I was just wondering, isn't there a version of this game where you play as Sanae? Is it a trial or a full version?

Yes, there is. It's in the Reitaisai 7 thread, check page 8 for info as well as a Cirno version.

[grgspunk]

Are they trial or full versions?

[Duvet]

I'm pretty sure they're the full game

Yeah it's a full version (that's the one I'm currently playing). It's a lot harder than the Reimu version. The cirno version is just.... crazy. Drink water = you're dead. Go near lily white = you're dead. Use a heat based spell card = you're dead.

[phoziggy]

the demo version has 10 floors.
the full version has 23 floors (confirmed through Yukari's dialogue in the game)

if you manage to sell and scam Rinnosuke for money at least 3 times in the same run, you can get over 1.5 million score easily. requires BS luck for that.

*Edited some facts as pointed out by phoziggy.

Ran- Can fling one of your equipped weapons/armors away. This is very devastating for the gap shield since it breaks when it hits a wall.

Eirin = Level 1 Slow arrow. Level 2 Sleep arrow. Level 3 Explosive Arrow

Yuyuko- Aside from stealing your precious food, she attacks and kills(eats) mystia if they are in the same room and if she's not asleep.

Lily White- Immediately kills Cirno and Letty if they are in the same room. Will turn Cirno into water.

Aya- See below

Tenshi- Earthquake attack's damage is based on distance (up to 3 tiles across tenshi.) The farther, the weaker.(Damage is 30, 15, and 5 accordingly for the 1st tier Tenshi)In her final tier, she can hit all around the map.

Rinnosuke- See below

Mokou- Has also a chance to resurrect. Can burn talismans (like her trap)

Alice- There is something about the dolls that will make it shutdown after some time (turns gray). I think you just have to leave it for some time for that to happen.

Tatara Kogasa- See below

Patchouli (all forms)- Receives some amount of damage (5 damage for the basic form, 10 for second and 15 for third) while moving due to asthma. Spells: Switch, slow, stop for tiers 1-3 respectively

Iku- She can also use a lightning attack, which always hits, unlimited distance around the room and gives a status effect (tier 1 Iku = 20 damage and slow,tier 2 = 30 damage and confusion, tier 3 = ???). You'll probably want to synthesize komachi's scythe to kill her as she does not use the special attack that often when in melee range. Bringing an amulet with the specified status immunity also helps.

Tewi- Haste, receives only 1 damage, does not attack. When killed, she drops a level up potion.

(Boss) Yukari- Fires Master Sparking from Middle Gaps, 50 damage. Summons level 1-2 Ran and Chen from left and right outer Gaps. Summons a freight train (55-72 damage + fall down damage of 1-3 damage range), when you're in melee range with her

[phoziggy]

The storehouse gap does not do anything at the moment for the Sanae Express game. In the Reimu game, it does send the items back to the warehouse but not this game. It is basically a "recycle bin".

Some potions can cause status effects on monsters. if you have a sleep potion, dizzy potion, poison potion, etc..just throw them at the enemy.

Alice's doll goes into sleep mode by turning itself gray.

Aya just gives you a newspaper if you have room in your inventory but she steals 1000 yen around. If your inventory is full, Aya can't
stuff you a newspaper.

Kogasa scares enemies, causing enemies to not attack you by chance.

Rinnosuke is not immune to "slow" status. He has about 300 hp. If you make him disappear or you defeat him, he'll summon a robot version of himself.
Even if you kill the robot, he'll summon the robot endlessly.

Tried playing the Reimu game. Not has hard as Sanae's, but honestly, the creators were sadistic (even more than the creators of Izuna and that's saying something). If it wasn't for the synthesis gap and the storehouse gap, the player wouldn't be making any progress at all... I'm seriously thinking of using cheat engine for this one.

I also found out:
八意湿布 does not weaken target (as stated in page one). It actually removes all negative effects from you.
Getting newspapers in Reimu mode contributes towards an end archive of bunbunmaru newspaper (I can't read japanese but I can guess that there are 14 issues in all. You can only access this when you finish the game.

Aquastyle released the finished version of Sanae's Express Trial game (up to date it's at version 1.11).

-added 3d animated OP
-new bgms
-new map pattern
-new "extra" stuff (e.g. - short scene where Sikieiki sentences you to death for attempted robbery from Rinnosuke)

I noticed they made stealing from rinnosuke a lot harder. baww!!!
the flandre weapon combo is useless now. (kill the exit with that weapon and you can relocate the exit near the shop)

[Duvet]

Welp, trying to patch the games, but they literally take forever to finish.

[grgspunk]

According to Aquastyle's website, the Sanae version is supposed to have been released on the 15th of May.

What the hell is going on? I thought the Sanae version we had was the full game? Goddammit, do the current links here take us to some sort of trial version, or is this a new patch?

[Duvet]

Well, technically, when the first Fushigi no Gensoukyo came out, they had an extra dungeon where you can play as Sanae.
2010.05.23 is for the Reimu game.

In the second game, Sanae became the official main character in her own game.

One of the latest patches for the game came out with an actual Opening for the game, which you see from that Youtube link.

[phoziggy]

ok i take that back about stealing from rinnosuke.
there is a trick to prevent from the robot version of rinnosuke to appear but there is still a small chance you can get instant killed by
Sikieiki.

you get to fight reimu in the extra sukima level.

Not to mention there's currently eight of them too (patch 1.12). I've long deleted the game and now have to re-patch everything.

[Duvet]

You pretty much have to dedicate the entire day to patch the games sadly.

[Darksheeth]

Some changes to the game. Suwako's hat provides 10 base defense for Sanae. Gap shield has a base of 2 def, but has a chance to master spark. Knives do more than usual damage if hurled at the enemy.

Hetate: Identifies one of your items (she can try to identify an identified item).

Yuka: Not aggressive. Aggressive when hit, always make a critical hit which sends you breaking through walls. Leaves flowers on the floor.

Sakuya: Can teleport right next to you. Hits hard. Places knives on the floor (it's like how she slows down knives in Scarlet weather rhapsody, IAMP, etc.)

And another one for Reitaisai SP (Most likely the full version)

The names for the new games are:

The Summer Trials/地上からの脅威！？ -> C78
Under the moonlight -> Reitaisai SP

[phoziggy]

Yeah. The complete version of the game supposedly will be released at the reitaisai special on september 19th.
and it's only THIS game. there is no other game.

[phoziggy]

so i poked around the game a bit.

you can't really advance to the main game without getting the stuff from the old well where you can farm some items/money.
scum saving still works apparently but you can't save your progress. you die, you start over, you lose all your items and money.
you can only scum save your items in storage.

tewi and cirno gives you some nice weapon/armor to start off.

you can play as Akyu at some point but i think that happens randomly after Reimu dies or something.
