I'm not sure if any of the staff even check these forums anymore. The mods may have some idea of what's to come in future, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Yän - I tried that too I returned to OD frequently (or at the very least after each boss). I also tried to change what I took out each time so that each book was used in rotation. I just beat OD and IGA before facing the end boss. Obviously beating OD unlocked all 21 books but before the fight my limit was still two. I have reported this and some other issues I discovered in the bugs section. Unfortunately I doubt the developers check here anymore.

Hmmm - well I checked around on Steam and Gamefaqs and this seems to be an ongoing problem. Some people get the ability to take out three very quickly while others reach the end of the game with a limit of two. Some theories offered were map completion, bookshelves read and story progression. To test, I created another save file and was able to get three prior to the train but in my main file (I'm about to fight Zangetsu the second time) my limit is still two and OD simply gives me the generic "Here to take out a book?" response no matter how often I see him or change my book combination. The common consensus on the other sites was that it's bugged and from what I can see, I agree it looks to be that way .

Hi ladies and gents. This will be the fifth time I've played through the game and there's one thing I can't understand for the very life of me: what prompts OD to let you take out more books? I just defeated Bloodless and am still at the two book limit. I know from past experiences that I should have three by now. Does anyone know what makes him decide to let you take out more books? As always, thanks in advance!

Do you mean the one above your profile pic? I believe it changes colour depending on how many posts you have made.

I found one while farming shards off of KuneKune. While sitting on the train waiting for the "surprise event" the buer familiar will phase in and out of existence constantly when the player is looking out of the window. I tested the other familiars and they all behave properly but the buer seems to bug out and the controller rumble feature activates each time it re-spawns. It should simply "be there" alongside the player like the other familiars but it unspawns and respawns continuously until Miriam leaves her seat. Thanks and keep up the great work!
EDIT: I think I found another: Lindsay has just given me a quest to defeat several archdemons, living fossils and lamashtu but I have flag markers on the map where I fought Craftwork (the old stained-glass boss) as well as the room to the bottom right of the boss. There is also a flag in the room to the left of the first cyhyraeth the player will likely encounter in Dian Cecht Cathedral. The flag is in the small, narrow corridor with just an ordog. For reference I'm playing on PC with the GoG version.
One third possible bug: I have tested OD library book limit on several different files and on one file I was able to get three books very quickly prior to boarding the train while in the other, my limit is two just prior to facing Zengetsu the second time. Other sites (Steam & Gamefaqs) report similar issues.

joneirik - Thank you for the quick reply. What I ended up doing was to simply (ab)use the suspend system while traveling west to east since KuneKune shows up much earlier in that direction.

It's been awhile since I last played (and posted ) but I have recently restarted the game from scratch and it's amazing how much content was added since I last played this. Anyhow, my question is this: is there a way to prevent the game from pausing when it's not the active window. I'm currently trying to farm shards from Kunekune on the train and from the soundtrack alone, I can predict exactly when it will show up. However I'm sick of seeing the same train sequence over and over and if I tab off the game to something else, it pauses and the soundtrack no longer matches the "surprise event". Is there a way to keep the game running when it's in the background? I couldn't find anything in the settings. Thank you in advance.

Well purifyweirdshard you *did* want to play as Dominique; this probably isn't quite how you wanted things to pan out but it's better than nothing, right?

Who knows, might be untainted Dominique from CotM2 ;D A little off-topic but I just love Dominique's new design for CotM2. It's a bit of a shame it's only being used in-game in a retro game ... it would be so cool to play as her in a future update/ sequel ... *cough* ... Oh, and for the crossovers, I'm thinking it'll be a Shantae crossover and an Indivisible crossover, with costumes, shards and maybe an additional level. That's my best guess. I think Shantae would make an excellent efreet-type demon which attacks via dancing; the player would need to dispatch her before she completes her dance, otherwise...

Nothing from Konami surprises me anymore. I was pumped for the new TurboGraphx 16 mini but majority of ROMs included are exclusively in Japanese. Those that are localized are primarily shot-em-ups. They just can't seem to do anything right.

Another year, another question. I just recently noticed that there are two Bloodstained forum sites: bloodstainedfanforums.com/ (not secure) and bloodstained.forums.net/ (secure) Now that I've noticed it, I'll make a mental note to login via the https version. Have there always been two versions and if so, why?

Bloodstained is lucky that I love collecting junk and leveling up stats so much....which is something Hollow Knight does not offer. This, and the general easy to play relaxing nature of Igavanias, are sadly why I can't get into other Metroidvanias much at all. They're similar, but just don't scratch that same itch Igavanias do. Especially with the whole Soulsish trend of being focused on being challenging and/or even punishing. A lot of people love them but it's not what I go to games for, and it feels like Souls's popularity has left me starved for content. You took the words right out of my mouth; I find Iga games relaxing and unfortunately many Metroidvania games focus on challenge. I recently tried Guacamelee and while the bulk of the game is alright, getting the "good" ending is (in my opinion) unreasonably difficult. Fortunately there is a new Shantae game coming out next month which I'm looking forward to but even Wayforward are hit-or-miss with their sudden difficulty spikes; beach mode in Half Genie Hero was particularly infuriating.

I suppose I'm the odd man out who was primarily hyped for the original vanilla game and the added modes were just bonus fluff. Still, it's a shame to see so much get cut since the campaign was launched. I have a gut feeling that given how long it's taking to release Zangetsu mode, I would not be surprised in the slightest if they cut the third playable character.

I really hope Zangetsu mode adds a new area as well. My favorite level in Curse of the Moon was the bonus stage after beating the game once and it would be great to see Zangetsu's personal hell make a return with ROTN graphics and colours.

The best version will match the system you own All jokes aside, it's probably the PC version but I've heard the PS4 and Xbox versions look and run great as well.

As hyugakojiro mentioned: Shantae and the Seven Sirens was easily my most anticipated game of 2019 (now 2020 ) after Bloodstained. The Metroidvania genre is currently experiencing a golden age and I'm thoroughly enjoying the wave of great titles.
