It was probably power tools and metalworking that improved the most. Computing was just because these particular nerds liked information theory so much.

Maybe they can imagine up a therapist for Renne. But she'd probably send him screaming for the hills. Also it's very subtle but you can see Josette is a lot more comfortable with these people than she was at the beginning.

Agate, I'm starting to think that hanging around the entire Russell family is very bad for your health. Like, you have a better chance of surviving the unrestrained wrath of Aidios at this point than surviving an hour with the Russell family. Also, Anelace.

I imagine that if Renne and Ries hadn't held back and Tita had gotten hurt in the scuffle, Erika would have invented a rocket just so she could tie Agate to its hull before launching it into space. He'd survive of course, somehow, but it wouldn't be pleasant. Speaking of Tita, she's really been coming into her own during the events of the 3rd. Not only has she become a reliable participant in battle but now she's de-escalating situations that Estelle of all people has trouble handling. The little tag-along we saved from her own recklessness back in the Kaldia Tunnel has come a long way.

So is it possible to have two giant robots out on the field now? ...and did you have to actually fight Ghost Pater-Mater to get that crystal, or just scoop it up from the even gaze of the giant robot?

The latter. You can return to that place with Renne in tow after she joins and it'll still be there.

This and the Zin Star Door are probably the biggest teases for the Calvard arc that's coming after Cold Steel III. Having read Gambler Jack while playing SC, seeing Halle and Jack in "real life" was a nice treat.Omobono posted:I can't wait for CS3, if nothing else for Class 7's reaction to the inevitable scene(s) where Olivier trolls Agate. I'd be equally happy with Alfin trolling Agate in Olivier's place after taking one look at him and Tita and Agate thinking "Oh crap, there's two of 'em now."

I had some trouble winning blackjack against Halle but won poker on my first time. I think it's a lot harder to lose at poker but it also takes longer to win.

Outside of Josette's shooting gallery, none of the other sun doors have much significance to them anyways, so yeah for the most part this door just... exists.

The main strategy in Black Jack against an AI opponent is 'know when to stop taking cards you greedy idiot.' A 16/17 on an opening hand sucks but if you land there after taking up a card or two... Assuming you're taking turns on drawing which doesn't seem to be the case here. 18+ though you're pretty safe on holding off and letting the opponent test their luck against the 16/17 doldrums. That's usually how I win: not so much by having great numbers but by the dealer going bust. The poker however is really set up in your favor being a 3 card river and a 3 card hand. I usually try going for full houses in normal 5-card draw but pairs are typically your breadwinners in stud and river setups, two pair is pretty easy to get and rather strong to boot.

RegalStar posted:Outside of Josette's shooting gallery, none of the other sun doors have much significance to them anyways, so yeah for the most part this door just... exists. Sun Doors 2 and 3 are pretty relevant, I'd say. Sun Door 2 is more Estelle fishing development, which is a thread that started in FC. Sun Door 3 is another tournament, which SC was sorely lacking. That said, I agree that apart from Jack being in the novel, this door is super irrelevant.

What I meant is plot and setting relevance. Estelle fishing doesn't really reveal anything that we don't already know, and Sun Door #3 is very obviously "this is just here for fun". So I believe this door is mostly just there for a pair of cards related minigames, rather than something that's going to be important in the series as a whole.

It's there to give you a taste of two characters set up previously but not shown, who will be very important when we actually get to the Calvard arc.

I'll admit, I did forget about that. It'd be an interesting twist if nope, Ries was actually the main character, but I don't think the narrative's been set up for it.

If she turned out to be they'd have a huge hole to dig themselves out of at this point because so far her backstory seems to be infinitely less interesting than Kevin's, and this game seems to be 99% backstory.

Kinda-sorta. FFTA's wish fulfillment problem is more about personal acceptance and escapism. Here the wish fulfillment is more in the vein of 'what is life if everything you want is just given to you leaving nothing left to strive for?'
