The nice thing about Shining Poms in FC is that while they're rare, they always spawn in the same spots, and those are usually on the road to the next region of the kingdom.

I keep getting tempted to do this, but then my "But what if I need it later?" :ohdear: reaction kicks in. Instead I'm just barely managing to afford some and leaving some party members to rot gearwise. Like Elliot and Emma.

Ideally, isn't weapon upgrading a good way of saving money? I focus on new armor instead of trying to buy new all of the new weapons when they appear. Maybe U-Material is scarce and I'm screwing myself for later on but it's working out alright for me in the short term.

CS is like FC but worse when it comes to Mira. In FC you were always poor but usually had just enough to buy all of the latest gear. CS has you poor enough that you can't buy it all each time short of grinding. Oddly in SC I never had money troubles. Even though you started the game with like zero cash you earned much larger amounts than in the first game.

You can really slowly grind money whenever Elliot is in the party. If you use him to cook omelets he's guaranteed to make either a great or the best omelet. The supplies for one cost 60 mira (or maybe a little more) and the two results sell for either 70 or 90 mira. It's a slim profit margin, but you can make 99 at a time and start raking in a couple hundred every minute.

There might be other tricks like this but I'm early in the game still.

man if you hadn't played any other games in the series before Cold Steel (chapter 5) the way they formally introduce The Society for the first time is pretty silly. oh yeah rean, there's a secret society with incredibly advanced technology manipulating the continent from the shadows. don't worry about it. it's probably not important.

This doesn't sound much faster than poopsocking for U-Mats. Getting enough to upgrade all five weapons in your field study group will net you a fair amount of sepith to trade in, too. Not to mention XP and other loot.

Despite how Persona they tried to make this game (but probably no where near Tokyo Xanadu in direct attempt at it) I'm really glad all of the classmates have reasons to hate or conflict with each other. It's kind of contrived in how ALL THESE LIFE AND DEATH MENIAL BRACER LIKE JOBS WERE JUST WHAT WE ALL NEEDED TO WORK THROUGH OUR PERSONAL TEENAGE ANGST ISSUES, but none of them are entirely stupid and I appreciate that in a action JRPG. One of them catches onto something in the plot and the rest usually follow in discovering something or noticing a teacher/character's bullshit.

Certainly sounds like him.

... really, it sounds like Troy Baker, but that's part of being Matt Mercer. I sincerely doubt XSEED could pay Troy Baker's modern fees.

But in a generally amazing game, one of the greatest parts still manages to be voiced Olivier.

If it's the same VA he had in Trails in the Sky, it's Travis Willingham. Who knows if it is, though. The blog post mentioned that they wanted to keep VA consistency with Sky, but it's pretty hard when they were randos called in to do 13 battle lines.

To be honest I'm pretty sure a lot of people came to that realization like 3 minutes after meeting him. It's kinda a predictable plot twist. He is a p. good character though. (and no reason not to spoil it if you can help it.)

I actually forgot that you get the save menu the minute you get control. So you really just need to hold O for a minute while the intro cutscenes are going on

It could have been a lot worse if the characters weren't good and the execution of their actions wasn't this good. I'm very happy whoever translated and original wrote this game both knew what they were doing.

Also gently caress Chapter 3's Bosses, what quartz or sub item equipment set up do I need to best handle that second flute monster outside of just grinding levels and healing items?

Oh right, and is there something I'm doing wrong or does the game like to crash on the VITA when playing battle cards on the train?

Not sure what level you're at, but my favoured strategy in that fight was Millium/Rean/Alisa/Emma. Alisa keeps Rean+Millium+Emma supplied with CP and healed, and Emma keeps Alisa mostly supplied with CP and healed. An Impassion on Alisa at times also helped. 200 CP S-Crafts from Millium and Rean took care of the rest, especially for nice Overkill/Triple Kill bonuses. Ending XP multiplier on that fight was 4.2x.
