【式神の城Ⅱ】ふみこ・O・Vでクリア【Castle of ShikigamiⅡ 1CC(Fumiko・O・V:1st)】

A woman abandoned by the system and gameplay (ノД`)・゜・。 This is a gameplay video of Castle of Shikigami II for the PS2. This is my first clear with Fumiko (using Ichishiki). She's definitely the weakest character in this game. I'm open to disagreement, but I don't think anyone would argue that Nishiki Fumiko is the weakest. (;'∀') Fumiko shone in the previous game... Her prime was probably when she used bombs to quickly defeat both minions and bosses, while randomly earning bits to recover resources. In this game, there's no power down, but it feels like she's always playing with a weak shot state equivalent to level 3 in the previous game (one step away from maximum power). This is the same for most of the other returning characters. ...I think it's probably to differentiate her from high-tension shots. Even with high-tension, her shot range isn't very wide, making both the journey and boss battles difficult. More than anything, it's the system and gameplay that's causing Fumiko-tan trouble. From a clearer's perspective, I think the removal of the power-up system was actually a negative adjustment. Because of this, the "bomb extension upon power-up" feature was removed, reducing the number of bombs available. If the problem was that the game suddenly collapsed upon power-down, couldn't they have addressed it by adjusting the number of coins required to power up? Fumiko in particular is a character who isn't good at dodging bullets and relies heavily on bombs, so the bomb extension upon power-up was very useful in the previous game... This just makes it a dodging game. Let's make it a bomb game (´;ω;｀) Furthermore, there are no easy earning points like in the previous game's 5-1 bit, so it's a shame that it's difficult to increase resources. Fumiko in particular was highly dependent on bits (omitted). I finally achieved my goal of clearing Castle of Shikigami II with all 8 characters in a no-continue mode, something I've been casually trying to do since last year. Here's my personal "Tentative Ranking of Characters Best for No-Continuation Clears." 1st. Kin Taisho: [Strongest] Insane firepower. You can do it even if you're not careful. 2nd. Neegi GB: [Strong] A cheaty barrier that can erase everything except lasers. 3rd. Kuga Kotaro: [Upper Middle] Just summon a shikigami and avoid them. Easy to extend. 4th. Hinata Gennojo: [Upper Middle] Reliable. A guy who does the same as in the previous game. 5th. Roger Sasuke: [Medium] High firepower but extremely prone to accidents. 6th. Chibi Fumiko: [Medium] Fairly good with just shikigami, but very picky. 7th. Yuki Sayo: [Weak] Bosses that are difficult to get close to due to her wide firing angle. Shintaro... 8th place: Fumiko OV: [Weakest] Poor technical skills. Unable to utilize her firepower, it feels half-baked.
