I never read any of them. Listened to the Rose one because everyone was banging on about it being needed for CS4 and it wasn't. So i skipped 3 & 9 and it ended up actually being important in Reverie. Listening to that one after playing the game made their story so much better.

I only ended up playing it because i got a PS4 in the Black friday sales in 2015 and had nothing to play on it. The 80's soundtrack was amazing but the rest of it was just...meh.

If they ever do another contest they should bring back the losers bracket. Except this time actually set it up properly so you move to a different place in the bracket so you face different people when you lose.

If Sonic had beat Mega Man in the previous round this match would've been a lot closer. My logic is Europe never really cared much for either of these chracters but Sonic has a bigger fanbase here.

Elliot really didn't need to be a party member at all. He's pretty much only there so you can alternate between him and Emma as the main healer during field studies in the first game. They could've probably turned someone like Jusis into another healer instead as he's kinda just another sword user like Rean.

XIII is spot on. I don't think i've seen England support as low as that 2018 world cup. We'd come off the back of two awful tournaments and it basically felt like a 'just get out of the group and we'll have done well' situation. Then we basically had a knockout draw that almost felt hand picked for England and that's when the hype started. Since then we've basically had kind draws in 21,22 and 24. The only hard fixture being France in 22 and if we win that we get an easier semi final than we had in 2018. In my opinion the only thing stopping England from winning a trophy is beating one of the favourites in a knockout game. That is literally the only thing stopping them from winning silverware.

Funny you guys mention that because from next year they're having 4 matchdays in the international calendar in a 2 week break at the end of September until the first week of October. I only noticed this the other day when i was looking at the nations league stuff and i don't think anyone else has picked up on it yet.

That doesn't feel like something you're "supposed" to do, it's a fun little thing to make fun of you if you go most of the game without using basic healing items.

Yeah thankfully skits are optional. Still a pain for people that like to 100% games though.

The skits are even worse than the sidequests. I remember one in Xillia where you weren't supposed to use an apple gel until a certain point to get a skit to trigger.

That's what happens when you stockpile for a launch. I have noticed the sales in the UK have started to slow down though. Most places are restocking and it isn't shifting as quickly. All the hardcore fanboys have one now and everyone else is probably a parent waiting until closer to Christmas to get one.

I disliked Cold Steel 3, so the fact that so many people hate CS4 tells me that that's a good place to stop playing the series.

I didn't like CS3 much but CS4 is a lot better. The more i've looked into this series though it seems the more casual fans have a completely different opinion to the hardcore fans.
