I never saw much of a point in the NG+'s in Nippon Ichi's games. You're so ridiculously powerful at that point that there's no challenge at all.

That does remind me, though, in the Tactics Ogre remake I mentioned in the other thread, they have the best NG+ feature I've ever seen. You know how the game has three different paths, Lawful, Neutral, and Chaotic? After you beat the game, you can jump back to the decision points in the earlier chapters and play through the game on a different route with your end-game party, and all the enemies scale up to your level and equipment. Not only that, but the bosses only carry their rare weapons when they're at high levels, so there's plenty of incentive to go back and play through all three paths.

Well the point in the Nippon Ichi games was to get the other endings, and if you wanted a challenge on subsequent playthroughs you could always ask the council to raise enemy levels after all (for Disgaea, I forget the process in the other games). Tactics Ogre does it pretty well it appears, letting you go back to specific decision points is better than replaying the beginning over and over.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

That's a fair point. I forgot about the multiple endings since I never really pay that much attention NI's plots. Not that they're as incoherent and extraneous as, say, Trinity Universe's story is, but Tactics Ogre is in a while different league when it comes to storyline.

Which is kind of the point, I think, considering that most/all of NIS's games are parodies of the genre. And, I did like Etna mode in Afternoon of Darkness. That was neat. And Etna's awesome.

[Serra Britt]

I ADORE Etna. I actually keep thinking about making an Etna cosplay here :P I do agree that the stories in most of the NI games is pretty out there but I still like them a lot. Especially Soul Nomad's evil path xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I used Etna in Cross Edge through most of the main game, despite her not being anywhere near to the strongest character. She's just so deliciously psychotic. :D

And speaking of cosplay, I wonder if we have enough pieces for a Hiro cosplay. I'd have to get my hands on a Cyber Reaper, but other than that... maybe. Here's a pic of her. You think it could be done?

[Serra Britt]

I don't know about the clawed hand, I'm not familiar with all the items (where's Lucid when you need her? xD) Also the bottom of the dress might be tough. But everything else looks doable :3

As for Etna I think I'd need a devil tail (I know it's in one of the items somewhere) and the rest I could probably do with commons. Except maybe the hair...

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Azeil's Claws would be an okay facsimile, though I'd have to hide the right-hand claw somehow. The flame design on the dress would be impossible, I think, so would the fire-aura thing, too, though she doesn't always have that. The rest should just be tricky layering.

And Etna needs a spear, don't forget! (Though I give her an axe usually, just 'cause she looks like she'd like using axes. :p)

-poofs in-

....That looks like a difficult cosplay.....It's a bit too specialized for what Trisphee has right now, IMO.

[Serra Britt]

Oh, right...weapons >< I could probably do dozens of cosplays if not for the weapon part >>

[Espy]

Wanted to make an RO assassin cosplay, but.....even though it isn't really specialized, we still don't have the items/colors.

[Serra Britt]

I want to do Aisha or Rena from Elsword also. I could probably pull it off if not for the weapons but I'm trying to save my Aurums xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Yeah, you're probably right, Espy. Plus, even if it could be done, it would take forever to hunt down all the pieces, likely.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

The best flame dress I can think of is solar kingdom and maybe princess dress since they're poofy and yellow, but could always go for a poofy skirt and red pants maybe? There's one that looks like a big tutu of sorts. The devil tail is in yearly items at the moment, I believe.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Here's another pic without the flames, though I think this one would be even tougher. The details on the dress are flat-out out of the question.

[Espy]

Aisha? You might be better off making Arme from Grand Chase.

[Serra Britt]

@Suzerain, It would be awfully fun to try if not for all the expensive parts required xD

@Espy, Both are simple and complex depending on how much detail I'd go into really.
