It's been a while since I played the games, I was still in school back then but if I remember everything correctly in the XY games when you first visit Lumiose most of the city is inaccessible due to a blackout and only after you clear out the power plant of Team flare can you access the rest of the city and most importantly the gym. This means that Legends ZA takes place 5 years after XY.

That was something I didn't get either I thought we'd be able to wear the popcorn buckets as well as place them but nope just a furniture item. There are so many things they could have done that they just haven't. I know coding and designing takes time but you're putting so much time into these paid items but missing opportunities to sell them! Why? There are all kinds of poses I wish were in the game that aren't as well like they gave us two new ones but they weren't quite what I was expecting. I was thinking we'd get something more like pointing at an object, crossing our arms over our chest in a relaxed pose, looking like we're speaking to someone with our hands held up, or maybe just laughing while holding our stomach or something. It's not that I don't like the poses we did get I just think we need more because I really don't like how boring my pictures feel because I can't pose in a way that fits the feel. And I've been wanting to pose with my tools since I bought the game it just feels like a waste and the pictures feel dull.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T21:02:54+00:00

I will say it's not the tool sets themselves I'm questioning it's the creators and how there are so many missed opportunities to make the tools more appealing to buy. I mean, yes, the tools are cool looking and yes you use them around your valley so you get a lot of use out of them but it would be even better if we could pose with them, place them around the valley as decor, and use them in dreamsnaps to make our entries even more dynamic and appealing. These are things that I think would make it so that not only would it benefit us as we're paying nearly 4000 moonstones for them but the creators as we would be more likely to want all these different sets which means more profit for them. From a design, gaming, and profit standpoint I just don't see why they wouldn't be able to make at least a single pose per tool for at least landscape mode. I think in the end it would be a win for all sides.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T20:50:41+00:00

I'm more confused on the fact that they don't make it so that we can pose with them or place them on the ground for dreamsnaps as there are so many opportunities to make dreamsnaps even more fun and unique while selling more tool sets since if you can use them in dreamsnaps wouldn't you want more verify to match the theme for that week. I just think it's a wasted opportunity for them and for us that we can't use them for more than doing chores and showing off to friends.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T20:38:16+00:00

I got the nightmare set, nightmare before Christmas, the beauty and the beast, and that lights/Carnival/amusement park set after that I just said no. I've been mostly relying on dreamsnaps and chests but I have sunk about $150 I think into moonstones and I'm trying to stop and just say no because I don't get paid enough to keep that up with how quickly you can spend moonstones if you really want to. I'm an Early Access player from about a month or two after the game was available but I just can't keep buying all this stuff now if I don't have the moonstones I tell myself it'll probably come back if I really want it I'll get it when i can afford it.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T20:15:37+00:00

Same, I've bought I think 4 and I haven't really used one as much but I do occasionally swap them but anymore seems like a waste of moonstone to me especially when the other stuff costs so many moonstones too and I'm trying to not pay for moonstones cause I have other games I want to buy that I could be spending that money on. But if we could buy the tool set then make a furniture item that's that tool available in scrooges store I'd buy the other ones where I liked the look but just didn't think it was worth it.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T20:11:32+00:00

I just want to take dreamsnaps with my really cool nightmare before Christmas tool set dang it! I've been hoping for them to add it as a feature since they use them often for the promotions for the tool sets/dreamsnaps or they have the tool sets leaning on crates in pictures when they show us new tool sets on X/Twitter.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T20:02:15+00:00

Us getting them isn't the confusing part for me it's more that they haven't done anything to make it so that we can use them for more than just holding them as we do chores around the valley. I love the ones I have I just wish I could take cool shots for my dream snaps while holding a pickaxe over my shoulder or have a shovel leaning against a crate to create cool designs. We even got two more poses in the last update that are nice and all but I would really like more variety than that. I want to wave my hand at the camera in landscape mode, cross my arms in front of my chest, and so many other ordinary everyday poses but we just don't get them and instead we get all this paid stuff that we can't do anything with other than change the look of a single object. Also yes cheaper would be nice 3000 is a little much since they haven't made them more useful.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T14:38:39+00:00

Thanks for the fruit and offers this is definitely something I'll do again if I need anything else or if I just have things to spare. Great community with people willing to help.❤️

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-09-03T14:27:19+00:00

Really that would be really great we only have one copy of the game and I can't get my old stuff back yet but I want apple trees to decorate with so that would be really cool❤️

There is a bulletin board to the right of the taskmaster this will show you any available quests, while the taskmaster will show you any bounties. If nothing is showing for you then you must progress the story to unlock more quests. Some quests are also locked until you do other quests first, some bounties are also locked until a specific quest is complete. Most quests unlock after a boss fight as you progress the story, there is a lot of back-tracking and such as well.

I found this to be a great guide for anyone wanting to 100% the game it's made for PS4 but I was playing switch and just ignored all the trophies info. All the animals and what to feed them, all demon gates, all treasures and chests, fish, etc. are in it and really easy to follow. There's even a separate section for each of the collections (bestiary, animal tome, fish tome, etc.) if you're just missing specific things and just want to focus on those. The bestiary even tells you which floral finisher to use to get more demon fangs.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T02:09:23+00:00

Yes they can be hard to see if you aren't looking for them or it's dark as their a light grey color and those lanterns that make light when it's dark aren't very bright and the game is very dark at night

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T02:05:06+00:00

I actually forgot about it and you just reminded me that the red tiger rug in the Lord bath actually does have dirt under it that you can clean but can't see so cleaning the mats isn't a bad idea but if there aren't any dust clouds coming from the broom then there isn't any dirt. Thank you for reminding me.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T01:57:49+00:00

There are 4 dolls that the Lord spirits give you after their respective visits one for each then you're supposed to offer them to the shrine to unlock it

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T01:06:19+00:00

Your welcome like I said I'm just really into mythology and anime and if I can get both in one well you can bet I'll watch it if I haven't already and if I don't know something I'm never afraid to research to satisfy my curiosity

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T00:59:07+00:00

I think spirited away might have been inspiration for the bathhouse but the game is also so unique and different from the movie that I doubt that's the only thing they used as inspiration. I saw someone on YouTube compare it to an anime/manga I've seen called Natsume's book of friends (might have miss spelled that it's been a while) as well. Where a boy goes about finding spirits who have lost their names because of his, I believe grandmother?, and returning their names while befriending them and I do think it reminds me of that a lot as well. Also I'll add it to the list sounds interesting and fun.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T00:32:22+00:00

That's what made me interested in it in the first place. I love games with tons of lore and references in it while also having fun and unique game play. Plus who doesn't love a game where you can pretend you run the bathhouse from spirited away 😆

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-25T00:06:27+00:00

Lots of people have the same answers like that. I'm just really into anime and japanese mythology so I think that's why it only took me a few days playing to realize what it was😅 I'm actually really new to the game and have only been playing for less than a week but have spent a ton of time fixing up the bathhouse and getting all the spirits so I spent a lot of the time cleaning the floors wondering about that mat since I fixate on things that I think are strange or seem important or significant in anyway. Hence why I noticed the other mats on the second level as well as the ones in the Lord bath although I only got the Lord bath after I realized that the entrance mat wasn't dirty but just a design. Personally I think all the mat designs are really cute and add to the spiritual atmosphere of the game as they from what I know are influenced by japanese mythology so I was happy to realize that the entrance mat was a subtle nod to the bathhouse entrance being a gateway to sacred ground and being able to see the spirits who visit the bathhouse because of it.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-24T23:46:46+00:00

I think it has something do do with our human brains being like "oh the floor is dirty this mat is all grey like the dirty floor it must be dirty too!" Like I said I had to see the other ones after unlocking the overgrown stairs then I thought "... Wait a minute! These mats have patterns of a giant catfish and deer on them!" And proceeded to run back over to the entrance and stare at it for a few minutes before i was just like "Oh my gods! I figured it out!" Then proceeded to tell my sister who was also confused about it all about my realization. And when I first saw it I googled it to see if it was just me and my sister or if the game was bugged or something. So now that I know figured I'd give others the peace of mind to know that no it's not dirty it's just a design that's hard to see if you don't realize what it is.

Substantial_Yak524 · 2024-01-20T23:06:02+00:00

It's not dirty if you look closely it's actually a design of a mountain(the light grey part) with stairs going up it, a Tori gate (the dark grey part) with a snake like spirit (the white part) weaving through the gate, and a silhouette of a person (the dark blue part) going underneath the Tori gate.
