Well, turns out I have to actually finish the demo before playing the full version. (So, this post will have a LOT of dungeon crawling. Let's get started!)
Warning: This game is rated M for mature for Fantasy Violence,
Language, Mild Blood, Partial Nudity, and Sexual Themes. If any of the
following offends you, don't click the link to pass the jump break you
have been warned.
----------------------------------------------------
As promised, we're going to do some more dun...I mean "Labyrinth" crawling. This time I'm bringing Ellie with me. (Is that because my "mom" said she want's to go?) Yeah, pretty much. So, let's go!
Lust Labyrinth 2nd Trip
(Here's something interesting we encountered on the 3rd floor...)
'This may be a trap. Open it anyway?'
-Yes-
-No-
Well... Nothing ventured, nothing gained... And we got a Basic Sword++! (Lucky! Anyway, the finding of this sword will be included in the "results" below.)
Results
Loot: Potion x 7, Mana Stone x 5, Child's Clothes+ x 1, Toy Wand+ x 1, Basic Sword+ x 1, Enemy Search x 1, Star Drop x 1, Basic Sword++ x 2, Might Bangle x 1, Bond Powder x 1, Knight's Belt x 1. Toy Want II x 1, Cross Swords x 1, Star Bomb x 1.
Items used: Mana Stone x 2, Potion x 7, Bond Powder x 2.
Glow gathered: 4307.
Shimo's at Level 8.
Ellie's at Level 8.
Akurei's at Level 10.
Madara's at Level 11.
Thanatos's at Level 11.
Niyagi's at Level 11.
Vash's at Level 11.
Lenne's at Level 10.
Patty's at Level 10.
Ian's at Level 10.
Nina's at Level 10.
And... (*sigh* Everyone's reached their maximum level... Except for Lenne, of all the Star Children here, who's maximum level is nine-hundred and... *sigh* Fraking nine...) So, it looks like some Star Children are going to be gaining their independence already. (Heh, don't worry, if the Pansy or my current forms need their independence we'll "reincarnate" in a sense. Oh, I'm getting a new little sister!) And her name shall be...
'CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ARRIVAL'
Anna: Father...? It's an honor...
(And my new sister's holding a "BP 5% OFF" card.) Well, despite the cool name I gave him, it looks like Madara's getting his independence first...
'Are you sure you want the child to become independent?'
-Yes-
-No-
Like I said, he's reached his full potential. (So...?) Yes.
Madara: Thanks for everything you've done for me!
'Your child has become independent. On the way out, Madara gave you Mind Fruit x1.'
Is this a good item? I'll have to check later. Anyway, time to create a new Star Child for Patty's team. (Hopefully I can be reborn as Fuuko's child... Hopefully I can be reborn as Fuuko's child...)
'Ritual Hall'
(Looks like an event's going on.)
Fuuko: This is the second time that we'll be Classmating, right?
Shimo: Right. I'm sorry I caused you trouble last time. I had no idea what I was doing.
Then again, part of that was because lab technicians made us do it...
Fuuko: Haha. Well, we were just told to hold hands and think about each other. I mean, I'm still not sure what's really going on. I guess we'll just have to keep going at it some more until we're used to it. ...It's a bit embarrassing, though.
(Well, yeah. I can kind of see why...) Niyagi...
Shimo: You're right. I appreciate your help.
Fuuko: Likewise. Well, why don't we get started?
(...It's a girl! And can be a Cleric! Please!? Can I be reborn!?) *sigh* Sure, why not? (Hurray!)
'CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ARRIVAL'
Niyagi: I may not be much, but I will try my best.
(And the new Pansy's holding a "MONEY 1500G" card. At least you're not going to be totally useless.) (Hey! Watch it! You're going to need to be reborn as well!)
Fuuko: Oh... Whew. ...Thank goodness. It looks like the Star Child was born without any complications. I hope it goes this well every time we do it. Hahaha, sorry.
No need to be.
Fuuko: This is still so new to me. I'm just not confident that I did well... I'll read some books and try to learn more about the ritual. I mean, you did choose me to Classmate with. I have to give it my all.
And as Niyagi was "reborn"... (Meaning that my old form is given independence and my new form replaces her.)
"Niyagi": Even if we are apart, I still love you, Daddy!
'Your child has become independent. The city level has risen to level 2!'
Now it's time to restock supplies and get new gear. (Later, at the store...)
Clerk: Welcome. We have everything you could need.
(Shimo sells his old Twin Swords+, a Basic Sword, and three Toy Wands for some extra Glow.) And I'll buy Niyagi a Toy Wand++. (Thanks! But our budget's still reduced to 7926G.) As for items, I buy one bottle of Bond Powder, a Star Bomb, two Escape Hatches, and an Enemy Search. (Which will cost us 1k G.) And that'll be it.
Clerk: Thank you. Please come again.
And I think I'll go hang out with Chloe...
'Faculty Office'
Chloe: Oh, Shimo, welcome.
Female Disciple E: Hey! No cuts! Wait for your turn if you want to talk to Ms. Chloe.
*sigh* ... (It's a repeat event. Better skip this...) (One fetching of something for Ms. Chloe to eat for lunch later...) I not only have enough BP to Classmate with Ellie... (But Shimo's also has the best relations with all the available heroines, at least in the demo. So, now Lenne's team needs a new Cleric!) But what am I going to name this new Star Child? (*LOL* I've got an idea! Why not name him "Noiz"!?) (*faceplam* Seriously!?) Well, it's not like I have any better ideas.
'CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW ARRIVAL'
Noiz: I will give it my all. A pleasure to meet you.
(You seriously named your latest Star Child after one of the potential love interests in a BL game...) Like I said, I didn't have any better ideas for names. Anyway, a pleasure to meet you too, Noiz. (Oh, look! He has a "MOOD UP" card.) And now it's time for Nina to have her independence...
'Are you sure you want the child to become independent?'
-Yes-
-No-
Of course! I'm sure she'll be just fine.
Nina: I will strive to be of use to the city!
'Your child has become independent.'
And, because I think it'd be a bad idea to switch out all the maxed out team members at once. There's only going to be one new team member mixed in per team at a time. So, with that said, let's do some more Labyrinth crawling again! (But with your favorite of the available heroines, my mother, Narika!)
Lust Labyrinth 3rd Trip
(And I thought we were done with the tutorials already...)
[Insert Magic Tansmission tutorial here]
Well, might as well pick it up...
Chloe: Dear God's Gift,
*sigh* I know it's supposed to be a title of honor but... (Still not happy about the whole "God's Gift to women" implication, huh?) Hit... Nail... Head...
Chloe: I felt I needed to speak with you, so I thought I'd try this out. How goes your trip into the Labyrinth? Better than you ever dreamed, I hope.
Well, I do have a thing for being in harms way...
Chloe: You may be the single most determined person I know. I know Alec pushes himself pretty hard, but I think you're more determined.
Really?
Chloe: To be honest, I feel a little spoiled having so many great Disciples. But remember, I'm not just your teacher. We're in this together. We're gonna be together a lot, between our Star Children and the Labyrinths. I'm a bit nervous since I've never done either of those things before. But I'll do my best to show you how it's done, as your teacher.
Thanks...
Chloe: Chloe Genus - Second-Year Teacher
(Now let's get back to the battle with this large monster with the equally large hammer!) Right...
------
(Something interesting we found on the 4th floor...) Huh? What's this...? (It looks like a small black disk in the middle of the floor....or, rather, a hole in the floor with some blue... Something it it.) Might as well see what this is.
'[Spring of Mana] Recover 30% MP once. Recover now?'
-Yes-
-No-
Why not?
'Your party recovers 30% of their MP.'
----
(Another strange event on the 4th floor...)
'Enemy strength is now hidden. This effect will continue on this floor.'
And this means... What exactly? (Oh, it just means we can't tell at a glance if we can instantly curb-stomp the monsters or not.) (Yeah... You're as merciless at this game as you are with games in the MegaTen franchise. Which is kind of overkill with a game like this.)
----
'There is a powerful presence on the next floor. Proceed?'
-Yes-
-No-
(Sounds like the boss is up ahead.) But the question is, "Are we ready yet?" ...I'll say, "No" for now. Let's see, everyone that isn't already at their max levels are near there... And now that I have everybody's health recovered and mana points recharged, I say...
'There is a powerful presence on the next floor. Proceed?'
-Yes-
-No-
Let's do this! (Chums! Leeroy...! Jenkins!) (*facepalm*)
'Asmodeus'
Shimo: There it is!
Ruby: It looks stronger than when you encountered it before. It must have evolved.
[sarcasm] Great... Just, great... [/sarcasm]
Ruby: Be careful, it'll most likely be more formidable than before.
Shimo: I will defeat it for good this time!
(Indeed. Asmodeus, we're going to kick your ass!) (Monster! Not in front of your mother!)
Narika: I'll do my best to help!
Ruby: Listen carefully, Shimo. That monster will use a skill that will decrease your attack power. It also has a high offense power, so be cautious while you fight it.
(Boss fight time!) Narika and I are going to back attack Asmodeus!
'WEAK POINT 1412 ATTACK'
(Well... I'm going to hang with Shimo in the back and also attack.)
'WEAK POINT 398 ATTACK'
(And then Asmodeus attacks my team, ouch...) Lenne, heal Akurei's team! (Right, now I have to hit him at a not-weak point. [sarcasm] Thanks a lot... [/sarcasm] Wait, I could try using an Armor Break attack skill on him! But might as well move out of the direct line of fire while I'm at it.)
'Armor Break 677'
Lenne, you're in just the right spot to hit his weak point!
'WEAK POINT 251 ATTACK'
Then Asmodeus attacks Niyagi's team along with Narika and I. Lenne, heal Niyagi's team! Then Narika and I move in for a back attack!
'WEAK POINT 1412 ATTACK'
(Well, if you die, we can't survive here. I'm healing Shimo and Narika!) And then Asmodeus attacks Niyagi's team. Lenne, heal Niyagi's team! (He moves to attack me, but Lenne's team intercepts saving me... I think.) (It's my turn now! And I'm in just the right spot for a back attack! Nice!)
'WEAK POINT 574 ATTACK'
(It's my turn again? Well... I move to the side and then attack.)
'349'
Asmodeus then attacks Lenne's team. So, I'm going to... (Back attack again? Seriously, Asmodeus is at about one-quarter of his health right now.)
'WEAK POINT 1412 ATTACK'
I've never seen an Offensive Beat in action... Lenne use that to boost the stats of Niyagi's team. (Wait!? Why the Pansy?) She's water element. I figure that something associated with lust would have an affinity for fire. (I see...)
'Offensive Beat'
(Now I have a chance to kick ass! Let's see if a Poisoned Carver does anything...)
'Poisoned Carver 1045'
(Holy... Crap! That's a lot of damage! And he's down for the mother...trucking count!)
(Well, we gained 180 experience from that and 1k Glow from that battle. We got a couple of items as well.) (A Potion+ and a Heavenly Fruit.)
Ruby: Now's your chance! Use the Sealing Matryoshka!
And...
Shimo: We've succeeded in sealing the Dusk Spawner!
Ruby: You did it! Congratulations! Drinks are on me once you get back to the lab.
Hopefully non-alcoholic drinks, we are still too young to drink.
Mark: Uh, Chief... they're underage.
What Mark said! (*sigh* Shimo's always been kind of straight-laced about this sort of thing.) I have no problem with drinking so long as it's done responsibly. (Which means, no binge drinking and/or getting blackout drunk.) And absolutely no drinking and driving.
Ruby: Come on, a little bit won't hurt.
I'd bet that the local law would think differently about that.
Mark: No.
Indeed.
Mark: Shimo, we'd like to retrieve the Sealing Matryoshka. Come back at once.
Shimo: Got it. We're on our way now.
Results
Loot: Potion x 7, Child's Clothes+ x 2, Mana Stone x 4, Leather Clothes+ x 1, Enemy Search x 1, Might Bangle x 1, Basic Sword+ x 1, Leather Clothes++ x 1, Toy Wand++ x 1, Potion+ x 2, Toy Wand II x 1, Official Battlesuit x 1, Tanned Leather x 1, Heavenly Fruit x 1.
Items used: Potion x 4, Mana Stone x 4.
Glow gathered: 1850.
Shimo's at Level 11.
Narika's at Level 7.
Niyagi's at Level 10.
Anna's at Level 10.
Noiz's at Level 10.
Lenne's at Level 13.
'E.S. Savage'
Announcement: Well done on your mission. We are now passing near the Rootstone. It will be visible on the left side.
Shimo: So that's the Rootstone... Where the Star God connects with this world.
Announcement:
The Rootstone is an immense floating stone that houses the Star God's
will. The Church prays to this stone, and the oracles speak to the Star
God through it. The Aterra Church has made its headquarters directly
beneath the Rootstone, as well.
Shimo: I'll avenge everyone, no matter what...
'Laboratory'
Shimo: This is the Matryoshka that the Dusk Spawner is sealed in.
Ruby: Thank you! We're a step closer to peace now.
Mark: Look at this data! The amount of Dusk Energy coming off of the sterilized Dusk Circle has decreased!
Ruby: Why are you bringing that up now?
Because it's proof that we're doing something right...?
Ruby: Enzea's already predicted that result.
Who?
Mark: That was only a simulation, though. There was no way to know if it would actually happen until we saw it in reality.
What Mark said.
Ruby: That's not very scientific of you, Mark.
Huh? That at least sounds sort of scientific to me.
Ruby: The calculations we make allow us to make conclusions that put food on the table. Shimo, you did well today. Make sure you get some rest and prepare for the next one. Oh, and...
Yes?
Shimo: What is it?
Ruby: You only get to enjoy your youth once. Make the most of your time with your friends.
(Ha-ha! Shimo usually shows up as a teenager whenever he moves to different worlds, so he...) (...or she...) (...gets to enjoy his...) (...or her...) I'd go with "thon" in this circumstance... (...youth multiple times!)
Chloe: So, how was it? Let's go over what you had to do... "Forge deep bonds with the heronies"...
Check.
Chloe: "Classmate to produce Star Children"...
(Check!) (Most definitely, Check.)
Chloe: "Investigate the Labyrinths with your partners"...
(Not just "check" but done with MegaTen quality efficiency.)
Chloe: You've gotten a taste of all the most important parts of the game!
(Hey! Chole just broke the fourth wall!)
Chloe: In the full game, you can take on more powerful monsters and complex Labyrinths.
Chlotz: And in the full game, there are heroines even better than Ms. Chloe!
(Ooooh! Klutz just broke the fourth wall as well, but also indirectly insulted his sister! I'm predicting there's going to be some punishment involved!)
Chloe: Chlotz, knock it off. Aren't there more important things you should mention?
Chlotz: Yeah, yeah... There's also loads of equipment and accessories! Tons and tons of skills for you to use in battle! An intuitive city leveling system!
Yeah, I also got a taste of that... Sort of.
Chlotz: A deep story with lots of characters!
(According to some reviews, your mileage may vary about the depth of the story...)
Chlotz: "Conception II Children of the Seven Stars" Check it out!
I already have the full game. I just have yet to use it in the Let's Play.
Chloe: That's the end of our demo. You can use your save file in the full game, okay?
That's what I plan on doing.
Chloe: Now then. I hope you will return to this world as God's Gift.
... I still don't like how that title sounds.
------------------------------
(That's how you're going to end this post! Complaining about your title in the game!?) Well, at least this means that we can start using the full game in the next post. (Bring on the monsters! We're going to eventually curb-stomp all of them!) See you next time!
