The Crossbell campaign has a lot of the best music in Trails. If nothing else, I am bummed that the Anglosphere hasn't gotten to experience that in person just yet.

My opinion, but I think we can do better than that!

Persona 4 has a much more robust character customization system. The love of Trails in the Sky is pretty much based on the charm of its characters and settings, I'm guessing, since orbments weren't exactly the deepest system in the world, especially given how only a few of them were actually any good.

It's already deeper than the (highly popular) Final Fantasy VII's materia system. Being, yknow, the same system but deeper.

And it gets deeper every game.

Record Breaker is coming out now as well? Yikes, my backlog is going to be growing...


I think another RPG I played had that. Was it Golden Sun or am I misremembering?

Golden Sun was another great set of RPGs; though getting told in the second game that your actions in the first were misguided to say the least is a bit of a frustrating revelation.

That wouldn't really make sense in Golden Sun's battle system. Tales of Xillia, probably?

I think he meant if it was possible to import FC(PC) data to SC(PC) without actually owning FC(PC). I could be wrong, though.

You could probably create the save folder and put it in the right place. It shouldn't know the difference.

honestly i think the 2x figure comes from the script and is inflated by stuff like the agate/schera split. unless the last two or three chapters (i'm in 8, not sure if 9 or 10 is the last) take disproportionately long i won't hit 70 and there's a lot of fat that could have been trimmed off my playthrough since i've been doing 90% of the sidequests blind

There's also a lot of muscle that you already did trim off by doubling the battle speed...

Bug report time! As near as I can determine for what happened, the second cutscene at Axis Tower triggered where the first was supposed to, and dumped me at the point where you're supposed to be at the end of the first, which can still be triggered by going back to the previous screen.

Of course, this resulted in me not getting told to go back to the Arseille, and ended up fighting Bleublanc first without realizing he'd be there and I probably should've brought Olivier...

Quick question, cleared chapter 1. Boss had a craft with a charge time, can impede effects interrupt those or do you have to take them in the face every time?

Yes. It in fact says so in the description. It's probably just success rate conspiring against you if it didn't work for you.

Uh. Huh. Game's getting buggier and buggier near the end, I guess. On the third floor of Axis Tower, in the room unlocked after Walter with the elevator, when I approached it I fell through the floor into a black screen. Made it to the elevator the second time, though.

Omobono posted:

I didn't even bother testing, proper debuffing made the damage manageable. I've been using impede effects against annoying arts users, not crafts until this point.
The impede quartz is fairly useless in my opinion. You want something interrupted, use a craft with impede, because random procs will fail.

In other gameplay thoughts, gently caress Death Throes enemies with a rusty spoon. Not the self-destruct ones, who cares, the buffing ones.

If you want an occasion to laugh at Death Throes, there is in fact a boss late in the game that summons minions that do Death Throes... while the boss itself is immune to the buffs.

... wonder if that should be a bug report.

Also gently caress this game's weird status effects, I do not want Fat Estelle.

Final Edit!: "Tita Learned 'Satellite Cannon'!"

Me: :gizz:

I'm not actually sure. She gained a bunch of levels at the time she got it. Somewhere by 75 or something, I suppose.

But it is amazing.

As is the rest of the game! Finished it.

Well, until I replay it again to not miss half the books and avoid getting caught by plot preventing me from maxing my BP.

Bring the appropriate characters to each fight for extra scenes that settle accounts - I would say Schera is the one who matters most in this regard. You will fight them in the order you encountered them. "Fifteen" kind of doesn't count because her linked character is Estelle. Loewe, meanwhile, will have plenty to say to nearly everyone.

On the other hand, if you leave out Zane, you presumably miss out on their awesome fight. And that's terrible.

I also missed out on Olivier and Bleublanc myself, as mentioned earlier, but I assume they break the fabulosity meter.

Speaking of Zane, the heck happened with Walter. Bleublanc and Renne leave, Lucciola falls off the tower, but they just kinda leave Walter there unconscious.
