Game is up. Discount is not (thought there was going to be a 10% off one or something)

I heard that as well.

Game's not on GoG yet, which is probably fine, since I'm at work for 10 hours.

Glint of Cold Steel and Belief are top tier battle themes.

Heated Mind is fine, but not nearly as good.

Tie a Link of Arcus debuts in CS1 and while the super arrange version in 2 is better its still a supremely baller track.

Tie a Link is pretty good, but I prefer Don't be Defeated by a Friend as a sub-boss theme.

Yep, this is the guide I've been using for my LP.

And will be using for my new playthroughs.

Has there been any news about getting PS3 save data to work with the PC version?

The PC port is great so far, my only complainant is that it locks your mouse while it's open, which has made trying to stream it kind of a bitch so far.
This is super annoying.

They're kind of necessary if you want to hit level 80 for the maximum carry over for CS2.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:

HOW necessary? Because there's flat-out no way I'm buying the bait.

Generously, you'll hit roughly 65-67 at the end of the game with a moderate amount of grinding.

Now, the difference in the carry over bonus between 70 and 80 is 200 of each sepith and a Saintly Force, so it's not mandatory, but it's also not nothing.

Okay, explain to me why taking 10 minutes to travel from watch tower to nord village for every individual sidequest is enjoyable and not tedious

Did you say it was a mistake when they added fast travel to CSII?

I did not, but it was a mistake to remove the Nord Highlands' music, which more or less negates it.

Yep, he just happened to send a bunch of steam powered tanks to the Liberl border at the exact time when all orbments were turned off to 'help' Liberl.

He certainly wasn't trying to take over the country or anything.

I don't recall this being the case. I thought you had to spend the day bonding points during the day, because some events are locked to that part of the day.

Unspent Bonding Points from the morning carry over to the evening. The only time you have to spend all your Bonding Points is prepping for the midterms.

You find quartz in dungeons but not equipment until Chapter 7.

Keep Rean up to date and a couple of others. You're supposed to be strapped for cash.

Playing on hard, I've now had two TPK's to Zwordars in Chapter 2. I guess the lesson I'm supposed to learn is "Holy gently caress delay the poo poo out of them or you will die".

Not so funny that it happened to me, huh?

I never use the warp points to return to the elevator - I need the sepith masses to buy equipment. I'm getting close to my goal of 25000 of them.

This is overkill. You're reaching the point where your slots should mostly be open, so you can start turning your sepith into cash and you'll be getting big chunks of sepith masses from your monster hunts in the remaining chapters.

Also, you shouldn't need to totally kit out your entire team every field study.

Says the guy who started out with 600,000+ mira. Just saying. EDIT: Whoops, I left an extra zero on there. I meant, 2500, not 25,000. That would definitely be overkill. I'm not quite that nuts yet.
Yeah, I started with 300,000 mira and a shitton of sepith and that is very definitely overkill.

I have a lot less money on my PC playthrough, so things are going to be a lot tighter going forward.
