@3303:
There is a bed and a shop in the master stadium, so you can heal before you enter the stadium proper. I would still recommend bringing at least 6 max UP restoratives, though. Plenty of mighty/master herbs and medical miracles, too. Heal and use the restoratives right before the stadium master fight, so your team is ready to go.

In the interest of giving back since you guys have been so helpful, and because I know some people really really struggle with the music puzzles, here's a spoiler for ascendant's path f5.

Right after you take the stairs up, after the first tamer, it's music notes time again. I assume the puzzle is always the same, so for those of you who can't distinguish the tones, assuming the far right is 1 and the far left is 5, the sequence is
4 3 5 1 2
Sorry I don't have the others. I didn't think to write them down since I'm a singer and, well, we kind of have to be able to at least match notes, even if we don't have perfect pitch, which I don't sadly. I'll be writing them down as I come across them now, though.

Okay WTF, now I"m on ascendant's path f5, have gotten past the part I spoiled earlier, and now all I can find is a room. Hm, should spoil the rest, probably...

Anyway, I got the rocks out of the way, but now I'm wandering all over this room and there's nothing there that I can find. I've followed walls, gone out in the middle of sections, nothing. I probably missed something dumb but I can't figure out what it is. Of course, now that I've posted this I'll probably find it, although we do have to leave soon.

now i am about to tackle one of the last 3 stadiums. probably the one you can get to from the paninsula wilds first. I hope that one is not to hard lol. fighting augma was a long and drawn out thing. also when do you get to catch the cow mythical? and when do you use a gama net and do you get any more?

"This patch fixes bugs reported by players"

Mind blown, guys. Bugs reported by players. How many bugs? Which bugs? Did said bugs even exist? There are a couple of bugs I've experienced that others have reported, and to date, all are still present. They're not game-wrecking, but as of 1.3.1 they still existed. I haven't actually installed 1.3.2 because quite frankly I'm getting sketchy feelings about what is and is not being reported.

See, this is why change logs ought to be more detailed than this.

Aaron, if you want your game to be treated like the equivalent of a  AAA title, then you really should try not to shoot yourself in the foot this way. Most AAA titles have better feedback than this when patches are released. Most people, I'd warrant, expect more transparency than this in their change logs when they shell out forty bucks for a program. Why am I harping on this? Because you have known this for three and a half years, and for reasons I can't fathom, you won't budge on it. It's just "I don't want to spoil" or "not every company releases detailed notes about every bug". Tell you what. You show me some examples, if you're willing, of AAA games being as vague as you, demonstrate that it's enough of a norm that you're justified in what you're doing, and I'll happily eat my words, offer a public apology and shut up.

For clarity's sake, this is about the detail I'd hope for in a change log (I am totally making up some of the following bugs, folks):

Version 1.3.2
Fixed a bug where walls would stop displaying wall tones under certain scenarios during the story
Fixed a bug where screenreaders were clipping off menu options after playing minigames in the music hall
Added some more detail to an NPC's dialogue in a certain swamp regarding manamon who transform by walking around
Added a new NPC trade; here there be dragons
Added a teleporter in the catacombs which unlocks after beating the game to improve quality of life
Various spelling, grammar and tense fixes of the script
Switching from box to box too quickly will no longer crash your game
Due to player feedback, there is now a line of explanatory dialogue at a particular point in the story to explain what you have to do next
Scorch damage has been toned down from 1/6 to 1/8
Toxic Tail's accuracy has been increased to 95%
Night Stick is now a special move
Erratic Battler now has the manamon start at +3 stages of all of its stats instead of +1

maybe just add cheat countermeasure.

since no one answer me yet i would ask again
because i search it and no result were found about passing this floor
how do you did manage to pass ascendence path f8 whatever i try it keep put me back to ascendence path f7
so i need at least some direction to passing f8
i press switch all of the room if it help a bit

@grryfindore:

I personally think the tone towards Aaron has already settled down quite a bit. I mean even back when people were much more agressive in their comments they usually had a good point. Manamon 2 is a big step for vgstorm and a great achievement for the audiogame market, yes. But it still has major flaws that need to be discussed and also need to be reflected back towards Aaron. If the market doesn't react to the products they won't change.
And at least I wish there would be major changes to a potential Manamon 3 or other game from VGStorm. Also for developers not called Aaron it might be interessting to see what players dislike about games so to adjust their products accordingly. For as much as a game is a developers personal child it's also usually programmed for a certain audience.

So tldr:
I think the level of criticism is about right and generally helpful. And I also think it is important to at least correctly spell peoples names.

I agree, personally. The vague changelogs are starting to bother me at this point, generally these days in at least the mainstream scene, you get a general summary too... but underneath that is all the good stuff, actually listed and detailed information. In new fighters especially, the exact numbers for frame data are even sorted by character, with old and new numbers. Like that by itself definitely isn't essential, but if I'm shelling out 50 dollars for a game, I at least would like to know what's being changed in patches past "fixed some stuff".

Artisoul is catchable in several areas. Check your manapedia.

Yakshine is a gift manamon. Have a look in a cave near a city with a power plant. Be prepared to find a stony dragon.

Stony dragon thing is rare. Just keep working on it.
You have a pocket copter so backtracking is not a problem.

There is one other place Artisoul can be found, if you don't want to go back through Ascendence Path. Here's a hint: Sulee City. Go west, climb a tree, swim, end up on a battlefield.

@Dark:

Turning off battle cries, is that possible? Think there is only an option to turn off attack sounds but if there is a hack/trick around to also turn off battle cries I'd be superglad to hear. Listening to the battle cries all over again takes half of the time when grinding.
