[LP]Battle Moon Wars: GET HYPE AGAIN!

[TenSARS]

Let's Play
One or more people, usually from message boards, that record themselves playing video games through screenshots or captured video (Mostly the latter). This can be any game, from Doom to Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

The most popular of the Let's Play videos come from the extremely difficult Super Mario World hack titled "Super Kaizo World". Usually Let's Play videos consist of jokes (Good, bad, and/or corny), frustration, and bewilderment by the ones playing. Some also explain gameplay, easter eggs, and general trivia pertaining to the game being played.

Abbreviation: LP

After much deliberation, I've decided that its time to GET HYPE for BMW again, as I never actually finished the first LP due to various reasons. So I've decided to restart this project now that I've registered on the new forums.

So first of all, here's a link to a special preview and introduction of the game, why I'm doing this, and how I intend to run it.

If you want to know some terms that I use later in the LP, it's best if you click here. Some of it is outdated because it's only to Act III, and there's some inconsistencies due to translation and all that, but there is good list of Spirits and Skills.

Also, KratosIrving was kind enough to make a list of Spirits and buyable FP Skills.

A BMW LP with audience participation? Count me in, and prepare for me to try and make Ryougi as hax as physically possible.

[TenSARS]

You won't be the only one. Trust me.

EDIT: Also, if anyone can tell me how to use HTML code in forum posts, you'll be awarded... cookies? Doubled voting for one of the episodes?

[TenSARS]

BOOYAR. Episode one is now up, and we complete stage one.

LP BMW 01 - The Youkai Menace

To reiterate the current polls in progress are:

1) Should I ban SP Regen?
--Yes
--No

2) Which route should I record first as the 'primary route' when both routes share a stage?
--Real: Haruna Route
--Super: Takumi Route

[SeiKeo]

If you're going on a blank playthrough... Ban SP Regen. It's OP, you don't need it for this playthrough, and you can do more interesting things with skills.

[Ruca_Milda]

Ehh, ban SP regen for lulz.

Also, I dunno really....but for the sake of it, let's go with Super.

BTW, Any chance you'll go back to Pictures instead of videos?>:

[TenSARS]

Pictures is bare time consuming. I don't think I'd be able to keep doing updates if I did do a picture LP. Sorry man.

[Kratosirving]

If I had to pick for a blind playthrough, I'd say no SP Regen. Hell, my first time through I only gave it to the Maids and Len just so they could keep using their heal abilities, I never even thought about the no-miss aspects of everything. (Man, I almost got throughly boned on the stage with Walachia and Araya because of it)

As for primary route, it's basically a toss-up of either Takumi and Tsukihime, or Haruna and F/SN. So...Super route for Sacchin ftw!

[Vritra]

Hmm ban Regen and can't decide what route so i vote for whichever has the fewest votes (not really serious)

[TenSARS]

Running Total

SP Regen Vote
-Ban: 4
-No Ban: 0

Primary Route:
-Super: 2
-Real: 1 (Because Vritra is awkward)

I'll be back home at like 6pm GMT today, and I'll start recording Epsiode 02 tonight. So if you want to vote still, now would be a good time.

Also later tonight I'll be splitting the thread into three. This thread will be used to post updates, and the other two threads will be used for discussion of their respective route/playthrough.

[Vritra]

Feel Free to ignore me in the event of a tie or just put me down for normal don't really care just couldn't pick one over the other really.

[KENTA]

I AM HYPE!

[TenSARS]

INDEED YOU ARE!

I've recorded and encoded the episodes btw. Now I have to like, upload the videos and put them online, which may take a while.

Derp

OK, I'd like whichever route involves more Sakura, and whichever option makes Sakura more useable.

[TenSARS]

Both options make Sakura very very usable. I'm going to be playing through both routes, so don't you worry, you'll get your double Sakura fix either way.

[SeiKeo]

Huh, I never found Sakura remarkably good. What's the right way to use her?

[Mike1984]

Both options make Sakura very very usable. I'm going to be playing through both routes, so don't you worry, you'll get your double Sakura fix either way.

OK. I guess that makes sense given the story behind it....

Well, I know too little about the mechanics of BMW to really know which is better (I only played the first few chapters). As for the route, I recall that one of them is more Fate-based, though, and I'm inclined towards that one being first when you are doing both.

[TenSARS]

LeopardBear: You wait until she gets upgraded to version 2 =w=

Then you stick her next to Natsuki/Rin/Akiha for massive long range debuffing/Attack Support/Defend Support goodness. She can also Armour break if I remember correctly, and she can also drop enemy Movespeed quite well too.

Also, she has a 10SP Snipe Spirit. Funtimes.

Whatever you do though, DON'T pick her for her third attack.

[terraablaze]

tried playing this but it wouldn't work on my computer because the menus wouldn't work, so I never got to see anything past the first turn.

[SeiKeo]

Ah, so that's how you do it. I mostly just ran on whatever I could until Kuji, upon which I just used mad counter Ryougi and anyone that had Reload.
