Brave Soul

Brave Soul

It is a world very different from ours, a world in which magic exists, a world where peasants labor under the burden of heavy taxes imposed upon them by the unfair rulers of the land. Although the commoners have a difficult lot, there are those among them with the strenth to use his sword and make a name for himself – an adventurer. To be an adventurer is the dream of every peasant.

The story details the journey of a young man who was raised in the countryside of Souvania, on the continent of Valencia. Disowned by his own father and forced to make his way in life, he chooses to become a Hunter, a mercenary who accepts jobs for a variety of adventures. Heading into town to officially join the Hunter’s Guild with his dragon Shell at his side, he happens across a mysterious girl who looks strikingly like the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess… Ever since he was young, a beautiful girl appears before him on nights of a full moon. Because of the mysterious manner of her appearance, he gave her her unique name. With the mysterious girl Alicia and dragon Shell at his side, as well as new characters he will join with later, our hero embarks on many bold adventures. But will he ever be able to solve the bizarre mystery of the beautiful Moon Goddess standing in the lake…?

This game is quite old - try to run it in windows98 compatibility mode... or maybe it has some codecs missing?...
(T_T)Reply
I've downloaded the game but don't know what to do now, as the installer is Japanese. please help!
adminReply
This is English release, so installer should be in English.
You probably has japanese locale set up - if you switch it back to English you should get English installer.
XDboredReply
i have english locale and still jap installer maybe it needs to be the right english locale like us or uk pls help
EroGuyReply
You shouldn't need to run the installer. Just run brave_s.exe and the game should start.

how do i save this game ?
there is no save button
so every time i have to start over?
adminReply
You can save only in certain places AFAIR.
no voiceReply
what do u mean?\
Chitsu-chanReply
When and how can you save then? Because i'm having that problem and i had to start all over. :(
Chitsu-chanReply
I found it on hongfire, after you've stayed at the inn the first time you talk to the innkeeper and he'll give you the option to rest or save/load.
So glad i found that thread. xP

I extracted the .rar file and got a folder. I located the "brave_s.exe" file, and it started the game. I haven't actually started playing it, but everything seems to be working.

Where I get confused is, why is there an "INSTALL.EXE" if I can already start the game?

Are these files and folders the contents of the original CD/DVD? Should I burn them to a disc/iso and then run that "INSTALL.EXE" to do it the "right" way?

I'm not complaining, or trying to make problems, I'm just trying to figure out what I'm looking at.

I have the same problem as Iron. When I run the Brave Soul Application I pick the settings and then start, once started the words begin to scroll up the screen leaving text trails. I also can't get to the main menu, so I can't play. Sometimes I hit enter and it plays video.
DecadenceReply
Please help with this problem if you have any ideas they would be appreciated. By the way, I meant plays a opening video thing.
dmmReply
i heard sum1 say tht it wont work on some of the new pc... idk
dmmReply
i try to start it but as soon as the game comes up and error comes up.
dmmReply
decadence i just got it to work.. ok try this there are two icon to click on to strat the game .. try to delete one of them.. i delete the brave_s one ... and i keep the brave_s.exe one ... after i detele brave_s i click on brave_s.exe and the game came up ....so try tht
DecadenceReply
Dmm not really sure what you mean but, thanks anyway. Also yeah you may be right about it not working on new computers, because it worked on my older one but doesn't on the new one I got recently. :( Anyway when I try using different compatibility settings for windows, it says "File not found: cgdb" and then also says "File not found: Item" or something to that effect. I have both the files and it starts when I just play normally but it doesn't go to main menu so I can't play like I said before.
DecadenceReply
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, how do you get the installer to be in English (if you can)?
adminReply
Installer pulls it's language from your system locale, so if you changed it to japanese ( to play some other game), then you need to change it back for this one.
ReiasReply
I had the same problem until I noticed you don't need to install it really, just ignore the install.exe and click the Brave_s.exe. This one is more like an unrar and play. It works fine and this way you don't get confused alot.
AstoraReply

I've been having trouble to the point of it becoming a personal conquest!

After downloading and unzipping it I found out that I couldn't install it. I simply get a DOSbox that flickers something about there not being enough memory.

So then I find out that the whole file is already to go in the folder, that doesn't work!

Then I find out that you need the patch from the PeachPrincess website to run it, again this didn't work until somebody mentioned that you have to copy the brave_s folder into c:\Program Files 'without' the brave_s file.

I tried this, reinstalled the patch and was given a new execution file, holding my breath I clicked and got the grey setup window!

I was overjoyed, only to have the thing quit out the moment I click Play...

Since then the trail has gone dead because everybody else managed to play it the moment they installed the patch...

What bought me here is that I tried something that showed me the same boxes as 'Decadence' receaved...

Hopefully I will find some answers, lol

Scrap the last! I have solved the riddle!

This is just a note to anybody else who finds their way here:

If the version you have is from a torrent (isohunt, piratebay, etcetera) it is quite likely the version I was messing about with.

Try the version from this site, it's completely different, it's a direct download rather than a torrent. I just put it on my computer and played it straght off, no patching, no copying, renaming or any nonsense. Just, put it on my hard-drive and played it.

Give it a go.

Game itself is pure shit. The dialogues and the characters are fine though.
MezaraReply
Another dead link whats going on why are all the links dead
adminReply
Copyright claims.
Hotfile is under heavy pressure recently. All links were up for over a year. I'll get new ones - if they dissapear as well i'll look for another host.
GreedReply
Admin when i download using free file hosting
i received a report saying that my IP is already used and
hence can't download.

What am i suppose to do ?
DarkvirusReply
I downloaded it, but for some reason, I can't play the game. All I can do is watch a shitload of text scroll up, while leaving a purple streak.
DarkvirusReply
nvm, it turned out I had to unrar it.

A MUST-DOWNLOAD GAME!

LUCKILY I BOUGHT THE CD LONG AGO AND FINISHED THE WHOLE GAME MANY TIMES AND UNLOCKED EVERY CG AND GAME SECRETS.

Very excellently interesting story. It has everything. RPG, Love-Story, Comedy... also the H part. The game has so many secrets to be unlocked.

Okay I've finally found out how to make Brave Soul run on Windows 7, but there are some problems. If you get Windows XP mode in Windows Virtual PC and get Brave Soul on there it will run, but unfortunately I haven't found a way to get full screen mode to work. If anyone does please post how to.
MicroReply
is it just me or the bs_op.avi is just sound? (black vid) the problem is not just when I run it from inside the game, the file itself (in the AVI folder) is just sound with no vid, though it's .avi, anyone can help?
adminReply
You don't have proper codecs to decode video.
MicroReply
ah I see, thx, any idea what codecs I need or where to get them?
MicroReply
nvm, I noticed someone else had that problem and you told them to run it in compatability mode win98, works fine now, thx
mechafanReply
cant seem to get past the scrolling text then it loops whats going on? im running it in win98 compat mode
DecadenceReply
I have the same problem, it seems to be caused by Windows 7. As far as I know it cannot be fixed, but you can play the game in a virtual PC such as Windows XP Mode.
