You ordered that big art book where the sprites of pretty much all the portraited characters are charging ahead? If so, you are now my unofficially adopted brother. :P I've had that one since March, courtesy of me assuming SC was gonna come out in May or so and it's been on my shelf ever since. Oh, the temptation...

i have the two that udon put out called Legend of Heroes - The Illustration and Legend of Heroes - The Characters

The one in chapter 1 is the only one, you can explore the chapter 2 one for treasure but it doesn't have a quest attached. chapter 3 makes you go, chapter 4 doesn't have one.

and the answer is no. you get some items from treasure chests and there's a brief scene where you meet alba again. that's about it

Can anyone tell me if I should spend money on the Trails in the Sky manga? I can read Japanese, but manga adaptations have a track record of being less than amazing.

how many volumes? if it's not a whole bunch it's probably super compressed, like the OVA. also manga adaptations tend to suck yeah. i can think of like two good ones, total. My gut says no

speaking of, the ouroboros is a symbol representing cyclicality which is a good image to co-op for the big baddies of the duology because the idea of circles and cyclicality is a recurring motif in the game. You have the tetracyclic towers, and the shining ring; the orbment designs, even the game itself is you literally doing the loop of Liberl.

Which is a cool motif to have because it ties into one of the big themes of the new generation taking the torch from the old generation. Which itself is something that ties in cleverly to the whole "ancient society" concept. Richard's deal is that he idealizes the old generation and doesn't view himself, as the new generation, as capable of taking on the torch. And so appropriately his solution is to rely on the past, while Estelle basically counters by saying they can rely on the people of Liberl, or the present and future.

it's hard to say too much about themes in a story half finished but the ideas they've built up are well executed even if not super deep or anything.

also i got one of my art books yay

Xseed is apparently doing a press thing today and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but there's literally a 100% chance they will announce a release date for SC and also a localization for Xanadu and yes, even Zweii II on Steam.

Meanwhile I liked the story trailer well enough, but some of the reactions I've seen elsewhere have been hilarious. If you're incapable of telling that Sara is making a joke when talking about Class VII, and are complaining about that line being some kind of "translation error", you probably aren't really in a position to judge if the dub is good or not. Just a thought.

i was going to say there's no way anyone is that detached from the idea of humor, and then i read the vita thread

On my first playthrough of tits should i not care about all the missable quests and items the game seems to have and just play it?

yeah

you can get 95% of the stuff just by checking the board and then doing those sidequests regularly and the other 5% doesn't matter much

What's your starting level if you don't transfer data vs FC's level cap, anyway.

35 is default, 50 is the cap in FC but anything above 40 is just transferred as 40.

What was added to the PSP version was, AFAIK:

- An extra piece of quartz which is kinda like Cast3 with a twist. Arts go off almost instantly, but it nerfs several of your stats (like ATK and ATS) to such a degree that the only purpose of the character is casting healing/buffing spells.

lol unless it nerfs defenses too that's gonna be broken as hell

e: Wait, it also nerfs your offensive magic stats? nvm, that seems more reasonable

I offered to redo it and it was followed by a consensus of "no" but yeah if you need any help putting poo poo together hit me up.

this is not just addressed at your specifically, but rather anyone, but what falcom games are there in english that aren't ys or kiseki?

I can think of Brandish, Xanadu Next, Nayuta no kiseki, Gurumin, LoH 3-5, and i guess alternative saga since it's both ys and kiseki.

also what are considered some of the best ys tracks? i can handle LoH but i get so focused when i play ys i end up tuning the music out and don't remember most of it
