Or formerly known as Princess Princess V6. There were some change in plans on how the final project would look/start etc. So this defunct chapter is not usable anymore but it's still plot important.

So here you go! I still recommend you play the original PrinPrin then play this. Since you know, connected and all or some things won't make sense at all. There's also some freebies for defeating the final boss of the game that can be used for your game projects. Will you reign supreme?!

FIRST AND FOREMOST, WEAR HEADPHONES, CUZ YOU KNOW, MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS.

You can also press f5 for a fast and nice fullscreen! It doesn't stretch

Here's some tips and hints that will help you!

Don't read unless you really got stuck.

1. If you got stuck in one of the "puzzles."There's a boulder hiding behind one of the pillars.

2. Sairen-related

Spoiler

Sairen can act twice, try using Guard first then another command. Guard always make a character act first.

Spoiler

Check Sairen's character status menu and then Sairen's equipment. See that Contract? Make sure Sairen delivers the last kill to all enemies for more Ruby Roses. Also, make sure to pay attention to Sairen's damage output for every kill.

3.Lucky Fairy Revenge?

Spoiler

4. Kid-related

Spoiler

Spam Chocolates on Kid on the final boss to use the best skill that ever graced Princess Princess.

[Hesufo]

It is heeeeeeeeeeeere~. I'm gonna be playing through it now.

This looks so friggin' awesome. I want to steal your ambientation ideas. Also, wow, whoever worked on the scripts and interface customization deserves the praise of the gods <3

The first save crystal doesn't have Direction Fix ON!

I will be back to this. I'm very excited to see this new sample game, and it being so damn polished. Kudos to the Division Heaven team!

 

[Archeia]

ADeadfswgfwaqfasfda hahahaha I just updated the demo too!

Well minor gripes, also this isn't the sample game sadly! Aaaaa

As for the battle system, it's a very combined effort! But please praise rhyme for her pretty slanty boxes.

 

[crimcrim]

Archeia this is the first VX Ace game I every played and it's awesome. I love the intensity of the battle system.

ill totally keep playing this

 

[Emzie]

This is going to be a awesome game!

Gonna play this after i done beta-testing cyberdrive :3

 

[Jeneeus Guruman]

I played the old version before. I thought, this game will not continue.

Is the save file in the earlier version compatible to this new one?

 

[Archeia]

Not at all, this one is a completely different version.

 

[Jeneeus Guruman]

Copy. I'll try to play this game to forget my bad lucks today.

 

[EvilEagles]

I stayed up til 4AM just to wait for this and it's soooo worth it XD

 

[Hirei]

I will definitely play this once I come back! *raised fist* The battlesystem used in PP look really nice and challenging.

Just a friendly reminder to those who are going to play this game: Do not ever, EVER, let complacency take over you and your planned strategy, because the sadism in this game is SO FREAKING STRONG. This game is strictly not for the WEAK and those who can't control their temper.

Spoiler

Man I hate it when I'm like "OH YO LOOK HERE MAN I GOT THIS I GOT THIS HEYAAAAA" because my party is almost at full HP/MP/TP and the boss is only one Ultimate Skill away from Death. Then she unleashes that god damned magic that deals A HUNDRED AND THIRTY FREAKING THREE damage on the kid, which is a INSTANT DEATH. Imagine how it feels when you're like, preparing the ultimate final blow to put an end to the boss, and then he just sends an arrow to your knee and you go down for JUST THAT. And with Sairen left, I try to keep her alive as well as revive the kid, Sairen goes down soon after ;____; what so irritating is that, she was like feeding me at first, letting me deal all them damage on her and only dealing little damages to my party, and then when she felt that PLAYTIME WAS OVAR, she just KILLED OFF my party as easily as swallowing a piece of tofu ;____;

P/S:

Spoiler

I love Sairen. Period.

Therefore I'd be so disappointed if Sairen was a guy ;_____;

 

[PixelLuchi]

I like a challenge, so I'm downloading it now. And I concur with you, EE. I really do hope Sairen isn't a guy... ^^ So androgynous. Either way, I love the characters in this game ( but I love Remius and Elicia the most. ^^ ).

 

[Fafnir]

Sairen's gender will be forever a mystery.

Downloading and playing this LIKE A BOSS.

 

[EvilEagles]

Sairen's gender will be forever a mystery.

Downloading and playing this LIKE A BOSS.

And get tortured and slain LIKE A BUG. I'm not even kidding. You gotta be careful

To be fair...

[Fafnir]

Ironically, I only got killed once - by the two guards. After switching to SERIOUS MODE, everything else went down fast except for the final boss.

I never even realized Phantasmagoria existed because chaining Quick Slash was so powerful, lol.


Against the goddess, Defend+Chain worked wonders; I opened with Little Meteor, alternated Defense with Roses, healing with the kid, then chaining Q like mad once I had lots of TP. Counter didn't hurt much. Around the end, she started using very powerful attacks so I started to defend with the kid and use him as a sacrificial target while I built TP up again.


I was planning on removing the gem to get rid of the Black weakness, but then it slipped my mind. -_-


And since he was constantly dying, no Akasha.


Endgame score (pre-boss): Contract 36, Rank 3.

My thoughts:


Both graphics and dungeon layout were simple but extremely good. Puzzles were standard, but with enough variation not to be boring.


I loved the way you used the angel to increase player involvement. The character banter was great.


Encounters were a bit monotonous for my tastes, with the only weaknesses being Fire/White. I never used gems outside of Roses.


There were a few typos around, like misspelling "stupidity" in the final boss description, and no period at the end of Tyrfing's, but they were very minor.


Having healing stations as save points while being able to save anytime was strange, though. Equipment saw little to no use except for the kid's gem, and the purpose of Sairen's only removeable item was a bit unclear - did it halve encounter rate?

Spoiler

Spoiler



The final stage was AMAZING. Materializing pillars! Spaaaaaaace! O__O

All in all, I give this a high score. I only wish it was longer.


Congratulations on the work, I hope we'll be seeing more chapters soon.


EDIT: What screen resolution did you use? 640x416? It's a weird ratio. Looks good though.

 

[Archeia]

Yay feedback \o/


Thank you very much for playing and I'm glad that you liked the character banter!

Spoiler

Ah yes, the ever abuse-able Quick Slash. IF you get countered 3x in a row that's where it gets iffy but alas. I actually lowered her counterattack rate since some people just can't win against her 8'D; (It was 30% before)


For Sairen's equipment, the Bertud, the effects are actually Eva+15%, MagAtk +15%, Critical + 15%, Reflect+3%, Counter Attack+3%, Hit Rate+15%


It doesn't exactly affect Sairen's stats but you know


Sorry about the encounters! The reason I made them all Fire/White weak is so that you won't have a hard time killing them with Sairen since s/he starts off very weak with Kid one-shotting them. That would be terrible for your contract


The healing stations aside from healing you actually acts like a marker and as a warning~!


Sometimes people actually forget to save! I saw a lot of people doing this since they're used to save points so healing stations are a reminder that save your progress before you die brutally and lose all your progress.


And we're glad that you liked the subspace, we worked hard on that!

Thank you once again for playing


And yes it's 640x416, it looks really nice when full screened too (the f5 version~)

 

[Hesufo]

This dayum game.

Damn you Nessy, now I've realized the benefits of the wider resolution, and started using 640x416 res in my own game! Got to edit ALL THOSE TEXTBOXES.

All in all, the game was extremely well polished. I kinda slept on the laurels and didn't beat the final boss, but eh... I'll get to it eventually!

I'll be looking forward to the next iteration and, of course, Porcupine Princess

 

[Fafnir]

Damn you Nessy, now I've realized the benefits of the wider resolution, and started using 640x416 res in my own game! Got to edit ALL THOSE TEXTBOXES.

Same here. I had already switched mine to classical 640x480, but now I'm tempted to go with this ratio as well.

Well, I shouldn't probably bother until I have a good portion of the game ready so I can compare them.

(Though man, I thought I was being original in my use of Alchemy, except Sairen does the exact same thing. I'll need to spice it up some other way...)

Re: Bertrud: Holy crap, that's a lot of Ex-Parameters.
