Yeah and Kloe used to be "Klose". And archaisms used to be "overmuppets". Not every Japanese term sounds good in English.

Excuse me I think you'll find that's localization and is the same as censorship.

i dont know.

anyway, funfact, zane's original jp name is actually written the same way as 'gin.' It's still meant to be 'Zin,' that's how they write it in official posters that use English letters and stuff, it's just funny.

I started up Trails of Cold Steel. This game owns owns owns. I got spoiled on what I assume is a huge twist Rean gets a loving Gundam? but all these guys are really cool to hang out with and the writing is great and the voice direction is outstanding. I guess the only flaw is that money feels hard to come by and some fights feel like a Ys game in that being underleveled on Hard is a death sentence.

if you're low on money, sell quartz and sepith you don't have any use for. that stuff is in way higher supply than money

it's not really much of a spoiler. like it happens late in the game but also something that pretty much every and all promotional stuff gives away.

As long as you aren't actively avoiding fights, it shouldn't be too hard to stay leveled thanks to XP scaling. The actual death sentence is not knowing in advance when a boss is going to resist physical attacks and lean heavily on one status ailment.

I've been selling the blank sepith the game obviously wants you to sell, but since everyone's orbments aren't unlocked I'm hesitant on doing the other ones. I should probably abandon my JRPG packrat mentality of "I MIGHT need this someday" for unneeded quartz though.

Yeah I think I got spoiled by looking at the CS2 page. Still would have been cool to come out of nowhere though since nothing besides the one landmark remotely indicates that that'd be a thing.

I kinda ended up avoiding ones in the chapter I just did (the Nord Plains) because lol at killing half the enemies there. It was mostly brutal because the fake jaegers/Obligatory Boss is a nasty combo when you're underleveled and underequipped.

And thanks for the help all. Am I wrong in thinking that modifying weapons is a waste until endgame for everyone but Rean.

It's not that great even for Rean. Definitely something you don't need to do unless you have extra ressources. You also shouldn't worry if it looks like you won't be able to fully upgrade your party every chapter. Buy what you can afford and don't let it bother you too much.

Yeah I haven't been sweating it for a while now, but I'll probably just upgrade Reans weapons since he's like the third best at killing things and he's always there. I was just curious if they were gonna be a stupidly common drop soon since the cost for the next field study's gonna pretty absurd otherwise.

Have Elliot cook the Egg recipe you get in the beginning. He is the best at it and they sell for profit. Rince and repeat till you have more than enough money.

Money availabilty is much better in the sequel.

Welp, guess it's time to make a shitton of omelets! And I just finished the first day of Chapter 4's field study. Did they really need to rapid fire barrage everyone's backstory at me? I knew Fie's was coming since the game didn't even bother being remotely subtle but still, lol

Modifying weapons works the best on the casters since it adds ATS which the normal weapons do not have. Otherwise it's not great and better saved for later. If you don't care about normal attacks of your casters modifying a weapon once and using it is usually a solid choice since if I remember correctly the mods always add the same amount of ATS and no weapon in the game adds it naturally.

Everything I can test without starting a fourth play through seems to have been fixed.

Changes from the Steam version like the third character only unlocking after you've finished the game with both starting characters seem to be deliberate though, I think the original PC release was the same way?

E: no one saw that screenshot I didn't realise had my real name on it :ninja:

Apparantly Falcom mag's showing some new peeks at Sen III.

A first look at Millium, who indeed doesn't seem to have aged any more than Altina:



Some silhouettes of additional characters. Judging by the shape, two of those are almost certainly Aurelia Leguin and Wallace Bardias.



An additional peek at the Sen III art book that comes with Ys VIII too. Looks like Alan made his way into the regular military while Vivi got into photography. (because pink hair)

Somehow seeing all the NPCs I loved 2ish years older never hit my mind.


We better visit Trista so I can see that kid get embarassed by his parents some more, and if that other family is still fixed and if the daughter actually started fishing, and if .... I'm gonna stop myself there.

Between Nier, Zelda BotW, Specter Knight, Persona 5, TitS 3rd, and titles in my backlog like MGSV, I just don't know how I'm gonna divide all my time. Hard to think of a time in gaming that's been so packed for me.

Get a good gaming PC with multiple monitors. Nier on one screen, TitS on the other. A Switch for Zelda. Wait get put Specter Knight on 3DS/Vita. Play Persona 5 on PS4 on your TV. Boom. Simple and efficient.
