Hello, I played this game many years ago and don't remember the details, but I do have the PC version of the game software and a strategy book on hand.
I am busy with other games, so not right now, but I do plan to do a speedrun in the future, so I have a few suggestions.
Category suggestions
Add categories ”NG+”, ”Wakuwaku Kyojin Land”.
100% definition
・All main scenarios
・All 15 sub events
・All 18 free events
・All magic (including forbidden spells)
・All dishes and recipes
・All items (except items consumed in events)
・All ornaments
・All street names
・All the monster books are filled (PC version only)
100% end timing
100% end timing is not when the boss is defeated, but when the 100% definition is achieved.
There is no NG+ on XBox, so at least for 100%, PC and XBox are separated by subcategories.
There is not much information available in Japan as well as overseas, but there are detailed information in the strategy book, so if you have any questions, please ask.
Thank you!
I wasn't aware there was a NG+ for this. Finding any details on this game has been a challenge. I'll be sure to add it and adjust the 100% rules. Didn't know there was Ornaments to collect.
I can't wait to see a 100% run so I can see what all I need to do. I've been practicing and routing an any% run based off Rudyxx's guide run. I've been enjoying playing this game and hope to do a full video guide on the categories as I begin to understand them better.
And what is Wakuwaku Kyojin Land? So I can understand what that is exactly?
And how do you start a NG+ game?
I'll have to finish a game and save it, haven't been really saving while playing casually to get comfortable with the controls and practicing routing.
So I can get that end game save later this week, but does a new option appear on the menu screen?
Wakuwaku Kyojin Land (わくわく巨人ランド) is a high difficulty mode in NG+ where all characters except Tenerezza become giant.
It can be seen starting at 13:52 of this video.
Oh this is giant mode, I saw this in the playlist guide I've been using. Does it increase the difficulty compared to a NG+ or is it more of a cosmetic change? If it does increase the difficulty, in what way does that difficulty increase?
Giant Mode makes me think of the Giraffe mode in The Crow: City of Angels, where their necks become longer. Though it doesn't affect gameplay.
Enemies become huge, with larger hit box and harder to avoid. This will strengthen some bosses.
Lolo will also become huge and have poor visibility.
That does sound like a challenge and also super fun.
I'll need to get a save to make it easier for people to start NG+ and Wakuwaku Kyojin Land run.
Can you share any pictures of the guide book that could help for a 100% run?
Trying to find anything written is near impossible and finding a reputable seller for the guide book is hard and the few I found are out of my price range for a time.
I am glad there are copies of the guide floating around, so it isn't lost media just yet. Just difficult to attempt to plan a 100% run without knowing where things are. lol.
Though I might be stuck on NG and NG+ run till someone does a 100% run that I can study.
Which... the final dungeon difficulty goes from 0 to 100 so fast. doing a run with hardly any equipment will be a challenge. Thankfully focus on getting that NG+ save so I got the backpack upgrade and just grinding levels. But gotta get better at manipulating the enemies attack patterns. Got the big silver monster near the end of the final dungeon before entering the final boss area to nearly always do their aoe blast.
Anyways, if you can share any pictures of your copy of the guide to aid in a 100% run, that be most appreciated. Though no worries if not. I'll eventually get a copy myself. Just won't be for a long while lol.
