The name is みまもるよる so i'll assume that it's 見守る夜
"見守る" - is more like observing/watching over! While "conserving" still has meaning of "Protect" as well, i feel that it's more along the line of saving?

I would like to consult other's opinion!
In the story Wataru himself introduces Keito as Eichi's right hand and himself as Eichi's left hand, and in his commentary after introducing that he is Eichi's left hand, he says "Together with the right hand(Keito), we're leaving us in your care(Yoroshiku onegaishimasu)". so I feel that Left-handed may not really be what they meant.
Would Clown of the Left Hand/Left Hand Clown be better? or something else... (i cant think of any nice ones that flow well)
I'll try to explain(and maybe analyze) the new event Live system!!! Also use the terms to your own discretion bc there's no official term or whatsoever
Now there's two parts to a Live:
Part 1: Live (Works the same as before so not gonna explain)
- comparing the results the event pts obtained just the same as the previous actually. (so the goal for the *4 and *5 card are now 700k and 1.1mil pts when put in previous system's terms)
BONUS PTS: Extra 20% of base points awarded, accompanied by a card drop or a 200 FP reward. You don't have to do anything.
***The bonus is independent of the encore, and is also given on random
Part 2: Encore
- May or may not happen
- Uses the Main Unit of your Live units (follows the type of Live)
- You have 4 seconds AND 5 chances to "call back" the 5 characters back on stage, by pressing the screen when the roulette spins. After having called a character to stage, their screen will now be dim. If you stop the roulette on a dim screen, it would be a miss as the character is already on stage. It ends when you've used up all 5 chances.
NOTE: Even though it's a "roulette" the characters shown are not in order, so 5 consecutive screens can have duplicate(s).
- There is an Auto button on top right that will do it for you(on random)
- The amount of pts awarded is dependent on the number of people you can get on stage (ranges from 120-350?)
*** The encore bonus is independent of the Live's level
FLOWER BOUQUET CHANCE:
- May or may not happen
- Before you start on the Encore there will be a spinning number and the finalised number (can be 1 to 5) is the number of people you have to AT LEAST clear for the bonus.
- Bonuses are dependent on the type of live:
> Kinkyuu/Emergency Live +400pts > Tokudai/Rare Live +100pts > Normal Live + 50pts
Normal/Rare Live -> (Encore [->Bouquet]) -> { Kinkyuu Live -> (Encore [->Bouquet]) }
Can you imagine how important Encore is when you're ranking during the last moments!! Rank war at borders will give you even more stress and anxiety!!!! :))))
--- Uncertainties ---
- Not a solid estimate for the Encore bonus pts range as i have very little sample size atm and too many factors.
- I can't confirm whether the Encore rates are the same for all 3 types of Lives. Idek the rate bc from what I've seen everyone has varying levels of encore appearances
--- Understanding what Encore does ---
Complaint from TL I keep seeing and took personally(as always): "It benefits the strong teams/old players only!!! What we new players do!!"
NOTE: for the following examples, the encore for Rare Lives I am using is the average 238pts I took from my samples, it can even be higher if you can Perfect Encore easily. It does not include the Bouquet bonus (aka. Bou-nus ;))) jk)
For Rare Lives, the levels 1-15 give you measly pts. If you manage to get an encore, the percentage you get compared to w/o encore is 2380% to 200% (decreases exponentially as level of Live increases)
Ok for example the maximum Rare Live you can clear is lvl 24-25, the base pts are 270 and 309. So the average would be ~290pts. If you manage to get an Encore you will get 82% more pts than you normally would in the previous system for NO ADDITIONAL LP COST!!
The percentage is even greater in the lower levels. It gives you the chance of getting a higher payout. (eg. 21-22, average 193pt base payout, hence 123% more)
For players with strong teams, they can clear Rare Lives at Max Lvl, base payout rate of 600pts. If they get an encore, the additional pts obtained is 40%.
For the bonus that depends on unit strength, I've only noted down variances of 20-70? Which is at most 12% of the maxed out live. Even if you compare a really weak team with a strong team, it would already be made up for as explained above.
It's not about the absolute numbers but the percentage more you can get at your current level.
Thus, it benefits the new players more??!?!!? But ofc it benefits those with good RNG-luck and also those who can perfect the encores the most.
I've put in a lot of time and effort in collating data from Twitter and writing this, I do not expect myself to be able to update it in the future. Someone please do find out the ranges of the Encore Bonus depending on Unit strength.
May RNG-sama smile upon you over the 10 days
Tbh I wouldn't accept anything less than 10 million for Judgement Tsukasa. It's been months, yet it's still the event with the highest cut off. I can't imagine how bad it was at the last few moments, but I'm glad that you managed to make it! And the reward should be given its due value as well, and that is its rarity being only 4,500 people in the world have it. And yea, the norm is now 2LP Rare and 3-4LP Emergency lives now, so even without breaking daiyas players can get 1.5-1.7mil easily.
To me, ranking can never be the same as points bonus, there's so much risk and uncertainty during the event and this all adds up to more stress over the 10 day period. There's no guarantee to where the cut off will end, so you need to keep checking, and with points goal it's so much more straightforward; you either start or not. You can even reach it safely before the event ends. Judgement's increase was 1million on the last day, and reaching 1 million in a day is no joke;;;;
Also I'm pretty sure new(as well as old) players have already accepted that past event cards(or the ranking cards at least) are not obtainable anymore, I don't think it upsets the fans more if they decided not to re-release ranking cards.
And yea, making this an "event" again only sets yet another limited time frame for players to get the story, and new players join probably everyday, so there'll still be people who missed these past events!!
The last time i checked (Early Jan 2016), new players do not have access to the past main event stories if they have not unlocked any story chapter from the event scout during that time period. It's really funny to me, because being a story-marketed game, i thought that they would let players choose what story they want to unlock and read (esp those plot-heavy ones). Keys are very rare so it's not like they can unlock a lot of them fully anyway. (just give keys in event bonuses, HE...)
Probably lots of raging | |||
When you include rank cards back as pts bonus again, it devalues the worth of the card by so much and it makes ranking in the original event become pointless. There are those who fought for a single piece or all 5 pieces, but either way the stress from trying to keep in the tier throughout the event can't be compared to a known point goal(you can decide from the start to go for it or just give up). In every game i've played or come across, Ranking items means a limited number of them are available to people for a limited time, and that's what makes them so coveted and players throw a lot of money for them. There's even people buying accounts for 200k yen but yea that's another world... Being a H E A V I L Y story-focused game, no one would argue the need to make past event stories available again (looking @ u, kenka matsuri), but that could be solved too by giving event keys in current event bonuses, so new players can still unlock past stories, even when these "revival events" are over. They don't need to keep having these events again and again for the endless new players.

(i have yet to reply the other thread about the story writers, cause i wanted to wait for the next event story without my absolute most favourite characters to give a less biased reply and comment. Turns out Yuki-sensei's next story was Arashi's and well... i closed it after the 4th chapter. But anyway I've yet to finish Akira-sensei's White day yet! I heard it's a wild ride from start to end; I'm not ready, i'm never ready)
Original Post: http://gamegift.jp/news/1457610541685913
Note: 復刻 can mean remake, reprint, reissue, reproduce, repeat, etc, use whatever term you want but for me i'm gonna use Revival.
If you scroll all the way down to the section with the CG of Duel! Izumi, it talks about "Revival Events" in the future. These Revival events are the exact same past events made available to players again. The words in pink are worded such that it says they are in the midst of planning, and the dates are TBU. In the next line though it says it is subjected to change.
The event will go on exactly the same as before, you still will get lives in the middle of producer course.
At the current stage of planning, ALL past event cards will be made available as points bonus. However, they will adjust the difficulty to be higher.
As for the ranking card that would be in point bonus, they will adjust the level higher than the ranking before the original event.
They didn't mention more on how it's gonna be implemented, like if you have to go through this event concurrently with the new one (and with only 5 LP???), or if they won't have a new event at that time. Which then brings the question of what would the long-time players do during this time.
Reactions are very polarised: either really thankful for this, or not understanding the need to actually implement the whole event again.
I'll eventually update this post with the other sections(regarding differences in Chinese and Japanese Ansuta, on the topic of Main story and novel stories) of the game gift post.
ahhh i see! that was what i felt too, before i started noting the difference during Agent, so it's only been a while since I paid more attention to the writers. /o\ I really enjoyed Tea Party; I never expected to like a story without my Top 10 this much. ;w;
In reply to the first line:
Warning: Really lots of Negativity | |||
You mean the part about Izumi? I'm sorry if my phrasing made you feel that way. /o\ I don't mean to accuse her of her preferences, but just to point out the fact that Izumi's character in her stories are very different from Akira-sensei's. And I do believe that this is a very big gap in portrayal.
Yuuki-sensei has been accused of exactly that (and many other more things...) by others. I was reconsidering to mention this bit in my post later, but on this topic: one of the people I discussed this with said that a while back, some JP users found out she followed/favourited? the artist who draws R18 Knights, and that caused a big speculation among them if she does insert her own preference into the writing. After this big rumor, a lot more people are paying attention to the characters by the different writers. There's this term "fujo bait" eng comm had been using? She's been called out for it as well. I'm reading more tweets and digging up past matome-s to understand what are the different stances, and I plan to just relay them here for people to digest and form their own opinions. I try not to treat everything I read as the law though, because some opinionated comments were very harsh. (Will take some time... typing it... soon.) I do hope people would think about it first before reading my heavily opinionated post(I'll put a bigger warning up there), because I know how destructive forming your own personal stance after going through collective biased opinions can be. |
If you were unaware, there's actually two different scenario writers for stories! They are Akira and Yuuki Yoshino. Here is the breakdown who who wrote which story so far:
Akira-sensei:
- Main story, including the novels
- Student: Every student's 1st Chapter, Scout with a story *3 cards' stories
- Event: SakuraFes, Marching Band, Circus, Patisserie, Duel, Hero Show, Tanabata, Pool, PirateFes, Kenka Matsuri, Holiday, Judgement, Kungfu, Halloween, Tough Guy, Streetlive(Xmas), Agent, Detective VS Phantom Thief, New Year, Tea Party.
Yuuki-sensei:
- Student: Every student's 2nd and 3rd Chapters, Scout with a story *4 cards' stories(Chiaki, Midori, Hokke, Izumi)
- Event: Butler, Bugeisha, Summer Lesson, Restaurant, Sports Fes, Mystery of the Deep Sea, Pair Lesson, Police, Doctor, Kyoto Trip, Seiyasai, Greek, Chocolat Fes, and current event's story.
I would consider Akira-sensei to be the main writer as he wrote the Main story, and they marketed the game with him being the scenario writer.
So far I've talked to only 4 other people about this, so I hope to get more thoughts on this matter!
Below are my own opinions on the two different writers, and at the end I'll also add some conversations from the JP community I came across. It's very strongly opinionated so do take them in at your own discretion. I hope you can comment your own impression first if you decide to read this!
WOTs AHEAD. | |||||||||
To be honest I've decided to bring up this issue because I just read through the current event's story and I was really disappointed. The first half was just really weird and everyone's chaaracter portrayal didn't feel like them at all. A lot of people expected Akira-sensei to be the writer this time because of many factors that could add to the story progression, like Wataru and Kanta's relationship, Tori's character development and also how Tori/Yuzuru and Ryuuseitai bonded after the supposed Xmas Party that happened after Street Live. In this story, they acted as if that or the Street live never happened?
Writing that I felt were weird with the current event story: - Tori: *end of 2nd chapter* who this. this is really not bocchama. When was he shy around Anzu, this boy has no shame asking for help from Anzu since day 1. Have you seen how he talked to Anzu during New Year's? Or actually ever since Circus??? Really, who is this??? Also in Agent it was mentioned he had been working hard recently by Mao, so i didnt understand this "big shockku" about him actually doing work. And then why would Anzu actually agree to help Tori by disclosing information on weak units. (Duel spoiler) DIDNT ANZU NOT WANT TO FIGHT ENEMIES WHO WERE WEAKER??? Ok she didn't really say anything but her being there, not talking is already unlike Anzu. /Laughs weakly. on the topic of Tori wanting to find weak units to beat, I already saw someone pitying ToriP here. - Yuzuru: he didnt have his straightforwardness, he drones on a lot and his nagging is usually sharp and to the point. Their interactions felt so bland.... Bring back Pool story... My Bara iro no jinsei... - Shinobu and Anzu: I don't understand how Anzu would suddenly be cold to Shinobu. When was she ever cold to Shinobu? And the fact that Midori mentioning how Anzu was probably teasing him out of love is unlike him... Why are the other two RST 1st yrs just letting this go? But Koga definitely is this case though. - Kanata: His lines doesn't have his usual air of simplicity and mystery to it. From a KanataP: was really upset about the story outwardly making Kanata a scary person. The whole image of RST is very different in this story. His talk with Wataru at the fountain had a different air from that of Kenka Matsuri. Probably he only thing cute thing from the story so far: > the heart shaped towel in Kanata's CG is Wataru's Read up to Chap 8 and I don't even feel like continuing any more. I had already felt uncomfortable regarding Yuuki-sensei's writing, one of them would be Izumi's actions with Makoto.

i love my grandson Tori so much thank you HappyElements thank you thanks for the beautiful scout this time too THANK YOUUUUUUuu i hope the main event story's writer is gonna be Akira-sensei....
In the latest game update, they made slight changes to the game art! They made the colouring smoother. Previously there could be some lines visible on the gradients, now it's gone! Also they toned down some of the skin colour to match the lighting of that art better.
And one more small update: you can now see tears welling up in Wataru's eyes in his Phantom Thief CG 8'))
Also do get your account number+password before updating! it seems that some users faced a log-in problem using the iOS version, it's always better to be safe than sorry~
these are the designs and details for the files of the collabs! the cropped info about the V.day event can be found in the Border dakedo's Tweet~
do you have space in your fridge, let me live in there.
ahhh that's too bad OTL
but ah, border dakedo posted the cropped photo on their account: https://twitter.com/enst_border/status/688378791849140224
Maybe Makoto or Hokke? With the Undead scout, Trickstar would be the only unit left which hadn't had an event for a quite while now..... And it seems like they've totally skipped out on their SS live, probably saving that for end of this year 8'D
Ritsu as ranking would cause a war, especially if the rest of Knights are gonna be inside too;;;;;;
Source tweet here: https://twitter.com/pink__buta/status/688373405846913026?s=06 (was deleted, border dakedo posted a cropped photo on their account though https://twitter.com/enst_border/status/688378791849140224)
(it's the description in the right of the photo、the event will be from 31st jan to 10th of feb. the description says all units are busy (making handmade chocolates?!!??!)
The files are really cute(especially the one with all the character's profiles!! they include doodles that go along with the characters...)!!! It's a collab with Ministop convieneince stores so you buy a certain amount of meiji sweets and yea you can get it
MAIN STORY SPOILERS
This battle is acutally DDD!(what it stands for, no one knows...) And yes, Trickstar won. It happens at the end of the main story, and the main story took place before any event stories. Somewhere in the middle mark of the main story after one of Trickstar's dreamfes, Eichi was back after being hospitalised for a long period, met Trickstar, and then sets the course of the story leading up to the DDD. SakuraFes happens right after DDD, then after that it was Circus. It was never stated that Eichi was hospitalised again after DDD, even though it has been mentioned many times in the story that it was common for him to make trips to to hospital after a performance due to his weak body.
A tip to know the sequence of events: Check their seasons! they updated to include it a while back so now you can actually see the season in which what events/stories take place.
(Note: The story scouts that get added recently mostly happen in Spring, and it seems like they take place after Butler event. I'm basing this speculation by the card placement in the album, may not be 100% confirmed.)
Since Trickstar won the DDD, they'll be the main focus of a future (greatly anticipated) SS event called Starfest, so do look forward to that!
(PERSONAL OPINION) I feel the main story painted the studco and fine in a pretty terrible light, but they're developing them and their relationships in events that happen after the main story(see: Kenka Matsuri, Pool and Agent for Tori and Mao's relationship... or actually the whole of Agent for studco.... should i declare that i am a big Yuzuru and ToriP), and it gets quite heartwarming...........
Thank you!! Yea I wanted to share this but I was worried if it belongs here, thanks 8'DDD
I have no idea where to put this?..... but yea here's an interesting interview with the CEO of Happy Elements: http://gamebiz.jp/?p=154520
ATTENTION: Please read on if you want to be spoiled, as I'll be noting some things from that article.
-Points from the Interview-
(HappyEle... why... did you create this abomination of a game.... someone should have stopped them then...)
They have many staff that likes AMG content, so they can observe what types of patterns are usually popular. Hence the characters were designed to fit a wider audience and not just the tall and cool men that are everywhere in otoges. ("頭身が高くて、顔が格好良くて" is his exact description)
E.g,*at the start of development*
- do we really not need the love element?
- We don't need it
- Aa, i see....
(wwwwww)
(the rest of the lines are talking about job-related stuff, which is unneeded info. Cause if you can't read that yourself then you most likely don't fulfill the basic language qualifications to apply for th- I MEAN--- what a lovely day)
oh my god this was supposed to be a super short summary lol.
-Ansuta-related Spoilers from the photos-
- Theme guesses: Phantom Theif(hat and mask), Alice in Wonderland (mad hatter)
- Theme guess: Aristocrats, (a friend mousou-ing him on a white horse wwww)
Should this even be here idk if it's not then someone delete this, sorry for the trouble! idk where to share these things with the eng comm sorry! >.<
@SakumaRitsu hopefully they'll confirm some answers in the livestream next week! there's still the three empty boxes in their plans... *anxious*
