@@GuardianEPlays i guess that to collect all memories, we need to repeatedly play this. Because there is a mode to start over from beginning
This is genuinely one of the best things to happen to AL in years, no, this is the best thing to happen in gachas period. Incredibly adorable, rediculously high effort, warmed my weary heart, and gave me a massive rush of nostalgia for old Princess Maker-type games like Long Live The Queen, just... wonderful really. Once more Manjuu proves why AL has been my comfort game for years❤

I look at the little girl, she looks at me.. *shrug* "Well, here we go again"

Very relatable - I played for a couple of hours without even realizing it until I looked at the clock.
The Project Identity: TB mode is very reminiscent of the Princess Maker games if you haven't played them. They were daughter raising simulators with a ton of endings. You probably heard that TB is a splitting image of the Siren leader Observer Zero/Dreamweaver. If you haven't noticed their plushies are exactly the same. This strongly hints they likely have a strong connection to each other that the story has not revealed yet.

Observer zero was actually TB but from original timeline The timeline we've been experience is in the "Port" timeline where main events,collabs and other side events happened. she was the first siren that was made to observe other timelines(such as this "port" timeline). And TB is our "port" observer zero Edit: the original timeline got destroyed because of "X" attack, and the sirens(anti "X") simulate multiverses of shikikans out there to collect data of shikikan to defeat "X" threat that probably invades the "port" timeline soon But worry not,this still a long way to go since the power of entire azur lane ships aren't enough to kick out or defeat "X" threat since the sirens even cannot beat it That's why they're simulate many universes of shikikans just to defeat this "X" being First setences are a theory but the rest is real

This is a surprisingly fun little mode. Reminds me of something like Long Live the Queen, but with less murder and bad endings.

I never thought i'd get that addicted to this mode,honestly,it is a pretty sweet and Golden experience! Well,i actually didn't chose all the paths to a single stat growth,i changed'em according to her growth and made her an almost all-rounder but with more focus into sensitivity,charisma,fitness,kind and musicality... Guess what? I made her grow into a Commander 2.0(I think this is the ending number 10)XD I also found some funny glitches,like,several times she was refering to me as "$1" instead of "Alas"(Abreviation of my whole nick)and once when she was performing an activity,the animation was upside-down XD Now that i finished the first cycle,i need to calm down and do my business with the shipgirls too,ended up skipping a lot of farming,hehe

Okay, this game mode couldn't have dropped at a better time for me because that day I was swamped by IRL issues and little TB relieved me of a good chunk of that stress. She's precious and get to have everything she wishes from me. Well... not a good idea though since by doing that on my first playthrough I ended up getting the "bad ending" lol. Not exactly "bad" bad but poor TB... I restarted and managed to get the genki athlete ending. Still, seeing TB become what is basically NJ+Balti without the flirt is pretty amusing AND disorienting. This thing is practically a full fledged Princess Maker game with lighter content, in size and tone, but I really love it. Unlocking everything's gonna take a while but I intend to just doing a run whenever I'm feeling down again. TB heals the soul.

I had played Shira Oka: Second Chances before, so I know what to do. and after spending an hour on this, I got the "Repetitive Everyday" ending. I want to play more to unlock all the endings, but I got tired of TB slow talk and also the fact that there's no way to skip the week even when a random event happens (skip cinematic does not skip the random event). So I guess I'll play it again when I don't have anything to do. Overall, quite a good experience; it's just that the game size is getting way too big for its own good.

You can always opt to mix in some of the basic trainings with the advanced, despite the boost not being huge, they don't hit the mood at all, and when you're able to fit 3 activities per day, it can still make a dent and tread water while you're building back up money and mood.

this mode is pure sugar. tha animations, the pictures, the avatar... i need a spoon to get all the sugar in. but i dont like that you can do this tb event in one go. as far as i saw all 44 weeks on one day? personally i would like it to be time gated... like 4 tb weeks in one real week. i understand that not everyone is interessted in the tb story, but for me it feels like you can just rush it to get the waifu tb. there is to say, i sat here for over 20min to decide on the name that tb should call me (my ingame name was to short -.- )... we all know manjuu and so being called onii-chan or father will end up wierd. but all in all its a very nice side event. props to the developers for such things. look where the game has come to. i ' m curious on what the other two things in the HQ will be... and i love the new ui. i hope they will do more ui work, every change so far was a nice update.

It's such a sweet and bright addition to things, and the UI is just so slick and clean. I do hope they're able to incorporate more of that into the main game too. I agree 100% about the lack of timegating. It seems odd, but there should be some incentive and reward for slow playing the game and continued commitment to it. I know some people will appreciate the ability to binge it all in one go, but those people are also the ones that will never go back to it. There's a lot to love about the even though, and I really do appreciate the polish and responsiveness of everything in the mode.

@@Angilc-Black-Scarlet It seems that for the alternate personalities you need to get a real ending with that personality and not just the "Repetitive Everyday" one. I unlocked the Amazing Athlete on the 2nd playthrough and that unlocks the Peppy TB for me. You can see the stat requirements for these endings in "Memories -> Endings". You only need the stats as far as I know, and since it's pretty demanding, I suggest only buying items and do activities that boost the stat needed for the ending you choose.

It's pretty tough, actually, moreso than I was expecting. Management and balance is a key element to the TB development, but there is a good bit of time for adjustment. With how the ending requirements are, I think the first runs are going to often be pretty scuffed, but that's okay to me. Maybe having some signs for the skill stat thresholds for endings would have been nice at the start (not reveal all, but at least some).

It's "Recommended" because that is based on what TB's current strongest stats are, and the missions are tailored along improving that stat to make it easier to reach an ending that require said stat. If you want to do something different, just choose a different plan beforehand. This genre of game is a lot more focused on sticking with your goal than adjusting on the fly. It's just the way it is.

Am I the only one kinda disappointed at this mode? This is about 4 hours of gameplay, mainly forced by unskippable repetitive animations. Each replay (if you actually do more than one), will give you about 2 new lines of content for about 2 hours of "gameplay". I have unlocked all skins and just started doing this yesterday evening. The actual different personalities, i.e., Quiet, Kind, and Peppy, only have one alternate skin (the sweater) which is unlocked for all characters after your second play through (I only did two, one 'no personality' run and one 'musician'), which is tedious, because there's nothing new and the 2 hours are, as previously stated, forced by unskippable animations you mainly just look at mood and the target values you're trying to hit for the ending you want. I feel like they could've done a lot more with this "mode". Content wise, this is more akin to a small event. If we could at least use the CG from the mode as backgrounds, or have the clothes she's wearing in her CGs as skins instead of just a sweater, I'd be somehow satisfied. Maybe I simply had higher expectations after they promoted this so heavily.
@GuardianEPlays
6 ай бұрын
I would say there's more untapped potential, but I wouldn't say I'm disappointed. I wish there was overall more integration into the game proper, but maybe that will happen in future story events or updates to this mode (it is called 1.0, after all). They probably didn't want to lock a bunch of rewards to the mode, but that makes it less impactful. And they didn't timegate it at all either, which is nice from a convenience perspective, but limits its long term value. But, it's a pretty huge overhaul and addition to the game, just from a UI/gameplay standpoint. There's a lot of unlockable memories, endings, events that you can't get in just two playthroughs. Exploring those things has a lot of value, and you're not really intended to binge through the whole thing in a sitting or two (which is why I think it should have been a bit timegated). There were comparisons to Princess Maker early on, and that's basically what we got. If you're not used to these stat progression games, I could see why it might feel lacking, but the fun is around balancing the activities towards the goals.
