You didn't need 2000 jewel to do both ending but ONLY 1000 jewel no matter how many time I replied this spin off again and again. By replying story so many time, I personally made into top 50 without having headache about jewel checkpoint once I passed the 1000K checkpoint.

The difference between two endings weren't that much. One only shorter than other.

[Aiwethryne]

Again, what was was the difference? That wasn't out of rhetoric. By replaying so many times, you must have burned so many items. After 1000, I didn't even make it to the Jewel Checkpoint again. That background was not worth it, so I find the items to have been better allocated towards the early completion of Melchiorre's spinoff.


I sent a game inquiry about how the Coins/Mina limited time prices are no different from usual, but they said that question was too specific and refuse to answer to that standard. So I am sending another inquiry, but this time posing it a declarative statement. It's a damn error that helps no one. I'm bound to get my last Gold Key sooner than they do anything, but I am at least trying to get them to make it easier on other players.

The short version didn't include the brothers barked in bedroom after MC gave Chezem a birthday present. The short version ended after Chezem, instead do as MC said, he opened his eyes and MC pouted as she gave him a present. The long version explained what MC did with his brothers to give Chezem various of birthday presents with Melchiore was the first one who entered their room on Chezem's birthday.

Spinning slot to get jewel for Chezem birthday actually helped me to progress fast in Melchiore Spin Off cause I got 20 Gold Keys in return. I will spend more for the keys if I buy them using mina from shop.

I'm currently playing Chezem the jealous & for this one checkpoint I need a number of ribbons and even though I have used the games method of trying to get them (Logging in every day, playing the avatar slots, etc.) I have not gotten any. Is there any other possible way to collect ribbons? Thanks.

[Aiwethryne]

The Chezem the Jealous spinoff was originally part of a limited-time campaign between July to August last year. I'm surprised the developers reopened those CG spinoffs.

Ribbons would have been gained from story progress, training, Mina Slot, Avatar Slot, and logging in *while the campaign that had Ribbons was happening.* The limited-time spinoff keys could only be won through that campaign. Ah, those were the days in which the requirements were less demanding, but everything is so limited in MSP.


Now, for my usual rant...

Spoiler  Hidden:

Support gave me a Chocolate as "Apology for the system error in SHOP" because they aren't lowering the key prices. Rather stupid that they'd say it was limited time, when it's not.

I thought that at least the double ending early clear would yield another closet space, but nope. Just four more avatar items – two for Normal and two for both ending completion. Now there are eleven items sitting in my inbox. Either a campaign happens in February with the never-ending cycle of more avatar items than I have no space for, or I'd have to collect 400 Coins for now, which is pretty simple. That value pack is convenient enough.

Wish Melchiorre's spinoff had a CG, though. Curious how the Ivan sequel-ish spinoff would be. He's always like an alien in the non-limited time spinoffs. It's almost a shame that there is over a week left for this spinoff, and there is nothing more to get out of it. However, if there is a campaign later, this gives me time to restock my Coffee supply and lazily not greet. Odd to recall that I had sooo much Coffee before the last five spinoff releases, and now I have zero.

But I should have gone for the Normal ending first. That early bird hair was cuter than a dumb pie. Redoing and dropping down more Keys than I have... Eh.

I'm new to Otome and new to this forum, this is my first post, so Hi!
Ummm, so I will blame this on me being new, rather than admit how dumb I am.. But I am confused by what you said Aiwethryne.. So if you get the Good Ending, you get a different prize than if you get the Normal Ending? I thought that the only difference was that if you got the Good Ending, you obtained one more prize than if you did the Normal Ending (The "pie"), but that you got the Slippers, Hair, Kitchen, Closet and Chocolate regardless of which ending. Is that not correct?
Argh, there is so much going on with this game, between the lessons, the charm, the "making friends", the endless spin offs, all the items needed to buy, and everything in the middle... O_O

I'm blonde, so I guess I should ask this in my "native language", I'm-A-Ding-Bat-ese, so that I don't further confuse myself:
1. What prizes do we get for completing the normal ending?
2. What prizes do we get for completing the Good ending?

Thanks!! =)

Welcome to the forum, tenshichan~ Ask away~ I can understand how this was confusing. Even I assumed something different, and it took me playing both endings to fully understand NTT Solmare's trickery.

Happy Ending Completion Prize:
[Sweet Newlywed Style] Kitchen

Normal Ending Completion Prize:
[Sweet Newlywed Style] Whisk

Both Ending Completion Prize:
[Sweet Newlywed Style] Cake Print Apron


It's "Happy" and "Normal," by the way. There were several avatar items that were only available during the Early Bird period, but that already ended. I did not include those. The Kitchen is a background for your avatar, and the other two are just clothing items. *fashionably sports a whisk*

But, no, you do not get *more* items for completing the Happy Ending — the prizes only have higher Charm in the Happy Ending than in the Normal Ending, and what you probably did not grasp was how I mentioned those extra prizes were "Early Bird Completion Prize(s)." There was a difference between that and regular chapter/ending completion. If you replay the first four chapters (does not matter which ending you did first), you will not get additional items for those first four chapters.


I guess that I'll also restate this part without the early bird info. As I just implied, you only get the Chapter 1-4 prizes once.

Chapter 1 Completion Prize:
Chocolate x1

Chapter 2 Completion Prize:
[Sweet Newlywed Style] Slippers×1

Chapter 3 Completion Prize:
[Sweet Newlywed Style] Ponytail×1

Chapter 4 Completion Prize:
Closet x1

But remember that this spinoff ends February 3, 9pm (PST). Not much time left~

[tenshichan]

The early bird special ended already? Holy carp-fish they don't allow for any time to pass, do they? The app only updated to show the Spin off starting on Jan 22nd, and it took me FOREVER to win all the keys needed for this story.

I'm surprised it was so short though, if it ends on Feb 3rd (See, I thought the Early bird ended on the 3rd, because when you go in the shop, it says "Early bird special until Feb 3rd", so I thought the Early bird lasted until then. When did the actual Early Bird rewards end?) It's crazy they expect you to have like 20 keys to go through 4 chapters, in 10 days, but with Chezem's birthday, that was like a month long affair (that I still didn't finish, because I refused to buy the Jewels. I am a stubborn one)

I kind of wish I had my Otome start with a Voltage game or Arithmetic. They seem to be more VN style, but I may be wrong since I haven't tried them yet. I'm almost discouraged with Solomare, like everything with them is "buy buy buy!", and the story/"game play" is the after thought. 

Thank you for the awesome explanation, and sorry I'm a bit dingy. O_O Go figure, I had no problem obtaining my Biology degree early, though hand me a game/app and I will stare blankly at you, as if you just handed me the Rosetta Stone. O_O


**EDIT** I think the Kitchen back ground is bugged. It says it has a 100 charm, so going from the zero charm plain background to this one, should increase my "charm" by 100, though it doesn't increase it at all. Is any one else having that issue too?

[Aiwethryne]

The early bird period was only four days after the start of the event. It ended on something like the 26th or 27th of last month. I only barely managed to have enough keys for both endings by the early clear's last day by a frantic Mina gathering effort and dropping them down the slots for a chance. 4K per key has always been way too steep.

I'm collapsing the rest because I say a lot.

Spoiler  Hidden:

I loosely explained the keys thing in my last post with a spoiler tag. XD It was only Solmare being trollish again~ Marvelously confuse everyone~ Nothing in the store says anything about early bird specials, though. Just the banner. As for the spinoff's length, that is actually typical of the *longer* MSP spinoffs. Most of the spinoffs that need special keys bought are one or two chapters, equaling a total of maybe ten scenes. Crazy short when they are not obscenely good.

Truthfully, ALL *free* otome games on mobiles have intense requirements, but it is more so during events. Actually, the whole urge to spend real money is a commonality in all free mobile games in general because of the psychological compulsion to progress, succeed, and own. It is akin to playing an MMORPG. MSP+ is just an extreme example in both the main story and spinoffs for the amount required. I totally hate it, but I cannot stop~~~ Thankfully, I have never once spent actual money on any of my games. Though, Tapjoy, sure, but that's not real money.

The rest of the SWD games are usually tolerable and easy enough for casual play... if you play every day. Same goes for Voltage games. The main stressors are the events. Anyone you talk with playing the FTP Voltage games would attest to how much the developers want us to buy things. And so many ads popping up nowadays! The beneficial thing about almost all SWD games is that you can change routes without penalty (outside of endings) whenever you don't have enough items.

While Arithmetic/Koyonplete games (that I played) have no actual barriers beyond limited daily progress, any extras or pictures require purchases by some method. Now, apps that are more like traditional visual novels are the games that you purchase entire routes in, as those lack the grinding needed in free-to-play VNs. After all, it was bought.
