I've just got a doubt... when you finish the free roam time in chapter 7 and you start the main plot of the chapter, you are taken to a "space room". So, the girl who takes you there say things depending of what you've done up to that point in the game (I'm using a machine translator that's pretty decent). It seems that if you do the right choices, she will help you and participate in some decisive battle; but if you don't, she simply won't appear and she gives to you some kind of little help...
Alright, this is what's pissing me off: no matter the times I replay the game until this point and no matter how carefull I am with the important tasks (some of them aren't well clarified in the guide and had to discover them by myself) you have to do to avoid BAD END, the message that this NPC gives to me is aleays the same, and it's not the good one... she always say that "you and your companions made wrong choices" and that she "won't participate in the decisive battle".
I've done at least three times these things:
- School teacher every chapter until obtain Real Key.
- Sexual education at hospital every chapter until obtain Real Key.
- Beach H events every chapter (even the double event with Jeanne to update her state like the other characters in Beach).
- Visited Blue-beard at night one time every chapter.
- Done the Anthony's teaching 2 times.
- Completed 5 relevant tasks of Red-Light District and Mercenary guild (obtained the rewards too). This means the Church's Architect, Magellan quest, all the "Eden's" quests... everything.
- Visited companions at night one time each, every chapter.
- Completed the Demon Dragon King's tomb and obtained the reward.
- Obviously, obtained the 8 Real Keys and talked to the archeologist at the Inn each time I found a Neval's Diary piece.
- Intervened with Leanna's sexual harassment quest and obtained the 2nd mansion (New Hamburg).
- Completed every Soren's arena challenge.
- Upgraded the characters' gear every chapter to their maximum possible.
- Obtained the 3 piercing accesories for the girls and the ring for the guy.
- Never lost an H fight.
- Used the Ki Orb every time the game prompted.
- Obviously, unlocked Ki Orb for every character.
- In every key decision, I've always chosen the first option.
According to the guide, I've done every single thing to avoid BAD END and far more beyond that. So, why is this NPC keep saying that I made things wrong? I mean, there's a limited free roam time to do the things, and I've done so many red-light common quests (don't know if these are related to avoid or not BAD END) and there's no time to achieve every thing, you always are missing something... but the point is that the game doesn't tell you what you've missed... and the repetitive Red-Light quests are one of the most boring things I've ever done...
So, up to this point, I'm going to play the chapter 7 main plot right now, because I thought that this time, the words of the NPC would be different. As they wouldn't, I will know if I can reachh chapter 8 or not.
By the way, I'm playing 0.91 version and the most updated english guide I've found is 0.80 version...
If anyone could tell me what am I missing, I'd appreciate it so much.
EDIT:
Alright, chapter 7 done and checked. After obtaining aLl what I wrote before... nothing. The NPC shows again within the "space room" handling a choice, which is:
1. Try to defeat Nayala again = Start the game again (choosing to remain your stats achieved until then), which means that there's no chapter 8 incoming.
2. Not trying to defeat Nayala = Game Over.
So... yes, probably the words given by the NPC at the first encounter is a good prologue that tells if you're going to reach chapter 8 or not.
Well, I think that the ridiculously ammount of time spent to achieve what I said before isn't enough to have the good ending. GG WP. XD
