The worst part is that people actually play it for the story. I've played the first one and it was shit as a porn game. You have to do like 2hs of boring generic rpgmaker dungeon crawling slop to get 3 "lewd scenes" that are basically 1cg each one with text below (and maybe some random scenes while crawling where some companion gets raped by tentacles or something). Then repeat again and again every time you come back to the town. Also, the game doesn't acknowledge the main character having sex with the girls because it's meant to be optional. So the story is taken more or less in a serious tone while all the sex happens in a void';

The gameplay is good. It's highly customizable party-based JRPG combat with a lot of skill tree and gear customization. The whole gist of the gameplay is that you need a good strategy to win. You can even do stuff with a single party member if you prep enough for the fight.

NTA, but why? is it because you just don't like porn or is there something fundamental about porn that somehow makes everything around it less good? Like, could the sequel games stay 100% and just remove the porn and the game would be somehow improved?

I genuinely don't understand this perspective and it seems to be pretty common, I get that 99% of porn games are shit, but you're arguing that the porn itself is a corrupting force that makes the game fundamentally worse and I want to know why.';

Anon I think you might just be scared of sex.
This is honestly a really big pet peeve for me personally, the idea that a work including explicit sex somehow instantly invalidates its merits. It always just comes off as childish to me. The idea that anything and everything is fine to include in your story, as long as it isn't sex, since sex is some black magic that instantly makes everything else bad, or matter who well written or justified it is. I never understood why that mindset is so common, especially in the west (my assumption has always been it's a result of our Christian roots, but I'm not entirely sure).
Like, how does the setting being written in such a way that sex is the natural conclusion make it poorly written? Wouldn't not including sex in a setting like Ordowald be poor writing, instead of the opposite?
And on the topic of being taken seriously, honestly I feel the fact that so many people get filtered by sexual content is in a lot of ways a plus. Annoying people can't handle it while everyone else who doesn't have a visceral reaction to a fundamental aspect of life gets to enjoy a great story.
I know I'm falling for bait but this is something that I think about way too much.

Yeah, it was kinda weak on that aspect, the other games had huge ones that completely changed how the character behaved in battle, while in ASYLUM it's mostly just stats.

>What were your favorites?
Everything with Ino, Merchant and specially Coldrens. Didn't like Lars that much and Versa was also good Except the ham one. For the soundtrack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MZvVbZa3s was really good, probably the best main menu one until now.

For the ghost, you need to get the oil slime through the cracks on tbe blue box on the underground floor. Then she shows up outside that box, but only towards the end of each day.

>Yuuyami the fox monster owns a brothel in the capital of Shikinowa and is said to be the shadow ruler of the capital city. She has charm abilities much like succubi do. She will have scenes in the 1.00 release.
>Lastly, Tsuzuri is Tsuzuri. She came to Shikinowa to train in the eastern part of the country, studying under a certain monster. We don’t know who. She’ll lend a hand to Nazuna and the crew as the game progresses. She’s still basically in love with Mana Tank as well, since her scenes from awake are canon.
One notable thing is both Ito and Tsuzuri might not be getting scenes in the 1.00 release of the game, much like Ten and Rokumaki Nao. Hakika’s once again stating that he’ll hold a vote for which of these side girls should get scenes. I guess that’s similar to how kludge had it, where Vyner and Olivia won that post-release poll.';

I think what we got was fine, but I also would've liked if we got more backstory about the original sin monsters that are the distortions. It wouldn't have hurt.';

There is a slight difference of understanding of sin, god(s) and afterlife between the west and east. I'm not sure how present japanese religion sees it as most of the time interviews I check indicate the japanese have become more materialistic and lost touch with that spirituality after losing the war (their gods falling) but the depiction of those things in Colony and ASYLUM are essentially a mix of concepts of both sides.
The ''tsumi'', which is their equivalent of sin is what we are dealing with:
>In ordinary usage, essentially the same meaning as the English "sin." In old Shinto, however, sickness, disaster, and error were also called tsumi, which thus formed a most comprehensive concept.
However even stuff like natural disasters and actions beyond man were included
>one notes that the occurence of evil was often understood as being caused by something beyond man's control; evil, including even moral and criminal offenses committed by men, was considered to be caused by evil spirits (magatsuhi no kami)
>salvation from tsumi was considered possible by harae, namely, by purification, the removal of impediments, and the expulsion of the evil spirits.
>This does not mean, however, that there is no acceptance of responsibility for restitution for sin. The sinner is regarded, not as naturally sinful, but as having been a member of a world of good and happiness; it is believed that by reminding him of this fact, the first step is taken to conquer evil and to restore him to his position as child of the gods.
When you see the above, this is closer to the view the Alzhettians had of sin and their rites to wash it away and slay the resulting sin monster.
The tsumi/sin isn't necessarily a person's fault as tsumi is seen as something beyond them, but still something they carry but it doesn't discern if the person was in his control or know he was doing right or wrong.';

'>>3458635
Neat. Bravo hakika.';

'Sin is butts. Only evil comes out of it.';

'>>3458635
The interesting part is that Alzhett similarly has a Christian side to the concept and penance with Auris believing she should shoulder the sins of her grandfather and seek to fix them while Emela’s Church spreading of forgiveness with prayers and remorse.
It could be that Hakika tried to make Alzhett’s culture like that while reutilizing the lore he estabilished in the Era of Myth or his inherent beliefs line as a midway point.
As for ASYLUM it’s essentially the jigoku, their hell. The translation kind of mixes it up due to lack of equivalent but my understanding is that rather than eternal suffering it’s essentially a compex purgatory. You end up in a corresponding place depending on the sins you committed in life and your stay is temporary in proportion as those sins are paid by whatever punishment in there. That’s why in japanese media you see so many characters claiming they will end in hell, even kinder ones fighting for good and the like. We in the west fear it since it’s eternal punishment, but their lighter views are due to seeing it as a purgatory and not necessarily a bad place depending on where you land.
The ASYLUM is essentially that. Every section designed for a corresponding sinner with Ordeals prepared to make them change themselves.

Kind of straying from the relation to the games but this is also why there is a disparity on our views of God and gods. Christianity sees as a trinity and one big creator, mythologies have pantheons with humane behavior. But the concept of “kami” is a broader definition spirits. Including nature simple spirits roaming the trees and the like. Not necessarily a big powerful figure although including one.
This is why we have games like “God Eater” in them with characters noting the creatures were named “aragami” due to resembling gods. They were talking about the nature spirits nothing big like Zeus and Thor.';

'I never beat ASYLUM's postgame so now I'm grinding the minisquare, what are the best brands? I somehow ended up getting a Third Eye brand really early and it's pretty awesome, but are there any must-haves?';

'>>3459022
If I remember right, the best ones are the Brute, Toughblade and Lifeblade miragebrands, and the best unique weapons from Aryaum are the Reckless (paired with Brute Miragebrand), the Samurai Sword (allows Malice to solo the final superboss), and the Shuriken weapon for familiars (it’s insanely busted). Make sure you start playing in Aryaum intensity 3 ASAP since that’s how you get access to the level II miragebrands. Intensity 4 is optional but does give you better chances of weapons from chests. The sequel bin has a big section about it all.
You may also want to consider the weapons from the revived distortions, a lot of them are very good such as Aemil’s familiar weapon (good for the final superboss on your attacker, and you need someone slow to shit bomb at the right time) and Destria’s Malice weapon (it’s good enough to allow Malice to solo stuff)
Third Eye Miragebrand really isn’t that good since it costs all your brand slots.';

>>3469681
I think a part of "the villains suck" narrative has to contend with the high probability that Hakika actually doesn't want to write said characters as villains, making it such that only a handful of them can be said to actually "be" villains.

Atline: Proper Villain
Ghost Path: Not really a villain, just a person taken over by a malicious creature
(Can't comment on rest of era of myth)
Blight: One Note Villain
Awake: Comedy Villain
Colony: False Villain + Real Villain ( + "The villain is society"? )
Asylum: Forced Circumstance Villain
L.Depth: Like Colony, there's a lot of ways you could interpret "who" the villain is, with there being multiple correct answers, and honestly I think that's how it should be. The offscreen grandmother actually made me genuinely mad, making her the best choice for villain overall in my opinion.
Kludge: L+ratio, neuro-atypical, bottom tier, smelly, disappointing lack of tie in, sham of a villain.

Maybe my standards are low, but Kludge is the only instance where I can say I was *thoroughly* disappointed, especially in terms of villain. If you discount the one character, there really isn't a villain, technically.';

'>>3469975
>I think a part of "the villains suck" narrative has to contend with the high probability that Hakika actually doesn't want to write said characters as villains

That's actually a very interesting way to look at it. But idk. Writing them as the "Im gonna kill everyone cus...... reasons?" still sucks. Specially when you consider the fact that Hakika knows how to write an interesting world filled with great characters to interact with. Even weirder when that's actually one of his strongest traits as a gamedev. Having a proper villain with real motivations would be nice.

I mean, if he doesn't want to, why even write said characters as villains in the first place? Why not just make the game about exploring the world and defeating mindless monsters?';

'>>3469975
That’s the problem I had with kludge’s story too. You could argue the villain is Idea, but she’s just an asshole-ish god that did everything for the “greater good” i.e. stopping the calamity with heroes she trained herself. Just from that, I’m actually going to guess that there’s going to be something in the final Sequel game that requires a bunch of heroes from every region in Ordowald. Or at least the main girls from each game.
';

'>>3469975
I thought awake's villain is a legit villain, despite his appearance. He's a complete failure of a person who does everything he can to make things better for himself at the cost of everyone else. A total sociopath. I just wish he had been actively meddling with things more, like with the machine that was making the fairies crazy.';

'>>3470228

'The fat cat knows';

'>>3470098
My only problem with Kludge is that nobody points out how nonsensical everything is. The death rain that isn't used intelligently, the ark that looks like it can't even fly, let alone destroy a world. The robots that barely try killing all humans, when we seem to think that's their goal, or bother defending their bases. The selection process for the ark being a test involving small unit tactics rather than rebuilding anything, and the mere fact that the ark itself doesn't make logical sense whether whatever enemy that necessitated its launch was within or without. You don't even have to have more than one person there to launch it. The only explanation I can think of is that Idea is a bad writer or just didn't care to make the set pieces for her hero training bootcamp believable. I honestly don't think the Ark would do anything if you actually did press that button at the end, it was just a test and you weren't supposed to press it.';

'>>3470361
Imagine the plap sounds';

'>>3470371
Yeah, I feel the same way. And I think a lot of it can just be chalked up to Vastas being a huge training grounds for the hero, as you say. It’s kind of funny to realize that there was no real threat in the entire game, it was all according to keikaku.';

'>>3470442

'>>3470453
b-b-BIG';

'>>3470431
I find it extra funny the party ends the fight thinking they've successfully convinced Idea to stop, when the real truth is there probably isn't enough time to run through more hero candidates because the next Calamity is due soon and waiting around a meadow.';

'>>3470371
This and so much more is why I couldn't enjoy Kludge.
Nothing felt real. Nothing felt thematically connected. And ultimately, there felt like there were no stakes.
I think at least that portion of how I feel about Kludge is fairly objective.
Subjectively, I think Kludge failed in the scenes, too- but this largely has to do with how I didn't find the majority of the cast appealing.
In general, the side-cast was much more interesting to me than the main cast.

Dita was badly handled, and I think is sort of the epitome of Hakika's "Don't want to write X as a bad character" syndrome. I feel like her whole character would have greatly benefited from being in a position where she could actually take charge like the protagonist she's supposed to be, instead of the awkward story half measure we got. Any number of things could have and would have been better.

Kuu is fine, and I can understand the overall theming hakika went for. Not in any means bad, just not my preference.

Lusica is also fine, but feels a little bit over the top. I think I was a little disappointed that her role as a mechanic didn't actually mean much- and this kind of bleeds over into my disappointment with how robots were handled in Kludge. It's the land of machines. Why don't the machines matter? Why aren't the robots cool? Yeah I get Ordowald's decaying, but still.

Yubeil? 10/10, can think of no criticism at this time, other than maybe "We should have gotten her in Colony instead"- but unfortunately, the story demands that that wouldn't have made sense. The alternative to that is "Should have been in a better game."

Yolnaya... who? I neither used her in-game nor was I interested by her scenes for some reason. Her character traits also end up not mattering to the story.

Faria, despite being an interesting character with a cool tie into the Era of Myth, completely lost my interest when I got to her scenes. Heavily disappointed, anti-preference.';

'>>3470747
Before getting into the game, I thought I would like Lusica the most, but I actually ended up liking Yubeil and Yolnaya the most. Vyner and Reda were great too. Dita’s alright, her purple ass is good just like Maria’s, but she leaves a lot to be desired. Lusica and Faria were the biggest disappointments of the cast if you ask me, they’re just compete weirdos.
Kludge’s cast had a problem with not bringing back any returning characters, so the cast seems weak on its own when compared to awake and colony’s all-star cast. There was a big lack of an audience surrogate character like Rabi in colony too, which hampered the story. Imagine if instead of Faria, we got Auris in the party at the halfway point. It would’ve been a million times better. You can just imagine it yourself.
And with this line of thinking, I can guarantee thirst’s cast will be much better just because they have both Nazuna and Uula to bounce off of.';

'>>3470763
The fact that the supporting cast was cooler than the main cast makes me sad, because that means that we didn't get the parallel timeline where they were the main party instead.

Now I'm imagining some endgame section where there's like, a whole boss rush section of defeating/knocking sense back into your team.
ex; Reda -> Yubeil (again) -> Dita -> Vyner
Not sure how you'd balance that, though, if you're knocked back down to like one or two party members for that.

On that note, the community voted side characters are *also* a massive loss. How many of them do you think would have made cool team members? (If not all, almost all.)
As it is, they're just weird OC cameos.';

'One thing I think I've probably gotten wrong about translating Ghost Path so far is the Inns- if you try to stay the night when you don't have enough gold, you'll get a message to the effect of "It looks like you don't have enough money..."

I think originally I thought that it was the innkeepers who were saying this, rather than being just a system message (ex; "Got Item")- I'm not entirely sure, but so far I haven't seen a unique "Broke" message so far, I think. Definitely something I should look into again once I get to wrapping things up.

'While I'm somewhat active, I might as well mention some of the small changes I did.
Essentially, the only things that are different from the base game in Ghost Path are small quality of life things- namely, "Visibility."

With the exception of Liberty Step, none of the other Era of Myth games show you items that you're able to pick up with the sparkles we've all come to get used to. I made them visible, and that's a pretty no-brainer change.
Part of that, however, is the Skill Books (Magic Manuals) that you can find on various bookshelves across the world, but I'm considering if the visibility on them should be removed, seeing as there's a built in indicator of sorts already, thus making them sparkle a redundant change.

The last visibility change I did was the addition of an optional curse indicator, since unlike the skill books, you're meant to aimlessly look for the single interactable object in the area. If it makes things any better in consideration of that, Ghost Path 2 has this visibility by default. Evidently, either Hakika himself agreed that this sucked, or had enough feedback about it to make this change for the second game.';
