It really was nice seeing the chest phrases return.

It was also nice to go back to SC to find they've been patched in there, as well.

Anyway, looking forward to this LP!

How do the Trails of Cold Steel games tie into Trails in the Sky?

They're set about a year or so after this game in the Empire of Erebonia, with a new main cast and all that.

I feel It might have been a better idea for them to have used one of the more interactive doors as the introduction to this particular system.

Plus, the intro + this door means you maybe get a bit too much concentrated Erika right at the start of the game.

Y'know, I wonder If Kevin and Ries secretly get real salty that nobody else's quartz gets randomly smashed once they're brought out of their crystal.

I wonder why nobody else ever thinks to attack twice during a chain craft.

You literally have two blades Joshua, geez.

Judging by the Cold Steel thread, Elise Schwarzer has practically been duped into the role of Alfin's unofficial chaperone/BFF/prank magnet. Hopefully, Elise will be able to get in touch with Mueller to learn some pointers on dealing with the Arnor family some day.

Man I can't believe they just give you Josette so early, I thought this was the HARD game of the trilogy!

Josette can cast earth wall, and as such is a perfectly usable character (heck, she even got to kill (Late SC spoilers, just to be safe) Loewe my last time through SC. And then ruined Loewe and Joshua's big reunion hug by insinuating they were a little 'too' close) She's just always outclassed by literally anyone else.

Actually, I should use her a bunch next time I play through 3rd, see if she tries to ruin any big scenes in this game as well.

Those changing chest messages were a very nasty trick on XSEED's part.

Can't believe I missed out on those fine name-based puns.

RIP Joshua's scarf, Estelle just wouldn't stop using it as a towel.

Hmm, I've been seeing a bunch of broken images in your last couple of updates, is that just me?

Anyway, go with your team. I was tempted to suggest Joshua, Kloe and Josette for team Maximum Awkwardness but I remember silver road not being something to mess with.

You know no one better than yourself.

Cassius may be the only one who knows the Grandmaster's identity.

Ergo...

Estelle: drat IT DAD!

Joshua: I actually knew this already.

It feels really weird to go back to the times when Gilbert just seemed like Lila's male counterpart and not the punchable screw-up we've gotten to know over the last 1.5 games.

It really was a swift and steep decline (ascent?)

I like to imagine while Estelle is having her sewer fishing duel, Joshua's off fighting the wanted monster by himself, wondering where in the hell she is.

My only vote is Estelle for the third group.

May as well choose the teams I went with:

Team Olivier's Haram (Olivier, Mueller, Schera, Zin) for the Golden Giant
Team Kloe's Kourt (Kloe, Juila, Richard, Josette) for the Crimson Lizard
Team Agate's Worst Nightmare (Agate, Tita, Renne, Anelace) for the Black Guardian

And Team Protagonist (Estelle, Josua, Kevin, Ries) to finish things off.

High ATK, hits twice, and he's last in the chain... It has quite an effect.

So that Johhny-come-lately Kevin thinks he can just waltz in and become protagonist of MY video game series? well, we're gonna show him what we think of that, right guys?

Heck yeah.
