Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

[Saint Rubenio]

I think I might eventually have to accept defeat and drop this dumb "beat Ecclesia bosses with cubus" challenge and just start Valkyrie Profile already, because according to my calculations, the absolute best case scenario for Gravedorcus is roughly a 16 minute fight. My best time before getting hit so far is 12 minutes.

...And what awaits me if I make it? Fucking Death's RNG scythes, and Dracula's damage-taking head that stands at roughly four cubes height, and Eligor who I have zero confidence I can even defeat like this. Maybe I should commit until Funny Flying Man, and then we'll just see what I can do after... Blackmore might be doable. And Wallman is Wallman.

Meanwhile, in the timeline where Sothis was brought back:

Yawn "That was a long slumber. Wait, why am I on a slab in this dark-"

"I brought you back momma-"

"Seiros, what did you do?"

"Don't you see? You're back with me! I couldn't bear you being go-"

"Seiros, what have you done?"

Seiros proceeds to talk about the last millennium

"Seiros..... I... I can't with you. Please, just, dismantle this foolish thing you made Fodlan into and stop with the experiments."

"MOMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"Chihol, make sure she stays on course."

"Of course, Sothis"

 

Hah! Well, you know what they say about exceptions confirming the rule?

I think I did do that and check the results? But I completely forgot until now. That sounds familiar, now that you mention it, at least.

Thinking back, I'm pretty sure I just told you what would've happened myself lol, I don't think you went back to check. If I recall correctly. It's been a hot minute.

Wouldn’t be the first time you could meet a villain before they appear in the plot by doing optional stuff.

Wouldn't be the first time is was painfully obvious, either...

Still, can’t believe Ouroboros’ plan was just to get better wages and working conditions for factory workers all along.

Ouroboros were the true heroes all along. Factory Worker Garon for president.

Shit goes crazy when you start up the fight and Falcom’s best OST starts playing.

 

Ah yes, my favorite theme song in Trails.

I wonder....do they know this fact or are they completely unaware that their sibling also got Isekai'd?

 

In mainverse they do, in spin-off they thought about it, but then went "nah"

Their relationship is also complicated, since

(Spoiler Tag incase 06 wants to read it)

Spoiler

Before Isekai she indirectly caused his death, something she ofc. regretted all her life and lead to her suffering, getting disowned, abusive relationships (which lead to her death), losing custody, etc.

Her life was fucked after....

And then in Isekai she got a shit family as well.

Nah, I get the feeling you wouldn't like Persona.

Let's put it this way: Cold Steel is a game that you still get to actually play. Persona let's you play sometimes and then it's back to boring school life, repeating mundane tasks over and over in a system that only let's you do two things per day.

[Lightcosmo]

Tbh... My CS experience would have been much different had i not played Sky at all. If i hadn't, i think i would appreciate it more. 

Sky was just so amazing to me that i compared rather than took it for what it was. (CS i mean)

It should be in the public domain depending on what county you live in.

I gave up on getting all the trophies when I realized you still have to use Burst and Rush 100 times.

That's one of the easiest trophies tbh. I got it halfway through the game.

Which reminds that I still haven't gotten the CS4 platinum trophy

Is Joshua as much of a condescending jerk as I remember him?

Perhaps. Maybe you could give it another try to find out!

I might recommend you try Trails from Zero instead, but Joshua is in it and Olivier isn't, so you wouldn't like it.

Oh God you make it seem like I drew a Kaga scene...

Fun fact, I meant for the genders to be ambiguous here.

Except the pope. Only Ugly Old Men can be evil popes.

Maybe the hero and their beloved could both be guys or girls, that would mix things up.

Xenogears did well for itself, the problem was that--oops!--Square too preoccupied with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within to make another game. So if anything, Armagon should go back in time to erase that instead.

Like I said, moreso would be awkward to find physically the looks of things if I can't find one copy in libraries and it's as old as you suggest.

That does give more of a chance for Quintet to live, so I second this motion.

Though that means Monolith Soft as we know it wouldn't. So I guess erasing Xenosaga and Xenoblade as they exist right now is an acceptable sacrifice, then?

Let's be honest here. Does anyone really want to subject themselves to another 10 hours of "Ruben does not like masterpieces and is vocal about it"?

In their defense, stained glass is really cool.

Oh I would 100% like Cold Steel more than Sky, if only because Cold Steel looks like it'd give me plenty of opportunity for spite-like, whereas Sky was just boring.
