Thank god for turbo mode. I'm in chapter 1 and I'm already spending a good portion of my time speeding things up.

Personally I just want a thing where you can tell if an NPC has ran out of unique things to say.

Why? There's no need for anything like that with how these games work. Everyone always has something new to say at the exact same time. That would just end up putting a star or whatever next to literally every character constantly (i guess it would help in remembering who you checked already though)

Like, you talk to them once, then you could talk to them again and either get another unique dialog or they just repeat. I make it a point to talk to an NPC at least twice to see if that happens since it does sometimes in JRPGs in general. I liked the unique dialog tracking in Xenoblade 3 and I would like to see it in other places

The bubble state tracks whether you've already talked to the person, not whether they have another different line to say when you talk to them again.

Xenoblade 3 putting a mark on characters with new dialogue was nice, but because I've played a bunch of Falcom games, I ended up talking to people without marks reflexively because I felt like they *should* have new dialogue.

Yeah, the "new dialogue" highlight doesn't really activate until Kuro, and even then I didn't notice it until near the end.

In Sky you knew NPC dialogue updated whenever the ability to travel to a new region was unlocked, and in CS it was clearly denoted by changes in the time of day. But in Crossbell you neither travel to new regions nor see the time of day change from morning to noon to afternoon. IIRC in Crossbell there were some hidden quests that required you to talk to an NPC twice.

Not to mention that I recall instances where some NPC's had different stuff to say while others (mostly nameless festival goers) still had the same lines. Most of the time, when one NPC changes lines, all of them have, but not always.

If you're doing a full round of the state, you'll run into them periodically, but if it gets to be too much, check the Bracer Guild bulletin board and spy on them; most of what they do is highly relevant.

Getting the early scene where they discuss the probability of Hayworth being Renne's dad was my impetus for continuing to check everywhere . Did not realise you could just track them like that though...

I did check to confirm - some are available at the Fisherman's Guild guy (Kopan?), but some are monster drop only. I recall I specifically ended up farming just south of Crossbell for bait at one point.

while we're doing questions: is there like, some mechanic behind spawning shining poms or is it just extremely rare i killed some on ursula road that i didn't scan because i didn't realize the game makes you scan every instance of an enemy separately (great design there falcom) and now i can seemingly never run into one again here and i have a pom-shaped hole in my combat notebook

To make enemies respawn you need to leave the "zone". So, going back into the city, or going to St. Ursula. Should eventually spawn near the same location you ran into it the first time.

I've been posting about it in the RPG thread, but I played the first two Gagharv games recently, and I'm planning on playing the rest of the series after I finish Gagharv, so I figured I'd post here too. The translations were definitely bad, especially in Tear of Vermillion where even item names were often nonsense, but honestly I didn't find it to be as much of a barrier as I feared, and they both still had enjoyable plots in different ways. It wasn't really an issue in Moonlight Witch (I don't know how many changes they made in the adaptation, but it felt more modern/convenient in this regard for sure despite coming out first in Japan), but Vermillion had an insane amount of backtracking that came pretty close to ruining the game for me before the plot resolution made me like it more again. I still think it's probably good that I played Moonlight Witch first, because I don't know if I would have bothered to finish Vermillion if I hadn't already been invested, but the step down in both translation and convenience was rough, and while the plot was overall better/more coherent, I did miss the cozier vibes from Moonlight Witch a bit. I'm still very early in Song of the Ocean (I was planning to take a break, but decided to just play this one slower instead), but so far it feels like it's a turn toward being more charming again, and the translation's easily an improvement over Vermillion at least. Maybe it's weird since I can't honestly say either of the first two is a "good" game (despite liking a lot about both), but I'm pretty excited to see where this goes and wrap up the trilogy.

is just looked this up, and there are exactly four locations in the game where they can spawn, one on each road from the city and if you don't encounter one when you pass through the area on your mandatory visits, you need to go all the way to a town and then back to the exact location to have another chance at encountering them and yes, you need to scan all four individually to complete the combat notebook lmao

So I'm past the part in CS4 where you infiltrate the battleship to deactivate the magic barrier. Tbh, I kind of liked Irina and Schmidt here. For all their talk of “I’m only here because the government contracted Reinford” or “this is just part of my research,” I think the main reason for them being here, and for being on Osborne’s side this long, was to get close enough to Black Alberic to see if just maybe Franz Reinford was somewhere in there; if there was the slimmest hope that Franz could be saved. That, and to help Sharon and George flip sides, in their own way. Personally, I though the one two punch of Irinia rejecting Alberic with “only my father and late husband can call me by my first name” and Schmidt bring all “you ‘capstone’ project was mid at best, Franz’ Soldats were better” was 🤌, and it was great watching Alberic, after acting all high and mighty for one and half games, squirm and be all “I’m not owned! This victory means nothing!” That and Alberic raving like a Silicon Valley lunatic how he'll make a "Church of Science" in the aftermath of the Great Twilight, and Class 7 rightfully calling it out that Ishmelga just wants to destroy everything and Alberic is just a delusional puppet was perfect, too
