Godzilla vs King Ghidorah came out like two weeks before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Technically, "Septerrions", or whatever the term is I've seen people mention before used in Trails, is not correct either. The proper term is "Septentriones", or "Septem triones" if you want to break the Latin into its two words, referring to the seven stars of the Big Dipper constellation.

I see. Then the term is closest to it's Latin origin. Sept-Terrion vs Septem triones. Supported by the fact that in Trails, there are seven Sept-Terrions......which can't be a coincidence because seven seems to be a theme throughout the entire series. Seven Sept-Terrions, there are seven Anguis, Class VII, Seventy-Seven Devils, Septian Church/Calendar, there are seven types of elemental magic. And then some other stuff that's more spoilery.

If there are more than seven arcs in Trails, i'm gonna call bullshit.

Well

let's see

7 sounds about right

Spoiler

we get 4 Sept terrions out of 7 in the 3 arcs so far

so 3 more sept terrions

and then one final arc to wrap it up

Don't worry, at the current rate we'll only get more games set in Erebonia going forward.

Also, I was looking for a Kiseki character sorter to do after finishing Ao, but it seems the only one that exists splits characters from different series into different sorters. 😕

The tricky part is (literally the last CS4 cutscene spoilers)

Ouroborous's next plan is the Eternal Regression plan (which reminds me of the similarly named Eternal Reocurrence from Xenosaga but whether or not it's the same in concept remains to be seen), which is said to be the final plan before the Orpheus Final Phase happens, whatever the fuck that is. 

This would mean that the Eternal Regression plan would involve the three Sept-Terrions. Oh boy, a three-arc long Ouroborous plot. Can't wait.

Yes, I'm aware of the typo.

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah was a trip. I'd put it a bit lower than Godzilla vs Biollante but it was still a fun watch.

Also appearently this movie caused some controversy back when it was released in the States since there's a scene where Godzilla pre-mutation (oh yeah, in the Hesei films, Godzilla's origin was that of a normal T-rex before being exposed to the radiation during atom bomb testing in 1954) kills a bunch of American soldiers. Not really sure why this caused controversy though. Tokyo gets destroyed in the movie but some Americans dying is bad?

I'm surprised I cleared the second Joustus House in King of Cards without more than two resets. I beat Mona on my first try, despite me barely thinking ahead with my moves. I wanted to do this before finishing the second area and taking on the Troupple King. I wish they gave you the option of Joustus or a traditional action-platformer boss fight, though I do highly appreciate that the game never forces you to play Joustus and sets it aside as wholly optional. I am interested to see how the jolly fish-fruit giant who was never fightable in prior Shovel Knight modes takes to combat, should be fun.

Septem is Latin for "Seven". Hence the month of September, which made sense, before the Romans invented January and February, which pushed September to the ninth month. 

And, there is technically a wrench that can be thrown into this numerical scheme. The Greeks and Romans must've had quite bad eyesight, because they seem to have failed to see that the Big Dipper is actually eight stars. The last one is rather dim and is very close to another of the seven, making it possible to miss, even if the early medieval Arabs who noticed it didn't use anything but their unaided eyes either. So if a BS "Secret Sept-Terrion" whose power the main protag uses to save the day when evil is about to win it all or the like shows up for any reason in Trails, it didn't come out of nowhere in terms of IRL inspiration.

If you want to go even further, a few of the stars of the Big Dipper are actually several stars whose light have over the vast distances of space converged to appear as though they are one star from the perspective of a human on Earth. But, as you can't see the stars separately except through a massive telescope or maybe only a radio telescope- which you don't directly look through it takes pictures-, it isn't relevant to constellations. I wouldn't expect one Sept-Terrion to be in three pieces to reflect reality, since thats an entirely modern discovery.

Hmm, I've finally done the Pioneer Town sidequest. The mobile release allows it to be done after meeting the Zenith Dragon, rather than at the place of the DS version.

Man, I can see how I can abuse that second casino. It has a very valuable item to exchange tokens with and sell for quite the number of gold. I'm tempted to buy those Liquid Metal Armours now...

Ah. Well then, maybe get a different game; BOTW is a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge game, so it's probably not worth it if you're not certain you'll want to explore the world.

Nah, I don't tend to purchase anything in near future until Xenoblade 1 is out.

I have tons of unfinished games yet to play which will keep me busy till end of 2021 for sure.

Been playing Mega Man games again, thought to look back on old memes and songs.

Still a great song. I'm glad someone was really bad at Mega Man 2 so this song was created.

Made my thoughts to create my top 15 Trails themes:

(Cold Steel 3 excluded but honestly I can't recall that many great themes anyways)

she is 100% right btw.

XD

Jokes aside, one scene involving Juna's fondness for her home hurts, because of how relatable and real it feels.
That same scene was where I knew for sure that I vastly prefer new Class VII over the old one.
