I didn't even know this was coming out lol. 14 disappointed me so I'll stick with guilty gear for now

Also the improvements to the gameplay help a lot!

Yeah Altina is in such a weird spot this game, but from an outside perspective Millium was in roughly the same spot before CS1. It just seems more jarring because we're already familiar with Altina whereas we were not with Millium at the time

think i enjoyed CS3 the least out of all the CS games. Kinda just felt like a return to CS1. That and it blue balls you all the time. Everything i wanted to do in this you have to wait for in CS4.

I can see that perspective, since it seems like they are slowing the pacing down. I don't mind it though because trails is always slow paced, I've just come to expect it. Also the tone is generally darker which helps it feel like things are still ramping up. I mean trails is a very lighthearted series in general, and this is no exception, but in general there's some darker themes running through the background of the game.

Juna gets a blonde hair attachment as a reward for a quest and she looks so much better. Pink hair is weird. This also reminded me I need to get Reans red hair whenever I get back to Thors

That boss fight with the clown archaisms that kept healing each other and poisoning people was annoying AF

Annabelle is back <3 sad to see Kenneth isn't with her

Of course Laura was the teacher. Yawn. Reans line where he said she was strong and stunningly beautiful was cringe. You're supposed to be with Alisa bro c'mon

Actually I don't think I was able to import save data for this one, is it because it was ps3 to PS4? Way to screw over us PC players man

I actually really like their idea with using a train as a mobile camp, and bringing the entire school along for the field missions instead of just Class VII. Makes it feel a lot more...homely. It's nice.

Randy's sly comments about these 'missions' seeming familiar never fail to amuse me. I'm still hoping for there being some overaching plot significance to all of these braceresque organizations forming all over the continent at the same relative time period, though I know that's a lot to ask.

Damn they have Kairi scream when Shirley attacks and they legit made him sound like a girl. Poor guy

I like how Duvalie seems to take a bigger role in each game since she's been introduced. Clearly a fan favorite

Shirley is enforcer number 17? They have that many? Damn.

Is Shirley's weapon being named testa Rossa just a coincidence? I can't imagine she'd know the significance

Fie arriving to fend off Shirley was pretty cool. They are the Jaeger teens after all.

Lmao Shirley says she would've turned this whole place to ash in 5 minutes flat. That's gotta be a reference to the fight with her dad

The fact they had Ouroboros attack their camp and cause some real damage on their first outing certainly sets the tone for this game compared to CS1. Sending 2 week old students out into battle to begin with was dark enough, but now there's consequences too? Oh man.

Laura fie and Elliot are joining now? I wonder how the game will split up the old class VII with the new kids. I like how they make a big deal out of Reans decision to be a lapdog for the government. Someone's got some daddy issues is all I'm saying.

Lechter and Michael talking about how HE set all this up. Lechter says it's amazing what he can do without his wings. His wings? My best guess is Olivier and the Courageous, but I'm a little in the dark here.

Lmfao Kurt takes Rean leaving mad personally. "Am I not enough?" And Reans straight up like nah you're not LOL. That was too savage for Rean man what the hell.

Fie gets a ride along Elie. Laura does not. Elliot...lmfao. Also his hat is equippable. Just why? The stupidest fucking hat I've ever seen.

All of their equipment is locked, so I guess that answers my question from earlier. This is a short gig and we go back to being a teacher. I mean I'm kinda fine with it because the whole Thors thing is infinitely more interesting when Reans in the role of a teacher to be honest. Also the improvement to the field mission structure helps loads. Just being with everyone goes a long way to make things feel better to play through.

The optimal thing to do would be to pair Fie with Laura l, which leaves Rean with Elliot...and I can't do that to myself. So Rean and Fie it is.

Bro Kurt is such a bitch lmao. He really needs some Machias level self actualization and to man the fuck up.

I like how Vivis reward is a picture of Rosine. In case I ever wanna look at Rosine in the middle of a field mission, you know?

Hmmm...it lets me open old class VIIs slots though? Still seems like bait to me.

I like how Jessica and Laura bro it out when you talk to her, since they're lookalikes and all.

Bro Ash and Musse are deep in the cut wtf are these two up to? Ash is clearly strongly allied with the intelligence division we knew that already...Musse seems like she's with Ouroboros somehow? She doesn't exactly seem like she's on our side now, but I'm sure she will end up there

Oh Toval confirms Fie is a bracer, nice. I thought she'd be a mercenary of some sort (just not with all the baggage of the word Jaeger). I guess Bracers are the closest thing to that though, lol

Agates joining us <3 goodbye Elliot. Also I love that he gives credit to Olivier for putting together Class VII. Since he got so many important people into one Class and made sure they were led by a Bracer, and one that he could trust. Olivier really is something special

Wait, agates not coming with us. God dammit baited again

I got my first black Zemurian ore shard. Two more to go and I get some ore.

That boss fight in the forest with the orb thing that can heal itself for 10k was tough. Took me a few tries before coming up with a good strategy that could deal with it. Orders are crucial! I do like them, they make the game more interesting. I am definitely worried about how they will affect game balance down the line though.

Elliot with blue hair is a lot less of an eyesore.

Ah I was gonna get ps5 but that's tempting. I have to imagine the ps5 would run better than my computer though, it's on a 2070

I love Fata Morgana, but it's obviously not a fair comparison to the conversation that's being had here.

I wasn't going to buy this but the reviews singing it's praises may have changed my mind

I feel like I need to train you Extha

I don't think it's possible to top that moment

Lol I'll get it back by next tourney for sure

Hes bringing it with him to a show in charlotte so I dont have any way to get it back RIP

Resident Evil Village

I'll ask my buddy again to see if hes done with the switch yet

i can play my matches on slippi instead

This is a lot more divisive than I thought it'd be

Nanis23 posted...

I wonder if it's even possible to make Hyrule Field look good while keeping it so empty

To be fair, BOTW has a lot of empty space as well

I think it's an easy choice but I'm curious what everyone else thinks

I didn't see Dickson being evil coming :(

Sometimes u gotta let ur boys play Arceus u know

Mary's mom says that she fancies Makarov but is too shy to tell him. So cute

Middle aged bounty hunter guy has to be a villain, right? I hope he's from the black workshop cuz I feel like we know so little about them

Why do Juna and Kurt know about the society? I guess Kurt kind of makes sense...Juna was just a police academy trainee? Seems like some forbidden knowledge for her

I like when Rean schools Kurt about being so pessimistic about Olivier setting them up as wannabe bracers. It's nice to see Rean actually take on a teacher role instead of what he's mostly been doing, ie. Punching bag. Take command Rean!

Claire had orders from Osborne to return to the capital and she was still boutta ignore it and come to the scene of the train accident just cuz she was worried about us. The pull of that Rean charisma too strong. Also, another train derailment, Shirley was just spotted, hmmmmmm. Where's Randy when you need him

Oh speak of the devil. Her and Duvalie get a cutscene together. Shirley's groping schtick is a lot weirder when it's in 3D lol. I wonder how the animators felt about it

Shirley's an enforcer now? I feel like I vaguely remember her joining Ouroboros when they revealed Mariabell but I don't really remember the details that well.

The road to Parm was long. So many fights

Parm might be the most boring town in trails history

I hope the dojo's new teacher is Sara. Even though that would be kind of a weird thing for her to do. It's probably Laura or something boring

Oh yeah sorry. In my last playthrough topic I called them robots the whole time. But yeah I gathered they weren't actually robots with that scene

Yeah that fire ranged 3/3 for 4 mana card they start you with seems broken. But also the AI seems really bad

CS3 is legit. Best of the Cold Steel games by far, IMO and worthy of sitting among the best in the series like SC.

What makes cs4 worse? Without spoiling anything lol

xp1337 posted...

weren't you there for aurelia's opening speech. she wasn't kidding around.

Yeah I guess not. These trash kids might as well be dispensable is still pretty dark for trails

Melia is best PC don't @ me

Lol god knows I needed it

I'm kind of tearing through this one though. CS3 is great so far

I started a fight in the keep with some turtles thing and you can see the unopened treasure chest in the battle from where we were on the field before. That's cool that you're fighting on the actual map now, I hadn't realized that yet.

Milliums new s craft is funny. How does she summon two lammys I wonder

Hey they finally came outright and stated Millium and Altina aren't human. They call them homonculi, not robots, but whatever. Kind of funny they'd do it in what is basically still the intro of this game though. Not a lot of fanfare.

There's some yellow hair dye for Millium in a chest which seems weird if she's temporary, so maybe she will be permanent later on? I like her better with the blue hair though. It seems fitting that her and Claire match

Millium called him Bean-o-Reano. Nice.

Misty!! Abend time is back <3 Vita is so nice to stay a part of our lives like this.

Ash is connected to the intelligence division somehow, and Musse is connected to...someone. She's always laughing at what we're doing so she has to know something

Claire's back <3 how I missed you. She apparently taught in Crossbell and knows Juna from there...random.

Vantage masters is such an improvement over Blade god damn

I hate how randomly they stop and start voice acting. I never know if I should wait for voices to start playing or not

Hey, it's Fie. She's a lot more mature looking. Seems like she's a bracer now or something? That suits her

Claire's in the party <3 she gets a ride along Elie. Sad she doesn't have her casual outfit to equip

I'm not really a Kurt fan yet so I'll throw Claire in over him. Im pretty sure my party's gonna end up being Ash Musse and Juna but we'll see where the game takes me. Not sure how long it'll take for them to join the team. If this game didn't have that intro sequence I don't know if I would've guessed Musse joining based on what's happened so far. I probably would have but idk. Ash is obvious though

Everything is so expensive I can only afford one weapon, and a new master quartz. Temptation to make infinite money with potato salad is real...but I won't give in

Juna just called Claire, Instructor Claire...because she taught her at the Crossbell Police Academy. It's the little things

I smile every time the sepia shots of old class VII/CS1 appear on the screen. It's adorable

Shirley's back! Of course they have her cameo for the lost cat sidequest again. Also she got hot, wow

Vivi being a journalist makes perfect sense

The boss fight against those 3 spiders in the forest was pretty rough. This game is definitely a lot harder than cs2 so far so that's good. But I remember that the challenge really just fell apart after you were able to set your characters up so hopefully they balanced those later stages properly this time

Some NPC said I can't believe I got to hear THE Elliot Craig play a song! Kill me now

I played a little more before bed. Radio Trista is back and Munk is in charge lmao. Munk getting a white text fadeover introduction does not feel right. You think they'd change the name to Radio Leeves but I guess the branding is too important

Wow they made fishing way more interesting and a lot tougher. I'm down

Ok I wasted all my bait and only caught two fish, fishing sucks I hate it

So you can trade fish for items now? They're useless beast flesh but it's better than the nothing you used to get lol

Oh shit the fangirls in the middle of town were for Kurt lmao. Good shit buddy. Actually Laura had fangirls too and I said he was like Laura so that makes sense

Oh shit Rosines at church. How are they going to deal with the whole Thomas thing? Just assume that Rean knows about it is the only way that makes sense, right...but it's weird for the players who never found out. Yeah I mean...its really weird to hide such an important plot point behind a ng+ only side quest

Ok it just threw me right into this fucking card game with no tutorial..the joys of playing on a ng+ save. Curse my need to see all bonding events

Ok I won this card game is dope. Reminds me of the ff7r integrade tower defense game a bit.

There's a hidden quest named the spice must flow. On God.

I did the money glitch making mashed potatoes until I had exactly enough to buy all the fishing shit and cards in the shop. I don't feel like being gated on minigames bro idgaf. But the rest of the game I wanna play legit so after doing all that I've only got 1k Mira left over. I use that on the wind book so I guess I cheated a little :P but I only got it cuz I'll need to get it anyway for the set it's a part of later. But after doing that I have 81 Mira left so...legit from here on out.

Jesus Christ, they're going to send these kids into actual combat week 2 of school? That's certainly...dark...far cry from how CS1 started off. These kids gotta grow up fast.

Millium joins the party for a bit. She's level 8 and has shit you can change so I guess she'll be with us for good? Idk. You can't change her orbments so not yet at least. She can at least have a ride along Elie. Only the cool kids get one.

Juna has a flashback to Lloyd talking to her and says Rean reminds her of him. Man Lloyd is so much cooler get out of here with that nonsense

Milly and Tilly, lammy and Sammy...I like it.

It seems pretty good so far, yeah

Being able to increase the FOV slider is pretty great. The max is 70 which is a little too zoomed out for me so I settle on 60. Much better than the default 45

LLLLLANDY! OHOHO! My boy Randy being a teacher is somehow fitting. I still am waiting for Elie to show up ffs. My true waifu. We got Lloyd Randy Rixia...where's my girl?

Tita and agate <33333 glad Liberl is finally starting to show up. I remember calling for tita like 4 different times in cs2 lol. Seems Falcom heard me.

Green haired chick > Pink haired chick. Mueller's brother seems like Laura.

Reading the Crossbell attractions in the library was fun

One of the kids said they're getting rid of clubs on main campus. What's going on over there? That's so sad.

Valimar calls tita a meister candidate. What's that?

Ash: "How's it feel flying around in your big gray doll, being the governments lapdog?" New best character

Musse's very horny. Maybe she'll help Rean grow up some

I bought the DLC so I could have the ride along Elie on Reans arm and it blinks at you sometimes. It kind of creeps me out

Rean keeps crows 50 Mira piece on his table. I'm going to cry

Ash is reading porn in the common area. What a Chad

Sandy says she needs to ask Tita about Liberian food. Someone's gonna learn bout some acerbic tomatoes today! ...the fact I know that proves how much of a nerd I am, but it's ok

Olivert made an app so class VII can video call each other. What a bro.

Reans room has a mirror that actually reflects his room as you move the camera around. Such technology~

Randy's room has his old jukebox <3 and a sexy girl poster that looks SUSPICIOUSLY like a certain someone

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/0/1/AAUYpeAAC6YJ.jpg

It's super cool how every student has their own room and they're all personalized. Like the train kids room has a shelf with model trains on it. I love Falcom

Tita has a framed photo of agate looooollllll

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/0/2/AAUYpeAAC6YK.jpg

The book shop has a book with proverbs about wind...I think I know who fucking wrote that

Oh you can die people's hair in this game. That's cool. I don't have enough money to get Reans red hair after buying that gift for Elise so I'll need to come back for that later

Oh nice, recommended dishes are back. I always thought those gave charm to visiting new towns.

Neinvalli is back <3 they seem like the type to move out of Crossbell to the empire. More money here right? Maybe not in this town though, you think they'd of set up in Heimdallr. No actually, it's right outside Heimdallr so rich people can still come, but there's not as much attention from the military since their not in the capital. Smaaaaartttttt!

Seems like you can get some really strong orbments here really early

Damn there's another gift... for Altina...I had to sell so much shit to get another 1000 Mira...it made her adf go up a shit ton though so I guess it's worth it.

Taking a break now cuz I got shit to do :( play more soon

I don't want to use the last topic in case Mzero doesn't want to see the spoilers. I'm not sure if he's playing it!

I am not doing anything like I did for cold steel 2, I'm just literally going to copy and paste the notes I write on my phone. If you saw my 2 playthrough topic you know I write a lot down, but there was a lot I added in post. So these will be a lot more manageable to read through, lol

On the real I don't know if I'll have my switch back by then my friend is playing Arceus pretty slow

When did I say I was signing up

Seph main adding Yoshi's story hmmmm

GUESS I CANT ENTER BECAUSE OF THE RULE CHANGE NICE JOB MODS

c

well i can ignore this topic now thank you

I played dota2 once and I used tinker. Hopefully he's #1 I liked him
