You will be attacked if too close to anybody, though.) Skills (updates will be given as needed):

Hmm, sounds like you'll need an elaborate setup beforehand, but if that can be repeated... *goestowork* UPDATE: Some more specific details from the cited playthrough could be useful. The top post mentions that Lute was hired for 50000. I just trained her for GF and lance rank...and her cost is only 29600. I wonder what I'm missing...

Yes, all of the above is legal, as are the bonus regalia. Indeed, I am eager to see how hiring units by logbook or SpotPass (or, as I've been calling it, sellswording) can affect golf run play. Just make sure your score isn't ruined through getting the stuff you want (i.e. by grinding).

I haven't seen many LTC threads for this game, but a few months back, I decided to give one a shot on Normal Classic. To emphasize my overall goal, I'll disclose the rules first. Rules: 1) All Chapters, Skirmishes, Paralogues, and Xenologues are allowed to be played. 2) Any item that can be accessed over the course of play is allowed to be used. 3) Any unit found in the game can be recruited. Seems...rather lax, eh? Boring, even. Well, I've saved the main wrinkle for immediately below. Goal: Kill Grima in the lowest total amount of turns possible. By "total," I mean that every turn taken to clear a Chapter, Skirmish, Paralogue, or Xenologue will be added to the final score. Suddenly, all those world-famous grinding sessions don't seem so appealing. Now, the best time to try a golf run is when your Renown is maxed out, since you'll have almost-immediate access to about 110,000G early on. I'm nowhere close to maxing out at the moment (20K range), but I managed with what I could get just fine. So, without further ado... p: 2 9: 8 19: 3 P: 4 10: 6 20: 5 1: 3 11: 8 21: 11 2: 4 12: 6 22: 6 3: 5 13: 4 23: 8 4: 3 14: 8 24: 8 5: 7 15: 7 25: 7 6: 6 16: 4 E: 3 7: 5 17: 9 8: 7 18: 8 TOTAL: 165 Again, I'm not merely including the main chapters--these are all the maps I played! No skirmish, paralogue, or xenologue was even considered, let alone attempted. I'll make key notes on my first run here a bit later. I plan to do a golf run twice more to get a better feel for the best approach, as well as to determine a par for each map. Feel free to do a golf run on your own and share your progress!

Regarding my earlier claims, I will consider any and all evidence that would contest them, but here's the basis.

A pair of morsels/reminders to share.

It could count as a Woolseyism, since what's being covered up is still described in the text beforehand, but NoA must be keeping the angry parent in mind...

LOL "fruits of their loins"... My, Bikini!Anna is proving herself rather saucy. Watch Europe get a somehow-softened text whenever they get this... UPDATE: Speaking of "softened," apparently NoA didn't want to answer for showing any wedgies...

LOL Hotrealm... Anyone have bits on the swimwear scenes (intact, changes, &c)?

Not so much a discovery as it is a correction. The name of the final, cap-boosting DLC skill is, in fact, Limit Breaker. It was previously believed it would simply be Limit Break.

LB2 is now available... ...as is Infinite Regalia!

As far as Quan goes, I'm thinking it's a stealth reference to the kana used for his name, which sounds a lot like "Q-On." I can understand the reluctance to use Gaelic names for Ayra's kids, seeing how most folks have no clue how to pronounce them. Finally, I notice the Nodion > Nordion change I mentioned earlier hasn't been noted yet. Too insignificant, perhaps?

Found a modified location name in the dialogue. Nodion -> Nordion Spoken by Raquesis, no less...

Anyone expect Quick Slash to replace the Faire skills once available? The decision would be obvious if not for the tradoffs involved.
