Notes
I will be ignoring the files for this run as I collected all of them during Oyu’s run. There’s no new game plus, but completing the game on hard mode will unlock Ultimate mode which will make the Ekei and Kotaro runs faster.
On hard mode, enemies are more difficult to stun, take more damage to kill and obviously hit a lot harder. It’s easy to go from a pretty good condition to dead with just a few mistakes. I’m not the biggest fan of just giving enemies lots of hyper armor and damage mods given how tiny some of the combat rooms are and like almost every game like this, enemies can attack through each other which just sucks. I didn’t enjoy this all that much, I would have preferred more altered group compositions. My biggest criticism of this game is the backtracking and recycling of areas, though. Well, that and how little actually changes on each route. Seems a little half-baked to me.
For cutscenes, I skip most repeated ones to save time. I show Oyu’s later cutscenes just to prove that nothing changes for most of her scenes on non-Oyu routes. I left incidental ones in because they’re short. I also left the boss intro scenes intact to reduce how jarring the transitions are but I will likely cut them for Ekei and Kotaro.
