Gather tribers, its time for another humiliation ritual. The JP website finally updated with the story scenario up to chapter 5. Obviously untranslated so either rely on google translate or wait for someone who can read moonrunes to do it for you. I figured I'd make this thread so we can cope and seethe at what could have been.

Alright ready to bump again. Also I am so mad reading through this first part. It looks like they had almost two chapters done and were going to be around for much longer. Look at these photos.

We did know it from the leaks that came out but this just double extra confirmed it. A great deal of the content was already finished, and they're obligated to keep the servers up due to contracts most likely, they really wouldn't have stood to lose anything by just uploading it and see if anything happened

I agree. This is what makes me mad. I understand completely that this bombed, but to not release the rest of the content and give it an ending was dumb. They do not lose anything from that and in fact people would not be mad about it in the first place. Akatsuki very much messed up in that regard.

They're never going to do an English release so pls do and post when you've got it. I'm desperate enough to keep this thread alive and endure the inevitable humiliation from the rest of the board to at least get that. I imagine the only other time this game will ever have a thread again will be around the time of server shutdown

I will look into it later on myself as well and see if I can get it done. If I can get it in this thread without needing a Document I will do so. I hate the fact that the Reddit OP was just skimming the whole thing. If this thread dies. I will go back to /vmg/ and just post it there.

1. Main Story Chapter 3 Appendix Story Telemetric Site

Note: Anytime you see /Nine or /Recollection it is what is happening in the scene and where it is happening on stage.

Main story Chapter 3 Append Story Telemetric Site

This is a script for a conversation play that was to be implemented in the game.
Please understand that there are parts that are difficult to read or imagine.

In addition, this append story is a sequel to the main story chapter 3, โ€œNeo Chiyodaโ€ City.

Scene 1

Santaro Mita
/ NINE Hey!
Hey, who's free right now?

Mitaro Mita
/NINE I need some help with something

Ichinosuke Akiba
/ NINE What's the matter, that it is?
We three siblings can be there soon.

Senju Hyakkichi Taro
/NINE Seriously?
Thank you very much!

Senju Hyakkichi Taro
/NINE Then why don't you come to the old Chiyoda City?
I'll be waiting for you and Mita there.

Ichinosuke Akiba
/NINE Yes, I understand.
Wait a little longer!

Neo Chiyoda City, near the ruins of Chiyoda Castle
Ichinosuke, Hinagiku, and Saizo gather and look around

Akiba Ichinosuke : Hyakuichitaro-dono said
is it around here?
Akiba Hinagiku: Where are you two?

...Ah!

Mita and Hyakkichitaro are fighting a drone
The drone is defeated and Mita wipes his sweat

Mita Mitaro: Phew, is that all?
Senju Hyakkichitaro: That's all that was around here. But they keep springing up one after another.

Ichinosuke Akiba, I apologize for my tardiness!

Santaro Mita: Oh, you're here! Sorry, I called you out suddenly.
Akiba Hinagiku: Don't worry! But more importantly, what's with the drone?
Senju Hyakuichitaro, listen to me!
Actually--

Senju Hyakkichiitaro
/ Recollection Scene: Was it at the back of this place?
There's a famous ramen shop in Neochiyoda.
Mita Santaro / reminiscence Oh. I heard that the owner dresses up as a maid
and runs the place.
Mita Mitaro
/ reminiscence I heard that the owner is dressed as a maid and shows
how to cut hot water with a sharp knife!
Senju Momochitaro
/ recollection: What? What's that? I hope it's good, right?
I'm sure it's good, right? / reminiscing โ€“ hmmm..!

Help~~!
/ reminiscence Mita and Hyakkichiitaro recognize the voice
Senju Hyakkichiitaro
/ reminiscence Hey, what the hell!
A child is being attacked by a drone!

Mita Mitaro
/ recollection I don't know...
Let's go! Hyakuichitaro!
Senju Hyakkichiitaro
/ recollection Oh!
Senju Hyakkichitaro -- and it's like,
drones are running amok around here.
Mitaro Mita At first we were dealing with them, but
that wasn't enough.

Mitaro: That's why we contacted the NINE Group.
Saizo Akiba I see.
Let me see.
Saizo approaches the drone and examines it.
Saizo Akiba
This is....
Ichinosuke Akiba, what's going on, that it is?
Saizo Akiba Look, here.
It has the Hou family's imprint on it.
Senju Hyakkichitaro: Ah! The Hou family?
Ichinosuke Akiba: That means...
Saizo Akiba: It must be a drone that belonged to the Hou family.
Saizo Akiba: I don't know for what reason, but
it might have gone out of control and is attacking everyone.
Mitaro Mita: That's not good, is it?
If it's the Hou family's drone, they must have a lot of them!
Akiba Ichinosuke: Hmmm..!
We must split up and stop those drones.

Akiba Hinagiku But there must be many places in this vicinity that seem to be collapsing.
We may be in danger, but aren't the two of you?
Akiba Ichinosuke: Then there is no problem.
I will be in charge of such places.
Saizo Akiba Then, why don't you at least borrow G&O Company's
mobile simple device/telemetric sight?
Saizo Akiba: It's a prototype, so it's difficult to use for a long period of time, but
seems to be able to be installed immediately.
Saizo Akiba: Like an activity maintenance unit,
it can be moved immediately to the place where it is installed.
That is interesting, that it is.
Ichinosuke Akiba If I ask Gotanda-dono, will he arrange it for me at ???
Saizo Akiba: Probably.
I will ask him, so please wait a little.

Akiba Ichinosuke: Oh! Is this the telemetry site?
Senju Hyakuichitaro: It really happened so fast.
But...
Senju Hyakuichitaro, why is Ichinosuke's face drawn on it?
Saizo Akiba: I told you, didn't I?
I told you it was a prototype.
Saizo Akiba: There are some restrictions.
I heard that only Ichinosuke's brother can use it this time.
Mitaro Mita: I didn't know that.
I was going to use it myself.
Mita Mitaro: I don't like the idea of leaving Ichinosuke alone in a dangerous place
Ichinosuke Akiba:I appreciate your concern, that I do.
But there is nothing to worry about.
Ichinosuke Akiba: This place is like home to me,
Akiba Ichinosuke: Well, it is time for us to leave.
Everyone, please do as we discussed earlier.
Senju Hyakkichitaro Oh! Each of you attack from a different direction and report back to me if you find anything

Saizo Akiba So, I'm going back to
hinacafe where the internet environment is good, and I'm going to support everyone...
Saizo Akiba: I'm going to investigate the Hou family's drone in detail.
Akiba Ichinosuke: Indeed.
Then....
Akiba Ichinosuke: I wish you all the best!

Sorry, sorry!
Are you Mr. Akiba of Trash Tribe?
Kayakie comes running after finding Ichinosuke.

Ichinosuke Akiba:Yes, that I am...
If I may ask, you are the one Saizo was talking about?
Kikie Kayacho: Yes. I, Kikie Kayacho...
commonly known as โ€œKayakieโ€!
Kichie Kayacho: I'm a freelance news writer, and I cover all
incidents in Neotokyo country.
Kikie Kayacho: I have asked people from Trash Tribe
to provide me with information before.
Akiba Ichinosuke: Oh?
So that means today, too?
Kichie Kayacho: Yes! I heard that a drone went out of control and
attacked neighborhood residents.
Kichie Kayacho: So! I was wondering if I could interview
those who have set out to exterminate drones!
Akiba Ichinosuke: I see...
But we're just starting to deal with it now.
Akiba Ichinosuke: I am sorry to trouble you, but I don't think you have much useful information, do you?
Kichie Kayacho: I see... then can we leave the interview for later and go to
Also Can I ask one favor?

Kichie Kayacho, Metafilm is an item that was digitized and compiled from documents left by the Hou family's right hand man at
!
Kayacho Kie: We want to use it as a valuable document that still lies in each city
for various investigations.
Kichie Kayacho: In some cases, we can donate them to museums, etc. It is never for personal gain!
Akiba Ichinosuke: I see.
I beg your pardon, I made a mistake, that I did
Akiba Ichinosuke: If it is for such a purpose, I will gladly cooperate with you.
Kikie Kayacho: thank you very much! Well then, I will be waiting around here so please feel free to contact me anytime!

That is as far as I have been getting with Deepl right now. I may stop or keep going. But I will try to see how much I can get through later on. But this is so cool it's the Drone Event we did not get but with Ichinosuke.

were nagging me, saying "Oujirou-sama is strange these days.

Kazuki-dono is an important friend of Oujiro-sama!
Akiba Ichinosuke Not to mention, Oujiro-sama just swore in front of his people
that he would straighten out Neo-Chiyoda City.
Ichinosuke Akiba I am sure that there are many things that the two of you should discuss and decide together.
In fact, I would like you to rely on us as well....

End of Scene 3. I will try looking into this later on and work on it more and look into /vmg/ T9 thread but no guarantees. I have this on a document. Deepl definitely does a good job of translating the text of what is going on. It's sad because it feels like there is a lot of things that pick up overall.

I have decided to use Google Webpage for translation and will provide some notes. It mostly has everything correct minus naming and gender specific things but I will quickly go over important bits. While linking the Google Websites so people can archive them in their own way or write it down themselves.

Main Story Chapter 4 "Shinjuku" City Story XB Scenario

The whole match basically revolves around exposing that despite multiple Ruriiroโ€™s existing there is slight differences to each one such as eye-shadow, feelings, mannerisms. She keeps denying this and says they think the same or alike. This is to find out who the real Ruriiro is. Turns out it is Rumi who used to work in the Hostess Club with Hikaru, Yayoi, and Hiyori as a Maid.

Akutagawa then walks in pushes Hikaru and others who were nearby grabs Rumi by the neck and then murders her through strangling. Space Lasers activate, and Akutagawa is still standing after taking a hit from it. Everyone is trying to fight Akutagawa but are shoved away including Yo. Yo picks up Suiโ€™s beam bat, and begins to fight DUST aka Akutagawa. Once Yo has won Akutagawa then is zapped and vaporized.

This was the ending of Chapter 5. It's very melancholic for an ending, but it does feel like they knew this was going to end, so they decided to kind of leave it off here. I would highly recommend reading this Google Webpage link and going through it because Yo had his breaking point with the Scarecrows and regained some of his memories back.

Honestly It's very similar to 100 Line in some ways because in that game the characters ponder if they are the same people after being "repaired" in the revive-o-matic, or if they're completely new clones of the characters with the same memories. At some point characters in that game are repaired from just tissue of their lower half, with the brain being completely destroyed, really thought provoking shit.
But yeah you can really see Kodaka's influence on the story from this new stuff, he really likes his Ship of Theseus in tribe's story and 100L

Honestly i will say it's a game that is divisive due to its format of how the Game was conceived. After playing Umamusume I can see where this went wrong.

1. The Overworld needed to be more linear and open up exploration after completing the chapter. It was the opposite you needed to do quests even if they were short because of level gating people felt this was long. This was starting to be fixed in Chapter 3 and they were trying to fix it in Chapter 1 and 2
2. Boss fights should have been extremely easy but have the hard boss fights segmented to those who really like hard difficulty. Which they were doing in Chapter 3.
3. The Battle Pass should have been just Card and Currency. Outfits should have been sold separately each month or you can unlock the outfits for the Character if you had enough duplicates of the character through rolling. Which was not incentivized enough.
4. The refund should have never happened.
5. The Store should have sold Level Up tickets for Characters for Stat increases/unlocked abilities aka Ascendant and they were planning to. All that existed was different color outfits and the Limited Outfits if you did not buy them from the Battle Pass and the Stamina, Currency items.
6. Not enough Content or Events out the gate to keep people coming back. This started to become a huge problem because all we had was Tsuruko's event and the extra grind Dungeon to hold everyone over. But it was very minimal which kept people wondering what was going on.

Honestly a lot of this could be fixed, it absolutely felt like they knew how to fix it. Sadly Akatsuki killed it because it underperformed in the investor meeting before they could launch a come back. I do truly hope they salvage this as a Console Game or do a reboot of some kind and redo the format to make it more mobile friendly and incentivize people to keep playing and rolling.

I think they thought they could make tons of money off of it. If I am Akatsuki i would try to get the original core team back finish the game v and sell it for 80$ but have DLC worth 30 to help get people to go into 120$ territory and even more so. There is still ways to monetize the game.

Tsuki was not anywhere in these chapters. Yo only texts Tsuki at the end to ask what he was really like. Tsuruko is nowhere as well. Basically I think the format of putting new characters in your party from a previous adventure makes sense.

Chapter 1 had Tsuruko, Gotanda etc
Chapter 2 Kazuki
Chapter 3 Akiba trio
Chapter 4 Hikaru, Yayoi, Hiyori this is where you no longer have Tsuki and Tsuruko show up.
Chapter 5 Taito trio and Hikaru, Yayoi and Hiyori exist
I do believe Chapter 6 would have Hikaru, Yayoi and Hiyori move out of the party including Akiba trio and have Taito Trio exist.

Seriously? I thought it'd be automatic.
So I have to reinstall now and submit a report?

You either pop off like horse pussy or die a miserable death like Tribe Nine.

I do not know. You may need to look into the latest maintenance update on the site.

This implies that Q is always confused and uncertain how to act about the Ojiro stuff and Kazuki is always around to change the subject when things start going off course. Really would've been cool to actually see that kind of thing play out over the course of the story

I think that's what was going to happen. And also >>530806192 Q may have came to terms with the fact that he is no longer Ojiro and does not remember Kazuki anymore. What is also interesting in Chapter 5 was how Ueno also lost his memory of Taito Tribe but remembers everything else. The theme of losing a key memory once they die and come back to life is an interesting concept. This makes it interesting when it comes to Yo because this does mean that perhaps he was very powerful at one point and it seems like Zero remembers who Yo always was ever since Chapter 2 and reawakens again in Chapter 5 fully during the match against the Scarecrows.

Rereading the XB Match right now makes it more interesting. Dust wishes to get rid of the Continues and wishes for permanent death. He has been in control of the "Remaining Lives" of this world and wishes to erase Continues and Zero. A life without death to Dust/Akutagawa is meaningless. It "Cheapens" everything.

Miu is trying to explain having Continues does not lose meaning and Jio is grateful for the fact he is still alive despite losing something important. Also this is entering Meta territory for Yo(you the player) as he has had to continue many times after dying and has most likely lost his sense of self in this process.

Yo is asking himself why he knows nothing about Sui or Tsuki, where they are born, where they died, various things are lost. Miu reassures Yo he can regain his memories back somehow if he keeps "continuing"

Yo is entering back in Chapter 2 territory again. Where he has finally entered Darkness mode. He has regained who he is, just by conquering XB, defeating the Numbers, and realizes if you lose your memories you can eventually regain them back. Continues must exist.

At the end of the XB Match Zero explains that Akutagawa's reward was he could control the remaining lives and manipulate them. Yo asks Zero if he can truly regain what he lost. Zero basically says that is what he already did against Akutagawa and to prepare for the next chapter.

This is the first scene that plays after Yo recovers from the Inn and decides to walk out and go into the Cultivation area then the dialogue continues to here >>530809005 this is the only time Tsuki was ever mentioned. This also does mean Zero knows Yo on a close level, and Yo realizes he knows about Zero in some way. Man this is amazing writing lol.

lol I do agree. Plus in some ways I am convinced that Kino Nine should have been made a few years earlier or later.

It originally was, but apparently T9 was in dev hell for a few years. I remember there being leaks of pictures showing the game was a menu game instead of an "open world" game before.

It had the GFL2 interface. I somewhat do believe maybe it should have been more menu based and had a small arena to fight in with boss battles and enemies. That way the scope would not be as huge and they could make their money back.
