I am the fucking excite.

@iiicon

I just finished Trails FC on a clean 100%* Nightmare save, and I'm in no mood to play on Nightmare again for some time, so Hard it is! The game recognizes my save data so everything is good.

The school year is ending so updates will probably be weird and sporadic for a while, especially if I end up going on vacation, but I'm so hyped for this game I can't see myself playing anything else.

I'm pretty sure Loewe, whom Joshua mentioned when confronting Alba in the park, is Lorence, but aside from that I'm entirely in the dark. It's time to embark on a quest throughout Liberl to find some pizza cake.

*i missed a chest ok fuck you

Oh yeah, new music. FC's OST is part of the rotation I listen to while working, so having another soundtrack will be nice.

One thing interesting that I noticed is that Agate recognized Joshua playing The Whereabouts of Light, which is Erebonian. Between that and his interactions with Lorence, I think we'll be getting some interesting backstory on him (and how Mischa's death shaped him).

I'm vaguely aware that Kevin plays some role in 3, but not much beyond that. I'm having trouble deciding if I like or despise him. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now (but he will never replace Olivier in my heart).

My heart aches at Estelle's broken-hearted naivete.

HOLY SHIT THE BIRDS HAVE NAMES! Bagels, Waffles, Strawberry Crepe...

I'm glad to see that in Rolent nothing's changed, besides the fact that people have gotten really good at whispering since I've been gone.

In Estelle's flashback about Joshua, Professor Alba censored himself. That's real clever game.

edit: oh, and she picked up on it too. i thought I was being clever

I love Anelace. When I mentioned in Discord that I hoped to see more of her, I wondered why I was laughed at.

Holy shit, so many new Quartz and new Arts. This is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun. AND FOOD THAT CAN ATTACK! OUTSTANDING!

Thank Aidios that there aren't much Quartz I can make right now. I'd face the paralysis of choice far too early otherwise. And I'm sorry lefty and Quinton, but Anelace is going to be beating things to death for a while.

New fight music! I love Sophisticated Fight, but people in VGMCX were right, it does get old after a while.

Thanks to the chest's Mind 1, I already have La Tear (which heals 1000, nice). I like the way things are going.

I AM INVINCIBLE!

Monster chest music is hype!... there's a monster chest in the first dungeon god damn it.

The game's really doubling down on the idea that Zin carried the team in the Arena, huh? Well, Kurt would probably have kicked my ass if Anelace wasn't magically restoring EP, but I'm blaming that on my new orbment!

I killed the Jaeger with a COOKIE! I already love this game.

And attacking Space Quartz that uses 40% of my EP! And Information quartz that I can actually use!

The new boss music gives a very different feel. It's gonna take some getting used to.

Prologue isn't so tough yet. Both of the Jaegers I've fought were a bit annoying but I didn't have any real issues. Nothing can be worse than being stuck trying to defeat 4 Wisdoms* or a pack of wolves on Nightmare without being able to grind. Hell, to defeat Dalmore's pets I had to cheese them by hiding in a corner and using Estelle and Kloe's corpses as human shields!

*I actually don't think this fight is possible without godly RNG that would come up my way only extremely rarely unless you use Deathblow 2 quartz. I'll take whatever victories I can.

...I'm going to fucking kill Kurt. "Wasn't even holding back" my ass.

I'm digging Ouroboros. I feel like the Fool is trying a bit too hard, but for the most part they have the right feel for a clandestine organization of hyper-competent psychopaths, and the Faceless is a good nickname for Alba, or Weissman. I'm with you Loewe; I'd like to see a fight between the Bladelord and the Blade of Will (hopefully one that I don't have to participate in).

poor joshy :(

Agate it is! I basically promised I'd choose him without realizing it earlier, so that's the way the news goes!

Fishing? Yippee! Hopefully it's better than it was in FC.

Gambling? Yippee! I lucked out in Poker with a Full House and cleared the prize pool, so that was fun. Now I'm not sure that FONV is my favorite RPG that features gambling anymore...

Ravens with faces? This... this is kind of weird, but I'm digging it. And personalities too!

holy shit fish vomit sephith.

New highway theme!? But how will I know the way they walk in Liberl!?

This is easily the hardest battle on Nightmare in all 3 games. I literally had to load an old save and make sure to buy an absurd amount of cooking ingredients from the shopkeeper before they (Rudely!) steal access to her in order to beat it.

...I'm actually kind of wondering if they made the Prologue easier in the Evolutions version, simply because they unequivocally screwed up the balance of that section.

I get to visit the Academy again. Just what I want during Finals: to play a game taking place at a school during exam time.

If I can find HP 2, I can give Kloe Diamond Dust, which seems to have like a 90% chance to fucking freeze. In the tower I was frozen 7 times in a row; 9 times out of 10 it worked. That'd be fun.

I just remembered that last time we were in Ruan there was a bored trickster screwing with us. Has he upped his game?

I notice that all of my unfinished Ruan quests still have a "Long" timeframe. I guess I'm coming back sometime, although I'm still gonna finish these up.

It was Belden, on the balcony with the door.

I found a hidden quest in the lighthouse, so it's nice to know that I'm at least finding some things. And according to my nifty Heaven's Eye Quartz, Jabbas drop EP 2. I'm sure it won't take 40 minutes of grinding to find one!

Fishing at the lighthouse.
Fishing in Manoria.
Fishing in Ruan.
Fishing in the tower.
Fishing at Air-Letten.
Fishing in Kaldia.

I like to fish.
