Quick question for the Reverse Harem and Ladies Man Achievements at what point do you have to switch to the appropriately gendered party? I beat the final set of fights with Kloe and Shera but it didn't pop.

You have to choose two ladies or two men right when you first enter the Sealed Area, and the option pops up for the first time. You can't get either achievement at any point afterwards, so you'll have to reload for the other one. Your last autosave will be right before Lorence. Have fun! :unsmigghh:

Quick random graphical glitch note the "Happy Birthday 60th Anniversary" vertical banners are mirrored in the East Block but not anywhere else. Also me talking to everyone in this game also made me notice that the little girl in front of the Church during the celebrations says the same thing as her mother/older sister.

I've got a played time of on the save of over 70 hours due to my compulsive chatting...

I'd forgotten how good dear old Weissmann was at twisting the knife.

Finally finished SC. That was really, really excellent. End of chapter 8 was definitely the high point for me I reckon, what with everyone's plans coming together in one place, revelations about Olivier, etc. That was quite a bit to be hit with all at once, and the game pulled it off well.

Yeah, the end of 8 was pretty great. I never thought I'd be so happy to see Amalthea and her Intelligence Division shitweasels. I was kind of relieved because 7 felt like it was drifting dangerously near disc-two-of-Xenogears territory what with the enforced linearity.

Ending chat: I'm mildly salty that after they played the copout "oh it's FINE they're just UNCONSCIOUS, that is not AT ALL medically concerning" card what felt like a dozen times throughout the game, they figured out how to make it stick just in time to inflict maximum Joshua trauma.

Not as salty as Weissmann, though :razz:

Did anyone else find a glitch where you beat the Blade Fang in Chapter 5, but the quest won't resolve? The journal says the monster is slain, but there's nothing saying the quest is finished. Are there others I missed?

The Blade Fang is one of three monsters the Guild asked you to hunt. While each monster has an entry in your Notebook, the actual quest has a separate entry and it doesn't finish until you kill all three.

Basically, while they're recorded as sidequests in the notebook, they're actually not and you can't report them until you can report all of them.

This Japanese tool works: http://www.pokanchan.jp/dokuwiki/software/falcnvrt/start

For PC assets, drop the *.dat files into it and hit the leftmost button.
e: Portraits are in ED6_DT05.dat for FC and ED6_DT25.dat for SC. The SD portraits extract fine, but the tools seems to have issues with the HD ones, the colors come out wrong for those.

For PSP assets, it expects the full game ISO as input, not the individual files. If you have a PSP you can extract an ISO from your PSN download with a homebrew tool called "NP Decryptor".

Worked like a charm, thanks!

I was checking out my (launch!) PS3 in preparation of Cold Steel and it looks like it's died on me. When I power it on the light turns yellow then flashes red and doesn't do anything. How different are the PS3 and Vita versions of Cold Steel? I figure I can probably just play it on my PSTV if I need to but if it's inferior enough I may just go track down a cheap slim PS3 or something.

they are pretty similar, i think the vita just has slightly longer load times and slightly worse textures? what you would expect really.

The quality jump isn't as dramatic as, say, the PSP to Steam-PC versions, but it's still there. Somewhat sharper textures, a higher framerate (not that it matters for a Trails game), ability to hear That Music over large speakers, and a higher rendering resolution if you try to play it on a PSTV rather than a handheld Vita unit.

this is what that guy said

I'm done, finally, with Trails. I'll do a complete FC and SC replay maybe sometimes this summer, but man was this game good.

Chapters 7 and 8 were mostly filler, but in a good way. After the rollercoaster that was 6 some downtime was good.
Mostly filler because the end of chapter 8 is bloody awesome and kicks the plot back in motion.

Chapter 9 is the final dungeon and man do they crank it up. Good characters interactions, nice fights, the bladelord fight was a pain and an half, Weissmann was really, really satisfying.
Especially because he was fairly easy, it fits his character: for all his arrogance he really had no clue and his plan shattered to pieces the instant something didn't go exactly as planned, while he overlooked plenty of chances to close it with a good enough result.

I've found a pretty big bug at the end of Chapter 3, in the fight against Amalthea. I tried to use Schera's S-Break when a mine was going off, it didn't work, and she didn't get any more turns at all.

just finished all the tasks in the intro to tits 1 and did the csi scene. I like everything except the enemy variety. it feels like each location has 1 or 2 types of bad guys and i haven't come across anything that i would call a boss despite clearing out 2-3 dungeons. this is going to change right?

i never really noticed enemy variety one way or another, not every dungeon has a boss but there are more bosses in later chapters and lots of midboss type scripted encounters/bounty sidequests.

There are more boss-type enemies later, yeah. Also, if you do all the sidequests, you can run from pretty much all the random encounters without really missing out on EXP. (It's what I did, I love the game but drat is the combat glacial at points. :v: )

Chapter 8: I've dropped off 3 of the 4 generators. I've done nearly all the sidequests for BP but I can't seem to start the hidden one at Malga Mine. Do I need to go to the guild in Rolent first? I'm afraid to do that and lock myself into a point of no return or something.

i think so, yeah. the point of no return is when you go to grancel so it should be fine. just make a save beforehand in case.

Make sure you've done the grancel monster quests first I think. Those are the ones people accidentally lock themselves out of if they don't visit grancel before dropping off the last generator.

Yeah, it all worked out for the best. I ended up doing everything I could before going into the Rolent Bracer Guild. The mine quest didn't open until then. Beyond that I guess if you don't go to that path to Grancel you're not locked into anything.

382 Bracer points headed into the final chapter.
