Another fun world detail I just noticed while going around buying out shops on W2D4 (hey, I had like 700,000 yen worth of spare pins from the Scramble Slam the day before): the descriptions for all of the Croaky Panic threads are written from the perspective of the quirky old lady that runs the shop and they're kind of great.

Week 2 Day 5 down, that was a nice little breather chapter. Since nobody’s said anything regarding Week 3 I’m assuming next up is the final Scramble Slam (and a pretty short one at that). I’m assuming the final two team members are Shoka and Neku correct? Do they have any particularly useful field gimmicks (like Beat giving you the ability to dash around the overworld)? Also do those weird crystal Noise (the somewhat transparent ones you couldn’t hurt at all) you encountered in W2D4 come back into play/get explained soon? I mostly ask because they strangely just seem to drop the matter entirely right after it happens Larryb fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Aug 3, 2021 |

How/when do you get Ultimate mode anyway? Is it a social link like the other two or do you have to beat the game first?

You can do it pretty easily if you've unlocked 10 chains though it still feels real grindy. I was on pace to complete it with half the areas done but then I got bored from all the fights and decided to rush the the rest and leave getting top score till i'm finished with the game. It's just very long.

Nothing quite like the feel of realizing you won't survive the entire ten-fight chain but you level up during fight eight and make it anyway

Araxxor posted:Cuddly Launcher. I don't remember exactly where you get your first one, but it's not a noise drop. So it either drops from a pig, or is a one time reward from playing the game. You can eventually buy more from a store though. It's an energy rounds pin though. You get it during the final Scramble Slam apparently and it’s on a different button than Topo so no switching required. Now that Nagi and Beat have healing pins/decent attacks while Rindo and Fret are my main strikers I likely should have nothing to worry about for the rest of the game (as I hear the final boss is tedious but pretty easy nonetheless), especially since I’ve still got a few extra party members in my future.

Oxxidation posted:should i even make the attempt to get 1st place on week 2's scramble slam or is this better left for when i unlock ultimate difficulty For me it sucked because oh boy, I really don't like doing back to back 10 chains But like, it was more than do-able. I hit the point threshold around like, the 6th or 7th area and then promptly stopped trying at that point, think I ended up around 415k points? There was a lot of leeway, it's just exhausting fighting that much more than anything Oh and people are right about getting Topo, holy poo poo that pin is excellent. High damage, big AoE, oh and it heals you too so you can top off your health each reduction.

I feel that this game is missing some of the heart from the first game. Each of the main characters went through a lot of growth and were somewhat different than when they first started out. Granted I’m about halfway through so things can change, but so far I’m not getting a sense of strong character arcs that the original had. Again things may change but this game seems more focused on plot than character.

Going through my Noisepedia to see what drops I'm missing as I do a postgame Ultimate lap and there's two conspicuous gaps that I don't understand. Noise no 51 which I think should be (W1D5) the giant golden pig from the Fuya fight, but I've done that fight four times and it's still not there so it might be Another Day thing? But more weird to me is that I'm missing no 79 (W2D2/W2D7) which I am 100% sure should be the first Mr Mew fight considering it's between Susukichi 2 and Mr Mew 2 but it's just... not there.

Not sure about 51 I think the giant pig is just classified as a real golden pig. Might be a post-game exclusive fight. As for 79 yeah, sounds like your game bugged out or something else happened. That's absolutely it's entry. Maybe it's because you didn't get a drop from it or something like that?

Just wanted to chime in that Scramble Slam on Ultimate you don't really have to give a poo poo and you'll get all the points you need and thensome if the first is anything to go by. Ended up with 100k+ with 3 zones leftover and was insta-gibbing the battle field.chlorophylls posted:Character spoiler talk Yeah, Fret's friend had depression and Fret tried to be there for him, check in on him and encourage him- but his friend committed suicide anyway so he just blamed himself for not doing enough and gave up on taking things seriously. It's surprisingly heart wrenching. Ending talk It makes me so mad that Shiba gets away with everything and gets a happy ending after brain rotting Kanon, forcing Ayano to commit suicide by Player and literally everything in week 3. There's leeway into saying Kubo made him do it but poo poo dude that only goes so far. ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Aug 3, 2021 |

Decided to rock up to the post game super boss on ultimate to see what the damage was gonna be on gearing up for it. Two point blank psychic shotgun blasts didn't make his health move and he casually one shot me with a 6k opening swipe. Time to eat some alligators. ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Ending talk It makes me so mad that Shiba gets away with everything and gets a happy ending after brain rotting Kanon, forcing Ayano to commit suicide by Player and literally everything in week 3. There's leeway into saying Kubo made him do it but poo poo dude that only goes so far. More ending talk. One of the secret reports mentioned that Shiba had been running the Ruinbringer scam for long enough that other player teams had already been at it for at least 30 weeks before Rindo and Fret goober in. That's probably at least a few hundred peoples worth of teams, ground down through a little over half a year mostly to conceal that he wasn't backed by the composer and thus couldn't actually resurrect anyone if they won. It's really galling. I mean poo poo, at least Kitaniji was trying to save the city... Caidin fucked around with this message at 14:47 on Aug 3, 2021 |

It's not so much "Kubo made him do it" as "Kubo is an Angel and, as such, his extremely high vibes tend to corrupt the minds of those around him." This isn't just a NEO thing, either, the original game's secret reports mention that Neku's psyche was being placed under intense strain during Week 2 due to being in close proximity to Joshua, noted Composer and also Angel.

Coming down the home stretch in terms of the main story, is there anything I should prepare myself for when tackling Another Day? With my current setup I can now get up to 100+ Groove within seconds multiple times per fight, have two healers, and can cleave through enemy HP like butter (to the point where I now laugh in the faces of scorpions and rhinos). Speaking of which, where do I go during said day to do the final time trial and fight Sho? Also, does completing the former give you anything good and if what I heard earlier about the latter rejoining you is correct does that mean I get a 7th pin slot?

Rhyme is the 10 round super dive over at Dogenzaka, Sho super boss is at the underpass, Coco offers the boss rush over in takeshita. Also you still only get 6 but can choose to swap someone out for him.

The big dive gives out 5 FP a rank, making its completion rather critical to finishing off the social links and thus the secret reports associated, and I think Sho can drop some high power set pins. As a party member he comes back with good stats, and certain pins will only evolve when master by him. But mostly you bench someone else to biggify your numbers cuz math, kid.

Any suggestions as to who to drop in favor of him then (at the moment I’m thinking Shoka)? Also if you bench a party member like Beat, can you still use their field ability while you’re in the overworld? Seconding the comment above though (particularly I want to hear him talk to Beat and Neku)

Ya keep all your map moves, whoever you switch out just hands their clothes and pin over to whoever is replacing them. Yeah everyone has lines for dropping combos with Sho. Beat is suspicious of him and doesn't understand anything he says just like you'd think and Neku is basically "Whelp, guess I'm friends with Pi Face now."

Also it’s weird that Sho has so little story presence in this game considering the end of A New Day (Coco doesn’t show up a whole lot either as I recall until the last week or so).

Question - is the main character more likeable at the start of this game than Neku was? I know Neku eventually developed into someone who relied and cared for others, but he was such a colossal oval office at the start that it was really hard for me to care about him

rindo has a pre-established social life and is much less prickly in general, he's just introverted e: like it's a repeat occurrence that the rest of the party will be chatting about this or that and rindo just mentally checks out and either starts pecking away at his phone or just gets lost in his own train of thought, it's way more mundane than neku's initial misanthropy Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Aug 3, 2021 |

Obviously this means the next TWEWY protag will wear sunglasses because they're unobservant of the world just to make a Three Monkeys joke.

Regarding scramble slam, a weird and niche thing you can do is take a single jellyfish noise and use it for infinite points if you really wanted to. I wouldn't ever recommend doing it, but you can erase the spawned versions for SP and they'll keep spawning so long as you keep erasing them. If you erase the original one, you only get points for that one, though, even though that automatically erases all the ones that it spawned.

Also I apparently misunderstood what multi-wielding pins meant. Rather than one user being able to use two pins at once it actually means that more than one character can use pins mapped to the same button (which is pretty useful to be fair) On another note, how do I unlock Ultimate difficulty (I assume it’s a week 3 social link)?
