Oh cool, I was wondering if someone was going to LP this.

Had good memories of reading the first two Laps so looking forward to this one.

That was pretty quick, considering the fact the game's been out for less than a month. Anyway, this opening's really neat and a cool departure from the slow-paced opening of FC and the dramatic followup opening of SC. It's totally a Bond movie opening with Kevin being even slicker than Pierce Brosnan. It's also really nice to see both "goofy flirt"-Kevin and "Weissmann murdering"-Kevin getting some screentime. Little note: Kevin's Sacred Breath craft was always capable of curing status ailments, even in SC. It didn't remove debuffs like Tita's upgraded Vital Cannon did, but it did cure abnormalities. Another little note: the panicking NPC on the deck, Aldan? He's from FC and SC. He's an airship spotter you first run into at Bose's landing port where he's making preparations to photograph the Arseille. In SC, he's all over the place, always trying to nab a shot of the Arseille, but always JUUUUUST missing the action. When the Arseille docks in Bose for the dragon capturing operation in SC, that happens to be the one day he's NOT at the airport (airship traffic having been suspended due to the dragon attack and all) and when Estelle tells him the Arseille was in Bose but just took off again afterwards, he completely breaks down. He's still in Bose during Chapter 8, bugging the orbal factory owner to fix up his camera which got disabled by the Aureole. Looks like he still has crappy luck half a year later. This introduction's a nice call-forward to Cold Steel, with shoutouts to Bareahard, the Kreuzen province, the Reinford Group and the term Merchant of Death being used. There are also nobles cursing "that upstart chancellor". Erpy fucked around with this message at 21:03 on May 28, 2017 |

Granted Weissman was from North Ambria, but the area becomes a lot more relevant in the Cold Steel arc

THE OPEN CHEST DIALOGUE IS BACK! That being said, I too like the bond-ness of this opening. It (re)-introduces Kevin and lets you get your toes dipped in the combat and spell casting system.

Granted Weissman was from North Ambria, but the area becomes a lot more relevant in the Cold Steel arc Uh, I didn't know that; so Kevin decided for a middle finger the size of the Liber Ark at the end of SC, it makes sense that Weissmann was so pissed for those five seconds. The question now is, did W became rear end in a top hat supreme because of North Ambria or was he always like that?

Omobono posted:
It's an easy-to-miss line in FC. When Estelle and Joshua attempt to cross the Sanktheim Gate into the Grancel region and Alba bails them out, he introduces himself to the soldiers as a scholar from North Ambria and the soldiers verify this. Of course, it may have been part of his cover, but as Weissmann points out in SC, a large part of his cover WAS based on the truth of him really being an academic. And yeah, the way Kevin executed Weissmann was just loving spiteful. It'd be like executing Agate by locking him in a small house and setting it on fire or executing Kloe by trapping her on a ship and then sinking it. If it wasn't Weissmann we were talking about, I'd say they were out of line with this.

It really was nice seeing the chest phrases return. It was also nice to go back to SC to find they've been patched in there, as well. Anyway, looking forward to this LP!

Awww I was researching ways to LP this. But it's just as well. I doubt I'd do as good a job as Pants will. This really is a great game. Absolutely fantastic. There's really only one issue I have with it, but I'll get to it when it's relevant. They do a great job at giving every character something to bring to the table. I was even wondering how it was gonna work with such a defense oriented character as the main protagonist, but Mortal Punishment took care of that. And, for the first time, Tita was a mainstay in my party. She was MVP by the end. (also hey, if that's a spoiler you don't want revealed I'll redact it, but considering every character from the first came back for the second, I figured it was a safe bet) Anywho, I'm really excited to get in on the ground floor on this. It'll give me my fix until they take care of the New Game Plus Quartz bug. Rabbi Raccoon fucked around with this message at 02:47 on May 29, 2017 |

Cleared the first two games but I'm probably not going to get to this for some time, so this LP was well timed.

Some Numbers posted:Maybe I need to give her more of a shot, but I found that I wanted to use other characters more, so she kept getting crowded out. Yeah. This game is built around switching everyone around fairly regularly, but I found myself using her much more than I had in the past. And there's a certain Quartz late game that turns her cannon into a complete poo poo-wrecker for randoms

How do the Trails of Cold Steel games tie into Trails in the Sky?

Dorothy, keep on keeping on and being you. tithin posted:How do the Trails of Cold Steel games tie into Trails in the Sky? The Sky series takes place in Liberl (more or less anime UK), the Cold Steel series is in the neighboring Erebonia (anime Germany led by chancellor anime Bismark).

Isn't that where old mate Olivier is from? I hope we run into him again.

There's a side event in this game regarding Olivier that essentially kicks off the events in the Cold Steel games.

Dorothy wanted to be a phantom thief? Can't help thinking of a Trails x P5 crossover and what that would look like.

tithin posted:How do the Trails of Cold Steel games tie into Trails in the Sky? They tie a lot more closely into the two currently-untranslated Crossbell games. Whenever someone in Cold Steel mentions things going down in Crossbell, it's an oblique reference to one of those.

Huzzah! I haven't even finished reading the SC LP (I managed to lose track of it), so I'm definitely not going to look at this one for a few more weeks. But I'm really glad to see that I'll be able to read the third part as well once I finish reading SC. Thanks for doing this!

If Erika wasn't so ludicrously over-the-top, she'd probably be obnoxious. Well, she still kind of is and I feel sorry for everyone who has to put up with her, but she's such a fruitcake she's also kind of amusing.
