In theory it is possible, I mean, Alpha mode has proven that date gifts let you go as high as you want. But you'll need to be really lucky considering the 18 time limit.
Ugh, what a pain...Fail 1 date > start a new savegame.
1) Any girl
2) Night only
Perfectly do-able, as a matter of fact, I did No Talking, No Alcohol, No Fail and Pickup Legend achievements on the same run as well
Inlcuding Lucky Loser into the mix is going to be a pretty hellish challenge: I tried it at first, but quickly gave up.
Anyway, good luck, Shteev!
Anyway, this turned out to be a really bad idea. Not meeting all of the girls on day 1 put severe limitations on the number of Date Gifts I was able to acquire. Without powerful Date Gifts, and especially powerful combos of Date Gifts, I found myself really struggling and I failed on date #11.
Date #11 sounds better than it is. Technically, you only need to go on 12 dates by day 6 without upgrades. This does mean, tho, that the correct girl HAS to be available at night on day 6. Also, having not dated anyone else, you won't be able to get a night date again until day 10, so you have *just* enough time to get jiggy with the rest of the girls, ending on day 18... but I don't fancy getting that far through the game and finding out my last girl is asleep.
So, really I'd like a 'backup' girl for day 6, which means going on 15 dates without upgrades. This also allows me to finish the game on day 17, giving me some wiggle room. That's 3 more unupgraded dates, tho...
I haven't even begun to worry about how low my Hunie will be for upgrades once I reach day 7. one thing at a time, eh?
Hmm... presumably this means that I can't have a successful night date on the night that I encounter Celeste. If I take the girl home that I went there to meet, then I won't end up meeting Celeste at all... So THAT means I definitely can't have just 12 dates in the first 6 days. Although I don't need 15 dates, I could scrape by with 13...
With that achievement aside, it's not difficult to obtain all the others within a single playthrough with a fair bit of planning ahead.
Good luck to you if you intend to follow through. Though you'd save yourself a lot of time going for 19 instead of 20.
This time I played aggressively for Date Gifts. I met all 8 girls on day 1 and dated just enough of them to afford all the Date Gifts I could potentially get. Over the next 3 days I set up my first 3 girls for nights 4, 5 and 6 for the Lucky Loser achievement, dated Aiko 3 times as a backup in case anyone was unavailable, and spent the rest of the time visiting the girls whom I could get the most Date Gifts out of from what was in the shop. By the end of day 2 I had 15 Date Gifts, and by day 6 I had enough powerful ones to get me through the last unupgraded dates.
As soon as the dates started getting really tricky I'd make sure I saved 600 Munie per date to buy Food for extra moves. (It's worth checking which girls eat which foods so you don't get to the last date of the day and realise there's nothing she will eat).
On day 7 I started on the upgrades. I sunk 3 pts into Passion and 3 into Flirtation, and started dating the 3 girls who favor Flirtation. The dates suddenly became very easy :)
Also, since I couldn't get a night date for a couple of days, I picked up Celeste from the beach.
Hunie didn't turn out to be a problem at all. I stopped buying the girls items for Date Gifts and started buying them for Hunie instead.... there's really nothing else for me to spend my Munie on. If I saw an expensive item which I was unable to give to a girl on a particular day, I'd buy it and save it in my inventory until I met the right girl.
So far, so good. There were a couple of hiccups with girls not being available when I wanted them to be, and I foolishly met Kyu at night once thinking I'd dated her 3 times already when I hadn't, but I was still on course for a day 18 completion. (This makes me think that dating a fourth girl in the first 6 days is essential. You need some margin for error)
But then came the FATAL ERROR... I didn't start dating Beli until day 12. I didn't even notice what I'd done at first, but then Beli left town for 2 days and I realised that in order to finish on day 18 I'd have to start dating Venus on day 15, which meant finishing with the first 8 girls by day 14 at the lastest.
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Ah well, it beats playing another 30 games on Alpha Mode :)
MVP of the day: Peep Toe Heels. When playing those unupgraded dates on the first few days, an accidental match of Broken Hearts can be devastating. That doesn't happen if you give your girl Peep Toe Heels :)
I just tried my first attempt. I planned to date audrey, tiffany, and lola at the first day. Also buying the gifts they like.
I failed at the 3rd girl since the affection goal is @ 246 for the 3rd date.
I think this is impossible(for hard) especially with the no alcohol and no upgrades before bedding the 3 girls restriction.
next attempt, I'll try to do only 2 girls at the first day and see if I can manage to survive to day 2
To me this seems against the spirit of the venture. If you want to try it tho, go ahead... it's hard enough as it is!
Good man. I admire your spirit! Actually I thought I *was* doing it on hard until yesterday, when I realised that restarting the game had bumped me back to normal difficulty. Now I've proved it's possible to myself on normal I'll try hard today. The part of my brain that wants to challenge me wants me to ban myself using Pearl Necklace as well, but that could just be crazy talk.
On normal mode the affection goal is 185, so that's a hike of about 33%.
The problem is that if you're going to buy 8 or more Date Gifts on day 1, you'll need the Munie from somewhere.... anyway, good luck!
A few relevant notes:
I *think* the girls run on a schedule, and go to the same places every time you play. I'm not entirely sure since I didn't record a lot of data, but I certainly had 2 games where the following happened: Tiffany was asleep at night on days 4 & 6, Kyanna was asleep at night on days 5 & 8, Beli was out of town days 6 & 7, Lola was out of town days 2, 7, 8, & 9, Nikki was on the beach at night on day 8, and nobody (or at least nobody I could access) was on the beach at night on days 7 & 9.
You can turn almost every item you buy in the shop into a Date Gift early on. Kyu becomes active on day 5, so you can give her Dancer items, and you can probably get Momo pretty soon too, for Aquarium items... the items in the shop are not completely random, you usually get cheaper ones before expensive ones become available, and the Goldfish are the cheapest Aquarium item. This only leaves Scuba and Garden items which cannot be converted. Buy ALL of them, and leave them in your inventory for later if you can't give them to a girl on the current day. This will give you, on average, about 10 Date Gifts a day. By day 4 you should be able to build up a really great set to play with. I recommend combos of gifts which give you extra moves, like Stuffed Penguin+Gold Earrings, or Sunflower+Cork Wedge Sandals, or, y'know, maybe just all 4 of them :)
Your inventory might get pretty full, but *don't* throw away any Date Gifts until you have all the ones you want, or you might be given a second copy of them (I don't know if this can happen or not, but better not take any chances, eh?)
Once you have all of the Date Gifts that you want, stop giving gifts to girls who love them and start giving them to the the girls who just like them, for Hunie. You may well not finish the game with enough Munie to max out all your stats, so try and clean out the shop every day, as every single item will be wanted by at least one girl who will give you Hunie for it. Don't buy any Unique Gifts at all, they're only any use if you talk to the girls.
Save Munie for Food for those tricky dates on days 4-6! If you *really* want to plan everything like a military campaign, don't forget you can buy Food for later days and store it in your inventory if you have space, and also check which girls eat which Food.
In my final attempt I built up a solid set of Date Gifts and went on 22 unupgraded dates in the first 6 days, and I still finished with no time to spare on day 18. (I managed day 8 badly tho, I visited Nikki in the evening so I was unable to visit her on the beach at night, and Kyanna who I was planning to complete was asleep). I suspect Venus will all always be available in the last few days, otherwide the game developers will get some angry letters from people going for the Pickup Legend achievement. I strongly advise anyone attempting an all achievements run to do as many dates as they can manage in the first 6 days. You don't have to do all 8 dates on day 1, tho, get some powerful Date Gifts before doing the harder dates.
The affection goal for date 22 on Hard mode was 1,895. If there's a way of doing that unupgraded without the Pearl Necklace, then I would like to know what it is!
