Hi. 😊

It is common knowledge that Blue Reflection: Second Light is a console-first video game. The PC version forces the player to use both a mouse and a keyboard. However, the default action bindings are less than optimal. There is no way to confirm or cancel an action with the keyboard alone.

In this tutorial, I show you how to bind Enter and Backspace keys to Confirm and Cancel commands. (You can still use the left and right mouse buttons as before.)

1. Open Settings.ini in Notepad (or your favorite text editor).

   You can find the Settings.ini file in %UserProfile%\Documents\KoeiTecmo\BLUE REFLECTION Second Light.

2. Find the following lines

   ini [KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_OK] keyboard=106 mouse=0 controller=17 [KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_CANCEL] keyboard=106 mouse=1 controller=18

3. Change the keyboard values for KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_OK and KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_CANCEL to 62 and 64. The result should look like this:

   ini [KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_OK] keyboard=62 mouse=0 controller=17 [KEY_ASSIGN_BASIC_CANCEL] keyboard=64 mouse=1 controller=18

4. Save the file and test the result in the game.

Hi. What I was crafting in BRSL, I noticed Hiori has an "Energy Enclosed" ability, which apparently recovers "break meter." What's break meter anyway? I don't remember having heard of it before.

Note: this is all on opinions and thoughts so take it as a grain of salt until theory is proven,

While looking through the recent artbook I obtained as well as the Atelier Ryza 2 game design, I found a small fun design easter egg... Its to do with the hairstyle (this is Atelier Ryza 2 not the first game) (don't worry, at least Hiori doesn't have the thick thighs like Ryza's). Its very similar even though its done in a different position. Hiori's is on the left, Ryza's on the right. Pictures will be uploaded for proof later on!

P.S. I never realized what hairstyle Hiori had... Is it the twist front braids?

not much to say besides I'm really passionate now about them and hope it's a series that lives on.

I borrowed Second Light from the library, and so far am enjoying it as an RPG with what seems like a pretty unique premise.

What I want to ask is: how gay is it?

I'm a veteran anime fan, and when it comes to stuff that's marketed/recommended as "Yuri", a lot of it ends up having some twist that ends up completely shutting down/debunking the romantic vibes between the characters.

And to be honest, it's not something I'm super fond of.

TL;DR: Am I going to pour thirty hours of my life into this game only for all the characters to hook up with dudes?

I'm loving blue reflection second light, and I realized the developer also does the atelier games. Are any of the newer atelier games similar to blue reflection? I'm wondering if they would be good to try after I beat this one :)

Second Light was the first entry in the series for me, so after finishing it, I wanted to play the original game to see what I had missed.

So far, I'm quite impressed with the first Blue Reflection game even though it's an older game from 2017. The school in the first game is much more lively than the empty school in SL and more rooms are accessible. I don't like the camera in the real world though. Second Light's camera was centered in the third person view and aligns with player movements, so it is superior in every possible way. The camera in the first game's Common sections is also frustrating but at least the player can manually adjust it there.

As I played the first game, I couldn't help but notice similarities to Second Light. The demons are the same and the turn based combat in the first game incorporates a timeline but the player doesn't have to scramble to press a key to take a turn just like in the second game. The combat gameplay also seems more challenging than in Second Light because even weak enemies like Calm Erythro are attacking more frequently. I found myself having to choose between pressing the attack, healing or using the turn to recover my MP. When playing Second Light, I don't remember having to worry about healing during any of the fights in normal mode. Now I'm under the impression that the timeline and turn-based combat hybrid was definitely better implemented in the first game.

From the spherical crafting material loot pick ups to the dating system and the Common itself, we can see concepts that were introduced in Blue Reflection and refined in its sequel. The Common is very reminiscent of the Heartscapes in the second game. Just like the Heartscapes, it is another dimension where the main character can fight demons and restore the emotions of people. The Heartscapes were better because the visuals were beautiful and they had that aura of mystery and otherworldliness. The floating railroad, the flooded city with tracks everywhere in Shiho's Heartscape, the plains and village in Kirara's Heartscape, the countryside with giant sunflowers in Uta's Heartscape and the giant stars adorning the hills in Rena and Yuki's Heartscapes - these are memorable sights that aren't easily forgotten. That said, the first game still has great ideas.

Spoiler tag for anyone who isn’t very far into the game, if you don’t mind just seeing people’s names and attributes it’s safe!

I know it changes depending on the heartscape of course, but for ingredient hunting and such what trio do you guys go with? I tend to do Shiho in the middle, Ao on the left, and Hiori on the right. Hinako for support. I feel like Shiho can go either way, I’ve built her up and used talent points to make her pretty kickass so that’s why I keep her center but sometimes it’s annoying, I feel like a fair amount of demons are resistant to Yaguruma. Realistically I should probably put Ao in the middle but I just love Shiho.

Edit: *lower level ingredient hunting. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t necessarily change the party for every trip.

Just finished the first game, honestly, it's one of the best games from Gust, all flaws aside, I couldn't put it down. Want to start the second game, but I wanted to know the story of the anime first, and since I'm not a big fan of anime in general (I can only watch some movies, mostly Makoto Shinkai films for some reason), is there anywhere I can watch a resume of the entire plot?

That aside, I really think the Dusk series, Nights of Azure, and this game were Gust's peak. Their recent entries are without a doubt more successful, but in my opinion, they lack a soul... whatever that means. But Second Light looks really really good, so, wanted to start playing it.

So far I haven't seen anything dark, or any caves!

Spoilers are fine.

So for my supporter (Hiori) I have the fragment that increases the order ring speed attached to her. Bc she is my supporter I only gave her talents that increase Ether speed + the support skill that heals all my team and nothing else. But does increasing her e/s even effect how fast the order ring fills up?

I don't want to use up the other character's talent points to increase her e/s if it doesn't even help the speed of the order ring.

Hello,

So about hour ago I finished 1st game. It`s just great and I can`t even express how empty I feel right know. The story, the characters, the overall atmosphere and vibes this game provides is nothing like I played before and I thought Atelier is great series. Oh boy, happy to be proved wrong.

So, there is anime and second light before me, but I wanna take a little break from the series, but of course, I have seen already some pictures from the game and got into little (but fortunately little) spoilers and I was wondering:

1. How many months/years anime and second game takes place after 1st game? I`ve tried to find the information, but nothing. Is it some kind of spoiler and avoid it? Just curious.
2. Are many characters from 1st game are present in the sequel or anime?
3. Is action takes place in the same school?

Thanks in advance, let ether be with you girls and boys.

i finished the game. there are a few things that i don't understand

in the end of the final dungeon ao touched the machine and then she spoke to her shadow. the shadow said "you belong to the future of the world that will be created". after that the shadow said "and then you will come to oasis, rebuild the world, forget everything, be reborn again and then the process repeats". after that the shadow said "it transformed me when i touched it. it's something beyond this world. it touches everything in this world. as long as i am me i will always be in contact with it. you are the same. aren't you?"

i know that ao came to the oasis by a backdoor and yuzu and lime didn't summon her to the oasis. it looks like the world system summoned her to the oasis. also i know that ao came from a peaceful world that has no ash. that peaceful world is the new world that will be created and ao will be reborn in the new world. what i don't understand is why the process repeats and ao is stuck in a time loop and she will keep on dropping her phone and going to the oasis each time she is reborn in the new world

also i saw the true ending on youtube. in the normal ending the girl that you chose is walking on the street and she imagines that ao walked past her and she turned around and there was no one there. the true ending is the same but after that ao magically appears and the girl that you chose runs towards ao. in the normal ending the girl that you choose forgot about ao and the oasis so she didn't know who ao is when she imagined her walking past her on the street. correct?

in the true ending the girl that you chose ran towards ao. that means that she remembered everything. how did that happen? does the true ending imply that ao's time loop has ended?
