I've only played the prolouge so far but it's the Trails gameplay i know and love. The new Orders mechanic might be fun to mess around with. The only issue i have is less the game itself but even on the lowest settings, it's a bit more demanding on my PC than the first two Cold Steel games. But it's not like, unplayable or anything, it just lags a little bit here and there. Nothing that would actually cause an issue.

Robert Stewart Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I finished the Geofront Zero patch today. Gonna try the Flame Ao patch soon. Sadly even though I've finished Zero twice (once before with the old leaked TL patch), I still haven't unlocked the NG+ dungeon for it yet. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah near the end of the game there's a monster extermination quest that opens a new area, but it's only on NG+. Edit: "Dungeon" might be overselling it a bit. I think it's just a new Geofront section. That's nothing compared to CS1+2 locking story content behind NG+, though.

Huh. Is it from a specifc NPC that you get it from? Because i make an effort to complete all the quests in the Crossbell and Cold Steel games (Sky has too many) and if it was on the quest board in Zero, i probably would've noticed. And yes, i did a NG+ run. Edited April 1, 2020 by Armagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: In all seriousness, while I will say that Lulua is the best game in the series (though I won't fight anyone who thinks otherwise, because arguing taste is pointless), I recommend Sophie, because it is a very relaxing game that you can play whenever you feel down. It'll cheer you right up. At least it does that for me. Think to go for Lulua first since it's a Switch game and I have played it further than Sophie yet. I expect each further Atelier game will disappoint me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Well, I was wondering if things would get harder... and they did, hahaha. The Marquis fight was... well, it was more luck-based than anything. Able to attack twice, the main thing to watch for was its chilly breath attack. Could make a dent on the party's HP. While I do have Iron Shields, which reduce breath damage... the effect was pretty negligible. Like, only about five or so was the damage reduction. Thankfully it never used its breath attack twice in the same turn. Well, the party if fully reunited now. I think I'll go chase out Balzack now. Though first, a side-trip to where the Desert Bazaar was. That may be for later tonight or tomorrow... and speaking of tomorrow... well, see ya on April 2.

Indeed it is!Nepgear > Edelgard, anyway. Though I don't hate Edelgard. 8 hours ago, Armagon said: Is that why he doesn't actually have a status screen? I'm looking at the screenshots and he's showing up on the action bar (i think) but only the girls have status screens. Indeed, that's why. Funny thing is, he does get EXP and level ups, but his stats, if he even has them, don't show up anywhere. 8 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I know how that feels... Hhhh... your flesh looks so... lively. That looks really creepy. 8 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Thats even worse than Classic SMT protags, whose only uses are: items, summoning demons, and swinging a sword or shooting a gun. At least their gun damage was usually good or at least serviceable from the start to the end, and endgame swords rocked. Of course, your magic-toting heroine companion could do everything the hero could minus the demon summoning, but with healing and slinging an Agi or Zio, so she was better. Doesn't look like Jack will be able to do any of that yet. Maybe that will change, I don't know, but for now, he's the sitting duck that facetanks things for you. The girl whose add-on he is is most definitely the muscle of that group. Even her stat-spread suggests this. 8 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: That said, as a fellow fan of dungeon crawlers, good luck and have fun! Thank you! Admittedly, I haven't gotten too far yet, so that might change as time goes on, but overall, it left a very positive first impression on me. 7 hours ago, Armagon said: Eyyy Gonna play on hard- Normal it is. Though i found out later you can change the difficulty at any time, which is something you could not do in previous games. They brought Galion Fort back, which is dope. That's one of the coolest Arts in Crossbell. Also i appreicate the little red lines that indicate how far you have to beat a boss to progress. It's good to be back. Ayy, Cold Steel 3! Hope you have fun with this one and look forward to loads and loads of callbacks! 5 hours ago, Armagon said: The new Orders mechanic might be fun to mess around with. Orders are downright broken in this. They're downright mandatory for certain fights later on where you can't even win without making good use of them.

Codename Shrimp Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Let's take a look at the Society fighting themes through the Series (up to CS2) The Start of it all against the Society, Trails in the Sky SC Spoiler And then in Sky the Third, by far the best boss fight in the series, no questions asked, has this awesome remix playing Spoiler Which has a version with Lyrics! Spoiler Then in Ao, for a certain 'fight', you get the 8-bit remix Spoiler The theme gets remixed again in CS2, which gives us the amazing Severe Blow! Spoiler Anyway, Ao beach episode time!

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 6 hours ago, BallzDeap69 said: That looks really creepy. It's Berserk Mode from Digital Devil Saga 2 (the first didn't have it for some reason). When the radiation phase cycles into 7/8ths or Max, there is a good chance that the heroes upon entering a battle (never a fixed encounter/boss though) will become Berserk. That is say they're put into a state that isn't fully human, nor entirely their Avatars (demons they become): Spoiler This state of limbo judging from the sounds they make is not so good on their minds either. In gameplay, winning a battle while Berserk earns you 2.5x Karma- EXP. Yet, Berserk lowers your Def, crit resistance, accuracy (never good in a Press Turn game), and you can't Revert/Transform, nor use non-Phys & Hunt skills On the positive side, your attacks ignore Phys resistance/null/reflect IIRC, and have a 90% crit rate. A 100% success rate if you try to flee while Berserk means you're never forced to fight this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Interdimensional Observer any tips for the second phase of the Medeus boss fight? I got past the first phase fine but in the second phase, I ended up getting trapped in a constant loop of reviving Kiria only for Medeus to kill her again with Tail (and he refuses to use that move on anybody else, it's crazy) and the thing is, she can survive the Tail but she dies to the Session Skills that follow it. I'm also trapped in a loop of having to use my EP restoring skills because Medeus really draining them (as well as Seal and Burn, two constant status effects that Medeus loves to spam).
