Trails of Cold Steel (and the Kiseki series in general)

[aneonfoxtribute]

Kilika is more important in Sky at the moment (she'll probably be even more important in Calvard).

[Briar King]

I’m in the casino. A Count Carlisle from the Empire is here. Says he’s from the eastern side. Been quite awhile since CS1-2 but this name doesn’t seem familiar to me.

[aneonfoxtribute]

I don't think there is a Carlisle in CS

[Briar King]

Yeah I didn’t think so. Only a handful of people from it been mentioned so far.

Were the hell is Ortics Tower at though? There has been no mention of it at all and I sure don’t see it in background.

Finally finished city dialogue…now to go around the State.

Orchis Tower is in the middle of the city. It doesn't exist yet.

It must be built pretty quickly I guess then. Kinda amusing.

Bout to get back on and finish my round. Been on break trying to figure out possible eclipse plans for somewhere in TX or Arkansas with my brother/sister and their mom. Forecast looks not great this far out and I don’t want to be more than 5-6 hours away. Trying to get back home same day to Louisiana.

Hopefully some of y’all get a chance to see this thing to.

[Briar King]

Oh! Ch 3 last day stuff

im tracking P Thief B and I’m in the airport and in here is 2 dudes that I think were in CS that we’re with a freight company run by a gal that was once a noble in the town Thors took over in 3-4. Rosco and Lonnie?

[aneonfoxtribute]

I don't remember those two

[Eluvianii he/him]

If it's the Capua company then yeah, they become sort of a staple, and in Zero the company is at its newest (like a year and a half old already but yeah).

Theirs is also a thread that carries on from Sky. 

[Briar King]

I thought it was them and only cause one of them referred to someone as “her lady ship”. I think her name was Josette maybe?

[Briar King]

Finished all quests before ambien time. Time to go to Disney World tomorrow.

[aneonfoxtribute]

Yeah, Josette. She's a character from Sky. There's a LOT of Sky carryover in Crossbell, as much as there is Crossbell carryover in Cold Steel. Did you get the Renne storyline already? That's a big moment for Sky fans

[Briar King]

Yes I got past that. It was nice but I already knew the CS4 conclusion and lack any Sky beginning. Don’t really like her in CB. Just to young. Makes Millium seem like a crone. She was my least favorite during those games iyr.

[Eluvianii he/him]

Honestly, I wouldn't call her role in CS4 a conclusion. She has the single longest running character arc in the series and I'm pretty sure stuff continues to happen in Daybreak.

But yeah, I guess I wouldn't be as attached to her if it wasn't for Sky. She's my favorite character really. 

[Briar King]

I meant the conclusion just in regards to CS4 stuff

being reunited with her family

H-how could you dislike Renne, she's like one of the best characters in the series. I don't really understand your reasoning there. She's far more mature than Millium.

[Briar King]

It’s the depiction. I’ve said it a few times just  to young and small. Hell even Tio is ok and she’s only like a year older. 
 

Ch 3 last day stuff

Lechter!! That was quite amusing having him tell us we were fixing to die on the spot. Plus he was all over the place on who and what he was. Cool stuff. Loved the line about Osborne saying heavy lies the crown! Spot on! I love this series!

Yeah but I don't know what that means. I don't understand what you mean by that

[Briar King]

Dang man I’ve had a surging migraine that started right near finishing up work on my truck today at 3pm and I can’t get rid of it! I want to press on with the auction… I looked at each of my peeps outfits and it really makes me miss CSs dlc skins. Would be cool to have some here.

I can barely see straight atm. Don’t want to take another dose of pk. Might wind up being an early ambien night. 
 

ugh just downed a bc powder. I’m likely done for the night now..

hmm some small relief happening since..taking play slowly but I’m still taking ambien way earlier than normal in about 20-30 minutes so I can just get up early and fresh and knock the last day out. Idk how large this game is but judging from the fishing completion and already being on D rank 5 it can’t be that much longer till I’m on Azure.

Man Ambien really is the best pain killer even though it ain’t one! Even when I have to take my strong pills for my various pain issues they don’t go away but when it comes to fire time each night just 1 ambien melts it all away and I can sleep in pure bliss. My migraine is gone!

Ch 3 last day stuff

 

it’s pretty amusing that Wazy is a hooker lol! Who is Nikita? It sounds familiar. Wonder if I’ve run across her in CS?

Ah yes, the "Watch KeA be adorable" chapter. The best one

[Briar King]

I’m only just getting started with the dialogue round but I’m in downtown and she was getting her Trump on about Rixia’s…assets telling Lloyd to check those huuuuuuuuuggggeeee things out.

[Briar King]

Man I’m loving this game! It is really making me want to load up various files of CS4.

CB1 ch 3 last day stuff

all the stuff that happened with my people I find lacking next to what Lechter and Kilika were going off to talk about. I wish I could have stayed with those two instead! I REALLY want to find out more about her! Daybreak hurry up!

Also Lechter is still here in CB for intermission. Hmm

Once again I’m happy I went with this rather than Reverie. I’m moving through this fast much like the old days. I really like playing on the Switch. The functionality is so much better than PS rest mode in between sessions.

 

[Briar King]

Man this was a long day especially compared to yesterday with my migraine shutting me down for a while.

Im starting ch 4. I just bought my weapons. Will be a cakewalk to upgrade with my Pom spam earlier in the game. Think I’m at 96 or so U mats now. I’m stopping for the night. My eyes are fuzzy after almost 7 hours racked up today. I’m sitting at 83 hours 50 minutes currently and have enjoyed every single minute of it barring the 2 hours I fished for eels though that time isn’t included with all the loading I was doing for bait saves. 
 

Hmm what will tomorrow bring me? Revache what are you doing? Something connected with Noel’s request I wonder? Kinda wondering if this is anything like the CS things that pop up? Can’t wait to find out!

Also the guide tells me on this page that only

one more chapter remains. Kinda figured I was getting close..

[Eluvianii he/him]

Crossbell is an arc with fewer chapter but all of them dense, CS3 style. Works really well imo.
