I like to believe Olivier was holding up a glass of wine in that exact same manner when he invited the restaurant manager to join him, just before he was tossed in the slammer. :)

Anyway, not going to comment except that evil can be a fairly subjective thing in this series.

Sort of. In every chapter except 1 and 7, i think, there's a sparkle on one of the bookshelves in the Hermit's Garden that gives you access to some books to read. If you touch all the sparkles you get a really handy accessory in the final chapter. In addition if you win at least 300 battles without running or run away from at least 300 battles then if you examine the fountain in the Hermit's Garden in the final chapter you get a unique quartz.
Aw man I haven't been checking that, and when I went back just now there was only one sparkle. Do they come back from previous chapters later on if I just proceed a bit? I asked earlier if there any weird missables and the only thing I was told was the 300 battle thing.

The twist :stare: Totally should have seen that coming. Having played the Sky games I was fully expecting something big to happen and had even been thinking "I wonder if this person turns out to be evil" about almost every character, and yet it was only at the moment you find out that Crow was giving back everything he'd borrowed and heading to Heimdallr that I started to suspect it. Did anyone guess way earlier? I'm not sure if I was dumb not to see it or if they hid it really well.

I'm torn between getting the 2nd game right away and waiting a while. I want to know what happens next but could probably use a break from the gameplay a little bit

To be honest I kinda assumed all the poo poo being set up was meant to be a sequel hook, because it seemed like they were getting pretty close to crunch time and everything after the Obligatory Final JRPG Boss (because every knows that C is the actual final boss) was meant as an extended epilogue. Also, you know, the whole Crow "optimum bounce vectors, "man I got cucked by Angie again"" Armburst being a super strong terrorist deal.

I believe it's an accessory that prevents stat-downs and gives a whole lot of bonusses to your stats, similar to the emblems.

That's what the description says, but it might be wrong. The game confuses stat-downs with status effects in one or two places.

I've never used Cheat Engine before but given the frequency it gets brought up here how hard would it be to use it to run through the game again quickly (like speeding up the battles, making my dudes super strong, etc.)?

Speedhack is super simple, buffing stats is more complicated and not something I'm super familiar with

Search for the stat, change it with equipment and search again, set it to 9999 and lock it? Assuming there isn't any check to prevent that.

I mean if you just desperately want the books I can dig through my saves when I get home, I saved in a new slot every time. But that'll be like 6 hours from now. Also I played on normal if that matters.

Extremely easy. You can download other people's cheat tables which means the hard work of finding memory addresses is already done.

Try this one. It's a save from the GOG version (should work with Steam) saved at the very start of Chapter 5, so new book can be viewed in the library right away. I'm pretty sure I've kept up with the books up until this point. Link probably expires within a day or so.

Oh god I missed Carnelia all the way back in Chapter 2 when I didn't realize things were there, and I'm in Chapter 6 now. That's just depressing given I have every other book available.

"...creating a vision of the sort of society you want to have in miniature"
Replaying CS1 and wondering how large Garrelia Fortress actually is. Like if you compared it to a landmark or even possibly a city does anyone know roughly how large it would be?

The game said it took them ten minutes to drive to the demonstration site so the overall land mass seems city size

TiTS 3rd end game: what's going on with the giant shining pom and his minions at the bottom of the Abyss (Chapter 7)? My 4 characters are at level 135, I buffed Julia and used her S-craft with 200CP and it did no damage. How do you kill them? Is a particular character required?

Julia's strength is super low. Take Agate or Richard, pump their strength up over 3000 and try another 200 CP S-Craft.

Use S-Crafts. Agate is not required but helps for obvious reasons.

you probably just need a character with higher strength using a 200 cp s craft, it's a pure damage check. Or just sanctum nova

Interesting that you don't get a book item for it. I assume you don't even need to read it, just activate each sparkle?

Yep. Because each sparkle is a batch of books. One is all of Carnelia, another is all the issues of the Liberl News from FC and SC; it's a lot of optional reading.
