k3069568, I got stuck at the same area you did... I am somewhat clueless about it myself, though I am very sure it's not the translation at fault, it's the game version or something missing preventing the game from normal operation, though I know not what would cause the issue, I assume it would be either, missing important installations or problems with the game version itself, I have got a full japan copy of the game, and it is doing the exact same thing the translated version does.
I do wish someone would tell me why it will not function right. I am thinking for whatever reason, that it may be due to files we do not yet have installed, as the others do not seem to have this issue.

Soooo... Basically they just stopped developing this game at a point and released it in the state that it was in? Is that why after the mayor literally solicits you for sex, you're never allowed back into his house? And the game becomes a "repeat this brothel scene over and over and over till you get 500,000 gold, then kill the final boss"? And everything else just falls by the wayside? What a let down.

EDIT: not to mention that there are TWO unused item slots. You have slots for boots AND head. Nothing that can go there in the entire game. what a let down.

This has become CircleKAME's thing, really. Here's my anecdotal tale. The circle's pretty much always released major updates after the initial release of their games. The Arms Devicer update (the plus thing) was pretty big, if I remember right. The slide sorta started with Parallel Fantasy IF being more or less complete but sorta buggy, and even with that one it kinda seems there were more ideas than content (I seem to remember things like unused or underutilized item slots, weird gameplay balance, etc.).

The game in this thread was the first one that was slid out the door basically unfinished, and every game they've made since has been the same way. The guy's always seemed to want to push the envelope when it comes to "systems," and flashy RPG Maker plugin hacks, but the content has really suffered. The Final Fantasy knockoff F4 seemed to have a lot of weird bugs (a bunch of updates to fix things, like duplicate party members, happened, and then just kinda stopped with problems still around) and half-baked ideas (think Xenogears disc 2 versus disc 1 when you think of the F4 endgame). Folks on other forums complained up one side of F4 and down the other about not being able to combat rape the two secondary party members, having to finish a chapter and erase their skills instead of having some way in the story to do it--complaints like that.

Their last two releases have been "episodes," and aside from hideous gameplay balance problems at the very start of the first episode I haven't really followed the howling, although I'm sure it exists (ULMF kinda took it in the pants, I think, after whatever happened that torpedoed their search function--not exactly sure what went on there). I'm thinking at least some of the problems with episode 1 might've been from folks not having figured out how the game works yet, but I don't think they all were. Haven't checked in over on other forums to see what folks have been saying about episode 2. I haven't even played Ep. 2 since the first one was so confusing and mediocre.

Anyhow, I don't really remember hearing of active projects to get full translations for really any of KAME's latest games. There's probably a partial for F4 2.1 running around, and Arms Devicer S landed with such a huge plop that I don't think anyone bothered (I don't even remember what folks were saying about THAT game, it was so disappointing). Partials end up being sorta hard for KAME's games since they like putting so much text in images, and I assume that makes it tougher to apply partials once they're actually made. No full translations more or less means they probably won't end up here, so more complete stories of what exactly happened will probably have to wait for someone who knows more than I do to notice this thread.

It's kinda sad. Parallel Fantasy 0, IF, and Arms Devicer were really pretty good. What I've heard is that English-speaking folks think that KAME got complacent and realized that half-assed games would still sell on DLSite.

I mean. A lobotomized hampster would sell on DLSite. That ain't even getting complacent that's outright laziness.

I dunno. You do see on Japanese DLSite the occasional zero-effort (not asset flip, just terrible art) game that plunks in at few to no sales. I don't think it's all anti-West bias, either, although at least some folks who've tried seem to have experienced that.

Here it really does feel like KAME just realized stuff would sell even if it was half finished. That has to be the reason why he moved to the episodic format: so they could release something they could call "finished" before they got bored and moved on, or whatever happens with them. Thing is they're still pretty bad debuggers, so I'm not sure it's working out for them.

I suppose it's possible. Eastern nations tend to be more comfortable with porn games in general, but they have a pretty open anti-western disposition. IIRC Black Lilith still adamantly refuses to publish their games to the west, and the previous CEO of Aquaplus once responded to questions in an interview about potential overseas publishing and the (then) growing western audience with "works by his company were intended for Japanese, not filthy westerners." and only after the CEO's changed did we get a western PS2 release of Utawarerumono. A lot of animation and game companies have more or less the same opinion of westerners.

I'm not sure I'm doing this game right xD From what I can tell so far, the only h-scene (if you can call it that) comes from being defeated in the dungeon but everytime I'm defeated my stats, most notably HP goes down significantly, you can raise it a little bit by going to the mirror but its not very effective. How exactly does this game work, does more content get unlocked after the first boss, will I always be reset to 1 after defeat? Is there a walkthrough or something?

Edit: also some of the game isn't translated, is this normal or is there a patch?

Please, how do you get her to start prostituting herself? Thank you.
If I remember correctly, you have to progress to the part of the story where you need to buy the magic gem mcguffin, which is required to move on, you are given two options to collect the money, either farming gems in the forest or prosituting yourself at the brothel, which you can access by going out the same exit as you do to get the forest.

There is also apparently a route where you can prostitute yourself out to the mayor but I skipped the dialogue and could never figure it out. Hope this helps.

funny enough that i found a virus in this file.......
It's a false positive, it's just picking up the tool I used to translate the game. Since the tool takes apart programs, some anti-viruses freak out.

Did I get it right that you just can't remove clothing parts, no matter how deprived she gets? I came to a ppint where I have no idea how to proceed, and I never found a way to whore her out.

And is there anything elso to do in the slums but to lose battles and get more deptrived faster?

Any hints?
