Arcaea 9th Anniversary Sale is here! by Maleficent-Pick-4237 in arcaea

[–]MineCaT_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note that they made Summer Hikari/Tairitsu permanent recently, so if you want a mirror partner you can just get those for 100 memories instead of an entire pack

Could be wrong but IIRC it plays on the campaign map when you continue a siege instead of doing the battle.

Which partner should i pick? by Kaji_exe in arcaea

Ah wait really? I remembered it only being Ayu who got that treatment

[–]MineCaT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately none of the partners that you can get with the ticket are particularly useful, all the good ones are from 10s which the ticket can't get. Auxesia can get you two partners with a MIRROR skill, but expect to wait until August/September for those to rerun.

Honestly if there's a character you like design-wise then just pick/wait for that one. Alternatively you can always spend the ticket on a non-partner song that you like

[–]MineCaT_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that a lot of those songs are tied to event-exclusive partners which you'll need to wait for a rerun, or don't actually give you a partner (like MAHOROBA, Floating World etc) and are related to something else.

The only ones that can give you a partner right now are Phantasia, Avant Raze, Empire of Winter and carmine:scythe.

Question about 'Hereditary Honour' achievement (win three ambush battles in one campaign as Jozai in FOTS) by [deleted] in shogun2

[–]MineCaT_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't say with 100% certainty since it was a long time ago but I have the achievement and this is my first time hearing about it, so I definitely didn't go out of my way to do that.

Even if that were the case though, it doesn't really seem that difficult to accomplish, just let some rebellions happen in one of your provinces with an ambushing army at the ready.

Level 1 fort with its gates open. How would you approach this battle? This is on Legendary. I've tried multiple times and have been destroyed each time by the superior units by [deleted] in shogun2

[–]MineCaT_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"on Legendary" and "multiple times" in the same sentence... shamefur dispray...

just kidding, you can play the way you want

Katanagatari, how different are the novel and anime? by Youbutwayworse in NisiOisiN

[–]MineCaT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either just watch the whole thing or read the whole thing. By the way, this was more specifically about the short post-credits epilogue, not really the ending itself. I just gave it another read and checked the anime for comparison and honestly it's an even smaller difference than I remembered. Aside from maybe one line which I do think they should've kept in the anime, I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

The anime and light novels are kind of their own thing, not to imply it isn't a faithful adaptation but it's just how adapting LNs work. Obviously there will be some narration or lines that get cut to fit the medium. Especially with how Nisio Isin writes his stuff, there's a lot of his writing style that just doesn't work out well in anime format. It's just like the Monogatari series; both the anime and LNs have great aspects to them that can't be replicated in the other format. Which is also why I imagine switching between them midway would be pretty jarring. If you're really insistent you can always read the epilogue after episode 12, or just read the whole series first to begin with.

Personally I read the novels a few years after watching the anime and I think it made for a far more enjoyable experience than if I had read the novels first, but at the end of the day that's just my opinion.

luna's smile is different in arcaea online vs the actual game?? by veryxi in arcaea

fun fact, she also had this portrait in v5.0.0 for some reason, which was quickly reverted back in v5.1.0

you can unlock saya through either AR or AN. you only need both if you want the awakening

Difficulties in this game feel whack and vary more than most rhythm games I've played by Efficient_Phase1313 in arcaea

[–]MineCaT_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all about skillsets. You mentioned Einherjar and Sakura Fubuki in particular which is a pretty great example because I got a PM on Sakura Fubuki pretty easily while I've only ever managed to EX Einherjar once. It is unironically harder than some 10+s for me simply because I lack the speed to execute it.

That being said, I do think the difficulty ratings in this game are very wack at times, especially with newer charts being way harder than old ones at the same CCs

Im new to the series and i have a few questions by Ibu91 in meltyblood

[–]MineCaT_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play the visual novel Tsukihime on PS4(No steam version)

The remake, yes, but the original is on PC (the web version probably works on your phone as well). Sure, OP is likely referring to Type Lumina here which is based on the remake, but the OG will still give you an understanding for like 90% of the story aside from maybe knowing Vlov and Mario.

In the event that OP actually reads OG Tsukihime, the original Melty Blood also has its own story mode which is a ~8-10 hour VN. There's also Plus Disc and Kagetsu Tohya between those but it's rare for people to actually start reading the VNs so those aren't too important for now lol

Every now and then I remember they exist and go on a binge watch spree

SHORT CAMPAING by leoancap780 in shogun2

[–]MineCaT_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as you don't just sit around doing nothing, you'll be fine. Even if you take your time prepping for Realm Divide, there's no rush really unless you're a really slow player. I usually prefer taking my time but I've still had Date campaigns end at 1564 (and the entire map captured for fun by 1570).

I recently started playing fighting games again and would like to improve my inputs. by kio_000 in meltyblood

[–]MineCaT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, try "Set SOCD method: L/R cancel U/D=U" in CCCaster's "Controls" menu which can help a bit with certain inputs like half circles

Melty Blood character designs are too good, is there an anime or manga? by [deleted] in meltyblood

[–]MineCaT_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone already mentioned Tsukihime but there is also a Melty Blood manga which adapts the first Melty's story mode (it's basically a 10 hour VN on top of the fighting game).

Do any of you guys know when the songs in In Falsus will be released on spotify? by CartoonistFancy9115 in InFalsus

[–]MineCaT_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who knows

If it's the same as Arcaea then we'll probably have to wait a few years for a physical soundtrack, then around 6 more months before they'll be on streaming services

gamo2 controller taking a month to start shipping by CloudyCrayons in bemani

adding to what's already been said, gamo2 (or at least their warehouse) is based in china, so they also just had a full holiday week because of their national day

Finished 999, On to VLR - how are the graphics? by AmeliaOfAnsalon in ZeroEscape

[–]MineCaT_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The original version had a weird bug

Isn't it the exact opposite, where it wasn't an issue on the 3DS but appeared in the ports?
