is there a complete save out?

The complete save is a dissapointment, good for reference but not as interesting as some of the hacked rance saves fyi.

That said, does anyone have any recommendations for how to clear Takabane Sae? The wiki says you cant have other heroine love stats above 2, and given you have to engage NPI to have her show up any tips or suggestions? Only thing I can think of is to declare war on them first and hope she shows up at the same time and fight a two pronged war against them and PGG.

So I've played this game pretty extensively(and I mean extensively) and came to the realization that while this game is fun(duh), it frustrates perfectionist players; Unlike 99% of other games of similar genre, it's impossible to clear/do/conquer all the characters/events you'd like to see, not in one game anyway(if you wanted to see/experience everything, you'd need something closer to 7-8 full clears, with a walkthrough in hand). There's also the matter of unusually harsh game environment and somewhat hard to understand system(curry houses practically required early game + keeping up loyalty).

So here's some pointers:
1. You do not have to attack or even defend every turn. If you get attacked and do not wish to lose a "3 bases" territory when you cannot do so without losing defending characters, simply engage then retreat immediately(button at bottom center). Put stronger character there next turn to defend.

2. You can obtain glowing algae from transylvannia on a full moon to slow down loyalty loss(moon status most easily checked when saving/loading). To do this the lake must be supressed beforehand(meaning it takes 2 turns total).

3. You can mass recruit honeys(clay guys) once you conquer dream land and join the cult. I believe you get one honey per visit afterwards(great for stationing to get income + cheap defender, etc).

4. If you have trouble managing BP at all, visit honey engineering then attack yokohama first in national chapter. Build curry houses in every territory until you have 5-6 then you should be golden.

5. Having done #4, "public order" is largely useless. If order starts declining(and it doesnt even become problematic until you leave it in that state for 2-3 turns at least) you can simply pay 10BP to restore order.

Hi there i have a question

If i finished the game and cleared some of the characters would the stats be added when i play a new game again?if not is there a way to make them strong when playing a new game+?

I lurked around some places(wiki and hongfire mostly) but couldn't find an answer to this: Is there a reason why I can't trigger some of the events even when conditions are met?

I can't get the event triggers for yuuki's 4th star(station cleo+yuuki in tottori) / sayuri's 5th star. I had hoped that there's just a time restriction in place(the trigger to recruit comet-san took a while to appear after supressing observatory, for example) but I've had yuuki and cleo stationed in tottori from turn ~15 all the way to turn 99 but... no trigger visible still(I've reloaded and tried "emptying out" all other triggers in tottori just incase). Stuck at 3rd star for yuuki and 4th for sayuri because of that...

Sayuri's 4 and 5 star clears actually have a timelimit, you must complete them before turn 80. Not sure why the Yuuki 4th isnt showing up, have you talked to him/her? I did not have a problem with it showing up as male yuuki.

Is there a hidden requirement for Todoroki Yuu's 5th star that is missing on the wiki? Like Tomoka being alive? Or must many more then 10+ battles after the farie powerup?

Also, what's the requirement for the Mac's Dungeon showing up? The wiki event list says there's some event in amouri on a full moon that spawns it in tatouri but i've been unable to reproduce that series of events?

For guyver's dungeon, step by step:

1. recruit him
2. talk to him once
3. interrogate an eyeless generic character
4. trigger northern bar event Aomori
5. wait for full moon then try looking in tottori

As for Yuu, I've had no problem with it; I simply stationed him in Shinjuki for the battle count(like I do with everyone who require battle count) and sure enough ~10-15 battles later the event triggered itself and cleared(he didnt actually seem to get a power up, just crap boring event and 5th star).I did have tomoka in my roster, but not in the region and the event seemed to involve only Yuu and some fairy(I also had Sonnet in roster, who did have a bunch of beginning of turn events after both of their characters got 5 star clears, so you might need sonnet)


P.S. So... I restarted just to get the reverse trap's 4th and 5th star... but still no go. I even tried turning him/her/it to the female form but the flow of events stop when Francine tries to molest him yuuki runs away then yea... stuck in that stage for 10 turns then I gave up... yet again. At this point, I must ask: Do you just get 1st, 2nd, then 3rd star(I got this far) then as soon as you've gotten 3rd star you can just station him/her/it in the pyramid region with cleo and there's an event there you can click? Is there a beginning of a turn event that indicates the availability? Anything ;_;?

PPS: I looked around and there's a guy who's been able to get 4th and 5th stars only and not 1,2, or 3... wtf? is there a condition that prevents this?

Ah thanks for the info on both accounts!

I did the yuuki clear with Ijuin rather than Francine for what that's worth. On the translator's playthrough it notes that there's some random trigger with yuuki that no one knows about. You could be hitting that.

Well, I'm stuck.

Never mind, I was just being stupid

Can someone tell me why my prisoners keep going missing? It's getting more and more annoying...

Gah... No wonder, interrogation. I was wondering why all the characters I want to recruit suddenly disappear. Thanks.

EDIT: Ridiculously fun to play for an old game, AliceSoft probably makes the best RPGs I've ever seen yet. They draw beautiful and unique girls too, anyone of them can be used as a main character. It has less content (probably untrue) and story compared to Sengoku Rance (Unfair comparison) but BBA's ending is stunningly touching for one so short. You just WISH for a goddam sequel after finishing it.

The only bad news is the system I guess, and surprisingly I almost ran out of time even though I was around 65+ turn when fighting the last territory.

I'm not giving it another round until the patch is done, well wanting to fully enjoying the game is one reason but another is that it's too addictive. I've already sacrificed sleep for this (SR too, during an exam...) and my health needs a few days to patch up.

EDIT: True ending is Kunagi's ending, yes?

FINAL EDIT: ZANMA GOU IS DA BEST! ROUGA BE DAMNED!

Geh... I'm having trouble unpacking this. I keep getting "file is broken" when I get to unzipping the part I would guess is part4, but I've already dl'd part 4 twice to make sure it's intact. Is there any way I can at least tell if a file is corrupt?
