I just equipped the Pixie master quartz on Wazy and stacked ATS on him and then had him spam Lord Inferno over and over. That's how I won pretty much every trash and boss fight in Ao. For the final boss I just used had the other characters us EP charges and revives on Wazy so he could keep spamming, since everyone else (Lloyd, Randy, and Ellie) hardly did any damage to the boss. Same situation as the Sky final bosses where all of my physical attacks were useless so it was down to my mage spamming Aero/White Gehenna/Death Scream over and over.

The final boss in Sky SC, as long as he's not in elemental-exclusive mode, actually has a much higher ADF than DEF stat, so I found physicals the way to go for him. (although the same can't be said for the Loewe fight a bit earlier on)

It's hard to give good advice for dealing with the final boss of Azure, as it's programmed to counter a lot of what players do.
That said, there are a few things you can do.
Whatever you do, once it gets really low in health, like 20% or so, it'll start charging up an uninterruptible craft. Use Burst mode at this point, an keep it active by using Burst Orbs until the boss is dead, or else anyone not in Stealth gets Vanished, which is a Game Over.

Finally beat it. Took a few tries. Pretty good set of games. I can see why people had love for this set. Lloyd is a very good protagonist. Rean is alrite, but its cool that Lloyd is just a regular detective without any real hidden god powers or anything. KeA is a good girl. Mariabell is kind of a Mariabitch. The lawyer sure switched sides pretty quick. It was like "yea I killed your brother and it was all for these reasons" Llyod: "You're being kind of a jerk" Grimwood: "You're right...I'm sorry. I quit." *gets magic stabbed* Even though the 2nd form of the final fight kept cancelling my arts. I still spammed it since it used up its action to cancel it instead of spamming that wide-sweeping sword move. I got wiped from the mass vanish like 2-3 times with it being 20k HP left a few times, made me want to chuck my controller, argh. The tip to spam burst orbs while in burst form to extend it helped to fit in more Tio Crimson Laser spam to seal the deal at the end. It was nice seeing Guy there, he's kind of TOO charismatic. Like every time he shows up or is mentioned, he just seems like the greatest person ever. I guess Llyod is gonna grow into that since quite a few times already, he got people to join him with his talks. It was neat that he acknowledged my true pairing pick with Noel. Wonder what his lines would have been if I picked Tio. I should look up a timeline chart of what events coincide for the Crossbell games and Cold Steel 1 & 2. I did watch the fight on youtube when Rean goes against Llyod at the end of CSII, but I have no idea what Llyod and Rixia was trying to stop Rean from doing.

It was kind of more like: Grimwood: Yeah, I killed your brother and it was all for these reasons. But with KeA's power, we could undo all of the losses that you, I and everyone in Crossbell suffered over the years. Lloyd: Losses are painful, but they can also cause people to grow and take actions to make sure the same tragedies won't happen again. You were one of those people. Your losses were what caused you to think up the whole Azure-Zero project. If you undo those, you'll undo the project. Grimwood: That's... not a bad point, actually.

Reverie out in almost a week... looking forward to playing it again, it was a lot of fun the first time through. Also recommend reading the 3&9 book from CS4 if you want to, it's not required reading or anything but it ties into a fair amount of events and some character arcs and gently caress you're 10 games deep in this extremely wordy series at this point so why not

Anyone had any experience playing Trails of Cold Steel on Steam Deck? Specifically III? Steam says it’s unsupported, but it seems kinda weird that III wouldn’t be compatible with it but IV is, so I was hoping it was a weird user submission oversight or something.

I haven't tried CS3 but CS4 works pretty much perfectly (except it fails to shut down properly when you exit so you have to force quit), so I would assume CS3 works fine. Is there anything preventing you from trying it?

Nope, and there's no bonding events so you don't need a ng+ file for unlimited points either There is however more story that unlocks after you've beaten the main story, so don't like shut the game off forever once the credits roll

Yo turns out the English dub once again has more voiced lines compared to its Japanese counterpart. Thank you NISA.

Wait, what? Do the Japanese versions of these games have like three voiced lines or something? One of my few annoyances with this series is how intermittent the voice acting is. It's pretty drat sparse. Edit: If every visual novel with a trillion lines of text and zero budget can manage to be fully voiced then you'd think it'd be trivial for something like the Trails series.

When XSEED made the PC versions of CS1 and 2 they added a lot of voice acting, especially for Rean in scenes where he's silent but talking to someone voiced. When NISA took over for CS3 and 4, they did not get this. Reverie's seemingly getting it again, again for scenes where the lead is talking to someone who's voiced.

It’s probably worth noting that the XSEED localizers wanted to fix at least the Rean stuff in the original PS3/Vita games, but the game was hardcoded to not allow voice acting in any instances where it wasn’t already there in the original JP until the PC ports of 1/2 fixed that part, so maybe NISA couldn’t for 3/4 for that reason either.

https://twitter.com/_sikiha/status/1668763681457602560 They also pump out a game every year, so yeah they're working with a lot of reused assets and try to cut corners where they can. It's just the way it goes.

Endorph posted:falcom has less budget than most of those visual novels Umineko, an over 80 hour VN where no one ever shut ups, was fully voiced for its ps3 port, and the studio responsible had 24 employees total so that's no excuse Falcom just made a poor choice with casting a super expensive VA for Rean, the character with the most lines

You know, a few years back I would have said that Billy Kametz should voice Van in Kuro's dub, but now that's not possible and I'm sad now. But, idly, do you have any predictions for Kuro's dub?

It's super jarring when there's a scene where no one in the protagonist group is voiced, but this named NPC who's appearing for the first time voices all their lines. It happens multiple times in Reverie.
