Confused about the Dive2 + Dive 1 thing

[Enf0rc3]

Hey guys

Im playing that game from start, but i remember that the japanese version had Dive 1 first then Dive 2 as follow up game, how is that handled in that game? Its kind confusing

Greetings SwordArt

Dive 1 and Dive 2 were originally two separate games when initially released in japan. This release takes Dive 2 and adds all of the content from Dive 1 as well, hence Dive 2 + Dive 1.

So that means i will just play regular dive 1 at start and then go straight to dive 2 right? what about the endings from dive 1? they was some bad endings, some good, that why im confused

It might be a bit spoilerly... but whatever, no big spoilers.

There are a total of 6 main playthoughs you will complete in this game. The first 3 routes are originally Dive 1, and the latter 3 routes are in Dive 2.

In each route, there are multiple Endings (one good end and one bad end and/or alter end). And for the final route, there are... well let's just forget about it now, that's too much spoilers.

You will work on every playthough in order, they are in the order of Rain, Nanoha, Chinatsu, and... well, that should be enough spoiled.

Completing all 6 routes will allow you to experience the whole story. It will take around 90-110 hours in total, so remember to backup your save file once a while. You might need a month or two to finish the game even if you treat it as a part time job.

Also, all progression carry though the game so your character will become stronger over time.

Wow okey thank you Akira.MK2 that was exactly what i wanted to know, that answer helped me to understand that !
@Mods please sticky his answer, im sure other guys will be also confused about it and he explain it pretty well without spoilers.

when you talk about the final route you talk about the 6th route or a 7th route ?
