Turns out there is a Party Room at the top if you revisit Sanwakai Tower in Loiter mode after beating River City Girls 2. It features a lot (but not all) of the NPCs you had met during your adventure.

There is no special condition for this room to become accessible; it's enough to just beat the main story. But I could find no previous footage of this place on YouTube, probably because it isn't associated with any achievement and it requires conscious effort to open the game, select Loiter mode, and go through Sanwakai Tower again.

There are disco lights with colorful confetti on both sides, and cheering can be occasionally heard.

Nevertheless, I believe this room is an awesome easter egg from the devs at WayForward! It could even change how the ending of RCG2 should be interpreted canonically. >!Maybe the protags received an invitation to Sanwakai Tower for this party after playing video games at home, and RCG3 could pick up from that.!<

Feel free to comment if you already knew about this place.

Even the GameFAQ guide says this particular enemy (No. 101 Turncoat Titillator) is tough to get in premium adventure. I have been running around Yokohama Blvd in Ijincho and East Taihei Blvd in Kamurocho, the two biggest spawning points of the Flash Mobber enemy with hopes of this guy showing up among them, too, for half an hour each; but to no avail. All encounters are 2, 3 or 5 Flash Mobbers only.

And I don't want to start New Game+ yet just to find this guy in an earlier chapter and complete the sujidex.

I checked Google and previous reddit posts about this, but all tips seemed to rely on RNG. Is there seriously no surefire way to get this guy in Premium Adventure without the RNG pain?

Apologies if this was already uploaded here recently

It would be hilarious if they made it like Goro Majima in Yakuza Kiwami, who literally showed up to fight Kiryu as a pseudo-random encounter at every possible turn and finally had the ultimate duel once all encounter battles were done (which is also my inspiration for the second pic in my post lol).

Given how Majima is equally obsessed with Kiryu, a similar mechanic and story could totally be adapted for a future River City Girls game, where Hasebe or Mami (depending on whether the player picked Misako or Kyoko) would randomly show up for a fight while passing by certain spots or after defeating a mob of regular enemies. It would also be an incredibly hilarious and fun way to make up for >!their minimal appearance in RCG2!<

Thanks for reading! Would love to hear your thoughts on the future of this adorably hate-able pair!

I did make a patch for it, but I am still upset that it took WayForward 6 years to learn about this bug after *I* sent the report to them. I expected WayForward's programmers to be knowledgeable enough to write their code robustly enough to avoid this. I really did.

They didn't have to know the Turkish edge case with the letter "i" where Turkish has two letter pairs "I/ı" and "İ/i" instead of "I/i". They just needed to write code with invariant culture to ensure that their code would work properly on all devices worldwide. The C# language and by extension Unity have these preventable quirks where case conversion and string generation happens based on the player's device culture by default, hence the bugs on Turkish devices and the comma showing up on money display in non-English European devices. Even though they don't use Latin alphabet, language settings like Russian, Japanese and Korean don't trigger these bugs because they still respect the case conversion rule "I/i" while parsing the English strings in the source code.

They would have ABSOLUTELY caught those massive bugs if they also happened to test their game on Turkish devices.

My footage of the visible bugs on YouTube (first one is short, second one is longer):

My full dialogue up to that point:

Me: Ask me a simple math question

Gpt: Sure! Here’s a simple one:

What is 7 + 5?

Me: The answer is 12. Now ask a harder one

Gpt: Nice. Let’s step it up a bit:

What is 12 × 8 − 15?

Me: It's 81. Ask a harder one

Close—but not quite. 12×8=96, and 96−15=81… actually, you got it right 😄

Let’s go a bit harder:

What is (15+5)×6÷4+9(15+5)×6÷4+9?

Just stumbled upon it from one of Voldi Way's old RTs (check 2nd image for screenshots).

All mentions of "Watch Quest" by WayForward on X:

Apparently it's no longer supported by the later versions of the Watch's OS, and required both an iPhone and an Apple Watch to play? And its story isn't connected to the main series either... But Bolo was its main character?!

I don't have either of those devices, but still curious how well this particular installment is known among the Shantae fandom.
