TIPS:
These tips that I have concluded will make your life easier when playing the game.
You may not understand them if you have just barely advanced the game. However,
once you know what you are doing, these Tips should help a lot.
1. These following tips are related to game-play in general, so you should at least
play the first stage to get the general ideal how the game-play works. I decided to
group them all in one.
In order to get a high score, always change position when the Action Bar is
full. The Enthusiasm Gauge can be charged by both Talking to Sonico and getting
Perfect or Great at the circles. However, Talking will only fill very little
Enthusiasm (like up to 20%), and if Sonico stays at the same position for a very
long time, getting Perfect or Great will not fill the Enthusiasm Gauge quickly
anymore.
Use Talking when the Enthusiasm Gauge is completely filled to gain Enthusiasm
Level. Maximum Enthusiasm Level is 3, and higher Enthusiasm Level gives more
circles and more scores.
Getting Perfect earns twice more score than Great and four times more score
than Good.
2. Your clothes decide your position, or how you move to be more precise, on the
grid.
This is a quite obvious thing, but since it is also very important, I will put it
here. Basically, when you put on certain outfit, you will move a bit on the grid,
which determines the game route and Endings. So check your current position before
shooting, and if it is not the direction that you want, change to another outfit.
Just remember to pay attention to the client's request percentage though.
3. Once you completed a client's request, you can use the Skip Shoot function.
Say if you want to move left, but the outfits that requires sufficient client's
satisfaction will end up moving you right, you can just equip the outfit, and
complete the shoot. Then reload the save at the beginning of that shoot, change to
another outfit that fits the direction that you desire, then Skip Shoot. You need
to complete a client's request at least once to make the Skip button available.
8. Complete the game once to unlock Ouka shop, where you need the two really
important items for completing the game: Position Chart and Outfits Data.
They both costs 1000 Sonicoins each. The Position Chart shows the position of the
Endings on the grid and which Ending is missing. The Outfit Data shows how the
selected outfit will affect your position in the grid, and how is that outfit
compared to the client's request.
That should conclude the important tips. More information about specific
Achievements is available below.
Basic Achievements
These Achievements are pretty self-explanatory and relatively easy to get. If you
participate in the game long enough, you will eventually get these Achievements
without really noticing or trying a lot.
Wild Photographer
Photograph a sub-target.
King of Beasts
Photograph 100 sub-targets.
Basically doing the previous Achievement 99 more times.If you want to get this
Achievement as fast as possible, I suggest taking picture at the Beach. Here, birds
may fly in huge flock, not to mention the dolphin.
Super Combo
Get a combo score of 100.
It is a relatively easy Achievement. Bad and Poor will break combo, so do not get
those. Also, Easy Mode will spawn the least circles each shoot, so you might want
to do these on Normal or Hard difficulty.
Ultra Combo
Get a combo score of 200.
Now this one is a bit tricky. On Normal difficulty, there will be barely enough
circles to get this Achievements. So you should do this Achievement on Hard mode,
with a client that only requires one shoot, as clients who require two or three
shoots will have less time available for each shoot. Also, shooting at Event Hall
will result in more circles.
Nervous Date
Go on a first date with Sonico.
The first date happens on Episode 4. It will always trigger, so there is not much
to talk about.
Great Shoot!
Get and SS ranking on a photo shoot.
I think getting an SS raking is fairly easy, especially with the first shoot in
Episode 0. If you could not get it, simply practice more. However, keeping mind
that playing on Easy will never award an SS rank.
Rookie Photographer
Complete 10 photo shoots.
Passionate Photographer
Complete 50 photo shoots.
Veteran Photographer
Complete 100 photo shoots.
It will take some time, but as you keep playing, you will get this Achievement
eventually.
Easy Mode
Beat the game on Easy difficulty.
Playing on Easy Mode and get to an Ending (excluding Bad End of course, and
probably Ending 18) to obtain this Achievement. Also, this Achievement will not
unlock even if you complete the game on Normal or Hard Mode, so you need a separate
play-through for this, which is quite annoying.
Normal Mode
Beat the game on Normal difficulty.
Hard Mode will unlock after you beat the game on Normal difficulty. So, beat it
again on Hard Mode.
Dream Fulfilled
Beat the bonus stage.
When you finish the last take from a client that requires multiple takes, while
Sonico is having full Enthusiasm Gauge and Enthusiasm Level 3 (max), you will enter
the Bonus Stage.
All you have to do in the Bonus Stage is to build as much combo and gain as much
extra scores as possible. Getting Bad or Poor will not break combo or anything
quite negative, so you cannot fail this stage anyway. Finish it to get the
Achievement.
Understanding the Branches - Ending Achievements part 1
So in this part, I will be talking about the routes/branches strucutre of this
game. While it is not fully related to every Ending Achievements, I think it is
still important to understand how this game branching out, for the sake of
completing other Achievements.
Episode 0
In this Episode, you will have the first shoot. The client will have 100%
satisfaction score with this shoot, no matter what outfits you put in. So if you
have already planned a certain direction or Ending that you want, this shoot is a
nice first boost.
Episode 1
There is a choice with 3 options here that will affect Sonico location, aka move
her, on the grid. However, the impact of the choice is quite minimal, I think. So
just focusing on the outfits is a better option, you don't need to mind the choice.
Episode 2
There will also be a choice with 3 options, quite similar to Episode 1, so I guess
there is not much to talk about.
Episode 3
This is where things start to separate. Starting from this point, every shoot will
have more than one take, meaning you can push Sonicomi further in the direction you
want. On top of that, the position of Sonico on the grid right after Episode 3
shoot will decide the scene of Episode 5 (and the Second Date if it occurs) later.
There are three possible Episode 5 scenes, determined by Sonico's position,
separated by three regions of color below. Again, the position is determined, aka
Episode 5 is locked, right after Episode 3 shoot, so keep that in mind.
Episode 4
Episode 4 is the first date. Use it to increase Sonico's affection. You should know
if the Second Date will happen in this Episode.
Episode 5
Another important Episode. After the shoot of this Episode, Sonico will enter one
of the five route, separated by 5 columns.
To make it easier, I will name the route A, B, C, D and E, from left to right
Episode 6
The route that has been locked after Episode 5 shoot will start. Keep in mind that
since the route is locked, even if Sonico moves to another column after this shoot,
the subsequent story will still be played out accordingly to the one in the locked
route.
Episode 7
After this Episode, you will witness one of the 15 Ending, based on the locked
route and your current location of the grid (unless you are going for True Ending,
or your client's satisfaction is below 70% on average).
Basically, the Ending that you get is from the square of the locked route that is
on the same row as your current location.
To put it simple:
+ If you entered route C and ended Episode 7 in square 9, you will get Ending 9.
+ If you entered route C and ended Episode 7 in square 6, you will still get Ending
9
Also, the lower middle row (which has no number) shares the same number as the
upper middle row.
Normal Ends - Ending Achievements part 2
Since I have explained how the branching system works, I just gonna list all 15
Achievements related to the 15 Normal Endings, for the sake of completeness.
It should be worth noticing that the Endings in the corner (1,3,13,15) have lower
acquisition rate compared to others Normal Ends. The reason is that it takes a
longer distance to travel from the center to a corner. So, after you have unlocked
the Ouka shop, you should have a look at some outfit Sets in the shop. While
matching various outfits may end up moving Sonico even further to any desired
direction, using Set is more simple, universal and useful when you have not gotten
many outfits, so I will list some Sets that can advance Sonico considerably to
corners.
Fashion Leader
Get Ending 02.
Japan's Idol
Get Ending 03.
Route B Ending
Commercial Queen
Get Ending 04.
TV Star
Get Ending 05.
Angel of Laughter
Get Ending 06.
Enter Route B and Finish Episode 7 on the bottom row.
Quick note: In case keep getting Bad End in Episode 7 of this route, it is because
you have selected a choice at this scene.
Just do not chose anything, wait a bit, all the choices will disappear and you are
good to go.
Route C Ending
Enter Route C and Finish Episode 7 on either of the middle rows. This is the most
common Ending, due to it being in the center of the grid, where Sonico starts.
Subculture Icon
Get Ending 09.
Route D Ending
Gamer's Heroine
Get Ending 10.
Digital Diva
Get Ending 12.
Route E Ending
Miracle Cosplayer
Get Ending 14.
Fairy of Akihabara
Get Ending 15.
Intro:
+ Look: Face
+ Touch: Face
Episode 0 / Prologue
+ "Sonico, then"
+ "Sorry 'bout earlier, my bae!"
+ Look: Body
+ "Relax, Relax"
+ Look: Face
Episode 1
+ Touch: Hand
+ "It's a guitar case, right?"
+ "I'm sure you will be able to keep playing" (You need to wait a bit for this
choice to appear)
+ "You've got to be more careful"
+ "It's fine. Relax"
Episode 2
+ "Umm"
+ Look: Face
+ "Look. You're all tense!"
+ Touch: Hand
Episode 3
+ Wait, and don't do anything
+ "How had the work been so far?"
Episode 4
+ "It suits you perfectly"
+ "Should we hold hand?"
+ "Which one do you want?"
+ "Maybe not"
+ "Sure, but I don't eat them often."
Episode 5
+ Look: Sonico
+ "I know what I said earlier, but..." or "It's fine. I'm sure we will win!"
+ "Come to think of it"
Exciting Date
Go on a second date with Sonico.
Get enough Affection with Sonico before Episode 4 ends to unlock this Achievement.
Unlocking the 2nd Date is really important to get some Achievements, not just the
True End.
Use the above choices for other purposes if you need them. For now, let's move to
the True End.
Episode 6:
+ "This coffee this pretty good"
+ Touch: Hair
+ "To move people with your music"
+ Voice bubble choice: Doing everything correctly and you will have the option to
call Angie or Sonico. However, calling Sonico will proceed the route A story
normally, so you will want to call Angie for the True End.
+ Any option
Interlude:
+ "It's been like this ever since that day."
+ "No, that was the first time."
+ "Let's do our best on our next shoot"
Pass the last shoot and you will enter the Finale, where you can get the two
Achievements below.
Just between Us
Reach maximum affection with Sonico.
When you reach this screen, take action. You will know what to do.
Following the above section to proceed the story and you will get this Ending
eventually.
Other Endings
Besides the 15 Normal Ends and the True End, there are two Extra Ending.
Punkish!
Get Extra Ending 01.
After the final shoot of any Normal End (not sure if it works with the True End,
but not a big deal anyway), if you average client's satisfaction between all shoot
is below 70%, you will get this Ending, although I suggest getting it below 60% for
Extra clothes.
Ultimate Weapon
Get Extra Ending 02.
It has been said that before unlocking this Ending, you need to unlock the 15
Normal Ends, True End and Extra Ending 01. While I do not think it is necessary, I
cannot confirm because I have already unlocked every other Good Ending before
getting on this one, so let's just stick with it for now.
Okay, once you got the above requirement, start a new game. You need to touch and
talk about Sonico's headphone whenever you have the opportunity to do so. There
will be four scenes available: one in the Intro, two in Episode 00 (Epilogue) and
one in Episode 2.
After doing that, in Chapter 5, select "You've got your own secret weapon!" at this
scenes.
Enjoy!
Sonicomi Master
Get all good endings.
If you have followed everything correcting, unlocking the 15 Normal Ends, the True
End, and the two Extra one, this Achievement should pop-up, possibly right after
you got the Achievement Ultimate Weapon.
Doomed Wanderer (Bad Ends) - Ending Achievements part 4
At the time of writing, Doomed Wanderer is currently one of the four most difficult
Achievements to get, tying with the three outfit-unlocking Achievements, which is
insane. The data for unlocking all Bad Ends is lacking, and the process is
tremendous.
According to JAST USA/J-list, this game has 22 Bad Endings. I can only be sure
about 20 of them, and I believe there are only 20 of them. But I will put some of
my experience about what could be the other two. Do not worry about the others too
much because you might have done it at some point without noticing. Of course, if
somebody can help me clear things up here, it would be great. At the end of the
day, all you need to do is following my guide below and everything will work just
fine.
You will also unlock some other Achievements in the process.
The tutorial part is a bit confusing. You will get this Achievement if you do
nothing on Episode 0 shoot, not the tutorial.
Lost Photographer
Get a bad ending.
Once you got all 18 Bad Ends sorted out, you are over half way.
Doomed Wanderer
Get all bad endings.
Do everything I mentioned here and I am sure you will get the Achievement. If you
have any problem, make sure you do not mess up at the first 18 Bad Ends.
Other Miscellaneous Achievements
There are a few other Achievements left, so I will list them all here, except for
the three outfits collecting Achievements. They have their own class.
Scenery Photographer
Unlock all backgrounds.
Honestly, I do not understand the true mechanic of this Achievement. I was able to
unlock this Achievement around the same time I complete the True End route, but I
still got like 7/15 Endings of the grid that I have not finished, so I do not think
it is about the shooting location, but also not related to see all of the game
backgrounds either. I think it is more like see all type of background. Anyway, I
believe if you are going for all the Good End, you will get this Achievement
anyway.
Hair Master
Unlock all hairstyles.
On Second Date, Sonico will ask you if she should change her hair style. See will
ask you 2-3 choices, and there are 3 possibles dates scenes, so like 8 choices in
total. If you want to get this Achievement as soon as possible, simply reload and
select every choice (but you must skip probably til Episode 6 shoot for the
hairstyle to be added to your outfits).
Millionaire
Buy everything in the Ouka Shop.
Translated to: grind a load of Sonicoin. If you want to go for all the
Achievements, this part is probably redundant because the Achievements Accessory
Master will require you go play like...a lot. However, if you just want to get this
Achievement then here is my Sonicoin Grinding Strategy:
+ Grind coin in the Photo shoots section (Menu Extra -> Photo Shoots)
+ Use either client Hanzo, St-Sna or Club XEGA (because they require only 1 take,
and the location is not locked).
+ Select the shooting location: Even Hall. The Enthusiasm gauge charges quite fast
here. You only need to change position once on each level before the gauge is full.
The number of circles is also quite high too.
+ Only use Hard Mode, and do not break the combo.
In case you are wondering why we only use with 1 take, it is because we have full 3
minutes for that shoot (2 or 3 takes only do 2:30 each). When you get the combo
really high, the score for each shoot is massive. Therefore, the last 30 seconds
(16.7% of your time) may account for like 30% of your score, if you do not break
the combo of course. Do everything correctly and you will get well over 1K Sonicoin
per shoot. This is how it looks like if you do everything correctly.
Workaholic
Complete all Client Requests.
- The first client is: You. Unlock this client by trying to shoot something at the
Menu Free Mode.
- The next 2 clients are unmissable, for Episode 0 and1 shoot.
- The next 2 clients are for Episode 2 shoot, depends on whether Sonico is on the
Mainstream side, or the Niche side.
- The next 4 clients are for Episode 3 shoot, depends on Sonico position on the
four quarters of the grid.
- The next 6 clients are for Episode 5 shoot. Remember Episode 5 has 3 different
scene areas? That, combined with whether Sonico is on the Energetic side or the
Mellow side will give you 6 clients.
- The next 10 clients are for Episode 6 shoot. 5 columns/routes with either Mellow
or Energetic side will result in 10 different request.
- The next 15 clients are for Episode 7 shoot. Each numbered square has a different
client, just like the 15 Endings, so depend on which square you are on, you will
get the corresponding request.
- The last 2 clients are related to the True End.
So there you have it: 1+2+2+4+6+10+15+2= 42 Client Request. Good luck.
Clothing Master, Accessory Master and True Sonicomi Master (Outfit Achievements)
And here we are, the grand finale: the Achievements for getting all the outfits.
Clothing Master
Unlock all clothing items.
Accessory Master
Unlock all accessories.
If you have done from 1-5, you should have gotten both Clothing Master and
Accessory Master. So you may think: True Somicomi Master should pop-up too...
NOPE! LOL. This Achievement is confirmed by Nitro plus to get bugged. You may not
get it, even though you have actually gotten everything. At the time of writing,
Nitro plus is assisting JAST to fix it, so, yeah, we cannot do anything but wait.
YES! They fixed this Achievement. If you got the two previous clothing
Achievements, this one will unlock automatically for you
True Sonicomi Master
Unlock all outfit parts.
Take a moment to look at this Achievement. If you have gotten it, it means you have
achieved something that only few man have ever done. You are legend.
Miscellaneous
1) Note that a very few users have reported that this specific Achievement is
bugged. It is actually the most common Achievement but, for some reason, if you
fall into that tiny minor few then move the Save and Data folder (see Tips 6) to
somewhere else (cut/paste). Start a New Game, do this Achievement, then restore the
previously moved folder to its original location (delete the new folder that
appeared there). Also, even if this Achievement is bugged, it should not affect the
next one, so you just need to do this once.
The Easiest-to-get and the Hardest-to-get Achievements are both have issue. I
wonder why T.T
2) A HUGE THANK to Nicholas from JAST (Nope, he just won't accept my friend request
T.T), and Mike for helping me with this guide.
3) If you want to share anything, don't mind comment below.
4) Apparently the one who is in charge of making Steam Trading Card for this game
at JAST somehow forgot about one of the most important character Cutie Q . Just...
HOW?
So, yeah, I give you the ONE AND ONLY Cutie Q Trading Card
