*'''Q: Why can't I have sex with a character I'm going out with?!?'''<br />A: This could be for a number of reasons depending on the trait and virtues. But some things to keep in mind is that the virtue level exponentially increases the difficult to initiate sex the first time. Also if the character is a teacher this increase the difficulty to initiate sex the first time. Finally if the character is a virgin it increase the difficulty to initiating sex the first time. Keep this is mind when making characters.

*'''Q: How can I initiate sex the first time if my characters is like that???'''<br />A: If they have the blackmail/exploitable trait than you can have non consensual sex and that will get rid of their virginity removing some of the difficulty. Also taking them to the love hotel for sex seem to have a better chance of success than asking them to do it at the school. If you can't have non consensual sex with the character than try having sex with another character that like you and getting caught in the act, this will lead to the 2 characters asking you to choose between them. Then choose the character who you been trying to initiate sex with, this should lead to an immediate H-scene between you and that character. Other than that it just going take a lot of time with that character before they'll let you have sex with them or they'll initiate the sex themselves.

=Basic Guide On How To Succeed In Relationships=
+
*'''Q: What things to avoid being hated by other love interests?'''<br />A: Being caught flirting (Praise, Love Conversation, etc. with the condition that the love interest is looking at you) with other girls will also negatively affect the relationship with your love interest. Interrupting Love conversations will also increase hate points with the interrupted towards the person who interrupts. (If they have "Love Rivals" Status, there won't be any hate)
Note: Check sexual orientation of NPC before following this guide. Homosexual female is incompatible with male character for example.
 
  
==Mutual Relationship==
+
=Basic Advice for Successful Interactions=
Relationship is like playing catch ball. You can repeat one-way action but you can also induce their reactions to build the relationship more mutual and effective. 
+
For those who are having trouble with character interactions (racking up a lot of 0% and making classmates angry):
* Use the advantage of interactions from NPC to PC. You can always get the best result as long as you choose a right answer.
 
* Give NPC a time after your action is finished. If NPC is about to leave, hold them and take your turn.
 
  
==Mood And Atmosphere==
+
* Initiate conversations using friendly topics. Failing won't decrease the NPC's opinion of you so just try another one with better chance.  
Mood & Atmosphere are the key point of successful interaction. Even after the interaction was successfully made, the result can be poor if NPC was in a bad mood.
+
* Be cautious, repeating the same topic over three times will end by boring the NPC.
*On the other hand, Critical success(big horn sound) has high change of changing the mood into desired stage. ex) normal -> happy, happy -> horny 
+
* Combine your interactions. Using the same interaction twice in a row will result in decreased success rate for the second.
*Read the Atmosphere by listing BGM. Start mild conversations first to build the mood. Use "Praise" if you failed an interaction.  
+
* Praise is a fail-safe option unless the NPC hates you, improving favorability even if it fails (as long as the success chance was above 0%) and offering a decent chance to lift the mood into Happy or Blush, depending on the NPC's opinion of you. However, it costs a lot of time, skipping a noticeably bigger part of a period than most other interactions.
 +
* If the NPC's sad or angry use "Encourage" or "Calm" to resolve the problem.
 +
* "Encourage" and "Calm" are also good ways to gain favorability. Use it whenever you find the NPC in a bad mood.
  
== The Way of Flirt==
+
=Basic Guide On How To Succeed In Relationships=
"Love" and "Erotic" conversation '''Do NOT''' increase love points more than other topics. Its main function is to change the mood. The increase mostly depends on sexual orientation and traits. If NPC is lesbian and your PC is a hetero male, the increase of Love points will be visibly low than Like points in each and every interaction.  
+
Having a full-hetero female or male means it will be hard to increase like with, while love progress is more effective. A bisexual person's love and like increase is balanced, while a full homosexual person will get you "friendzoned" if you are the opposite gender. Lean hetero will more likely be harder to increase love. You will end up in a one-sided love if you are being too aggressive. Always keep in mind what kind of sexual orientation your target is.
 +
==Mutual Relationship==
 +
Relationship is like playing catch ball. You can repeat one-way action but you can also induce their reactions to build it more mutual and effective. 
 +
* Use the advantage of interactions from NPC to PC. You can always get the best result from it as long as you choose a right answer.
 +
* Give NPCs a time after your action is finished. If NPC is about to leave, hold them and take your turn.  
  
* Conversation is the basic way to build the points. "Have Some Fun", "Go to Eat", "Go to Karaoke" build them much faster but have less chance of success.
+
==Mood==
* If NPC has built enough love points toward PC, his/her mood may change into Blush when Love conversation is successfully made.
+
Mood is a key point in interactions. If the NPC is in a bad mood, it's best to resolve that issue before trying to get them Happy, Blushing or Horny. A Happy mood grants better success chances to most interactions and makes it easier to transition into Blush or Horny.
* At this stage, "Ero" topic will be succeed in higher chances and may lead to Horny mood.   
+
*Critical success (big horn sound) in interactions has higher a chance of changing the mood into desired stage. ex) normal -> happy, happy -> blush or horny    
*"Caress", "Hug", "Kiss" become viable choices but not necessary. Depending on factors, there will more failure than success. The loss can be heavier than gains.
+
*BGM reflects overall atmosphere in your area, resulted from the mood of every present NPC.
* Characters with <span style="color:blue">Faithful</span>/<span style="color:red">Singleminded</span> trait refuse Close Contacts other than "Caress" until beome a lover.  
 
  
==What IS Confess==
+
==Reading the Room==
The name Confess can be easily mistaken. It works very different from "Ask to be Lovers". Confess is an action of showing your affection to NPC. It is the best way to check NPC's feeling toward you. It is better than Jizou Statue which often delude you to mistakes.
+
Aside from the immersion effect, the overall mood reflected by the BGM affects success chances of certain interactions. The effects that have been observed so far are:
* If NPC's reaction is vague, she/he is still not love in you no matter what Jizou Statue displays.
 
* If the reaction is mutual, "I like you too!", this is the sign she/he is in love with you.  
 
* NPCs also make confessions to PC and other NPCs. But these are not always reliable sources; especially it was rumored from a third person.
 
  
=Easy and Cheap Method to Win a Girl (if you're impatient)=
+
* Tense/Jealous/Angry: x50% multiplier on the success chance of all Contact interactions.
This was found by experimenting and is almost guaranteed to work. This guide was originally made by '''NoobGraphicArtist''' from [http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php/430854?p=3548196#post3548196 here], but it was edited to be more readable.
+
* Blush: x120% multiplier on the success chance of all Contact interactions.
 +
* Horny: x150% multiplier on the success chance of Erotic talk and all Contact interactions.
  
==Create A Custom character==
+
These multipliers are applied on top of those invoked by the personal mood of the specific NPC you're talking to. For instance, if the NPC themself is in the Blush mood, but the BGM is that for the Tense mood, the success rate for, for instance, Caress will be (150% from Blush x 50% from Tense BGM) 75% that of the base rate. As a result, it is rather important to account for atmosphere when interacting with someone, and it's even worth it to lead someone away from the location they were in if the overall mood shows no signs of changing. If you are alone in a location with an NPC that's Blushing or Horny, the music will change accordingly sooner rather than later, providing you buffs to success rates of important interactions.<br/>
How to design your character(s) for easy H.
+
It's important to note that when the overall mood changes, the music gradually fades from one track to the other. The exact moment the mood multipliers from the music apply is when the previous soundtrack begins fading out, so it's better to wait until you can hear the next soundtrack to decide your course of action.<br/>
 +
Disabling the background music in the ingame settings ''does not'' nullify the effect of the overall mood on the interactions.
  
[[File:AA2_Quick_H_char.jpg|800px|Traits]]
+
== The Way of Flirt==
*Choose Trait: Lewd + Passionate
+
The increase of points is mostly affected by sexual orientation (ex: NPC is a lean-homo girl and the PC is a hetero man. The increase of the girl's Love points for the guy will be visibly lower than that of Like, while the guy will only develop Love for the girl at a normal rate).
*Personality: Doesnt matter which one
 
*Virtue: Lowest
 
*Sociability: Set it to Highest Level
 
  
==Procedure==
+
It is easier to make best friends with heterosexuals of the same gender than of the different gender. Bisexual has the most balanced love/like increase in the game. You can easily get them as your best friend or lover.
  
===Step 1: Use Chat Bubble===
+
* Conversation is the basic way to build the points. Have Some Fun, Go To Eat, Go To Karaoke build much faster but have lower chances of success.
[[File:AA2_Quick_H_Chat.png|Chat]]
+
* If NPC has built enough love points toward PC, his/her mood may change into "Blush" when Love conversation is successfully made.
 +
* At this stage, Erotic topic will be more successful and may put the NPC into a Horny mood, unless the character happens to have an Asexual trait. Also, the base chance of success of Erotic talk goes down as the NPC's virtue goes up. Take into account as well, that Horny is the only mood that increases the success chance of Erotic talk; Blush will ''decrease'' it.
 +
* Caress, Hug, Kiss are high risk, high reward options. They will damage the relationship on failure without enough intimacy and their base success rates are very low without the increase from accumulated Love, so save those headpats until the NPC has at least a moderate level of Love for the PC. However, once the necessary Love levels have been reached, Caress becomes instrumental in progressing the relationship. Hug, Kiss and Touch are best saved for both sufficient intimacy and when the NPC is in the Horny mood. Once you learn the success rate correlations between different interactions, you can use Caress, Hug, Kiss and Touch to great effect.
 +
* Characters with <span style="color:blue">Faithful</span>/<span style="color:red">Singleminded</span> trait refuse Close Contacts other than Caress with non-lovers.
  
Easy combo:
+
==What Makes Flirting Difficult==
#Love > Lewd > Skip box
+
* Incompatible orientation. Even Lean Homo (for different genders of PC and NPC) or Lean Hetero (otherwise) characters are ''considerably'' more difficult to romance than Bisexual characters or those of a more compatible orientation and require a special effort to bed on top of that presented by other factors, such as virtue. NPCs of a purely incompatible orientation with the PC are completely impossible to romance.
#Love > lewd > go with me Study > skip box
+
* Low sociability decreases success chances on most interactions. There's no qualitative difficulty increase with this, it just forces you to spend more time getting the NPC to open up to you, and possibly compensating more penalties from failed Love talk and whatnot; Lowest sociability NPCs that barely know the PC, even in the Happy mood, still have rather low success chances even on Talk interactions, which includes Love.
#lewd > massage > love > skip box
+
* Bad With (whatever gender the PC is) trait. Same thing here as with low sociability, but instead of lowered success chances, it halves the Like and Love point gain for successful interactions. This is still a lesser evil than low sociability because it doesn't damage the consistency of your romantic progress with said NPC, it just makes it half as fast.
 +
* High virtue makes it increasingly difficult to get the NPC into the Horny mood, be it through Erotic talk or other means. Highest virtue NPCs will have low base success rates on Erotic talk even at a maxed Love level. High and Highest virtue NPCs run away from any erotic scene, preventing you from casually romancing them while there are three couples having sex nearby, making this mechanic more difficult to exploit. Usually, this isn't as much as an increase in romancing difficulty as it is in time it will take to do so, limiting you to more conservative options such as Love talk and relying on the Blush mood instead of Horny, unless there are also certain traits at play (see below).
 +
* <span style="color:blue">Faithful</span>/<span style="color:red">Singleminded</span> NPCs lock you out of close contact interactions until you're lovers. This slows you down on the last leg of your effort to win them over, but as a reward, if you're the first to claim them, you have a lover who won't let anyone else as much as hug them until you break up (if the NPC is also Exploitable, <span style="color:blue">Deceptive</span>/<span style="color:red">Scheming</span> NPCs still may or may not be able to force them into sex anyway).
 +
* Violent or <span style="color:blue">Pessimistic</span>/<span style="color:red">Melancholy</span> traits. They cause the NPC to enter unfavorable moods more often, making romance more difficult through decreased success chances and making it more difficult to put them in a mood that's more beneficial for romantic progress. Trying to talk them out of bad mood is not an assured success until you're already on better terms.
 +
* A class that doesn't get along overall will make it less likely that the NPC you're trying to score with will happen to be in the Blush or Horny mood without your prior input, and more likely that they will be in a bad mood, slowing your progress down. Also, a "bad" class is prone to "poison" locations with bad overall mood and atmosphere, decreasing your success chances at romantic interactions further.
 +
* The <span style="color:blue">Loyal Friend</span>/<span style="color:red">Affable</span> trait is a curse in disguise depending on the sexual orientation of the NPC you're trying to romance. It doubles the amount of Like points the NPC gets from interacting with others, possibly rendering the usual romance algorithms unusable because the Love/Like/Dislike/Hate point distribution will be skewed in the "Like" direction, causing even Bisexual characters to friendzone you rather quickly. This has no effect on NPCs whose orientation prevents them from getting Like points for the PC in the first place and is manageable if their orientation halves the Like point gain (for instance, if the NPC is a different gender from the PC and is Lean Hetero). Bisexual NPCs is where it gets difficult. You have to focus on getting the NPC into the Blush or Horny mood and try to perform most interactions while they're hot and bothered to reap the most of the doubled Love point gain associated with the Blush and Horny moods. Limit the interactions that make the NPC gain Like points as much as possible. Exploit every opportunity to make the NPC Horny without spending attempts at Erotic talk (as you're limited to 3 per period), such as a nearby orgy. NPCs who have an orientation partially incompatible with the PC (such as Lean Homo with different genders) are nearly impossible to romance with Loyal Friend/Affable due to the Like point gain being ''4'' times as fast as the Love point gain. Limiting all interaction to Erotic talk is extremely slow, but may be the only option that is sure to eventually net you enough Love points to successfully romance them. Their orientation will make it very difficult for the PC to achieve and maintain Horny mood on the NPC, and even if successful, they will still refuse sex, except for specific circumstances. Adding higher levels of Virtue on top of that makes it even more difficult by slashing success chances at the very interactions and mechanics that are the silver lining to romancing Loyal Friend/Affable NPCs.
  
Randomly select those four... Love .. Lewd .. Massage .. Go study with Me .. since this 4 has high chance of success rate.  
+
==What Is Confess And How It Works==
 +
The name Confess can be easily mistaken; it works quite different from Ask To Be Lovers. Confess is an action of showing your affection to the NPC. It is the best way to check NPC's feelings over you, better than using Jizou Statue which often deludes you to mistakes (unless you're familiar with the game's mechanics and know the exact meaning of the statuses it displays). Overall, this is not too useful of an option, given the sheer amount of remaining period time it consumes.
 +
* Vague answers mean he/she is not love in you no matter what Jizou Statue displays.  
 +
* If the reaction is mutual, "I like you too!", this is the sign of he/she is in love with you.  
 +
* NPCs also make confessions to PC and other NPCs but this is not always a reliable source, especially if rumored by a third person.
  
====If she seems down or upset====
+
==Jizou Statue==
Either choose Encourage, Calm or Praise. You will know that the mood or the atmosphere changes if you succeed.
+
Jizou Statue (or Buddhist Statue) which is located at the back of the Kendo/Martial Arts Club will provide you with information about how are others thinking about you or NPCs. The Statue will display a randomly chosen status out of a maximum of 4 that can be held by one person toward the other at a time. It is recommended to check the status multiple times to get the really big picture about someone's feelings for others, including you.
  
[[File:AA2_Quick_H_Encourage.jpg|Chat]]
+
Steps toward love: (to heterosexual female NPC by heterosexual male PC or vice versa)
  
Once you trigger high Percentage like 120 percent to 230 percent: Skip or hit the bottom right box to advance the time.
+
* Don't know, is the initial status if you starting interaction for the first time. This could also indicate that the person has a little hate towards you. Try Grumble or doing mild conversations more with person until it changes to another status. Remember to use Praise after each time period (Class, Lessons, etc.) or after each meaningfully deep conversations to get them to love you, just remember DO NOT REPEAT ANY ACTIONS MORE THAN 3 TIMES (This includes Praise). Each Period gives you a maximum of 3 times on each actions you do.
  
[[File:AA2 Quick H Advance.jpg|800px|Advance time]]
+
* I'm Curious, after successfully get a person to like you, this status will appear, often in which a person loves you a bit or more (you flirt them to much) but not having a greater like towards you, you can erase this status just by talking to them daily, do normal conversations.
  
Continue with this for 1 - 3 days using this method without flirting. Just keep repeating it until you notice a sudden increase of percentage or if you visit the statue:
+
* I Think I like them, don't confess or ask to be lovers at this point, this is more likely 25-50% love, you will likely get vague answer.
  
[[File:AA2_Quick_H_Statue.jpg|Statue]]
+
* Overflowing Love, usually from 'I Think I like them', it jumps into this status, this is the safest and accurate time to confess your feelings. If relationship is at this stage and they don't have a lover then they will always accept to become your lover if you ask them.
  
*Tip 1 : If the girl/guy always interrupts a conversation Even she/he is not your bf/gf im pretty sure his/her status is this one so if you acquired this status proceed to step 2
+
* Hate But Love, an annoying status, if grumble does not work, use praise and casual conversations often to erase this status.
*Tip 2 : Ignore the sudden changes at Statue. Skip the day and just repeat the step 1 until "I think I like them " appears.
 
*Tip 3 : if you have 1000 pain or Unforgivable or any word desc Hate ..dont hesitate to evict the character then place her again doing this will reset .. this is time saver ( yes i know its also a cheat and game breaking but if you just after the h-scene then abuse this method until Illusion or modders release a Fan Service Patch )
 
  
===Step 2: Start flirting===
+
* Really Pisses Me Off, if you get this status it's because you reject the character so much as they start to get angry about you, there is no hate, they just pissed off you reject them so much. Neutralize this with calm (if it did not have 0% effectiveness), if not, try to accept their actions toward you onward, or approach them by conversations.
Flirting is (Kiss, Hug, Touch etc), but don't use Sex as this chance is low will result to make her hate you.
 
  
====How to====
+
More Tips: Take care not to repeat conversations more than 3 times as that will decrease love on the person you want and increase hate on both side. Use Calm if he/she angry, or grumble if he/she shows disinterest toward you to neutralize this, which give you another tiring time to get him/her to like you again. Load up the savegame again if you think you messed up so bad.
Do this: Love > Lewd > Stop ( When You See Blushing or Embarrass ) use the Flirting but if not successful, skip time as above. Then repeat again Love > Lewd > ( once you see her blush ). If you notice a continuous success at flirting or love button: Confess to her.
 
  
Listen carefully to what she say
+
==Gauging the NPC's favorability without the Jizou statue==
If she said me too I love you .. this is the right time you make her girlfriend or sometimes it automatically confess to you and ask if you want to be her bf/gf.
+
If you know what and how influences the success rates of certain interactions at any given moment, you can quickly gauge the base success rates for all interactions that depend on factors specific to this NPC. From there, you can observe how, as you build your relationship, these base rates increase, and this increase is the most reliable way to approximate the amount of Like/Love points this NPC has for the PC as the success rates for various interactions are directly tied to Like, Love, Dislike and Hate. Once you max out Like or Love with a character, their dialogue upon approaching them will change, with different dialogue for maxed Like and Love. Once you see the NPC get visibly lovey-dovey with you (the exact reaction depends highly on the specific NPC's personality) when you approach them, that's the cue to ask them to be lovers (optionally, you can Confess beforehand just to be sure), or just try to bed them if they're in the right mood and their virtue allows. Once you get a feel for the typical relationship progress in Artificial Academy 2, you'll easily go from strangers to star-crossed lovers with pretty much any NPC without turning to the Jizou statue once.
  
====Ecchi! (H)====
+
=Quick Guide on Making a Pervert Character=
Repeat Love > Lewd > Flirt > Come With Me > Find a Secret Room Where Can You do H. H mode might fail, but the chance is high if she/he in relationship. Try it without any doubts since she is already your gf there is no risks losing the girl or starting from start.  
+
To make a pervert character who can have sex from the first day, give a character the lowest virtue, the <span style="color:blue">Lewd</span>/<span style="color:red">Perverted</span> trait and either <span style="color:blue">Passionate</span>/<span style="color:red">Romantic</span> or Easygoing. Higher sociability makes it easier to interact at the cost of frequent interruptions.
  
===Step 2.1: Optional===
+
In the game, use Love and Ero topic to increase Love points and Horniness. The success chance for sex even as the first interaction ever is 80% already and the Horny mood will triple it. They can be got on sex as Sex Friends without the requirement of being lovers but H compatibility will diminish by time unless you maintain it by more sex. Lover relationship prevents losing H compatibility but they will still seek other NPCs to meet their needs. They are perverts after all.
Do a public H (don't do it with a teacher as she might be expelled). If you are seen by other classmates their status will change into Wanna Fuck and they sometimes will approach you and ask for H.
 
[[File:AA2 Quick H Wanna.png|800px|Wanna]]
 
 
 
===Step 3: Repeat Step 1 To 2===
 
This is the hardest step because most NPC are irritable as your relationships increase. They will interrupt you and stalk you.
 
 
 
[[File:AA2 Quick H Cheater.jpg|800px|Cheater]]
 
 
 
But fear not just ignore them and focus on your next target. Being discovered will not affect or leads to break up, but your status will become Unforgivable or Cheater. It can be cured by waiting 1 week without doing anything or wait them to ask you for a date.
 
 
 
=My guide of Secret love life=
 
If you are only male charactor in the game there are a way to make you love life all secret with no status change even you get full interactions with every girl
 
 
 
* Make your male charactor with "Deaf" Trait. Deaf will help alot by answer "Huh?" at every girl sudden interactions. it nearly has no effect in your relationship
 
 
 
* Make your male charactor Rainbow card. You will run at ridiculously fast speed that outrun every girl ingame (not another Rainbow with full Sport stat of course) and you will easily escape when they all surround you with the girl you wanna do interactions too
 
 
 
* Don't be hesitate to answer "Huh?" to every girl interactions.Because just one kiss will ruin all the secret
 
 
 
* If you are the only male "Boy's Toilet" and "Boy's Changing room" will be the place no girl will enter. So it's the best place to do interactions without any interupt or be seen. But if your relationship not high enough she will refuse to get inside So try to daily talk till you get 80% or more when you ask them to follow you (some girl type can be at 70% or lower, Just try) before you drag her in there
 
 
 
* After get inside if she still follow you she will not try to runaway, so feel free to position her on screen for easily click. After you ready,Click at the girl and do interactions you want. After conversations end, quickly click on the girl again and start another interactions. and repeat as you like
 
 
 
* This way the girl will has no time to runaway out of the room. And your interactions or even sex will not be seen or interupt by any other girl
 
 
 
* Also, if you can get her to follow you into Boy's room (about 80-100%+ when ask to follow you) that's mean she will be willing to follow you into secret place too (only few girl type may still refues) so you can drag them into Boy's room secret place for sex too (if it's Boy Shower's Secret place. you will get nice effect of shiny skin to both of you too)
 
 
 
* If you don't do anything outside Boy's room accept normal talk, your love stat will never change to "Cheater" or anything. Just make sure not to ignore a girl too long. and if you mess up by kissing someone in public, Load the Save and don't do it again
 
 
 
=Basic Advice=
 
For those who are having trouble with character interactions (racking up a lot of 0% and making classmates angry):
 
  
Initiate conversations using friendly conversation (the word bubble icon and it's sub options). If one doesn't work, try a different one and there's a good chance that one will succeed where the other failed.
+
=Making a healthy love triangle or harem=
 +
If you want to have a love triangle or a harem where nobody feels cheated then you have to get everyone to be lovers. Use "Try to get along with" and "I have a good rumor" option on characters that are conflicting. It is very useful to use "Praise" to put them into a happy mood as this not only helps the various characters get on with each other but it also increases the chances of successfully telling them good rumors about each other.
  
If you initiate conversation and the person looks troubled, sad, etc. use the top dialogue icon (portrait of a boy with a speech bubble at his mouth) and it's sub options to resolve the problem. Cheer them up, calm them down, praise them, etc. until you succeed by choosing the correct one. Once you get the correct one and you improve their mood or remove negative effects, talk to them again and use the friendly conversation options (word bubble icon). Having a successful conversation segment after helping a classmate feel better will grant a substantial % boost.
+
Remember that High virtue characters are reluctant to form multiple romantic relationships and characters with Highest virtue won't allow it unless the player controls them manually.
  
A good way to gain favorability with someone is by cheering them up or calming them down when they're sad or angry. Each personality can show their sadness or anger in different ways, though there are some minor tells that are universal.
+
=Breaking Up The Relationship=
 +
Ending the relationship may be more difficult than simply clicking 'Let's break up'. The success rate of this depends as much on your own character's feelings as the other character's; if your love is still high, the other character won't believe you mean it. Spamming this option will gradually grind down both character's favorability toward each other, but will also ensure lingering hatred.
  
===Sadness===
+
* Breaking up the quick and nasty way
Sad characters have a noticeable tell even before you speak to them: They may walk around the map extremely slowly, much slower than their normal walking speed. This is often the best indicator of sadness. Starting a conversation with a sad character may give you a mood-specific greeting message (usually a sigh or silence), and the character's eyebrows may be slanted upwards. The eyebrows are the best indicator within a conversation, since some personalities ('''Harsh''' and '''Joyful''' come to mind) use the same greeting message for each mood.

** ignore your lover in every way other than to attempt breaking up. Engage other characters in a way that shows interest, so your lover will interrupt. Flirting with another will decrease their love for you, and the interrupt will decrease your love for the character. Getting the Cheater flag by hugging/kissing/groping/H in front of your lover will speed this up, not only decreasing love for the event, but your lover will check up on you more often, making them more likely to interrupt. The Cheater status also makes them more likely to offer public affection, which you can reject.
  
Checking the Jizou Statue often will also help: A character who gets rejected frequently will need frequent cheering up.

===Anger===
+
=How To Recover From Being Hated=
Anger doesn't appear to have a tell outside of conversations (could be running faster than usual to counteract the slower walk of sadness?), though it's much more noticeable within conversations. The character will have "angry eyebrows" (slanted downward) and may give a more hostile greeting than usual. Like sadness, the eyebrows are the best indicator.
+
As Hate points reach the considerable level, interactions with NPC may not be possible due to low success rate.
  
Checking the Jizou Statue often will also help: A character who frequently gets into fights or a character who has many enemies will need frequent calming down.
+
*[[File:Influence_button.jpg|24px]]Grumble can be used to fix this problem. It soothes the character's feeling toward you, and is repeatable multiple times. Repeat Grumble until success rate gets into viable stage.
  
===Praise/Hug===
+
*Use Praise and Talk to build up the relationship. The method is simple but may take many repetitions to fully recover. High popularity will also help the process.
These will also clear bad moods, but also reduce the effect of your limited Praises and Hugs with this character. A failure may still clear a bad mood, but later uses of the option will be reduced more drastically, dropping the third attempt to 0% success even if the second succeeds. A failed Hug also runs the risk of angering the character at you specifically. Because of these drawbacks, Praise and Hugs aren't the preferable options, but may become worth the risk if you've already failed two or more attempts at Encourage or Calm.
 
  
==Breaking Up==
+
*If a character is on good terms with both of you then you can ask him/her for help with getting along with the NPC.
Ending the relationship may be more difficult than simply clicking the 'Let's break up' option. The success of this depends as much on your own character's feelings as the other character's; if your love is still high, the other character won't believe you mean it. Spamming this option will gradually grind down both character's favorability toward each other, but will also ensure lingering hatred.
 
  
Breaking up the quick and nasty way: ignore your lover in every way other than to attempt breaking up. Engage other characters in a way that shows interest, so your lover will interrupt. Flirting with another will decrease their love for you, and the interrupt will decrease your love for the character. Getting the Cheater flag by hugging/kissing/groping/H in front of your lover will speed this up, not only decreasing love for the event, but your lover will check up on you more often, making them more likely to interrupt. The Cheater status also makes them more likely to offer public affection, which you can reject.
+
*Not interacting with the NPC that hates you will eventually replace the Hate points with Dislike points, but it's a slow process.
  
Breaking up gracefully: Make small talk when together, talk about life/hobbies/food, anything other than love or lust. Take them out to the arcade one-on-one, and only go out to karaoke or dinner with them if you're in a group. If they get too affectionate, you could lecture them on sex. It's more productive to lecture them on a serious activity, then take them to do that; this helps develop your stats while replacing Love with Like. If the character's Virtue is low, you may try to acquire the Cheater status to see if they'll take another lover, who they would seek out for affection rather than you. If Like is still high when Love has diminished enough, then Encouraging the character after breaking up with them will keep your acquaintance friendly. You may be able to make a Sex Friend of them. This method best preserves your popularity score.

=Escaping murder=
 +
If there's another NPC targeted for murder aside from you then you can hide in the bathroom opposite of the Evil NPC's gender and the said NPC will kill its other target, getting caught in the process unless it has the "Lucky" trait.

If possible, you can also have H in a secret place while the Evil NPC kills its other target.
[[File:Relaxing after club.jpeg|thumbnail|Class relaxes after a club meeting]]
 
Using the 3P feature, you can create an orgy, but it takes time, patience and frequent use of JG2ChrData.exe.
 
I have been experimenting with this and this is the method I found that works best, there may be other ways.
 
# I used the frontier pack v3.0b AA2Play English launcher.
 
# Start with three students 1 boy 2 girls and a teacher.  
 
  
Teacher:
+
=Table of H-caught reactions=
# The teacher stays out of it. I tried but could not get the teacher to participate without causing negative complications.  
+
Here are the different probabilities of a character's reaction based on his personnality and virtue.
# To keep the teacher out of it, what works best is Female, Quiet, Hetero, lowest social, highest virtue, easygoing, obedient, shy, calm, serious, passive, and lucky (she'll need it if you get carried away in public).
+
{| class="wikitable sortable"
# You can add other traits, particularly if you also want to have an affair with her, but you will have to make her exploitable and force her, or force a 999% response to sex by selecting sex while holding the right mouse button. Because of this it is difficult to tell when her high risk days are so I made all of her days no risk. The activities of your affair would need to be private and hidden from the other students.

How to Get the Orgy Going
+
[[File:Talk_LLDH_effects.png]]
[[File:Change partners.jpg|thumbnail|After changing partners]]
 
# As mentioned in 3P above, get all characters being lovers with each other. Now add another Female have her become lovers with everyone. Keep adding females. I have so far gotten up to 9 female students. The more females you have the longer it takes to integrate a new one.
 
# Between days save, end the game, and go to JG2ChrData.exe. Change all the Dislike, Like and Hate flags to Love in all characters including the teacher. The most hate flags appear when when a new member is working to become everyone's lover. Without a preponderance of Love flags, orgy will not happen.
 
# Best time for orgy is after club. That is when the students have the time to fool around. Just stand there and wait for it to start happening. Then pick a partner who is not involved yet and start H.
 
# Use the down arrow to minimize the picture of your H activity and the other arrows to move it up or to the side so you can see what everyone else is doing.
 
# You will sometimes be interrupted by someone wanting 3P. This gives you a chance to change partners, but if it happens too often it is annoying. If everyone is engaged you can go quite a while with one partner.
 
# You can end off your H session, wait for a girl to fall out of her H session and take up with her. You can go find a girl in another part of the school and take her to the room where the orgy is going on and start with her.
 
# You can also start it by beginning an H session with someone in a common area like the courtyard, Gym, main gate or outside train station. Then wait for other students to gather round, and join in. After trying various things you will see how best to do it with your group. Sometimes the girls will all leave the club room and go start it somewhere else. You will need to go find where the action is.
 
# If you don't want to keep adjusting Love flags, then get everyone to be lovers with all love flags adjusted. Play the game and do not save at the end. the love flags will stay adjusted.
 
# Theoretically you could continue until you had a full class but that would take a lot of time and work and you will probably find the sweet spot at a certain number.
 
# I tried introducing another bisexual man and another Homo man but neither worked well. The men were accepted but there were a lot more hate and dislike flags among the girls, and it was more difficult to get an orgy going. It may be that this needs a pivotal central character to work and that being one man.
 
# I am currently experimenting with having one female who is a lover to the man but not lovers with the other girls. She is bisexual with all the same traits, etc. but add singleminded. She is Kind which seems to be the most accepting personality. This seems to work so far. She participates only with the man and watches or masturbates when the man switches off to someone else. I will see, in time, if she gets corrupted. I tried it with a hetero female but all the other girls hated her and that caused a disturbance in the force.

FAQ

  • Q: Why can't I have sex with a character I'm going out with?!?
    A: This could be for a number of reasons depending on the trait and virtues. But some things to keep in mind are that the virtue level exponentially increases the difficulty to initiate sex for the first time. Also if the character is a teacher, it increases the difficulty to initiate sex for the first time. Finally, if the character is a virgin, it increases the difficulty to initiate sex the first time. Keep this is mind when making characters.
  • Q: How can I initiate sex the first time if my character is like that???
    A: If he/she is your lover then you can coerce them into having sex, and that will get rid of their virginity, removing some of the difficulty. Also, taking them to the love hotel for sex seems to have a better chance of success than asking them to do it at the school. If you can't have non consensual sex with the character than try having sex with another character that likes you and getting caught in the act. This will lead to the 2 characters asking you to choose between them. Then, choose the character who you have been trying to initiate sex with. This should lead to an immediate H-scene between you and that character. Other than that, it is just going take a lot of time with that character before they'll let you have sex with them or they'll initiate the sex themselves.
  • Q: How do I know if I am being brought to a private room or a public room?
    A: If a character wants to bring you to a private room, they will blush. If they aren't blushing, it's a public room.
  • Q: What things to avoid being hated by other love interests?
    A: Being caught flirting (Praise, Love Conversation, etc. with the condition that the love interest is looking at you) with other girls will also negatively affect the relationship with your love interest. Interrupting Love conversations will also increase hate points with the interrupted towards the person who interrupts. (If they have "Love Rivals" Status, there won't be any hate)

Basic Advice for Successful Interactions

For those who are having trouble with character interactions (racking up a lot of 0% and making classmates angry):

  • Initiate conversations using friendly topics. Failing won't decrease the NPC's opinion of you so just try another one with better chance.
  • Be cautious, repeating the same topic over three times will end by boring the NPC.
  • Combine your interactions. Using the same interaction twice in a row will result in decreased success rate for the second.
  • Praise is a fail-safe option unless the NPC hates you, improving favorability even if it fails (as long as the success chance was above 0%) and offering a decent chance to lift the mood into Happy or Blush, depending on the NPC's opinion of you. However, it costs a lot of time, skipping a noticeably bigger part of a period than most other interactions.
  • If the NPC's sad or angry use "Encourage" or "Calm" to resolve the problem.
  • "Encourage" and "Calm" are also good ways to gain favorability. Use it whenever you find the NPC in a bad mood.

Basic Guide On How To Succeed In Relationships

Having a full-hetero female or male means it will be hard to increase like with, while love progress is more effective. A bisexual person's love and like increase is balanced, while a full homosexual person will get you "friendzoned" if you are the opposite gender. Lean hetero will more likely be harder to increase love. You will end up in a one-sided love if you are being too aggressive. Always keep in mind what kind of sexual orientation your target is.

Mutual Relationship

Relationship is like playing catch ball. You can repeat one-way action but you can also induce their reactions to build it more mutual and effective.

  • Use the advantage of interactions from NPC to PC. You can always get the best result from it as long as you choose a right answer.
  • Give NPCs a time after your action is finished. If NPC is about to leave, hold them and take your turn.

Mood

Mood is a key point in interactions. If the NPC is in a bad mood, it's best to resolve that issue before trying to get them Happy, Blushing or Horny. A Happy mood grants better success chances to most interactions and makes it easier to transition into Blush or Horny.

  • Critical success (big horn sound) in interactions has higher a chance of changing the mood into desired stage. ex) normal -> happy, happy -> blush or horny
  • BGM reflects overall atmosphere in your area, resulted from the mood of every present NPC.

Reading the Room

Aside from the immersion effect, the overall mood reflected by the BGM affects success chances of certain interactions. The effects that have been observed so far are:

  • Tense/Jealous/Angry: x50% multiplier on the success chance of all Contact interactions.
  • Blush: x120% multiplier on the success chance of all Contact interactions.
  • Horny: x150% multiplier on the success chance of Erotic talk and all Contact interactions.

These multipliers are applied on top of those invoked by the personal mood of the specific NPC you're talking to. For instance, if the NPC themself is in the Blush mood, but the BGM is that for the Tense mood, the success rate for, for instance, Caress will be (150% from Blush x 50% from Tense BGM) 75% that of the base rate. As a result, it is rather important to account for atmosphere when interacting with someone, and it's even worth it to lead someone away from the location they were in if the overall mood shows no signs of changing. If you are alone in a location with an NPC that's Blushing or Horny, the music will change accordingly sooner rather than later, providing you buffs to success rates of important interactions.
It's important to note that when the overall mood changes, the music gradually fades from one track to the other. The exact moment the mood multipliers from the music apply is when the previous soundtrack begins fading out, so it's better to wait until you can hear the next soundtrack to decide your course of action.
Disabling the background music in the ingame settings does not nullify the effect of the overall mood on the interactions.

The Way of Flirt

The increase of points is mostly affected by sexual orientation (ex: NPC is a lean-homo girl and the PC is a hetero man. The increase of the girl's Love points for the guy will be visibly lower than that of Like, while the guy will only develop Love for the girl at a normal rate).

It is easier to make best friends with heterosexuals of the same gender than of the different gender. Bisexual has the most balanced love/like increase in the game. You can easily get them as your best friend or lover.

  • Conversation is the basic way to build the points. Have Some Fun, Go To Eat, Go To Karaoke build much faster but have lower chances of success.
  • If NPC has built enough love points toward PC, his/her mood may change into "Blush" when Love conversation is successfully made.
  • At this stage, Erotic topic will be more successful and may put the NPC into a Horny mood, unless the character happens to have an Asexual trait. Also, the base chance of success of Erotic talk goes down as the NPC's virtue goes up. Take into account as well, that Horny is the only mood that increases the success chance of Erotic talk; Blush will decrease it.
  • Caress, Hug, Kiss are high risk, high reward options. They will damage the relationship on failure without enough intimacy and their base success rates are very low without the increase from accumulated Love, so save those headpats until the NPC has at least a moderate level of Love for the PC. However, once the necessary Love levels have been reached, Caress becomes instrumental in progressing the relationship. Hug, Kiss and Touch are best saved for both sufficient intimacy and when the NPC is in the Horny mood. Once you learn the success rate correlations between different interactions, you can use Caress, Hug, Kiss and Touch to great effect.
  • Characters with Faithful/Singleminded trait refuse Close Contacts other than Caress with non-lovers.

What Makes Flirting Difficult

  • Incompatible orientation. Even Lean Homo (for different genders of PC and NPC) or Lean Hetero (otherwise) characters are considerably more difficult to romance than Bisexual characters or those of a more compatible orientation and require a special effort to bed on top of that presented by other factors, such as virtue. NPCs of a purely incompatible orientation with the PC are completely impossible to romance.
  • Low sociability decreases success chances on most interactions. There's no qualitative difficulty increase with this, it just forces you to spend more time getting the NPC to open up to you, and possibly compensating more penalties from failed Love talk and whatnot; Lowest sociability NPCs that barely know the PC, even in the Happy mood, still have rather low success chances even on Talk interactions, which includes Love.
  • Bad With (whatever gender the PC is) trait. Same thing here as with low sociability, but instead of lowered success chances, it halves the Like and Love point gain for successful interactions. This is still a lesser evil than low sociability because it doesn't damage the consistency of your romantic progress with said NPC, it just makes it half as fast.
  • High virtue makes it increasingly difficult to get the NPC into the Horny mood, be it through Erotic talk or other means. Highest virtue NPCs will have low base success rates on Erotic talk even at a maxed Love level. High and Highest virtue NPCs run away from any erotic scene, preventing you from casually romancing them while there are three couples having sex nearby, making this mechanic more difficult to exploit. Usually, this isn't as much as an increase in romancing difficulty as it is in time it will take to do so, limiting you to more conservative options such as Love talk and relying on the Blush mood instead of Horny, unless there are also certain traits at play (see below).
  • Faithful/Singleminded NPCs lock you out of close contact interactions until you're lovers. This slows you down on the last leg of your effort to win them over, but as a reward, if you're the first to claim them, you have a lover who won't let anyone else as much as hug them until you break up (if the NPC is also Exploitable, Deceptive/Scheming NPCs still may or may not be able to force them into sex anyway).
  • Violent or Pessimistic/Melancholy traits. They cause the NPC to enter unfavorable moods more often, making romance more difficult through decreased success chances and making it more difficult to put them in a mood that's more beneficial for romantic progress. Trying to talk them out of bad mood is not an assured success until you're already on better terms.
  • A class that doesn't get along overall will make it less likely that the NPC you're trying to score with will happen to be in the Blush or Horny mood without your prior input, and more likely that they will be in a bad mood, slowing your progress down. Also, a "bad" class is prone to "poison" locations with bad overall mood and atmosphere, decreasing your success chances at romantic interactions further.
  • The Loyal Friend/Affable trait is a curse in disguise depending on the sexual orientation of the NPC you're trying to romance. It doubles the amount of Like points the NPC gets from interacting with others, possibly rendering the usual romance algorithms unusable because the Love/Like/Dislike/Hate point distribution will be skewed in the "Like" direction, causing even Bisexual characters to friendzone you rather quickly. This has no effect on NPCs whose orientation prevents them from getting Like points for the PC in the first place and is manageable if their orientation halves the Like point gain (for instance, if the NPC is a different gender from the PC and is Lean Hetero). Bisexual NPCs is where it gets difficult. You have to focus on getting the NPC into the Blush or Horny mood and try to perform most interactions while they're hot and bothered to reap the most of the doubled Love point gain associated with the Blush and Horny moods. Limit the interactions that make the NPC gain Like points as much as possible. Exploit every opportunity to make the NPC Horny without spending attempts at Erotic talk (as you're limited to 3 per period), such as a nearby orgy. NPCs who have an orientation partially incompatible with the PC (such as Lean Homo with different genders) are nearly impossible to romance with Loyal Friend/Affable due to the Like point gain being 4 times as fast as the Love point gain. Limiting all interaction to Erotic talk is extremely slow, but may be the only option that is sure to eventually net you enough Love points to successfully romance them. Their orientation will make it very difficult for the PC to achieve and maintain Horny mood on the NPC, and even if successful, they will still refuse sex, except for specific circumstances. Adding higher levels of Virtue on top of that makes it even more difficult by slashing success chances at the very interactions and mechanics that are the silver lining to romancing Loyal Friend/Affable NPCs.

What Is Confess And How It Works

The name Confess can be easily mistaken; it works quite different from Ask To Be Lovers. Confess is an action of showing your affection to the NPC. It is the best way to check NPC's feelings over you, better than using Jizou Statue which often deludes you to mistakes (unless you're familiar with the game's mechanics and know the exact meaning of the statuses it displays). Overall, this is not too useful of an option, given the sheer amount of remaining period time it consumes.

  • Vague answers mean he/she is not love in you no matter what Jizou Statue displays.
  • If the reaction is mutual, "I like you too!", this is the sign of he/she is in love with you.
  • NPCs also make confessions to PC and other NPCs but this is not always a reliable source, especially if rumored by a third person.

Jizou Statue

Jizou Statue (or Buddhist Statue) which is located at the back of the Kendo/Martial Arts Club will provide you with information about how are others thinking about you or NPCs. The Statue will display a randomly chosen status out of a maximum of 4 that can be held by one person toward the other at a time. It is recommended to check the status multiple times to get the really big picture about someone's feelings for others, including you.

Steps toward love: (to heterosexual female NPC by heterosexual male PC or vice versa)

  • Don't know, is the initial status if you starting interaction for the first time. This could also indicate that the person has a little hate towards you. Try Grumble or doing mild conversations more with person until it changes to another status. Remember to use Praise after each time period (Class, Lessons, etc.) or after each meaningfully deep conversations to get them to love you, just remember DO NOT REPEAT ANY ACTIONS MORE THAN 3 TIMES (This includes Praise). Each Period gives you a maximum of 3 times on each actions you do.
  • I'm Curious, after successfully get a person to like you, this status will appear, often in which a person loves you a bit or more (you flirt them to much) but not having a greater like towards you, you can erase this status just by talking to them daily, do normal conversations.
  • I Think I like them, don't confess or ask to be lovers at this point, this is more likely 25-50% love, you will likely get vague answer.
  • Overflowing Love, usually from 'I Think I like them', it jumps into this status, this is the safest and accurate time to confess your feelings. If relationship is at this stage and they don't have a lover then they will always accept to become your lover if you ask them.
  • Hate But Love, an annoying status, if grumble does not work, use praise and casual conversations often to erase this status.
  • Really Pisses Me Off, if you get this status it's because you reject the character so much as they start to get angry about you, there is no hate, they just pissed off you reject them so much. Neutralize this with calm (if it did not have 0% effectiveness), if not, try to accept their actions toward you onward, or approach them by conversations.

More Tips: Take care not to repeat conversations more than 3 times as that will decrease love on the person you want and increase hate on both side. Use Calm if he/she angry, or grumble if he/she shows disinterest toward you to neutralize this, which give you another tiring time to get him/her to like you again. Load up the savegame again if you think you messed up so bad.

Gauging the NPC's favorability without the Jizou statue

If you know what and how influences the success rates of certain interactions at any given moment, you can quickly gauge the base success rates for all interactions that depend on factors specific to this NPC. From there, you can observe how, as you build your relationship, these base rates increase, and this increase is the most reliable way to approximate the amount of Like/Love points this NPC has for the PC as the success rates for various interactions are directly tied to Like, Love, Dislike and Hate. Once you max out Like or Love with a character, their dialogue upon approaching them will change, with different dialogue for maxed Like and Love. Once you see the NPC get visibly lovey-dovey with you (the exact reaction depends highly on the specific NPC's personality) when you approach them, that's the cue to ask them to be lovers (optionally, you can Confess beforehand just to be sure), or just try to bed them if they're in the right mood and their virtue allows. Once you get a feel for the typical relationship progress in Artificial Academy 2, you'll easily go from strangers to star-crossed lovers with pretty much any NPC without turning to the Jizou statue once.

Quick Guide on Making a Pervert Character

To make a pervert character who can have sex from the first day, give a character the lowest virtue, the Lewd/Perverted trait and either Passionate/Romantic or Easygoing. Higher sociability makes it easier to interact at the cost of frequent interruptions.

In the game, use Love and Ero topic to increase Love points and Horniness. The success chance for sex even as the first interaction ever is 80% already and the Horny mood will triple it. They can be got on sex as Sex Friends without the requirement of being lovers but H compatibility will diminish by time unless you maintain it by more sex. Lover relationship prevents losing H compatibility but they will still seek other NPCs to meet their needs. They are perverts after all.

Making a healthy love triangle or harem

If you want to have a love triangle or a harem where nobody feels cheated then you have to get everyone to be lovers. Use "Try to get along with" and "I have a good rumor" option on characters that are conflicting. It is very useful to use "Praise" to put them into a happy mood as this not only helps the various characters get on with each other but it also increases the chances of successfully telling them good rumors about each other.

Remember that High virtue characters are reluctant to form multiple romantic relationships and characters with Highest virtue won't allow it unless the player controls them manually.

Breaking Up The Relationship

Ending the relationship may be more difficult than simply clicking 'Let's break up'. The success rate of this depends as much on your own character's feelings as the other character's; if your love is still high, the other character won't believe you mean it. Spamming this option will gradually grind down both character's favorability toward each other, but will also ensure lingering hatred.

  • Breaking up the quick and nasty way
    • ignore your lover in every way other than to attempt breaking up. Engage other characters in a way that shows interest, so your lover will interrupt. Flirting with another will decrease their love for you, and the interrupt will decrease your love for the character. Getting the Cheater flag by hugging/kissing/groping/H in front of your lover will speed this up, not only decreasing love for the event, but your lover will check up on you more often, making them more likely to interrupt. The Cheater status also makes them more likely to offer public affection, which you can reject.
  • Breaking up gracefully
    • If the character's Virtue is low, you may try to acquire the Cheater status to see if they'll take another lover, who they would seek out for affection rather than you. If Like is still high when Love has diminished enough, then Encouraging the character after breaking up with them will keep your acquaintance friendly. You may be able to make a Sex Friend of them. This method best preserves your popularity score.

How To Recover From Being Hated

As Hate points reach the considerable level, interactions with NPC may not be possible due to low success rate.

  • Influence button.jpgGrumble can be used to fix this problem. It soothes the character's feeling toward you, and is repeatable multiple times. Repeat Grumble until success rate gets into viable stage.
  • Use Praise and Talk to build up the relationship. The method is simple but may take many repetitions to fully recover. High popularity will also help the process.
  • If a character is on good terms with both of you then you can ask him/her for help with getting along with the NPC.
  • Not interacting with the NPC that hates you will eventually replace the Hate points with Dislike points, but it's a slow process.

Escaping murder

If there's another NPC targeted for murder aside from you then you can hide in the bathroom opposite of the Evil NPC's gender and the said NPC will kill its other target, getting caught in the process unless it has the "Lucky" trait.

If possible, you can also have H in a secret place while the Evil NPC kills its other target.
