Still steep, but I've heard nothing but great things about the game. I'm about 5 hours in so far and it seems kind of incredible.

It was already $30 at Best Buy the other day and sold out pretty fast, so even if they get more stock for Black Friday, you'll have to be on top of it if you want it.

Yeah it's on sale pretty quick, have a feeling this is getting slept on, even though this is easily the best time I've ever had with a Vanillaware game so far.

Story is just nuts, so many characters to pick from and go down paths for, and every time theres a WTF moment that makes you immediately want to switch to another character, or go back to do a different path. It's a huge proponent of non-linear storytelling so far.

After getting last the tutorial I was actually not looking forward to going into the combat mode (they're completely seperated modes that both have progress locks for the other mode), but once I started that I didn't want to go back to the other mode either! Only did because I'm hard locked now until I progress more in the story.

Basically, I've rarely played something that has ever had me this invested and engrossed in what was going on while simultaneously have NO idea what the hell the narrative was, and that's on purpose.

Reporting in at 10.5 hours. 25% story completion, and I think 44% Combat completion. There is story in the combat as well, that's just how the game divides the two primary sections up.

Definitely just don't see how this isn't gonna end up a 5/5 game. Even if the story tanks, which it absolutely isn't showing ay signs of doing anything other than getting more intriguing, I think this is still gonna be a winner in the end.

I can't really talk about the story because basically everything would be a spoiler. Like, literally every aspect of this plot is some kind of head turning moment.

Also, there was a plot revelation 10 minutes ago (I think??) that basically guarantees I'm going to end up going over the entire archive once it's all fully unlocked for hours, and will probably watch every event again.

Also also there are just little "throw away" lines that are making me wrack my brain to determine if they are actually going to be revelations later on.

Like, the entire cast and plot of this game can in some way be linked thematically to another popular film, series, novel, or character, across a wide spectrum of genres. Not in a rehash way, it's kind of the point.

So when someone makes some joke or references something ridiculous, my only thought is "is there a piece of popular fiction or a popular character that would actually make that ending up as a plot point feasible?"

About 70% through the story and I THINK a major game changing event just clicked for me.

I expect that to happen a lot soon.

I've also totally broken the combat by investing all my points into score and EXP multipliers, as well as automatic weapons.

Only heard good things? I finished the game and really liked it, but I almost quit twice.

It was the hardest story to follow of any game Ive ever played and it isnt remotely close.

Im definitely behind on the battles... Ive only done four past the tutorial set.

Btw, is there any particular reason to do them on higher difficulties? I have noticed that the ranks you get are tied to a particular difficulty setting, and didnt know if you get something for beating them on multiple difficulties or something (Im currently doing them on normal but did have to redo one to get the S rank).

There's no actual benefit to playing higher, no.

Here's what I recommend, in this order:

NEVER reset your multiplier to get someone back in who is overheated.

You don't always need to field 6 characters. Most battles can be won with just 4.

Always read ahead for what type of enemies you will be encountering, and try to go for the bonus objective every time. If you can't because a particular character is overheated, come back and replay it later.

Level up the chip multiplier to MAX. Will have to level up Meta Sytem alongside it as you go.

Level up the score multiplier to MAX (you will be able to do both by the end of stage one if you invest)

Unlock and equip every passive ability for every character.

Unlock the Hyper Condensor ability for every character that has one, and then max out the ability that coordinates with their particular hyper condensor. (IE if the Hyper Condensor adds a second turret for the turret ability max out turret for that character)

Invest into demolisher blade and leap attack (better for movement than actually moving) for 1st gens, turrets for 2nd gens, Railgun for 3rd gens, and interceptors and multi missiles for 4th gens.

After beating the first level of stage 2, you unlock the ability to just straight up put points into stats. Only thing to worry about here is giving every character one level into Neurolink, which will allow them to go 3 battles instead of 2 before overheating. It takes, like, 19 more levels before they can go 4 battles, not worth the investment.

Invest into 1 EMP based ability for every character that has one.

After that, whatever you want to mess around with. Sounds like a LOT, but it really isn't as long as you prioritize the chip multiplier FIRST. You want the score multiplier up because it gets you more mystery points, and once you've unlocked ever mystery file mystery points will get converted into more chips.

Im around halfway done with Remembrance now. Shit is getting crazy!

Im kinda curious what order other people are going in. Im roughly rotating to the right through the characters and going until I hit a lock, and then not unlocking anything until I have no characters available (though Ive deviated a bit recently).

Just you wait!

Other than characters that have intentionally high level locks to progress, I stayed pretty balanced. I check the map after every knockback to the selection screen, and if I see I'm still in the same "tree" I continue on. If I've started a new branch, I'll switch it up. I originally intended to prioritize favorites, but the cast ended up being so balanced on their appeal I ended up mixing it up.

Fair enough!

Im currently at 83/71/63 Remembrance/Destruction/Analysis. Ive bought all available files, so I guess I must be getting a ton of them when I beat the game or something? Seems unlikely analysis would catch up otherwise!

Yeah it starts coming I hard with some of the later Remembrance chapters.

Gouto's entire campaign is basically plot dumps, thus the strict progression requirements.
