AAAAAAAAA Spoiler Make sure to do her bonding event in Act 2 as you will get something for her. 20 hours ago, Weltall said: Sean Chiplock's been big on this sort of thing ever since CS1's release, doing clips of unvoiced lines on request as well as things people have handed him. He even ran with that silly Rean Coldsteel meme. And he's voiced a bunch of Memories of Celceta characters plus Hummel from Ys VIII for other Falcom properties. And his recent reaction to trying out the Age of Calamity demo and finding out that his character isn't in it was great. So yeah, cool guy all around. xD I love the guy so much. I remember a video where he parodied South Parks Canada voice because the tomato enemies in CS had mouths like the Canadians lol. I also learned that he voiced Diluc in Genshin Impact, but I play that with Japanese audio only so I didn't realize lol.

aneonfoxtribute Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 I always save scum bonding events. The ones I go with in the end are the ones that give me items or profile entries, and if there are some remaining points afterwards that don't give me one of them, I just go with whatever event I liked the most 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 This is an insane ramp up in difficulty. I only spent about 30 mins total yesterday playing before I got pissed off. Now today it’s about 25 minutes. Need a breather I guess to calm down and come back and lvl up a bit I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) As usual, the rule of thumb is that if you're still getting good experience from random encounters, keep doing them. Once it gets to the point that you have to grind for levels, you're at the point the game expects you to be at and it's time to advance the plot. It holds true for pretty much every Falcom game since they've been doing the weighted experience thing for a long time now. Except in Zwei, with its food-based leveling anyways. Oh, since I missed this earlier... On 10/31/2020 at 3:46 PM, Briar King said: CS2 Act 1 stuff Hide contents So another Divine Knight was in there! Maybe the woman who saved my bacon in CS1? Interesting. This is one of those connections to previous games (in this case, to Trails of Azure) as you'd recognize that character right away from their prior appearance. But the role they're playing in Cold Steel is considerably more prominent and CS gives you most of the important context anyways. <popcorn intensifies> Edited November 3, 2020 by Weltall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Wait, she showed up that early? Was she in her casual outfit? I don't remember this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weltall Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Yeah, she's dressed down in that appearance. I actually removed the comment because I figured eh, maybe that was kinda spoilery if Briar King missed it entirely. Act 1 Spoiler Duvalie is indeed dressed in her casual attire and is sitting at one of the tables at the inn, eating her way through a plate of food. Since nothing requires you to go in there at that point, she's easy to overlook. Edited November 4, 2020 by Weltall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aneonfoxtribute Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Ah, don't worry about it. It's not a big spoiler. If you had played the Crossbell games you would know her anyway so in a sense it's supposed to be known in this game.

The one I left up is CS1 stuff, the one I took out and what aneonfox was responding to is CS2 stuff, at the point you're at. I was probably being overly cautious in removing it anyways. 4 hours ago, aneonfoxtribute said: Speaking of your girl Duvalie (CS4) Reveal hidden contents P L A Y A B L E D U V A L I E L E T S G O O O O O Duvalie is a gift that keeps on giving.

Zurvanight he/him Posted November 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Finished Act 2 of CS4 yesterday (an absolutely amazing end to a slightly boring act), and beat Spoiler Zector and Rutger in the second Rivalry. I also did the special sidequest where Gilbert attacks Eryn and now I'm off to Crossbell to fight Arianrhod in the third Rivalry. I already know how it ends though ;-; 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 I will try both these side quest again once I hit lvl 75. May try at 74. I just can’t get em before I get wiped. I would hate so much to weaken side quest battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Rex. My guy. My dude. WHAT. Spoiler How in the WORLD are you taking these pictures? Elise and Alfin are currently MIA, Aurelia is being a general on a ship in an exceptionally well hidden army, and Vita is with her, and Sharon, Shirley, and Mariabell are all villains. How did you find any of these people and, in the case of the latter three, how did you not die doing it. I want the story of Rex. This is infinitely fascinating 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurvanight he/him Posted November 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 Finished Cold Steel IV last night. I managed to get the true ending easily. The final boss was nuts.

It could be one year Also, he could go the spreadsheet route Historically it has taken two years for a modern Falcom game to get localized. CS1 was released in Japan in 2013, and CS2 in 2014. XSEED acquired the rights to CS1 and CS2 at the same time. CS1 wasn't released in the West until 2015 and CS2 until 2016. NISA acquired the rights to CS3 in 2017/early 2018 and it wasn't released in the West until 2019. Ys IX released in Japan in 2019 and won't be releasing in the West until 2021.

Good luck dodging the spoilers! I already know what happens lol *massive spoilers for Hajimari ahead* Spoiler Rufus is C. Ishmelga Rean is a robot created by the Elysion System. Lapis is the original system administrator of the Elysion System until Ishmelga Rean boots her out somehow. Zoa Gilstein is the true form of the combined 7 Divine Knights and is called the Divine Knight of Zero. The 6th Anguis F Novartis manages to make a robot copy of McBurn. Also I know the final True Reverie Corridor boss is Genesis Demiurgos and was brought about by Oz XX, a prototype of KeA. Also the Grandmaster strikes a two year non intervention deal with the new president of Calvard, Roy Gramhart.

Briar King Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Ok some characters on 74 some on 73 and I got past the duel side quest. I just said screw it on the battlescope stuff and just unleashed on them. Will try the beast quest tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I have never bothered with battle scope stuff. I just got Dragon Vision and used that if I ever wanted to record enemies, but even then I didn't feel the need to because beating an enemy enough times gives you their data anyway. It's just a thing for bosses pretty much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 So I think I'm nearing the end of Act 2, and Spoiler KLOE AND CASSIUS ARE HERE OOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOD I AM SO HAPPY 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Zemuria is on a deadline, six months can be a pretty big difference. To a lesser extent since it should only affect Hajimari, the Oz XX is based on KeA rather than the other way around, being the 'lost number' prototype for the entire series who looks like KeA because of how closely she followed the data Alberich stole from the Crois family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 My goodness that was a tough fight! 23 minutes and 14 seconds. Didn’t think I was gonna get him at lvls 73-74 for real.

aneonfoxtribute Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 I believe I'm at the end of Act 2 and Spoiler Very very predictably, Olivier, Toval, and Victor are still alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
