If I remember right, it's in the last road area right before the fortress. The spot will be clearly marked with a green (!) on your minimap.

So I need to kill the Story Required monster, go to Road Three and collect the poo poo before I get to the Fort?

It's on the way. It should be okay to hit up the fort before you turn those quests in. I remember the kids talking about it.

Yeah you finish that quest after the fort. Also make sure to go back to the fort after coming back to town to meet an old buddy!

Huh, I guess you can only push your midterms score up to 7th. Unless I missed something else...

Edit: Is Class VII always #1 on the average mark list for the midterms, or does it depend on your score?

Oh Yes, of course Jusis. Those poor nobles need more tanks to defend themselves from the NATIONAL ARMY! Why, these poor nobles are just defending their trumped up little states rights to deny any command from the Chancellor or even the Emperor of your own goddamn country if they don't like it! Great Noble RIGHTS MATTER!

Why don't we just give tanks to everyone?! Surely it will be important for everyone to defend themselves from their own empire just encase they need to declare their sovereign citizenship or anything!

So what the heck is the Insight status, anyway. I keep seeing the occasional thing that causes it, but no explanation whatsoever as to what it does.

I think it allows you to view enemy information without having analyzed them, but I'm not certain. I just seem to recall I could see information on enemies back in the initial schoolhouse visit with Gaius, despite not having any relevant quartz yet.

Jesus loving Christ how many scenes have to end with someone watching over the anime kids in the distance or making some sort of foreshadowing? They should have called it Trails of Foreshadowing with how much PLOT is being shoved in your face.

Wow, Cold Steel doesn't waste any time showing you just who you're going up against and a lot of what's going on must be quite unclear to people who haven't played Trails in the sky. I'm only halfway through the May field trip and while I have a good idea of what the society is most likely going for, I can't wait to see what stunts BleuBlanc will pull.

Which makes me wonder just how much I'm missing from not having spoilered myself on the games that are not translated yet.

Rean's running away from home because his sister wants to bang him, and the latest paper was all "WHO WILL THE PRINCESS DANCE WITH????" which means it will definitely be him, somehow, and probably some of his classmates or some of her peers will get all butthurt about it and make his life hell

Well it's post-christmas and I found a good deal on a PS3 to replace my dead launch model. Will be picking this up immediately. Is it available digitally? Also, is Cold Steel 2 right around the corner or are we going to be in a TitS SC situation?

Even better. So far from reading all the posts here it sounds like CS is a good game. I'm ready for a good game.

yeah im in chapter 5 and it's definitely good. it's not as good as Sky overall but it still has a good deal of what made Sky work and it's especially fun to see all the reoccurring characters and setting details

also combat is a lot faster, hooray

Honestly the UI improves in ToCS alone are a huge fuckin' improvement.

I'm playing both at the same time and it really highlights just how goddamn terrible TitS user interface is. Awful maps, bad quest markers, no quick travel, slow combat without animation skip, all kinds of little things. Some of it is a product of the era it is from but some of it is just goddamn annoying.

I like TitS's plot more so far but CS is hugely more playable.

Been playing the PSP remake of Brandish lately and I'm loving it. Halfway through the third area so far and although I constantly die in so many dumb ways it's still a blast. The only really irritating things are the loving bats.

Yeah it's all very speedy now even without mashing Start to skip animations. I also like that tbe movement grid is gone/invisible.

I trawled through a Google translated Chinese guide for Trails of Cold Steel for the locations of all of the Red Moon Rose books, if anyone is interested I can post the list under a spoiler. There are generally two per month (three in the first month, one in the last), and no two are in one day.

If you missed one you can refresh the curios section in the shop to get it, though they are pricy!
