18, year older than most of the group. Yeah, she is just short.

Edit: though it means she at 21 and Rean at 20 are teachers in 3. Trails has a serious problem with updating education system to the post-industrial age, what with primary education also being from Sunday School

Rean as a teacher is pretty out there, but tiny sensei's whole character was basically doing the work of a dozen people, often including teachers, on her own nonchalantly.

Towa is a japanese name (well, kind of, there's some towns in japan named that and like two japanese musicians named that) so I always figured the reason for her being so comparatively short is her being partly fantasy-asian in a world of fantasy-europeans. that's literally just a thing i made up based on nothing, though, there's no implication of her having any foreign ancestry. why am i posting about this.

But yeah, she's the same age as the other third years, she's just short. Even outside of my ~headcanons~ plenty of people are just randomly short.

It's been a while but IIRC in the festival one of her events has her mention specific that Towa is an unusual name for her to have and that some of her family are actually foreign.

Rean comments on this when they first meet in Chapter 1. She's a very small 18.

Man they really made boss S-Crafts way more powerful in this huh? C's is basically an instant kill to everyone but Alisa and Angelica (if she's buffed).

Had to burn him down after a lucky faint before he could use it, sheesh.

Not just boss S-crafts...everybody's S-crafts got buffed in the Cold Steel series, to the point where spamming them is considered a viable strategy especially against HP-sponge bosses.

Angelica's got a 45% chance to faint that enemy, so that's pretty much your best strategy outside of Chrono Burst/Moebius cheese.

Durante explicitly ruled out a release before December since there were "still only 80 workdays in his week" and he still had support for CS1 to worry about. It's great that S and V will now be voiced. I really, really hope that NG+ sidequest in the epilogue will be voiced too. I know it's a sidequest, but yeegads is it plot-relevant.

I thought he asked for Peculiar dishes? Either way, yeah, he wants the ones the worst cook makes.

Some of which are actually pretty awesome.

Yes, that was it. As should be obvious from my question, I didn't quite understand what he was asking for. My initial impression was that he wanted exotic dishes from the different regions. It was only the maid asking for the best dishes which made me think Thomas might have been asking for the opposite.

Not that it matters much since after talking to nearly everyone through Day 1 of Celdic, I know two recipes and can only make one.


I've noticed certain enemies like Acerbic Tomatrios have their information in red. Does that mean they are rare enemies, or they only appear in groups of different enemies, or is there something else special about them? (Like if they have the hollow stars of their Unbalance vulnerabilities in red, does that mean something?)

Red info shows up thanks to the Information quartz. It won't actually be recorded in your notebook until you analyze the enemy in question(or kill them enough).

Yeah, the information quartz allows you to view enemies' complete profiles and vulnerabilities, but it'll show up in read (meaning it won't be recorded) until you analyze them or until the stuff unlocks manually.

Whats the proper way on defeating the 3 gargoyle devil beam things on hard? I managed to beat it and felt I got pretty lucky. Whittled the first one down to low life using 3 of the super arts in the beginning. I hobbled my way through the fight expending a whole bunch of revive/recovery items which I haven't been forced to until now. Ended up with at least one teammate dead majority of the fight and having Fie dodges many hits which would've ended the game if they hit.

Move Rean so that he hits two of them with his line delay attack. Spam said attack while the rest of your team kills the 3rd, then find a way to ensure that Rean has enough CP to last him the whole fight.

Trailer for the third game is up for japan and it spoils the poo poo out of the second (and first) games. So probably shouldn't take a look at it til you beat cold steel 2.

Playing on hard, I've now had two TPK's to Zwordars in Chapter 2. I guess the lesson I'm supposed to learn is "Holy gently caress delay the poo poo out of them or you will die".

This is not going to apply for months when CS 2 comes out, but don't rely on triple advantage all day. They change how field attacks work, and it's much much worse and slower.

No, that's still funny.

Fighting them without Rean in the party is certainly interesting, though. Lots of healing and use of Impede crafts and Speed Down.
