They say you have to pay back 100 Ryo in 5 20 Ryo installments, so I'm assuming you need to make 20 Ryo through the orders before this triggers?

I guess so. I've been holding onto like 30 ryo because I was waiting for the payments to show up. But I probably only shipped like 4 ryo worth of goods from Haruka lol. I guess I should get on that >_>

The sales are definitely tied to getting letters saying you owe a payment but I can't confirm that you have to make 20 Ryo worth of sales to get each letter. I got the second letter almost immediately after making the first payment and have a hard time believing I made 40 Ryo worth of sales.

I've still only ever gotten one letter lol, and it was for beating the style masters.

I literally started that one a couple of minutes ago lol. Where do you go after you beat the shit out of him to cure his seasickness? I don't see anyone nearby with a dialogue bubble for the next step

Alright thanks

Nothing like the fucking dealer in Oicho-kabu getting 10-10-1 and wiping out 8000 of my chips in 1 hand >_> Definitely gonna be a reload from me lol. I'll get that Golden Gun eventually

Oh coinky dink. You're playing oicho and I'm playing koi. :D

I know you gave me that koi koi chart, but I still have trouble remembering the cards and hands >_> Oichi-kabu is way easier to grasp because it's basically a weird version of blackjack.

I did beat the easy table at Mahjong earlier which was fun

Oh fuck me, I misread and thought the Golden Gun was 10k, not 100k >_> It took me forever just to get that 10k

Is there a fast way to rack up wooden tags?

I got a good amount in High-Stakes Poker just now. Of course I was lucky to get dealt a good hand. >_>

Also keep winning at games like Cee-lo and Cho-han then back out of them. When you come back, you may have increased maximum bets.

Also also I'm not sure what the max betting is at Chickens.

I read up that max betting on chickens is a good way apparently. I'm gonna check it out and see if it works

lmao, I was doing some chicken races and got this scene

What a great game!

Eh, I tried doing wide spread bets on chicken races but it aint working out. I wish Blackjack was in this game

What's the max bet?

Also lol at people @ing me on Twitter asking me when the guide is gonna be done.

300 tags per bet but you can bet on singles, doubles, triples, and quintuples. If you just do singles and doubles you can spend like 5000 tags

Yea, blackjack in Judgment was wild. There was some pattern that if you got would guarantee a huge win. Makes a hell of a lot more sense than Shogi or Mahjong too.

Does anyone know if farming is completed in real time or do you have to do stuff inbetween?

Welp submitted my first low-key edition of the guide. Still haven't done the first story beat in Chapter 3 lol.

Been doing substories and shooting scarecrows.

I think it's real time. I remember having a scene with Haruka and as she was talking, some of the plants behind her instantly bloomed mid-cutscene lol

Was this actually censored? I hear some people saying it's just Unreal Engine fucking up the fog effects?

Yo, fuck what I was saying about Chicken Race. It's definitely the best way to get tags!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/7/1/AAfWomAAENsf.jpg

Basically, just look at the birds stats before a race and choose a bird that has the best condition and most double circles
Then go to Dividend List and choose every ticket that has that bird winning 1st (singles, doubles, triples, and quintuples). Reload if it fails

You need like 14k tickets to do this fully. But if you can't just yet, just do the quintuples until you can build up tags to do the rest of the spread >_>

Honestly it could be either.

Are people still hounding you on twitter to magically complete a comphrensive guide for a massive game in 3 days? >_>

I think now that what I've got so far is posted, they're starting to get the idea.

Got the Golden Gun

Then go to the Gambling Den near the pawn shop in the northeast and get the Golden Gun for 100k tags

Ooh gotcha. I tried the chicken thing twice and lost everything lol

Finishing the last few Substories in Chapter 3. Hit big on the chickens last night. Also want to advance my place in the Mahjong tourney.

I've been on a major main story pause in Chapter 7 for a few days now. Finished the Battle Dungeons yesterday. You get 20 Ryo every time you beat the final one, and since I'm probably gonna have to do it a bunch anyway for farming materials, that's been where I'm getting my money from. Not much luck with equipment drops, though. Supposedly the Dragon Hawk alone can be sold for like 200+ Ryo.

Interested in that Golden Gun's DPS compared to my Vortex with the greater rate of fire. Gonna have to get me one.

I'm also taking a break at chapter 7 lol. I'm just doing chickens and various substories and friendships

What does reputation do exactly? For some of my regions it's going up super slow and I don't know how to raise it, but I also don't know what reputation affects.

I have no clue >_> There's virtue perks that give you some but I never bought any

I tried to look around but I can't seem to find out what it even does lol. I wanna say that maybe it's solely for diligence rewards to get virtue? Though it would be kinda silly to spend virtue just to get virtue back >_>

It's a ton of virtue too. You have to buy it like 8 times for 1 rank up.

Oh wtf, it isnt a 1 time thing?

I have no clue. Maybe we'll find out in CyricZ's guide whenever it comes out lol

Shah138 posted...

I have no idea where I got it, but there is a hat that shows substories on the map

Fuck, I need that

Welp, found a 6th person with a friendship meter that wants veggies lol. This is ridiculous >_> Apparently there's over 40 people with friendship meters in this game. That's like over half the substories!

NeonTentacles posted...

If this guide I'm looking at is correct, it's a guide for completing a substory that first becomes available in Chapter 5 in Mibu, but you have to do a different quest in Mibu first. It's the one with the "ugly" samurai, and then the bear substory

I have no clue if Rep does anything specific apart from tracking how much crap you've dealt with in that area. I don't plan on using Virtue to buy the rep improvements.

I haven't done either of those. Unless by ugly samurai, you mean the NEET samurai? I did that one

What does the little bar on top of the trooper cards mean?

And how to do you "raise morale" like they talked about in the tutorial?

Those thin bars are the morale. I honestly didn't even take note of the morale system at all. From what I read, it goes down when you activate their skills and when you fail missions. You can regain it by eating.

Ah okay thanks.

I paid off Haruka's debt, but all I got was a cutscene and an achievement >_> Boooooo
