You can. I rebound Left bumper to click left stick and swapped it with normal turbo that way. Way better on the thumbs. It will change the change leader as well, but clicking left stick to switch isn't much difference.

I just started a new run of CS3, and I selected the option to carry over crafts and orders but NOT levels, but it still had me at level 60 when I started the game proper. Has that happened to anyone else before? I just restarted the file and deselected and reselected that option again, I'll see what it does. e: that did the trick. I sometimes forget how weirdly these games are programmed. BearDrivingTruck fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Oct 7, 2020 |

OK, Finally, got through CS2. Is nightmare on CS3 doable? I want the trophy and it sounds like you can get everything in one run and I really am not interested in two playthroughs.

And you'll also need to know every dirty trick to break the game.

Disagree with that. NG Nightmare is perfectly doable by just playing smart and exploiting the systems -- CS3 in particular with Sledgehammer...

Apraxin posted:Sledgehammer can get you through most everything, but there's multiple boss fights where it isn't available. That was where I had the most trouble. Yeah, chapter 1 is easily the hardest part of CS3. That can be mitigated somewhat by equipping HP2 on as many characters as possible. Adding 1200 HP to each character will let them take at least 1 more hit while adding 10 str or ats does... just about nothing.

I don't know that I've encountered a game series like trails where you can't Google anything about it without being spoiled about 12 other things. I've known this for awhile and yet I keep googling stuff to refresh my memory or to find a map or whatever and being spoiled on something unrelated. I don't personally mind spoilers all that much but I can't help but wonder if I'd have enjoyed the game even more.

it's certainly a game series that gently punishes you for not having played each of the games as it came out, or not being japanese and then referencing the two games that Falcom decided to not release in english because Cold Steel would sell better. Yeah, there's a fan translation and a roundabout way to get a copy, but falcom still should get it pushed out into other languages.

Honestly my understanding was always that it was a choice for XSEED between putting out Zero, a sprite based game (and then by extension Azure) on a dying system that would probably be stone cold dead by the time Azure got localized, or Cold Steel on two not dead systems. I love Trails but they really made the right choice for the series. ...and now thinking about that whole thing is just a big old bummer, although even if Falcom hadn’t told the guys who busted their rears to make Trails/Ys thrive to suck a big one I guess we’d still be in this situation since Sony hosed over XSEED good and proper.

Basically Sony clamped down hard on sexually suggestive material and iirc it was one of the Senran Kagura games that got hosed over real bad and lost XSEED a ton of money.

Senran Kagura is basically XSEED’s big money maker (JP audio only for whatever reason, not a JRPG so much less text to localize, titties, owned by Marvelous which XSEED is the US branch of) and Sony decided to get strict about censorship when one or the releases was pretty much ready, so it was a massive recall that forced them to downsize. Like, I’m not familiar enough with the specifics of the content itself, but yeah that’s kind of inexcusable to just spring that on them that late given how well (re:terribly) XSEED preemptively self-censoring would have gone over.

Basically XSEED was thriving mostly off of localizing titty games featuring suggestively underage characters. (To the point XSEED was making 'they are 18' or 'ages unlisted' comments/ jokes) Sony clamped down on that and without titty game money or any big franchises to license things got rough. There also was a lot of lovely fans who flipped out if they 'censored' anything, even things like 'hey guys the letters KKK have a different meaning in the US" so they couldn't get ahead of things.

Oh, oh yeah, I had completely forgotten that XSEED also localizes those kusoge hentai thingies. Welp, I guess I'm gonna buy the Zwei games as a show of support. I imagine they are fun, but it's not like I have the time to even look at them.

I couldn’t wait for the geofront patch for Azure so decided to jump into CS1. In chapter four now and so far it seems like all Crossbell references are to Zero but how spoiled is Azure going to be for me? I will play CS2 after Azure since I read it takes place chronologically after Azure.

Chapter 5(?) of CS1 takes place at the same time as Azure Chapter 2, and Endgame Azure is roughly concurrent with about halfway-ish through CS2. CS2 also has an epilogue that is completely post-Azure. E: And yeah, to be clear, in CS1/2 most of what you get is "Wow, what the gently caress is going on in Crossbell?" instead of "Let me detail the entirety of the plot thus far."

CS3 is the one that really gets into the weeds on basically spoiling everything that goes down in Azure, 1&2 are more surface level references that don't really tell you much specifically.

I really enjoyed Zwei 2. The combat is fun and there's a lot of bonus content to chew through and find, if I recall. When I played it back then to unlock all the content, I had to find some Japanese guides to find everything. There are a lot of pets to unlock and bonus arena battles (that are tough as nails and, I'm convinced, impossible without cheating). Spoilered screenshots in case someone wants to play it and be surprised:     Question for anyone who knows: Did that costume/character in the first screenshot originate from Zwei 2 or something else? I recall seeing that character show up in Cold Steel as a plush. I tried to get into Zwei 1 but I found it too difficult.

Broken record I know, but don't go into CS3&4 thinking the title is literal, go into it as a 4th arc that is a direct sequel to all 3 prior arcs. Its Crossbell 3 and Sky 4 too basically.

Just finished chapter 1 of SC and I don't know if it's just the absence of Josh or that the returning party members so far are all my favourites but this game has a pretty strong start I think. I liked FC but I feel the writing's really stepped up. Most of the returning cast have all already had some pretty strong scenes and the new party members they've introduced all seem rad as well. The other trails games i've played start fairly slow but once the prologue was done SC got right into gear, hope it can keep this up.

Often in LoH games I'll unintentionally rush sections where I feel a sense of narrative urgency. Like, "there's no time to lose", coupled with needing to see what happens next. SC was that... Constantly.
