Yes. 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. What i'm saying is that there is genuine incentive to battle. Awesome artwork! Love the way everyone groups up and cuddles and such! Okay. So it's got puzzle solving like most Paper Mario games, that's good. Always good when theres a reason to battle, too.

I always wondered how that worked (yes, I didn't figure this out even after 3 CS games... yes, I feel embarrassed about it) Thanks! ^^ 19 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: Atelier Estella Ngl, at times, Estelle reminds me of Meruru with how she acts and reacts to things and people.Also, I'd play that game. --- I love Aerial... Especially how, if I position Joshua right, I can bait enemies into walking right into its range. Hehehehehe...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Quote The more I play Sky FC, the more I start disliking Cold Steel. Same with me in terms of Crossbell. Least series became my favorite series. It's mainly the orbement system and main characters which make me to like Sky and Crossbell more than Erebonia.

Yeah, especially with how you can build your units in different ways through reclassing. And that's not even talking about the children characters... 1 minute ago, Julian Teehee said: It's mainly the orbement system and main characters which make me to like Sky and Crossbell more than Erebonia. Main characters is a definite point in Sky's favor. Gameplay-wise, they're pretty equal currently (but I haven't gotten that far yet), except that Arts feel a lot more meaningful, but what stands out about Sky FC to me right now is how it's missing some of the things that annoyed me to no end in Cold Steel, namely the constant character wank, and the fact that your party isn't allowed to have any meaningful accomplishments whatsoever. Also, the pacing is a lot better in Sky FC. I'm still in the Prologue, but accomplished a lot more than in CS. If this was CS, I'm pretty sure I'd still be in the middle of Bracer Guild Training...

I'm not one to praise any game for doing anything perfectly, but to me, Sky FC comes the closest to being perfectly paced out of any game I've played before.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Claude x Olivier B Spoiler Olivier: Today was a marvelous day! I’m impressed of the landscape and people here in Fodland. Claude: Yeah, and you also met the cruelty of the ladies here. Olivier: They are indeed a true challenge, but expected no less from a smart and beautiful lady in Fodlan. Well, the day isn’t over yet! Claude: Aren’t head claps enough for you? Seriously how far do you want to go in bagging girls here? Olivier: Tsk, that’s not like that. I just want to show them feel the power of my presence. They will not withstand the power of my lute and voice. Claude: I mean, true, you draw some attention, but I don’t think it’s exactly the way you wanted. Being a Casanova alone won’t be enough to get all the ladies. Olivier: These are harsh as blunt words from a straight forward looking noble. Haha, I expected no less. You truly have some knowledge anthropology. Claude: To be honest you are not really hard to be read… Olivier: Oooh, then I will try to come across more secretly. Anyways Claude, I wanted to thank you for being my acquaintance today. I feel absolutely honored being guided by the Leader of House Leicester. But can I give you a final favor? Claude: Hm, what is it? Olivier: Could you give some recommendation about the nightlife here? To be more specific is there any good tavern nearby to spend some pleasant time in the dark hour? Claude: Ugh, I have a bad feeling about this. Seriously I couldn’t trust you going to a bar all alone. Olivier: How splendid, I’d greatly appreciate if you could accompany me. Claude: No… that’s not what I meant to say. Olivier: We could spend the time together to tell our heroic stories each other from man to man. Claude: If this is really your true reason...then fine! But don’t get into mischief! Olivier: You can count on me, milord! I always find the way to the tavern and out! Claude: Well, that’s something at least. I guess I don’t have to keep you on a lead, then. I will guide you to the bar if you’re ready. Olivier: Great! I’m looking forward. This will become the most eventful night for us! Claude: …I don’t even think he’ll be wrong with that… Inside the bar Olivier: Hahaha… gulp… you’re more stable… than I thought. That’s what I expect from a modest person as you are. You’re a truly a model for your house! Claude: …Why am I just doing this to myself… gulp. Olivier: Keep going! Show me the maturity of a House Leader! Gulp… my…….. beauty…… could you bring another Rosenwasser for me and….. my prince… gulp. Waitress: What on Goddess’s sake!? Claude what’s the meaning of this!? How could you bring up such a cub to the bar!? Claude: …It was his desire. …Just don’t pay attention on him. Waitress: You put your own house into the dirt. You should disgrace yourself! Claude: Ugh… it was… gulp… jeez, women are way too impatient. Olivier: Next Rosenwasser is on the way, keep strong! Night is still young! Claude: Ugh… seriously. At least he has his fun… well… honestly… for me too… gulllllllp Olivier starts to play his lute and mumble: My dear you will hear me, it’s the charmer Olivier Lenheim you see, It is my biggest pleasure, to sing for the biggest treasure, I want you to ask to have a life, as being Olivier Lenheim’s…. wi-- ………. Claude: Gulp…damn! Waitress: He became unconscious. Seriously grab this guy and take it off from my bar! He can sober up outside. I don’t want to see you guys ever again, did you listen! Claude: Gulp… crap… how shall I just pull him!? Waitress: Get a clue! Off with you! Claude: Yeah, yeah…goodness… she has no sense for a bit fun. Looks like as if I screwed up… gulp… How shall I just grab this dude!? He has a smell of booze…sheesh! … Claude: Pant… pant… done! Why do always have to happen these things to me!? I guess I just have found a good sleeping place for you, Olivier. You liked the nature, right? You will definitely not freeze on the ground. Have a good night! gulp Sorry, I know it's bad, but I don't know how to make people drunk, much less how they sound. 12 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: Also, the pacing is a lot better in Sky FC.
