So, I've just achieved the G ending for the second time (I'd completed the game a couple of years ago before it was translated). Old King's ring with its +100% to magic kind of trivializes the game, it allows you to spam magic and kill any boss on 9th difficulty in a couple of turns all again, just like it was in the prequel (which made the DLC content there just story-only). Buying two of those rings or even four isn't hard in the late game, which allows you to one-shot the final boss. There's also the ring you can get by killing/raping Kuti which gives you +100% to attack, but it's way harder to get as she's tougher than the final boss, lol. In comparison, you can easily farm Candies and buy OKR. Sea God is almost the only boss who can't be easily destroyed on the highest difficulty with Magic+Requiem (which can be supported for as long as you want with Rabbit Watches). I think that there should be a restriction put on those rings so that you couldn't get more than one just like with story-related items. Or at least you shouldn't be able to wear more than one of those. Of course, I can still stop using OP items and put self-restriction on myself, but it is proof of the bad game design. I hope that DLC 3 bosses would require at least some tactics.
Anyway, I'm about to start my final run for DLC 3 content and I want to ask - it was mentioned before the release that there would be at least 8 heroines with 3 of them having pledges, was this promise fulfilled? Because Japanese wiki only tells me about one more available pledge that decreases the damage you take.
