Collection VN Others Completed VenusBlood FRONTIER International [v1.09 + Fandiscs] [Dual Tail & Ninetail]

[hoshimota]

I was about to go on explaining spree - But sure=) come back if there still questions left.

By all means, feel free - anything you have to share would be useful to me. This game seems complex as hell. I just didn't want to be a douche asking a bunch of questions that are probably answered in the tutorial; I noticed the button for it as I closed out of the game.

How important are the choices you make during dialogue and/or events? For example, there was an event where Fena told me we captured some important prisoner so we have leverage to negotiate, I picked the 'release some of our prisoners' option but then it's not really clear what happened... did I actually gain anything?

Then a bit later there was an event where we fought the goddess (Tyrca) and I could choose between fight or retreat - I tried to pick retreat but it said she still killed a lot of my soldiers, however again it's unclear what the hell this actually means. I'm not aware of any overall troop count and the individual units you command don't seem to have like a number of troops.

Those choices will give you points in different categories them being Law, Chaos and Affection (They are called Reign and Conquest in this game now that i checked, but it's still the same idea). Law and chaos scores affect the route that game will progress on, additionally certain medallions need certain amounts of law and chaos to be unlocked. Affection is needed for heroine endings. And while we on topic of endings - Mingle and training bars that heroines have also affect the endings they will be able to get. Training is corruption route, progressing to far on it will lock you out of more friendly events in mingle section and vise versa. Speaking from optimization point you want to get maximum amount of events possible without locking yourself out of your preferred route, but that is hard without knowing precise numbers. so up to you how you want to deal with that.

And For explaining - just give me the questions you have, it's easier for me to provide answers when i know what precise info you need.

Why can't I make any of the higher end equipment? I started a new game, got to the event where you captured an important prisoner so you have some leverage, I asked for money for his release, and got $10k. Cool now I can buy some of the fancy rare weapons! ...Nope - it never shows 'buy' as available for anything above the basic 4 weapons/items for any given category. I noticed the rarer ones all say "material 1" so I thought OK maybe you need ore... (which is shown on the material tab.) I stopped auto-selling ore, and at this point I have multiple copper, iron, silver, AND GOLD, but still it will not let me buy any of these rarer items/weapons/armor. What am I missing?

You are correct to assume that you need ores for equipment, but selling them actually turns them into available material (mentioned in the tutorial if you want to review this part), so you should keep selling them. But each takes 10 of a single kind of ore. To get more ore you need units with Bounty Hunter skill. higher grade of the skill makes enemies drop higher tier ores.
Alternatively you might want to build a treasure hunt team, High Treasure hunt will ensure better equipment drops, including those that you normally can buy for ores. Last thing that if you have 10 ores but still cant buy - check if you not trying to buy x10 (there are setting for x1 x4 and x10 )

 

[hoshimota]

Is there a list somewhere that shows what all the abilities do/mean, when you add medals to a unit you are recruiting? For example I keep picking dragonstrike a lot because it jacks their ATK up... but for many of these, the exact effect is much less clear.

What determines who will attack who in battle? (trying to figure how to make my hardest hitters attack more/where most appropriate, and how to protect my weaker units like healers.)

On that note, what determines whether a unit attacks or does something else like using magic, healing, etc?

Once again there is a whole bucket list of what each ability do in tutorial section. my advice is to screenshot them and put them up on the second monitor (or just in folder on a desktop so you can alt tab into it to check)

For want determines attack - first you can direct the attack at someone you want to attack. after that a lot of different skills will go into calculation. like tanking skills that force you to attack certain unit, types of attack (there are single targets, different shaped AOEs and ranged attacks). After your target is defeated Auto targeting will likely target someone with the lowest defense stat. Also take note that unless your unit have ranged attack skill - it will take counter damage.

In regards to types of attacks - everyone just hit each other in the face with their attack stat (for normal attacks at least). Mages that have no real attack are usually dealing damage with their skills like AOE field skills that do DoT damage and different kinds of blasts. also they usually have "defense only" skill - it means that they would not go into face to face brawl and only use their skills. anything that is not part of hitting each other faces is skills. and they have their own trigger conditions.

Some commanders have special skills/tactics that you have to use manually though. (tactics screen in battle) those are manual. and you need Power to use them (you can see your current power right below power balance in the battle, pale blue line - recovered by dealing and taking damage or by some tactics)

Tried patching the game to 1.0.9 and it just loads game as black screen. Any fix for this?

Edit: Uh foolish of me I DL the wrong patch lol.

 

[TJoshua]

do you think someone will translate venus blood brave or ragnarok one day?

 

[RimMYL]

So I get a black screen when I attach the patch, what should I do?

 

[shinka25]

i need help, i can't play it, when i open it, it's only a black screen.
if i push esc then it appear a thing that say that i can go out from the game so it's not a thing that i can do.

 

[shinka25]

So I get a black screen when I attach the patch, what should I do?

I think i found the answer.
I just changed the patch, the etc, etc2 and deleted all the text documents and changed the file name to "VBFI"
and then the black screen just disappeared and i could play it.

Well it took me almost as long to write this review as it took me to play the game. Pretty good game all things considered despite its flaws. I liked it enough that I can't wait to try out Gaia and Hollow since I hear that they improve every aspect of the game.

Gaia has a rather unique gameplay and challenges your ability to manage resources (or exploit the resource bug since the prologue and play the game with practically unlimited resources...), and Hollow is the hardcore version where you use all the knowledge you've learned previously to beat the game. Also rolling for single player gacha, heh.

Is the patch needed to play? I tried the link to the patch but it doesn't work.

It's probably a good idea to install it. Here's a working link:

Bestiality is one of the tags I avoid but this game was recommended to me a few times. I want to ask whether one can avoid it and how, are we able to choose scenes?

Well for starters this is tentacle game through and through - you will have them in 95% of the scenes. bestiality is probably one or 2 scenes throughout. more extreme content appears when you corrupt captured goddesses with training command.

So to avoid bestiality I have to not corrupt?

So to avoid bestiality I have to not corrupt?

Easier to just fast skip one scene where it appears than to ignore whole mechanic

 

[kirto12]

So to avoid bestiality I have to not corrupt?

from what I remember of the game there are 2 main bestiality scenes in the game and both are from corrupting Tyrca.
from what I remember the events are (with a stallion) and (beast intercourse) so you can ether just not corrupt Tyrca or skip the scenes when they come up.

you could also switch to the all ages version of the game and play the scenes and then switch back to the 18+ version this can be done by going in to the extras page and changing it there.

most of the other scenes have tentacles in one form or another the same as any other venusblood game.
