AffectatiousDonk Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) The article on N4G.com says that only a small number of trophies are available in original mode. It is worded a little strange so perhaps everything is available in refrain. It also mentions there is no story change between original vs refrain, if this is the case I imagine a second playthrough skipping scenes will be quite quick.

GamingWithAbyss1 Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yeah sorry one article made it sound like it wasn't a big deal. So when I check the trophies list out, I notice some trophies in refrain mode. It's a bad habit when hunting for a platinum. I tend to shorten the time whenever it possible. It doesn't mean I'm speeding through the game. I'm going to do everything within the game just in Refrain mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading the trophy descriptions, it seems like at least three trophies are exclusive to Refrain Mode. Everything else looks like it can be obtained in either mode. I started with Original on Standard difficulty and will do a quick second Refrain playthrough on Casual skipping everything I've seen before. I imagine I could get from the beginning to where I am now in Opus 2 in like 10 minutes if I skipped all the scenes.

Kurorac Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) So what's the difference between these two modes then? Edited July 12, 2018 by Kurorac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original mode = Shining Resonance Refrain mode = Adds previously DLC-locked characters (Excella-sama, Jenus) to party from the start, their Date and Night events are added, etc... If I were to name it, it's NG+. What mainly kinda bothers me is players having Excella-sama right from the start without knowing her prior. She's a fantastic character and deserves to be known through story so you start wishing she would join your party instead of just getting her immediately. Another thing... I think it's not a spoiler if I say that you will be fighting Excella-sama in the game. If you play Refrain, you can actually use your own one against the enemy one. That's not really a good thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waifus need Love Personality and males need House Personalities in order to have their ending available. Personalities are awarded for date events. Date events happen when you are successful in raising a character's affection through choosing correct responses in M.O.E.S. It's an actual date, you walk with your partner around the town and usually get CG. On 4th date event, they get the Personality you need. Then, before the final fight, your partner characters will be standing in a circle. If they have a heart marker, it means they have their ending requirements cleared. You just talk with one such character (Kirika-sama best girl, Excella-sama close 2nd) and then after defeating the final boss, their ending kicks out. 41 minutes ago, sandra1957 said: Also is there like consequnce like u date one person only to lower the other characters affinity or is there no consequences You don't really 'date' them per se (you need males as well, no dating there, okay?) so affection only affects one character. Choosing a correct option on Kirika-sama's MOES only raises her affection, does not decrease anyone else's. Disclaimer: I'm not sure if the terms are the same in the localized version, just look for a close term 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since it doesn't have 'Refrain' in the description. On the other hand, trophy rarity does incline it could be Refrain-locked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since you only get Kirika-sama and Sonia (excluding Yuma) in your party at the start, there will be a free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, because I understand the distaste of gaining someone before you even met them. It was in one of Neptunia games (maybe it was Re;birth) you get a DLC Character a little too early before meeting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
