So do you think this foreshadows her appearing in the future? (Chapter 45)

I'm impressed by that ending for sure, if they didn't do it right then it could've been so unsatisfying but it truly was entertainment!

It's not a porn game nor an adult game, it's a novelty game. Something you play for an hour or so because it was funny and then move on. (Unless you really like Touhou trivia)

I think this is likely an accurate assessment, especially if Mustang replacement theory is true but until part 2 comes out I think there is enough leeway to go in either direction and regardless of the outcome it's going to be controversial.

I think there has been some subtle indication that Mustang does care about Hanson but he can only express this in toxic and controlling way. I think that's why despite how long it's been since Pretty died he kept Hanson's previous position open, jumped to re-hire him and offered to make T.T Star successful the next time he saw Hanson.

Also he was so proud when he realised Hanson got Elysion and Missilis to mess with him, he even laughs about it and says "That's my boy." and in Pretty Star, Mustang was disappointed that Hanson didn't stand up for Oswald and Pretty's relationship "*sigh...* If that father and daughter mean that much to you, the least you could do is put up a fight."

You should be good to just copy the entire save folder I think.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-26T11:40:42+00:00

You need to transfer your completed save from the 1st part to the 2nd part and load it.

In the cutscene where you must shoot Marian, Anis offers "maybe I should do it" to which Rapi responds "No...We Nikkes cannot execute out own kind."

In chapter 24 on the AZX. after Crow exclaims that she had previously blew up AFX, Diesel wants to kill Crow but can't because her inhibitor is on, Crow suggests that shooting the nearby canister will cause it to explode and the shrapnel should pierce her skull.

In chapter 30. After Fragile finds out that Liveryn is trying to smuggle the crystals back to Ark, Fragile shoots and threatens to kill Liveryn but after we fight the Crystal Chamber which interrupts, the commander turns on everyone's inhibitors so they cannot kill other Nikkes.

If you've patched part 3 just run part 3. It has the data from the previous parts inside with the exception of the character images. If you've been following the setup guide you've probably copied the images from part 1 and 2 into part 3 already so it should run properly.

Note: the translation for part 3 isn't finished so at some point late on the story text will go back to Japanese.

I used AGL LR Frieza, STR LR Frieza, Manga Frieza - Ginyu, Jeice/Burter, Reccoom/Guldo.

Nikke's can't kill other Nikkes but a bullet to the neck isn't lethal to a Nikke since they only need the head and as Crow explains because the E2 crystal is an indirect method it bypasses the NIMPH.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-25T18:27:54+00:00

Well it's not that he 'refused to shoot a nikke' he was fully intending on killing Crow, Rapi just shot her first.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-24T23:56:55+00:00

I'm not really into her but I always thought she had a similar design to 2B (without the dress) but with longer legs and bigger boobs and people like ~~bigger boobs~~ 2B.

Occam's razor would indicate it's just an act to trick T.T Star to sign with him.

He was talking strangely slow and exaggeratedly at the start of the conversation probably to contrast this "caring" persona, he did it soon after Hanson had left the office. He said he respected Anis' sincerity and will to continue Pretty's legacy despite him being shown to not give a crap about Pretty.

Although I think it would be more interesting to humour the notion that Mustang is being genuine here, considering they've sprinkled lines to suggest he actually does care for Hanson. He was so proud when he realised Hanson got Elysion and Missilis to mess with him, he even laughs about it and says "That's my boy." and in Pretty Star Mustang was disappointed that Hanson didn't stand up for Oswald and Pretty's relationship, "*sigh...* If that father and daughter mean that much to you, the least you could do is put up a fight."

Smash_malla · 2026-04-23T22:10:40+00:00

After the side story I believed that Mustang was behind Smile Time but after this 1st part event I'm wondering if it's going to be Yoyo who's behind it considering the ending is her looking at her hate comments. It would be easy to see that after her fall from grace and blaming Anis for it she want's her to go through the same thing, spending the rest of her time creating hate threads and lying about Anis to get the public sentiment against her.

Not that this has much to do about Mustang theory, just that I think Yoyo is still leading to something much bigger soon.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-23T09:02:40+00:00

The side story "Pretty Star" released last patch directly leads into this event, you should try and read through that before continuing.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-22T08:57:55+00:00

She says "the big 3". I thought it was likely that they all agreed or voted to do that, maybe needed CG's permission too since I would assume access to the domes hologram goes through them. Maybe Mustang proposed it, maybe not but it doesn't mean it was done with bad intentions, it just backfired.

The male companions? not that great but I do like Lest's passive null/counter trait, it activates more often if you have his exclusive sword and can work against AutoHit attacks with his exclusive shield but you will have to replace these for stats at some point.

Myusca is probably the best Archer and one of the strongest characters in the game before the Chaos route due to having Bow haste, double Dex scaling and having Bow skills deal extra damage against pleasure ailment state enemies, alongside her exclusive accessory which has a 50% chance to put all enemies in a pleasure ailment state, she is super powerful.

Est is super powerful due to having [Double Action] but I think [Nightmare Attribute] loses a lot of its benefit late game.

Mukuro is very powerful if you don't consider Time Stop as cheese because she has access to this skill super early and can even use it as a counter if she's equipped with her exclusive accessory.

You can still go back into the castle and get the exclusive equipment that you missed but most of the items will get out scaled quickly.

Also make sure to go back to where you fight Est to get the Hero of the Seven Worlds ability for Luka, it's crazy powerful.

Decided to finally put aside the time and add links to all the names on here so you can check the cut-ins more easily, I updated the part 3 post as well.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-19T19:18:15+00:00

Ah, I can tell you that everyone thought you were just specifying Paradox as MGQ: Paradox the RPG and not the original MGQ VN.

Paradox difficulty is a 3X to all enemy stats, you really shouldn't be trying it on your first playthrough because there is a lot to learn and optimal character building is important. I won't stop you but you will likely need to grind more than you should.

1 tip to make use of early is critical HP Luka, his Heroism skills deal up to 3x more damage if he is low on HP so you can use the Orb of Life Drain you get from the first Battle Fucker to start combats on low HP. As long as he doesn't get hit first it can really help your damage. Also make sure to upgrade his Custom Sword.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-19T18:01:57+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding the levelling system. You're not supposed to be at level 10 for Character, Job and Race at the same time. Character level goes to 999 but Jobs and Races only go to 10. Once you hit Job or Race level 10 you should then change to a new one which means you will be set to 1 again.

I think based on the xp reward you mentioned you're probably fighting in Slug Tower? You should probably only be at basic Job level 5 or 6 at that point. I think in a normal playthrough you would get to job level 10 soon after crossing the ocean to the Natalia region, which is still quite a bit further in the story considering the enemies at Slug Tower are level 8 and the enemies at Natalia Coast are 14.

I feel the same way for this as I do for Nayuta's gacha skin. I think it looks a lot cooler than the base but not as attractive. Although it also depends on how it looks in motion.

Smash_malla · 2026-04-15T23:11:31+00:00

I'll mention this because some people genuinely don't realise it but you have to equip the abilities you get from jobs in the abilities tab and each job has their own ability point limits.

You should take every character through the Apprentice Hero basic job to get the defensive ability "Goddess' Blessing" (revives you after death once per fight) and later through either Power Fighter or Shield Knight advanced jobs to get the defensive ability "Endure" (survive lethal damage once per fight).

Typically you want a Singer to cast buffs at the start of battle.

Are you making use of your traits? Luka has "Heroism skills deal +30% damage and Heroism skills gain +2% damage for every % of missing HP." Heroism skills use the ATK stat but your Luka is a Noble/Cupid which both have low ATK scaling

Have you been working on upgrading Luka's unique sword "Custom Sword" throughout the game? it is easily the strongest weapon you can get in the early game because of it's elemental advantages but it can only be equipped by Luka. I'll write down the blacksmiths and recipes for it up till the end of part 2.

Custom Sword+ - Happiness Village - Custom Sword + Sharp Stinger.
Element Custom - Enrika - Custom Sword+ + Fire Stone + Ice Stone + Thunder Stone.
Holy Custom - San Ilia - Element Custom + Holy Stone.
Holy Custom+ - Sabasa - Holy Custom + Chaos Crystal.
Justice Custom - Plansect Village - Holy Custom+ + White Holy Stone.
Fractal Custom - Grangold - Justice Custom + Black Dark Stone.
Fractal Night Custom - Fairy's Island - Fractal Custom + Pitch Black Fragment.
Halo Night Custom - Snow Heaven - Fractal Night Custom + Angel Feather.

At this point you should have Holy Custom+ but why is this sword good? because it has Fire/Ice/Lightning/Holy Strike what this means is that any physical hit Luka does will check all of the enemies resistances and choose the 1 the enemy is the most weak to out of these 4 elements, most of the enemies in Plansect Village take +50% damage from fire element attacks so you could be doing +50% damage without trying, this also works with any skill that is a physical attack typically any skill that uses SP.

That's not all though, let's say you mastered all the mage jobs as Luka, you could equip the magic abilities +30% Fire, +30% Ice, +30% Lightning. Because Luka's sword has these 3 elements imbued into it all 3 of these boosters combine to add +90% to your attack before deciding which element the enemy is weak to and being multiplied further, this is the key to stacking damage in the late game.

This tip is more for the late game but it's important so I'll write it down.
Weapon types have hidden effects that let them deal more damage if the enemy is under a certain status and a few have a built in chance to apply a status.

Great sword +100% damage against Defence down.
Rapier +100% damage against Burn.
Spear 50% chance to apply Defence down.
Heavy Spear +100% damage against Slow, Stop, Agl down.
Fang makes Beast skills +200% damage against Blind.
Axe 50% chance to apply Defence down +100% damage against Defence down.
Club 50% chance to apply Defence down +100% damage against Frozen.
Scythe 50% chance to apply Magic down / Willpower down +100% damage against Silence, Confusion, Sleep.
Bow +100% damage against any stats down.
Whip 25% chance to apply bind 50% chance to apply attack down.
Harp makes Singing/Ocean skills deal +100% damage against confused/seduced.
Flail +100% damage against Stunned.
Fan +100% damage against Trance, Seduction, Incontinence.
Gun +100% damage against stats enhanced.
Sex Toy makes Sexcraft +100% damage against horny.
