my daughter put her bfs crunchyroll on my TVs. I’m looking at a Trails of Cold Steel Northern War show…is anything on this Reverie-Daybreak spoiler territory?

Not really, only covers the namesake. So post-CS2 pre-CS3. 

[Briar King]

Just wanted to be sure.

Ive been farming for droplets in Eisengard range/Yimr Valley for about 2 weeks now. Not much progress at all just fun. Fishing for droplets is much much easier. I’m a long way from that probably though.

It's not very good tbh

[Briar King]

Good to know. I hadn’t started anyway.

Ugh I’m going to be very unhappy if this hurricane hits close and knocks power out for days or weeks disrupting my droplet farming and life in general but it’s going to suck ass if I can’t get on for awhile..

annnnnd it’s nfl season to.. just ughhhhh

Reverie 3rd arc beginning stuff

so C is back to being used and just like in CS1 I’m totally sure it’s from the persons name. I thought I made out a bit of facial hair when he was on Artcus screen to take credit for Prince O. It’s been far to many years now since I actually finished CS2 and can’t recall specifically what played out but my $ totally on C being Cayenne. I guess I have finally gotten around to the opening cutscene.

Your wording confused me for a minute lmao. I thought you were in chapter 3, not that you were just starting C's route. I was like "Wow you blazed ahead"

[Briar King]

This game is getting pretty confusing and I have to keep 3 separate tabs open for the guide. Looks like I might be looking at a 4th tab shortly to..

Strangely enough my Portal has decided to run almost console lvl smooth today! So I’m getting some dialogue round check offs done in my comfy new recliner in my bedroom. This thing is usually pretty janky even after rigging up a Cat 6 Ethernet cable. I’m hoping this continues as so far it’s been kinda a waste of $ but today has been a great change for it.

[Briar King]

It really has been almost a month... Portal is still working at mostly console smooth. Practically zero progress from last post till today. Just been farting around in the catacombs for Sepith to upgrade a bit. Opened my 4th guide tab today for corridors. Will try and speed up a bit.

[Briar King]

Unlocked Magical Girl Alisa....ummmm ok. We ll see how far i take this one if I can take it. Not to mention my lack of skill with rail shooters. Hopefully some cool costumes come out of this.

[Eluvianii he/him]

Love that thing. It's much more fleshed out than I expected.

[Briar King]

That 1st Stratum boss is harder then it has any right to be. Holy hell i have no clue how I got past that thing. 

Also....it's been about a year and 7 months since my last Vantage Master match. I won't lie i beat one person at the table in my 1st match with the default deck. 2nd person i actually remembered to build my own and I came within one more hit of winning. She has a stupid deck and got lucky with 2 of those 6hp Heavens in one round plus her 1 hp heal per round master. I was right on the verge with 1 he left on me and she drew a skill damage card. Ugh!!! Match over. My brain hurts knocking the rust off that game having to use it after that long away from the game board.

Yes I've had zero progress for weeks...

[Eluvianii he/him]

Reverie is the hardest Vantage Masters gets. I kinda gave up on the last few opponents in favor of actually finishing the game. May try a bit harder on a second run. Pom was cake tho.

[Briar King]

Her card says High Ranger and is colored. Caught my eye right away.

[Briar King]

Definitely had a bad luck hand/draw with her. I smoked her today along with ummmmm Ash...wth he was sooooooo dumbed down here...

Also did a day dream involving assassins meeting and having lunch.

[Briar King]

Holy rust divine water things are 5 pt increases... if I get a farm chance on those I ll never get to Daybreak lol

Speaking of that I'm hoping my snail progress of Rev works in my favor and Daybreak 2 will be here before I even finish 1... and I think I got a tiny nugget for Daybreak in that daydream.

[aneonfoxtribute]

Heyo, any notable progress since?

[Briar King]

Reverie Lloyd arc stuff

this Cao and Gareth 40 hit for RP fight is pissing me off something fierce about now. I'm on attempt 3 now... it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to repeat the dialog and Lau fight each time..

And ugh my time has been severely limited during holidays from TG till NYs ever since I got suckered into letting my son get on the PS5 version of GTA5. God i hated that game after a decade of watching it..

Here's hoping 3rd times the charm.

[Briar King]

If I throw that 1st match on auto mode does it scan everybody?

[aneonfoxtribute]

Probably not. I don't think the automation prioritizes scanning.

[Briar King]

I didn't think it would most likely. Ugh I ll be gearing up for that 3rd run later tonight.

I don't have many droplets for strength or ats on this group sadly unlike on C's 5pt strength divine things.. i went wild farming those into the 50 number range. Hopefully there is no 4th redo.

[Briar King]

...... 4th try coming when I cool down.

I never should have went through with this 3rd attempt watching NFL playing on Portal. To distracting but for some reason they didn't reset my health after 1st fight so I was already having to spend to many turns healing up.

Just not happy with that or myself for wasting that time distracted.

[Briar King]

4th time was the charm thanks to some lucky buffs in the action roll for me and not them but I was about 2 actions away from having to go a 5th time.. Lloyd stuff

good boy Zeit earned a doggy biscuit imo. I love Gareth's actual gangster voice and the way he mini Hulk travels/jumps.

It's been a long time now but I think I might be aggravated if CS4 ending stuff!!

Ilya turns out to be the Ourobors GM so shhhh for now.

Someone link a clip of the extra CS4 ending for me please

By the way, Illya is a major Crossbell character. 

[Briar King]

I almost want to press on with my daily session but I must get some reading time in also.

C's route Act 3(really like late R/C Act 2) stuff

There is an dlc for a mask less C and I had always just avoided unlocking it till the reveal(and I'm not thrilled who it turns into anyway after events in CS4 he can go to Gehanna) but i learned last night I couldn't unlock it anyway.. I went back and tried. We ll see what happens but I'm fond of this character or interested in a redemption arc for him. I literally could have sworn that they showed him with a goatee/facial fuzz when he 1st showed up in his vid to C7 leading me to think he was Duke Cayanne. Idk if I still have that exact scene readily available in my files. Anyway just BOO

Dialog round time! It's been more than a few months since my last one probably.
