Yumina The Ethereal
 
Played the game for another 18 hours and just beat the chapter 3 boss(es) and now in the chapter epilogue. I think there's 3-4 more chapters but each chapter and such is really long so I've got lots of time. xD
 
Really loving this game. Shame it wasn't made into a manga or anime.

Yumina The Ethereal

Really loving this game. Shame it wasn't made into a manga or anime.

This game takes forever to finish, tbh. =.= I went through all 3 chapters, all quests, the epilogue, the last floors of every dungeon, got the best equipment and max level for everyone. The only thing I was missing was getting rank 10 of all their skills. =/

 

I personally really like the music in that game. :> Especially "Gravity" and Deele's songs (I'm kinda miffed she doesn't get any H-scenes. ><). The part 2 space battle music is pretty noice too. And yeah, it is a serie that could easily be adapted into manga or anime, since the H-scenes are sort of few (yes, you get quite a few while you're in school, but part 2 hardly has any, maybe 1 or 2 with the route's heroine, and that's it).


Oh, and as for me... Currently playing Wild Arms 4 on my ps2 emu, after failing to emu Wild Arms 3 with a decent enough speed. =( (And yes, I did play Wild Arms 2, but not the first. I wish I could play the 3rd though, it looks to be the closest thing to the 2nd, which I liked)

All 3? There's like 8 chapters lol

 

But I like the fact the game is long, gives me a lot to do and it's quite fun. Really don't like short games. End far too fast.

xD

 

Shame there aren't more h-scenes (and better quality ones at that..) but I think the VN is better off without them. If you're not going to have some quality shots in there, best not to have them at all. As long as there's romance there, that's all I care aboutt.

 

Anyways, after putting in another 15-20 hours I'm now on chapter 6. It's been really good so far. Good music, story, characters and action. Think I've got myself a new favorite VN mooovvee onn over utwarerumuno.

 

After finishing the student council war in chapter 4 with shit then got real in chapter 5.

Oh how i love this game.

Ah, I meant the routes, forgot how the chapters went. And yeah, the space arc is "part 2" and is arguably kinda better than part 1, which is the school, but there's less H-scenes, maybe oonly 2 per route heroine. =/ And it's always with a dramatic setting. =.= And yeah, the music when you fight that Terran guy in his suit, that's "Gravity", I love that one sooo much. X) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFTqB2_Rp6c <- Zis one.


Oh, and Kirara is a kickass loli. :>

here's my second favorite one, by Deele (You'll only hear that one in the Ai or Yumina route, when you fight her*, and it'll only register in the Yumina route): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNacLBfG7i0 (it's longer than the one in the game, btw, which loops after a short while)


Another good one is the standard space battle music, so badass when you hear that plus Ayumu yelling his attacks. X) https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1422327029&x-yt-cl=84838260&v=6-CB6u24m8Q


It was also strangely satisfying beating all the school antagonists cuz you knew you were going to H them afterwards. ;p Especially that siscon's sister, mwhahahahahahaha

I like both so far but the space one is definitely the better one. It's a shame but it's always good to have some srs business in the story to keep it interesting, though.

 

That on isn't bad but so far my favorite pieces are the "In Pain / In Vein" Song that Yumina sings in the space part as well as Deele's song (In the Kirara/First route). Don't know the name of that one but me likey.

 

Indeed she is, or shall we say 'Fake Loli' considering her age and connection to Yumina's mother.

But awesome nontheless.

I'll have to hold off before I listen to those, don't want to spoil the tunes since I'm still on the first route/Kirara's. xD

 

Indeed, a great soundtrack indeed. Hope I can find it and DL it. xD

 

Hahaha, indeed. My favorites (H-Scenes) were the Sakue sisters. Twins man, Twinnssssssssss.

Nayuta takes second in the H-Scenes so farrrr.

 

 

I'm currently 53 hours into it, beat a crap ton of EDs and beat Deele (she was a toughy glad I have a tendency to over train in the ordacle) and now i'm at the point where we be going in Yumina's mind to save her after she collapsed again.

Are you sure you're in the Kirara route? ^.- Her route starts with her trying to kill that uni-horn bastard guy. And you don't even fight Deele in that route. Only in Yumina's and Ai's. :x Do take note not to overtrain in the Ordacle, just clear all the current quests for your level cap (first game is like, lvl 35 or so, second is 50~ and last route will be 75, after that it's epilogue time, which gives you plenty of time periods to train to 100.)

 

I'm pretty sure you're in the Yumina route atm. ^.- Did Deele had to sing once because Yumina's song wasn't strong enough? Then yeah. =/ Ai will also sing in that route, btw. =P And yeah, the twin miko H-scene was yummeh. :> Nayuta was lolzy because you had to expose her having fake tits. X) And then in her H-scene you can choose to give her the big ones she wanted, lol.


Oh, and that Deele song I posted a vid of. It will only occur when you fight her and she starts singing (like Yumina), otherwise you'll get stuck with her "default" song.


Oh and btw, the AI route tells you a little bit more about Ayumu, too. :o (But is obviously more about Ai)

 

And the epilogue kinda takes pieces of all the routes together. >.>


I just love the nonsense they say in the dungeon too. :P Y:"Kirara!"

K:"?"

Y:"Just felt like saying your name!" :P

AHHH FUCK. It seems I acidentally stumbled upon Yumina's route because im now at the point where Ayumu says he loves her and proceeds to do it with Yumina. Maybe it's because of all those Yumina events I clicked during the school portion because I was following a walkthrough because I wasn't getting the chapters I should've been getting (since I didn't trigger the events that unlocked the events needed for the skills). I guess whenever the walkthrough mentioned attending a few Yumina events every chapter, I should've did Kirara events instead.

 

Ah, no worries about the over training bit, I'm only at level 26 at the moment. I over-trained in past Ordacle sessions which afforded me to slack off in the recent ones (since Deele was level 25 when I fought her).

 

Yea, exactly as that. So definitely im in the yumina route. that vid of deeles proves it. Damnit, I wanted to do it in order, Kirara, Ai and then Yumina and get the true ending. Just wondering, but do you have to play them in that order to get the true ending or is any order fine? Asking because some walkthroughs ive read when i needed help mentioned the order.

No worries, you can do em in the order you want. It's just that there might be more boss battles in Yumina's, whereas Kirara's basically only has one big villain that you fight. =/ (That ex-hero dude) The ending to Kirara's is probably the saddest and weirdest out there too. >.>


Ai's the most normal, tbh.


The Kirara route is also fun, because everyone looks at Ayumu strangely after Kirara and him do it. X)

So the order really doesn't matter? You still the graduation and the true end? Which order did you do them in?

Uh-oh, so lots of tragic ahead of me when I do the Kirara route, eh? =o

 

Haha, oh really now> Mhmm go fake loli go!

The order "shouldn't" matter. I just followed the order that was given in the walkthrough, is all. o/ There is the graduation end, yes. Which actually has a H-scene. True end is more or less the epilogue. :o After you complete all 3 routes, you get unlimited time to train in the Ordacle. Yes. You can go in and out and not lose time. :P small spoiler, but you'll also have to re-fight the school bosses at max level. It's really easy when your own chars have their best ultimate skills (the ones with a cut-in, that they get through their routes, Ayumu always gets his no matter the route!) and all the best equipment from finishing the dungeons in the ordacle. >.>

 

And yeah, lots of tragic in the Kirara route. The Ai route is pretty normal, kinda plays into this "damsel-in-distress" plot. You might even guess what the epilogue is about, after you're done with Yumina's route, since it mostly draws from that.

 

Also, Kirara route is best route because she becomes commander of the ship at one point. :P Even wears that cap. Sadly, most heroine routes will have at most.... 2 H-scenes, iirc. And there's never another threesome. Ever. Or even a foursome with the three heroines, which kinda blows, imo. (Heck, even Kamidori has a H scene with all 3 heroines. ._. )

I see, and the true end appears once you've finished all 3 routes, eh? Did you have to save it in the beginning of chapter 2 once done and starting a new route or did you just go for 'new game' on the menu? Asking since in the walkthroughs i've read you new to start a new game through your clear data/save to get the true end or whatever. Also, when you complete a route and start on another, does it automatically change the difficulty or do you need to set it yourself?

 

Mhmm Kirara.

Mhmm Kirara.

automatic change in difficulty, you'll see very fast in your first battle. All enemies will get a small power-up. If you've been focusing on buying and training attack skills first, you won't have any problem, then go for the support ones you use most often, and after that, whatever you want. o/ Oh btw. If you want ez-mode, do Ai's route. Her special skills make all fights so freakin' broken, because she freezes the elemental gauge. So basically, you can have the max amount of fire stuff for Ayumu and 0 for every other elements, freeze it, then just waste all your points of attack for Ayumu's skills, and by the same time, block the enemy's skill usage too (unless it's also a fire user). ^.-


I can't remember if you just go for a new game, meh. But don't worry too much about that, honestly.

I see, so all it is it that the enemies levels just increase. Easy peasy. Ayeeee, I heard about Ai's ultimate mode, can't wait to get that haha. But she has an amazing skill set, a lot of great skills.

 

Eh, I kept my yumina save just in case and decided to start a new game so I can play Kirara's route since that was the route I intended to play in the first place. I guess I just got to limit the Yumina events and just Pick Kirara in the special event days to go onto her route. It won't take long to get back into space. As soon as I finish the training session its off to defeat Nuyuta (again). Thank god for the ctrl button to skip through the text. xD

 

After saving upon entering the training world I decided to take a break and started playing Armored Warrior Iris.

Still in the prologue. Girl just got captured by orcs and about to be sold.

Ohhh yeahhhh

Bahahaha, yea.

You basically choose who she gets raped by. There's 5 endings, 2 normal ends I guess and 3 bad ones.

I assume the bad ones are where she gets raped and dies as a result or something. idk only been through one choice so far lol.

I don't liek rape though. ._. But yeah, about Yumina...

 

When you're low on skill usage points, do you just roam the dungeons for green distortions? Cuz that's really the smart thing to do, tbh. Even if it only regens a few, it's still the only way you can keep on goin'.


Oh and btw. There is ONE quest you will not like. It requires you to get multiple hyper battles in a row. >.>


Speaking of that, I never understood the purpose of the little cosplay thingy they do sometimes at the end of a battle.... >.> I think it's to keep the hyper battle mode ongoing?

 

And iirc, Ai's is her putting on her swimsuit right? If you enjoyed that, I have some good news for ya. ~

Hmm, It seems the mods moved our posts and made this thread, I was like, what the hell, I didn't create this thread!!

I guess it's because we kept talking about it or something, oh well!

 

Not really, I go look for more battles to fight until all my skill points are gone. Whenever I go into a dungeon, well before I go into the odacle, I stock up on mushroom drinks (which restores your skill points) and miracle jars (or whatever), that lets you flee from the dungeons, and other items so i'm always prepared.

 

I've always managed to completed the available quests before I run out of points and need to go back to the main story. I trained so much that I didn't need to go back anymore (aka got level 33) and easily destroyed Karales and the command unit.

Annnnnd I completed the Kirara Route and oward to Ai's route!!!

 

 

putting on her swimsuit? I haven't gotten to her route yet. I just finished Kirara and just loaded my clear data and picked hard.
