Its here!

So the whole community is probably anxious to get there hands on Shikai at least I know I was. I was slightly disheartened to find out Water needed wisdom a stat I had neglected heavily. The release for 3 reaitsu is amazing cheap. I'm not good with numbers but if I take the time out I can check to see if I am getting exactly 5% to offense and defense(I do see an increase). My special attack is a mere 86 damage feel free to laugh at me =P.

Just some suggestions,complaints, requests:

On the wiki it says you need four extra but rather you need five(5).

I'm not sure how to train but I'd rather play with it rather than being told right away.

If you could give us another restat or let us be able to purchase for 5 USD or whatever currency you like.

Could you change my release command to Okiro, Benihime. Only because making the command Awaken like I have it is redundant and I'm slightly embarrassed?

All in all I'm content though the release date was pushed back a few times. I hope this increases activity between the members and staff. Kudos Neji and thank you.  


Edit: Yumichika is so easy now he doesn't even get a chance to whip out his shikai.

At the very least I'm hitting small power moves.

Is it just me or have the hollows gotten stronger? I'm getting less flawless fights when I press "H".

It really helps, when you have a lot of reiatsu to start with. But I beileve most who can gain shikai do. not, that I can use it right now. Zephyr only level 2 so far. But if shikai is as powerful as Neji was saying. It should be great when it really opens up.

Winds needs constitution; and I have all my status at 17 right now. I guess I did good doing that from the start?

It would be  good to mark your points with ... numbers =)

#1 "low" damage ... yes, the damage of the first (and cheapest) attack bases heavily on your stats and the one attribute. I made it not-so-fast-progressing, but I can adjust that. I need some experience values.

#2 you should need 4 more. If you acquire Shikai, you have a powerlevel of 1, at 5 you can intentionally release Shikai.

#3 play with it ... I thought about it, but took the "you are told how to do it" approach as some things might already be confusing to people. Hence the complete stats in the wiki entry.

#4 changes of the release phrases are (currently) not possible. I will make an entire "zanpakutou"-redo option available at some point. I think for donation points, though not that many as you will have no zanpakutou abilities then for a while.
phrases might be different, changes of type/form will be resets.

#5 I hope you're content with it, I know it took me a long time to think and figure out what and how to do... merging relatively-easy-to-understand along with relatively-little-stress-for-the-server as well as easy-to-expand-later-on was not easy.

#6 it is you, the fights have not changed.

#1. I don't mind the low damage since the stat that it is dependent on is super low. I had a feeling on the wiki it said you had to use it a lot but blah blah people who can't read don't deserve to have everything told to them.

#2. Well just letting you know after June 23rd it took 5 final tests and I already had my shikai named.

#3. Gotcha.

#4. So I just have to wait a while before I can mend my screw up, alright.

#5. Well I'm not difficult to please, hopefully people who have expressed their feelings towards me will come forward here.

#6. That's disheartening to find out I got weaker.

Edit: Yumichika just hit me for 516 damage, you are evil!

Well in the wiki you have the given boosts for the water shikai as such; 5% attack, 5% defense.

I did some calculations and I got these boosts;

24.8(original attack) +1.2(boost) ~4.8%
33.2(original defense) +3.3(boost) ~9.9%

The attack boost is close enough just the defense is over the actual amount.
