From the capital beneath the waves, a journey across distant time and spaceー

On a boat to Dan-no-Ura, college student Yuikawa Akari encounters an unprecedented storm. Monsters swarmed the sky above.

The one who protected her was a graceful man clad in kimono.

Carrying Akari in his arms, he throw himself into the deep sea.

What awaits them is the place where the Dragon God reigned, the city of water, the "Dragon Palace". Chosen as a "Priestess" by the Dragon God, Akari will embark on a journey with the "Eight Leaves"ーheroes who have left a mark in historyーto save time and space.

And that's the end of the intro! Below here is translator's note, feel free to read/skip it. I'll write a different post for my general thoughts of the hachiyou (and maybe another post for agf recap?)

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

i know, there's too much tl's note. some of these probably don't even need tl's note. but let's just go over them one by one, shall we?

1. 苦労性: from what i looked up it points to someone who worries about the smallest detail, hence worrywart. maybe there's a word that's more fitting, but i couldnt think of anything else atm

2: 桜霞の世界: 桜 is sakura, 霞 is mist/haze. using mist made it sound like a perfume in my head, so haze. sakura haze didn't really sound good either, so flower haze.

3. from what i often see, 海月 is usually read kurage (jellyfish), but i also saw kaigetsu and midzuki on google, so i'm not entirely sure which reading they're using.

4. 腹の底が見えにくく: when it's hard to see what someone's actually thinking/feeling. saw some synonyms on weblio and one of them was 本心を見せない。highlighting the 見せない part, which to me feel intentional, hence secretiveness.

5. creative liberty. og line was: その身を委ねておいで. i was trying to make kiyomori sounds less uptight than yoritomo

6. i just cannot, for the life of me, wrap my head around the concept of 残酷な気分. like, how does that even feel???? from what i've seen 残酷, depending on context, can be cruel, brutal, ruthless, etc. but i thought writing "feeling cruel/ruthless" just doesnt translate well in english? then i tried to show it through action, so uhh hopefully you can feel his ruthlessness?

7. 燎炎の世界。燎 (kagaribi/ryou): burn, bonfire. 炎 (honoo/en): blaze, flame. hence blazing flame.

8. what i heard was 今後は私も、あなたと不思議な縁を感じながら、芋を食べるのかもしれません. but i felt like i couldnt quite hear what he was saying, especially at the 芋を食べる part. and then i remembered how kanetsugu (haruka7, counselor? of the uesugi clan) had a thing for like rice? and its production?? so i went on google and looked up 「上杉謙信　芋」 😂 found some articles that said ramie fibers (青苧) might be his source of income, but apparently that still haven't been proven yet? and that wasnt really related to what i was looking up, so 😅

also looked up 「上杉謙信　じゃがいも」and 「上杉謙信　さつまいも」jic (bcs いも just wasnt clear enough) and found out he held a feast before battles to pray for victory? one of the dish is called 串芋 and it used taro? so maybe he *was* just talking about eating taro??

9-10. creative liberties.

11. if i didn't mishear anything, he's saying: 神子さん、受け入れがたい条件かもしれないが、一つ言っておく。命と正面から向き合うな。潰れるぞ. am a bit unsure about the 命と向き合う part

12. there's a lot of thought behind this choice, so bear with me for a sec. original word is 朝幕, and google search showed that it refers to imperial-shogunal relationship. doesn't really sound nice for a world name. if we break down the word, 朝 (asa/chou) means morning, and 幕 (tobari/maku,baku) means curtain. according to a yahoo answer, "tobari" is usually used to depict something that you use to cover something else so you can no longer see what's behind it, so it's more synonymous with night. searching up 朝のとばり led me to fgo's oberon noble phantasm, which didn't really help lol.

"maku" can mean acts (in a play) or end of said act. i was going to use the 2nd meaning (since bakumatsu was also the end of the tokugawa shogunate), but i just couldn't think of a word. end of morning would be noon, which is just ???? for a name. but curtains can also raise, which would show the beginning of something. and what's the word that shows the start of a morning? dawn, daybreak, etc. i just happened to really like the word daybreak lol

13 & 14. creative liberty. i'm trying to make him sound like a military man, but i uhhhh may or may not have made him sound more aggressive than he actually is??? but he does sound cold/gruff in his lines so??

15. og line: ちょっとした戯れだ。上官の腕を振りほどくなんて真似はするなよ。just a guess, i think theyre on a mission which required akari to be holding his hand/arm (like a couple)???? and hes probably flirting with her?? and she's flustered??? idk man. BUTTT he said it in a much lighter tone than the first two lines so it's all in good spirit?? hopefully???????????

16. strange, but not in a bad way? more in the 不思議, unknown kinda vibe?

17. they're using a more archaic? version of "you", 汝. not fluent in shakespearean english so i'm just using the usual "you" here.

18. 炎を操る: controlling/manipulating flame, hence pyrokinetic. could be pyromancer too tbh. was going to use "flame-manipulating invader" bcs i saw a yugioh card called flame manipulator lmao, but it felt too mouthful to say.

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4: Mizuho no Kuni - Character Tracks (Pt.1)

Japanese Title: 遙かなる時空の中で4~瑞穂の国~

Disclaimer: I only own the translation. Everything else is Koei’s/Ruby Party’s. I tried to keep the meaning as intact as possible, but I also took some creative liberty here and there. Also, do note that English and Japanese aren’t my native language. Translator’s note will be put at the end of the post.

Aaand with that out of the way, finally! First post! The album consisted of 10 character tracks, two songs, two 20 minutes drama tracks, and one 10 minutes drama track. This post will cover five of the character tracks (doing 10 at once apparently is too much for me ww). The event ranges from stuffs that happen in the common route to right before the character’s ending, so beware spoilers. Personally, I’d recommend reading/listening to this after you finish the game. You might just, I don’t know, notice some little crumbs here and there *wink*

Translation will be below the cut. Hope you enjoy it!

Everlasting Chaos ~Raja~

This is... I see, this is a continuation of a long, long dream. A world with never ending despair. The last time I was awake was when I met that kind-looking girl at the Midori-no-Yuniwa[1]. Her look of melancholy... is the only thing I cannot forget. But even then I have to wonder, was I truly awake at that time? There are probably... no more chances of me regaining my own self... It is my fate to be swallowed up in this. No matter what words and sentences I come up with, they will return to the void. Ruin will come to all, and no one can change that. That's right... No one... No one but the King with the Raven Hand[2] can turn around destiny already written by the gods. But... the King with the Raven Hand has yet to appear before me. Oh, mighty King... We have no time left, and yet, where are you in this vast world? Quickly... Release our world... from this... loop... of chaos... ~~~ Lion King, no matter what you wished for, nothing will happen. Nothing will change. No one can stop the flames of ruin, or the fading into silence. Not even the King with the Raven Hand.

Promise ~Nagi~

Oh, come on. Just when I thought you defeated Magatsuhi-no-Kami[3], you suddenly vanished into thin air. Do you know how hard I looked for you? You keep looking out for everyone, but you never paid much attention to yourself. ...What? Why are you laughing? You think I'm worrying too much? Well, sorry for worrying too much. I love you, and you're important to me. That's why. Even when we're together like this, I still get scared, you know. That when I turn around, when I let go of my hand, I wouldn't be able to see you anymore. What would happen when I lose this warmth in my hand? We'll be together from now on so it'll be okay? ...You’re right. Well, promise me this, then. No matter what happens, we won't ever let go of each other's hands. You'll be in charge of cooking every day if you break our promise, got it? We'll do it together. We'll be together, always.

Woven Thread of History ~Hiiragi~

All of the Dragon Jewels are in My Lady's hands. The preparation to fulfill my wish is complete. Until then, let us be at ease and dally in this dream. Now, once the sun rises, history will be written. I've spent my whole life waiting for this exact moment. The blissful time I spent with the princess will end, and then... *chuckles* My Lady truly is a charming one. To think I would hear her say, "I don't think you're telling me the whole truth." If everything was a lie, then I would lose nothing but my life. You are the one who doesn't know anything, My Lady. Pure, yet sinful as you are. Be that as it may, tonight is the only time I can wait upon Her Ladyship in her dreams. Just this once, will you be so kind as to appear before me tonight, my beloved Second Princess?

Unchanging Things ~Futsuhiko~

Your Majesty, I know you are busy with governmental affairs after the battle with Magatsuhi-no Kami, but how about taking a little break outside? I will accompany you... Hmm...? "It's just the two of us so stop calling me Your Majesty?" That's impossible! This is the Kashihara Palace, and you are the queen of Nakatsu. We must not be forgetting courteousness. Huh...? "Did you take care of me because I'm the queen?"...? O-of course not! I love you! Whether you're a queen or not, you are the only one I will offer my heart toー P-please forgive me! I... it's just... Eh? You're happy, so I don't... need to apologize... You're always so kind. You always accept me for who I am. And that is why I will always be drawn to you. Let us go outside. To the land filled with flowers and warm rays of light. To Toyoashihara, the land that you protected.

Human’s Feelings ・ Warm Lights ~Tooya~

It's almost time. The dark vortex, the wind of ruins. I can hear them, the howling and cries of Mother Earth. The dark dragon will consume all, and none will be left on its trails. But be not afraid, Priestess, for it will be fine. The warm lights will gather and protect you. And I am here with you. Tsuchigumo may have disappeared, and I may have lost my powers, but you cleared the fog that clouded my judgment. I will no longer waver. I loathe the idea of losing you, of being apart from you. That is why I will protect you. Even if the whole world is my enemy, I will stay by your side. We will always be together, my beloved. For I am yours[4].

Translator’s Note:

I can’t for the life of me find the English-equivalent for the word 斎庭 (yuniwa), and I legit was about to give up until a friend of mine pointed out: why not transliterate it since it’s a pretty specific word? Considering it’s probably also a name of a place somewhere in Tokoyo, I ended up just transliterating it.

What Raja’s referring to is the 黒き手の王, which can be directly translated to Black Hand King or King with the Black Hand. It just sounded, idk, flat to me, hence why I chose Raven. Gotta make it more spicy, y’know.

Similar reasoning to 1. Magatsuhi-no-Kami is part of Japanese mythology, so I just stick with it.

Tooya was the last one I did for this batch, and not gonna lie, after writing a direct “I love you” twice I just got tired of it. And saying “I love you” after “my beloved” felt kind of repetitive to me, hence the change. Anyway, original line is:  大好きだよ

Plus some omake because I found them funny:

みどりのゆにわ (i gave up)

creative liberty my beloved

whoever put up mother earth on weblio i owe u my f-ing life

how tf do u wagimo

[Ryuumiko] Diamond Battlefield Intro & Season 1 Info

i legit forgot whether this was mentioned in the livestream, but in the june 9th update, ryuumiko released a new trial called the diamond battlefield. unlike tryst in reverie which is a monthly thing with a different theme each month, this is a seasonal trial (probably only opens during big events with story) with high difficulty battles

and by high difficulty i mean VERY difficult it's not an exaggeration

more info below the cut. hope you find it useful!

What is Diamond Battlefield?

diamond battlefield is a new, seasonal, high difficulty content that consists of 5 stages. each stage has 3-5 battles, and each battle has goals that you can accomplish. by accomplishing said goals, you get diamonds (💎), and collecting certain amounts of diamonds grant you rewards.

sounds pretty simple, don't you think? what did i mean by high difficulty? well, here's what makes it challenging:

- unlike other trials, the enemies we're fighting are the "hachiyou" themselves. fortunately, they won't attack the miko/player so it's easier to activate divine skills, but the thing is, your attack doesn't really deal much damage to the enemy. the turn/round limit is also reduced from 10 to 8

- once used in a battle, that same card cant be used in a different battle in that stage. e.g. you already used guardian yoritomo in battle 1 stage 1. you cant use him in battle 2 stage 1, BUT you can use him again in the stage 2.

- level limit. if your cards passed the level limit, it'll be adjusted to said level. if you have a level 120 card but the limit is 100, the stats will be adjusted to level 100.

- buffs from equipments, player level, affection level, level of dragon god's protection & the facilities in the dragon palace will not take effect.

- "cover" (a card protecting other cards/miko) also won't activate.

- the only buff that will take effect is the "special effect" from the battle itself. if your card meets the criteria, then it'll be eligible for the buff. the thing is, since we're fighting against hachiyous, they can also benefit from the same buff if they meet the criteria.

- in stage 5, battles become an endless mode. the enemies will revive and you have to deal as much damage as you can within the turn limit (or you get obliterated, whichever comes first). there will be a ranking based on the total of your high scores from all 5 battles.

fortunately for all of us, we can retry each battle as long as we have the battle attempts. battle attempts will be refreshed every 2 hours, with the max limit of 5 attempts. other than from refresh, you can also use items to increase your attempt.

now, let's get into the actual battle.

this is how the ui looks like when you first enter the diamond battlefield page.

this is the first stage, which only has 3 battles. on the top right part, we can see that the level limit (カードLv制限) is level 100. this applies to all 5 stages, and also applies to the enemies' cards.

below that, it says that i still have 5 attempts (残り回数) left and that auto-recovery of the attempts isn't possible since i already have the max amount.

the 💎 on the left side shows how much diamonds i obtained for this stage. since i already cleared all the goals, there's 9 written in the corner of the box. the stuffs on the right side shows what rewards will you get when you have that amount of diamonds. you need to have 7 💎 to proceed to stage 2.

[Ryuumiko] Perm Cards - Blazing Flame & Daybreak World (2/?)

so i actually already posted this on my wordpress a few days ago and just uhhh kinda forgot i have to cross post this on tumblr. ryuumiko also just dropped a new trial and i reeeeeally want to talk about it but i feel like i have to post this one first.

as usual, card skills translation, tl's note, and usability of the cards are under the cut. hope you find it useful!

some things you might want to know before reading the cards skill:

- The card stats are HP, ATK, PDEF (physical def), SDEF (spiritual def), ACC, EVA, CRIT, and SPD. Stats differ based on the card’s level, equipment used, player level, affection level, level of dragon god’s protection, and the level of the facilities in the dragon palace.

- There are 5 types of cards: Attack, Guard, Support, Sabotage, and Heal. The skills differ depending on what type the card is.

- There are 2 types of range: close and long ranged cards. Close ranged cards attack the enemies in the front row. Long ranged cards attack the enemies in the back row.

- There are 5 elements: wood (blue), earth (yellow), water (grey), fire (red), metal (green). Not only is this lore-important, it also affects the battle heavily. Each of these elements is strong against one element and weak against another. Generally speaking, it goes like this: wood > earth > water > fire > metal > wood (with > meaning stronger).

For example, wood is strong against earth but weak against metal. When you use wood against earth enemies, you deal more damage and receive less damage. The reverse happens when you use wood against metal enemies.

- The multiplier in the divine skill might differ depending on your progression of the character’s route. If you’ve calmed the rampaging god in said route, the divine skill will be awakened and become more powerful. In this post, the one written inside the [bracket] is the awakened multiplier.

Blazing Flame World

Normal Skill (Attack: Lowest PDEF First | Activation Interval: Somewhat Short)

> Performs physical attack (250% ATK) on an enemy with the lowest PDEF 2 times. When hitting an enemy with lower SDEF than self, decreases target’s SDEF by 50% for 2 turns.

Special Skill: None

Divine Skill: Spirit Blade of Eradication • Bishamonten [Awakened]

> Raises own’s ATK by 30% for 2 turns and performs physical attack (300% [350%] ATK) on an enemy with the lowest PDEF 2 times.

Translator’s Note

- Katsura’s Master of Schemes was originally 上目遣いの熟達者. From what I read, 上目遣い doesn’t only give a “cute” vibe, but sometimes also giving “calculating”, which is why I decided on using “schemes”.

- Skill description and multipliers are either taken from the game or from the jp fanmade wiki.

- Why is there “raise” and “increase”? Well, they use different kanji, with “raise” being 上昇 and “increase” being 増加. I’m guessing it has something to do with the damage calculation.

Thoughts About the Cards

For context, I’m an F2P player who played since release. Cards I have at Lv200 are Yoritomo’s White Wings & Guardian, Kenshin’s Bishamonten, and Katsura’s Learning. Unfortunately, I’m still missing Yoritomo’s Azuma Ichige and Saeki’s Cat Search. I have the rest of the cards but their progression varied. With that in mind, here are my thoughts about the cards:

For damage dealing purposes, my most used cards are Yoritomo’s White Wings & Guardian and Katsura’s Learning. They work well not just against enemies they’re stronger to, but also against enemies they’re neutral to. They’re also great for clearing out mobs since their skill is a multi-hit one. The downside is that the multi-hit causes the enemy’s skill gauge to charge faster.

To avoid this, single-hit attacker works wonders. Because of the PDEF ignore, Hijikata’s Leader does a really good job dealing damage, especially when critical. Theoretically, Intoxicated Saeki and Carrot-and-Stick Hijikata would work well too, but I don’t have them at a high enough level to be using/testing them. If you want to make your damage dealer do a critical hit, you can pair them with Saeki’s Cat Search for the CRIT up.

Other options for AoE attacker are Masamune’s Camaraderie & Feast. He still has the same problem as Kiyomori (random target), but he hits more enemies.

Before talking about the Guard cards, one thing you need to know about Ryuumiko’s battle is that it’s limited to 10 turns only. If you don’t finish before 10 turns, you’ll lose, or in Takamagahara’s case, the battle will conclude. Because of this, personally, I only use Guard cards to utilize the Rage status so my damage dealers don’t die. I usually stack EVA up and P/SDEF up for the equipment and well, it works so far? This strategy, however, only works when the enemy’s skill is a single target attack. One thing to note is that Hijikata’s Offense and Defense also has ignore SDEF on his normal skill, so he might be a good alternative for a damage dealer if you really don’t have any other cards.

Lastly, our one and only healer card in the perm set, Katsura’s Loyalist. With the same reason as the above, I just find it much easier to just deal as much damage as I can to end the battle faster. Offense is the best defense, and all that. The other reason is that I only have him at Lv120, so he’s really just not strong enough to be put in my daily roster. If you’re in a pinch, he’s a decent healer though.

[Ryuumiko] Limited Cards - June Bride Set

god im sooo happy to be able to finish this before the update is live lmao. anyway! we're getting wedding cards!!! at half anniversary!!!! lowkey pretty insane, imo, other games can take a few years before wedding.

card stories, as per usual, are unlocked at ⭐5 and ⭐8. BUT! we can get the tuxedo outfit at just ⭐5!!! and you can make him wear it in the dragon palace!!!!!!!!!

card skills tl is below the cut (pspsps they're very strong w). hope you find it helpful, and happy wedding!!🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉

before getting into the card skills, here are some things you might want to know:

• the card stats are HP, ATK, PDEF (physical def), SDEF (spiritual def), ACC, EVA, CRIT, and SPD. stats differ based on the card's level, equipment used, player level, affection level, level of dragon god's protection, and the level of the facilities in the dragon palace.

• there are 5 types of cards: attack, guard, support, sabotage, and healer. the skills differ depending on what type the card is.

• there are 2 types of range: close and long ranged cards. close ranged cards attack the enemies in the front row. long ranged cards attack the enemies in the back row.

• there are 5 elements: wood (blue), earth (yellow), water (grey), fire (red), metal (green). not only is this lore-important, it also affects the battle heavily. each of these elements is strong against one element and weak against another.

generally speaking, it goes like this: wood > earth > water > fire > metal > wood (with > meaning stronger). for example, wood is strong against earth but weak against metal. when you use wood against earth enemies, you deal more damage and receive less damage. the reverse happens when you use wood against metal enemies.

• the multiplier in the divine skill might differ depending on your progression of the character's route. if you've calmed the rampaging god in said route, the divine skill will be awakened and become more powerful. in this post, the one written inside the [bracket] is the awakened multiplier.

since these cards aren't released yet, the unawakened multiplier is unknown. will update it in the future once the jp fan wiki has it.

=================================

thoughts about the cards

let me just say one word: insane. the skills?????? though they do have a big drawback: you need to have at least 2 different cards from the set. oh, and disclaimer, this is just my personal opinion. take it with a whole load of salt, thank you.

first up is our DPS: kenshin and masamune. raw power-wise, masamune deals more damage with his higher base stats and higher vigor percentage. the thing is, he consumes all tear stack on target with his divine skill. to use him optimally, he would need to be put last in the turn order. you would also need katsura or hijikata to quickly stack tear before using masamune's divine skill again. his attack also targets random enemy, which means he might just not hit the enemy you want him to hit.

kenshin would probably have lower output than masamune, but he always targets the one with the highest ATK, which would usually be the boss. he also doesn't consume stack, so other cards can also utilize the dmg up from the tear stack at all times.

now, in order for these DPSs to stay alive, having kiyomori or saeki would help a lot. kiyomori has a STACKABLE EVA up for front row allies. and it's at 15% too, which is higher than currently equippable talismans with only 5% at gold level. to boot, his divine skill also raises EVA for all allies.

saeki, on the other hand, has STACKABLE barrier that nulls enemy attack. it's on ALL of his skill. if the enemy has tear stacked and its skill attack is a 1-2 hit single target attack that attacks a card with the highest ATK, the DPS is set for life with just saeki's normal skill lmao. on top of that, while his base stat isnt the highest (since he's a support card), his multiplier is high enough for him to deal a decent amount of damage. he's literally the perfect card for season 18 takamagahara boss

last one, but just as equally important, the tear stacker. we have yoritomo, katsura, and hijikata for this role. while yoritomo only stacks one tear with his divine skill, his passive allows him to stack tear with his normal attack. katsura and hijikata have similar skills. katsura stacks 3 tear and has 3 hit skill, which imo is suited to clear out mobs. hijikata has a 1 hit skill with a high multiplier that stacks 4 tear, which is more suited for bosses.

so, which one do i pull for?

- if you don't have any DPS: kenshin/masamune + tear stacker

- if you already have DPS but want more survivability: kiyomori/saeki + tear stacker

- but i only have enough crystals to pull for one card...

tbh, depends on what you need and want. though personally, i'd recommend anyone other than the DPS. they only hit harder than other DPSs bcs of vigor, and vigor is only really useful when you have tear stacks.

with the tear stacker, all cards (incl non wedding cards) can make use of the extra dmg up. with kiyomori and saeki, their buffs are already really good even without the tear stacks.

[Ryuumiko] Perm Cards - Flower Haze World (1/?)

so, since we're going to have a rerun banner for the half anniversary, i thought it might be a good idea to translate the card skills too, just in case there might be players who pulls based on the card skills and how meta it is (also bcs im still working on the story translations hdjdjsj pls bear with me)

first up is the flower haze (heian) world. each character has three perm cards that you can pull from the normal and friend point banner. you can also get these from the exchange shop.

the translation will be below the cut. hope it's useful!

so, before i start with the card skills, some preface (might add more later in case i forgot something):

- the card stats are HP, ATK, PDEF (physical def), SDEF (spiritual def), ACC, EVA, CRIT, and SPD. stats differ based on the card's level, equipment used, player level, affection level, level of dragon god's protection, and the level of the facilities in the dragon palace.

- there are 5 types of cards: attack, guard, support, sabotage, and healer. the skills differ depending on what type the card is.

- there are 2 types of range: close and long ranged cards. close ranged cards attack the enemies in the front row. long ranged cards attack the enemies in the back row.

- there are 5 elements: wood (blue), earth (yellow), water (grey), fire (red), metal (green). not only is this lore-important, it also affects the battle heavily. each of these elements is strong against one element and weak against another.

generally speaking, it goes like this: wood > earth > water > fire > metal > wood (with > meaning stronger). for example, wood is strong against earth but weak against metal. when you use wood against earth enemies, you deal more damage and receive less damage. the reverse happens when you use wood against metal enemies.

- the multiplier in the divine skill might differ depending on your progression of the character's route. if you've calmed the rampaging god in said route, the divine skill will be awakened and become more powerful. in this post, the one written inside the [bracket] is the awakened multiplier.

==================================

tl's note:

- 雨降花, from my google search, refers to flowers that, according to legends, will cause rain when plucked. according to kotobank, this term refers to either spotted bellflower, weigela hortensis, or japanese bindweed depending on region. i also saw an article saying it's white clover. however, none of those matches the visual on the card.

i ended up looking 「雨降花　白い」 and i landed on 東一華, the anemone raddeana. unfortunately, i haven't found its name in english, which is why i kept azuma ichige in the translation.

- あの手この手 could be translated as "by various/every means" or "using every trick in the book". looking at it emotionally, i decided to translate it as "desperate".

- as i don't have cat search saeki, his unawakened multiplier is currently written as unknown. the rest of the stats are either taken from the game or from the jp fanmade wiki.

thoughts about the cards:

for context, i'm an f2p player who played since release. i have white wings & guardian yoritomo at lvl 200, but unfortunately still missing azuma ichige yoritomo & cat search saeki. i have the rest of the cards but their progression varied. with that in mind, here are my thoughts about the cards:

- since saeki is the newest hachiyou added (at this point of writing), his skills have some very interesting effects. not only that, his multipliers are insane. i'd definitely recommend getting & upgrading his cards. though since these are perms, don't go overboard with pulling since you might get spooked anyway in other banners.

- guardian yoritomo has a really nice SDEF debuff with his divine skill. i recommend using his divine skill at turn start so other cards can deal more damage, or you can activate it after the enemy's action so you can make use of the SDEF down for the next turn.

- from my playthrough, white wings yoritomo is my most used card because of the damage he deals, even against enemies he's neutral to. unfortunately, his 3 hit attack causes the enemy's skill gauge to charge faster.

- not really much to say about kiyomori's cards. his downside, imo, is the random target since sometimes he's just not hitting the enemies i want him to hit.

cotton rose is great for its AoE attack. probably dragon's strings too, but i only have him at lv80 so i barely use him. sea creatures' 4 hit attack is great for clearing out weaker mobs, but when you're doing lv200 takamagahara? eh, not so much. the poison is barely making a dent too, so...

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 4: Mizuho no Kuni - Character Tracks (Pt.2)

Japanese Title: 遙かなる時空の中で4~瑞穂の国~

Disclaimer: I only own the translation. Everything else is Koei’s/Ruby Party’s. I tried to keep the meaning as intact as possible, but I also took some creative liberty here and there. Also, do note that English and Japanese aren’t my native language. Translator’s note will be put at the end of the post.

Previous post is here. Here’s the rest of the character tracks! I’m giving a certain man the most criminal, bombastic side eye because he sure as hell deserved it (you know who you are). Surprisingly enough, that man is also one of the easier ones to translate and tbh I’m not even sure why. Overall, though, I’ve had the most fun with Hiiragi and struggled with Sazaki, Asvin, and Ribhu. As usual, the events ranges from near the end of the common route to before the character’s ending, so beware spoilers.

Translation will be below the cut. Hope you enjoy it!

Wedding Garments ~Asvin~

Magatsuhi-no-Kami have disappeared, and though we still have a mountain of things to do, it sure is nice to see your own land prosper.

Hmm? What is it? You look happy. Oh, you saw the nuptials.

A wedding… dress? I see, is it similar to the ceremonial outfit worn in your world? Your face, my dear, is telling me you want to wear it. Then I shall give it to you. Is it not the duty of a husband to give his wife the things she desires?

And…? You'll feel bad so there's no need to…

That's nonsense. You don't need to hold back. I like being depended on by you, after all.

Once everything settles down, let's hold another nuptials, just the two of us. Not just in Nakatsu, I want to once again make a vow to spend the rest of my life with you in this land of Tokoyo.

(kiss)

I love you.

At the End of Remembrance ~Kazahaya~

A new stream of time is flowing in this world that was once annihilated by the White Dragon.

I threw away my past as a god and walked as a human in Kashihara. If I continue through this path, I will eventually meet her. But even if she saw me, she wouldn't know who I am, as she doesn't have any memory of me in this newly born world. But even so, I keep walking, so I could meet her once again.

My heart longs for her.

This heart of mine is the one thing that even the gods couldn't take away from me. My memories of the days I spent with her are my most cherished possession. If I have this heart, these memories, with me, there is nothing more that I fear. Even if you no longer remember me, my heart will guide me to where you are.

Princess, if I could meet you again, I would stay by your side.

Forever.

The Trait of a Ruler ~Oshihito~

Wrong. First, bow to the right side, turn around, and bow to the left side. Just how many times do I have to tell you before you understand? We only have a few days left before your coronation. If you're already struggling from the start, I'm worried about the rest of the procession.

And no, you don't have any time to feel down. Start again from the beginning.

Do you think learning etiquette is not important?

Your coronation will be the center of attention. You're someone who would be a queen. You have the qualities to become one. Everyone who fought by your side would've known that. But those who didn't would only look at how you behave before criticizing behind your back that you're someone unfit to be a queen.

I don't want to see you be treated that way. I don't want you to be hurt by something as nonsensical as that.

Let's take a break. I'll bring you some cold water.

Feeling relieved now, are we?

We'll continue our training once I get back.

Dreams of the Sky ~Sazaki~

We did it, Princess! Thanks to you, that large snake disappeared. And with that, the world is at peace once again! Let's say goodbye to this place and go back home. I'll carry you, so hold on tight!

Haha! Just who do you think I am? Finding everyone and getting them out is a piece of cake for me. Well, I was a bit worried about how it'd end, but I'm glad I did just as you told me.

Everyone is safe, and my wish is granted.

My wish? Uh… Well, you see… How do I say it…

(cough)

Well, ever since you picked up my enchanted feather, flying… while holding you in my arms… has always been one of my wishes. Looking back, you've given me so much.

But! I'm a pirate. It's nowhere near enough. Prepare yourself, Princess, I'll be taking a lot more from you.

At the Tatara Furnace ~Ribhu~

Ouch!

Maybe I raised the temperature too much. But I'm glad the application seems to be going well. It will take some time until it's complete, but with this trebuchet, His Highness's battles should go more smoothly.

Even as someone as powerless as me, I can still be of use with my knowledge. I couldn't be any happier than this.

Now that I think about it, when I met the Second Princess at the tatara furnace, she looked sad when she realized this is a weapon that can only be used in wars.

Well, seeing as she's someone who doesn't even shun her enemies, I guess that's to be expected. She's going through a difficult time because of a war she never wished for, but even so, she never gave up on what lies beyond it. And that is precisely why I want to reach out my hand and help her.

Hmm, I think that should do it for the preparations.

I'll be on my way to assist you, Second Princess.

I'll be more than happy if you decide to look my way. When that happens, I'll make sure to wave my hand as hard as I can. Though I don't think I could keep my composure...

(important) Translator’s note:

Nuptials: A person's marriage and marriage celebrations (Cambridge Dictionary)

Kazahaya's 2nd to last line is actually 姫、そして再び出会えたとならば、俺はもう二度とあなたのそばから離れません, so I contemplated on using "I would never leave your side again" for the latter half of the sentence, but using the word "again" twice in the same sentence felt kinda weird so I just used the current "I would stay by your side", which hopefully conveyed a similar enough meaning.

Sazaki's track title is 空翔ける夢, which I think can be picked apart like this > 空（を）翔ける夢. If so, the meaning would more or less be "dreams of flying/soaring in the sky", hence why I chose "Dreams of the Sky". I do hope I got the meaning right so uhh if you have any suggestions, ideas, or corrections feel free to leave a comment or reply.

Omake:

used jikuu (read: toki) for extra oomph

how do u hime-san? missus? missy? m'lady? ma'am? princess?

why am i spending so much time looking at the differences between catapult & trebuchet (read more about it here and here)

Plus not so important tidbit about kazahaya’s track (contains major spoilers of the game, feel free to skip this section, i just want to rant lmao):

Disclaimer: I know the drama cd is released after the game and this is probably unintentional on Koei's part but LMAO I just find it really funny. Also I just can't skip on the opportunity to dunk this man lol (affectionate)

KAZAHAYA I AM LOOKING AT YOU YOU’RE ON A THIN ICE!!! Fun fact about this track: this man is lying through his teeth. Did you notice how he said:

Even if you no longer remember me, my heart will guide me to where you are. Princess, if I could meet you again, I would stay by your side. Forever.

THIS, MY FRIEND, IS A LIE. At the end of his true route, after Chihiro & co defeated Hakuryuu, it made a whole new timeline outside of the loop. In the new timeline, Kokuryuu didn't try to destroy the whole world and Hakuryuu didn't interfere much with the human world, which means Kazahaya isn't needed in the new timeline and everyone's memory of Kazahaya is gone. Tokoyo didn't attack Nakatsu, Ichinohime and Habarihiko are alive, the world is at peace. But it's missing Kazahaya.

One day, Chihiro was walking around Kashihara when Kazahaya showed up in front of her. Kazahaya, knowing that Chihiro also lost her memory, just spouted some pleasantries and continue on his way.

NOW THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET SPICY

You get a set of choices here. You can choose to remember him, in which case you'll get a CG and happy ending, OR you can choose to not remember him. Do that, and you can watch how Chihiro was distressed because she couldn't remember Kazahaya and Kazahaya leaving her because he didn't want to see her sad.

... kazahaya wtf ?????????????? i thought you wont ever leave her again what happened to that promise?????????????????? what about never leaving her side ever again????????
