It's Trails at peak insanity. I expected it and thought I was prepared for it. Turns out I wasn't.
And the actual cliffhanger, where the action stops, it's a massive fuck you from Falcom far, far greater than CS1 ever was.

I'm guessing your username is appropriate now.

Yeah. I feel like I would like her a lot more if she would just cut that out. It's not funny anymore after a while, it just gets old and I don't even wanna know how it feels to be on the receiving end of that.
Yes, Angelica, objectively speaking, is worse. She gets physical about it too after all. Subjectively speaking, I don't dislike her as much for it as a player cause I don't have to deal with it so much. But we can assume that she does it off-screen too, which means she is worse, no doubt.
I mean, it is certainly possible they only call her out because of who is on the receiving end of it. Especially considering Angelica doesn't get much more than a "hahahaha that's our Angie /awkward atmosphere/" for it, so yeah. But in this case I am glad that it's happening at least. If I (as the player) was the only one complaining about it, when it's happening so often on-screen, I would probably stop reading Musse's lines altogether.
I have to admit I was very confused until I read that last sentence (not that I am finished yet, fat from, but you know, from what you hear).
I hope I am prepared enough to have the self-restraint to wait for the localization. Getting a Japanese copy will definitely be too much of a hassle though so i'd probably watch an LP or smth. But... I am determined not to cave in unless we don't have a CSIV localization announcement by March of next year or something.
Couple things.
1. 15 hours and I haven't noticed any real good music. Not like cold steel 1 anyways.
2. A question that I am unsure on how to ask..... It's about chapter 1 still and it's about old class 7. If you can, please try not to spoil too much.

ummm, so I just picked up Laura, fie and Elliot which I am super pumped about. My only question is quartz slots. I got burned in cold steel 2 where I pumped a ton of quartz into Sharon, and then she just bounced. I kind of don't know what to do here. Obviously rean is permanent, but I'm not sure what to do with the others. Do I just roll with what they have, or actually start unlocking slots for them?
In CS1/2 quartz and equipment put on temp characters goes back into your inventory after they leave. I haven't explicityly tested it in 3 but I don't see why they would change that.
I'm not talking about quartz. I misspoke.
I'm talking about quartz slots. You need sepith to unlock those slots. Quite a lot actually.
That sepith gets refunded?
Ahh, I've pumped sepith into all of those characters and I wouldn't say it was any abnormally high amount. I'm only early on in chapter 2 and I've had at least one case where I could bring someone with me into a battle so it seems like it's going to be a revolving cast kind of deal. They even permanently show up in your cooking and sub quartz menu for some reason.
OK thanks. Not sure where I am in chapter 1, I for sure feel the sepith squeeze lol.
No, it doesn't. But you will absolutely have more than enough sepith to unlock everyone's slots and then some really before you're more than halfway through the game. Especially if you field someone with the Kaleido master quartz or use septium vein quartz.
Also,
you're going to be using those characters again later in the game, so you will want to have all their slots unlocked at some point.
CS1s ending wasnt really insane. It was just a damn good cliffhanger/stopping point.
I'll spoil the next part in case you're not there.
CS3s is insane but in all the wrong ways. You are literally STILL in the final dungeon, having just beaten the last boss, which then culminates into an almost 30 minute cutscene of the aftermath of said fight/actions followed by the big bad insulting you, and then fade to black...
Some would say the 'death' of three certain characters was good but eh, this is Kiseki after all.

I personally loved it. It sort of combines the school based "free day" interactions of Cold Steel (Xanadu has tons of this) with the "gameplay" being dungeon crawls using a simplified version of Y's 8's combat system. Yes, the story is not quite Trails quality (as its one game put into a modern high school setting with all the anime set in high school tropes (for better and worse, however I will say this- Xandadu has FAR less pandering in terms of fan service than a lot of things, including the Trails games- this game is actually pretty tasteful throughout), and not some massive tale told over a multitude of 100 hour games over a whole continent, but I still quote enjoyed it. And since its very frequently available on PSN for like $12- get it!
Okay but why can't I romance Rosine?
That one off-hand line from Rean regarding Rosine's smile was more cute and genuine than any of the long-winded "OMG you gotten so dazzlingly beautiful" lines he gives the old Class VII girls. I ship it, and it's just been one line.
That said not sure what the rule is in Septian Church regarding romantic relationships among the clerical staff. Lol But I'd be on board.

Clearly, though to be fair he won't admit that there is something up there. XD and she is /technically/ not a nun, so (well technically Rosine isn't either).
Totally unrelated, but it seems like Sony wants to push Playstation Now really badly if they sneakily put it on my ps4 while I am playing a game. Like, Sony, I never said I wanted this, wth. Hate when any company does that. (I don't expect a reply to this since it's totally off-topic, but I needed to get that off my chest.)
I just beat the game on first playthrough! I managed to get every trophy except for the 100 S Crafts and Nightmare mode. It took me about 67 hours.
Dunno if I want to do my second playthrough now since Death Stranding is so close. I imagine it'll take me about 30 hours to blaze through a second run (similar to CS and CS2 for me) for the Platinum.

So, Millium isn't in CSIV? :(

Finished the story at about 102 hours. Even if I could openly talk about the ending I find myself literally speechless. Kind of sat here for a while in silence after powering down my ps4. The wait for CS4 is going to be extremely brutal. I can only hope we get it before the eventual next entry in the trails series.
yeah just tell me lol I already spoiled myself for the ending of CS4
I know what to expect from Japanese media, but I swear the amount of times characters just say "Rean..." or rather "*insertanyname*..." has to be more than a hundred per chapter.
If I drank a sip of light beer each time they do this I would be wasted in no time.

if you spoiled the ending you already know what happens

People bitch about EA DLC because their aggressive tactics in tying gameplay mechanics to incentivize players to buy the DLC to begin with in the form of loot boxes.
The DLC also existed in Cold Steel 1 and 2 for the PS3 and Vita versions. Keep in mind it was included in the PS4 versions for free. Most of it is pointless cosmetics and it isn't constantly shoved in your face like most the EA or Ubisoft shit is.
The difference being Cold Steel III is not specifically engineered in a way that makes it lean on its DLC bonuses. You can play through Cold Steel III on Nightmare and have absolutely no need for those Shining Pom Bait DLC packs.
If this were an EA or Ubisoft game, you'd hit brick walls multiple times where you're forced to either grind levels for days or just.....buy the levels so you can proceed.
A game just "having" DLC isn't the issue.
Hey at least they are completely optional! I remember starting my download for the digital deluxe edition and with that you get 25 DLC items, I had a total of 50 notifications in a row popping up between downloading and installed lmao
I don't like Michael Irving at all. Some of his decisions tend to come across and trying to impede the progress of Thor's Campus Branch rather than help. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he ultimately ended up as villain considering how obvious he comes across as knowing more than he lets on but not being remotely helpful in the slightest.
What I find even more suspicious is the fact he's the same rank as Claire in the RMP but he tries to pull rank? Something is off here.
There are some characters that don't hide the fact they have a secondary agenda. Case in point Lechter Arundel doesn't hide the fact he's a snake and takes orders directly from Osborne.
Michael Irving however has rotten stink every time he has something of significance to say. Meh

Huh. I mean I don't like him much either but he always just struck me as someone who takes his job a little too seriously.
But I could be wrong, no doubt.
*someone smiles or laughs*
Irving: THERE'S NO TIME FOR THIS SHIT. NO FUN ALLOWED.
I mean it's one thing to be a hardass military type. I mean you have cases like Neithardt and a few others like Zechs, but at least they come across as likeable. I get none of this with Irving.
Exactly. He's the NO FUN ALLOWED meme. He's by far my least-liked new character so far. But I suppose that's the point?
I'm 25 hours in and still on Chapter 1. Enjoying the ride, though.
Finished chapter 1 in 10 hours (turbo on even on cutscenes) and i found just black records 6. Did i miss the five before or Is It ok?
Anyway end chapter 1 cutscenes had too much going on imho. Half the material on the chapter would have been enought.
Most courious cutscene was at mid chapter anyway.
Cannot wait to play the beloved crossbell chapter.

First the Aion, than the coming back of the leader, than the leader use a strange (phantasmal??) divine knight and also easily destroyed the Aion our team struggled

Vampire like girl? Barrier? Was that a glimpse of hell or another plane of reality?

You get the old ones as you go through the game, you're good
Good. I do not want to miss them.
Also got a rank at end chapter, not playing with a guide, what i miss i will ask YouTube lol unless this comes on switch stadia or a streaming Sony device.
Anyway chapter 1 was really good, shame prologue and early chapter 1 are a snooze fest or briefing no kiseki lol.
Hopefully next chapter will skip boring parts

Question.
How many party members will I have by the end? In TOCS2 It went pretty high at the end.

Difficult question to answer. The final two dungeons give you access to New + Old Class VII, but individual members may not be available for each boss for plot reasons.
