Also this video has no fade in/out, tho it auto adds a fade out anyways, by the video editor itself.
Well, we are here with a brand new game to playthrough. Welcome to Nora and the Time Studio: The Witch of the Mist/Misty/Foggy Forest (whatever pick your preferral), or just simply, Nora and the Time Studio, is a DS game made by ATLUS, taking a shot on Atelier-formula series (which I will still need to play someday. Maybe WitchSpring games are also kind one of them as well I think, but unsure.), where you play as Nora/Noora with her watcher Tikku, Keke, stay at a house, and train herself to be a Chronomancer for 3 years. This game is never localized, and is only thanks to fans of the game, we have fan-translation of the game. Also, there might still be offscreen grinding, if it's needed. Also this will be purely commentated only, but still more on kinda, and has less to say on things, unlike EO, since this is a blind playthrough.
This part... just checking what else we can do in our first run, and gain some money, before we enter the 2nd run, and the start of 2nd run. Well, at least I still show some funny scene with Ruttz and Juka in the end of 1st run. And with that, we enter the 2nd run. I guess you also can get to keep the Dotties you earn previously, but not the Tetra Marjas you bought/traded as well. Not that much anything new from the start of the 2nd run. My main issue about this game already, is you barely get anything at all from the start, and you don't get to keep even a single material. What you only get..... is money. While yeah, you can still get materials from it, it's just still not great, and you still have to buy everything back again at this point. If you only can start at least with the materials on the new run, I think you can really get a better start, and at least be able to fill the reputation that fast. But instead, you have to do get the requested items again for each required tasks.... again... I don't even know how to still fricking making the country cake game. If there's also as well a save editor of this game.... would be absolutely very nice, so I don't need the plan to cheat for infinite money for the later runs, which again is very useless anyways, to speak another thing about that, well you still start with very limited storage as well anyways.
And lastly my other main issue is foraging. This is one of the only things I think I should criticize as well. If only foraging a single item, doesn't take a day, or never takes a single day, except for forage more option and leaving. There are so many ways, to already like waste time in this game, even by just dismantling and processing. And with with many others. It's still so easy to pass by a number of months, all thanks to that. If there will be some kind of romhack, like in 7th dragon ds, that does have encounter decrease, well I'm not asking for that tho, I'm asking for like what I said that is needed for this game, only by forage more and leaving foraging, or even just dying there, should be the only one that takes days, then I would be more happier at this point to play that version instead.
For now, due to the issues I mentioned, my very strat on this game, is just slowly forage, accept quests this time, then do a lot of them, then either load game or load state from emulator, if not satisfied from gathering. Also we can't afford to waste a single day from dying.
Let's just hope we meet the daughter this time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
