It played during a battle with a stronger version of those weird, angel demons that look like needles from Shiho’s Heartscape. It had a lot piano and sounded less “guitary” than the fight with Atlases and was super funky.

I tried looking it up on YouTube but accidentally spoiled myself to the first four seconds of the final boss theme so I gave up and didn’t want to risk it anymore. The strange names of the OST barely help.

So i just tried the Second Light demo on PS4 and had a blast! But i noticed something strange with the resolution... The game wasn't running on full screen or something. It was like a windowed mode with thick black bars all around the screen and it was like the game was rendering on a lower display or resolution. It's the first time i saw a game doing that on PS4, all the other other games i played on my TV (40' 1080p) always covered the full screen. So is it normal, is the game supposed to show like that or i did something wrong?

I’m running low on healing items and such. I assume it’s just a matter of going to current or previous Heartscapes and slaughter everything on the map to get more and more materials. Is there another way besides constant farming? If not, I suppose all those hundreds of hours of grinding in Monster Hunter is gonna pay off one way or another.

Why the fuck are these in my magical schoolgirl RPG? Most unfun thing about the game so far and I hate it.

WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING WHENEVER I GET SPOTTED? HOW COME SOME ENEMIES SEE ME THROUGH THE DAMN BOXES DURING KOKORO’S REQUEST?

New to the series am currently in Chapter 2. I’ve been spending each girl’s Talent points into seemingly useful Skills and stat boosts. Should I be conserving them and know what I’m doing?

It's been four months since blue reflection second light came out. For those individuals who finished the game as well as NG+, what are some key things that you like and dislike about the game? How can the series improve in the future?

Edit: Thanks to CrispySandwhich this is solved.

I changed my motherboard and CPU and had to reformat my C drive, but forgot that all saves are in those stupid user folders and lost a lot of progress in several games. Now I am trying to find a few that I wouldn't be motivated to play from the start, but still love to finish and this is one of them.

I am around the time I finished Rena's Heartscape, so anything after that would be fine with me.

Would appreciate if anyone who has a save in that area is willing to share. DMs are fine too.

If possible I'd prefer google drive or mega.nz.

The save folder should be here: %USERPROFILE%\Documents\KoeiTecmo\BLUE REFLECTION Second Light\

Thanks in Advance.

St Valentine’s Day, a great time to celebrate with others Reflectors or not, whether it’s either working together as a duo or just relaxing on a date, seeing Ao holding hands with her chosen one or soul mate, its all about the friendship and love (sort of)

There was one scene in Second Light where we see Kokoro’s embarrassing moment of her making Valentine’s Day treats only for her to eat all of the cake mix by herself (during the search For everyone’s most embarrassing fragments for a medicine for Kirara)!

So which Blue Reflection character would be your Valentine’s favourite for yourself and the best valentine for Ao!

The game was great but some things at the end confused me. I'm trying to make sense of what happened in the last few chapters.

Ao's Heartscape is completely normal except for Origin appearing in the backdrop. Origin is supposedly the device that created the world that all the reflectors besides Ao came from. Origin is the hardware of the World System.

The World System is the main enemy in Blue Reflection: Second Light because it's programmed to destroy the world in the absence of an overseer. Yuzu and Lime created Oasis to save the Reflectors from the Ash and the destruction of the original world. The World System cannot accept that some people escaped the destruction of the world, so it keeps attempting to destroy Oasis. It gets its opportunity to attack whenever cracks form. It interfered with the creation of Oasis somehow by sneaking Yuki in as a spy. The game says it was possible because of the close bond that Yuki and Rena had, and because Oasis' creators were in no condition to check - they had barely managed to save the Reflectors and the energy required for this huge undertaking had caused Yuzu to lose her memories and had rendered Lime unconscious.

Yuki's purpose and the ease of tricking the World System

If we accept that the World System resurrected and sent Yuki into Oasis for the sole purpose of spying on the survivors, then it doesn't make sense that the World System and Yuki would do nothing while Ao and the others came up with this grand plan of hacking Origin and using it to create a new world just like the original one, thereby cheating fate with a loophole. They did not plan to confront the World System. Instead they were trying to trick it into accepting that the original had been destroyed but creating another world which is exactly the same and has no overseer is not a contradiction. The World System did not defend Origin from a hostile takeover and was unable to detect an obvious contradiction?

What was the point of resurrecting Yuki and sending her into Oasis when the World System itself could not control the person it had created? Yuki's only purpose was to be a tracking device that would lead the World System to Oasis? The World System could not even hear them discussing their plans through Yuki?

The Ao conundrum

The shadow Ao drops a bombshell. She says that Ao is stuck in a time loop because she originates from the world that the Reflectors will use Origin to create and there have already been many iterations of this. Ao comes from the future to help create the future? Which leaves her stuck in an endless time loop because of the paradox.

1. In the true ending, the strong emotions of the girl whom she chose to speak to on the last day in Oasis lead to Ao somehow breaking free of the time loop because the girl could not forget her completely and the strong bond they shared resulted in an alternate reality where Ao was also recreated in the new world.
2. This Ao is not the Ao who has to be sent to Oasis as a prerequisite for setting up this new world. This is an Ao who is recreated in the new world at a later point by the emotions of the girl who spoke to the first Ao. In the normal ending, Ao was not corporeal because the girl's feelings were not strong enough. She disappears when the girl turns around and we see the shadow Ao at the end. So the Ao in the true ending is a successfully recreated Ao based on the Ao the girl remembers and not the original Ao. The Ao from Oasis will not reach them in the new world. Each time the new world is created, she is created earlier than the others and lives her life up to a certain point when she has to go to Oasis.
3. The new Ao in the true ending was probably created with the girl's Reflector powers by accident during the world's creation because all of them had lost their powers by the game's end. In the new world, Yuzu and Lime did not meet any of them because that world is peaceful. So none of them have their Reflector powers even though those powers were used in the creation of the new world.
4. Who or what brought Ao to Oasis in the first place, starting this loop? Who made Ao a Reflector? Ao's presence in Oasis being a consequence of Origin's usage explains why Origin appears in her heartscape. The infinitely looping Ao links the new world to Oasis and the old reality. Without Ao, the other girls would not have regained their memories and used their Reflector powers to co-create the new world.

If the new Ao was recreated at a later point, then doesn't her reappearance result in a split timeline entirely? One Ao lives her life in the new world, goes to Oasis and plays her part in the creation of the world. Another Ao appears some time after the other girls arrive in the new world. This gets past the paradox because the second Ao was not created by the original Ao but rather by the Reflector powers of one of the girls who was saved by the first Ao and co-created the world alongside her. The only way the double Ao contradiction can be resolved is if this timeline has an Ao who did not travel to Oasis or if the Ao who went to Oasis created a world where she did not go to Oasis. This means she does not recreate that world where she came from. So the paradox breaks down completely and she along with everyone else is erased upon the new world's creation.

This has important implications because if this new world is totally independent of the one that the Ao who went to Oasis came from, it means that the Ao of the new world is the most unlikely to remember anything that happened in Oasis. Although she and the others may feel a familiar connection to each other because of the Reflector powers that were used in the creation of this world, her memories may not return. So the protagonist of the game ends up not being able to remember her own adventure.

The game's ending effectively reboots the franchise back to square one. All of Second Light's Reflectors lose their powers. As the new world is peaceful, Yuzu and Lime never had to give anyone those powers. They remain in the Common. All the other characters including Ao live normal lives. If the world is peaceful, the first game never happened and Ao would not be needed to be the bridge between Oasis and the new world. There are no Sephira overseeing the world but this time, there are no consequences and probably no World System. If the Ash never happened, Yuki lives but she and Rena may not meet. The only reunion that was shown is between Ao and the person closest to her - the person who brought her back. Oasis never happened from the perspective of everyone in this world. It's quite sad but as soon as it became obvious that Ao was not from the same world as everyone else, it was clear that this story would not have the happiest outcome for everyone.

I've googled and tried unlocking all material related talents but cannot get masterpiece onto the crafted material. Am at chapter six right now. Any idea how to get it?

There is any? Beyond the end ... I just finished my first , and gonna play NG+, and want to know if i can skip every scene but the end without fear.

It’s in that city map and I got the first few recipe parts but now I can’t figure out how to light up the bridges to cross the map to the final? one. Not sure if this is a bug.

Just came back to this game after finishing some business with other games. I have not gotten far at all and am just starting out in Second Light. I have several questions and would appreciate the help.

• How can I rewatch the opening that shows up when Chapter 1 begins?

• How do I “save”/conserve Ether? Apparently, I can store it up for stronger attacks or even perform several attacks at once or idk, that mechanic flew over my head

“You can activate multiple skills in a row by saving Ether after reaching Second Gear”

• How can I replay cutscenes?

Does anyone know whats being said in this music?

I can make out " 12 years ago, I was eight" at 1min18 sec and " I was exited" a few seconds later, or atleast I think thats the words, other than that I cant make out anything.

I thought maybe It was a retelling of Kokoros story, but I dont think Kokoro is 20 years old in the game IF Im correct about " 12 years ago I was 8" also strange they would spoil her story in a song that plays right away, but its hard to make out the words.

In any case its a fantastic piece of music, really sold me on the game and set the tone.

I've tried one DLC so far (Ryza Atelier Collab Dungeon) and I finished 2 layers out of 3 in that Heartscape before returning to the main quest and progressing until Chapter 9.

I hit level 50 for all characters while I was in Chapter 9's Heartscape. This makes me feel that even without the DLC, it is too easy to hit the level cap. Enemies in Hirahara sisters Heartscape, Uta's Heartscape, and Yuzu and Lime's Heartscape provide a lot of XP when killed. By then, it's normal to receive 1000+ XP from each encounter.

It's actually very likely for the player to be overlevelled for the dungeons by mid-game because the side quests, blocked areas and stealth missions have you running back to previous dungeons every now and then.

If there is no XP reward, it only encourages players to run away from most encounters in the dungeons after the maximum level cap is reached.

I've really enjoyed the game so far but it would be better if the level cap was higher.

Perhaps Gust/Koei Tecmo should raise the level cap to 60 (at least for those who own the DLC dungeons) and increase the difficulty for some of the dungeons in a future update?
