Forgot that Zan had come out.

>not making use of Atuy's chance to keep going after an attack with pure spec into damage for a rape machine

Also is that engame story or postgame (the actual challenge) setup ?

Either way i'm too lazy to check, may later

As much as I love the series I really wish for a pc release or modding feature for the maps, it has one of the most autisticly in-depth systems i've seen yet the maps often don't make full use of it. To be fair that would make it too hard for >90% of players but damnit I wanna take full advantage of the feature.

Atuy best girl and Haku best MC even if hakuruou was a bit more badass initially.

I can unironically say that this was my favourite game series and it kills me that more here haven't played it since it avoids the common tropes so many whine about, 10/10 would orbital strike innocents again

I've had the second and third game on my Vita for a while but have yet to play them. What do you find good about them? Also here's a review of Zen.

Care to explain? Sounds interesting.

Cute doesn't need to be realistic or complex.

>Care to explain?

To properly understand you'd need to get to Munechika's Trials in the second game or check vids of them Basically every character has an autistic level of possible skills and combos, all variable to zeal levels and elemental types with variable attack ranges based on attack type/character/height levels. The trials are essentially challenges that double as a way to show of the insane shit you can do like having a single character tranverse a full map with multiple height levels and elemental obstacles and kill multiple characters while guarding off many making use of complicated skill usage not just attack/guard

For instance even simpler tactics involve cancelling mid combo to save up zeal for an extra turn that can allow use of exclusive skills which can have variable effects based on enemy type or to set up for futute turns or character combos.

Sadly most of the main game isn't hard enough ( not easy though) to make anywhere near full use of this system, although the post game for both has much harder challenges and battles for every single map essentially doubling the effective gameplay content.

I don't know if the remake of the original Utawarerumono has this since moonrunes

>>15527680

Just use cheat engine if you don't wanna replay or wait for a possible english release of the remake since it has better combat

Try to get the physicals with the artbook and mini-daki both are pretty damn good.

Zan takes place during uta2 and uta3.

The Story

Starts off as SoL and then shit gets real. Then it gets exponentially more real. Lots of twists. It's also full of humour and touching moments.

Think about it this way: uta2 is a set up / intro to uta3. The setup itself is fantastic, and uta3 is even better.

The Characters

They're all likeable. Every last one.

The SRPG Portion

It's just pure fun. Every units are well thought out and unique. They also grow with new abilities and possibilities as they level up throughout the game. The only regret is there aren't more of battles in the game. Post game challenges makes up for it.

I thought uta1 PC was much tougher though. You'll die in the first stage if you aren't cautious. I also could NOT beat stage two without losing once in hard mode. I also has fond memories of having to hide my units in the gaps between two houses in order to survive. I ended up using cheat engine on my first play through around carrier arrival because I didn't want to grind and just wanted to get on with the story.

>>15527680

uta2 translation was okay. uta3 translation pissed me off. Wish there's a button I could press that swaps between Japanese and English text.

>>15527680

>Thinking of picking up The Two Hakuoro's and Mask of Lies physical.

Do it. There's a sale on VGP.

I'd recommend the PS4 as the 3D in Vita looks a bit like a jagged low resolution mess. $30 each with art book + pillow case is nice.

>>15527702

>I don't know if the remake of the original Utawarerumono has this since moonrunes

Pretty sure they updated the battle system to match uta2 and uta3. I read complaints of it being too easy now, too. I'll move on to that after I finish up the last 6 or so of the extra stages in uta3.

Music

Most of Suara's songs are at least 8/10. The BGM / battle music are fantastic too.

>>15527702

>>15528070

Thanks for the explanation. I'll try out the game today.

>>15528090

Aquaplus makes some nice music. Though I still need to finish To Heart 2. That got translated earlier this year.

>can't fuck the daughter

Isn't pic related considered your daughter too?

MC #2 isn't a manslut like MC #1.

>>15529040

Mask of deception comes first. Importing mask of deception save data lets you transfer one of every piece of equipment earned to mask of truth

>>15529089

Yes.

>>15529321

Yeah it's a shop of pic related although at least there's plenty of lewds in game just no straight up porn.

I have actual pillows of the two artwork pics here with some of the official artwork, imagine waking up to that smile.

>>15529083

>>15531710

There's one here. >>15459199 But this one I'm only 80% sure about this one since there's no audio for me to verify and I'm just going by memory of when I played the jp version.

I posted 2 more in the last vita thread that's since 404'ed. A lot of the dialogs were rewrite tier. The whole Tuskur princess vs anju skit was bad. One of pic related was something along the lines of, "We are merely delaying our invasion until after your inevitable demise." And in the other pic related, I forgot what she actually said, but Iirc she doesn't actually insult the Mikado.

>>15530192

If you have a hacked vita, it's possible to stream the video by connecting to your pc through USB. There's massive input lag though so you'll still need the vita when you combo.

>>15530081

I wish I could get one of these.

So I booted up my ps3 version and played through the last 2 battle just so I can snip this.

The ps3 version's 3d mode seems to have more particle effects and the character models have some kind of shiny metalic effect.

However, the frame rate seems WORSE than the Vita version and the INPUT LAG made getting all of Ougi's hidden crits more difficult!

Its been a while since a game was so damn FUN. Underwater ray romano has a cast of likable weirdos. And the voice acting is top notch.

Otoouu-saaan

>let us run away from you, you cowards

fuck this mission

I just finished the first VN. It wasn't the best I've played but it was enjoyable. It was certainly more dialogue than gameplay, but whatever. The ending left a sour taste in my mouth. The blind girl is dead and Kuuya is forever a retard. A lot of questions were still left unanswered, but I don't care enough to start searching around for answers.

Are the sequels any good? More of the same? Different?

Also, Eru best girl, tied with Touka.
