I think I'm kinda out on this game. I was enjoying it for a long time and enjoyed building up my horses for the first Taurus Cup, but I was pretty disappointed with the format. It felt like it was gonna be a fun enjoyable event to show off and put to use my best horses, but it turned into just a spammathon where I click the buttons as fast as I can to get through all of the rounds you do in a day for the rewards. Regular careers and daily races have all turned into that, but I figured this once a month event would be different.... They put in so many rounds to do in a day that its just back to skipping through.

I'm on track to perform in the Gemini Cup as about the same as Taurus, but eh. For games like this, what I need is strong goals to work towards over a long period of time. The Taurus Cup gave me that goal and invigorated my desire to build my team of killers to win it, but the actual event just wasn't that fun. This time around my efforts building my Narita Taishin were a bit halfhearted, and I just haven't even run the races since the first day. I can't imagine spending a bunch of time building a new team for anything now, so that's probably it for me.

My other complaints:

It kinda sucks that the daily requires doing a full career run. It's just too much to do on a daily basis. I fell off on doing them a week or two ago and I just don't care to start doing them again.

The rewards on regular activities anyway are ABYSMAL. Like the login reward, dailies etc, give practically nothing. So I guess it doesn't really matter if I do the daily careers or not - most resources come from the events and giveaways that they do. So our f2p income doesn't come from steady gameplay, it comes at how generous Cygames decides to be (or, how generous they happened to be to JP in the original release, at an accelerated rate).

I think its a mistake for support cards and the racers to be pulled by the same currency. It takes a month or months to save up the currency to make pulling on a banner worthwhile - so.... if you are doing one, its an EXCEPTIONALLY long time before you can do the other. I feel like these should be gathered in parallel. Perhaps the trainee / support card tickets should be rewards for things more often, as they are now its pretty sparing

As a positive note, one thing my friends that played the game all did was skip all dialogue and events, thinking that this is all just uwu garbage, but I think that's a mistake. A lot of the support cards and the main URA scenario stuff aren't that great and skippable IMO but the career stories of the runners are mostly all great. I really loved reading through their growth. Some of them are nuts, some of them are sweet, some of them are inspiring. It's just a visual novel. The characters were the strongest part of this game.

Speaking of, I do need to do my Agnes Tachyeon career run still. I've only done her prologue story... she's an absolute psycho.

Symphonia was great but its the only one I've played before.

I'm now a couple hours into Berseria, I bought it when it came out because I thought Velvet's character design looked cool, but I just dunno if this game is it. She's way edgier than I expected, and the world building is pretty hamfisted (both in how unbeatable the daemons were pre plot and how much the exorcists have grown and achieved complete hegemony in just three years.....), and I dunno if I'm really into this 3d action system compared to the more 2dish system Symphonia had. It definitely has room to grow and improve.... but it'd have to grow and improve to not be a dud to me.

What are the GOOD Tales games

As a serious answer, if you are raising only B+ horses then I would just do open. There will still be whales/good players who intentionally raise their horses to be incredible horses in B+ and avoid doing less effective skills/stats that push the horse into A, so it might not actually be "easier" in general. But the A rank horses in Graded league will just absolutely kill you

if you actually are raising A or better horses - then its a tough call. Just because you are raising A horses doesn't mean they are that good - if you get lots of skills that don't do much to help you win, you'll get into A and then just get destroyed by the actually killer A rank horses that have great stats and great gold skills that are just what they need. So it might be best to just take your best B+ horses down to Open league and put up with whatever you are finding there, and then just try to use the tricks you can find online to keep newer horses you raise in the B+ tier too

Personally, I'm long past the stage where every horse I raise is A rank, and I cannot be bother to try to limit their rating to get more power per rating or whatever. I just make them the absolute best I can every career and stick them on my Trials Team if they are the best one I've made. I don't worry too much about the rating drawing bigger enemies on me. My girls are killers

So I'll just take Graded league, even if I get slaughtered like I did in Round 2 of the Taurus Cup

BTW I ended up in Group B for the Finals of that cup after my disastrous Round 2 performance.... and I absolutely smoked the teams I went up against. It was a little bittersweet. I know I would have gotten rolled in the group A Finals and ended third... but it felt like I belonged there instead of against the children I killed in Group B.

-I guess Jet is dead? It's kind of funny how they have to be ambiguous about deaths due to this being a kid's show. But in a funny way it introduces a lot of uncertainty about who could actually be alive since all deaths are "off-screen" deaths. Zhao and Jet could very well pop up later (though not really expecting either if them to).

The Illustrations and the layers just looks a bit too obvious, high contrast, unpolished. Ori has a ton of depth and a cohesive 3d look, but HK looks very indie with a bunch of sprites. It's not bad, it's just not attractive to me, as an indie dev who looks at that kind of art constantly. It's just not magical to me. People clearly like it though.


Huh, you said similar things about Expedition 33, about how it was actually quite a common and basic usage of whatever software they for the visuals, and if we'd seen a lot more games with that style we wouldn't be that impressed by it. That sounds farfetched to me - it's the art direction that carries the graphics of that game to such heights, anybody else using similar models or something wouldn't hit the same, unless it turns out that all the assets literally came from a store and we'll see everything in flying waters in other games.

What a terrible curse, to not be able to enjoy such great visual designs in games like these.

I actually think the compass is a fine thing. The overuse of maps and waypoints pointing us where to go are a blight on gaming. It's nice and convenient which is why we all like it and it's generally not going anywhere, but we definitely lose something by following the distant marker on our screen or by constantly pressing tab to look at the map and to see where to find the next exit. Sometimes just running around and looking for things myself just hits the spot, but if I had the map I know I'd just use it.

So I like the way its implemented here. I *can* generally figure out where I am and where I'm going. Sometimes I *do* get helplessly lost and have no idea where I am and wish I had the map marker turned on, but honestly that still has fun in it by itself. I do use the marker sometimes but I think its nice to turn it off too. The Geo suction one is a way more of an auto lock charm for me.

Expedition 33 had a lot of criticism for not having a map like FFX does... but I think it was better for not having it. When you have the map of the three forks you can go down... then you just watch the minimap as you go into each corner you can get to and move on. Expedition 33 had beautiful environments, and I really enjoyed running up and down them looking for every nook and cranny to explore

I said I wasn't a metroidvania guy but I guess the exploring elements do grab me. I got the wall jump which really makes the game feel open and that I can do anything. Being able to endlessly jump up the same wall is OP as hell.

Interesting - all four current styles just do a cruiser speed until the late race when they all actually start using their speed stat. Does the new style actually just accelerate up to their speed until their HP runs out or something in the early or mid race or something - then just start cruising and hope nobody catches up later? I'd assume they don't speed up in the late race at all then.

Basically just doing your final spurt early

I started this a few days go, I'm like 5 hours in, it's pretty fun. Definitely a slow start but I'm looking forward to thinks opening up pretty more. I can see a lot of the elements that really make people love this though.

I doubt I'm going to love this like the diehard fans, but I'm not really a metroidvania kinda guy. I'll remember like, max three things to go back to before I get overloaded and then I'll even forget those three.

foolm0r0n posted...
My hot (but probably very common) take is that the graphics turn me off more than anything

What exactly do you mean by this? I don't know that I have any thoughts about the graphics from a technical perspective, but the art direction of this game is incredible. Every indie game dreams of its art hitting this perfectly.

How do people generally compare this to Ori and the Blind Forest? Is one higher on the pedestal or are they about even? I loved Ori in general (though I more appreciated the metroidvania aspects than truly loved them), and my feeling is that game was a little more cinematic in presentation and a bit more floaty in the movement, while Hollow Knight feels a bit more grounded in the combat, though they are not really that far away from eachother in any aspect.

Do BNW have improved chances of winning their respective Triple Crowns? In my Winning Ticket runs, Narita Taishin always wins the Satsuki Sho and then Winning Ticket has to FOCUS UP and achieve her dream of winning the Japanese Derby.... then Hayahide says she'll win the next one... and then she wins the Kikuka Sho....

Just did my first Narita Taishin race and easily got 1st in Satsuki Sho.... then got 2nd to Winning Ticket in the Derby and 2nd Hayahide in Kikuka Sho

Maybe you just gotta believe in CANON and play Winning Ticket.

You do need to make sure you have 300+ stam at least since its a medium, there's lots of racers who get the Derby as part of their career after only doing miles or whatever and the stam requirement hits you like a truck

Round 2 was brutal for me. In Round 1 Graded league, there was typically one or two Uma's on the same level as my Gold Ship (1200 speed, near 1k stam, lots of wit), but I'd usually win against them, there wasn't a single run I didn't get 3+ wins on. In Round 2, there was usually 4 other horses comparable or BETTER. I also noticed they all had 1k power as well, which is a stat I haven't really respected that much in comparison to speed and stam. I kept getting 2 wins but ended up not getting a third win on any run, so I ended up in Group B for the finals, RIP.

There were so many races where I watched my Gold Ship gaining speed on the enemy ace in the lead, just to catch up right at the finish line and lose by a nose. RIP. I made a better Air Groove but even though she often held 1st or 2nd for most of the race she always fell behind the enemy aces at the very end, never took a single race, so trying to make her a backup ace didn't pay off.

Oh well!

I'm probably misunderstanding you here, but just for extra clarity:

If, in Graded League for example, today in Round 1 you've won 3 times, 3 times again, and 3 times once more on all 3 free entries, and then you spend 30 carats for the 4th and final entry of the day, you will earn those 30 carats back that you just spent immediately by winning 3+ times on that final entry.

The number of wins in your first 3 entries is irrelevant; I'm just using that to illustrate that you can claim the same rewards or better multiple times in the same day.

You do need to be able to win somewhat consistently (and more so if you're in Open League where Round 1 requires 5 wins in a 30 carat entry to earn all of them back, but you at least get some carats back no matter what, so you're at max really only spending 25 carats in Open league and 20 carats in Graded if you somehow lose every single race).

Obviously, it's not really worth it if you don't have anything built to win on a Tokyo 2400m track to use the carat entries, but it's also not going to make or break you, as you lose a max of 90 carats if you lose every carat entry race all 4 days in Open league and a max of 70 carats for the same in Graded.

Also, unless I'm sorely mistaken, I don't think you can enter more than 8 times total in a given round, so you can't save up extra tickets for Round 2 (I think you can only enter 4 times per day, but not sure about that). Let me know if I'm wrong.

Actually Im clueless. I thought the individual races in the set cost a ticket or 30 carats, not a whole set of races.. you can just do a ton of sets? Qualifying for the next rounds is way easier than I thought. And yeah they are giving so many free attempts either way with the one free per day and two free tickets daily, the 30 carats cost basically doesnt exist, might as well run it

So who are you goes running in this event? My Evil Nature doesnt have as many rebuff skills as Id like but I found getting the hints for them all kinda tough. Every match Ive had is full of Evil Natures as expected, but my stat is working as expected. My Gold Ship is crushing, even other aces with better stats on paper, because they are getting double rebuffed while mine gets barely debuffed at all. Enemy gold ships luckily just havent been as good as mine so far

Hes definitely not saying youll earn the carats back in the current round, just across the rounds.

it does not seem worth it to spend carats to get to a 5 win finish in this round. Once you get 3 wins it seems best to save your tickets for next round so you dont ever spend carats spending carats for extra races just seems to be to make up losses if you dont get to 3 wins

I read Lookism and found the very beginning absolutely abominable and then got really good pretty quickly, I should really check out how the anime handled that

I finally got around to watching some Dandadan season 2 and.... I'm kinda underwhelmed. The reason I started watching Dandadan was because of trailers I kept getting served about the Evil Eye movie playing in theatres near me and the trailer got me so hyped, everything about it felt stylistically perfect. But actually getting these episodes haven't really lived up to my expectations.

Spoilers up to S2E16 -

Most of the stuff with the Evil Eye did end up being really great stylistically, the music cuts and the transitions were all great. The cult family was fine on their own, but that's kinda where it all starts to fall apart - this arc really didn't come together with every element. The cultists don't follow the Evil Eye, they follow this other random monster that ALSO causes suicides in the basement. There just happens to be TWO suicide inducing monsters down there, and I don't feel like these two elements really meshed well together. Then once Momo gets back up to the surface, all the running around up there felt... pointless? It's like we just left the meat of the arc behind for a completely unrelated catastrophe to solve. I didn't really enjoy any of that.

The Evil Eye's backstory had some potential but they hinted at it early on when Jiji showed up, but then it was non existent until he shows up to block the worm and gives his entire backstory to Jiji. I feel like this should have been spread out a bit more - and then Jiji completely being absent the second he talked to it that one time and it possessed him took away a bit from the emotional impact of whatever it would try to do if it were to succeed and escape. Even if the Evil Eye possessing Jiji was a great boss monster. Using his soccer skills was really fun.

I feel like one of Dandadan's biggest strengths is how everything is lolsorandom but somehow cohesively ties everything together in a pretty compelling narrative thats both hype and emotional. It didn't really pull that off here.

Yeah, Ults are definitely the biggest reason to decide if someone can be flexible with styles, even if they get an A, if they have to be in the back of the pack or pass a ton of people to activate their ult, they are just never gonna be a front runner / pace chaser

It's not quite clear in Gold Ship's ults text but she has to be in the second half of the pack to activate her ult during the 50-60% mark of the race, you can see it by looking at the details of her ult on gametora

Distance rate is the position on the track (so it can activate from the halfway point of 50% to the 60% point) and order rate is position in the pack, IE in a race of 16 people she'd need to be in 9th or worse

Even a late surger is risky if she's at the front of the other lates or is just passing weak pacers anyways

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a1c1a775.png

Don't sleep on ults, they are very powerful (so much so that if you inherit one, it's nerfed significantly and more comparable to a normal skill)

Is she losing goal races or other races you try? There's stat padding in career to help your characters clear it so the stats are higher than in other stuff like team trials. I've done a ton of Golshi mode Gold Ship runs and I can't imagine her ever losing any career race with 900 stam unless maybe your other stats are truly pitiful, but she randomly loses optional races I try all the time, so I buy into the idea that the stat padding only applies to goal races but not other races you do.

You can use this tool to search for players that have sparks you want to inherit or cards. IE lvl 50 super creek, or a Symboli Rudolf with 9 stam spark and Long or something

https://uma-global.pure-db.com/#/search

Getting 40-90 stam from an inspiration event really helps a ton

There's a follower limit of 1000 so sometimes if you look up a player it will already be at max follows when you try to follow them but it only took me a couple tries when I looked for a good dirt spark to make my Mayano Top Gun an A

Looks like the the free pull on the prior banner didn't carry over to the Super Creek one for some reason. Maybe starting tomorrow we will get free pulls for that. The Smart Falcon banner did have a free pull though

Whelp, I did 86 pulls on Smart Falcon and didn't get her. I did manage to grab all the 1 and 2 stars I was missing like Grass Wonder, Agnes Tachyon, and El Condor Pasa which is nice. I also got Curren Chan and Silence Suzuka!. Curren is a Sprinter and and Silence is Mile so that should help those teams.

Do people run Silence as a frontrunner for Mile or Medium? Maruzensky would be stuck as the Sprinter Frontrunner if I put Silence in Mile, so Medium might be the way to go, plus it'd leave other umas free to be use the pace/late styles in Medium

I wish my Manhatten Cafe was higher LB but oh well, I'm not gonna pull just for her. I only ever really use one strength card so I haven't bothered leveling the others besides Bourbon but maybe eventually

I'm thinking about grabbing 2 LB Rice Shower from the club points shop to use for my Evil Nature.....

Also, on my last run of the night I failed 4 consecutive infirmary trips trying to cure night owl. My rng on pulls can only improve from here... I hope.

At first I didn't believe the dev note saying Golshi mode is harder than regular career since it all seems the same to me, but then I saw a note saying Night Owl happens way more often and holy **** does that ring true for me, I dunno if its just confirmation bias but I get it on at least every other run and iv gone to the infirmary and failed to clear it 3 times in a row

I'm also someone who only pulled on horses once, maybe twice. But there's one coming up this month so I'm saving up for her. I already have a Super Creek card so I'm less pressured to go for this particular support banner. Though I'd never complain about more copies.

Who's coming up that you are interested in? Smart Falcon is a dirt front runner which are both things I want more of and she comes out today. Narita Brian looks interesting and I like her a lot in the campaigns she's shown up in but holy **** do I not need another Medium/Long runner with Pace/Late style, my trials team is basically an exercise in "how do I fit these 100 medium/long runners into sprint/mile/dirt"

At the end of the month alternative versions of Air Groove and Mayano Top Gun come out but I'm not going to pull for alternate versions on principle, I hate that concept, ESPECIALLY in the early life of a game.

I have a 1 uncap Super Creek and that's actually what makes me feel a bit like I want to pull for her - if I pull one and get the pity then I could get her to 3 uncaps which would be when she starts getting starting friendship and being pretty strong, so I wouldn't need to borrow her ever. But I think i'll just suck it up and use my 1uncap or borrow

Do you mean the free pull that will become available early in the day, but the banner change over will happen in the afternoon, so if you hold the free pull till then you can use it? I'm assuming it'll carryover too, guess we just gotta hope

I'd like to spend my carats on Super Creek but I think I'm gonna use it on horses. I've never pulled on trainees except like one ten pull at the very beginning, and Smart Falcon would be great for the dirt team as a front runner, so I think I'm gonna throw what I've saved up at pulling trainees to fill out my roster more and try for Falcon

That two legs thing is incredible

I wouldn't have minded grabbing those extra tickets but no big deal either way

Apparently that Goldship GW Celebration Hijack is a bunch of event missions that'll give 5k+ carats and $1.2mil monies. That monies will be big, I'm always broke af even with doing the Hard monies dailies with every tciket


it was a celebration of Golden Week in Japan, but that has no relevance to us except being the holiday week where no anime/manga come out so they are just releasing it on the same schedule it came out in Japan as other events

One big thing to keep in mind is the effect aptitude has:

When it comes to Distance aptitude, A rank is standard no effect on stats, and every rank down is an additional 10% reduction to your speed. So B rank is a 10% reduction, C rank is 20%, D rank is 30%., etc. It gets really severe, so you pretty much always want to be A rank on what you are running

Style aptitude is similar but nerfs Wit instead of speed, and track surface type (turf or Dirt) affects acceleration. Here's a table for them

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/61e9b824.png

Some tips on your roster

Sprint:
  • These are the same Uma's I use! So that's good
  • Just gotta make sure Maruzensky has an A in Sprint, she's a Mile Queen with a default B in Sprint, but if you are short on sprinters you gotta make it work.... I see you have her with an S in Sprint so she'll be just fine
Mile:
  • Grass Wonder and Vodka are both Late Surgers- but Grass Wonder can probably switch to Pace Chaser pretty easily
  • Mayano Top Gun is a Front Runner which works well with those
  • But what the heck is Mayano Top Gun doing here? She has a D rating in Mile by default - I see you've raised it to an A somehow so it'll work here, but you'll have to keep doing it if you raise her again


Medium
  • Tachyon and Air Groove are both Pace, but Ryan is already Late, and making any of these Front Runner or End Closer seems not worth it. I'd say just accept that until you can find another horse to move in here as a front runner


Long
  • The answer to your Medium team might be here in Daiwa Scarlet. She's VERY flexible in that she can play in Mile, Medium, or Long, and can be either a Front Runner or a Pace Chaser. I would build her out for wherever you need her and move her around
  • Since Gold Ship is graciously playing the role of End Closer in Long, that means you are free to pick two of Front Runner, Pace Chaser, and Late Surger for the other two roles, so you could move pretty much anybody in here
  • Fukukitaru is Late but also has a B in Pace so you could easily make her a Pace Chaser if the third person you want to bring in is also a Late Surger


Dirt
  • Damn both Taiki Shuttle and El Condor Pasa, that's convenient.... I'm jealous, I've had to use inspiration to build other dirt racers but looks like you are doing just fine
  • Taiki and El Condor Pasa are both set as Pace, ideally you figure out how to make Taiki a Front Runner. I see you've gotten her to a B there already. Or you could try and make Haru Urara an End Closer and then El Condor Pasa can take the Late Surger spot


Overall there's some mixing up you can do on styles, but I think the big change is swapping a front runner into Medium from somewhere else. I mentioned Daiwa Scarlet - but actually it might be better to move Mayano Top Gun from Mile to Medium (Top Gun is A in both Medium and Long by default but a miserable D in Mile). Your current Top Gun has an A in Mile so she's fine for now but in the long term, you might wanna just keep her in Medium/Long where she usually belongs. Daiwa Scarlet can make the huge jump from Long to Mile to replace Mayano as Front Runner - and then you could move Ryan or Tachyon to Long

If you have any other trainees unlocked I can comment if they'd fit better than anything you have here too. I see you do have Rice Shower which can fit into Medium or Long to bump someone worse off as a Pace Chaser, or even a Front Runner (default B) or Late Surger (default C) if you want. I see your current Rice Shower even has an S in Late Surger for the job already. Honestly Rice Shower could be your Medium Front Runner too, but her ult is good for breaking from the pack so she's not great as a Front Runner despite her default B on it.

There's been some good points about how this team trial stuff works. It's about scoring points, not quite about getting 1st in the race itself, though that does give points

Here's a few key areas to be aware of

1st, 2nd, 3rd - if all three of your girls get these spots, you get a bonus

All Members Place - which means top 5. 1st, 2nd, 3rd is kinda tough but you should aim for all three of your horses to be good enough to get top 5 for this one regularly. If you have a horse regularly placing outside of top 5, that should be a target for you to do career runs with to improve. (you get both this and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd together if you get both).

  • Here's a bit of a trap you've fallen into by filling out your roster sadly. If you race with 2 horses, then the bonus is "1st, 2nd", and you only need both horses in top 5 to get All Members Place. So by adding a third useless horse, you actually screw yourself out of these points. You can't remove horses once a slot has been filled though, so you'll just have to improve from here


Activating a skill gives 500 points, but a golden rarity skill gives 1,200, so you want more skills that can activate, and gold skills are especially good.

Activating your Uma's unique skill also gives a lot of points - so you'll want to try to make sure the conditions for your Uma to ult will be happening (IE if they need to pass 3 people or whatever, you wouldn't want them as a front runner)

Good positioning - this means the Uma is 1st amongst their style (IE Pace Chaser etc) as mentioned earlier. So ideally you don't want to double up on the same style in a category if you can help it. Don't screw over a horse just to make this happen though if they won't be good at it or their skills don't line up for it, but you could go into the next career with a plan to build a horse that way

There's other stuff but it's hard to manipulate. Just make good Uma's with lots of skills and vary your styles in the long run and your team will get better

When you are clicking through the different categories during a team trial, you can click on the prior categories that have already run and there'll be a little i next to the score you got, you can click it and see how your Uma's did. At the end of the race there's a results page and a ranking you can click into to see all the details. I'd suggest checking that out after each team trial and keeping an eye on which Uma's are just never giving you much stats - and focus your career runs on them.

This might not always mean the lower ranked Uma's. I've had C+ rank Uma's putting up better points than B Uma's

In general, working out my goals for what I want on the Team Trial has been the most motivating thing for me to keep going back to career mode over and over lately

Interesting. Are you struggling to get enough points to win the whole thing or even just individual races?

Whats your rank and which difficulty tier do you challenge?

wanna post a screenshot of your lineups?

It's my assumption that everybody here already has tons of hours in Minecraft. It was an indie darling even before it became for kids or whatever. It really is just a gold standard of the industry.

I've been looking into this a little, seems good to start training up Uma's for this sometime soon, we have a bit over two weeks to prepare (starts Aug 17)

Like you mention, Evil Nature seems to be very meta to debuff the enemy team, and because of that, Gold Ship might be meta as the Ace in order to dodge Evil Nature. The reason being Nature's inherent debuffs trigger on Umas in front of her in her field of view, and since Gold Ship is an End Closer, she'll be behind her and miss some of it, and Nature's other debuffs she can easily get access to from good Support cards that don't deal with her field of view are role related.... for Front Runners, Pace Chasers, and Late Chasers. So Gold Ship is very clear of Nature's shenangians.

However - I watched this guys video and he had some interesting thoughts on Air Groove -

She has Disorient which narrows field of View for runners behind her - which could nerf Nature's ability to debuff enemies, And she also has Hesitant and Flustered End Closers - so she can debuff Gold Ship. So she kinda counters the meta.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tugXegDhVWE

I'm tentatively thinking about building a team out of Evil Nature, Air Groove, and Gold Ship based on this but we'll see. I'd need to spend a lot on upgrading their potentials to make it really worthwhile.

Nature is my oshi so I'll probably do that anyways
