VN Others Completed VenusBlood GAIA International [v1.04] [Ninetail & Dual Tail]

[RickJencans]

I did hard as my first playthrough and I agree, it's not actually a very good idea. Venus Blood games are actually pretty challenging as you ramp up difficulty, some of the boss fights are essentially impossible if you simply don't have the right units/teams to deal with them somehow, which can easily happen if you don't recruit the "optimal" units on your first playthrough with your limited resource pool and are left stuck with weaklings. You *can* do it with a lot of trial and error but save yourself the hassle and play normal first, then when you have some gear and some better units unlocked from completing the game once, you can tackle the harder difficulties.

Yeah, I definitely don't think hard is meant for a first playthrough. You'd have to really know what you're doing to survive there. I restarted once and managed to get midway through chapter 4 before I gave up because I just ran out of resources and it was a hard fail. A middle ground difficulty between hard and normal would have been nice. It was basically pushing me toward increasingly cheese strategies like stacking all my units in the basement at the ether core room so no matter how many enemies there were, there is no space for them to push through eventually. Compared to how much I struggled to make progress in hard, normal feels comically easy.

You absolutely can play the first playthrough on hard. It's just like playing a Nuzlocke. You just need to know what you're doing, and do it better each time you fail.

i mean it's a lot of dumb grinding. you need to use ALL the turns you have and fight in proper rooms to buildup your dungeon and amass resources.You not going to get good scores - but it's most efficient way to tackle that.

Ha ha ha, can't get a good score? Ha ha ha, sure... *S++ only veteran*

On hard? i am surprised you have any units to field or resources to use if you rush it like that. i think grind is way more stable approach

Let me put it this way, doesn't matter whatever VB game you're playing, if you can't S++ every map Hard on first run you don't yet deserve the title Veteran (though we allow exceptions for maps you are expected to lose like that interlude before chapter 4), and only those who can clear the challenge mode on the highest difficulty deserves the title of Master. You know who gets the Grandmaster title? Those who minimum turn-cleared both game modes, those who S++ Hard B1 or even B2 on the first run, or those who S++ in singular race mode.

So yeah, of course grind is more stable, but who cannot drag the game for 300 turns and win?

I didn't say it couldn't be done, I said it isn't meant to be done as a first playthrough. If you "know what you're doing" then you aren't new to the game or the series meaning it isn't really a first playthrough.

Ah! In that case, sure. Beginners can do whatever they want.

Spreadsheeting every map and prepping for fights is like running nuzlocke while looking up gym leaders teams. i prefer full blind experience. So in that case running grind is the way.

Sorry this is my first time trying to play this game but whenever I boot it up its all in Japanese besides the save/load/auto/skip section in the game start. Is there a way to fix this?

 

[JonJones5]

Nevermind I was being dumb

 

[Quite Frankly]

does this have femdom scenes?

 

[Scroll k33p3r]

I want to get back into this game, but got a bit bored midway through. Not sure if I was playing wrong, but none of the scenes I was getting really satisfied me in any way and I was hoping law would have more vanilla stuff, but it did not cross my path.
What does pure law offer with proper mingling use?

VenusBlood is a fetish turn based strategy game series. If you don't like the fetishes present and you don't like the gameplay or the story then there's not much there for you to enjoy.

That doesn't really answer my question. Like if Law is basically the same as the other routes, then what is the point of it?

It's not the same. The story in the later chapters will be different and you will get different H scenes as well.

I'm trying to unlock every unit in the game(unique keys units included and special commanders), are there any guide to do it?

I've tried but it dosn't include altered forms like Altered Sylvia or Mad goddess Freya.

Did finish the game on Hard during 1st playthrough, I didn't play blind as I use cheat to see what's ahead and plan accordingly (tried my best not to cheat items/HP as best as I could).
And I believe I got every unit available? Not sure tho lol

I wish someone made cheat table like previous game, Frontier & Hollow, where you can even edit unit skills.
Just in case tho. Sometime I want the game to be harder. That being said, not fond of this game after playing Hollow sadly, new player should start with Frontier, GAIA, and Hollow. The UI and aspect ratio really ticked me off.
(not to mention it's tower defense, far different than the previous 2 international)

I know there's cheat for GAIA but it requires Mod Engine. Sorry, but no. I'm still trying to make my own cheat table but keep failing, yes it's been years. And yes I've completed the game multiple times.
