Trying to make me confused about which difficulty I'm playing on? That has to be Koishi, doesn't it? I mean, it could be someone else trying to make it me think it's Koishi, but who else would do that except Koishi herself?

This time, the replay even syncs on the original game. Try it yourself if you need proof:

The gameplay didn't turn out too well here (bombed several phases that I can normally survive on Lunatic, forgot my trance gauge was full sometimes), but that's not the point of this video.

Created using Cheat Engine: start the game normally, set the difficulty to 5, press Esc-R to restart (Overdrive should appear in the top-right), feel free to close Cheat Engine after that. Setting the difficulty to 4 (Extra) has similar results in TD. Doing this to set the difficulty to Extra in SA stage 6 produces the same stage as in my earlier video by the way, except without the glitched conversations or Extra music (but with the insane Hell's Tokamak and non-disappearing spell names).

I wonder what determines whether a boss uses a normal card, a partial version of a card, a non-card that looks like a card but with lower health, a phase that does nothing, or skips one or more phases entirely... It does seem that each boss consistently uses their Overdrive in place of the corresponding card, though, with the exception of Yuyuko and Tojiko because they were defeated before they reached that phase.

On a somewhat related note, setting the power to 5.xx in TD results in just the main shot when unfocused (there are three options but they don't fire anything) and the trance shot when focused, except for Youmu, who gets her focused shot when unfocused and nothing when focused. Setting the power to 6 or higher (or to at least 1.00 above the maximum in MoF, SA, or UFO) crashes the game if you try to focus.
