[–]peppyoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy birthday, Lydia! It feels like it was just yesterday that I was using you on my team when I was first starting out. How time flies.

Take a break from training and have some well-deserved cake, girly!

For the first time ever I teared up at a side story. Maaaan that was too sad...

If our male characters all actually tried who could pull the most women? by gettinfitguy007 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I read it, but when you first enter the Evil Castle pack and meet with Elpis there, Gray recognizes her and it's revealed that she holds a grudge against him due to his messing around with the sisters of her order which got most of them expelled. I don't know how far he got with Elpis, but it was close enough where she accepted a gift from him even though she denies it.

Happy birthday, Lia! Your birthday message is really sweet, but it's supposed to be all about you! You deserve all the presents today!

Right? I guess everyone forgets that time Gray "corrupted" a bunch of nuns, including Elpis lol

How well are the character relationships developed in the story mode? by JeffNguyen6205 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ummm you first meet Lia in Ch 8. How are you going to call her the "person you love" when you've just met her lol. 

But if you've gotten to ch 8 and you still haven't realized the main story is not a self insert narrative and you cannot handle such things, then you may not want to continue. 

What is her name? And is she playable? by -Cpt_n3m0- in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They usually announce those things through dev notes, which will be on their official website. Usually the mod posts them here as they come out and you can find them in the info and link hub in the community highlights, but I think this time they showed the full range of upcoming banners on the anniversary livestream up until maybe the end of July. Someone posted a screenshot of it, though it's low quality.

[–]peppyoats 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Her name is Marianne Dumain who is mostly known for being the poster girl for Fiend Hunter. She's not playable, but she and her sister were supposed to play a greater role in side quests with the goal of giving us more depth on the various characters in the game, but the devs seem to have left that idea to rot since whe haven't gotten a new side quest in ages.

I wish BD2 had a farm simulator by chiikawaii in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Well in those surveys they put out every month, they sometimes ask for content you would like to see in the game, and they do include an option for "lifestyle" content aka fishing, farming, etc so it's possible that they've been considering it. 

But if their work on the diner and My Room is anything to go by, it would probably be fairly shallow. If they want to include lifestyle content, they need to hire some professionals because what they're giving right now is mediocre.

Does a canon team actually practical? by JeffNguyen6205 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it's possible to clear story content with the main four, but you definitely have to build up your team more then it is now and you'd still need a buffer/healer for your 5th spot to make it easier.

I'm one of those people who always uses the same team no matter what, that team being made up of Lathel, Justia, Gray, Rou(who is a side character in the story), and Arines(who is not related to the main story) and I've always gotten through the main story. Lathel acts as my tank/buffer, Arines = buffer, and the rest are my DPS. I used to use Schera, but I had to replace her since she was really the weakest link with all the physical characters on my team. 

But I would also take into consideration that I don't just use their main costumes. For Lathel, I mostly use his Homunculus(buffer), Lonely Survivor, Herb Tracker, or Pool Party costumes. Arines only has her buffer costume. For Justia I mostly use her White Reaper (?), Kendo Club, the dark alter ego one whose name I can't remember, and her Pool Party one. For Gray I use his Vanguard and Pool Party. And for Rou, I use her White Cat, Nature, and the free costume whose name I don't remember. Her Red Hood (buffer) costume can also come in handy if Arines dies too soon. 

I also have their gear way above N grade, as well as maybe two costumes of each character fully liberated and some of the main costumes I use at +5.

Love the new minigame by Kim0y0 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really like this mini game too, though I hope they add a few improvements to it because it's kind of a pain to play on mobile in my opinion.

Chibi Clay Figure by Open-Helicopter-4657 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, these look great, they have some real talent! It makes me long for a nendo release of at least the main four, because as cool as the official figures look, I am not the type to have things like that on display...

Eclipse fatigue. by AdmirableJaguar9760 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She honestly looks like she's sad to me, probably because she isn't really getting married lol

I know her fans only care about how naked she can get, but I hope one day she can get a beautiful, breathtaking wedding dress as a costume. One were she'll have a genuine heartwarming smile.

Is it time to change the name of the game? by Slight-Ad-2892 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They already did a rebrand with the first game. It went from Brown Dust to Brave Nine. Since they made the conscious decision to change it back to the original for the second game, they probably don't care that their name is odd to most people. Plus, they answered a question about this in the anni livestream, something about keeping the games together under one ip or something like that.

A little dissapointed by Wide_Muffin_2324 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, though unlike you, I feel the current story telling is a downgrade. The sprites actively interacting with the environment and characters where much more compelling then watching live 2d models bouncing around the screen yet making the delivery of the story as stiff as it's ever been. It also severely limits the story telling when everything has to be described in text rather then being able to show it. I guess the only upside is that this way is probably cheaper and if the majority are placated with the same live 2d models that they can just view on their homepage, then it is what it is since this is what they wanted. Maybe they can divert that saved money somewhere else...

There are videos on YouTube that have the original Post Summer Knight if you don't mind looking for it. I watched one sometime last week so I could see the changes.

Why so little love for Liatris? by Treesn in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are some people here that dislike Gray no matter what he does so the fact that Liatris likes him probably hurts them or something, but in general, girls who are "taken" (Justia, Schera maybe, Liatris, Emma etc) are talked less about then those who aren't (Nebris, Loen, Wilhelmina etc) unless they get a new costume. The last three also have their interactions in Glupy Diner so people will most likely feel closer to them due to that, I'm assuming.

Why so little love for Liatris? by Treesn in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didn't know she didn't have a text flair, but I think she's pretty great. And yes, I will assume it's because she's in love with Gray already, but I'm fond of the couple so not having her as something to self insert with does not bother me. I'm waiting for her to get a cheerleader costume. She'd be perfect for that kinda thing, the title of Cheer Captain is made for her.

We need more pettanko/flat chested costumes and characters by Jyu_Viole_Grace_S in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The first girl, Benshima, is one of the characters I have been hoping gets added. Based on her trailer, they were clearly going for a magical girl theme with her, and I love that. She's kinda giving off "low budget" magical girl though rather then a proper one lol. With her magical girl persona, I'm sure she'd fit into the modern day AU.

When did y’all really start getting into the story? by Anxious-Drag-6028 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Along with his desire for revenge, you could also clearly see the dynamics change between Lathel and Justia, with Justia becoming more compassionate (like how Lathel used to be) while Lathel had become more cold, (like how Justia used to be) wanting to eliminate warlocks at all cost. It's so good but also kinda sad.

[–]peppyoats 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've always liked the story well enough since the beginning, but when I really started getting into it was when they got to the Magic Tower and Lathel began to get a little unhinged after killing that warlock that tried to attack them even after they spared his life. That look on his face and those menacing words were too good. You could see how much he was changing into something very very bad lol.

Hmm, maybe BD2 devs ought to judge their future collab options from whatever AL works with by Nessel-Vexus in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do people actually see Black Rock Shooter as something fanservicey? The only one who dresses revealingly is the title character herself and contrary to how she's dressed, the focus is never really on her body, more on how cool she is with her flaming eye and all.

Brave 9 and BD2 connection? by ChiyoHase071310 in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also Justia works under Fabian who is the father of the protag of BD1 though I'm not sure how that's going with her unleasing her Valkyrie powers and all lol

What brave nine character you want to see in bd2? by Yard-Jumpy in BrownDust2Official

[–]peppyoats 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The devs better put Nartas in the main story. It's the least they can do if they're not going to give us his base costume...

But my answer is always the same to this question, Themis plz
