Saint Rubenio Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm trying to beat a map in Triangle Stratregy that demands I escape with everyone and suffer no losses. I mean, sure, I could cheese it with Anna, but that's boring. So instead, I'm failing over and over due to dumb mistakes. Y'know, what else is new.

Reveal hidden contents I know CSII has a segment where you play as Lloyd and Rixia, so I'd like to know if it ruins the Crossbell experience or something. NO Stuff that’s casually thrown around in Cold Steel, specifically in the first game, massively spoils Azure, and Azure gives you enough info to know where CS is going that I at least found nice when I was just doing a lot of school stuff. CS2 only really contains one light spoiler, which you referenced in the spoiler box, and other than that could I guess nicely tease Azure since you have no idea what the Azure info in that game is about, but it works equally well as an “aha!” moment for people who already played that one. Azure does “spoil” a bit of CS2, but like, super pointlessly, now that I’ve played them both. And Azure has a better plot, so it’s better that CS2 be spoiled than it. I think the best way to play the games is in release order BUT close your eyes and cover your ears during Azure’s ending movie thing.

Lightchao42 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) "Trails characters are like onions." -Shrek 4 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Star Wars fans are incredibly angry about characters like Agent Collar, Saesse Tin and Aunt Beru not being playable in Skywalker Saga while Mama the Hutt is in. Some even claim to have cancelled their preorders over playable roster misgivings. I guess they missed the fact that characters in this game are grouped into classes and types and Mama was obviously only added in to be another large character and for comedy (in my Lego game?! Unconceivable!). If I had a preorder, I would cancel it if classic characters like Guvan Dupan, Blam Supplebutt, and Zorgla Flamblakin were left out. Wait, they're from Rogue One so they can't be in the base game... at least Admiral Akbar is in. Indiana Jones should come back too. More importantly, are J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy still in? 46 minutes ago, Sooks said: Stuff that’s casually thrown around in Cold Steel, specifically in the first game, massively spoils Azure, and Azure gives you enough info to know where CS is going that I at least found nice when I was just doing a lot of school stuff.

That's strange, I'd think CSII would be the more spoilery game. If I play Crossbell first, Reverie may or may not release in October 2023 so I should be able to finish... five games between Azure's release and then, even if I'm not too concerned about playing Reverie on release.

Codename Shrimp Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I despite my current appearance used to really really really love Trails with all i am. You can kinda see this in the old posts Sooks how happy the series made me, Sooks. It's a series i used to think can do no wrong, and i was all smiley happy whenever i got to talk about it Even with CS1 i was like "It's school, it had trouble, but there's potential and it will get better...right?" so i kept my hopes up, and many people were like "CS2 is better" Then CS2 came and you can see in the thread how my mood is worsening by the post and how i was pretty negative in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I started Sky FC almost four months ago and I still haven't finished the 3rd... CS1 occurs during most of Azure and ends basically at the beginning of Azure’s mini penultimate chapter thing right before the finale. There’s not a whole lot of game left for CS2 to spoil. The big plot occurrence at the finale is mentioned, because you’ll notice Trails arcs aren’t allowed to end without at least one continent altering phenomenon taking place that the main party goes and investigates while the rest of the world is like “wut”. Also, Geofront patch! Even if you want to support Falcom, you can always buy the games once they come out instead of waiting. 6 minutes ago, Shrimpolaris said: I despite my current appearance used to really really really love Trails with all i am.

It has much higher highs and much lower lows, I’d just say I prefer it because it actually has a plot for a bit, unlike the first game.

Saint Rubenio Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Woo! I did it! I beat No Soldier Left Behind without cheesing it with Anna! With a full team, a huge amount of reinforcements appear on this map. I couldn't think of a way to slip past without losing someone (and then losing period), so I opted for a simpler strategy: kill every last one of them, damn their overwhelming numbers. That was the most difficult thing I've done in this game so far, but it was so much fun. Forces from all three countries could not even begin to stand against Lionel's ability to put people to sleep by talking too much. Hah!
