Im bummed out that there isnt a detailed stratagy guide out for Agarest. There is just way too much stuff going on not to have one. Decisions that affect CGs, paths, relationships all need details!

Then there is all the alchemy, art combos, and monster combinations.

I understand not doing a print one, as a game as niche as this one would have a hard time turning a profit, but an online one for a few bucks shouldn't be too hard.

and yes ive looked at wiki's and other user created things, they are no where near fleshed out completely yet (at least not any i have found)

still however love the game, no matter how many times ive restarted realizing that i did something completely stupid >.<

At least in restarting you can choose the opposite of what you did in the first go around. At least, that's how I justify it...

I feel for ya. I really wanted Aksys to do strategy guides too, especially for games like BlazBlue. But, it looks like they didn't think it was worth it.

Or they do not have the funding set aside for it.

i understand not having the funding for it, but if they hosted their own wiki type thing, they could easily set the format and have users fill in the blanks. I guess i want something more offical than gamefaqs or some of the halfway finished wiki sites out there. I know there was an RPG from a smaller company a few years ago that did something like that, and i really enjoyed it, because it wasnt just a wall of text (gamefaqs) and the devs would pop in from time to time to check the accuracy of it. really makes you feel like your doing something.

There was a guy who was on these forums that wanted to make the strategy guide. Where are they now?

ya thats the one i followed, and it still has too many holes and unknowns to the point i had to restart >.< for a game that was out last year in europe im not holding my breath on it getting finished just because the US release came.

True End path guide is not 100%, i followed it to the letter and still managed to miss 2 things in the first generation. something is missing, not sure what obviously.

I dont speak Japanese for the middle one (and translation programs hate my PC), and the first one didnt help me either. shows the same requirements as the wiki one, and i had those, and still couldnt get 2 scenes to show up.

trust me i looked around >.< as stated in the first post.

there must be some other requirement that i did (negative) or didnt (possitive) trigger to get it, thus that guide isnt 100%, which is why i want something from the publisher (or at least given a hand from) to fill in the many blanks in anything in english at least.

Which two scenes didn't activate?

Rigulus-Luana takes Leo to her bedroom turn 31ish (give or take one), was neutral (leaning light but still in netural) and luana was at the 3rd stage of the relationship, however i did get the doll and made the deal with the ruler

Chalcis (US)-Luana's clothes don't fit turn 34ish, neutral (dead center), luana 4th stage, got the flirting but not this one.

It could be something as simple as 'you must do it before leaving the area upon entering the first time' but none of the guides state that, and in my haste to see more of the story i left a bit early >.< but i got fyuria's doll after leaving, went back in immediately (after doll scene) and no luana scene.

@kuja: As the author of the guide, I can personally tell you that there is nothing wrong with it. I have had multiple people (myself included) verify that everything is correct. I know that some events will disappear if you progress too far or do them out of order. That is my best guess as to what happened.

then it should state that it must be done before a certain event as part of the requirements. I did get the 2 girls flirting before picking up the doll, but the 3rd rigulus scene never showed up, nor did the clothes scene in chalis.

Its wrong by omission as anal as that sounds, ive restarted (since somehow i did 8 saves without setting one aside before there >.< which is just my own stupidity lolz) so it really doesnt matter, but i was trying to find out if there were other things not stated, so that i dont mess up in say generation 5 and really get frustrated. Since it didnt say 'dont do X scene before this' i didnt think it mattered. at least its a decent game that i can handle restarting unlike some other recent RPGs (thou most of those dont need restarting as they are so strait forward)

Thats weird. I got to a point where there was both events that popped up, Luana and Fyuria. I did Fyuria's first and it closed out Luana's. I did Luana's first then went back to Fyuria and it worked. I also got the Luana sequence were her clothes don't fit afterward.

yes but i believe you did it before they both flirted with you? i did it after, which i believe (as well as topher pointed out) you cant do that event before the one i missed, and the clothes fitting probably cant be done without seeing her bedroom, or must be done immediately after they flirt with you? i totally did things out of order, and knew that going into this thread.

however i still think it would be cool for aksys to host their own wiki style guides for their games, so that they can edit it with authority if they have to.

@kuja: This was not ever meant to be a step-by-step walkthrough of the game. It is simply a list of all the events that affect the link gauge and affection levels and which choices to make (if any). It is a guide to get everything in one playthrough. It is not a walkthrough with every event in the entire game.

But I agree. An official guide would be nice for a game this long and expansive.

I was planning on starting over anyway, so I'm gonna use Topher's website method. I'm going to assume that this only unlocks all the CGs andd really has no effect on the titles...

@Quig: The only thing to keep in mind for the titles is that title 91 can only be obtained on Hard mode. And, obviously, you must get the True End.
