If we are to unite the great fell powers of Germany and Italy into one unstoppable force we need more subtly. Presenting yourself as a twenty-something year old who likes the animes was a stroke of resplendent genius, but the charade most continue. We must first beguile our future thralls a bit more and lull them into a false sense of security. Then and only then, can we go for the jugular, a turn of phrase that I think you’ll find very delectable, no? Wraith. Suppose I was your "Baron" (which I am not). How would I know that you are a loyal servant when you have already sworn allegiance to your Emperor of mankind? Only a treacherous one would serve two masters. 8 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: And Yeah, Chika is immensely popular, especially with the anime crowd (not so much with the manga crowd) The choreography is on point! Song is catchy, as well. And also, she's adorable as heck. I can see why she'd be popular based on that alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not the only one who can put on airs and be Janus faced my Baron, many webs of deceit can be woven for darkness weaves in many shades. And I never said anything about being a ‘loyal servant’, only that you signified to me that you wished to create an unholy alliance betwixt our grandiose powers.

Tbh, I thought she was the lead character of the anime based on some clips you shared from before, at least until I noticed her name isn't Kaguya. Reminds me, Kaguya was one anime that actually looked like something I'd enjoy watching.

Weird. XD I like her already though, just from that description. --- Playing Trails in the Sky right now I really have to force myself not to use the acronym... and I got an Impede 2 quartz as a quest reward. Should I really have something that strong this early? Anyway, what I find surprising is that it's a wind-element quartz here, whereas in CS, it's time-element. Not that that's a bad thing or anything, I am just surprised that they changed it come CS. And one other thing: there was a quest that asked me to help train some new recruits. At the end of the battle, they were on their knees. Similar quests in the Cold Steel trilogy? Your party are the ones on the ground, no matter how badly you curbstomped them.Shrimpy, I am beginning to fully understand you.

She sounds interesting though. 38 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Should I really have something that strong this early? Sky FC, at least in my experience, is a bit like BotW in that you get some really useful tools early on that you'll continue to use throughout the game. 15 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I'm trying to do all the quests, that's why it's taking a bit. I may decide to really take my time with SC and do the quests when I get to it. I usually like side tasks, but the story was so good in FC that I just wanted to keep progressing. --------- On a side note, I haven't mentioned how much I love the attack animations in RD. The paladins especially look so nice charging in while spinning their weapons. Then again, anything looks nice compared to how stiff PoR's animations were. Btw, I wasn't expecting to control the Greil Mercs so soon. I thought Part III immediately switched you back to the DB. And yes, Mia is an amazing unit. I really like her RD redesign.

I learned pretty quick to never take on a large group of enemies, even if I did get stronger, lol. It's kind of like FE though where the first few parts are more difficult than the later parts, because you get so strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned pretty quick to never take on a large group of enemies, even if I did get stronger, lol. Oh yeah... There are groups with five or six monsters at once very early on. I tend to avoid these, because with two people, it can get dicey, especially if three or more enemies decide to attack the same character. 5 minutes ago, twilitfalchion said: It's kind of like FE though where the first few parts are more difficult than the later parts, because you get so strong. This is known as "earlygame hell", where the game is much more difficult early on than in later parts of it. One good example would be the Etrian Odyssey series. Those games are at their roughest early on, when you don't have too many options to approach combat with. But once you have those options, the games instantly become a lot easier. Though most Etrian Odyssey games manage to stay challenging right up until the final boss. Though I honestly wouldn't call Sky FC "hell" right now. There are a few enemy groups that are better off avoided, yes, but otherwise, the game isn't too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lining up the puzzle-pieces when there's a bunch of enemies is very satisfying (though sometimes the game can be a bit stingy on what counts as a lineup), everything costs a good amount of coins, especially accessories and even after upgrading your confetti bag several times, the bigger holes will still drain a considerable amount.
