Battle for Trost Final

Thats right, today is the last time we'll be in Trost :toot:

Hange says 'I borrowed them' in reference to what Linkle is doing there, not 'I'm here to lend a hand'. Maybe the translator misread 'I borrowed them' as 'I was borrowed', grammar is hard.

The translation for this is not too great, there are times when battle announcements will say something like "Linkle, destroy the titan!" when I kill one, or "<character> notice the flare!". I also believe the translation refers to Connie as a she several times.

Scout Training

Today we get to have some fun outside the walls with our new friends, the Scouts. Eren is there too, maybe. Just off screen.

I don't know if they show it in the game, so when Titans eat enough people, they vomit up a huge meatball. They didn't show the act in the anime, but you did see a ball of corpses.

Funny in the next video I talk about this, but no, the game completely skips over the meatballs.

Also I will be putting any friendship scenes in their own side video. I will not be getting them all cause I just can't do 100% LPs anymore, but for the ones I happen to get I'll show them off

Your Linkle noise is 'yowachi', it means 'weak' so I presume it's triggered by the kill.

But yeah weird you didn't get any friendship sparkles off Sasha from that town conversation when hunting is literally what her friendship scenes are about.

Her saying "weak" and that mad woman laugh, suddenly our protagonist with the "I'm in danger" face is starting to sound a bit psychotic. Kinda like... Eren when he talks about titans

Capturing Titans

Today we go with our best friend Hange and help him capture titans. Yes I'm aware I used him, the game does it too. We'll see 2 characters misgendered in this video!

There is a story about The Titan's Son, a boy was born after his pregnant mom got swallowed and he was sold into slavery. He ended up with a healing factor.

Here's the video I was referring to. Notably Eren himself only gets discussed ~2/3 of the way through, the title is more of a jumping off point than a thesis until itself.

It does seem that the game intends for you to go out and do the scout missions as soon as you unlock them before progressing the story some more. Either that or push you to purchasing one of the mission packs that apparently drop tons of money and materials.

That is typical Dynasty Warriors fare, but mostly to get max health in that one mission.

They get more aggressive, and later on you start getting more and more of the taller type so suddenly there is 3-5 tall titans waving their gangly arms around that can grab you

What is the smaller circled icon object on the Titan body parts?

Did you mention what happens if the important named characters have their timer run out?

Leal
Oct 2, 2009
Those icons are items that you'll get for cutting off that body part. Just that its so much faster to go for the nape I rarely bother with them.

With story characters, if the camera does that stop and zoom thing to show you that they've been grabbed, if they die its game over. In any other case, they'll be "Defeated" and will say some line about needing to retreat.

Thats pretty much how it is. If they aren't mission critical you don't get the zoom in and there isn't even a special version of the SOS when someone in your group gets grabbed. I don't think it even marks anything on the Dpad to go hey, this person is in trouble. So you could be focusing on a titan and then turn the camera around just in time to see Jean get swallowed whole. Then he says "Sorry, I go to go"

It sure was paced differently when you didn't have to fight a boss Titan. Wonder why they couldn't send one like they do in the other missions?

It was nice of them to remember that Titans can crystalize their parts and had Female Titan do a leg when attacking during gameplay.

Today the female titan is unmasked. Do YOU know who it is?


Also the audio may be a bit futzy here, like half the video is loud bombastic trumpets so I had to really lower the volume on a lot of bits and it may be inconsistent.

Hard to believe that she was the Titan, which had her same hair and face, but without the skin.
You missed a chance at getting more boss drops from her in the Eren fight. What a shame.

Now if we can identify who the other Titan on the front cover of the game, by finding someone with epic eyebrows and a face that looks like the face plate of a kabuto...
