Yes, but her annoying me is not.

Emma is alright I guess. Fairly inoffensive but I'd rather use Elliot. I mostly liked everyone by the end though.

How can you hate a character who's essentially a walking, talking emoticon? :D

She's basically a Neptunia character, so if Neptunia annoys the hell out of you I can't really see how you'd be able to stand Millium.

Towa has the same surname as Nayuta no Kiseki too. I don't think it means anything though, I think it's just a reference. Unless they retcon Nayuta to be some kind of distant prequel.

Probably. Falcom wants to bring it over.

Just some items.

If Rean is below level 70 he gets 100x Sepith, Attack 1 quartz and Zeram Powder. If he's 70-80, you get all of the above plus Soul Blur and 300x Sepith. If he's level 80 or higher he gets all of the above again plus Saintly Force and 500x Sepith.

He also get either the Silver Medal if your rank was A1 or the Golden Medal if your rank was A0, which boosts your HP, EP and some stats.

I'm really surprised they'd give stuff for over 80. I can't imagine why anyone would grind up that high.

I think the idea is to use Shining Pom bait to get to level 80.

That's a bit odd, since Next and Tokyo aren't at all similar. I think Cold Steel's sales would be a better gauge of interest.

I vaguely recall that the various Falcom titles on Steam don't recognize Xinput and thus don't recognize the triggers/bumpers as inputs via DirectInput. Has anyone messed around with say DS4Windows to get them to work? I tried a bit and even though I can map those bumpers to keys and then map those keys to skills in the games, they still don't work in-game (but if I go outside of the game they will).

Do they really need a early 00s dreamcast level diablo clone to determine if a Persona clone could sell these days?

Yeah, but I guess it's something to do with them being "nominally" (even though they're not, really) the same IP. Ys works in the West, so does Trails, Xanadu is an unknown.

Considering that Eurogamer interview had the closest thing to a "yes" that's not actually a yes when the topic of a Tokyo Xanadu being localized was raised, I would wager very good money that Xseed's working on it right now. Prediction: it's going to be part of their E3 announcements, alongside Valkrie Drive and Uppers.

What else is Xseed working on at the moment? A while ago it felt like they almost had too much on the go, now I can only think of Cold Steel 2, Xanadu Next and Estival Versus

An HD remaster of the Wii version it seems.

They also recently put out Nitroplus Blasterz and are about to release Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale. So yeah, pretty busy.

The vita version also ruined the Wii's original style for bog standard anime people which I never forgave it for. It still played like Little King, but it just wasn't the same. Well, with all those games in the pipe at least Xseed should have the warchest to fund Tokyo Xanadu localization.

Oh no, wait. Xanadu's Towa is just as small for a grown woman as her high school counterpart. Which is okay, straight towa in another game is also good.

For the shining pom bait in Cold Steel, do the poms that spawn scale their exp drop based on your level, or on the chapter they are fought in?

They scale by which part of the school dungeon you trigger them on but I believe they guarantee a level's worth of experience for each kill if I remember it right. Which makes you want to save them until near end of the game or new game plus as eventually only Shining Poms will give you enough experience to level in a timely fashion.

Erpy

Shining Poms always give you enough experience to guarantee a level-up and their experience multiplier is locked to 1. So if you're in an area where monsters still give you plenty of experience, they're a horrible waste. They're best saved until the final dungeon, after you progressed to the point where further levelling up against the severely reduced experience scale-down would drive you nuts.

So I could use them at any point in NG+ and still get a level? I'm thinking of trying for 80 before CS2 is out.

Yeah, they're a guaranteed level up no matter what. That's how you get to level 80 for the max import bonuses for the sequel.

I don't really like characters where half the cast keep talking about how she looks super-young. I don't dislike Towa but it's sort of "okay, Rean, stop talking about this" after the fifth time it comes up.
