the first is like 110%

in fact I'm not entirely sure but it might even be that reference in Japanese

You missed it already. It was in one of the bedrooms at the bracer lodge in the prologue, the door was locked early on but after the attack it's unlocked.

also (end of chapter 1) bleublanc and olivier getting into an argument about the nature of beauty was great. i am a fan of the enforcers so far.

Also, Space Drake/others involved on production end: At the end of the prologue, Lorence is called Loewe in his name tag, but after Chapter 1 he becomes "Lorence?" .Is that intentional or did the first scene accidentally use the wrong name tag, because it was kinda weird

The Enforcers were all a ton of fun to write, although I believe one of them was rewritten fairly substantially after my draft - which I'm okay with, because that character was the one I was shakiest on out of the entire cast. Bleublanc's particular version of cultured nutzoidism was particularly fun to write, though, and I had a kick with that entire scene.

Tch! When I saw the prologue, I figured the "bonus nametags" had been dropped from my draft for some reason. He is supposed to be "Lorence?" up until a little later in the game, at which point things shift a bit. The tags reflect the last name we knew him by, but which was hinted to be an alias at the end of FC - hence the "?".

His being "Loewe" in the prologue scene is the bug, then. I'll pass it along, though I'm guessing Sara will see it here soon enough.

if it makes you slightly less bothered lorence's real name is basically the only SC thing i accidentally spoiled for myself so i already knew he was Loewe

Finished Chapter 1! Olivier and Bleublanc was so, so good.

I'm finding the game to be quite a bit more difficult, but in a good way that generally feels good and not horseshit, Death Throes aside. :argh:

Taking a break for now but looking forward to jumping into Chapter 2 tomorrow after work.

edit: For anyone who gets stuck doing the detective sidequest, there's another npc you can question on the docks accessed via the basement.

Since SC is out, I've honoured my promise to myself to buy and play FC, and I just wanted to say the English script is excellent and very funny. It makes me look forward to the day I eventually get around to playing SC (in approximately 5-10 years given the rate at which I play).

So I've beaten FC twice and was about 1/3 into a third playthrough in preparation of SC coming out. I was playing pretty slowly cause I didn't really expect SC to be released so quickly. So when it was announced I switched to reading Cake Attacks awesome LP just so I could be as fresh as possible on the story.
This past weekend I was talking about how excited I was with another friend who has played FC (and is a goon) and mentioned I can't wait to see more "Oliver". He goes "Wha? Who? Olivier?" "... ... ...OMG I NEVER NOTICED THE EXTRA i"
I've read his name about 2000 times and never knew, until this past weekend, that his name was Olivier.
Sigh. Good job me.

SC is great so far.

Bug: The bet cursor counter when playing poker is one off for me. (the [ ] around the number is one left of the actual number you're modifying).

Feature request: When playing poker, it's MUCH easier to use the mouse. However you auto move the mouses position after deals and menu options appear. Please don't do this. It sucks to have my mouse in the center of the screen ready to select cards and you auto move it way over to the right of the screen.

There are no different endings, the only thing that changes is one scene at the end that changes with your bracer rank. And this time you need every single point for the highest rank.

This was about Brandish and its resting mechanic, not Trails SC, I'm afraid.

As far as SC goes, by the way, hopefully the last couple of patches have improved stability a bit. The XSEED Tumblr should be posting a blog entry by me shortly, too.
