Trails from Zero (and CS2 Divertissment): Yeah, I don't think I caught on to the mayor's aide either. IIRC I found him a bit suspect but not that suspect. As for Rixia, I forget if Yin is namedropped in CS2 but her crafts against Yin's are a complete giveaway.... but that would rely on remembering that kind of detail from CS2.

Cold Steel IV: Started what I guess I'll call Chapter 1 Part 2. The game didn't call it that but it feels like that. I stopped when I arrived at Milsante.
Yeah, I definitely feel like Falcom upped the difficulty from CS3. A lot of it is the tons of nerfs across the board on Delay, Break Duration, Brave Orders, Master Quartz effects but battles definitely feel a lot tougher now. Also I got curious and checked out the cryptid that appeared in the Eerie Woods and man this sure isn't CS2 where you could just roll up to a Level 100 cryptid like 40 levels below that and cheese it. I got blown up. Oh well. Ash and his Unbound Rage craft the MVPs still.
Also we have an AMAZING VOICE CLIP alert. Might even top "YOU'VE FAILED YOUR INSPECTION"
Fie's fishing quote omfg. I almost died laughing. I had kinda decided to give Leon's fishing contest idea a spin but I don't know if I can resist not having Fie fish at every. possible. opportunity. now.
