Neat little detail in the prologue...the guy freaking out on the deck named Aldan is actually from Liberl. He was that airship spotter in FC and SC who was travelling all across the country during the second game in an attempt to take a picture of the Arseille, only to keep missing it. Guy's luck hasn't improved. ;)

Hahaha. Yeah, there isn't a book series to collect anymore.

So instead Xseed made one and put them in as chest messages :devil:

From what I recall, the rewards aren't so amazingly good that it's worth holding off a few hours for, are they?

Basically I'm hoping my B-rank save (just a few short) is good enough.

The amount of sepith you get is dependent on your SC rank. Also you get two accessories for having A-rank and only one for B-rank. They're not amazingly good (since you have a very quick recharging CP refill in your base), but they're fairly helpful earlygame since some turn bonus are really nasty when they're used on you.

Also this doesn't have to do with your SC save rank, but if in SC you got Tita's Cannon Impulse F, it will be transferred to the 3rd as well.

It's not terribly important anyhow. Helpful to use on early-game sepith bonus turns but once she gets her Moon Door 1 part 2 craft she will have no use for S-crafts or arts any more.

Depends. She actually makes a great backup healer in a pinch in certain situations. Particularly on higher difficulties, actually. You can't do that while using the Moon Door bonus.

Well, it's a lot easier than Carnelia or Gambler Jack for sure. The timing is a lot more relaxed, and since there aren't many NPCs in the place, there are limited places where books can logically go. Correspondingly though, the reward for collecting them is a lot less lucrative.

There are no obtainable books to collect, but if you read every book in the Garden when/while they're available, you get a reward.

Are you running around with a g-sync monitor? I had that issue in SC until I disabled G-sync. Music and sound would stutter too.

edit: Basically Game engine and/or g-sync didn't gracefully handle the monitor's refresh rate changing rapidly down to the 40s or whatever jumping through 4 or 5 refresh rate steps when loading a new area sometimes before shooting back up to 120hz/144hz.

Yeah, that's blood. It'll get better before the show.
How's the difficulty in TitS 3rd? I played FC and SC on normal just fine, but really, really enjoyed ToCS 1 and 2 on hard. I know the big complaint about FC and SC's hard modes is that they were just a blanket modifier to HP/ATK values for enemies, but I was wondering if 3rd was a bit more balanced like ToCS's hard modes.

its the same deal as FC/SC (i mean i think all the hard modes are just modifiers, CSs are just taken into account when designing instead of a psp bonus). the good news is that it's harder then SC again so most people seem to say normal is about as hard if not more so then Hard in CS/CS2

It's higher than most of FC/SC, but it doesn't have anything like the brick wall that is SC prologue.

I nearly wiped on the chapter 1 boss which is a first for me in the sky trilogy.

Also this game does more for Tita in one hour than FC/SC did in two whole games.

Well so far so good. No technical issues noted besides what may have been the Lusitania's name stuttering slightly when it showed up. Only just started Chapter 1. Ries is great.

I like how one of the chest message specifically refers to 'Skip S-Craft'.

Also I find it highly irritating that I have to wait to see the second part of that Tita cutscene.

Edit: That chapter 1 boss was not as hard as advertised. Surprise extra forms really threw me off, though.

Oh dear, there's two different sets of stories inside the chests. One's 36 parts, and another's 12. That 1/36 doesn't look to fit with the other parts I've found, though...

Spoke too soon about bugs. The monument checkpoint after the first moon door is flickering. Was it flickering for anyone else, doesn't seem like it's supposed to do that since the floor beneath it was flickering before I activated it.

edit: video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnuweeHZE0A It's not like it's anything major but it is kinda weird, noticed a couple other people have it on steam but it's only been this monument for them so far.

edit 2: Okay seems to happen only in widescreen aspect ratios and the glowing galaxy in the bottom near a teleporter also flickers. So far it's only been this one room.

I bought a mini-laptop last fall solely for Tits 3rd. Download complete, hope it works!

Edit: Windowed mode is way too small on my mini-laptop and the screen is displayed vertically instead of horizontally when I turn windowed mode off. Is there a setting under the Display tab in the Configuration screen that can fix this?

Edit #2: Never mind, I found a resolution that fixed it.
