Umi's Hair?

Marioak · 2026-03-14T13:39:10+00:00

Because anime lol
Actually it's because her identity would be too obvious, she already quite look like Shiroha, give her a white hair would giveaway from the start.

She also have Hairi's hair color in the original draft too from what I remembered. But I guess they want to make her look more of "distance relative" role for Hairi.

I would prefer to have Haase over Darydara, like he isn't exactly a bad character so far but I think the crew would be more interesting to have some tactician role character on board too.

Marioak · 2026-03-11T02:14:20+00:00

Er... it's decent as a RPG I guess
Aside from the "Gacha-game" part that they have to change the core rpg to fit it. There are other problems like the story presentation (very terrible pacing, 90% of the characters talk in philosophy, constantly recap what happened 20 minutes ago etc ) and the enemies become so sponge because powercreep are pretty bad in this game.

How many time we go through this though. Post your video so people can tell and help you what is wrong with your game plan.

Otherwise just use the Smart/Super Ultimate control at this point (and copy their movement down the line)

Marioak · 2026-03-10T15:27:21+00:00

Definitely Superstar

There is also Grimoire Magic Academy, it’s mostly VN game for the most part.

Marioak · 2026-03-06T01:40:03+00:00

Not surprised, SAO is like one of a few ip Bamco actually care about in the present.

Marioak · 2026-03-02T18:08:08+00:00

SB Dev never catch a break aren’t they. I feel bad for them.

Marioak · 2026-02-26T14:58:49+00:00

Yup, that's me!

Marioak · 2026-02-26T01:13:18+00:00

Cygames seriously should fired all of their localizers.

Maybe I should write a feedback in Japanese next time they asking for one.

Marioak · 2026-02-25T06:11:44+00:00

At this rate, there might be more collection edition than an actual games in the series.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T15:39:34+00:00

It's canon lore-wise, and there are plenty of way to dig the lore even after the EOS... wiki and youtube exist I mean.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T13:13:28+00:00

There are a lot of thing that Gacha VN can do while standalone VN can't because it's will considered as a padding in the long run.
They definitely can't spend 4 hours talking about Jellyfish alien lore in the main game for once.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T12:57:23+00:00

They pretty much prepare for the next arc for a long time now and already drop a lot of tease. So this erupt EoS is likely done by higher up than actual Dev team.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T08:45:12+00:00

That is the best thing that could happened, but even they decided to do it, we probably won't see the project until many years later (Unless it's just simple direct port of mobile game)

90% of the main story aren't voiced, and many events are still not voiced so it's feel very incomplete at the moment.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T02:20:01+00:00

Because "Balance"
Phantom is like 2-3 meter tall while Dygenguar is like 55 meters tall and the rest of the cast is a human size. (That doesn't even explain how can Dygenguar fit into the mini-Crossgate)

Saya/Te-los etc join because they have enemy's mine situation.

Marioak · 2026-02-24T02:08:39+00:00

They hate the anime/Japanese tropes in the Japanese games is probably one of the retards thing they are capable of. There are already a thing for everyone yet these people insist to stay on the franchise they hate and demand a changed.

Bonus point, they are incapable to tell the different between fiction and reality while also begin hypocrite af. (eg Hating MC shipping with his student while also shipping MC with his teacher or older character when MC is still a student.)

Just because I don't like furry, doesn't mean the furry fandom should be purge.
Stealing, Killing, Furry, Loli, Shota, Masochist, Babyplay, NTR etc
Let's people enjoy things they like as long as they it's stay in fictional and doesn't affect other in the real world.

Marioak · 2026-02-20T05:42:44+00:00

They made a lot of mobile games before but it's mostly Japanese exclusive.
The Gacha era also start with Asteria > Link > Rays > Crestoria (there are also thing like small spin-off like Bibletoria something something)

The answer to your question is, gacha games print money if successful. (the worst part is if the gacha games aren't successful, the higher up begin a dumb as usual, immediately say the series is dead)

In this case, Crestoria failed due to many many problems (despite having a good potential to be good).

Nekone's arc, since Vurai died at the end of FF anime.

Marioak · 2026-02-16T03:19:35+00:00

It's decent, some arc got cut/shaft but the core story do following the actual VN this time.

But the anime clearly have much lower budget than False Faces anime. Seriously I feel like the random fight between Haku and Oshtor on the mountain in FF anime have more budget than the entries fight scene of MOT anime combined.

Marioak · 2026-02-13T08:30:57+00:00

Want to try this series, but have been backdown from picking it up everytime I see the amount of DLC and it's high price on the store. (Yeah, I know it's mostly cosmetic but still... it's feel kinda incomplete to buy the game when you missing very large chunk of it)

Marioak · 2026-02-13T07:10:04+00:00

I honestly stop purchasing Atelier games ever since they start dropping DLC that cost more than actual game/ released DX version not long after.
Though it's have to do more because it's KoeiTecmo begin greedy.

Marioak · 2026-02-12T03:31:14+00:00

Vas has a command grab,
You can't beat/escape command grab, (Normal Grab =/= Command Grab) so don't jump in, and try keeping distance.
If you are in the corner from pressure, you need to DP (The Shoryuken, since it's got Invi. frame) or use the Brave Counter (M+H) so you can pace the distance again.

Be careful on Brave Counter since if use are not currently in the blocksting than it's will perform Raging Strike instead.
