XD All jokes aside, the game is pretty lax in its difficulty on Normal. Then again, I don't believe any Compile Heart game I've played so far was all that hard to begin with, even if I did struggle at points, specifically the Black Heart fight in Re;Birth 1 comes to mind.

I did a run where I did everything nearly perfectly in preparation for Cold Steel 2 (I admit, I used a guide to find all the sidequests and extras), but I believe my party was still far, FAR from optimal. I did do a bit better in Cold Steel 2, though I never played that on Nightmare, either. 1 minute ago, Shrimperor said: Sadly, by the time she gets it every enemy resists that stuff xD Yeah, it's a bit of a shame, because I genuinely love the song itself.

Sky 3rd has a couple harder fights though (like Spoiler Cassius + Löwe , together) And Sky SC epilogue is painful enough on Hard. It made me actually lower the difficulty to Normal for a while before i found normal too easy then restarted again on Hard and tried pushing through it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpica Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I can defeat them, as in bring them to 1 HP (because game doesn't let you defeat Mr.Humburger iirc), in the first battle against them. iirc the condition to get the extra AP in that battle was to defeath Ms. Not-Saber, which was easily done. sorry for sounding arrogant xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many are there in SG, ~18? Certainly it was a production values step up for Imageepoch, albeit not enough to garner enough sales to save it and TMS#FE will be the same way twice.

Synergies being impossible to naturally accrue the FP for and unnecessary for damage, and Engagement only benefitting Roland and not being that amazing.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Sky FC was definitely the hardest game on normal for me. It is also the only of the Trails games which had no easy mode. CSII on nightmare with transfer boosts was not hard aside of the mech fights in which I screw up in general. Yet have to continue it. I am playing 3rd in nightmare right now which is not too bad so far (currently chapter 6). Chapter 3's bosses were a pain and I know about two certain bosses later which will become painful.

Armagon Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Yeah, i'm pretty stoked. While The Last Jedi thankfully wasn't just Empire Strikes Back 2, i did have a slight concern that Rise of Skywalker would just be Return of the Jedi 2. But with this trailer, those fears have been dispelled. Seems to be taking some inspiration from the Legends storyline Dark Empire (iirc it was called). There's also going to be a movie marathon at the theaters showing all nine Star Wars films in chronological order. Since classes are out by then, there's not really anything to stop me from buying a ticket to a nine movie marathon. That sounds like a lot but i can just fall asleep during Snoozefest of the Clones and then wake up when Revenge of the Sith comes up. But jokes aside, that nine movie marathon at the theater is something i'm genuianly willing to do.

Synergies being impossible to naturally accrue the FP for and unnecessary for damage, and Engagement only benefitting Roland and not being that amazing. Each witch has two main songs and there's five of them, also two "minor" short ones (Hilda has three including the Song of Ruin), plus the opening theme, Marie's Song, Song of the Moon and the Ending theme (the latter three are sung by the same actress). Crunching the numbers that makes 25. From what I've heard, the actresses who perform these songs are quite renowned in Japan, as well. Fun fact: Yoshino Nanjo, who voiced Lisette in the Japanese version (also the genius behind Levia's vocals), also voiced the character Kiria in TMS. Gameplay-wise, most of the songs are insanely useful, especially Levia, Ice World when you get it, and Rusty Key, which is a win-button in the earlygame. Not to mention that nearly all of them are great songs. In my opinion, at least. I've been told that 7th Dragon III also has some known talent (in Japan) behind its vocal themes. I know the person who performed the opening song and the 2nd True Dragon battle theme also sang the main (and final battle) theme for Nights of Azure 2, at least.

I think he is. But he's also kinda easy to miss. Basically, in the final chapter, before going to Heimdall, you can go around to other places and wrap up unfinished buisness. If you go to Ymir, there's an event with Rean's parents and afterwards, the shrine where that boss can be fought opens up. Said boss was pretty tough for me, even with some NG+ bonuses. Speaking of NG+, i kinda don't like how it works in both the Crossbell and Cold Steel games. Unlike the Sky games where you can choose what you want and leave out what you don't want, the Crossbell and Cold Steel games does the same except it only lets you carry over stuff if you have enough points for it. So the more NG+ bonuses you want, the more times you have to play the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the ending soured me on CS2 (and CS as a whole) quite a bit so I have yet to play any NG+-related stuff. Maybe I will in the future. 8 minutes ago, Armagon said: Speaking of NG+, i kinda don't like how it works in both the Crossbell and Cold Steel games.

So the more NG+ bonuses you want, the more times you have to play the games. Yeah, that's kind of dumb, I agree. The Tales series kind of has something similar with its Grade system, where you need to spend Grade to get bonuses like increased item storage (default is 30 for all usable items, you can put it up to 99 with Grade), increased starting HP or increased EXP gain, but getting said Grade is easy as hell, as you always get some after each battle. The points in CS you only earn after finishing the game IIRC, and if memory serves, you need to play CS1 no less than 15 times to carry everything over.
