I came back to Trails of Zero because Tokyo Mirage Sessions didn't meet my expectations. Finished chapter 1. I really like this game (especially gameplay since it's similar to Cold Steel) - despite not understanding most part of it - but I wished it had more party members. This is the main issue which bothered me in Sky FC, and is also the reason, why it's the only completed Trails game I have not replayed yet. I love having variety in the party.

Raydrik and the entire Loptian clan come in mind. What they did to gain power was bararism to its extend to the "weakest" groups of the society. I usually do not despise villains, but mentioned ones and the guy from Awakening (Valdar or what his name was) had horrific or even no motivations for their inquities.

Lysithea is the best magic user in FE since Grafcalibur and Holsety for me, she shares traits with me (loving sweets, being inpatient) and she has a very serious backround.

Freepulled a +atk / -spd Lif today. It has been my very first free legendary hero, and seriously the least wanted one too, lol. I am sorry for everyone who wants but did not pull him, but I'm not fond of Heroes exclusive units, especially the villains.

Listening to Depeche Mode.

Boss told me to give me a permanent contract. Means I will never ever have to look for a job anymore, unless I will do something really severe like breaking (work) laws. Probably my biggest personal success I ever have had yet.

^ Ah, I see, thanks for the explanation! I hoped for a less complicated way, but I will try it this way. My originally plan was to add enemies only who have been shown up in a original SMW castle, but it is not going to happen then.

Promoted enemies before chapter 26 tend to have worse stats than first tier enemies (=FE8). In general the lack on enemies's stats is the reason why non JP FE9 is very easy, imo the easiest game in the series. There early game chapters are a bit challenging (mainly chapter 5 and 6), but after that it becomes simple. I really wished more bosses like Morris and Schaeffer would move, but they only do in maniac mode from what I have seen. This is why I wish a remake with JP maniac mode should be released for the west.

RIP Kobe Bryant... the world lost one of the greatest sportsmen in the passed 20 years. (and this comes by someone who hardly is interested in sports) Thanks for the explanations! I meant special perfomance then. I noticed later that Itsuki had one. After beating the second boss, I came back to the dungeon on took out the Savages.

The Gargoyles I know, are from the mid 90s....... unless they had a remake I have never ever heared from until just now.

Chapter 14x Part 1

I am playing thorugh FE5 right now casually to gain the knowledge for an ironman attempt. It will be the very first time I seriously will do this kind of challenge. But I would like to ask in advance about to get some questions regarding skill or scroll optimazation. Since bases are more important than growthrates, I am fairly sure that very most prepromotes like Dagdar or Glade are very useful in an ironman run besides units with personal and broken weapons like Orsin, Finn and especially Asbel. Olwen will be used anyways with dire thunder and vantage combo. However I am not quite certain what to do with the other gainable scrolls like sol or accost. I still have no real idea who to give accost to since Tanya's HP is too low to make permanent use of it. I remember giving it to Asbel in my very first run which was overkill, but against bosses with master weapons it was an instant kill. It might be waste because he also has adept, but I like having safe kills for him. The counterpart of getting attacked by a ballista twice, however, is a serious issue thanks to FE5's hitrates. I like to give paragon to Karin because fliers are amazing, if they have the range to reach a ballista on their own (ten move required), but I think anyone else can use it too. As for the scrolls I like to pump everything on Leif early on, and if he has the stats I was looking for, than I give them all to Karin till about level 10 and promotion to make highest possible benefit from paragon. After than I switch A LOT. Od scroll is definitely a must have for a low leveled healer (Safiya, Tina, Sara...). As for the route split I consider A better because of the recruitable units (Misha and especially Sleuf), but B has an enemy with Bhuj Iirc, but I'm also open for your opinions.

TMS question: Can the elite monsters be defeated at once? Game tells me about a Special Performance, but I do not have a clue what it is. Is it the combo attack after hitting an enemy's weakness?

I barely have played TMS yet, but the most noticable Fire Emblem element for me has been Ilyana's appearance. Admittedly I have not bought the game for the story anyways since I do not really expect anything from a crossover. I just want decent gameplay, so far TMS does its job to my satisfaction.

I just have started the game yesterday because I like creating Super Mario World Castle stages. I have a question though: Is is possible to create moving enemies like the spinning wheel from Forest Illusion Fortress and Chocolate Mountain Castle? As far as I saw they are only stationary.

Yup, I know. He also voiceacts Naesala in Heroes which I found funny enough.

I could replay the chapter at least... for a third time. Honestly it was good to play this chapter to its extend because 17a has a cookie the longer the chapter goes. Also well done, Kieran!

Oh my gooooood, I ruined my FE5 run. I forgot to recruit Sara in chapter 17a, and I have fucking overwritten my savefile. ........................

Ash carries a red coloured halberd at least. Anyways has someone here played Super Mario Maker 2? Just started with the game, and I have some questions regarding level creating.

Juna = little adorable tsun Sara I stopped playing CSIII on PS4 because I wait for the Switch version. I would have more time to play it. I have not played the Crossbell duology, but it did not stop me to start with CSIII.

Ugh... I do not know the AI behavior of Misha's squad in chapter 17. Sometimes they surround (=trap) Karin, sometimes they attack my units. Anyways I messed up anyways since I forgot let Karin talking to her. Put Misha to sleep instantly instead which was a fatal mistake.

WTF they turned Sleuf into Schroff in the new translation. It sounds really awkward to me.

^ Yeah, it's true. Hopefully there will be more references to other games than the ones the Performas are from. TMS might not have the quality of Persona in terms of plot, but it is still enjoyable so far. I hope I'll get Elonora soon, her design is most interesting of the characters I've seen yet.
