Please can all forum members who ply negima ps2 games post here.

I want to talk to someone who has played the negima ps2 games.

oh, the lad knows what he wants

i like that in a person :D

... although sadly, that probably didn't help

@SG hey, why don't you make a "hello i am" thread? (in the introductions section)

Sorry, I`ll introduce myself there.

Do you happen to play any of the Negima Ps2 games Windy-day? and do you know anyone else that does?

i never play any ps2 negima game , only game boy advance and ds XD

@SG no, and no. sorry!

@ledah: I have a Negima game on Nintendo DS too! ^_^

However, I never played a Negima game for PS2... :unsure:

I`ve finished both Negima ds games.
If you need any help(like unlocking gallery mode). just contact me

^You completed both games? Whoa! That's f~~king radical! :o

Well, so far I'm not having any problems with the game for now ^_^

I don't have a PS2, or a DS. I didn't know you could get the games in the UK though :P

I ordered them e-bay.
There is a shop in London where you can buy and order imported games but they sell them for like £60-£75.
In US dollars that would be about $90-$135

The problem was getting my PS2 to play imports. I had to spend £40 on a disc called "swap magic" to play imports.

So far the imported ps2 games I own are all 5(with negima white wing coming theres probably going to be a 6th) Negima games and the first zero no tsukaima game.


I plan on getting Love Hina Gorgeous Happening! for the PS2 during the summer.


Ryuugu_Rena, do you have one or both games.

When I say I beat both games I unlocked all of gallery mode, sound mode and story mode and all cosplay outfits.

To unlock CG pics for gallery mode:
In the first game you have to have your character equipped with their most powerful cosplay and have them die in battle to get their CG in gallery mode(this excludes Negi)

In the second game, have a group`s heart points at level 3 and at a hot spring(they`ll be in their towels). then blow into the microphone of the DS continuously to blow their towels away and there you have it.
It took me months to figure this out. Honestly who had that idea. You really need to blow without stopping once its more difficult than you think.

Sound mode:
In the first game you gotta make each character make all audio statements. In the main menu use the stylus and touch the girls breasts(who comes up with this stuff)
to make them say something like ecchi! or please stop!. be sure to get all possible responses.
Also make every character use every cosplay in battle.
After you beat story mode once an special extra will be unlocked in the omake, win voices in it.

In the second game just beat the sory once and its done, easier than thanthe first game.

If you`re wondering whether I can read japanese or not, the answer is no.

I have watched alot of anime and learning to speak abit of the language and I know about 5 japanese characters.

To answer the maze questionaires in the first game. I had to memorize the the shapes of the answers and wrote about 2 and half pages of japanese. It drove ne NUTS for days. The benefit of this is to unlock cosplay outfits.

2nd game you can just save before doing anything and is alot easier to do.

I have both DS games too, couldn't get myself to finish them, though atleast the 2nd is bareable. Though I did complete the 1st GBA game.

I do however own all 4 PS2 games, and the Wii game (only for the Konoka card, so I could have all 3 of her's)

The first two PS2 games are great. Some pretty ecchi fanservice (always good).

3rd game was that beach vacation/contest thing, which was pretty odd, but not TOO bad.

4th (and 3rd in the normal series) is where it got horrible. You can tell they released this one just to milk it. No longer the usual "dating sim", but turned into a pretty bad action game. Also it could be completed in like 3 hours, and had like... no art screens, none that I could unlock anyway.

Actually, I just remembered that the Dream Tactics game exists, and I only got that for the Chachamaru card, and also because you could choose Zazie as the main character, which was pretty funny.

The only one I've played is the Dream Tactics ones.

Pretty funny for a tactics style game.

I did play Negima: Kagai Jugyou (that game with the 3-A girls in swimsuits...). There are some minigames I understand, but others require reading the Japanese (which I can't even read. Sometimes I guess...)

Thats why you have to memorize the characters to get the right answers pheeph.


Maverick-jin8, in the second game do you know how to change a character`s attribute?
I have to know how to, to unlock the other CG`s.

Maverick-jin8? hello? Its been 5 months since this thread was active.

Esperman, lets continue here since the Jinkame 1 thread has gone astray.
I wouldnt say that I`m a master of the negima PS2 games. But I probably have the most expierence out of this entire forum.

Excuse me, SG.
It seems you're good one that I can ask. Can you list all Negima game?
Just borrow PS2 from my friend, I want to try some game :)

In chronological order:

Negima Jinkame 1:
http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SLPM-65871.html

Negima Jinkame 2:
http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SLPM-66062.html

Negima dokidoki beachside:

Negima Jinkame 3:
http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/VW332-J1.html

Negima Dream Tactics:
http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SLPM-66704.html

I own all special edition version of the games.
The special editions come with a mahora girls drama cd.
Each game`s drama cd has a volume number on it.
Example:
Dream tactics has mahora girls vol.5.

This leads to the theory of future negima games for the PS2.

Lets hope Ala alba will make a 6th game appear.

And thus, which is why I dub thee, master of the Negima games of AQS...

Also, to keep on topic, what would you say is the hardest part of the games minus having to understand Japanese and answering questions and such?

Gosh thanks.
Ok here are the hardest bits in all 5 games in my opinion besides the japanese text.

Jinkame 1:
Baka rangers!!!!!!!!!! They are so so dumb. you have to spend hours teaching those stupid clowns until they pass the final exam.
Trust me they are so dumb they`ll drive you up the wall.

Also the tag fight with Evangeline and Chachamaru.
It is freakishly annoying. You have to fight Evangeline but just like the manga Chachamaru keeps flicking you on the fore-head so its hard to do spells.
Asuna`s no help either she doesnt attack she dodges terribly.
Oh if either you or Asuna`s health goes zero you lose.

THESE 5 ARE IDIOTS!!!!!!!:
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420214938.jpg

Jinkame 2:
The attribute system.
Apparently you can change the attribute of the girls around the campus. such as shy, aggresive,etc.
Some CG`s can only be gained by making a certain character a certain attribute.
I have failed to get any and I still have no idea how this system works.
So if any of you do know, Please tell me.
Heres Asuna`s attribute CG(I WANT IT!!!!!!):
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420221316.jpg

Also, Dark Negi makes his exclusive game appearance here, and he is the final boss of the game.
Here is his first appearance in the game:
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420232501.jpg

Doki beachside:
In all honesty, the only difficult bit is the quizes.
Esperman, heres 2 nice CG`s from this game:
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420233854.jpg
and
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420234000.jpg

Jinkame 3:
In the chinese restaurant story, you have to make sure to get EVERY ingrediant. Otherwise you will not progress through the game.

Dream tactics:
When you go through the story the first time, since you dont have the customations to make your girls strong(that sonded kinda ecchi.LOL).
Also knowing which actions on which girls on which level will get their CG`s.

But mainly, the final CG, I still dont know how to get it. Heres a picture of it:
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80421002240.jpg

If any of you knowhow to get it please tell me.

That's why they are the baka rangers...

Though I assume the fact that the game is entirely in Japanese, that'll make teaching them harder...

Only if you could hack the game and make their smartness like Chao's... (Or even higher...)

Haha, the first one actually makes Kagurazaka look like she actually likes it when Springfield touches that area...

How do the customizations power up the classmates?

Do the customizations have a boosting effect on their stats like the cosplays do in the DS games?

Not at all, once you know what does what, its fine. I understand how to teach them.
The problem is them themselves.


Kind of, You assign different weapons and accesories to the girls.
This either increases or decreases:
Attack
Defence
Speed of dodgeing an enemy`s attack
Chance of landing a hit on an enemy
How many movement spaces you can move.

Unfortuneately the game doesnt have a good system of this.
When you get enough. Attack is great, defence is bad.

^I see...

Is the defense stat of the classmates bad in general or what?

BTW, how do each of the classmates size up in stats? (Like is there a variety on what stats certain girls excel at or what?)

I mean, it was kinda like that in the DS games where you got McDowell who had the best attack stat but was average in every other stat and defense for Karakuri and so forth...

Also, thanks for all the info...

Your welcome.
And yes it does vary between them.
Example:
No matter how you customize Nodoka she`ll be weak.
Mana, Kaede and Setsuna, Kufei have amazing abilities.
Eva is weak physically but magical attack is capable of taking out multiple enmies at once.

Weak or strong, all of them have several special abilities to make up for their weaknesses in the game.
One of Takane`s abilities lets her walk on water.
Hane-Setsuna(Winged Setsuna) can use lightning spells.
Sayo-chan can automatically make herself temporally untouchable by enemies but is weak. Plus she can move great distances.
Chachamaru has her classic rocket punch.
Konoka, Chizuru and Ako can heal themselves and others.
Narutaki twins can temporally increase their attack and evasion.
Kufei has some sort of chinese critical, she takes out over 80% of one enemy`s health,even if its a boss.
Kaede has a giant shuriken attack that attacks enemys in a straight line.
Mana has guns.


And many more.

Not a surprise, though in the DS games, she grew her resistance to paralysis and poison (Especially poison...) a lot higher than people who grew them mediocrely...

Her HP was higher than most people's though...

Again, not a surprise...

They grew their attack stat higher than most people in the DS games (Minus McDowell...) as well as their defense stats... (And they could even attack enemies up to three squares ahead of them...)

The only downside was that as combat-heavy characters, how far they could move was not as much as some characters...

This is a surprise because she grew the attack stat in the DS games higher than any other character in the game... (Although every other stat was totally mediocre...)

Though she also had a built in ability that allowed her to damage enemies (For 100 HP each, I think...) within a two square radius of her...

Too bad she wasn't playable in the DS games (And she even had a crappy support boost... +5 SP gain to the character she was partnered with...) though I heard that her defense stat was crazy in the tactics game because of the fact she was a ghost... (Though I think they also emphasized her attack stat suffered because of that...)

Nice, she also had the same attack as one of her special cosplay cards...

She was the wall of the DS games growing the defense stat higher than anyone else, but the rest of her stats were mediocre...

Konoe had the same ability as the support character in the DS games healing 10% of her active character's max HP at the beginning of her active partner's turn...

Izumi had the same ability being able to give her active character the ability to heal one person (Within a 3-square radius...) for 300 HP, for 20 SP...

Naba, on the other hand, gave her active partner full immunity (Basically raised the paralysis immunity stat to 100%, no questions asked...) to attacks that may cause paralysis on her active partner...

Izumi and Naba weren't playable, but Konoe was the SP master of the game growing the stat of how much SP she gains at the beginning of her turn higher than any other character... (She also grew her immunity stats higher than most characters...)

If only they had this feature in the DS games...

The older Narutaki's main attribute is that she grew her movement points (How far she can move during her turn...) faster than any other character in the game... (Also, she grew her agility stat higher than most characters...)

The younger Narutaki wasn't playable but her, and her older sister, gave their active partners +1 to movement points during their turn...

That's pretty crazy...

Her armor/cosplay/suka cosplay card could do an assload of damage when you have 75 SP and can use the armor effect of that card... (By pressing the L button...)

Plus it looked cool... (Kinda looked like an uber hadoken or actually one of Chun Li's kou-ken supers...)

Coincidentally, the thing Kuu says before she gets into that attack is similiar to what Chun Li says when she does the same super in the MvC series...

It would have been nice if she had the same attribute in the DS games...

Her daishuriken is part of an attack featured within one of her special cosplay cards, but that's about it...

Just like the DS games... (And all of her special cosplay cards feature her either using her guns or sniper rifle...)

All of which can do crazy damage...

So, what's special about Rainyday in the tactics game?

Unfortunately, she gets screwed over in the DS game as a non-playable character where her support effect is that she gives her active partner a +10% boost to their attack stat rounded down... (Should have been +20% IMO...)

Zazie is pretty interesting in tactics.
I used her alot in the first few levels.
She has 2 specials:
1)To freeze an enemy from any movement or attack for one turn.
2)She uses her hollow summons to attack.

Oh I`m not new to the 2 DS games either. I HATE BEING PARALYZED IN THE DS GAME!!!!!
Chizuru my most preferable support.
I`ve beaten both DS games. Ok I havent gotton Evangeline and Chachamaru`s CG in the second game. I`ll get to that eventually.

I`m so glad that even though Jinkame 3, dream tactics and the 2 DS games have the !? in their title. its art and story are closer to Akamatsu`s manga than the Negima!? anime.
Except for the second DS game. Well Takahata does use his Iai-ken which is pretty cool.

Man, why couldn't she be playable in the second DS game?!

Oh man, the ghosts in the second game (Especially the purple ones...) are especially annoying because of the paralysis attacks...

For those levels, I tried my best to keep all my characters at least 95% immune to paralysis (And poison as well...) attacks...

I've beaten the second one but not the first...

The first one is FAR more inferior to the second one because of its insane difficulty...

Basically since you can't block and there's actually more than three bosses in the first game compared to the second game...

I used a "trick" to get three hearts for each of the groups...

Basically, if I got the question wrong, I just reset and choose another answer until I get it right...

If you get the questions but you answer with all three choices but don't get an extra heart, try talking to the other groups to see if you won them over with the question you answered in another group...

I remember the first question Izumi and Akashi asks you and for all the answers I chose, they didn't give me a heart...

So I tried talking to the other groups to see if anything would change...

Apparently, choosing the "right" question in that Izumi/Akashi question would give you a new dialogue with Chao and Hakase... (Giving you a heart for them...)

This may be key to winning three hearts for Karakuri and McDowell... (Which will, in turn, give you the chance to get their CG's...)

Before my game fuhked up the first time, I managed to get all three hearts for Karakuri and McDowell on my second run... (I think one of the situations may have been where I answered a question from another group and that triggered a new dialogue with Karakuri and McDowell giving me their third heart...)

I never got to see his attacks...

I always defeated him before he gets a chance to attack... (His stage is the easiest out of the three, while the second stage is the hardest...)

The golem wasn't that hard... (For the first time I took him on, I was actually able to get his attacking pattern down...)

Thats true.
I did try getting Eva/chacha`s CG but failed.
I remember you have to talk to Asuna`s group first then talk to Eva`s to get the first heart for Eva`s group.

As for your advice. How many times do you think I`ve done that, not just the DS but the PS2`s as well.
I`m allways going to get a few wrong answers.

I didn't know the PS2 worked on that feature as well...

But eh, I found that out recently myself in a recent run through of the DS game...

I don't know about the PS2 game, but I know all of the questions have a "right" answer that would allow you to earn hearts on at least one group of girls...

If the group isn't on the screen, then you're out of luck, but the next time they appear, they may give you a heart...

For example, when you talk to Kagurazaka's group, she says something concering the three letters "UMA"... (In that order...)

I remember another group asks you a question about it, and "UMA" is one of the choices...

I chose that one, but Kagurazaka's group wasn't on the screen at the time... (So, I went into the next battle...)

Afterwards, her group did appear... (I talked to her group and they gave me a heart...)

I forgot to mention in dream tactics. Negi calls Evangeline Master.

^That's good...

That makes it more accurate to the manga whereas he has never called McDowell "master" in any of the other franchises including all anime, spin-off manga, and game franchises... (Minus this one of course...)

Trust me the PS2 games stick to the manga than the anime does(excludingala alba of course).

I mentioned before that Jinkame 1 covers the first arc(first 3 vols)
The seiyuu`s cover scenes such as when Negi gets the letter about if he fails he gets kicked out and Yuuna and Sakurako are curious about the letter.
Chachamaru feeding the cats.
etc.

I find it nice how Jinkame 1 and Jinkame 2 have the 30 girls(Sayo-chan doesnt have a model.sob) can be found at specific points of Mahora. They do leave that point at times but still.
Nodoka and Haruna can be found at the library
Cheerleader trio and Yuuna are in the gym
Evangeline and Chachamaru are at the cafe
Zazie and Mana are on the roof
Ako is in the Nurse`s office.
Chao and Hakase are in the 2A classroom
Kaede, Chisame and Narutaki twins are found near the World tree
Chizuru tends to be in Gazebo path
Misora, Setsuna and Akira are next to the church.

So yeah the games themselves are more loyal to the manga even if it does have some original stories like Dark Nodoka, Chachamaru`s explosion, Makie`s curse, Kazumi ordering you measure the breasts of everyone, Chisame`s stalker, Kaede helping you get rid of Evangeline`s goons at night etc.

It still feels like an Akamatsu story. And those are just a few original stories from Jinkame 1, the first of 5 games so far.

That's why you need to pick Kaede for the last fight.

She's a super shield, takes very little damage and very good at getting the duo to attack her and not you.

Of course you still need to be able to cast attack spells fast and flawlessly to win.

>Oh I`m not new to the 2 DS games either. I HATE BEING PARALYZED IN THE DS >GAME!!!!!


Schoolgirl Machinegunner.

+40% Poison and Paralysis resist.

Nurse

+25% Poison & Paralysis resist.

Combine with some leveling up and you should hit 100% immunity fairly quick.

Tenguphule I`m not talking about the fight at library island, I`m talking about the fight at the bridge.

I`m almost done a second run of the game and I just noticed that Evangeline really weak against lightning arrows.

I mentioned I had these problems with Jinkame 1:

1)How to control the Evangeline and Chachamaru events. The first run I started Chachamaru and failed. the rest of my runs were allways Evangeline.

2)Why the Setsuna with bade at throat CG wont get saved in gallery.

3)strategy tips on how to pick the baka ranger group at library island arc.


Well I finally mastered the baka ranger selection, so if I want to finish the game by getting the other 50+ library island CG`s I could do it with no trouble.

Now I have a problem with these two:
1)How to control the Evangeline and Chachamaru events. The first run I started Chachamaru and failed. the rest of my runs were allways Evangeline.

2)Why the Setsuna with bade at throat CG wont get saved in gallery.


When I first played the game I managed to start Chachamaru`s event, but from the second and onwards it was allways Evangeline`s and I couldnt get back to Chachamaru so I had to start over from sctratch.
I managed to start the Chachamaru event and complete it, I`ve yet to see if my second run will have Evangeline.
I checked my status when I started Chachamaru.
I had less than 50,000 Trust points and I had not completed my spell list.


The Setsuna CG still doesnt show in the gallery for some stupid reason, Do you know why Tenguphule?

Also how do you get the CG where the magic book is open and has writing on it? I cant seem to make it appear in the game no matter what I do.

Its nice to have someone here who`s played it.
I never knew that the girls had fighting abilities in Jinkame 1, I allways assumed they just dodged and were only there to try to get Chachamaru away from you.

Also thanks for the DS tip.

>The Setsuna CG still doesnt show in the gallery for some stupid reason

Sorry, dunno. I'm still trying to unlock all the CG too.

>I never knew that the girls had fighting abilities in Jinkame 1, I allways assumed they just dodged and were only there to try to get Chachamaru away from you.

I found it out by accident, I kept losing with Asuna or the other Bakas so I tried Kaede for the final boss battle.

She blocks Eva and gets in Chachamaru's way if she's close enough, game's AI seems to have her as a priority target so you can get spells without being attacked. She has a dodge and block that stops 90% of the damage, which means even without shield magic she's a tank.

I still like the second game's battling better, at least you can do kung fu combos in addition to magic. Though last classroom battle in Jikanme 2 was insane, having to free the entire class while they're attacking you in a cramped classrom and you can't knock out their lifebars without losing. So much rolling and running away! >_< But at least the girls you free help you against the others.

Thats true. I found that so fun, having to fight all your students.LOL.
And yeah the battle system in Jinkame 2 was way better, you could punch the enemies away to avoid being ganged up on.
Also your spell count can be increased by experience.
What is the point of making every stand 100%?


So you have Jinkame 2 Tenguphule. Do you know about the attribute system and how you can unlock some CG`s by making a character a certain attribute?

This is a CG gained in Jinkame 2 when you make Asuna`s attribute "chancy"(I think thats the translation):
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420221316.jpg


And for random fun, heres a CG from the dokidoki beachside game:
http://blog-imgs-21.fc2.com/c/a/r/cartoonw...80420234047.jpg

I have every Negima game except the Wii game.

I've gotten stuck with one girl on Jikanme 2, I keep getting the cheerleader (Misa) at the end, think maybe her affection is too maxed. I can't seem to get anyone else, no matter how much points I get.

And first roller game is pain, still haven't beaten the breast smother roller yet (thumbs get too sore trying to circle the sticks).

I haven't tried the attribute system, mainly I've been trying to unlock quests and stories (and enjoying the love-love spell to attract hordes of girls).

>What is the point of making every stand 100%?

I think it unlocks something new, I've never been able to finish them all yet though. Always have one left on the last day (stupid game AI). I know you can lead some girls by taking their hand and they will work on them, but lots of times they wander away next day.

As for Dokidoki, I've gone through the game twice so far, I hate that training with the balancing and trying to lambada under the poles, would you know what's the controls for that mini-game when you try to keep the two weights balanced as you go under the pole?

I have managed to make all stands 100%(with extreme frustration) but it doesnt seem to do anything.

So you dont know about the attribute system either,sigh.

About the minigames, Have you noticed how you have to put more effort with the sticks in Jinkame 1?

Let me give you a tip on rotating.
Use your entire palm to rotate both sticks, you go much faster and its much less tiring.

As for dokidoki, Which mini-game are you talking about?
OMG, you reminded me of those damn Slide puzzles!


With blood, sweat and risk of sanity I have found which attributes you need for which character to get attribute CG in Jinkame 2.
I`ll have them up here in a few hours from when I posted this statement.
And trust me its complicated.

http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl...%3Doff%26sa%3DG

Look in the attribute list section, near the bottom of the page in that section.

>As for dokidoki, Which mini-game are you talking about?

It's one of the stat building trainings you do between the contests.

First part is a weight that drops, have to press a button before it falls off the screen.

The second half is like a balance game, two weights on either side, you fail if one side becomes unbalanced and they fall off.

No idea what controls what in the second part.
