I don't remember who I danced with last in my cold steel save because I just did everyone for the trophies and now I am greatly concerned how that's going to carry over.

The major thing is that whoever your Chosen Pal is gets quite a few flashbacks early on and a few mentions.

It also honestly doesn't make much sense for you not to keep going with the same person in part 2, the plot makes more sense that way. However you totally can dance with someone in Part 1 and then throw them to the curb in order to become Jusis BFF instead.

The best Fate GO character is Edmond Dantes who is an edgelord version of the Count of Monte Cristo, no not the character Edmond, the actual book.

"who you dance with" is basically the "pick your best friend/romance partner" option. You get some dialogue, a couple of minor cutscene changes and it is referenced a few times in CS2.

CS2 has a similar thing but it's a lot more explicit. (If it is with certain lady characters it's straight up picking your romance option for example.)

it's also straight up picking your romance option if you picked jusis, because falcom knows their fanbase

He is an actual manifestation of the themes of the book and the central conflict in the main character. It's literally Edmond Dantes' desire for revenge taken form as an Avenger Class servant with DBZ Beam Powers and the power to move light speed and create after images of himself because he is an edgelord incarnate.

Also he's drawn by the Danganronpa Artist and looks like Nagito with a hat

Enfer Château d'If (Hell Château d'If): Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright ( 虎よ、煌々と燃え盛れアンフェル・シャトー・ディフ , Tora yo, Kōkō to MoesakareAnferu Shatō Difu ?) is the mental power of steel of Edmond Dantès, cultivated while imprisoned within the Château d'If, sublimated into a Noble Phantasm. Not even mentioning his body, Avenger is able to escape from even "abstract prisons such as time and space." Through performing super high-speed thinking, he is able to forcibly reflect that on his body and "subjectively realizes a super high-speed action that makes seems like a "time halt" is being employed." The speed of such high-speed movement makes the attacks take the form of a "simultaneous multi-attack" from many different "offshoots" of Avenger.

Relevant to the trails of cold steel discussion: In addition to the game being on sale this week in NA, the 'shining pom' bait pack dlc are free as well. I'd never recommend paying money for them, but for free, the price is right. If I'm understanding correctly, each Shining Pom fight nets a guaranteed level up, so use them at the end of the game to boost the party levels up. Between the trial pack that's always free, and the 5 additional packs that usually cost money, that's 18 level ups.

There's some minor bonuses in Cold Steel 2 for having Rean as high as level 80, I believe.

They trademarked it in Europe and with Romancing SaGa 2 Vita coming over I'd say we have better chances. It's Vita-exclusive though and Kawazu did an interview recently explicitly saying that he wanted to make it a Vita game because of the challenge or something so I dunno if Square-Enix USA will bite.

As of me checking, it's actually 76 cents. I was talking about this somewhere else, but some companies are taking full advantage of the weak Canadian dollar by charging way over the exchange rate. Looking at the prices there, Namco Bandai is no different.

Basically our dollar went a little bit down and now every company figures it's a good idea to price gouge the poo poo out of us while they can. While Sony is raising PSN price by 10$ for everyone. Canada gets theirs raised by 20$. Awesome.

I've had this on my shelf for months and despite all intentions I haven't got round to it despite hearing it's one of the best games on vita.

How sad that the fact the game has same sex romance (kinda) is what's pushed me to start it.

You will be kind of disappointed if you think it's anything more than "these guys are REALLY close friends, but you can write fanfiction about it if you want."
