What is everyone else’s fave? For regular battle themes: CS1 > CS4 (great but a little too short) >>> CS3 (great first 10 seconds, rest of the song is meh and too short) > CS2 > FC = SC >>> 3rd > Zero >>> Ao.

NattyBo Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 That’s quite the tier list! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 CS1 progress: I think I’m getting towards the end, based on the date and what I know happens in Crossbell. We’re traveling to the field study in Legram. Which is cool cause Laura is one of my favorite members of class VII. We’re all supposed to meet at Tangram gate after, which would put me back at the opening of the game. . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 For me it probably would be Sophisticated Fight and The Glint of Cold Steel. Get Over the Barrier has a lot of charm but at this point I think about that one more as a boss theme. May have to add CS2's theme to that list as it's growing on me fast. It's really good, if a little too synthesised. On that front, started CS2. I'm a little too hooked right now. I hope it fades away a little, otherwise I'll finish the game before I save up enough for CS3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is everyone else’s fave? My favorite would be Get Over The Barrier but that almost feels like it's cheating. Glint of Cold Steel's a great one too and I'm also really fond of Seize the Truth from Azure and a two-way tie of Like a Whirlwind and Wind-Up Yesterday from Hajimari. If I had to pick one that isn't Barrier I'd go with Seize the Truth. However, if you included rearranges I'd have to throw in this version of Sophisticated Fight. 21 hours ago, Eluvianii said: Not a theory, but a thing I noticed after compulsively listening to the final boss theme. I swear I hear just a little bit of Shine of Eidos in it. Actually, I could also swear that I hear the lyrics saying Shine of Eidos at one point. Don't think it has any relevance but I feel paranoid about it. Sometimes it's really hard to tell what they're singing but I don't recall anything that sounded like that. A couple times you can make out words though; they seem to like borrowing from the Dies Irae when they have a chorus but there's definitely English in some of the vocals. Unfortunately, they're rarely nice enough to give us a transcription, like they did with Ys Origin for the lyrics that play during Termination. That said, if parts of the song sounded familiar there's a good reason for it: The Great Power shares a melody with Vermillion Capital of Heimdallr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Finished off Lloyd and C's chapter 3. Spoiler We met Novartis, fought a fake McBurn, got Noel, if I had a nickel for every time Renne murdered dolls of her parents, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. We fought Emperor, and he turned out to be fake like I thought, and now Rufus is going off to meet Grimwood All in all, very eventful day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just played the end of Chapter 5 and about to hit the practical exam for chapter 6 in CS1. The end of chapter 5 was fun, and great to bring things full circle with the opening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait until you start Chapter 4 because there's a beautiful scene at the start of C's route which comments on events near the end of the route in the prior Chapter. Spoiler I'll just say this: Lapis is a treasure and that gang plays so well off each other. Edited June 13, 2021 by Weltall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBo Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Y'all, I'm sitting in the second hour of a zoom meeting, at 7:18PM my time, with no end in sight, and I'm thinking I'm really close to the end of CS1.... argh. CS1 Final Chapter Spoiler, Azure spoilers The festival is finished and after the dance Garrelia fortress went boom. Pretty cool seeing the reaction in Erebonia to the weapons KeA is controlling. When I turned the game off, Rean and co. were going to find Millium and Crow, who didn't show up for class with everyone else. Ol' Blood & Iron is set to give a speech at 12PM.

That transition is probably my favorite scene in the game. Spoiler The little soundtrack there is is ominous as hell. It's that little moment when nothing is happening openly just yet, but you know everything is blowing up in the background. It's a kind of frightening calm before the storm that I really like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBo Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Credits rolling on CS1. Hated the final boss fight. It wasn’t hard or anything, I just dislike when you play an insanely long party RPG and then your stats and gear don’t even matter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design for that battle system at the end wasn't refined in CS1, but take heart it was polished by CS2 and isn't dependent on RNG in CS2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBo Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Preface: not at all trying to bring politics to the thread, buuuuut My brain is broken, Vladimir Putin said today "In life there is no happiness. There’s only the mirage of happiness on the horizon. So cherish that." And all I can think of is “sounds like something a boss in Trails would say”.

Eluvianii Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 I mean, mirage is one of the seven elements.

Briar King Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Dropping in quickly. CS3 ch 4 home base stuff oh my! My very 1st thing I test out temporarily on the big new screen is the bit where Altina gets to pilot a Goliath! Ive never seen CS so large before! I’m 10 inches larger then the largest I’ve ever been and it is quite insane! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 Currently at the battle at the end of Act 1. Laura is missing quite literally all of her attacks, the rest barely do scratches, and the boss can lower the strength stat. This is gonna take a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking Hit Quartz or an accessory that boosts the stat on your heavy physical hitters is a good idea in the early game, though it will become less of a factor later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
