Okay, so, let me tell you about this little project I got myself into – restoring Hulkenberg’s rear end in Metaphor: ReFantazio. It’s been a journey, let me tell you.
I started by diving deep into the forums. It seems like everyone’s been having the same issue. The model’s a bit… off, you know? I found a few texture mods, but honestly, they didn’t really cut it. They were like putting a band-aid on a broken leg. Not quite what I was looking for.
Then, I stumbled upon this one post, somewhere on a forum. It was talking about a “Maito Guy butt” fix. That made me laugh, but also got me thinking. If they could do that, maybe there’s hope for fixing Hulkenberg’s backside after all.
I decided to take matters into my own hands. I messed around with the textures myself. It wasn’t easy, I’ll admit. It was a lot of trial and error, a lot of squinting at the screen, and a lot of “undo” button action. My friend helped me to paint it together.
I also remembered something about collecting three things in the game to get a full HP and MP restore for an ally. I’m not sure if it’s related, but I made a note of it. Seemed important, somehow. I even talked to Eupha, who’s apparently involved in this whole thing. Maybe I’ll circle back to that later.
I learned that Hulkenberg’s Bond automatically unlocks after exiting the mausoleum on 6/10. Good to know. I made sure to mark that on my calendar. I’ve also been using her Knight skill to draw aggro, since she’s tough as nails against that Grius guy. It’s been working pretty well so far.
After hours of work, I finally got something that looked halfway decent. It’s not perfect, but it’s a heck of a lot better than it was before. I even shared my texture fix online, hoping it would help others too.
- Dive into forums for solutions.
- Try existing texture mods.
- Experiment with textures.
- Research in-game mechanics.
- Use character skills strategically.
- Share the final results.
So, what’s the lesson here?
Well, sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands. And sometimes, the best solutions come from the most unexpected places. Like, who knew a “Maito Guy butt” fix would lead me down this rabbit hole? Anyway, I hope my little adventure helps someone out there. Happy gaming, folks!
