I just got this game today and I played for a little bit then saved my game and quit out...later I came back and hit continue and it loaded my game but it just dumps me back to the character creation screen when it loads. What the fuck is going on?

Select the main character you were using?

Ok, so if I select the same race it will let me pick up my main character...why in the hell did they set it up that way? That seems really weird. Why not have starting a new game and continuing an existing game be seperate menus?

Because, as I understand it, everything is shared between main characters. If you beat the game with one character, then select another, you can use all the party members/equipment/etc you had with the previous MC. Hence why everything has to be on the same save file.

I see. That's pretty neat.

Did my eyes deceive me or did I see a version of this on the iPhone App store?

Yep, it's there. I don't know if it's actually XSEED's version though. No other logos other than Acquire. It's a little clunky (and buggy), but fun.

[Augemitbutter]

i wonder if xseed will bring the next PSN game anytime soon?

i'm hungry for some wizardry. i realise the EU version has not been released yet.

[cj_iwakura]

Just picked up Red Shadow of the Sister. I'm probably the only person here who cares, but how's the story to it? I enjoyed Labyrinth's story tidbits a lot.

Also, someone from XSeed was willing to share jokes regarding Town of Forsaken Spirits with me via twitter, so hey, they know it exists. :P

The story is a lot more present during the actual dungeon exploring, which is cool. Some creepy moments too. Beware though, it's much harder, especially towards the end. And watch out for the huge glitch. (I posted about it earlier in this thread.)

[cj_iwakura]

Oh my god, that final boss.

Hello difficulty spike.

YOU ALL DIE. Ow.

[Augemitbutter]

i cared about the red sister expansion until i got the glitch. now i can't find time and appetite to boot it up again.

[Tizoc]

The game is on EU PSN now with a demo/trial.

Watching a video of it on Youtube to see what this plays like.

[Augemitbutter]

hopefully xseed can start talking about their sequel plans soon then.....

[charlequin]

"Sorry guys, we don't do sequels. Please look forward to our next game whose followups we won't localize!"

[Augemitbutter]

"Sorry guys, we don't do sequels. Please look forward to our next game whose followups we won't localize!"

there is more truth to that than i'd like to realize.

[Hi2u]

When is this out in Europe? I loved the one on ps2. Had fantastic music too.

According to the blog it's out today as a trial and unlock...

[Hi2u]

How is the soundtrack in this one? Is it as good as bu'shin?

Recorded this a few days ago; this is Town of Forsaken Spirits if you want a taste of the sequel. (Japanese PSN demo.)

XSeed is still localizing Acquire stuff, and XSeed mentioned this game(in response to me) on Twitter, so they know it's out there. Let's hope.


Hi2u: No. God no. But the music it does have isn't bad.

[cj_iwakura]

I decided to man up and try to finish this game, partially out of whimsy, partially in hopes Town of Forsaken Spirits is coming soon.


Red Sister? Deep Levels? EFF THAT ISH.


Good god. I'm getting wiped on 1F.

I'll stick to grinding in Shi'in's.

[cj_iwakura]

Oh my god is tithing broken. Why wasn't I told!?

[cj_iwakura]

And I just beat the game, FINALLY.


Heck of a fight, but spamming Smite and Ice Magic made Temptuous Rex into ash. :D

Kenji Ito composed the theme music. No wonder it's so good.


I'm ready for that sequel now, XSeed.


Red Shadow? Brrrr.

I LOVE that creepy art of Demi-Samantha that I saw on 2F. Someone find it!

[Augemitbutter]

need more info about the follow-up game already. when?

[cj_iwakura]

It has to be the Acquire game XSeed's bringing out. They wouldn't do just one game in the Renaissance and ignore the rest of them.

I really hope so, too. The second game seems just full of mysteries.

[Augemitbutter]

didn't know they hinted at some Acquire game recently. sounds good.

[cj_iwakura]

Question from someone at another board, maybe someone here knows?

My trophies are bugged I think? I've finished all the scenarios and haven't gotten the "savior of the empire" thingy...do you know why that would be?

[Seraphis Cain]

Question from someone at another board, maybe someone here knows?

I'm pretty sure you need to actually finish the game with every character, not just clear their personal scenario. That's the only thing I can think of.

[cj_iwakura]

I'm pretty sure you need to actually finish the game with every character, not just clear their personal scenario. That's the only thing I can think of.

I finished the game with each character. All the quests, and then rescuing the king, etc. But if you go to the inn and look at the album, there's a "clear type" thing, with portraits of each of your scenarios. I've gotten all the trophies for clearing those scenarios, but because I deleted the characters, I no longer have those portraits there. I hope the portraits don't unlock it. That would be awful.

I assume he's screwed.


On a lighter note, once I finish the walkthrough stuff(few more hours of work), my FAQ should go live.

Put entirely too much work into it so far! (Wouldn't have it any other way.)

[cj_iwakura]

So hey, I wrote a FAQ.
(Don't ask how long it took.)

Enjoy.

[Jucksalbe]

Nice. :)
Too bad the only I still have left to do in that game is the DLC.

[cj_iwakura]

I'll be doing a FAQ for that too!

...once I finish it...


Still, you might find useful info there. A lot of it this thread contributed to, technically.

[cj_iwakura]

I just killed the halfway DLC boss.

Yikes. She pulled out all the stops.

If main hadn't done 3 1k hits in a row(I don't know how), it might've taken me another half an hour. She had like 4000 HP, I think.

Not to mention the mummy army and high accuracy death magic... yeesh.

[sat0sh1]

any one still playing ? I know that I am late to the party.

After 3.5 hours with the demo, I had to buy it.

I just bought this 2 weeks ago and have got 35% of the trophies, I am loving this title. I am trying to finish 10F at the moment, and was wondering about the DLC.

I think that I'll pick up the trials DLC which is cheaper, after I've completed the "Story" with my first character. Then after that I was going to get the Deeper "Red Shadow of the Sister" since I read that was quite hard.

I also had a quick play of the demo of the second one - prisoners of the lost which seemed very interesting.

[Siyou]

how much is the DLC on this game exactly?

[Augemitbutter]

have you checked the store? the only worthwhile dlc is the expansion imo.
