My Shops

Back to School... Now I'm in 8th grade and 2 months again is my birthday. Now I will review games again... Not a new Harvest Moon or Rune Factory, but the Facebook Games My Shops! Currently, I'm in Level 59 and wanted to unlock all the shops (currently I'm unlocking Bakery, Cake Shop, Pet Shop, Clothes Shop, Candy Shop, Hat Shop, Florist, Shoe Store and Electronics), but due of my Internet Connection few months ago, I stop playing it. But don't worry! I will play it again if I have a chance to play it, and I found out when I start out again the deleted game, it returns to the saved file before I delete it, the cons only all my stocks sold out (really alike Story series by TeamLava, don't you agree?).

Anyway,

Orders... I prefer instant one but it will cost cash.

At first, you can only unlock Bakery, and some tutorial. But as you go on, receive XP, you can unlock more shops and costumers. If you not yet playing My Shops, I will give you some little guide:

Shops
Important: 

Yes! My level was high enough for me to build Shoe Store!

• You can only unlock 1 Shop once you reach specific Level (ex: You have reach Level 7 and you have a choice to build Pet Shop, Clothes Store, and Candy Shop. If you choose Pet Shop, then you must build another two once you reach Level 10 and 15). So, in my theory, you must wait until you reach another Level (10, 15, 30, 40, 75). 
• If I say "Its the same as", then I'll say the Level you need to unlock, the cost and the time to build the shop is the same. The differences are just costumers.
• Difficulty were vary depending by cost of goods-exclusive on Beauty, Goods in the shop that will unlocked and upgraded, love needed to delight costumers, etc. As the Difficulty goes up, those things explained will increases, and vice versa.
• Be careful of Advanced and Expert Difficulty Shop (Hat Shop, Florist, Shoe Store, Electronics, Jewelry), some shop-exclusive like Ads, Signs, Shop Window and things that related to some shop and coins required to upgrade Goods requires either hundred thousand or million amount of coins. So don't waste your money only for buying that for increase Beauty. Only do that when you're ready.

1. Bakery: You can unlock it during tutorial. Cost 5.000 Coins and 5 second to build it. Will unlock Nice People.
2. Cake Shop: Will unlock once you reach Level 4. Cost 10.000 Coins and 1 minute to build it. Will unlock Upper Class.
3. Pet Shop: Will unlock once you reach Level 7. Cost 125.000 Coins and 1 hour to build it. Will unlock Globetrotters.
4. Clothes Shop: Its the same as Pet Shop. Will unlock Crazy Dudes.
5. Candy Shop: Its the same as Pet Shop. Will unlock Geeks.
6. Hat Shop: Will unlock once you reach Level 20. Cost 2.000.000 Coins and 12 hour to build it. Will unlock Monsters.
7. Florist: Its the same as Hat Shop. Will unlock Farmers.
8. Shoe Store: Its the same as Hat Shop. Will unlock Champions.
9. Electronics: Will unlock once you reach Level 55. Cost 10.000.000 Coins and 1 day (24 hour) to build it. Will unlock Sci-Fi.
10. Jewelry: Its the same as Electronics Store. Will unlock Fairy Tales.

Who is the unlocked costumer?

Anyway, comes to my specific review. The costumers sometimes needs Beauty Level of the Shops that can be done by costumizing the shop and upgrading the size of the shop. If the things has already sold out (has a red circle on the top of the shop),  the costumer will get angry, so click Goods and deliver some goods (don't send too much or the notification "The vechile is full!" or "The stock is full!" will occur)! Usually, delivery takes a real time, so be patient. If you have enough coins, you can unlock more remarkable stuff to order. Of course, you need to pay for them using your real money. 

When customers have bought the goods they want, you are able to collect love upon their heads. As a result, customers level up to add new purchase demand (Ex: The max heart Little Paris who usually buy Bagel will buy Bread) as well as unlock new customers (Ex 2: Max heart Billy Gin and max heart Angelina Pretty will unlock Granny Doubtfire, see above).

Congrats! Completing one of the collection gets you reward!

Sometimes, customers drop collectible items which can be collected trade in collections for large amounts of coins, experience, love and exclusive decorations. Furthermore, the rush hour in My Shops makes you to earn coins swiftly by clicking the full rush meter. When happy customers reach the required amount, all of them will rush into the shop and purchase the goods with a considerable quantity.

Beauty is needed for sastify costumer. Use it stragically because it needs coins!

In the Beauty option, as mentioned, you can customize your shop to attract more costumers. If you want a bigger shop, you can click on the Size to upgrade your Shop. Make sure you have enough Coins. 

My Phone. Parody of iPhone?

One of interesting parts is you can use a virtual iPhone (usually for menu) to call the ingame guide to do missions, which is similar to MMORPG where you can find a NPC to perform a quest. You can find different persons to assign your missions. In the menu, you can get different options: 

1. Store: To buy instantly Love Pack and Energy Pack if you have enough Cash 
2. Call: To dial a secret phone number, updates every week or month
3. Photos: To take a snapshots to share it to your friends
4. Lottery: Minigames that you can only play once a day and the reward is a multiple coins depending of your Daily Rank, you can play it again though but you need 5 Cash
5. Thropies: To show all the thropies you obtain so far
6. Report: To show your daily rank, coins revenue, and happy costumers
7. Statistic: To show what result per week you obtain in the table
8. Missions: To show all the uncompleted missions 
9. Shops: To show all the shops you unlock or still be locked
10. Oh, the new feature that was appear a while ago is Job List, is when you can show your rank of each job you obtain by cleaning, painting, etc. But it costs energy (shown in blue bar above love bar), so pay attention how much energy you have left (usually refills 1 energy every 10 minutes)

Pay attention... 1 minute 52 seconds remaining until delivery...

But unfortunately, if we help a neighbor sends materials to upgrade Truck or Goods later we can only XP and Coins, it's good if we send the material and we get the same material if only XP and Coins. Everyday can only send 26 gift, but we can help someone for the trouble because we need some things required for upgrade Goods or Truck.

Upgrading things at Factory is good to decrease the time, but it will increase the delivery cost and some needs ingredients to ask your friend like above picture.

Like all Facebook Games, we'll still able to multiply the neighbor so we can get a lot of coins and love. You can catch robbers, finding the crate, refill the stocks, and cleaning the neighboor's street in neighbour's street. You can find an active player let his friend can help us again later for upgrading trucks and goods. This game is refreshed every 2 PM usually (in Jakarta, Indonesia time), so we can visit the neighbors again.

The most lucky thing... getting coins as you're offline!

So, in overall, My Shops is a very fun game where you can obtain coins even when you're offline. The loading isn't long so you don't need to worry (except Internet Explorer users, for real). Yeah, this all above is still a small review, so I'll come again to give more updates once I'm playing further more. For you who wants to spend time and loves simulation game like me, I recommend you playing this game (Facebook users only).

Yellow Heroine in Pretty Cure Series

Now we have the list of all Yellow theme Heroine in Pretty Cure in this post (Shiny Luminous isn't included in this category even though her theme is light and has yellow pigtails, she's inserted into non-leader Pink Heroine because of her cloth, sorry for you who wants to insert Luminous to this category, though I still recongnize her as both Yellow and Pink Heroine). Enjoy!

Characteristic of Yellow Heroine:

• Has yellow hair and pigtails (except Cure Bright, Cure Pine, Cure Muse, Cure Peace and Cure Rosetta), but yellow hair and pigtail is not mean they are Yellow Heroine, the other color Cure that have both (or one) of these are,

1. Shiny Luminous, but she is non-leader from Max Heart.
2. Cure Peach also has this too, but Pink Heroine. Cure Heart also do the same, but not pigtails.
3. Both Cure Melody and Cure Happy has pigtails but not yellow hair, Pink Heroine.
4. Cure Rhythm also has yellow hair but pigtails, and she is one of the White Heroine.

• Their attack involves light (Shiny Luminous has this too, but Cure Pine, also Cure Muse and Cure Peace; Cure Happy in Pink Heroine involves this element)
• Has bloomers in each Cures' clothes. To understand, let me post the bloomer comes to each Yellow  Cure's outfit (thanks, kokoda_koji!).

1. Cure Lemonade (GoGo outfit), Cure Sunshine, Cure Peace, Cure Rosetta, and Cure Honey have bloomer in their sleeves.
2. Cure Pine has bloomer in her arm band.
3. Cure Muse gets her bloomer in her skirt.

• For Cure Sunshine, Cure Muse, Cure Rosetta and Cure Honey, they are the Yellow Cure who have the most dramatic hair-length changing (from short hair to long hair) after transforming.

Rune Factory 4

Your happy news for you. Rune Factory 4 (ルーンファクトリー4 Rūn Fakutorī 4) is a simulation/role-playing video game developed by Neverland Co. and published by Marvelous Entertainment for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console. It was announced in Famitsu on June 29, 2011 and will be released later in Spring 2012 (previously late 2011). It is the sixth game in the Rune Factory series, and the first to be released on the 3DS. Will English version will use the subtitle "A Fantasy Harvest Moon" in this title again? Let's see later on.

Like Tides of Destiny, there are 2 main character as usual, Lest (male, top;) and Frey (female, bottom). But unlike Tides of Destiny, at the start of the game, you can choose either of them. (I prefer Frey more than Lest because she is female) Anyway, Let's go to the story section.

The story's setting in the kingdom of Selfia, the protagonist falls from an airship and loses their memory. They are saved by an elder named Volkanon, and the protagonist must act as the town's temporary prince/princess. Frey/Lest tells whomever you're playing as has potential to be an Earthmate, just as the three protagonists before them (Raguna, Kyle, and Micah) and they can communicate with dragons.

So far, there are only 3 bachelor and bachelorettes, there are: Margaret, Dolce, and Bishnal. When a potential loves first shows up in Rune Factory 4, you get to see a movie of them. Once you start courting members of the opposite gender, you won’t have to dive straight into marriage after getting together — you’ll have the opportunity to maintain your relationship as lovers, not just with one but with multiple candidates.

See? How's the formation?

Next up is farming. You aren’t restricted to a strict grid in Rune Factory 4 while planting crops. Once you find a nice field to farm in, you can plant crops in whatever formation you choose. You can even grow giant crops (Like Harvest Moon DS).

To marry someone, you must have romantic date first. They're more innocent and romantic, such as playing piano, fishing or even talking. At first, you must invite someone (by pressing L and R?). And the romantic scene occur so MC can even closer to spouse you want to marry. In the bottom screenshot, it's revealed we can see the emotion dialog even when talking.

Shop, err... it's the same system as Rune Factory 3. No complain for me what is the shop system. Please see these two pictures intsead. Oh, by the way, the two new characters is Wolkanon (the elder butler, bottom), and there is a new system. You can build up the town using Prince System. Constructing buildings and hold festivals are needed by spending Prince Points.

Finally, dungeons. Like previous games, Famitsu confirms that you can tame monsters in dungeons and raise them (I think with monster hut too). Rune Factory 4 is about 50% complete in June 30th and is due out this year. Please note that the updates will be out before Dungeons system and I will update this post as the new updates by Marvelous are out. I will check Siliconera.com often for updates.

Blue Heroine in Pretty Cure Series

All Cures from Splash Star to Suite (excluding Cure Windy).

As I say, I will write the next part of the heroine based on theme color from Pretty Cure Series. Now is blue, which is my favorite. There is a list of all Blue Heroine of Pretty Cure Series, as I said blue is my favorite color. Below is all Pretty Cures who has included in this list. (I'm forgot writing Cure Windy so I must update it to this post instead)


Update: I know the characteristic of Blue Heroine when I watch the video, they have some, such as:

• Each has blue or purple hair and ponytails (except Cure Marine, she's not ponytail)
• Each has their solo attack based on liquid substance (Water and Ice): For Cure Aqua and Cure Marine are water while Beauty and Diamond are ice.

That's the only characteristic I know. If you have another that you know, please comment me.

Pink Heroine in Pretty Cure Series

Because I have many spare times, I'm going to write Pretty Cure Heroines according to the theme color. There are some theme colors that used in Pretty Cures, such as (the special Cures didn't count, but including Cure Echo and Cure Flower):

• Black (Cure Black)
• White (Cure White, Cure Egret, Cure Rhythm, Cure Echo)
• Pink (Cure Bloom, Cure Dream, Cure Peach, Cure Blossom, Cure Melody, Cure Happy, Cure Heart, Cure Lovely, Cure Flora, Cure Miracle, Cure Whip, Cure Yell)
• Red (Cure Rouge, Cure Passion, Cure Ace, Cure Chocola)
• Yellow (Shiny Luminous, Cure Bright, Cure Lemonade, Cure Pine, Cure Sunshine, Cure Muse, Cure Peace, Cure Rosetta, Cure Honey, Cure Twinkle, Cure Custard, Cure Etoile)
• Green (Cure Mint, Cure March, Cure Felice, Cure Parfait)
• Blue (Cure Windy, Cure Aqua, Cure Berry, Cure Marine, Cure Beat, Cure Beauty, Cure Diamond, Cure Princess, Cure Mermaid, Cure Gelato, Cure Ange)
• Purple (Milky Rose, Cure Moonlight, Cure Sword, Cure Fortune, Cure Magical, Cure Macaron)
• Orange (Cure Sunny)

All Pink Cures to Suite, including Cure Black who is introduced as Black Cure. Of course, Shiny Luminous is also categorized here.

First let's take a look on this first, Characteristics. The type of Pink Heroine Characteristics are (translated by myself from some episode):

• AHO a.k.a. stupid (except Luminous and Blossom).
• Genki (If I'm not wrong, it means energetic).
• Some are also Dojikko (Means careless)
• For Bloom and Melody, they both have interest to sports.
• Always optimistic to face all things.
• Except Luminous, Dream, Blossom and Flower, only the Pink Heroine that has the power-up in the movie.

If that's the case, then first I will introduces all Pink Heroine first. Let's go!

Items in Suite Pretty Cure

Cure Module (キュアモジューレ, Kyua Mojūre)

Debut: Episode 1

The Cure Module is a Brooch-like device that allows transformation of Pretty Cures. They are originated from the person's heart brooch of G-clef. To transform, a Fairy Tone must be inserted in the top slot of the Cure Module, and say "Let's Play! Pretty Cure Modulation!!" (レッツプレイ！プリキュアモジュレーション！！, Rettsu Purei! Purikyua Mojurēshon!!) and then press the button on the bottom side of the brooch. Besides needs Fairy Tone, the person must also in harmony mood usually with the phrase together "Unforgiveable! (絶対に許さない！Zettai ni yurusanai!)," in order this mood to occur.

In Episode 5 and the toy incarnations of the brooch, Hummy explains that the Cure Module also functions as an Ocarina, which is used to play music if a Fairy Tone is inserted and pressing the four button (or each two buttons in toy incarnation, each button [Pink and White, Blue and Purple] can plays 2 different music). Each Fairy Tone has a different abilities, for example Dory has a power of dream.

 

Also, like Heart Seed inserted on Heart Perfume in Heartcatch series, other Fairy Tones can be used by the Cure Module to increase Pretty Cure's abilities. For example, Solry can be used to increase Cure's power when it's blowed.


For Cure Muse, she use this item with Tiry to perform the attacks Shining Circle and Sparkling Shower, although she needs to detaches the Cure Module first. The way to make the attack functioned is also the same, playing Ocarina.

Extra: Where the Cure Modules comes out?

The Cure Modules are normally comes from G-Clef from the chosen Pretty Cures, Aphrodite mentions it Heart Tone Key (ハートのト音記号 Hāto no toonkigō; Heart of Treble Clef) because it also has a heart symbol together with G Clef (left). They can came out if the certain circumstances (right), like if they want to do something to protect (like Ako) or they say "Unforgivable!" (by Hibiki and Kanade, then Ellen), causing the potential to become Pretty Cures will woke up (right). Depending the amount of person who gets Cure Module out from their chest, they must transform in pair or even individually.

Legendary Score (伝説の楽譜 Densetsu no Gakufu)
Debut: Episode 1
The pink book that contains music notes for Music Princess to sing in order to protect everyone's happiness, it's called Happiness Melody (幸せのメロディ Shiawase no Merodi, also called Melody of Happiness). The vice versa is Sorrowful Melody (不幸のメロディ Fukou no Merodi; or Melody of Misfortune) where all people becomes sad whoever hears it and to make things even worse, reviving Noise completely. The 4 G Clefs from Pretty Cure were also needed to completely finish it (Pretty Cures give their G Clefs to Minor Land at Episode 43).

Cure Belltiers

Belltier in Bell Mode

The Cure Berthiers are the weapons used by the Pretty Cures (except Cure Muse). They summons secondary Fairy Tones (with primary if they can) to amplify harmony energy and unleash a powerful purification attack to the Negatone.

Trivia:

• The first two words (Mi, Fa, and So) is depending their Fairy Tones they use, for example Miry in Miracle Belltier Fary in Fantastic Belltier, and Solry for Soul Rod.
• Bell Mode appears thanks with Cure Muse's help, with separating the Belltier, they can perform their second attack. This Mode first appears in Episode 12.
• Cross Rod is another version of Stick Mode but the handle is swapped. With this, they can perform their powerful combination attack Music Rondo (see below). This Mode first appears in Episode 16 when Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm decides to defeat Negatone without Cure Muse's help (at that time Cure Muse was still masked and Cure Beat didn't born yet).

The Belltiers are follows:

Miracle Belltier

Debut: Episode 6
Cure Melody's Belltier is named Miracle Belltier (ミラクルベルティエ Mirakuru Berutie). She summons Miry (and Dory) to amplify harmony energy and unleash multiple attacks to the Negatone depending on the Modes. 

There are 3 Modes in this weapon, first is Stick Mode (スティックモード Sutikkumōdo), where this is the normal Belltier using Miry to unleash Music Rondo (ミュージックロンド Myūjikku Rondo) attack. Second is Bell Mode (ベル・モード Beru Mōdo), when both Dory and Miry are inserted and the Belltier was separated into two, where can be used to perform Miracle Heart Arpeggio (ミラクルハートアルペジオ Mirakuru Hāto Arupejio). And last is Cross Rod (クロスロッド Kurosu Roddo), where is the same as Stick Mode, but the other handle (Dory) was switched into another Fantastic handle (Rery), where she, along with Rhythm, can use the powerful version of Music Rondo, Music Rondo Super Quartet (ミュージックロンドスーパーカルテット Myūjikku Rondo Sūpā Karutetto).

In episode 9, Kanade ever dreams about Cure Melody using Miracle Belltier to save her, and not only Cure Melody has the Belltier, also Hummy, Siren, Trio the Minor, her family, Ako and Ouji also have, making her shout why she doesn't have one and wakes up.

 

Left: Using Miracle Belltiers to release energy bolts in Episode 14. ; Right: When her hands are trapped by enemy with Cure Rhythm in the movie, summoning Miracle Belltier or Cross Rod are impossible, only getting hurt afterwards.

Aside from purification attacks, the Miracle Belltier can also release energy bolts onto enemies upon contact. One weakness is that summoning the Belltier requires the use of both hands, so Cure Melody cannot summon her Belltier if her hands are trapped by the enemy (as seen in episode 9 and movie).

Fantastic Belltier

 

Debut: Pretty Cure All Stars DX3, Episode 9
Cure Rhythm's Belltier is named Fantastic Belltier (ファンタスティックベルティエ Fantasutikku Berutie). She summons Fary (and Rery) to amplify harmony energy and unleash multiple attacks to the Negatone depending on the Modes.

Like Miracle Belltier, there are 3 Modes in this weapon, the differences are the Fairy Tone used and the attack. For Stick Mode (スティックモード Sutikkumōdo), Rhythm uses Fary to unleash Music Rondo (ミュージックロンド Myūjikku Rondo) attack. In Bell Mode (ベル・モード Beru Mōdo), both Rery and Fary are needed to perform Fantastic Piachere (ファンタスティックピアチェーレ Fantasutikku Piachēre). While in Cross Rod (クロスロッド Kurosu Roddo), the other handle (Rery) was switched into another Miracle handle (Dory) [if you forgot the Cross Rod attack, see Miracle Belltier section].

Love Guitar Rod

Debut: Episode 22
Cure Beat's Belltier is not named of Belltier, instead she named this Love Guitar Rod, and shaped like guitar.

Unlike the Cure Belltiers, the Love Guitar Rod has two modes on which Cure Beat utilizes for her battle style. These mode are the Guitar Mode (ギターモード Gitā Mōdo), on which Cure Beat uses the Love Guitar Rod as a normal guitar and uses Lary to dispel or protect people from attacks, mainly Beat Sonic (ビートソニック Bīto Sonikku) and Beat Barrier (ビートバリア Bīto Baria). And the Soul Rod Mode (ソウルロッドモード Souru Roddo Mōdo), on which she uses it to amplify harmony energy and unleash a powerful purification attack which in this case, is the attack Heartful Beat Rock (ハートフルビートロック Hātofuru Bīto Rokku) which will purify a Negatone.

Healing Chest (ヒーリングチェスト Hīringu Chesuto)
Debut: Episode 29 (24 in 2nd eyecatch)
A lengendary item in Major Land, and is the residing place of the Crescendo Fairy Tone, as revealed by both Hummy and Cure Muse. The Crescendo Tone can heal the other Fairy Tones, as well as lend great power to the Pretty Cure at times. When it's scanned by hand, the Cresendo Tone will appear from the crystal ball in second eyecatch, also playing piano in the chest will feed the Fairy Tones. It also enable the Pretty Cures to use the attack Suite Session Ensemble (Crescendo with Cure Muse).
