Raitzeno posted:Conception 1 got an anime adaptation which just ended, and I have heard nothing but awful things about it. The few people I know that watched it all the way through did so entirely out of spite for what they'd seen up to the point they decided not to drop it, in order to give it scathing commentary, rather than out of actual interest (or hope it would improve). Apparently Mattero and Chlotz combined are like maybe 10% as creepy as the designated creepazoid character in C1. To be honest, if the game was as bad as the anime sounds - and given the fuckups the second game made, I'm inclined to think the first was significantly worse as a game, even before you think about how it apparently had more than double the amount of dateable girls and possibly more dungeons as well - I'm surprised it got a sequel game at all! Yeah, I'm unfortunately aware of Mana. I did a write up on it when the Mana's Ears accessory appeared, since I had to research what the hell that accessory was a reference to. I skimmed two episodes of the anime adaption and it is indeed pretty garbage. Like I said, it seems they went the titillation route and tried to force in as much T&A as possible. It's one of those anime, which has apparently become a much more prominent thing in the genre since I stopped watching TV shows in general, anime included. I can't even do a Let's Watch of it because it is constant NSFW poo poo that barely relates to the plot at all. But that's also the reason why the first game might not be quite as bad. The anime strikes me as being a bandwagon thing to try and ride similar Queen's Blade style shows which have apparently become a whole sub-genre. There were also some shots in the episodes I skimmed that are flat out made for selling Blu-Ray versions later on. It's entirely possible that they are playing up the naughty stuff in order to get people to buy the game. It is a straight up advertisement for the PS4 port after all. Either way, I made the promise to blind LP the first game if it ever sees the light of day on the North American continent. I doubt it will, but if it somehow does then at least we can all enjoy that shitshow together without anyone knowing what is going to happen. My curiosity for the first game is mostly to see of there were any major gameplay changes between 1 and 2, or even between original and update for that matter. BlazeEmblem posted:Thanks for this LP! Thanks for following along, I appreciate it. A lot of people drop this game early on due to the gameplay grind, so at least I could provide a summary of the actual interesting parts of this game. Now I need to do Archive readying edit work. Then I need to decide if I want to jump straight into another LP. Psycho Knight fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jan 2, 2019 |

No problem! Glad to hear that people got some enjoyment out of it. Planning to take a break for a while, but I'm thinking of maybe filling one of the requests on the LP Request thread. Someone wanted World of Final Fantasy. I had others in mind but they don't seem like good ideas. -Growlanser 4 is good, but hair rippingly frustrating. -Sweet Fuse: At Your Side has a fun premise, but it's an Otome game. Not sure what the demographic is on this site, but those don't seem like they'd bring in much of a readership. -Tears to Tiara 2 was fun, but like Growlanser it can be incredibly frustrating to play. World of FF was a fun ride, and it is one of the only FF games that hasn't gotten an LP here. Sword_of_Dusk posted:Sorry for not chiming in on things. Been distracted with other stuff.

I've been reading it for a while now and I still haven't completely caught up, it's quite amazing for barely 15 pages. Forgot to get to this before, sorry. Yeah, there were a few people joining in discussion, but most of the pages have two or three updates on them. Bonding Events were almost all roughly 36,000 characters, while story updates were usually brushing the 50,000 limit. It's hard to break it up though, because the story segments all happen in update sized chunks and there isn't enough interesting dungeon gameplay to pad things out. That's part of the reason I quickly gave up on posting battle videos. Nobody was watching them and they would have all been very samey. I think Classmanting is just Ruby trying to appropriate the Classmating ritual. I mentioned that Classmating is a neutral term, so it should have been fine to just call it that regardless of what mix of men or women participate. But because Ruby hates Mattero and has this whole thing about herself where she thinks she is the greatest, she probably didn't want to associate her 'masterful groundbreaking science' with the Church. It could also be that she's a creep as well, and that word is just her getting weirdo creeper enjoyment from it. Either way, I would have liked to show it off purely because I'm all about equal opportunity, but Classmanting was entirely removed from the game due to it being an online feature. I guess SC didn't think it would be worth paying Steam or someone for the associated costs. I honestly don't even know if the Vita/3DS feature even works anymore.

I played the normal version on Vita, so it would be nice to have some new content. I would probably try and do that one as an informative LP though. Conception 2 was easy to do as a humerous LP because Wake is kind of a blank slate, but I feel like trying that with WoFF would be unwise. I wouldn't take it really serious or anything, I would still have fun with it commentary wise, but I don't think I'd inject my own dialog into the characters. First I need to edit this LP, though. I emailed baldurk with a small question, but I need to proofread and remove all the voting sections before I make an archive request.

Personally, I'm really just glad Narika didn't win the vote, even if you liked her the most. I can't stand people like that on a completely personal level. I'm really not a fan of that whole "Yamato Nadeshiko" cultural stereotype that I think she's supposed to embody. What I always tell people is that when I want a pet, I'll buy a dog. A good and healthy partnership is between equal partners and "romance" writing that glorifies an unhealthy relationship with an immature child-person who needs their hand held every moment of their life, that always just strikes me as... creepy. Just creepy. Looking forward to seeing the bonus features of the alternate paths that you said you're going to do.

Cardiovorax posted:Oh, I'm really not complaining. I wouldn't have minded a bit more general discussion, because those are always half the fun of a good LP, but this game is incredibly niche and somewhat creepy to boot, so can understand why the thread audience was somewhat smallish. Still, you did a really good job, although I personally wish you had done a bit more creative writing in the style of that first Zorro interlude. I thought it was really funny and was a bit sad when everyone told you to cut it out. You have a good grasp on how to make the Star Children sound appropriately silly and childishly cute. I had fun with those segments, but I also understand that my goofy fanfic writing isn't for everyone. I already took a lot of liberties with characterising Wake, so when people seemed kind of lukewarm about the skits I decided not to overdo it. That's also why I backed away from doing dialog for the heroines early in the LP. The character thing is totally fine. Everyone has their personal view on different archetypes. I go over it in the Character Analysis at the end, but I personally hate Tsundere characters. I recognize that a lot of people love those types though. I was personally dreading the prospect of Serina winning and was relieved when the thread seemed to overwhelmingly disapprove of her. Writing her route in detail would have been a chore. Watching her route was a chore for me honestly. I also think you might be mixing up Narika and Torri in the second half of that comment. Torri is the character that needs constant care and hand holding every second of her life. Narika is the wallflower that wants to not be a wallflower. She's actually the least hand holdey of the heroines since Wake doesn't do a whole lot in her route. Psycho Knight fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Jan 3, 2019 |

Cardiovorax posted:No, no, I do mean Narika there. When I said hand-holding, I mean emotional hand-holding. Torri is bordering on needing an "assisted living" program. Narika is the type who I would tell that I don't think she's developmentally ready for a relationship yet, not with that kind of dependency and insecurity issues. Huh, I never saw that at all. Narika isn't the least issue prone heroine, but she's also not the most. Ellie is the worst in that regard in my opinion. Fuuko is also really bad for it. But hey, everyone has their own interpretation of characters.

Sorry, but I'm a little bit confused by this discussion How exactly did Narika come across as an "immature child-person" to you? I could see that applying to Torri, but not really Narika. And I'm no expert on the Yamato Nadeshiko, but the idea behind them is supposed to be "Silk hiding Steel", at least according to TV Tropes. They're rather similar to a Proper Lady, which I think would actually apply to Feene more than Narika personalitywise, but that's just my opinion.

Dunno, it just stuck out more for me with her. That whole "can't say no, constantly seeking approval, needs you to emotionally support them in everything they do" feels more pronounced in her. As Psycho Knight pointed out himself a number of times, it seems to be a consistent issue with all the characters. She came across as the most passive and weak-willed of the group to me, though. She's certainly the only one who might have easily been read as having picked up a drug habit just to cope, if the cursed jewelry peddler hadn't gotten to her first. Mind you, this might just be me. I find that type of character a chore to read about whenever I see them, so those traits might feel more exaggerated to me than they would to someone else.

She's certainly the only one who might have easily been read as having picked up a drug habit just to cope, if the cursed jewelry peddler hadn't gotten to her first. I don't think she would have resorted to using Trigger. As desperate as she was to change, she is also the most pious of the heroines, so I doubt she would have turned to that. She also does adhere to rules and regulations, even if she might be a little flexible with them. Official Wake doesn't assume Trigger, that's just something I wrote up (partly because the game does make you think that's what is happening).

They're rather similar to a Proper Lady, which I think would actually apply to Feene more than Narika personalitywise, but that's just my opinion. The two share similarities, but I agree that Feene is a little closer to that trope. Narika's submissiveness and doormat qualities are slightly more complicated than simply her being unable to say no. She does find it difficult to turn people down when they ask for her help, but part of the reason behind that is her desire to better herself. She's reluctant to accept the Strategy Conference thing, but it's an opportunity to get out of her comfort zone and improve. As soon as she takes the responsibility on, she gives it her all and doesn't back away from it. There's also the fact that she is involved with Church volunteer work, so her not saying no could be due to her belief that people should help others in any way they can. I can definitely see where Cardiovorax is getting the vibes from, but I don't really see her as matching the trope. Feene is closer. She starts out with the ability to say no to people, but she quickly turns into a doormat herself. Psycho Knight fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jan 4, 2019 |

She develops away from that near the end of her arc, but the problem is that it's at, well, the end of her arc, while I found Feene (for example) likable right away. For what it's worth, part of why I find Narika so much more bothersome is because I think she's written in a way that's much more down-to-Earth and relatable than most of the other girls. Ellie, for example, is a Magic Inquisition Zombie. Even if she's a creepy stalker, the situation surrounding her makes it hard to take it seriously, it's just too distant from any real experience. Narika's problems, on the other hand, are real personality problems that real people have. I've met people like Narika, and drug abuse as well as unhealthy relationships often ended up being a large part of their lives, so I feel somewhat uncomfortably reminded of that. quote:I can definitely see where Cardiovorax is getting the vibes from, but I don't really see her as matching the trope.

That's perfectly reasonable. Narika's route is one of the mundane ones, even with the demon possession thing. She doesn't have ghost friends to reconcile with, or Church assassinations to balance with her personal desires, or a complete lack of growth like Torri. Those real problems are what I liked about Narika personally.

Dr. Snark posted:This is why you never joke about these things. The Dark Id and his thread kept joking about another Drakenier game during the Drakengard 3 LP, and then Nier: Automata happened. I legitmately didn't think the game would see a release over here for numerous reasons: Sony's recent crackdown on Anime games that come within 100 feet of sexy stuff. The fact that Spike Chunsoft is still new to Western localization. I'm pretty sure that Conception II's sales would not be described as "stellar", as well as the fact that that game is something like 7 years old. Even still, I made the promise knowing that it could happen purely because I did have fun with this thread and the game was at the very least inoffensive (I never would have committed to something like TheDarkID did with Drakenier). The fact that Spike Chunsoft called my bluff isn't what bothers me (well, not much anyway), because a small part of me kind of hoped it would happen. No, my regret for proclaiming a blind LP of the first game is the fact that Spike, for some ungodly reason, chose NOVEMBER to release it. WHY NOVEMBER, YOU ASSHOLES?! November is Pokemon month! I need the first two weeks to get ahead with school stuff as much as possible so that I can vanish from the earth from the 15th to at least the 22nd. Not to mention the ramp up to exams begins right after that. I had poo poo all planned out and now I need to slot in an LP.  SSNeoman posted:Also lol at 'Art subject to change'.

I highly doubt the anime is an accurate reflection of the game, let alone a somehow toned down version of it. There's a 90% chance that we'll be in for a similar experience to Conception II. At least that's what I'm going to tell myself between now and November in order to feel better about pledging to blind LP it. Please merciful lord, do not let the anime be an accurate portrayal of the game. Anyway, Conception II is up on the LP Archive now and my semi-intentional inviting of the first game getting a release has bitten me hard in the rear end by coming out at the worst possible time. Time to close the doors on this thread so that I can try to forget about this for the next three months. See you all in November! Yaaaayyy...

Hello everyone that checked out this new post for some unholy reason! Conception Plus is a few weeks away and I plan to do some prep work for the LP of it that I said I would do. I need some quick input from people though. -Would you prefer that I write dialogue for the main character, as I did for Wake in Conception 2? I don't plan to do any extended skits (since people seemed to hate those) and I won't be writing any major dialogue for non-MC characters (that was a short lived experiment in C2, with the exception of Chlotz). Keep in mind that this is a self-insert Persona style protag, which means his official character will probably be silent most of the time and have very generic things to say otherwise. However, if you would rather that then let me know. This will be a blind run after all, so it may be better not to establish a non-canon characterization. -Do you still want the Team Voting ability from C2? I got a lot of participation in that for C2, but I had also been offering prizes (which I'm unsure of being able to do for this thread). -This game has 13 maiden characters as opposed to C2's 7. I need to find a way to sort out how to narrow that down for ending purposes. If you have any suggestions, then let me know. I am also considering scrapping heroine voting and showing off ALL bonding, not just summarizing.

Even though it’s blind, I think I’d still say to go with adding your own dialogue. It was nice last time for Wake to actually have a personality. Also, voting yes to the team voting. Personally, I think that most things that get people involved make the whole experience more fun.

I say keep the team voting, and probably the heroine voting as well, regardless of prizes.

I say don't kill yourself trying to do all of the dating sim stuff for all the girls on a blind run, though.

I got a bunch of thread participation when I tried a Wild Arms LP last year and I didn't have anything to give away. Sometimes it's just the fun of participating in the LP. I say don't kill yourself trying to do all of the dating sim stuff for all the girls on a blind run, though. Wild Arms has better name recognition than this series, though. It's why I felt compelled to sweeten the deal with the various voting in the first game, because of the small audience I figured it would bring. Participating is certainly fun, but the stuff I needed votes on was pretty central to keeping the LP moving (well, the heroine voting was anyway), so I wanted to get as many people involved as possible by using prizes. The thing with the dating sim stuff is that, assuming the database works the same as in C2, it is fairly easy to grind. The reason I did voting for heroines in C2 is because I thought grinding out all routes required more time and effort, but about 1/3 of the way into the LP I remembered just how easy it was and how little time it takes when you are skipping everything (and that the database tracks everything all the time). By that time the voting had already been established so I just decided to stick with it. The thing about Conception Plus however, is that there are 13 freaking heroines instead of 7. It's almost double the main cast. If the bonding events are roughly as long as in Conception 2, then we'd be looking at stopping at least once every chapter to do something like 8 bonding updates (Conception 2 always had a "Part 1" and a "Part 2" for a chapter's bonding event). Here are the scenarios I'm looking at, depending on what you guys would prefer: All Heroines = Week 1: Chapter Beginning, Week 2: BU1 and BU2, Week 3: BU3 and BU4, Week 4: BU5 and BU6, Week 5: BU7 and BU8, Week 6: Chapter Dungeon + Story End, Repeat Focus Heroines = Week 1: Chapter Beginning, Week 2: BU1 and BU2, Week 3: Chapter Dungeon + Story End, Repeat I don't mind showing every route, but my schedule is much busier this year than it was last year, so I plan to force myself to stick to a weekly update schedule. The max number of bonding updates I think I could fit into a single week is 2, which means following along with every heroine would necessitate about a month between main story updates. Again, this all assumes Conception Plus works the same as C2 (with 13 heroines, there is a real possibility that the bonding events are way shorter or less frequent than in C2, purely because of budget or laziness reasons). So I leave that up to you guys. Don't worry about the workload on me, since grinding out routes should be as quick and easy as it was in C2. Just consider whether or not you want to be breaking from the main plot for weeks at a time in order to follow the random mundane poo poo the heroines go through when not world saving. If you do want to vote on them, then keep in mind the thread will have to decide on 3 characters out of a selection of 13. So it's either a month break between story beats or functionally ignoring 75% of the heroines. Psycho Knight fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Oct 11, 2019 |

My vote is for you to do the thing that seems most fun for you. Do you want to write out 13 plotlines?
