aaaand there we go! finishing up GYROAXIA, here we have Miyuki's interview! his manner of speaking is so casual and fun, it flows really well

the mystery of who Nyankotarou technically belongs to (and subsequently, the mystery of who named him) remains to be solved ...

and now I can rest!!!

until Fantôme Iris interviews come out, that is ... god, so much chuuni-speak ...

others: Nayuta / Kenta / Reon / Ryou / Miyuki

I saw Li's post on her drawing of Kokoro in a cave costume, so I wanted to do a sketch of her chibi below:

I hope you like it!

can AAside staff stop releasing info FOR TWO SECONDS—

will edit this post as a follow-up to yesterday's cause the 4Gamer article from today goes into a bunch more detail on the stuff I mentioned there. but later.

because right now my favourite stupid telenovela is on and I wanna watch it

//e: alright my favourite stupid telenovela is over so let's summarise those news shall we! more pictures this time because I have space and because they're all so very cute ...

this builds on the previous post, so if you feel lost, read that one first!

details about the Everyday Life Part

I kinda misunderstood this last time since they didn't go into detail, but the actual Mini Quest isn't the activities you can pick, it's that thing up in the upper right corner of the screen, and you have to pick the activities to clear it. in this case, it's "let's advertise our live", so you'd pick the red flyer option. once you've decided on that, the character gets to work.

look at him handing out flyers in the rain! (last time he did that, he accidentally got the band involved with GYROAXIA ...) we also see Fuuta on this screen, so this could trigger a special conversation!

we've already seen the band practice screen a couple of times, but a bit more info on that:

you can only let the band practice if all five of them aren't currently doing anything else ... duh. (this was said in I think the Pash article too, I just didn't mention it lol ...) I'm not gonna go into the rewards super much until I get to translating & typesetting the screens, but this is how you get autoplay tickets!

in order to make these things go by faster, you can spend Dia or items. I'm ... not really sure if the Dia are their own thing (it does call it the in-game currency) or if they're just a stand-in for the Navistones we already know we're getting. up there on the screen the blue thing looks more like those Navistones, but ... what's the point of Dia if that's the case? questions, questions ...

once an assignment is finished, the characters go back to the share house automatically. so the share house acts as the hub.

as stated, you get the Live Quests from finishing the Mini Quests. this had me stumped for a while because I operate on one singular brain cell, but I think the Live Quest is just the thing in the upper right corner again, in this case "a lively rehearsal", so what you'd need to do is pick band practice. these Live Quests seem to be the exact same thing as the Band Quests we see on the Band Quest screen, now that I'm looking at it more closely. looks like the Band Quests are just the sum of Mini Quests & Live Quests, with Mini Quests being a lead-up before you can do the actual thing.

... I think I misunderstood (not even language-wise, but in terms of reading comprehension orz) what they were trying to tell me about the Band Quests last time and that's what's been throwing me off all this time. I'll go read that over again and fix it up in the main post wOOPS

from completing Live Quests you do get EXP points for your player rank as well as your card ranks! it also seems you get stories from it that you can read in the History section?

once you've completed all the Live Quests, you can attempt something called a "Band Live", which is the thing that's highlighted in gold with a ! up there on the screen, apparently. I have no idea what exactly that's supposed to be, but it seems you need decent cards to do it. my best guess is a session with a score goal, but as of now, it's still shrouded in mystery. in order to get the next Quests, you need to complete the Band Live.

I can't believe that in this game about boys playing live, the greatest mystery to me right now is what the hell a Live is

some things to note about Sessions

I didn't mention this last time because it's pretty self-explanatory, but the session difficulty ranges from EASY to EXPERT, just like in GaruPa.

also fun fact, on all of these screenshots that we've seen, the player has been hitting Goods, which seem to break your combo. I wonder why? like, it's kinda odd that even though we know someone's actively playing the game, they're only hitting Goods. maybe they're using autoplay and that feature only does that?

yesterday I wasn't quite sure if outfits & accessories were different things, but this one confirms it! for example, hats would count as an accessory. (I hope we get really stupid ones.)

something cute that's been said several times now by different people is that at first they were so mesmerised by the MVs that they failed the live lol. the MVs do look really good though ...

aside from this, I think I'll go and translate some of the screens now since it's probably a bit easier to grasp certain things if you actually see them, and also I just kinda feel like it (and maybe it'll help me understand what on EARTH is going on with the Live Quests / Band Lives) ... but yeah that's about it!

this article cleared up so much oh my god. I didn't realise how vague the wording in the other two was until I got some more details ...

This is sad.

Making picrews are so fun!!! It was kinda hard to make them, because they didn't have the exact items for their clothing, but they're adorable♡♡♡
