Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo: Unit Update Guide

Greetings, after finding several people who had trouble figuring out how the Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo “Update” system works, I decided to make this post to very briefly explain how it works and to list the upgrades that each unit gets. (Then I noticed while writing this entry that the confusion was all due to a mistranslation on one of the tutorials...)

The option to update your units will be unlocked once you beat chapter 12.

                                              

First of all, don't mistake “Shop: Upgrades” for “Update”. Both of them use Bonus points as currency, but the shop is used to buy stat boosters, and they are so pricey that (in my opinion) is not really worth buying them unless you're already in the post-game and have no other use for the BP.

The "Update" menu is used to enhance your units and have them learn/upgrade stats, skills and traits.



Every unit can be upgraded up to 5 times. For the most part, they will be getting stats they have some use for. It's possible to know which updates will have them learn/upgrade skills/traits because they're highlited with a ★ symbol. The price for each update level is as follows:

  1.      500 Bonus
  2.      1000 Bonus
  3.      2000 Bonus
  4.      3000 Bonus
  5.      5000 Bonus

The stat/skill gains per unit and update number are as follows:

Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo - English Fan-Translation COMPLETED (Main Story + Post-game)

Image
  Greetings, after almost six more months of work today we bring you the highly anticipated COMPLETE  translation of Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo . In November, when the fourth partial was released, I said the next partial would cover the entirety of the main story , leaving  the post-game for later, and that was indeed what I planned to do, but while I was writing this very entry the editor sent me the corrections for the 5 post-game chapters at once , making what was supposed to be the fifth partial into a full release. For those who just learned about this project,   Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo  is a  VN/SRPG hybrid . I already wrote about what kind of story it is in the  post I made for the first partial ,   and gave  some tips for the gameplay portion  in the  post for the second partial. The  potentially-missable-events trigger list  I started with the release of the third partial has also been completed in adva...

Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo First Partial English Fan-TL (Chapter 1 to 15)

Image
Greetings, today I bring you the first partial English translation of Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo, an indie visual novel/SRPG hybrid from TS (author) . TS is a veteran of Japanese indie games who has been releasing game after game since the beginning of this century, all of which he has done as a solo artist. "Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo" is a remaster of "Mahou Shoujo", his fifth game. As someone who has played all of his old games the change to SRPG Studio from Simulation RPG Maker 95 is greatly appreciated. These last weeks I have been working on this project with   ticonderoga67   (who has been in charge of redrawing and editing). This first partial covers up to chapter 15 of the main story (end of act 1). VNDB (Shinsetsu) Mahou Shoujo DOWNLOAD Link (Mediafire) For those who are interested in knowing what kind of story it is, I will give a spoiler-free opinion. A character-driven story with very good gameplay-story integration: To make it very simple, Shinmahosho is the s...

Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo Fourth Partial English Fan-TL (Chapter 1 to 42)

Image
  Greetings, after another two months dedicated to this project, today we bring you the, (hopefully) long awaited by many, fourth partial English translation of Shinsetsu Mahou Shoujo. It took a little more time than the previous ones, and this is due to several factors, among which are that my main job demands a lot of my time and energy and that, as much as I love this story and its characters, after going through the whole thing more than ten times I'm rather tired of it (translating is way harder that reading, that's for sure). In this past year I have played very few games/visual novels since I have been dedicating a lot of time to translation and, for the sake of my mental health, I plan to limit how much time I spend on it so I can try other things and don't end up getting fed up with it. We still have to translate the last story arc, the side-story chapters that are unlocked in the middle of it, the epilogue and the five extra chapters of the post-game. As for the n...
