Spoiler I skipped this and its predecessor, not enough characters I know and love, but, should I? The 3DS is over, and these aren't available on the eShop anymore (licensing issue I imagine), so it'd have to be the rare physical copy. But, it is slightly tempting.

I like the combat system, (I think) but the HP pools for both players and enemies felt a little too bloated. Story-wise, it had a pretty good start, at least IMO. You mean they have too high HP bar? It is because it is a demo of a midgame dungeon. Party starts with way less HP. Actually I planned to stay out from this place for sometime, but seeing people playing Cold Steel kinda drags me back. @Acacia Sgt I did not find either Project X Zone part in my e-shop, so apparently.

Like, the combat system was really quick, but the amount of hits that enemies took kinda felt disproportionate to the pace, if that makes sense. 6 minutes ago, Jules Necrofantasia said: It is because it is a demo of a midgame dungeon.

Still, I have to play, like, every other Trails game before I get to that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave points make this broken and I prefer the orb system in the Crossbell series. The orb system in CS is the most simple, but not my favorite by any means. That's good!

The cast becomes traditionally bigger and bigger the further you make progress in a continent. Cold Steel III introduces "new" class VII and also "old" class VII later from the first two parts which will be merged. They make already about 15 characters. Cold Steel IV has more than 30 playable characters at the end. Edited January 26, 2021 by Jules Necrofantasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points you can gain during battle and use for either team attacks or to use to get some buffs / invulnerability for your team for a certain amount of turns. Since the enemy cannot get these brave points, they make it very unbalanced to the player's advantage. Oh, good. That should mean that Sky 2 and 3 also have bigger casts. Nice. I do not remember Sky 2 having more characters than 1, but 3 has a few more. Spoiler Cold Steel has by far the biggest cast because III and IV feature pretty much the entire cast from Sky and Crossbell.

On lowest difficulty, yeah, but definitely not on anything higher than easy. I think the enemies's stats take the player's brave points into account. The earlygame bosses are almost impossible to beat without using these brave points. It feels like the same as armatization in Tales of Zestiria for me which is the main reason I dislike this game. And it's also the reason Cold Steel III is my second least favorite part in the series. I only like it more than Sky FC because of the bigger character cast. Otherwise it was the "black sheep" in the Erebonian series for me. Cold Steel IV did brave points in that way better since characters's crafts were transferred into brave points, so they can't stuck anymore.

It just expands upon the characters from the first game in even more interesting ways. There are more playable characters overall though.

Even if you were him in the Zelda world it would still be hard to write because we don’t exactly know what his day to day life is like, regardless of which Ganondorf.

There is no bad Driver/Blade combination. Only time i used Overdrives more than once is in my current run where i got three of the five Ice Rare Blades on one character and i didn't want that.

Benice Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hey, @Shrimperor, more questions for Sky 1: Are there any really funny meme builds you can do on anyone? (Such as setting up character to maximize evade to absurd levels, etc.) Also, which Arts should I shoot for first? I'm sorta lost with all the options.

Npnp! When in doubt -> Bracer Notebook. It has everything you need to know. You can also ask any questions you have, we are alot of Trails players out here! Also, make sure to AT manipulate well! Although that will be more important in SC (where the UI is better and helps with that quite alot)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
