A bug causes the move to hit once for each enemy in range, so if you hit 2 enemies, it hits both enemies twice. If 4 enemies are in range when you execute it, it hits all four enemies 4 times. Enjoy it while it lasts, they unglitched it in 3rd. But yeah, Trails SC is great.

Is there a quick synopsis of FC anywhere? Going to start up SC again soon but I know how detail oriented the first game was so I don't wanna miss any of the real fun bits.

I had that problem when I was going to play TitS the 3rd, but never did end up finding anything short of a full LP. I ended up playing FC and SC through again. I know it's not the answer you're looking for sorry - but I did enjoy catching little things you'd only notice on subsequent playthoughs.

No quick synopsis AFAIK. People usually recommend Cake Attack's FC LP. (it was made with the PSP version, btw)

Small snippet that I call bullshit Minor spoilers, if knowing that there's a CS4 is spoilers quote:Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo had some words to share about the future of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel series in a recent interview, and it looks like the next part could release in 2018. [Thanks, Ryokutya2089.] I don't see how they would've ended at 3 unless they just cut out half the game.

Also the opening blurb about buying the game purely on a whim and being very surprised at just how good it was echoes my experience perfectly

FC/SC were, yes. Though tbh I gotta imagine it's a matter of them increasing the scope over the course of dev and not literally intending the games or even just the sequence of events we have now to be a single JRPG.

I don't have any evidence to say this for 100% certainty but after playing 3 I think It's more likely that when the Erebonia arc was envisioned, Cold Steel 2 was originally supposed to be the second half of 1, Cold Steel 3 was originally going to be 2 and the upcoming 4 would be 3. Cold Steel 3 is a pretty full featured game and the biggest criticism I could throw against it is that it makes Cold Steel 1 and 2 stick out like a sore thumb and all the more obvious they should have been one game. Chalk it up to Vita limitations I guess.

Considering CS1 had further cut content I think it might have just been a "first full 'HD' 3D trails" thing.

CS2 felt like CS1's final chapter stretched to fill a full game and CS3 just feels like half a game. Like if SC ended at the intermission, and SC itself was already horribly stretched. Basically they all feel incomplete to me and imo the single best thing about the Crossbell games is that they don't suffer from this

lets hang out posted:CS2 felt like CS1's final chapter stretched to fill a full game and CS3 just feels like half a game. Like if SC ended at the intermission, and SC itself was already horribly stretched. I hadn't heard other folks' opinions on it, but yeah. I've only played CS1 in the ToCS series, and I said to my friend as I was playing, and when I was done, "This whole game feels like a prologue" TitS FC is known for being a slow burn, but ToCS I is like one of those tire fires that burns for 40 years. (analogy is in regards to the pacing, not the quality of the game  )

Who the heck is tiny senpai? Is it someone you already met by the time chapter 3 starts in Cold Steel? Not that I've played CS since I'm trying to beat Trails SC first. It's safe to assume I should probably finish Trails 3rd before picking up CS again?

After a busy month finally putting some time back into TitS SC and man this game is good. In general it doesn't have the same feeling of exploration that FC did, since all the areas are "recycled" (but not really if you consider them one big game), but man in general the pacing is so much more intense. It makes sense if you consider FC the prologue, but almost every chapter of SC has had a pretty decent reveal or great set piece. Just made it to The Glorious but haven't explored yet. The previous chapter with the dragon attack was amazing. I've got a few weeks off work coming up next month and really want to clear SC before that so I can hammer through Third during my break, maybe even start CS1. How far away am I from the ending of SC, in general? I've been doing all sidequests.
