Alrighty. So I figured Ill just give a brief update on some additions/changes I am making. Nothing that will have an affect on the story this early, but will definitely be for further down the road.
*Added a charge stat to the omni weapon. Depending on the ranged weapon you pick the initial charge will change and once they are used up the weapon will revert to a default un-powered melee weapon, so katana, bastard sword, knife, etc. Every time you fire the weapon, or use certain abilities in melee form it will use up a charge. Pistol begins with the most charges, plasma canon with the least.
Because the power cell is damaged in the beginning of the story there is no way to recharge it. However if, further down the line you manage to find a secret side quest you can find an undamaged cell which will give your weapon unlimited charges. Keep in mind the side quests to find future tech will be hidden behind multiple requirements to find, the charge cell being one of the easiest to find.
*I have added a Romance and Family stat to Fumiko. In order to successfully romance her both must be positive. Remember her children are the most important thing in her life and if the MC can’t accept that and help raise the kids there is no chance to be with her.
Depending on the stat number different interactions with Fumiko and her kids will be opened. For example if the romance stat is high, but the family stat is low you can have a one time fling with Fumiko, but she will dump you immediately after. If the Family stat is high but the romance is low you are basically adopted as an honorary member of the family with the kids seeing you as something of an older sibling and Fumiko becoming a good friend. If both stats are low there will be a point were the family will leave and be removed from the rest of the story.
Just a heads up for everyone on the Fumiko RO train.
*In regards to side quests, not every single one will be available in every playthrough as which ones are initially open are determined by your actions in the prologue. There are also several points which will further decrease which side quests become available.
There will be one ending which can not be achieved unless you have undertaken a number of side quests to recover future tech. I do not intend for this ending to be easy to get.
Oh! And one final thing, an answer to a question a friend asked me. No you can not “Back to the Future this bitch”
The very second the Behemoth appeared in 1563 your timeline was erased and even if you could travel to the 2800’s they would be drastically different from your original timeline.
In other words, no, you can never return to your time.
