The guide is still useful for pursuing the women although most answers are pretty obvious. I thought Paco made a new guide that got rid of what was no longer relevant. Either I'm mistaken or it was never linked to the OP. No walkthrough mod but I don't think one is really needed for this game.

He did?
That's news to me :unsure: (I remember him making a custom DeLuca sig, but a guide, it's the first time I'm hearing it), and I only remember whichone doing the Contracts guide.

If he (Paco) did, he uploaded it while I was offline and I didn't know about it (if I knew about it, I would have asked the moderators to link it to OP).

I still working on it, but I've made several changes, just to scrap them later (too many spoilers), so, I decided to wait the finish of season 1 to put all the pieces together. Plus, if the plan is just a guide, not a walkthrough (for me, that will kill the story experience for the player) the guide cannot spill all the beans ("don't be a lazy bastard and play, goddamit"). At the end, it will be very similar to RedKnight's version, just updated.

Since the first source of questions in thread are missions and contracts, I put my focus on that, giving all credit to you guys who always help the people to navigate on Delucas universe.

JJJ84 - Last thing I saw from Paco Loco about it, was a while back. See here.
This was his first update. IDK if more was done.

Yeah, I totally missed that.
Thanks for linking it.

I'd imagine it will be a challenge for you because looking at RedKnight's outdated version of the guide, I think even that spoils the story (well to the complete newbies) cause he gives descriptions of the event (and he gives a lot of plot summary).

Perhaps if you're wary of the whole spoilers, if might be easier to do a Guide like this format (it's for the game Eternum on that game's thread), just one dialogue line at the choices and all choices present, with what effects what?:

I dunno, just my two cents on the matter, but I'm sure you'll figure something out.

Besides, I still have some questions about how some elements will work in the story at the end of season 1 (the 'Morality' stat, for starters - already mentioned by JJJ's in thread), because even Hopes was not sure if he keeps or leave it, since the Morality status doesn't seems to affect the story, and this is one of the sources of ruckus between some people ("the choices doesn't matter").

Eternum style guide wouldn't be bad for this game

Yeah, The Seven Realms WT is like that, too.
Doesn't offer any info, other than detail the choices & their impact.
All other dialogue, or in-game info, is excluded.

For that, I'd suggest keeping note of dialogue choices which affect it (& how), but just state in the guide that it has no current effect.

Yeah, from what I can tell, there still exists the Purple Hearts for the characters (like Wilfred, Antonio, the Four Serpents), and last I asked questions about it to Hopes, he was unsure about keeping it on, and seemed to be leaning towards scrapping the Purple Hearts (and just keeping the LIs' Red Hearts).

But I'd imagine that won't be solidified until he finalizes everything for his DeLuca season 1's Steam release.
So you might want to wait for him on that also (don't wanna add that to your guide, only for it to be scrapped lol).

Damn! I didn't even played those games. (OK, focus! :ROFLMAO:)

The first (Eternum) seems to be a 'traditional' walkthrough - where you gather your points and whatnot.

The second (Seven Realms) looks more like a guide to me - in Delucas, there are not only points related to MC's behavior (points gathered with the girls and other NPCs, but equipment stats and combat/on mission stats, wich is what defines success or fail in contracts/missions). From my perspective, it fits more with a Delucas guide. Plus, I Hope Hopes don't change many things on this matter, because if he does, all of that will go to wasteland! o_O

However, I'll use those two, and RedKnight's, and the code, and steal some tea from Cordia before release it. Thanks guys.

Is there any difference in the content based on the gameplay you selected? I know that you can accept missions and buy stuff but apart from that if you select vn are there any stories that you would miss? If there are is it like a repeatable mission that doesn't affect the main story or actual good side story that you might want to learn?

The game has 3 modes:

- "Full Experience" (always comes first in terms of content, given it's the priority); i.e. FullExp
- "Only Story + Freeroaming" (wasn't available before, but now it is); i.e. OnlyS
- "VN-mode" (not available yet); i.e. VN

I'm assuming you're asking the difference between FullExp & OnlyS
I'm basically a FullExp player, but from what I understand, there are some things with OnlyS that you may miss out, due to not choosing the FullExp; i.e. Wilfred's Contracts.

For instance, several side stories which feature characters who appear in either the main story (Amita, Amata, with "The Delivery Boy contract and they appear in "What is Truly weak is Truly Strong" main event), as well as girls lewd/freeroam events (Lelianna who with "The Snooping Bonans" & "The Bonanzo Meeting" contracts does make an appearance in "Fly White Bird, Fly" Isabel event).

Should you choose OnlyS, you'll miss the backstory of how MC's relationship is with these characters.
But even with ones which doesn't have main story characters in them, there are some ones which are really worth is, like "The Painter" contract.

hello

why the game is not translate in french with setting french language ?
Click to expand...
All translation work on the game are done by volunteers.
Not translating in French would likely mean people who worked on French translation abandoned it.
