Hint
From ONISM1999
 | This article is a stub. Please help by contributing to this page. Note: "Make sure 1.5's hints are the same" |
Hints are an option to look at for hints to progress the main story of YIIK: A Postmodern RPG in the pause menu. They often change frequently, usually after a cutscene or battle. You get access to the hints immediately during gameplay (under Field Karta and options icons) as the Nameless Child, and in the pause menu, after Alex's intro monologue.
There are no hints for New Game+ of YIIK I.V, it never changes from "There is nothing left for me to teach you. You know what to do." in both Nameless Child and Cyrille segments. In New Game++, the hints do return for the Original Quest.
In addition, there are no hints for the KNN Ending, as it never changes from "Go to the big city with your pals." However, the hints afterwards in New York City allude to how to access the ending.
