Five was a typo on my part - I think it's six. ...I think...
Anyway, yeah - for $20, this is a steal. And I know this is gonna' be a really weird comparison, but it reminds me of Okami. Just the most Japanesey Japanese game - the enemy designs, the animations, the sound cues - absolutely lovely. Flavourful.
I particularly appreciate my Weasel familiar's ceremonial dance when I get my family's freak on with a celestial being.
...having the opportunity to type a sentence like that is also, I should note, lovely.

Just tried this, kept going til I ran out of mp for skills. Got like 2700 exp. ( ´▽`)
Easy way to get the "win a battle with 200+ turns" trophy too.

We need some more masculine gods god damnit!! Need me some Fate Night Rider in here!!
I'm a little unsure now as to the time thing I selected. Is selecting the 100 hour time make the game harder or just longer? Can I spend more time doing things in the 100 hour game?
I'm a bit confused about it now, since I selected the 70-ish hour one but now I think I might want to play even slower lol

Just got it, downloading now. Gonna be a fun weekend.
I think slower means easier, faster means harder.
Ooh boy. I think I jumped into the third Seimei fight before I should have. I had to keep healing constantly and weapon attacks barely did any damage. I had to resort to 4x skill combinations to barely squeak by him. I should probably not attempt the next Feast at the earliest possible chance.
Also at one point Kochin jumped in to save my captain (there's a trophy for this too). I probably would have lost if she didn't. Clutch when she needs to be I guess.

Read my mind. Last night I was checking to see if La Mulana EX was available for Vita yet and saw this in new releases. I literally Google searched "Oreshika NeoGAF" to see if there were any impressions about this game.
Bought.
It drove me crazy that the game wouldn't let me take screenshots of its select screen for length, but as I recall the longest difficulty had the highest enemy stamina and the lowest XP multiplier - the shorter lengths had like 80% enemy stamina, 125% XP earned, et cetera.
Longer = harder.
I think.
It is and it's amazing, for real. First time I'm playing the game and I'm having a blast.
You can change the difficulty at any time during the game anyway. So if you need more time in a dungeon you can change it so that time moves slower and then change it back to something faster once you're done.
First upgrade costs 20,000 and allows up to 10 members, I got it just after restoring the second festival.
Final upgrade is 50,000 and allows up to 16 members, I got it between the second and third instrument. It's definitely the maximum cause there's a trophy for it.
See that's just confusing for the way I play games. I play all my games methodically, finishing them ages longer than most people. No matter how easy or hard, I like to languish and really appreciate the level design and art direction.
Chance said:
Wait now I'm confused.
To clarify: both bought. ;-)
Pretty sure it's harder when it's longer. The enemy has higher stamina, giving less exp in longer mode.
You did great, I couldn't make a better suggestion for games.
Network settings finally seem to be working, how do you generate a QR code?
The slowee the mode the tougher the enemies and the less money and xp they give

Guh, the dungeon that holds the second artifact seems impossible for me to navigate. I can't find the dang portal to the Festival.
So now I've spent two years running around the other dungeons trying to get as many keys as possible so I can maybe successfully navigate to the Festival next time. I hope. Ergh.

oo finally, -generates random QR code-
What do these even do?
You go to clan > clan members > select someone > generate QR code
edit: sweet. can finally visit my psn friends lands
and challenge them

Now I can go to Town > Entertainment District > Souvenir Shop > Register QR Codes and point my camera at your QR code. That lets me register your dude as a "candidate for adoption and betrothal," whatever that means.
Btw, PSN finally connected for me!
It means you can either adopt them directly into your clan or wed them to one of your current members to get offspring from them instead of using a God (I believe, haven't actually tried betrothal first hand yet).

That's odd. Perhaps the RNG doesn't like you, as far as I know you can't influence what gender your offspring are.
9 boys and 1 girl for me, twins even lol. RNG hates some of us.
I made my first character a girl (cause why not) and my clan tends to have girls. Not 9 to 1, but a notable amount more.

just bad luck since its random
I really appreciate being able to change the difficulty. When I need to grind for items/money/devotion I can change it to an easier difficulty that nets more rewards (Like Fortunate) and has shorter dungeon run times. When I need to get to the feast of demons I can change it to one that has a slower passage of time but nets less rewards. So useful.

Is this game better than Conception 2?
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
cant even compare the two due to the game designs being totally different.
But it is a much better game.
Definitely. I'm actually having fun with this, whereas dungeon crawling in Conception felt like a chore more than anything.
And I care more about the characters in my clan than I did about any character in Conception, funnily enough.

thats a given with how shitty the gameplay portions of the conception series is in general.
So far I haven't been using magic a lot since I'm wrecking my ennemies with shell based guns. Also all my characters seem to be prone to physical stats. One of my characters seems to have a strong magic affinity but then again, using her physical attacks has been proved to be more effective so far.
Well...the idea was there, and it could be a good game but someone they screwed everything up in execution.
You need to unlock them from enemy drops. Once you get a new one, any new children from then on will be able to be that class.
