romantic time in the latest installment of the game is much harder than before but surprisingly more natural and fun to do, it no longer becomes a passive chore and doesn't drag for too long like any previous installment, so it's rather unpredictable and more realistic when you have to try that much harder to please the girl. it's a bit sadistic but in a good way. ------------------------- - [ Initiation part] when the finger logo will appear at the top of your screen it's your chance to initiate skinship. try to patiently wait and poke her when the public eyes are shutting down to gain a good star that will result into a satisfactory filling of the big orange heart. Some locations are labeled as 'DATE SPOT' and the public eyes there are less strict. there are three levels of strictness, RED/ORANGE/GREEN with RED eyes being the hardest stares to avoid and perform under. to fill the orange heart up the top you have to successfully collect atleast 4/5 stars to go through to the next process otherwise you don't fill in the heart and don't move on. girl's reaction to touching is also unpredictable so be carefully where you touch her cause you might make the girl embarrassed or anxious and she will cut the initiation short. usually the forehead, hair, cheeks and neck are spots that she will appreciate your caress. ------------------------- - [ Caressing part] you no longer get a colored line residue this time to recognize if you are touching a hot spot or not but rather a colorless chain of sparkling stars. you now rather get an idea if you're touching a hotspot by the amount of hearts that float off to the big heart collector. hot spot = many big&normal sized hearts and also "+" hearts that give you extra time and extra points. cold spot = few sporadic single tiny hearts that lead to blue "-" hearts if you continue stroking the cold spot. find a hot spot and start with very small circle and medium to fast speed strokes, continue till the hot spot dries out or it's time to stop and then try to find a different spot. Once you notice a purple heart that comes out while you're stroking a hot spot it means that the spot will soon cool off and if you don't stop stroking in time might result into a sudden big blue "-" heart that will demolish what you collected. if you do stop in time, within a second or two after the purple heart appears you win a "+TIME" heart. If you stop too soon you don't get the "+TIME" heart. a spot can give multiple hearts up to three times so be sure to test the same spot after a purple heart before moving to another postilion. +TIME=when gaining a +TIME heart you receive bonus time that is added to the ticking clock, during this free zone timeline you will be able to collect hearts without having to search for a hot spot or the hearts drying out. Also you can no longer collect up to 5 kisses in one go and without some effort cause a clock is timing you and it's barely enough time to collect one kiss. but you do however now win +TIME points if you perform the physical contact correctly so once so once you master the stroking technique you'll be able to collect more time to gain more kisses and any portion you collect is saved for next time. girl's reaction is now also very unpredictable and she also might initiate a recurrent kissing event herself even if you initially have only collected one kiss. ------------------------- - [.__.]; you will then be given two options, first option is to proceed to skinship, second option is to save the kiss you earned for later. you will be able to use the amount of kisses you've earned the next time you decide to proceed to the kissing part. ([ v0.bug]: you cannot collect kisses if you're in a special trip like the Enoshima trip) - [ Kissing part] this part is now much closer to the techniques used in the first installment(s) of the game. you recognize the type of kiss she wishes from you by the way the girl positions or tilts her head and her eye movements or shimmer. head sideways = cheek head sideways with hand on chin = ear face looking straight eyes closed = one short peck to the lips tilted head downwards with closed eyes = forehead eyebrows arched no eye shimmering = chin to the sides eyebrows arched with eyes shimmering = long kiss to the lips no expression = do nothing till next face To gain the perfect kiss wait for the special moment when she closes here eyes. ------------------------- - (position and requirements might change since these are the correct positions for LP/LP+, please comment to make a change)

When you are on a date you can also "collect" kisses. So, lets say you managed to get a kiss, there is no need to "spend" it right now. You will be asked a question with two possible answers. The first answer will let you kiss the girl immediately. The second answer then lets you continue the game. The next time you enter skinship you start off with the amount of kisses from the previous skinships.
Also, right now I am able to collect two kisses quite easily. My technique is as follows: Do a zig-zag pattern (fast speed) on her face, this lets you find the hot spot easily. Now do a continuos, small circle (small to medium speed only) on that spot. As soon as a purple heart will flow to the left stop the motion immediately, this will end the flow of hearts with a big heart. Continue asap with the zig-zag motion and find the next hot spot.
This works quite well for me with Rinko, try it out!

I tried the zig-zag motion, but with limited success. For me it seems if you pass the hot spot, it disappears when you try to go back to it. Don't suppose you know of a video to link with someone accomplishing it? Maybe I'm going to fast or slow....not sure. It's scary enough trying to pass the evil eyeball check, so I haven't really been experimenting. I've only managed to get two hearts once the entire time I've been playing NLP+, and that was because I seemed to be guessed the hot spot perfectly every time too. Also, I'm only at the level 3 couple level....does the skinship process get easier the higher couple level you're at?

no it doesn't.
my technique is a small circle at one spot for three heart blips. sometimes the hotspot is instant, sometimes it's after 2-3 blips. so if you pass a hotspot too early it will disappear. sometimes it can go from cheek to cheek or shoulder to shoulder. by the time you see the purple heart let go and you should see the time bonus. if not find the next spot because sometimes the time bonus pops out from there instead. if you can get 3-4 hot spots with a time bonus then you will definitely get a heart by the time extension. and two hearts in one session is damn near impossible. I think I got 8 hotspots one time and still fell short of a second heart.
kissing is a lot easier now: tilts down = top of head tilts left = right side of face tilts right = left side of face eyes closed or eyes open with no shimmering = peck on lips eyes open with shimmering = long kiss on lips
Refrain kiss is when she asks for more kisses, usually from 5 to 4 to 3 kisses each time. Forever kiss is as the name implies, you keep kissing her until you mess up. To get Forever kiss you need: - Date spot with mood setting - More than 20 hearts used on the date - She is in the best condition - Be in a Refrain kiss session - Get red kisses
Skinship and kisses increase your couple rank. Skinship, holding hands, Inviting her out - small effect Kisses, Her asking for skinship - medium effect Refrain kiss - large effect

Thanks alpha for the clarification. I'll try to make it work...I hope I can recognize at least some pattern of predictability eventually, just getting one heart every time is kind of depressing.

I've tried a lot, but I think I can definitively say now the NLP+ skinship is too difficult and time consuming. Doing FIVE taps to pass the 1st phase (50% of the time its red eyes for me), and the inconsistent, unpredictable nature of the hot spots in the second phase to build a heart is just too much for a getting a single kiss per session. Imagine if married couples had to do this skinship every time before a quick peck on the lips ^^;
Really, the second phase is just too much. In the original LP, I felt I kind of "knew" my girl with familiarity during skinship with experience, learning what worked over time. In NLP+, the hot spots rely completely on luck.
From now on, I'm only going to leave skinship for proper dates, and forego daily events.

Imagine how long is going to take to finish the "Kiss her 10000 times" achievement.

I think the hardest part is keeping up with her face as she keeps moving around. You kind of have to anticipate moving with her especially if the spot is on the cheeks or ears. the shoulders don't seem to have that problem. I was groping air one time and it still counted. again 3-4 heart blips should be enough time to figure out if it's a hotspot or not. and you should let go the moment you see a purple heart. and you only need 3 time bonuses to get enough time for one heart. the later half of heart filling is pretty damn quick. after two years I finally finished 500 kisses with manaka...

i think the mentality is to know that the hot zones are actually divided in the screen and not her face so even if she moves do not change position but rather keep going cause that will dry the hot spot.

Not happening Thanks for the tip guys...it's not that I'm bad at the second phase, it's just it's so much effort to get 1 kiss. I was able to get 2 kisses in one session twice now, but it seems more random pen whirling than me improving at it. I mean, in the original, 5 kisses was the normal...maybe I just been spoiled? I have to admit though, the 1st phase of skinship scares me more than most horror movies.

I can get like 3-4 hotspots in a row and then she'll do some bs head spin and i'll waste the rest of normal time until fever mode kicks in. I think they were trying to make kisses more special, so when it works, one kiss is the standard per skinship. I'm noticing certain patterns during red eyes mode. it will usually psyche you at 1 bar to max, and more often it will go from max to 0. at least there isn't the red kiss to yellow kiss at the exact same spot bs.

RED EYES IS WEIRD with a full heart, you can get away with a 2 bar touch at the end. also got away with 5 1 bar touches. this is with green rinko btw.

is there a difference between pink and red hearts during kisses? I had max heart, set a spot with mood up, kissed her right five times and still got no refrain kiss.

okay, so far two 0 bar touches, 1 bar touch is okay but may not give as much as a 0 bar touch. if you fill the heart with four touches, a 3 bar touch is even okay.
