Just finished CS1. Go ahead and induct me into the Laura Fan Club. Her relationship with Rean and the way they support each other is excellent. Edit: While I'm here, what transfers over from CS1 to CS2? I'm on Linux so save transfers might work weirdly. unimportantguy fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Jul 30, 2023 |

Your student rank and character level (gives bonus items), who was available to pick for CS 1's final event (they get extra dialogue in their first CS 2 scenes), and who you actually picked for CS 1's final event (they get 1000 extra link experience).

Wrapped up the Crosssbell games and rolled right into Reverie. What a great experience. I haven't played CS4 since launch so some of that is a little foggier but following the SSS from where Azure ends to where Reverie begins just feels good. I love the progression of all these characters from separate corners of the continent growing up and getting out on their own. I spent a couple hours just talking to every NPC in Crossbell in Lloyd's first chapter and now I'm finally heading into the first dungeon. I love every second of it.

Some Numbers posted:Is there an upper limit to Group Missions and if so, do they just run out or will the game start cycling through "completed" ones? Since this was never answered, there are a finite number of unique group missions, yes. It will then start repeating them in a random order, rewarding you with a small amount of U-Material rather than Black Zemurian Ore. You still get 500 phantasmal shards.

You can convert Shards to items you can sell and then buy the 80000 items that disassemble into 100 U-Material. Which items are worth the most money depends on how many of them you've traded because shard costs for items go up as you buy more, but once you reach the final prices I think Spirit Incenses are the best value. (150 Shards for 10000, compared to 500 for the 30000 from Dragon Incenses.) It's not like the stat up items are that useful, so you may as well.

It's notably harder than 3, which is absolutely necessary, because games had been getting progressively easier up to that point, and while there's a few spots that have lulls in action, the high points are some of the best in the series, and at least four bonding events are probably better than any that had come before.

For the guys, yes. On the other hand, nearly every single girl/woman's bonding event features them declaring their love for Rean, usually while he stares blankly or awkwardly changes the subject in response, because he must not commit before the Choice. The exception being Alisa who - due to nearly overwhelming emotional stress - either has an awkward love confession-then immediate breakup if she wasn't romanced at the end of CS 4, or a sorrowful break-up if she was. Either way, Rean looks visibly pained to hear that. Follow up by doing her second as well, and it's actually Rean who takes initiative, in a reversal which is unique, coming before the Choice as it does. Other than that one, I ended up deliberately snubbing all the first-time events (second-time events for the students and also Emma).

The romance writing in Trails is generally kinda weak tbh. But alas the series is cursed with that being one of the main things people want to talk about. Anyway, the secret to enjoying CS4 is that when you get to the bonding events if there's a character with a heart above their head and you think "wow, a romance plot with this character would come completely out of nowhere or just be straight up bad" then you don't do that event. And if you follow this advice the game is largely decent.

Finished the Reverie Post game and did the prologue of Kuro. Reverie was great, most fun I've had with a trails game straight up. Kuro is a massive step up in apparent production values and style though. Its like Persona 5 to Reverie's Persona 4 in that respect.

We'll find out in Kuro 3 what the deal with both is I guess.

drat, it really is hard to keep track of things. We’re really two games into the new saga and Reverie just got localized. I guess I could complain (and Falcom itself could probably be doing way better handling things) but I’m really enjoying Zero so I can’t complain we’re finally kinda caught up. Speaking of, was not expecting the hacker thing to lead to the backstory dump of Tio being the girl Guy mentioned way way back, meaning Elie just somehow gets less and less interesting in comparison to her peers. Also it’s been years since I beat SC but I’m gonna take a wild, maybe super bold guess and say that Kitty is Renne loving with weird little hacker kid, being that her thing is “weirdly good at using/controlling archaisms iirc. Also the cutesy malware. Also also the hacker “battle” felt like the bizarre love child of older TV just making poo poo up to sound cool and someone else deciding that we needed a space internet dogfight, not that I’m complaining. Game good, great even, but funnily enough, I find myself longing back for Cold Steel’s simplified quartz system.

I feel that Elie, like Emma in CS1, is mostly doing things in the background that are useful but not entertaining to the audience to show. It is her personal and political connections that drive key parts of the story though, at least. Knowing the Crois family, for instance. It would be pretty bullshit if the president of the IBC met a rag-tag group of police-bracers and said "sounds legit" in any other circumstance.

She is kind of important narratively and all, but at least with Mr. Croiss he’s legitimately nice enough that he’d just squeeze in the up and comer rag-tag group of police-bracers who were fighting Crossbell’s corruption assuming he had the free time, it’s not any more contrived than the usual amount of Trails contrivance that you just shrug off since it makes for good plot beats. ive been spoiled enough to know that her connection to the Croises is still important for other reasons though.

I don't believe that's an uncommon sentiment, I think 4 was pretty drat divisive.

I think I actually like Reverie more if just because the Daydreams stuff is a big part of why I love Trails. I liked the first chapter of 4 but it lost me after that. I would say CS4 is my least favorite easily to be honest. As far as just CS goes I'd put it 3 1 2 R 4. Edit: A big part of it is just that the megacrossover stuff doesn't work for me with Trails. I'm not opposed to giant big fuckoff crossovers (i love SRW) or returning characters (I love Suikoden) but CS4 never quite landed for me. I've said it before but I genuinely feel like NCVII are more of what I want, characters who have personal connections to all the big events and end up forming a unified dream team but are also their own characters. Also entirely unrelated but thinking of Suikoden and Trails makes me realize that Estelle and Tir use a staff, Lloyd and Riou use tonfa, Rean and Hugo/Geddoe/Chris use swords. Weird coincidence, though I guess nobody really follows up with the Suikoden 4 dude. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jul 31, 2023 |

I really don't disagree with your first point. I think the Trails series works best in the margins of a really low-stakes story about a small party of heroes doing people stuff. But for my money, big or small, Trails is still fun whether it's a Bracer rescuing a cat or a giant robot punching a bunch of airships out of the sky. I guess I skipped all the conversation about CS4 in the long run so I had no idea people were so cool on it.

But eat too much of one type and you may never look at it the same way again. I tend to stay away from conversations about "game good/bad" so I totally missed the conversation around CS4.

Doing a quick calculation, it seems like the best bet for equipment to buy and break down is a character's +1 weapon. It costs 4000 mira and can be dismantled for 5 U-material. That's in comparison to a +3 weapon (8500/10) or II armor (9600/10).

Yeah, doing that in the main game is useful for when you're close to getting an important trade upgrade. In the postgame U-Material Masses are the same value, though. Some Numbers posted:Hold on a sec. Yeah, they're at the top of the consumable shop list once you reach post-game. Though it's easy to miss, since you never have any real reason to be in that shop past the first, like, 20% of the game.
