Report Pikmin404's Profile

That was already revealed in the prologue...We met 2 of them so far but those might have all been events so I guess you missed them. Pink haired girl is a phantom thief and had a whole event focused on her. Other one just showed up at the end of an event as a teaser. Not sure any of them are actually working together on anything.

Wow that is literally the biggest waste of gem's I've heard of. None of those things are worth it at all other that maybe stamina refills in some situations. Gems are your waifu currency, you don't wanna be wasting them on things you can get for free tomorrow. Bounties are just some extra resources at this point since you can craft any material you need or buy from the total assault/events shops.

Well English is already my second language in case you didn't know. But I've been learning it from TV shows since I was 3 so a very different process. I know it's a big investment so I'm thinking I'll start after I graduate university hopefully in a few months.
Yes you're right about the censorship at the source but right now we're getting stuff like FE:Engage getting MASSIVELY censored in the West. Trails series not as egregious but still bad. Then you've got Pirconne global being shut down while the Japanese version would be fully playable if I just understood the language. Other gacha games that don't have English version in the first place.
The censorship might be creeping in slowly but it's already fully infected the west so at least for the time being you could enjoy Japanese games in a better form than what you'd get in English. Also while mainstream big budget games might get censored, indie stuff and visual novels are probably gonna be here to stay for a long time. Hey you've played Black souls, you know exactly what I'm talking about. That creator's not censoring shit. It would also be great to play Monster girl quest paradox part 3 without waiting years for a translation.

In my opinion the biggest reason not to (other than time investment) is AI translation tools. If in 5 years you could pop a game into some program and it shits out a perfectly good English translation that's as good as anything a human could do, that would certainly reduce the benefits of knowing Japanese.
Thanks for the link but I pretty much got that order down already. The biggest obstacle to start is learning the moon runes. After I memorize those then I can start learning the actual language. I remember there was some game that's suppose to let you do that. I think this was the one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/438270/Learn_Japanese_To_Survive_Hiragana_Battle/
Not sure if it would work but might be worth a try. It would be so fucking cool if it did.

It's pretty easy for me not to spend gems. I just check if there's an Atsuko banner. If not I don't roll. Simple enough. At this point I'm just hoarding currency in every game except Honkai Star Rail where I rolled yesterday for this pink haired girl https://honkai-star-rail.fandom.com/wiki/Fu_Xuan

Of course I remember it. It was less than a year ago and the series fucked me up pretty bad. I might have ranted about it to some other people but I think you're the only one of my friends who's actually played the games.
I'm right with you on that one. Doubt I'll ever fully get over it. It's up there with the AoT ending except I only knew the characters for 2 months vs 10 years so the emotional investment was different.

For Sora no Kiseki you should be fine with the official translation since those are old games. I played this version and it was fine: https://nyaa.si/view/1038509
The rest might be iffy but I'm pretty sure every other title has a fan translation so you can just play that. I didn't even touch the localized Kuro version and they haven't even done the 2nd game yet. Hopefully someone will fan translate this new one too. Although I am seriously thinking about learning Japanese so maybe I'll be able to play them on release at some point. I think the Fire Emblem Engage thing pushed me over the edge.

Yea that is some disgusting luck. Normally on those dual banners you hope to drop at least 1 character off pity and then you can select the other so you get both for 24,000 gems. That's what happened to me this time although I've certainly had even worse luck than yours in the past. For example I went to full pity for Midori and then they added her as free character like 2 months later. That was just dirty.

You're actually getting 100 free pulls for Ako so hey maybe you can get her for free. Or at worst spend 12,000 gems. But the Hina banner is double drop rate with all those god characters as potential drops. Absolute must pull. Last time I got S.Hoshino at 40 pulls but kept rolling anyway for the frebies.
My biggest issue with Neru is I just don't like her design. Her personality is whatever. Toki and Karin are my favorite C&C girls.

Yea I know those 2 were part of the closed beta and artwork of them was on the game's loading menu for a long time. It's so weird that it took this long for them to be playable. And the other one still isn't. From what I remember they were in the "go home club" but idk if that's still a thing. I'll probably want both of them eventually.

Uhmm you're one of the few people who should know my thoughts on Junko considering I was sending you live updates of my Danganronpa progress while I was playing through the franchise. She indirectly killed Sayaka and then directly murdered Chiaki in one of the most brutal ways imaginable. A disgusting bitch of a character. Whatever sick fuck created her deserves the same fate Chiaki got. That sounds about fair.
I know both Junko and Kirara are based on some stereotypical Japanese popular girl trope which is why they look similar but hopefully I can get past that and not subconsciously hate her forever for something she didn't do.

Btw weren't you gonna play The Legend of Heroes games a while ago? They just dropped a preview for the new game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnzBiTduoUc
Altina's in it so I am pretty excited.

Yea there's a lot of great characters but at the same time none that stand out as a clear favorite. Whichever one happens to be on my home screen is probably my current favorite XD
I have a Wakamo from her banner. Her swimsuit version is unlimited (can be dropped off banner) but I've had no luck getting it. You kinda showed up right after reruns for both of Wakamo's events so bad timing on that one. The first Wakamo event for valentines day so you'll probably get it back next year. The 2nd one is a summer event so maybe they'll rerun it or add it as a permanent event when the Hoshino (swimsuit) banner comes back in a few months. It's the one right after the Ako (dress) banner.
But at this point like half of the limited events are just permanently available now in the event recap. Compare it to Genshin that never does event reruns.

Toki was another of my favorites so I got her bunny outfit too. Have the Karin, Asuna and Akane ones as well. Only don't have Neru's because I don't like her. I kinda still hate Rio because she tried to kill my Alice but agreed on the other 2. I'm sure they'll all be playable eventually.
Btw I also want this new girl https://bluearchive.fandom.com/wiki/Yozakura_Kirara but she reminds me of Junko so ARGGHAHGASHdasfasa.

Hmm, I've been playing it basically since launch so over 2 years now. It was recommended and I guess the aesthetics caught my eye. Also Ui was getting released in Japan and I thought her gloomy design was really cute. Overall it's a pretty F2P friendly gacha game and you get a boatload of characters for free. You just have to consistently play so you can get them little by little from the shop or hard quests. Another great thing is they do a lot of character outfits/variants so the older characters keep getting content and remain relevant.
I got both Railgun girls just because why not. Like you said the banner might never come back. I did get Miku back in the day but she's one of the worst characters gameplay wise. She's just been sitting there for 2 years since I played her hangout events. Mika's one of my favorites so of course I have her. Looks like she'll be droppable on Hoshino and Hina's outfit banners but I'm not sure you can select her from those unfort. I guess you can just roll and try your luck since it's double drop rate and those special banner characters are always OP so it's fantastic value.
I do have Yuuka (sportswear) too but mostly for the gameplay. It's honestly so hard to pick favorites in this game but I love Miyako, Hina, Shiroko (especially Terror), Mika and a bunch more I could list. What I most want to roll for next is ATSUKO!!! since I fucking skipped her banner initially, had 0 luck dropping her normally and they took their sweet ass time with a rerun. After that Hina (dress), Fuuka (new year) and then saving for eventual Kisaki or the Fox squad or something. I love every single Fox squad girl and absolutely want all of them.

I spent the last 2 months rewatching Bleach and then finally watched the new seasons. Kinda sucks since it's still not done so after all that I can't even see the ending yet. But yea the first season was pretty good with Yamamoto's bankai and all that other stuff. Second season a bit less so but still good overall. I finally saw the part where they censored the fanservice around Orihime's new outfit that everybody was talking about. Got to see Nel immediately which was nice. Also Bambietta was cool af but got fucked pretty quickly unfort.

Looks like you're getting into Blue Archive now. Are you playing the game or just watching the anime?

You must have used a guide to get that no? I cleared DLC3 blind first and then replayed it one more time with a guide to get Gerda as an ally. Actually you would have missed her normal interactions if you followed the guide and skipped them. There's something more to consider replaying. Also whichever route you picked between lion and unicorn you could do the other one now.
On my blind playthrough I completely missed the bottom section and ended up killing the lion immediately which kinda broke the game and made me skip both routes. Was kinda weird since they started referencing dialogue/events that didn't happen. I've never seen that Carnacki guy in my life. He just wasn't where the guide said he would be. No idea why.

F95 zone is like the biggest English website to download H games so might be worth making an account. Or if not the game is called Red Riding Woods so you can find a link elsewhere.

The last DLC ending is definitely more depressing than the original true ending where Red Hood comes back smiling after you escape but the creator is setting up for the next game which is suppose to be about her escaping hell or something. So her being dead doesn't mean she's out of the picture by any means. Hopefully the same is true for Mabel and some of the others. Btw did you get the Miranda scenes after clearing Chaos Dungeon? After that if you do ending G again she'll help you and some parts will be different. I recently found this out but Victoria also has some extra lore if you talk to her after beating the bloody angel from DLC3.
There's also some more variations of DLC3 like you can pick between the lion or unicorn route and there's a few allies than can join you for the final battle if you do the correct steps. It's Gerda, Florence and some other guy.

Sounds like you haven't played this first game yet so there's at least something if you want to fill the Blacksouls void a little bit: https://f95zone.to/threads/red-riding-woods-final-eeny-meeny-miny-moe.34159/
Other than that yea there's probably a bit more to explore like that princess route but then you're in the same boat as me waiting for the next game. The creator has a dev blog here but you might need to make an account: https://ci-en.dlsite.com/creator/6414/article/953807
It should be out soon in Japanese and then who knows how long until a translation. If you don't end up accessing the dev blog, here's this art of Mabel in a swimsuit he put at the end:

I've played TH16, but don't have a favorite there; haven't played anything past it because Touhou is unplayable with the keyboard I currently have and I don't want to buy a new one since I have no other issues with it. Decimals are whatever, played them, but if I remember correctly never finished.

The blue-haried list was mainly cosmetic and based on the joke that I often end up liking blue haired girls, e.g. Laura from kiseki, Meiya from muv-luv, and many others. Generally speaking, I don't "rate" them, it all depends on how I feel about them in comparison to each other. Theoretically, I could create ranked list as well and it would look like this:

The absolute number one
Shizuna

Precious ones
Laura, Kageaki, Haku, Reinhard, half the Kiseki cast, etc.

Then there would be a list with many anime characters I like but don't consider among my most loved.

Who would you put into your list of favorites? Photoshop basics aren't that difficult to learn as long as you have minimally good hardware and have a way to get the software.

That's great, hope you like it.

Yeah.
Unfortunately I could only add up to 50 entries.

btw Kotori in favorites 👍👍

I turned my game on and confirmed a few things. Going through Chaos dungeon does indeed give you a fuckton of souls so as soon as you're able to clear it I suggest using that farming method. I don't know if this is the case immediately or if you have to beat the boss first but Mabel will sell you this ultimate version of the black soul:
And after you're done with the dungeon there's also this door on the left:
It lets you fight some bosses in succession and at the end there's story plus an end game item for completing it. That one's way shorter than Chaos Dungeon. It's a DLC3 door but I think you're expected to fight it at endgame DLC2 levels.

For Chaos Dungeon yes, there's story and you get Miranda. You just have to keep going until the Old king of chess shows up as the boss (I think around floor 200). Ignore the Space-time dungeon. It's useless.

You mean strategies for grinding? Do you know the hidden rabbit room? You can fight those and then buy either colored souls from Node or black souls from the conductor at the train station. For Chaos Dungeon you only need ~5K stats as long as you're using good rings and stuff. I can show you my full build if you need suggestions. That was my farming strat up to the end of DLC2. After that I don't remember if you get a ton of souls from the chaos dungeon itself but generally yea, farm a ton of souls, buy tainted black souls from conductor, consume for stats.
