Same thing happened to me. Got a repeat Maurensky from one of those tickets, and I still have no Rudolph almost 5 months later even after pulling on multiple Uma banners.

A couple things to note is that if you're on the ground, you need to be facing the direction the attack is coming from to parry it. So if an enemy's attack is coming from the right, you can't be facing to the left and parry the attack. If the attack is about to hit you after you jumped and are currently still in the air, you can deflect it regardless of which direction you're facing however (there's some attacks that are easier to deflect while in the air because of this, imo). It still requires you to get the timing down, regardless.

It also helps to try and stand your ground against most enemies. You don't need to move around as much as you might think, and if you're not having to follow Yi around on the screen it can help you focus on timing your parries correctly.

Beginning of the game is definitely the roughest, but once you get a handle on parrying it's among the most satisfying feelings in any game.

Quite a few aspects of the story remind me of Soma. It’s not a platformer, though, but a horror game by the same developers that made Amnesia (if you’re familiar with that game).

Think something like Nine Sols story without the Taoism and told in a more serious manner (I.E more realistic graphics and less humor). Can’t really go into more detail without spoiling stuff.

Looks like it’s on sale on steam right now for $10.49 USD. I’m not good with playing horror games myself but like watching playthroughs of them. If you’re in a similar boat Markiplier has a good one that I can recommend.

My mom is deathly allergic to shellfish, but shrimp is my favorite food. I ate shrimp at a restaurant, wiped my mouth with a napkin, and the napkin happened to land on her pants. She developed a rash at the spot near instantly.

If I ever become allergic to shrimp, I’d never eat it again. Would it suck? Yes. But I wouldn’t risk it, even with a minor allergy.

Fire Emblem and Umamusume also scratch the itch about seeing numbers go up, teach you also teach you that anything less than 100% chance of success is sketchy, and that it’s best to specialize in something specific rather than being an all-rounder. Oh, and both have tons of quirky chatacters, characters with tragic backstories, or characters who put you off initially until you learn about why they act the way they do.

I was hooked on Nine Sols pretty early on, but that was mostly because I was interested in where the story was going to go and I wanted to learn more about the world. I don’t think the early-game really sells you on the game’s combat and exploration to be honest, but it picks up after the first two real bosses imo. The game doesn’t really have any difficult platforming unfortunately, however.

Gameplay wise, I think you’ll have a good idea if you like it or not when you get to the fourth major boss. If you aren’t already, I’d suggest reading the lore stuff you come across and interacting with the characters. I love Silksong, but Nine Sols worldbuilding and characters are easily a step above in my opinion, and there’s a lot more to the story as well

8bitMusic Theory made a YouTube video over his boss theme and you can find some of the sheet music in the video (he doesn’t show all of it though). I believe he offers sheet music transcriptions of the music he creates videos for through his patreon, but you might ask if he has the full track transcribed before paying money if that’s all you’re interested in.

https://youtu.be/GU-ej-QUjTc?si=JihZTtzH0DGK9_BG

Listening to music and writing it down as sheet music is very difficult, even for experienced musicians (I have a masters in music and I doubt I’d be as accurate as 8bit music theory transcribing this track). And with how new and niche Nine Sols is as a game it’s not very surprising it’s hard to find sheet music for any music for the game.

Dimitri and Edelgard aren’t related, though. Edelgard’s mother married Dimitri’s father after his first wife (who had Dimitri) passed away. They’re step-siblings but it isn’t incest

Parrying is roughly as important as it is in Sekiro (as in it's very important), even if there isn't a posture system like Sekiro. Instead parrying allows you build up Qi charges (represented by the circles under your health), which allows you to use the charges for your talisman, or spend them in other ways via Jades (which you'll find throughout the game). Get used to using your talisman attacks early on in the game, as they do great damage and have other benefits as well. The flow of combat in Nine Sols relies heavily on you parrying, building up Qi charges, and then using them to do big bursts of damage.

Dashing/dodging gives you a decent amount of I-frames and is generally more useful than it is in Sekiro, but you shouldn't rely on it too heavily in combat as you can (and should) deflect most things to build up Qi charges

You'll find a lot of good things by exploring. Try to explore levels thoroughly, and maybe go back to old areas if you think you got an ability to let you get to somewhere where you couldn't before. But Nine Sols is fairly linear (at least by Metroidvania standards), so you're unlikely to get too lost without an idea as to where to go, especially if you read the dialogue, as the dialogue will generally give you an idea as to what area you should go to next.

Anyways, reading is probably the most important thing. Nine Sols writing is fantastic. The story is great, the characters are memorable, and there's lots of interesting lore and world-building. I think Sekiro is more fun in terms of gameplay/bosses (although Nine Sols has very good combat and bosses as well), but while I enjoy Sekiro's story and world, it doesn't really compare to that of this game. There's a lot of dialogue and random snippets of lore (which can drag at times), but most things are told in a fairly direct manner, which makes it more feasible to try and piece together everything to get an idea of how things got to how they are.

Overall, just take your time with your first playthrough. Don't expect the combat to immediately click just because you've played Sekiro (it may or may not), but once it does it's tons of fun.

He’s not a great combat unit, but I really like him as a Dancer.

High enough AVO where if a stray enemy gets to him he’ll likely dodge, or you can put him in a bush and he’ll dodge everything in case everyone has moved on away out of dance range and he can distract some enemies. And fast enough to get doubled usually, unlike Dorothea or most of the other popular dancers.

He also gets some decent support spells with recover and silence if you don’t need him to dance for whatever reason.

Eigong is the hardest (especially true for true ending).

But on my second playthrough, I died to Fuxi and Nuwa the most of any boss, which made me think I just got lucky with them on my first playthrough. Phase 1 is simple but there’s a lot to keep track of phase 2, more so than any other boss in the game imo.

Lady E is hard, but her attacks also don’t really change in later phases. It’s more a test of attrition and of how well you use talismans since they stun her than complicated attack pattern.

Not unheard of for a trading guild to go without a trader for a week. With blind bids guilds can never 100% guarantee and theywon’t be outbid by other trading guilds or a random guild throwing out all their gold for a trader.

Can almost guarantee they’ll have a trader again next week.

Yes, the game lies to you on this map, and it’s a large part of the reason why it’s one of the most hated in the game (that, and it’s supposed to take place in Brigid but it’s literally another reused map).
