View Full Version : AotI: Illuminus's offline story (SPOILERS)



Menochi
Sep 28, 2007, 01:23 PM
I made a new topic as this contains not just movies but also allows full discussion of offline story mode without filling up page upon page with spoiler tags.

As I complete them and upload them, I'll provide the new custcenes, which really flesh out the story much more than was originally available with online's version.

Story missions work just like online, A B C with same level restrictions, you do get items for S ranking them, but no idea what all you can get and not that interested in finding out. Free missions now have C, B, A ranks as well.

All story related cutscenes have all chat voiced over, and facial expressions along with mouth movements during conversations. The mouth was apparently programmed to move based on the text the character said instead of the sound coming from the voice, as it will continue to 'talk' if that section of the conversations has ... at the end. lol

Characters start out a little better equipped (My beast starts out with 3 PAs, one of which is the ultimate saber PA) and they get the option of the tutorial that most people are familiar with online.

The tutorial skips things like lobby diamonds, because those aren't on the offline mode, but it goes over how Just Attack and Just counter work.

Its restriceted much like offline story was, where you could only go to certain places at the start, and things open up as you go. All the options of lumilass that are in AoI are available offline as well, though I haven't had the meseta to do much shopping yet. There aren't any lobbies for the free missions. Once you complete them it sends you back out to the city.

Youtube probably makes the subtitles illegible, but the voices should be enough to understand whats going on, as I'm too lazy to translate everything word for word.

Facial expressions example

Chapter 3:

Forgot which chapter:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kr8ZP4pQhA
Escaping from illuminus with Tomrain.

Chapter 10
Colony escape pod
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz9Ou-TrPb0

Colony crashing

And thats it! No more chapters! Time to go level up a spiffy PA and check to see if theres any additional special missions.

Thank you so much. This is awesome. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Can't wait for the other chapters.

Edit: One question, I don't know if this can be answered yet... but when you play episode 2 online with AOI, are these cut sceans in it? As I've heard it will have voices, but I don't know about these.

Facial expressions on the characters even have surprised and confused type images. I asumme those faces are available online as well, but haven't messed too much with lobby actions yet.

I wish my shigga desta could fire like that.
Are the weapon stats of offline mode like the ones in offline v1 or online v1? You know really low pp but higher ATP. I hope they are like online v1 because being a ranger sucks offline in v1.

Zarbolord
Sep 28, 2007, 02:21 PM
it doesn't suck u just have to have lots of weapons, specially dual weaponry, like sabers and xbow and such (xbow caps so fast offline compared to other PAs o.o) Anyway if online is much better than v1 I'll be happy.

Menochi
Sep 28, 2007, 02:31 PM
Seems like it was in offline, except guns get 4 pp a tick, while melee still gets 1.

Also, after beating the first chapter, and unlocking neudaiz, I saw a mission name I didn't recognize, so I went to go check it out...

Put the song in here: http://illuminus.gfxevolution.com/screenshots/

Skipped once near the beginning and theres footsteps at the start, but I let it go for about 4 minutes, so it should've hopefully looped at least once. lol

Since the missions isn't really story related (free mission) and shouldn't contain spoilers, I'm going to post screenies in the illuminus thread.

Did the maiden's dress reveal that much cleavage before? There seems to be more to look at now than I remember.

Also, Laia just killed a boss with two shotgun bullets. I'm hoping that was the C rank version, seeing how she could kill it with an underleveled PA and type disadvantage.

I didn't realize it was against the rules to link an mp3 otherwise I'd have reencoded it in a different format.

I was originally going to do a video, but when my fps dropped to 30, I changed my mind. Illuminus is doing some weird things, and sometimes the mian lobbies lag like crazy, and other times they're fine. Hopefully it works itself out.

After actually getting some levels, I found out that just attack and counter DO auto-crit. Just didn't hear the sound because of the just sound, and didn't see any real increase in numbers before. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

C rank GRM knuckle
110 pp
43 ATP
86 ATA

But at least just attack works, and the PAs are just as strong as they were offline.

I'll check to see if the cutscenes go into effect on the online story, but I somewhat doubt it.

Well the videos show the cutscenes from the new offline mode. If it is explained in those videos I would rather not watch them as I would like to see them as I play myself. At least, thats how I understood it.

So I was hoping someone could just tell me whether or not the new cutscenes along with voice acting for regular dialogue will be online as well as offline with AoI or will it only be the voice acting during the regular dialogue that is added.
Basically, is online getting EVERYTHING that offline is getting if not, what is it not getting?

Unless I'm missing something..

Menochi
Sep 29, 2007, 03:23 AM
Yes, the cutscenes AND voices are also available online while having illuminus installed.

In other news, I have now beat chapter 10 and am uploading the clips!

Not exactly, GRM has rods (I think canes too), bows, cards, daggers, twin daggers, grenade launchers, and I'm not sure what else.

Tenora has a bunch of stuff too, but the only things that are coming out for me are the swords, pistols, and twin pistols.

Ffuzzy-Logik
Sep 29, 2007, 06:37 PM
Yeah, I know. Probably just seems that way because the Yohmei guns just look so horrid.

So far, yes.

Anyway, Yohmei got Doublesaber, Twin Saber (and therefore presumably Saber too), Handgun (and probably Twin), Crossbow, Shotgun, Laser Cannon, Axe, Rifle, Spear, and maybe a few others I'm forgetting.

So, story mode in itself wasn't as fun as v1's? They actually made the extra mode part worth more than the story mode part?

Niloklives
Sep 30, 2007, 06:30 AM
the offline story missions so far are the exact same missions as the online ep 2 story missions. the off;ine extra missions are a mix online free missions and new missions from AoI. the v1 free missions have the variable maps and such just like online, though I cannot confirm there are rare maps yet.

I haven't found much but even compared to v1s story mode the drop rate seems better, granted this doesn't directly mean anything, but I think it's apparent that drop rate was likely improved all around.(not that we didn't all assume as muchalready)

maybe you missed the part when i said there were new areas...

it's better balanced than v1 extra mode as well too in terms of damage...but the classes seem more proken than ever...lol.

for you PS2 platers, the game is much smoother, you can tell just as you run around that the game is better polished. techs actually seem to stay in memory and you can switch weapon types freely once you've done it before rather than that slight pause.

this is more of a general system thing but...yo ucan actually dodge attacks now rather than develop a 6th sense as to where something's going to be. I saw a distova bareling at me and wads able to side step withib a second of him reaching me. so the hit boxes are vastly improved

Great example, tomorrow I'm going to kill some bears and wolves, and some sharks too, oh wait, they no longer exist where I live <.<

Doesn't say in the clip, the only stuff talking about is that she's got a new recruit that is under her, so she needs to come back to guardians HQ.

Maybe she's farming him for drops. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

she was protecting those birds. she's known for her love of animans...which i imagine is why she doesn't eat them

Yeah, the cute animals? Protect them right out. But the big fugly animals that have to live off of that stuff? Those must die NAO!

well..in Laia's defense...goug and their kind seem to have teamed up with the seed. remember, dimmagolus assaounted the relics on moatoob with the seed infected inhabitants...so I dunno. on the other hand, golus ems to be sentient...so I'm not sure "animal" does him justice

Wouldn't the fact that the Dimmagolus is sentient MAKE it an animal? I mean, as far as what I know, sentient = animal.

Yes. Sentient = animal intelligence.

Sapient = human-level intelligence.

Anyone who has finished story mode check to see what is for sale in the npc shops? Do they stop at 10* weapons/armor/units?

Chibi_psu
Oct 1, 2007, 10:27 AM
no,there are some 11 and 12 weapons in shops but they are still to expensive for me im only level 40 right now(12 weapons are 1,2 or 1,4 milion meseta)About armors there are some 10* and some unit 10* too(i guess you can hunt some units too cause there are s rank missions with almost level 100 monsters)

Im having problems to find a shadoog.Cant see any in a shop.Did you found one already Menochi?

And it seems ai npc is fixed or at least they are smarter now

sentient means self aware. most animals are not self aware. they react on instinct alone. theres a difference.

Was a light joke supposed to go into a serious discussion about whether or not sentience makes an animal? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

So no 13*-15* weapons or other equipment available offline? So maybe 13-15* will be called S2s and give a reason for the three? yet to be released master types.

Niloklives
Oct 1, 2007, 01:34 PM
well. I've gotten 15 star ore offline. so i'd imagine there are 15* weapons. might have to find them or S certain missions or something. but I'm pretty sure they're obtainable

Menochi
Oct 1, 2007, 01:38 PM
Theres 13-15 star synth mats in the shop too. Offline isn't a cheap rip like v1's was. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

So all those new Love Inferno pics are for offline? I read its a reward for getting S Rank on one of the story missions offline.

maybe you missed the part when i said there were new areas...

it's better balanced than v1 extra mode as well too in terms of damage...but the classes seem more proken than ever...lol.

for you PS2 platers, the game is much smoother, you can tell just as you run around that the game is better polished. techs actually seem to stay in memory and you can switch weapon types freely once you've done it before rather than that slight pause.

this is more of a general system thing but...yo ucan actually dodge attacks now rather than develop a 6th sense as to where something's going to be. I saw a distova bareling at me and wads able to side step withib a second of him reaching me. so the hit boxes are vastly improved



Are we still stuck with the Hunter, Ranger, Force classes from PSU v1 offline or do we get the all the same classes as everyone?

Hunter Ranger Force

So the offline story is the same as the online one...

My guess? It's there so that purely offline people can "catch up" to the online people.

Pretty much from what I heard except that there is cutscenes and voices along with facial expressions.

And about the classes, its Hunter Ranger and Force but a overpowered version. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

>_> it's not that hard. you can buy and synth 12* boards after you beat story mode. buy the 12* slicer and synth it light then synth a decent shadoog, ice or something. then get a stamina unit just in case and if you really want to besecure, run desert terror on A had get a rabol cati from a naval drop, or just buy one (24% dark). if you know how to do the just timing, you can usually two shot everything but the jusnaguns and gaozorans. for them, some decent light bullets would probably do the trick. or just stand back and let the shadoog do the work

where can i find a shadoog? there is boards in the shop?
