anyone got tips for the "restoration ritual' subquest in hichiri-kyou? i just can't seem to whittle their health down quick enough lol
edit: nvm, i figured it out. well, less figured it out, and more accepted that the most boring and unfun way was the path to success

IIRC that's the one that needs you to do a stupid amount of damage, right? You should be able to craft the Forbidden Arts Staff in order to beat that quest if you've done everything else up to that point (not including Tower of Winged Phantoms or whatever it's called)
Get to level 99, which is easy enough (don't even need to boost level up stats with the orbs you get), equip the best attack boosting accessories you have, use an item to boost your attack, and get a charged counter hit with the staff. That should do it. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what I did, and I don't feel like reinstalling the game to replay it again at the moment.

Font is broken. Many symbol read as square and @. There's dude explaining the stuff somewhere in the thread but he didn't explain it in detail. How to fix this?
Been working this for 2 hours. Didn't work at all. Sigh... Annoying as fuck.

It's a locale issue. Run the game with Locale Emulator (Japanese). I don't think the squares and such prevent you from understanding the game, though.

I've done all but didn't work. I ran it with locale emulator, changed my default language for non-unicode program to Japanese, installed JP language pack to windows, the only thing I didn't do was changing default font for the game because when I edit game.dat with hex editor just like the dude with the same problem the game refused to run.
When I say square, it's not just square basically any symbol that's not Abc will be at random intelligible and this game uses a lot of that. The text also spillover from frame.

This game and ExcessM's early pixel art side scrollers were the best. Not a big fan of his latest work

Have you played Super Punch Boy yet? It just got the 2.0 update and has an English translation for it. https://f95zone.to/threads/super-punch-boy-v1-20-excessm.158578/page-6

I'm not exactly into it, I feel like these games are lacking in customization more and more with each game. I got a good feeling that game could be fun, but not as appealing.

If there's one thing that Super Punch Boy has is customization. If that is your thing I highly suggest giving it a play.

Yeah. I've played all of the games developed by ExcessM so far since I'm a big fan of shota games, but I think they're trying way too hard to fix something that's not broken, to be experimental. The animations and character models are starting to get a bit too "stretched" and wide for my taste, the character outlines are weak, I don't like the sense of proportions.
What made Parade Buster and the original One Shota pixel games so great for me was that despite the stiff gameplay, the characters looked just right. Dominant women, but not literal tanks. The animation looped, but it was very clear what was going on. ExcessM's recent character designs and animations are so wide exaggerated that it makes me wonder what is going on at times. Way too much for me.
