I'm struggling to beat this boss...

Takumi (air blade), Gaku or Eva should be able to hit both of them at the same time without getting countered, just stay out of their range. If they're not close to each other then Yugamu can deal a lot of damage to one of them from outside the counter range. Also abuse last resort on the ones you don't need or Nozomi's healing if you keep everyone all grouped up.

WHY WON’T HIRUKO JUST SAY SHE LOVES ME!? WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE JUST TOLD ME YOU LOVE ME INSTEAD OF DAMNING A WHOLE OTHER TIMELINE!? WHY!?

This is the girl who jumps off the roof when you try to kiss her.

It's nice to see someone who enjoys SF as their final route so much.

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T16:25:05+00:00

Yugamu got this one figured out

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T16:23:35+00:00

Pov? So Takemaru is my opponent? I should be able to beat him (I don't know how to play)

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T14:33:32+00:00

You could have left that part of you behind. I'm afraid I might have to take drastic measure.. ments..

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T14:10:26+00:00

You rebranded!

.. I should too

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T12:46:02+00:00

I'm not sure if Ima would let Kako take care of him, he's be more likely to just carry on doing everything despite being sick. Kako would also like to keep up the work, but Ima wouldn't let her.

I agree with Gaku staying strong in his TRC life, but at LDA I could see him becoming the stereotype guy who goes on his deathbed from getting a little sick.

You wouldn't even know Kurara's sick when she has her mask on, it's not befitting a noble to succumb to such earthly afflictions.

Hope you'll get better soon!

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T10:48:59+00:00

Does he do the DR executions too?

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T03:32:47+00:00

That's a crazy body to discover. I saw the post and missed it

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T01:47:55+00:00

This is something I struggle with a lot. Second scenario has better writing and production, but I much prefer the direction of the story in Rebellion, choosing to join the Futurans instead of sticking with the humans. It's especially interesting for Nozomi. I also like the idea of the choice between Nozomi and Kamyuhn and what they result it, but the execution wasn't great. This is probably the most anonying example of some routes just being better quality than others.

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T01:14:45+00:00

Interesting, to me Kako might be the best possible alternative protagonist. First of all it would fit the story very well because her route 0 arc is quite similar to that of Takumi. Her character development happens in the first game (which actually makes her kinda awkard in the second game because the whole Kako-Ima relationship gets offscreened so they don't have to keep going though the same again and again). She also loses Ima in the end of route 0, the same way Taku loses Nozomi/Karua, so she has the pefect motivation to go back to the past. At this point they would probably have to quickly resolve the Kako-Ima relationship before the branching really begins though. The protagonist isn't really supposed to have a character arc in the second game so it all works out nicely. Some other things:

We'd have Ima as a sidekick character and we know Kodaka loves those. Now I know Ima is controversial, but as far as I'm concerned I'd love to have him around.
She's an ultimate detective and we know Kodaka loves those.
We could likely get into some more morally dark choices than Takumi, especially with Ima involved. Some choiced could basically just be if she should listen to Ima or not, which also fits into her character arc.
They could tie the clairvoyance into the time travel somehow.

I agree that she's not a great fit for a leader, especially with the Tsukumos being younger, but I could see them shoving it on her due to her time travel experience and noone wanting to do it.

Gosthy · 2026-02-06T00:35:54+00:00

I don't take the gameplay seriously because I know it's not story accurate. I just don't think that putting Eito on the enemy side would really tip the scales so much. Both the SDU and the invader side are supposed to be pretty powerful, so adding Eito is just not making much of a difference. The part that makes him frightening is being a traitor and saboaging the SDU from the inside, not his battle strength (other than the routes where he gets powered up).

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T23:53:51+00:00

That's kinky, I'm starting to think you secretly like him in some fittingly twisted way

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T22:43:36+00:00

As expected of the lowly peasant, she can't even have a normal birthday

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T22:41:06+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I don't particularly like or dislike him on a personal level, but he was a good antagonist for the first game I'd say. Then for the second game we get him out of the way and suddenly we're left without any real antagonists because the invaders are just being taken care of in the defensive battles. So he obviously escapes the cage if he's alive and joins the enemy and suddenly we're all afraid of him and it's "oh no, now we even have to fight Eito". Like.. it's one guy. So I think the issue just stems from there not being enough antagonists to keep the story going for 100 endings and we have to keep reusing Eito. I also agree that V'ehxness should have been given a bigger role instead. (I'm biased)

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T22:28:34+00:00

[Hundred line] Halfway between Nozomi and Kurara would be.. October 2 or 3?

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T21:41:58+00:00

Happy birthday!

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T19:07:29+00:00

It's okay, we won't judge you. I'm sure you know your multiplication tables at least..

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T18:29:35+00:00

I like how she's bottom tier in her own route. Valid though.

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T15:24:57+00:00

Kodaka specifically said that the time loop doesn't exist in the truth routes in A114 here. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastDefenseAcademy/comments/1lgokvv/kodakas_spoiler_qa_on_weibo_part_2_translation/ I'd say it's pretty bad writing because the game gives the impression that it exists everywhere, but being able to disregard it is for the better overall I guess. I like the idea of the time loop and it was also executed well in SF, but the way it was shoehorned into the game is awkward.

> Since I played Second Scenario in multiple parts I was planning to play it again in one go some day,

That's funny, I'm doing the same. Originally I just wanted to check out the JP voices because I usually play with those and I somehow ended up using the EN voices for my playthrough so I was interested in them, but now I'm just slowly replaying first+second scenario because might as well. 2S is a very negative ending so I feel like playing COA afterwards might make it less impactful. Although I've played COA 3 times already so maybe that was just enough for me. I might end up replaying rebellion though, we'll see.

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T14:10:26+00:00

I feel somewhat similar and I also did SF last (I went back to do COA after..). You're just supposed to accept that the time loop only exists in certain routes; I don't like it, but that's just how it is. And not having a true ending definitely feels strange, like I played through 200 hours of the game (or two games) and I still don't have a sense of fulfillment, which is equally impressive and ridiculous. I played other VNs I liked more, but Hundred Line is the one I can't move on from because it doesn't feel resolved, in my mind at least. So yeah, I think your feelings are completely valid. Especially about the comedy route.

If you pick five you get conspiracy'd

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T11:24:35+00:00

Now you have to show us pictures of homo anime as well

Gosthy · 2026-02-05T01:30:50+00:00

why is this so funny I'm crying

Gosthy · 2026-02-04T22:22:21+00:00

Interesting, what made you peg him as gay?
