plenty, just search them up
though you could just finish the game once and use the gallery unlocker

Up to you really, compares to how deep down the rabbit hole you are aiming for. You can get a vast majority of the game by itself, but you will not notice the return cameo's and you won't get the history behind Red Hood (who is actually from an earlier game than BS1, the longest running character of the game creator and is the closest thing to the main heroine of BS2) and a certain faction in the game who played a much larger role in BS1 and may seemingly come out of left field without that context in the endings. Finally, the main villain from BS1 will be massively spoiled if you play this one first.

Sorry for the late reply. While not being direct sequels like BS1 and BS2, Takamakuran games are definitely connected. And the connection is definitely deeper than just happening in the same universe.
So, what does getting one of Alice's Spore Forest CG lock you out of?

It's not recommended if you're pathing toward certain events, because it counts toward a hidden mechanic referred to as "progression." It goes up by one anytime you beat bosses, enter certain areas, or do certain things. You can keep track of how much you progressed by looking at the torches in the library. You don't have to worry about this so much. This game encourages multiple playthroughs.
its because talking to her creates a single fog, and there things you have to do before 5 and 10. The walkthrough is careful the steps you take to get most of the NPCs routes while keeping them alive.
So basically, it counts towards progression, and may lock you out of a LOT (like people getting killed and going mad)
Got it, thanks to you both!
It'll only lock you out of 1 thing guaranteed, and that's the first cutscene you get with Holmes and the werewolf at the start, after beating the headhunting beast. That cutscene is also more important then you think, but for spoiler reasons, and it's not important until you're on your final, "real" cycle.So basically, it counts towards progression, and may lock you out of a LOT (like people getting killed and going mad)
Got it, thanks to you both!
In all honesty, I'm not a fan of that guide. The idea of "doing everything perfect on your very first cycle" feels more like a challenge run thing, then it feels like "actual advice players should follow"

So I finished Black Soul I, missed some side quests characters like Hansel & Gretel and Izu, but overall got all the endings.
Now I'm going to play part two, can someone gives me a few beginner tips like e.g
Are the chosen classes/Alice form at the beginning relevant?
Anything I should avoid in case it causes a bug etc.

-Red box at the library interact with it till you get the double souls and item droprate rings. Just like BS1
- 3 Alice choices. Pick your favorite(for now)
-First run go in blind after that look up things. BS2 has a lot more mechanics and world events. SEN being the biggest value
-Chaos Dungeon a Dungeon Crawler is your place to grind and get lots of items if you struggle in the main game. However BS2 also has the hidden rabbit garden which can also help you grind souls.
-Mabel best girl
That is all i can think of atm
I think the only thing that matters in the beginning is if you are trying a true run from the getgo is class and Cheshire gift which usually the Master Key by far is the best thing to get early on
Sup guys, me again
2nd playthrough right now, and yes, I kept following te guide (since this is a game with loads of variables and I lack the time to go through a game's learning curve).
But for some reason in the Cathedral right before turning the switch on in the basement, the plague mask dude or ma'am didn't get crazy.
Is it because I had some item that prevented him going mad? Or did I mess up something?
(Note this run I kinda didn't kill JubJub, just locked her in a cell to get all of her CGs... So maybe someone went nuts, found him and killed him, or he went even nuttier and killed someone?)

No, not especially. Choose whichever you like.
Not particularly. The game is pretty bug free. There are some things that can't be taken back without running ng+ though. The game is designed to be run NG+ though.
Node is a good way to modify your sen. She doesn't mind a little death or rape.
Did you talk to her in lutwidge?Sup guys, me again

make frequent seperate save files, make sure to check whether or not you get a fairy tale from a spirit, and of course, save alice, no one else matters
I was pretty sure I did... But then, she seems to be out of the game, so maybe I messed up
