Haven't played it myself, but comments suggest that it's a pretty decent chunk of game, like 10+ hours.

chapters are 2-3 hours long, but the first is just plot and tutorials.

I think it's funny that even when you get control over Rein's Magic Silver Hair Bullshit there's no reason ta all to use it because ti drains in like 3 turns and if you're spamming Arc Slash you're just wasting precious CP on it.

Hopefully, in CS3 it will work more like Valimar does. I can easily see dumping EP for it as a once per fight deal. Costing CP really made it kinda worthless.

Once I start an NG+ and get Megalith back up to level 5 I think I'll use Loewe Mode all the time, just because it's neat.

Spirit Unification's even worth using on random encounters, because True Gladiator Headband + Force + The Glitch that means that if the first hit of arcane gale kills, both hits of it give him the bonus CP from Force, means he can spirit unification, arcane gale, arcane gale again, and be right back up at 200 CP because he's getting 32-46 CP per enemy killed. I'm pretty sure it buffs Termination Slash too, even moreso than just having a 2x strength buff on Rean normally, because if you can get him to 200 CP with spirit unification up (fairly simple with the lost art that gives everyone +100 CP) he oneshots most everything with it.

I think Sharon just gets ticked off if you just keep going up and down on the escalators, doesn't matter what direction you go in. The line for that triggers later when she's out of your party.

Scanning enemies is only needed for the trophy, right? Cause in Act 1 of Cold Steel 2 I can either get the boss duo at the fortress down to 30% for the AP bonus or scan the bomb things he throws out, but not both at once.

Yeah, Scanning isn't needed for AP (though I think you do need enough enemy entries for something.) But If you retry a battle after losing, the scans are kept.

It's more that I had one super lucky run of Criticals and was able to get the AP bonus and don't want to have to retry it. I think the enemy entry thing, if it's at all like the one in Cold Steel 1, is just a requirement that you fight/defeat a number of enemies, not have them scanned.

you do need to scan if you want the trophy that comes with it, but you need two playthroughs to get all the trophies anyway I think.

I never even got the trophy for scanning in Cold Steel 1, it's just that the AP guides would usually say "hey this only shows up once, scan it!" and usually I'd do it because hey why not. In this case the fight was just too hard for me to really want to bother with it.

I started Cold Steel last week and I'm pretty glad I played through Sky first. The story and characters in Sky are fantastic, but I like the setting and all the modern improvements (graphics, combat, world map, etc.) more in Cold Steel. It'd be awkward going backward. Meanwhile, now I get to play Cold Steel and then Cold Steel 2 and then Sky 3 and then Cold Steel 3.  Good times.Also aside from the guaranteed fanfic about it, do Schera and Sara ever meet? Because they need to.

CS1, NG+ : Nord Highlands are considerably worse going through em a second time. I enjoyed the chapter my first time through, too.

I also get the Elliot / Egg Soup joke now. Is it game-breaking if I take full advantage of this? I feel like I should stop cheesing it.

having unlimited money can be helpful since money is normally pretty sparse, but pretty much everything you can buy is gated by plot progress so there isn't anything really over powered you can do with cash
