Not getting the scans from Leo/Xeno/Spears was bothering me so I reverted to my save just prior to the battle. It was so easy to get the scans and get the AP this time I have no idea what I was missing before. I did it in maybe 10 turns? I only lost a couple hours of game time but now my OCD wont be bothering me for the rest of the game.

Whereas I didn't talk to Klein on the bridge once and now I want to cry every time I look at the character notebook. I thought I had missed a recipe last night and my first thought was suicide.

I didn't get the bonus AP for the watchtower boss fight and I thought about reloading but that would involve quitting and relaunching the game and then sitting through long, unskippable cutscenes again. If I can miss one book in CS1 then I can deal with this.

You can't skip the cutscenes, but you can make them play like 10x as fast.

You can also miss something like 14AP and still get max. I think it's literally all of the bonus AP conditions involving fights and then some left-over.

I'm pretty sure it's 10. Rank A0 is 430 and max is 440, I think.

Some Numbers posted:I'm pretty sure it's 10. Rank A0 is 430 and max is 440, I think. That was CS1 or at least CS1 had 10 points and even numbers, can't remember exact amounts. Just looked it up to be sure and CS2 is 315 out of a possible 329 for A0, so 14 can be missed just fine. Missing the bonus fight AP just alters when you receive some of the rewards, the final one in particular.

So does CS2 have a mechanic of recruiting NPCs that man stations in an airship a la Suikoden? I remember someone mentioning that in the RPG thread before it came out. (Answers minus spoilers preferred, still playing Trails SC.)

I'm having a hard time understanding Vita's motivations in CS2 (don't read unless finished the finale) She forbid the Duke from fully carrying out the Infernal Rite that would bring Vermillion to full creation. Yet essentially she did everything to bring about that situation where he could do so. Why take action that could lead to something she thinks would be dangerous? Just so she can get the two Divine Knights to fight? Seems like there could be a better way that wouldn't spell potential calamity for the continent Unless I'm not understanding it right.

Ouroboros is assholes who are willing to do lovely stuff to achieve their enigmatic goals.

The NG+ books seem to hint at Erebonia being locked in a cycle of conflict that began with I am currently assuming are the Fire and Water Septerrions doing battle and fragmenting at least one of them into the divine knights. I would assume Vita is trying to recreate these conditions to get some kind of access to one or both of them. Though I've yet to actually read the English version of the books, just a loosely translated jp version. I'm waiting till after 3rd for the real thing. It's likely we won't know anything concrete till CS3 what with the state of the Phantasmal Blaze plan at the end.

theblackw0lf posted:I'm having a hard time understanding Vita's motivations in CS2 (don't read unless finished the finale) Well her reactions seemed genuine, but it's hard for me to trust anything someone says when said someone's title is The Azure Diva, so it could've still been part of the plan. But on the flip side, it's also possible she just didn't take anyone of the nobles even slightly seriously, or at least didn't take Cayenne seriously in any respect.

More finale ending CIA'ing Well, to me it doesn't seem very wise to count on Cayenne not doing anything spectacularly dumb and dangerous. Competent threat he is not, but one of ignorance....

Unrelated CS1 ending spoilers: If you've managed to narrow down C's identity to a few suspects, why the hell would you not keep them under close surveillance when the Chancellor is about to make a crucial public appearance? Hell, why not lock them up in advance like the morally ambiguous semi-secret police you are? It's pretty hard to take the RMP/the Intelligence Division seriously when they just let a top suspect disappear from school where he's already got an agent watching him, and not ring any alarm bells until he's pointing a sniper rifle at your boss. Oh, and said agent is a kid with an attention deficit who wanders away herself on the same morning. This is not how a supposedly competent security force should be acting! yes, I know the answer is 'anime'

Gato posted:Unrelated CS1 ending spoilers: To echo Endorph, did you somehow miss when Millium flat out stated that they thought the threat was over since C staged an awfully convincing death? Millium HAD been put in the class to watch over Crow when they realized he might very well be C - security just understandably lapsed afterwards. There's nothing particularly 'anime' about that plot point at all.

One of the Imperial Chronicles issues even states that they found and acquired (what they thought to be) C's body and were working on identifying it. It wasn't until Millium noticed something was up with Crow around the time Osbourne was about to give his speech that they realized they screwed up.

CS2 spoilers Plus the entire thing was set up by Osborne anyway and at best he was just caught off-guard by Crow getting far enough to shoot him which was apparently not a big concern for him in the first place.

So, uh, that was certain some Christmas.  On a cheerier note, why exactly did best girl try and stop you from completing your mission, even attempting to drag in someone who would have flattened the party, if her specific orders were to watch the fortress fall. Could she just not help herself in the face of her previous humiliation?

Man, I'm still in Act 1 and not for lack of trying. I think CSII is may be the camel that breaks my PS3 HDD's back.  I'd had some issues with its performance earlier in the year, but nothing like stuttering, delayed audio and crazily bad load/save times. Time to pray it survives the system backup process and invest in a new one. Oh, if only Falcom would've announced CS/CSII Definitive Editions for PS4...

Now that I've had some time to sit on the ending I kind of want to post some of my thoughts. Something non-spoiler to start off, I really wish I could've had some kind of save load out options for quartz, I wasn't really a fan of the auto-equip and I'm kind of a fan of changing up my party when I can. Now some Ending thoughts. I ended up enjoying the boss squad in this game more then I thought I would, the Zephyr guys felt refreshing in a way, the Ouroboros representatives were either not that serious about the end goal, or Duvalie, who I kind of feel stole most of the scenes she was in. Thought I'm kind of torn on the possibility of Ouroboros not having this go their way in the end, since it feels kind of like we might be trading an evil that prefers to manipulate from the shadows, to one that is a bit more overt in the methods they use. It'll be interesting to see Rean after this game, What with his current position since he's probably going to wind up doing more work like in post-finale sequence. Also while I probably shouldn't read too much into it, I think the epilogue dungeon may have shed some light on how the schoolhouse/Divine Knight trials worked, with Valimar mentioning the odd fluctuations in the septium vein/spirit veins, I can't remember which it was right this second, and the Schoolhouse's reaction to that. It also kind of fits with the spirit shrines a bit, since not too far away from the Terra shrine we had to fight the worm boss from SC. Which was mentioned to grow or react in some manner to the septium veins acting up. Though this is probably more a symptom of some larger problems in the end, like the war. Also I enjoyed that apparently Lloyd can get the same basic mechanical benefits of Rean's ogre stuff, by just pushing himself really hard.
