A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

Also, as far as I remember, weapon shops are broken beyond repair? It always counts weapons as one-handed, and assumes you can equip 2 of them.

I mean, when I try to buy a weapon for Gainer, for example, it shows that after equipping it he will have +85 ATK, because right now his hand if free
But the other holds 2-handed flamethrouwer. So when I equip the other weapon, it's no more than +5 atk.
And even if I exchange 2 different 2-handers, the system shows how much stronger they are than a fist, but not compares them with each other.

And if I count materials and their transformation cost, they cost much more than they give.

D's sell for 50, C's for 100, and B's for 250.
Means, their market cost if they were bought, is counted as 100, 200 and 500, respectively. But the transformation goes in geometric progression.
So, even if we buy D's for 50g each, 1 C will cost 400 (2 times more than theory), 1B will cost 2200 (4 times more), 1A will cost 9100, and 1S will cost 37300 gold, which is like 1,5 trust bonds.
So, selling any materials is like burning money to light a cigarette.

And I somehow missed the Squab bow. It's required for Birdslayer, which is already outdated and outclassed by pretty much everything, but I still miss it.

In Genevieve's last lore lecture there's "balance that's been s
truck"
Maybe add another whitespace, so it wouldn't break like this?

(and could you remind me, what happens if you come to recruit Genevieve first, before Emil? Because otherwise they both come together, and I kind of wonder.)

Statistics show that comparing this replay (now before going to labor camp) against last one (stopped before going to Polaris with Oliver) I've played half the time, and did 2/3 of the steps. Even with the occasional material- and level-grinding (I love using hi-level locations like Balfur ruins for that. 40k experience each fight is nicer than 1k) saecillum shield obviously helps.

The thing with Odd Thing Map 5 is me (and other people) counting halfway to the wrong side. It's between crescent and treasure 1, and the iceman cave is between odd thing 1 and crescent.

Also, I wonder if you actually can have 10+ nuts in the inventory. I now have 9 life, 8 mana, 9 attack, 9 defense, 7 spirit, 4 agility, and I kind of wonder if 9 is maximum unused and I lost some.

I've seen speculations about Pallance. How old is he, actually?

Also, about things discussed earlier, i think that Rutger's dismissing mages as powerless is in line with him being a fighter - as long as you hit a mage strong enough, he will go down quickly, and buffed Rutger at that point can OHKO most of the party. Mages are really the easiest targets, with little HP and so on.

And girls' reaction after fight with Diego.. There father just suddenly died, and they stood up and left, because they didn't like staying with his corpse, and didn't know what else to do. Even the burial part comes later than that (I think, it's in Silver Spring)
Good people just die, so why wouldn't bad people also just die?
Being a vegeterian, Mint would probably decline to eat him, I think.

As in the movie plot I've read about recently, like "torturing a man IS bad, and driving him to suicide IS murder, but when it's all AFTER he attacked you with a knife, all of this IS technically (excessive) self-defense".

And I like Furipu's explanation for the Shield mechanics.

Also, a couple map questions, 1) Is the building in the water near Solomon's Furrow the teleporter you use later? 2) So, Corona Lucis doesn't exist on overworld maps, and so isn't reachable by the universal teleporter, only through the old avishunian one? (that also isn't mentioned in the Sanctuary list, I believe)
How does Sanct. teleporter's list expand?

Oops, sorry. My netbook was dying, and I tried to formulate a question quickly.

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

Oliver's identity is still awesomely done.

Also, could you explain what the "mourning vine" lines are supposed to foreshadow? That everything goes down after Act 1?

Gaul says that blood orcs "fight till their dead", I think that should be "they're".
*replaying again with Saecillum shield*

Oh yeah, the info!
Right, thank you very much.

The "It's too dangerous to go inside" location in town?

A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky

Excuse me, I
beat the assassin after teleporting from the tower that flew away. Than I tried using old key to kill that assassin, understood it's too hard, and...

after some real life travelling forgot where I should go next. Could you help me, please?

3 is somewhere when S.S. jut opened, sadly I don't have saves this old..
7 is from the infodump section on anthropology in the %cityname%
Oliver - I mean, there's a section where characters
face their fears. Ivy, Rutger, Gainer, Yvette&Leif. Doesn't Oliver have one?


Also, in %city%, Moira first addresses Gainer as Gainer, instead of Gainsford. Is it character development?

Yumina is a Visual Novel-RPG with dialogs, dungeon crawling and a debate club who use technology to incorporate their arguments and psychic resolve into actual superweapons and superpowers - including hitting opponents with a tennis ball - turned into a star!
For a while, it feels like a chibi touhou fighting in school with cool animations, funny characters, and psychological literal warfare.
and then they bring out mecha-robots

and aliens

and a phantasy magical dimension

It's great, except for optional grinding.

A bit of a list:
1) Swamp runs slowly, sanctuary runs slowly sometimes, silent lake lower-left labyrinth lags horribly. I think it's because it is a giant labyrinth level that, like a swamp, has too many active (green) tiles, that do something as you step on them, because other mazes don't lag. Maybe you could break it into 16 smaller locations? Or nine, at least?
2)One Terranoire villager mentioneos "mountains filled with cole". Coal?
3) In silver springs a character questions BanditKing's plans for giving everyone jobs, using "put is", where should be "us", i think)
4)Lucas sends the party to Corna Lucis - Corona?
5)When Clovis sends to a forest east, it's actually west (west is left, right?)
6)The same with a sign near Dragon's Mouth.
7)Ancient man - men? I'm not sure.
8)Marina's tear: "fills you with confident" -dence?
9)Gaul's "ON tough bastard" instead of One is still there.
10)On a door in old balfur there is some phrase using a verb "question", but I think there is no question. Is it normal to use it like this?

Not a bug, bud is there a save point in Corona Lucis?
Was the "Ready? Debate!" joke from Yumina? Or Phoenix Wright?
Does Oliver have no fear challenge in logos-3?
And
What skill does Brunhilde teach? Is it necessary to finish Phobos' nightmare levels for it? I can't pass parallels at all, it's a shame to lose something useful due to a level that is nearly impossible even when you 1hitKO everything.
