Finished SC. That's a nice ending and all, but if I didn't know there was an entire third game to serve as a pseudo-epilogue/sendoff to the non-Joshua/Estelle characters I'd probably be a little disappointed. A question about Ouroboros, CS2 spoilers: So are the Enforcers besides Lowee and McBurn supposed to be weaker than the Anguis? Also holy Aidios, Kevin, that was beyond brutal.  So I guess all this time he's been a Grail Knight elite or something?

I don't think Ouroboros is organized by power level. The Anguis seem to be chosen based on other capabilities that can help carry out the master plan. This is supported by the fact that the Enforcers aren't exactly subordinates of the Anguis, they just have another role in the organization.

It's not that clear. Enforcers are kinda like the muscule behind operations while the Anguis are the supervisors. Anguis put plans together that Enforcers usually help carry out, together with the grunts. So Anguis are not necessarily picked for their battle or assassination prowess. Weissmann wasn't particularly powerful, his biggest assets being his intelligence, planning skills and knowledge of artifacts. (among other things) One Anguis (Duvalie's master/girlcrush) DOES have combat prowess that surpasses the enforcers) Last Celebration posted:Also holy Aidios, Kevin, that was beyond brutal. He's a Dominion. (the 5th one, as Campanella calls him) If you've played a certain New Game+ only quest in Cold Steel II, you'll have met a Dominion and one of his squires already. Trails in the Sky the 3rd explains what the Dominion are, but Grail Knight Elite isn't exactly wrong.

Also I went back to Cold Steel 2 after getting burnt out at the finally for real last dungeon since I'm done with Sky, and I feel real dumb since there was literally two back to back boss fights and ten minutes of story left. Time to replay CS1 NG+ for all the bonding events and see all the little connections!

This doesn't surprise me but it's really unfortunate either way, especially since this Ys is supposed to actually have a plot worth caring about. Oh well, Ys Seven is out on PC today so I'll just play that instead I guess.

Looks like Ys Seven unlocked on both Steam and GOG. On GOG, the other Ys games got some pretty nice discounts, so if you still need Ys Chronicles, Oath, Origin or Napishtim, this is a good chance.

played 40 minutes of the ys seven pc port and it's pretty solid. i'm not sure they missed any areas it could be improved, and the little things like the higher framerate make a big difference. it's also better than playing the psp version with a 60fps hack cause i'm pretty sure they fixed the timing on rush when you're fighting bosses so you can actually cancel them out of it instead of the timer going too fast for it to be physically possible.

I think the line went "Few can match me, among S-rank bracers, other enforcers and even the Anguis." implying there are those who can match Loewe, like Cassius, McBurn, and Arianrhod

Can confirm, it runs perfectly at a smooth 60fps. Graphically you can tell it's a straight port of a PSP game, but whatever, game's still fun.

neat thing i just noticed is that aside from the launcher, there's an in-game options menu where you change all the graphical settings and remap your controller, and switch between xbox, dualshock and keyboard button icons. surprisingly nifty, not a thing i'd expect from a port of a psp game

I believe they were also kind enough to make it possible to map special moves and flash guard to specific keyboard keys instead of being forced to hold one button and press one of the four primary keys, which is redundant on a keyboard since it doesn't deal with the button limits the PSP has.

Chester is tough, but i died less to him that to the drat first mummy boss fight. Probably the boss i died the most to in a row. Tho i admit, i started Felghana on hard for my first play through, because i thought "hey i played an Ys game before (it was Seven) so i have experience, how hard can it really be"

Chester 1 wasn't too bad on Inferno given the multiple windows for vastly outstatting him Chester 2 doesn't have that. Instead you get move cancelling and shields that last way longer than you think they do

By the way, I remember reading about something in the Japanese versions of the games. Apparently, in those versions, certain words have a switch on the dual character reading that Japanese usually has: Kanji on top, katakana on bottom, rather than the other way around. Can anyone clarify if this is true? I think the example given was the incantations for Vita's spells, but I think archaisms's names are also subject to it.

Terper posted:Uh did we know this. If we did I forgot about it. I imagine it's meant to be "by increasing the level of regulus" rather than the character level and "cut cooldown in half" is probably the max level version, which if they keep delay the same would make it the same cost as a basic attack. Nifty and kind of like an opposite version of CS1 Tauros, which gave basic attacks the delay of an s-craft. It will still see 0 play though if they don't balance out enemy speed and your ability to delay better.

How long are the scripts for the Crossbell games compared to Sky? Longer than SC? How long would translating them take?Hivac posted:Finally brought down Chester 2 on Inferno Chester 2 might be the hardest fight in the whole series. The last boss in Oath is laughable compared to him.

I put about 75 hours into Ao, and that's without talking to most NPCs. I think I had about 50 for Zero, but ~8 hours was just the leadup to the final dungeon and the dungeon itself.

sky 3rd was 40 hours for me, about the same length as sky 1. but yeah, i think a lot of that is spent on gameplay stuff, which thankfully it's the game where i started caring about trails combat really i'm kind of impressed that cold steel's been going for five hours longer than i spent beating sky sc and i've still got like fifteen more hours left and pretty much the entire game up to this point has felt consistently strong The Colonel fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Sep 1, 2017 |

use Laura More specifically, Laura with a Zemurian Ore sword, Tauros, Domination, every possible STR boost, and level 7 combat link. Give her some 50% STR food, go into OVADRYVE, use Radiant Lion, have Rean feed her a Zeram Capsule and then Radiant Lion again. No muss, no fuss, no messy clean-up.
