satori to learn spells? I have yet to see this ability trigger.

She must be at a certain level or higher (it seems) to learn the skill, she must be hit by it, and putting points into her :smug: skill tree gives bonuses to learning. The first point apparently gives a 100% bonus, so it might be REQUIRED to do that for learning.

[Anima Zero]

Cleared the 5th stage.  Game Over'd twice there...and neither of them to Satori surprisingly.  One came because of those lovely enemies with the party wide paralysis spells (and normal attacks that carry a chance of instant death, joy), the other I just kept getting screwed over by an enemy with a party wide "LOL you lose your turn!" that essentially always hit Byakuren and Patchy, resulting in me going poof cause of other enemies with insta death attacks.

Satori herself went by amazingly easy.  Alice was able to soak up all of the attacks I saw during the fight which lasted...4-5 turns I think?  I dunno, but it went by rather fast.  Probably also helped that Alice got a Last Word chance after taking 2 hits tops...not like Satori really did anything that made me panic to be honest.  Some sort of negative status spell on Alice that failed, a couple single target spells (That weren't even super threatening truthfully), a debuff I think...yeah.

Might have also helped that I used Sakuya's one field affecting skill that nulled all healing effects too.  Kinda figuring every major boss at this point is going to have some form of regen going on.

So did Satori have anything in her skillset that would have basically been a screw you to me and I just got really lucky?

6th stage now.  Party levels running around 16-17 at the moment.  I'll deal with leveling up Satori when I get my final party member.
