Tae posted: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. Terper posted:Just use ranged attackers/run away until they turn their backs This right here. lets hang out posted:i mean yeah if you want everything to take way longer go ahead Baiting an enemy, waiting for them to turn around and then snipe and engage them does take a little while longer, say, 5 to 8 seconds. But getting triple advantage consistently, instead of just every once in a while, still means the battle itself will be over much sooner since enemies take damage right at the start and you get enough free turns in to kill everything before it has a chance to move. If you're able to consistently hit and circle enemies, the bait and snipe method takes longer, but otherwise it's probably still the most efficient way to take out randoms in the long run.

With Rean you can very easily keep hitting them quickly while inching around them after every hit, it's annoying that I only discovered this towards the end of the game

Fie and any of the grown-ups in CS2 can faint 90% of monsters before they notice you, and enough swings from Laura will faint the other 10% from any angle.

It seems like it changes only once a chapter, so if you have any save in Trista between returning from a field study to about to leave on the next in each chapter, that's all you need.

On one hand, I hope that they manage to fix the in-game signs being the same that they were in the Japanese version so it doesn't look so sloppy, on the other hand, lol

got a 3.9x multiplier on a boss and my exp gain capped at 9999, wtf why do they let you stack multipliers if the cap is so low? I'm only at the end of chapter 3 and I'm already hitting it.

I think it's all the spiders it keeps summoning. Alisa had leveled up in the Chapter 3 semi-final boss seconds earlier and gained an entire level afterwards - and my party was already a couple levels higher than expected at level 31. Also, gently caress swimming. It took me about a dozen tries to win. On Hard you have basically zero room for error, although bafflingly, I somehow managed to win despite two misses on my sucessful attempt. I guess getting many Greats are required. Just Goods do not cut it. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Aug 29, 2017 |

git gud at rhythm games I was really grateful for Turbo Mode last week when I played through Chapter 3. Lots of backtracking all over the area that I got to fast-forward through, especially since I decided to hunt a few extra U-Materials

And why was there an annoying swimming section right after two boss fights and a billion cutscenes when I just wanted to saaaave? By the time I got a chance to save, my Time Played had gone up by - no kidding - an hour and 20 minutes since the save before the Chapter 3 boss. I learned that if you hit no buttons at all you can come in third in the swimming race. That's right, Rean putting in no effort is still a better swimmer than Elliot. On the plus side, Alisa'a VA had some of her best delivered lines in the swimming pool cutscenes. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Aug 29, 2017 |

There should have been a save point just before that, as I recall.

It's the end of the chapter beginning of the next so yeah there was a save right before the swimming.

Early Chapter 4 stuff. - I've switched up my party members so much that somehow, JUSIS has more XP than Rean, and he sat out one field study, two trips to the old schoolhouse, and half a day of one of the field studies he participated in. That's solely on merit of the slight XP difference between participating in a fight and being in reserve. - I've also managed to get Rean and Alisa to link level 4 before entering the Old Schoolhouse in Chapter 4, although that was on purpose. I probably won't be able to get them up to level 5 before mid-chapter 6, though. - Sara really tuned up the combat shell for the Childhood Friend quest in Chapter 4, because on Hard, forget Rean holding back to make the NPC look good, the fight was genuinely difficult. It kept me on my heels pretty well and I needed to use a lot of items, and I drained all of Rean’s EP on buffs and healing. I am really enjoying the challenge of Hard difficulty. - I complained about the swimming earlier, but Machias was a much less challenging swimming opponent than Sara. I made several screw-ups and still won by an arm-length. The Seraphic Gate guardian of floor 4 was a pain as expected. I came prepared with a little knowledge though. Not as much as would have been helpful. I brought the Magic Squad of Emma, Elliot, Jusis, Alisa, with Rean and Laura as backup. I hosed up Alisa’s orbment setup, gearing her with +physical stuff for the dungeon and forgetting to give her ANY attack arts save for Golden Sphere. I also forgot to wear anti-confuse gear, so Emma, in the center of the formation spent at least half her time confused. I took the first prick down fairly quickly, but attrition meant that I was spending too many turns healing the confuse and failing to do damage. Emma died once, but I eventually managed to get the fight under control. Laura came in, did one Armor Break for 0 damage, then I swapped her back out immediately. - I never use the warp points to return to the elevator - I need the sepith masses to buy equipment.

You're reaching the point where your slots should mostly be open, so you can start turning your sepith into cash and you'll be getting big chunks of sepith masses from your monster hunts in the remaining chapters. Also, you shouldn't need to totally kit out your entire team every field study.

Are the Prankster and Effort quartzes (70% chance for a Peculiar/Superb dish) something which applies to Rean only? And I assume you need to first have someone create those before anyone else can make them.Some Numbers posted:This is overkill. You're reaching the point where your slots should mostly be open, so you can start turning your sepith into cash and you'll be getting big chunks of sepith masses from your monster hunts in the remaining chapters. Says the guy who started out with 600,000+ mira. Just saying. EDIT: Whoops, I left an extra zero on there. I meant, 2500, not 25,000. That would definitely be overkill. I'm not quite that nuts yet. I unlocked the last of the slots sometime after returning from the field study, so yeah I'm probably just about at the point of selling off a lot of Sepith. I have been making a few extra Quartz with the unneeded surplus to trade with Micht for better quartz, but I'll probably see if there is new quartz available on the field study. I'm not totally outfitting my team. I get everyone a new weapon - because I saw in your LP how crappy damage is with out-of-date weapons. Sometimes if I have a decent amount left over a couple pieces of armor, but usually not. I'm also buying books and cooking ingredients (not 99 of each, only up to 25 at most), and maybe an accessory or two. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Aug 31, 2017 |

And I assume you need to first have someone create those before anyone else can make them. I think the way they work is they do all the calculations first (characters involved in the cooking + random factor) and then apply a 70% multiplier to change the result at the very end, regardless of whether it was created before or not.

So, replacing the music in the Trails in the Sky games was easy enough since the files were just .oggs and you could insert loop points into them, but can you do the same with the .wavs that Trails of Cold Steel uses? Since TitS FC I've liked replacing the battle themes with some of the more punchier arranged versions, but as far as I can tell it's not as simple to get ToCS's .wav files to loop like .oggs.

I'm getting close to finishing ToCS1 on PC and am enjoying it much more than I thought I would, so much so that I'm considering getting ToCS2 now while I actually have time to play it instead of getting it on pc when it comes out. I just had a couple questions about the PS3 version and importing saves and google wasn't very helpful I know clear data from the first game gives some quartz/septium and changes some dialogue but how big of a change is this? Just a couple sentences or more noticeable? Is there a way to transfer a ToCS1 save from the pc version to the PS3 or download someone else's PS3 save? Will any QoL things I'm used to be missing from the PS3 version, besides turbo mode and graphics? Thanks for the help
