smenj posted:Coming back a bit late to respond to this, but it's basically as Some Numbers said. I'm aware the dialogue changes - it's just that that dialogue isn't all that important and is literally like a line or two with him saying he's glad they came and not much else. There's no real point going out of your way to bring them. Similarly for Renne. Compared to the other two fights I mentioned where you miss entire chunks of backstory if you don't bring the right characters along, it's practically nothing at all. It's a call forward to CS2 Bleublanc and Olivier and if you really pay attention, 3rd, Zero and CS3 Mostly Renne, but CS3 reveals that Tita saw Renne presumably going off to Jenis (the outfit is similar) before she went to Thors I mean, inside the game itself, it's not much, yeah. It really is minuscule.

Considering the game originally came out in *checks* 2008, might be a cheeky way of acknowledging that. Or even just actual specs Falcom had on file from that time I suppose.

CS3: Don't bother with romance. Your choices don't matter, Alisha is the only support that results in a kiss, Towa is friend zoned even harder

Got all the Gambler Jack novels in SC and still missed out on the weapon because the final step is even more obscure than the one needed to collect all the drat books. I know the weapons themselves are hardly worth the trouble, but still, who comes up with this poo poo?

I want to say it was more reasonable in Cold Steel because you could just straight up buy the books at the end but I don't really remember the specifics.

Never really cared about the weapon rewards for the books, the real bummer is they hide all this cool lore foreshadowing behind an extremely easy to miss fetch quest across the games. You miss out on cool Carnelia/Toval foreshadowing, Calvard foreshadowing and CS3 new character foreshadowing.

Most of the previous books are easily available in whatever sequel they have. Carnelia in its entirety is available right at the start of 3rd, for example.

Tae posted:CS3: Don't bother with romance. Your choices don't matter, Alisha is the only support that results in a kiss, Towa is friend zoned even harder I'm personally fine with this. Also, why the shock? Shouldn't you be used to that by now? I mean, (slight CS2 spoilers) of all the final bonding events, only Alisa, Laura and Emma actually get a confession and only Alisa and Rean end up kissing. All Towa got was an opportunity to give Rean an affectionate embrace and semi-headpat. CS3 merely continues the trend the previous games already set in motion. The Cold Steel games allow you to toy around with a couple of what-if scenarios for the sake of humoring you, but if you pay attention to the differences between the various final bonding events, they're not shy about showing you which option's the default one. Accept it now: Towa is reserved for Angelica, who's a better lover than Rean could ever hope to be.  (disclaimer: if CS3 somehow decided to kill off Angelica, don't tell me, let me wallow in my delusions for a year or two :P )

Oxxidation posted:I don't read the books anyway because the writing in them is very bad. I like to imagine the actual books are carefully woven, rich tales filled with expressive language and deep philosophical underpinnings while what we the players read are just the cliffnotes version for brevity's sake. Or alternatively the books are that universe's versions of trashy anime-esque Light Novels.

Some Numbers posted:And it was available in the Erebonian embassy in SC It was also available for peanuts in various stores in Cold Steel 1, as were the Gambler Jack episodes in CS2. Don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me if Red Moon Rose was more easily available in CS3, what with Roselia being an actual character in that game.

I loved that part, it made me love Toval much more than I would have considering I'd known him for 6 years at that point. The more straightforward the writing is, the better for me. I just cant stand how theyre 95% descriptive text and 5% dialogue, and I'm a Garghav Veteran where they really were written terribly inline with the bandai localization.

Or, you know, the part where she more or less says "I don't know how I feel about you because you're not like a brother" and Rean says "I feel the same way".

I'm not really fine with it, but only on the basis that it feels like they're not willing to commit to either approach. They should either just stick with Alisa as a canon pairing or go all the way and make all of the romance options equally canon. This just feels half-hearted and lame.

Its obviously a bad match for the worlds longest interconnected game series where we have to see these people again in future installments. But I trust Falcom to either do what must be done, or somehow use it well.
