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

[Myschi]

Our of all the mage-type people, I'd expect Byakuren to have the physical enhancing stuff, not Patchy...

This game just screws with your mind, doesn't it?

Nah, Byakuren's got support spells that boost stats; it's just that Patchy actually has a skill line about her physical attacks.

Actually, Byakuren's more about debuffing than buffing overall, surprisingly.

[Earthsiege]

Byakuren's supposed to be good at physical magic, lorewise, and Patchy we all know has the physical ability of wet tissue paper. Yet Patchouli I-live-in-a-library-and-have-ten-kinds-of-ailments Knowledge has a physical attack spec here?

Patchy swinging around a battleaxe at all is a scary thought, let alone skillfully...

[Ghaleon]

Blah, quit yaking, you guys are making me wanna play this game. But every time I try to play an rpg I can't understand, it ends in disappointment for me.
Why does patchy have to be squishy? whyyy. She sure as heck takes a longass time to beat in EoSD >=P.. Chucks as many spellcards at you as Flan (ok not quite but still).

[Garlyle]

Well, Byakuren might have one too.  I think her first and second skilltrees are for enhancing her Buff and Debuff spells, and either the third or fourth is largely for giving her a massive well of HP and MP, but that still leaves her fourth.

Also someone's being a bro and translating the manual for me, so I'm updating the wiki's gameplay sections and such as I get the information.  There's... a lot of stuff going on in this game.  Way more than I initially thought.

Also: Patchy's squishy to make up for the fact that she's goddamn awesome.

[Ghaleon]

Uhh, I assume you'll share the translated manual when it's done? I just might take a crack at the game if I have an English Manual to help me out.

[Garlyle]

Uhh, I assume you'll share the translated manual when it's done? I just might take a crack at the game if I have an English Manual to help me out.

Well, yeah.  I'm also putting all the info up on the Wiki too as I get it, plus taking a crack myself at trying to translate some of the character's skill lists and stuff myself, so... 8D

Her Physical Attack skill line is actually called "Treasure of Knowledge" and the icon is a giant bookshelf.

Anyway, I can actually translate all the skill stuff if necessary. Since I run the risk of destroying my display drivers though if I do it while playing, I might wait for the Sappheiros JPN wiki to be completed.

[Garlyle]

Is it really that painful to your drivers?

Anyway, if you really need, I can screencap the stuff for you (Or you can do it yourself).  That way you don't have to be running the game.

Also, STATS LIST, along with what stat boosts them:

First column:
Physical Attack (STR)
Physical Defense (VIT)
Magical Attack (INT)
Magical Defense (None!)

Second column:
Accuracy (DEX)
Evasion (AGI)
Ailment Infliction (DEX)
Ailment Resistance (POT)
Speed (AGI)

Elements list is in this order: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light ; Dark, Magic, Slash, Pierce, Blunt

Also I got enough information to start really doing wiki pages, so yeah.

[trancehime]

It only happens when I do something completely stupid but I'd rather not risk it.

Last time my display drivers crashed it was because I had the game running while trying to upload something to friggen imageshack so.

[Garlyle]

I... huhn.

Want me to screencap everything then?

Also, I'm doing that thing where I wiki edit again.  This is horribly incomplete but yeah.

[trancehime]

Correction, Youkai Buster isn't a spellcard

sorry

EDIT: Fuck I missed Barriers ABP 16

Barriers
ABP 16 - Healing magic can now cure "Permanent" status effects. Healing magic now has 0 Delay

EDIT 2:

緊急 - "emergency,"

so I would say it would be "Critical Evasion +5" for Concentration ABP 16

EDIT 3:

Support spells for Raymoo weren't covered either so here they are!!

Hakurei Border (1 Bomb)
Requires Fantasy Seal to be equipped on Reimu
Creates barrier on the party, reducing 20% of all incoming damage.

Fantasy Spirit Explosion (3 Bombs)

Here's a translated Manual for the game.

[Myschi]

You (and whoever ended up helping) is (are) the best person (people) ever.

Thanks much for the manual!

[Ghaleon]

Yay, thanks guys. I haven't tried the game yet but this definately helps pique my interest.

[Pesco]

Can someone send me their config file with the attack animations turned off? Seeing as I can't even get past the opening movie, I can't turn off the in-game settings myself you know.

[Garlyle]

It's not in Config, it's in the in-game options menu.

also it wouldn't help.

Are you running it with XP compatability?

[Pesco]

I'm already using XP. Can't get more compatible than that >_>

My graphics are onboard and if I was missing any other stuff, I doubt the game would run.

[trancehime]

oh so it seems the Pooshlmer folk are faster at this than I am

I'll leave it to them then, unless there's some really urgent stuff that needs TLing.

If that's the case, throw at me whatever stuff needs TLing and I'll do it. See, school is eating up my time and I'm still in Stage 04, I haven't even seen

Spoiler:

Kismay

yet.

[Garlyle]

Well, it might be asked of you to assist in the future again.  Right now we're having some hangups on wiki formatting and the issue of whether or not to simply copy over the JP wiki formatting and add our own translations (I'm against that; even if it's just HTML code I still don't like using someone else's effort, as ultimately slowing as it may be).

Oh well, I found out I can translate this stuff better than I thought, so... I'll probably be taking a crack at a character or two more in the future.  Day by day, etc etc

[trancehime]

Hnn... Very well.

Yawn. Back to being "NEET" Not that I'm complaining!

[Garlyle]

oh dear

Someone cracked this game.  Looks like serious translation work might be starting now.

dang that's fast. I hope the format of the "guts" are workable (I mean not like Fushigi no gensokyo)

[Esoterica]

Just starting to get into this.  Looked at the recruitment requirements for Mokou and Byakuren...all I can say is "What."

[Garlyle]

Just starting to get into this.  Looked at the recruitment requirements for Mokou and Byakuren...all I can say is "What."

Fortunately they're the only ones like this.

The game actually does give hints to this, albeit somewhat cryptic ones.

Spoiler:

The manual mentions in the Myouren temple that "Byakuren's usually here!  But, she's not... at least, not right now..."; and I think what Murasa says hints about it too.

As for Mokou it's one of those "Just go with your gut" moments, although I think Akyuu hints about it a bit

[trancehime]

Haha!

I crashed my display drivers again! How?

doing absolutely nothing

Good thing I ran over that healing circle after beating Stage 4. :/

[Myschi]

Spoiler:

When in doubt,

Spoiler:

Konami Code

. Makes perfectly twisted sense to me!

Also, huzzah on it being cracked!

[Esoterica]

Started playing, currently (I assume) halfway through stage 2.  Recruited Mokou and Byakuren before even starting anything else.  I set Aya as team commander, as she seemed to be the only character that didn't have any noteworthy traits setting her apart from the other options (and her commander bonus to the team is pretty nifty).

So far, Mokou and Reimu are team MVPs.  Reimu does anything and everything well at low MP costs, and Mokou both takes damage and deals it out in addition to being the only character so far with a multi-target attack.

Quick question: Is there a way to restore MP/bombs in a dungeon without having to run back to a magic circle?
