Trace Memory (Another Code: Two Memories)

Yossy · March 26, 2006, 04:45:32 PM

So, I just picked up Trace Memory for the Nintendo DS. This is a game I've had my eye on since I first read its previews. (Its previous title was simply "Another.") Just wondering if there was anyone else here who has played it, and if you enjoyed it or not and whatnot. I've also cleared to game (my playtime was 4 hours and 30 mins), so if anybody needs help with the puzzles or just any misc. info, that's what this thread is for.

My question: are there any bonuses if you play through the game a second time with cleared data?

If you got the good ending,you'll get the ''Starred Game'',which is the same
game but with minor changes to some scenarios,and if you play the starred
game again,and get the good ending again,you'll get a surprise puzzle at the end of the credits

I heard that game was way too short. So I didn't buy it.

My friend got it, 2 days later he trades it in.

But it's really, really cool. Just because it's short doesn't mean its bad. Look at how many RPG Maker games exist that can be cleared within five hours but are still extremely entertaining.

Thanks! What "minor changes" are there, if I may ask? What is the difference between the "good ending" and normal ending? I would assume the good ending is obtained by saying Richard did not murder Sayoko, and the bad ending would be seen if you side against him. By the way, your Shadow avatar is hot soup! It's nice to see there are people who have played Final Fantasy games before they became abhorrently popular.

That's... uh... great and stuff, but... have you any comments concerning Trace Memory?

Drago_falco · March 28, 2006, 01:30:58 AM

No,it's not of the conversation at the encounter with Bill,it's at
the epilogue,where you say good bye to D, if you touched his hand to let
him go,you got the GOOD ending,but if not,you got the normal ending.
You're right,I got FF3(because that was it's name when it came out to
the SNES), and it's AWESOME!

:roll:

Let's stay on topic please.

Halo's so polite! He said "please." That means we must obey him.

Really? So, what happens if you say Richard killed Sayoko? Does he get shot by Bill? Or does that game go all like "No, that isn't right..." and ask you the question again... I hate that! If it gives you the opprotunity to branch the story and ending, it should go with it! Instead of forcing you to pick the answer that continues the story...

Drago_falco · March 28, 2006, 08:59:15 PM

No,Richard NEVER gets shot,even if you tell him the wrong answer,
Ashley will correct herself,in the final question,if you tell him the wrong
answer,she will say 'No,something is wrong...' or something like that.
But did you get the good ending?

Yossy · March 29, 2006, 11:34:11 PM

Yes, I did! My brother played through the game and got a bad ending, because D said something like "I still haven't recovered all of my memories..." and Ashley goes "I wonder how long his soul will be imprisoned here..." So, I guess he skipped some of the puzzles. I was playing through my cleared data and found one of the differences: when you look through the zoetrope and watch the animation of the bird, Ashley would normally say "There is a bird flitting through the branches," but in the cleared data she says "There was a ninja leaping through the trees!" and D goes "What's a ninja?" I found it quite humorous.

That's great! :wink: But know you have to pass the Starred Game
again...(that's so annoying :x !)

Yossy · March 31, 2006, 01:20:53 AM

Why? What do you get when you clear the starred game?

Drago_falco · March 31, 2006, 01:52:27 AM

You get an extra puzzle at the end of the credits

dragonmagna · April 01, 2006, 01:45:56 AM

And that puzzle is/does?
