Current Events > The Hundred Line - Last Defense Academy is getting scarily good reviews

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm officially convinced that this is the longest script in video game history. According to this article, Hundred Line is 6 million characters.

The longest script prior to this that I can think of is Rance X, which is about 3.8 million. This beats it by over 50%. It's about 26 Steins;Gates.

Eito decides after learning the truth that he doesn't really want to resent the cast anymore and wants to rejoin. Had my doubts, but he even went to the crazy lengths to gouge his eyes out and burn his nose so he doesn't have to see or smell us anymore in order to make it easier to get along. He's still absolutely crazy but...there's no way he can betray us again after what he did to himself...right?

Is it longer than Umineko, though? I heard that's like the reigning King of the Long.

If you consider how his entire life is literally a lie and the result of a glitch in a computer system where his Saya No Uta tier agnosia is a side effect, it kinda comes together as to why he would decide to join up again, but he's still absolutely batshit insane no matter how you slice it thanks to the many years worth of horrific fake memories. And given how there is no cure for his agnosia, what he did would be the only possible way for him to reliably still be on the side of the protagonists even if it was taking things to the extreme.

Yeah, makes sense. You almost feel sorry for him in a way.

Also I think I came across a weird glitch. I was building up my bond with Nozomi and I definitely remember it being at 1 star, but today I gave her a gift and suddenly her bond shot up to 5 stars and I got a conversation that I assumed wouldn't make sense unless we learned the truth.

Edit: Alright, yeah something messed up I think. Checked the Gallery and I'm missing four bonding events with her and have the sixth one unlocked. I'm assuming the sixth one is tied to learning the truth then, but then how am I gonna get the rest of Nozomi's bonding events?

you can get the other events in other routes that aren't the one you got that last one in
the sixth event is intended to be an event you get no matter what in X route depending on the characters even if you didn't get their other ranks iirc

I wonder if I'm messing something up then.

Chapter 14_B_b Day 60ish I think all Bonding Events have stopped because none of the characters can talk. I've been trying to power through some of the characters I like who felt underrepresented in the first timeline, but now that everyone is forced to be mute it seems none of the scenes are playing. I really hope it doesn't end up skipping scenes then...

Chapter 14_B_bb Oh my god it's getting worse. It's getting so much worse. Everyone in the school is turning into fish. This is just completely insane. There has to be a logic to it. I have a theory but I'll want to experiment some more to truly find out.

Chapter 00 cleared, defying Sirei's orders. Just...fuck.

Chapter 14_B_bba / bbb - Day 100 And so ends the saga of the fish heads. Honestly the ending to it all was pretty hilarious. You saved the day. Everyone is happy. Everyone (except Eito) is alive. There's just one tiny problem. Everyone has a fish for a head. Small price to pay, I suppose.

I think I chose very poorly for my first route after the game truly begins. I wanted answers and got...nothing. I still had fun, but well. My original plan was to step back each choice to explore the sub-routes one at a time. But given that the entirety of 14_B is now labelled The Comedy Route I've decided go back further. I want a route that stands a chance of providing answers, and I don't think 14_B is going to give any.

Realized that what I said earlier about Chapter 9 was rather about 9A, didn't do 9B yet, hopefully that will turn out better.

It took me far too long to realize that 14B was a gag route, in hindsight I feel like I should have realized it when nobody could hear anyone but Sirei speak without the use of a Megaphone an inch away from the ear. Remember that if you ever need to detox from the serious business going on in other routes, that other portions of the comedy route are still here. Without spoilers, I recommend starting off from Darumi's chain text, plenty of laughs there, and it's closer to Day 100 anyway. Like you, I also killed Eito when turning back the clock as I felt he was too dangerous to keep alive (and still do), but I stayed at Last Defense Academy because I was undeterred by the threatening message on the board.

• Bring Nozomi and choose battles to heal up.
• Learn what the events do, and what happens if you choose certain options.
• Choose safer events (blue is mostly safe, yellow is risky, purple is dangerous)

On day 53. Is there some sort of choice I failed to make that is forcing me to convince Kako instead of Ima? Or is that just how it goes?

the boss theme that plays when you fight eito on day 95 is tops.

Keep going, all I'm saying.

oh yeah are you guys spreading out commander execution absorption or putting them all into 1 guy? ive been executing every commander with just takumi up until now but i dunno whether i should start getting someone else more powerful

I am gathering that the game is quite longer than the supposed 100 days. Am I hurting myself badly if I fuck up on gift giving maximization or is it fine if I don't reset if I happen to give a poor gift?

I feel like a dummy for apparently being the only one in this thread who only started looking at Eito funny once Ima and Kako brought up that prospect and how the invaders don't drain cryptoglobin, around the same time that Nozomi's secret is spilled from an anonymous source.

I'm pouring it all into Tsubasa and now Takumi. They are far and away the best units in the game.

Maxing Shouma was the best thing I ever did. With an 11 damage ult, he can clear an entire side every wave with 1 desperation potion. And I think his character would appreciate always being the first sacrifice.

My personal tier list is (don't click on this unless you have seen 15 fighters not including Takumi):
S+++++++++++++++++++: Tsubasa
S: Takumi, Kyoshika, Hiruko, Eva
A: Eito, Yugamu, Darumi
B: Gaku, Nozomi, Takemaru
C: Kako, Ima, Shouma
D: Moko, Kurara

14A_abb/aba Day 100 Damn, what a great route that was. Again no offense to 14B but I just really needed something with drama and stakes. What a beautiful pair of endings. Though for probably obvious reasons abb (Last Kiss?) was way better. I didn't get any answers I was looking for, but I did questions. So many questions. So there's some kind of parasite in Takumi. I wonder if this means he'll go crazy on every route. I think I'll stay on the Slasher route a bit longer. I want to explore the permutations, and this one is much more in line with what I'd been looking for. Though some of Hiruko's comments make me interested in choosing a route where I stay at the school. She seemed pretty traumatized from events there. But it's good to have very explicit confirmation that no matter what else happens. I can have 100% faith in Hiruko.

14A_b Day 56 Leapt a bit further back than the most immediate choice because standing up Hiruko was the most recent split and I just don't feel like doing that to her after the other ending. I'll back to that one later, but for now I've taken the split that results in Yagumo's immediate death and...subsequent zombiefication. Whatever could be going on? Well thankfully the Archive has my back this time. Says here a G'ie Queen lays eggs in corpses which then bond. So I guess Takumi has a queen or something inside him, or perhaps there's one in the school (Darumi and Gaku brought a friend from the field trip...) and it's making servants. Interesting.
