ImpAtom posted:TriStrat being a game where the entire central focus of the plot was Salt was legitimately awesome. The plot centering around a resource like Salt was really nice, I liked that. On the other hand, the 'SaltIron war' is so incredibly on the nose that I lost a lot of appreciation for it. Especially since in dialogue they just started talking about salt like it was any other generic RPG resource. A for effort, though!

So far my only read of the personalities of the two main characters in Sea of Stars are "excited to go on an adventure" and Garl, who is "really excited to go on an adventure" I did laugh at the first scene where it showed the villains, which is an almost 1:1 of the first scene of the Consuls from Xenoblade 3 except they're named after numbers instead of letters

I'm three pages behind from catching up on this thread but I need to jump in on the discussion of the TriStrat dub: I will NEVER forgive them for how badly they mangled Narve in English. Why is his voice so dour. Why is he not having any fun. Why did they make him so serious instead of letting him be the silly wizard he was in Japanese! ok carry on

Like the biggest war was called World War i and the biggest after that was World War 2. (Also like to be honest Salt is one of those things that basically is a RPG resource IRL.)

The Netherlands and the isles of Sicily were possibly at war for multiple centuries, not that either of them realized it until someone took a look at their records and realized there was a technical loophole that they could potentially close and, as a bonus, boost local tourism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Hundred_and_Thirty_Five_Years%27_War

There is not enough Frederica support on this page. She gets pissed off enough at her fiance supporting slavery that she drops a sun on him. Even if she hasn't learned the skill to do that in battle!

So I finally have access to Ar Tornelico 1&2 and Mana Khemia 1&2. Is playing the first for both worth it or can/should I jump in with the sequels? I vaguely remember one of them being just a straight upgrade in most ways from discussions in the past. Do the stories connect or are they standalone?

I'd play 1 before 2 in both cases since they both make callbacks, but they are more stand alone.

ar tonelico 1 is like, 20 hours long so if you want to get all the callbacks to mir in 2 it won't be the longest time investment. it is a two route game but none of that stuff is referenced in 2
