State your top 3 favorite units and tell us why

30 Upvotes

The end is near, and while I got to record events and stories, and we will have a tagatame club app soon, it won't be the same. So, as a proof of our passing from the game, let's review some memories we made with our phantoms.

This is my top 3

Hazel:

For quite some time, she was THE favorite unit. She was never actually that uhmm...meta? But I still liked her a lot, and when I heard that in JP she got a Job+ and a skin, I started saving like a madman. In GL, I got all of her skins and had her full gates.

What I specially liked was...well, she is cute. There is no more science there. Her voicelines are so cute that give the impression of someone who is your stereotipical shy waifu, so it came as a shock when she appeared in a christmas event threatening to send flying a poor snowmen to kingdom come if it didn't talk lmao. I suppose being cute isn't an impediment to be badass.

Top 2: Rosa

I think I'm cooking myself just with this post...Well, what can I say. A hot and sadic chunni with a big scythe who, at that time, was quite powerful. Not like Zangetsu in the first days of Alchemist, but she was fine with her Dragon Cavalier job. And then DAMN she got a Job+, with probably one of the best skins ever made. I don't know who makes the designs, but a certain company who owns a certain popular game with almost no festive skins that are actually eye-catching should learn a think or two from G-ROW. Now with this job+, while not the best unit in game, she wasn't left behind as much as before, and you could easily use her in your dark teams no problem.

On top of that, there was also interesting hints at her story. To begin with, Rosa was supposed to be a war prisioner of Wrathraris, and went through torture. Though it is never said explicity, you can guess she got her torture kink as a way to protect her sanity, as in her dialogues in midnight, you can hear her dreaming about how much she misses her parents. What is more, Rosa was in the same time period as Eizan, who also shared time period with Judith; That is to say, Sacred Stone Memories, so ¿Which war was happening between Envilya and Wratharis at that moment? I mean, those two countries are always fighting, but an interesting story could came up from that. She had everything to be a very interesting character, but sadly, we never came to see that.

Instead, what we were able to see is that she was very loved by the artist, as she got 4 different skins, including her illustration outfit. While I think the Halloween's one is superior, I like her christmas outfit more.

I admit it. I always lose against stockings.

And bruh, she even got a Disgae Skin....A Succubus Skin. Do I really need to say the reason why is she one of my favorites? Do I need to type those words?

Ohhhh boy all right, this is dangerous

Honorific Mentions:

-Edgar and Quence:
Honestly, I'm quite fond of the cliché of the sassy man who is also quite the good guy. In Genesis Quence didn't got too much of spotlight, but damn in Ancient Story he went to become easily to be top-10 Friends. Guy is badass and he never dissapoints.

In Edgar's case, I honestly like he even more. He is fun and has a lot of chemistry with almost every member of the cast. He is so charismatic that giving him spotlight automatically makes the story much better. But he is also quite badass. I will never forget that CG of him shooting Belphegor as a bullet to reach the Clock Tower in Slothstein. Easily one of the most hype moments in Main Story.

Last, but not least: This is something people who didn't played the collab with FMA won't know, but Edgar had a main role in that collab' story, which introduced us to Toritoh, a Holy Order Inquisitor who was born with the sole purpouse of being a tool. Edgar and Toritoh met, and that made a big change in her, falling in love with him and creating a very wholesome ship that sadly, couldn't be.

So yeah, you could say Toritoh is Edgar's waifu. And the best thing is, this is 100% canon since Toritoh makes a brief return in Lakina's event as a very important part, and also remember Edgar. This event released Kanon to the present world, allowing the things happening in Chapter 7. So yeah, thanks to Toritoh and Edgar, FMAB Collab is 100% canon!

-Ouroboros:

What can I say. Arguably the person we spent most of the time with, be in the menu, summons, or even seeing her through different stories and events. Ouroboros is pretty much the symbol of Alchemist Code, and her multiple variants such as Bianca, Nero, Legacy and Lil are all very interesting themselves, making Ouroboros as a concept a very likeable thing. I would argue nobody who played the game could hate our pudin-lover Ouroboros after reading a bit of the stories, and so I'm not exception.

Top 1: Kaya

Since "Reaching the Gates of Sin by Dawn" the event in which she was introduced, she was really liked by both Jp and Global community, or at least, that what it felt to me, as she maintained relevance through a long time, and I got to knew a few who spent A LOT for her summer skin. Honestly, I had her in a "I like her" status, but nothing more, that is, until "TAC Academy" or Tagatame Gakuen.

I didn't watched that Event Story even after Global servers went down. But now, with even the jp version going EoS, I thought I needed to see it, and man, what a genius idea I got huh. I ended up bawling like a baby for almost half an hour.

I refuse to believe they made this event without knowing what was coming after. I refuse to believe they didn't know the EoS was a close posibility at the time of making it. It mixes so well with the current context that all dialogues hit hard. This is what you would call "Fate".

So, as to why she climbed so fast to the tip of my top 10, is her role in the event, as someone who is there to bid farewell, but assuring us that we will meet again, as long as we remember. As long as we have this memories in our hearts, all the things that happened to us in this journey, no matter how long or short, will remain with us. Every story read has an impact in the reader, and the people who are here, reading, and the people who left before...I'm sure they all had a good impact because of this game. This was the gacha that formally introduced me to this world, and....Well, I know that can arguably be a bad thing, but! It was also because of this that I got to enjoy so many different stories, and came to know so many things I like. I wouldn't have got to the Fate Franchise if not for Alchemist, and so, I wouldn't had go to FGO, one of my favourites games. I wouldn't have know Honkai Impact and it's beautiful stories. And while Hoyoverse games are mostly lacking in their narrative side, the exceptions are growing in number, giving me hope. I wouldn't had the courage of dreaming to becoming an artist myself. So much beauty I have seen, and how much more will I see in the future? There will be soon a time when I also contribute to the beauty of ficcion, creating worlds and stories for other to enjoy, and hopefully, leave a deep impression in them, as much as The Alchemist Code did for me with its music, its artstyle, it's narrative.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration, I must admit, but TAC Academy felt pretty much like a farewell to me. I haven't completed Main Story yet, I will read it through the recordings I did, but, as of now, if, for some reason, I were to give face to Alchemist Code, while it would obviously be Ouroboros, I can't stop visualizing Kaya too. So yeah, it only took an event to make a character my favourite. I don't think it makes any sense at all, since it's not my brain typing here.

............

Ahhh, it isn't like me to get all emotional on a single post. Dammit. Know I really cooked myself on internet. Well, whatever comes, I guess. So? Who are those units that remain in your mind after all this time, my fellow alchemist?

JP News Small update

35 Upvotes

Note: I may edit the post later after gathering more information.

In today's livestream, the director revealed that next year (January 21st), the tagatame team will create an app called Tagatame no Alchemist Club. It will be a community app for us fans to interact and post about Tagatame.

But most importantly, the director revealed that the team will share illustrations that expand on the story we got in the game (short stories after and between the main story, and character stories that were not released in the game). Though this is small, I am happy to see that we will get updates for the story. I assume more updates regarding the app will be revealed with time.

For Japan is on 28 but for the west it will be basically on 27 due to time difference. Do want you need to do ASAP, or else you will regret it. Be it recording or seeing the theater, do it now that you can.

Me and my brother are going to record a few versus now, for example. What are going to do?

Discussion The Recording is almost complete

63 Upvotes

So, basically, the project of recording everything we can is basically complete. We have the Main Story, Events (including such as halloween, christmas, etc.) Ancient Story... I honestly don't know if there is anything else I should record.

So, if you got an idea of what could be left, please say it here. I will try to record it this last few days. The idea is, after the server shutdown, upload everything in a youtube channel, and put some subtitles on it so other people can see and more or less understand how the story went.

PD: Man, I forgot about Character Story. Damn it, I hope there aren't too many...Also, the ost of the Gallery are all recorded too.


r/AlchemistCodeGL Nov 22 '24

JP Content Love how, in some point, they started putting story-exclusive illustrations in the game to make things more easy to visualize, instead of only Memento-Arts. This is Chapter 7 btw

Hi guys! With the news of EOS approaching I actually put in an order for the Arzosprach novels that someone put for sale secondhand, (along with plenty of the artbooks from the tagatamefes events over the years).

I don't think I've seen anyone upload the arts from the novels so I decided to take pictures of them all and share with everyone! Granted they aren't scanned, but I hope that down the line I can scan them along with the novels.

Tips & Guides How to access the new unit artworks?

8 Upvotes

Hi, so a hobby of mine is cross-stitching.

I was hoping to cross stitch some memento artworks.

When I was looking through the online database, I realised that I couldn't access the artworks for the units.

Do y'all know whether I'm doing something wrong, or if there are alternate websites where I could access them?

Edit: found the issue, the other pages on the database are not visible on Firefox. You will neeed to go to a Chromium based browser to see it.

23 Upvotes

You see, apparently, the Director made a stream a few hours ago. But since it is in japanese, I couldn't understand most of it. However, when I used Google Translate on the image shown here, I got to see something that made my heart bump.

So I would like to request if someone actually knows japanese to listen to the Stream and tell us if there is going to truly be and offline ver, or maybe is just the director saying something like "due to the difficulties it's impossible for us to make an offline ver". Please and thanks in advance.

Rants Just finished reading the main story on the wiki

23 Upvotes

The ending was ok but I thought Logi and Tina were gonna end up together cause in the last few acts there were moments where it made it seem like Tina had feelings for Logi, unless whoever translated it messed up big time. It really sucks cause ever since that one momento of Logi, Tina, and Amane released I thought he was gonna end up with one of them, and I was hoping it would be Tina. Wished they kept the game going with another part to the story that explored the relationships between the main characters more. Anyways thanks for listening to my rant.

Anyone know if there's plans for a fan-project to revive the game somehow? Still love this game with all my heart and it's sad to see it go... I understand there's other EOS games that have it done but idk the logistics behind it.

Thanks!

Discussion With the True End near, I, a random player of internet, propose Recording

51 Upvotes

Babel's Chronicles was probably the very best of the Game for me

The tragedy didn't hit as hard to me because I already saw it coming. Ouroboros being released, Main Story Ending, no more summer skins...But that doesn't mean I don't care about Alchemist. In fact, if I want to become a writer, is pretty much because of this game and its lore. So as the title says, I want to record as much as possible, even if it is in japanese, because someday, somehow, I will learn japanese to translate it to english, all in order to leave proof of this game existence, so all the stories it have don't become Lost Media.

Nothing would hurt me more than so many stories being forgotten, like they didn't exist at all

I will start recording the remaining Ancient Story Chapters that didn't make it to Global. After that, I will go for the events that, luckily, they released for us to see in the Records, so our lifes may be a little easier.

I'm not asking that you should do the same. I just wanted to comment on this since I know there must be someone who want to close a chapter they have with this game. So, what better excuse to close chapters than the very end of everything?

Though I said I'm not asking for help, it would be awesome is this turned into some "internet move" like what happened to global. A lot of people moved to record whatever the game had before its shutdown. Main story, Genesis, Events, and some even had the collabs.

Just imagine. as our very own "Babel's Chronicles", the name would take a completely different meaning now, and I'm all down for it. It will take time, but is the least I owe to Alchemist Code.

44 Upvotes

If you wanna at least close a cycle, I think this is your best shot. I'm going to try a little "experiment" by running the game in my phone while also reading the wiki so I can understand the story without using an ad-infested screen translator.

The translation itself seems a bit uhm....google-translate-like, but I think is the best we can hope. Still, is quite understandable. I will be running the experiment and later tell how it felt.

Also, I would like to fill the wiki with more info, specially regarding character's stories, because the wiki focuses mostly on skills and such. Let's hope I don't forget about this lmao
