So by the [tweaks to major dialogue] and [changes to the text] they mention in their [Twitter], I assume they got rid of the [brackets]?

Adding to the story talk, TitS has a very slowburner, or rather a very snowballing story, at least in FC, no idea about SC. The start is pretty small and slow (but still pretty neat), and it stays like that for a while, and then it gets bigger and bigger until the final chapter is really, really good and has about as much plot, if not more, as the previous chapters combined.

Is anyone else having trouble getting config settings to stick? I can't actually play in windowed mode because the settings somehow reset to default as soon as I exit the configuration UI.
Maybe try Save Folder.

I had actually tried TitS once before I actually beat it, and I felt fairly bored and stopped a short while in. Then a couple months later I gave it another try, but this time with the mindset of that I was going to read a book, and I was going to invest in it. I ended up really enjoying it, then.

Finished Chapter 1, Olivier owns.
He does, and is in fact also one of the best party members in the game, so he's even better.

To be more specific, if your characters are at or below level 35 when you beat the final boss, they'll start at level 35, i they're at or above 40 they'll start at 40, and they'll keep whatever it was if it's in-between.

Some might say I have gone overboard considering I just got done escorting the reporters to the top of the tower in the Prologue.



To those I say, yeah probably, but slinging around Aerials and Hell Gates and Shadow Spears is super fun.

I could have, but I like a more spread moveset right now.

Speaking of which, I just opened all of Estelle's slots. And the Silver Streak isn't as impressive when you're just one level below her.

Darn you, Shining Poms, killing you is a drug and I'm the addict. :arghfist::(

First time through, I wasn't particularly impressed with the music. This time, now that I know the pacing of the game and how things work, I appriciate it quite a bit more. It's pretty clever, musically.

Except the border gates music. Urgh.

But yeah, nobody sees that one coming even though it's foreshadowed pretty well (the part in the Prologue where Joshua feels sick right after you meet him is pretty blatant in retrospect.
It's a pretty clever bit of foreshadowing for sure, since Joshua's a mysterious boy and here are some mysterious towers so of course he's going to have some connection to them which is why he feels so weird close to this weird machine thing, yeah alright game. :rolleyes: but nope.

By the way, might wanna use Kloe. She can debuff the enemy's attack. The dude who's one-shotting you, well, he was unable to damage my characters because of it.

If you have a save file from FC, SC does detect that, yes. If you finish FC below or at 35, you start at 35. If you finish FC above or at 40, you start at 40. If you're anywhere in-between, you start at that level.

I just beat my first Ys game, Ys Origin. Yunica path.

That was very nice. :unsmith: I really liked the story, too. Perfectly concise, and a great example of how you don't need to do new things, just do old things well.

Worth noting that neither Yunica nor Hugo's stories are apparently the canonical story of what goes down, so be sure to at least beat the game with the unlockable character before you consider it done. His story's also pretty cool and both him and Yunica are way cooler than Hugo.

I feel as if I still should play Hugo for more story before doing that

Should I

Yunica was super cool, and good.

Jun 26, 2012


And that's Hugo's path done. It was good, though not as good as Yunica's.
