Same goes for Pom and fishing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocked out every card she had and was able to club her with my fully placed and mostly buffed hand. It was intense. That was by far the toughest vantage opponent so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be other difficult opponents but not many. After this most games feel like tutorials in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) By the way, beat chapter 5 last night. God damn that ending. I'm terrified, I'm nervous, I know bad things are coming. Spoiler I also spared Olympia. I didn't spare Gerard though Edited May 13, 2022 by aneonfoxtribute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't spare Gerard though (Kuro Chapter 5 ending) Spoiler Somehow, that change of plans doesn't surprise me. Olympia gets a lot more sympathetic when you hear her backstory and how she acts right before you're asked to make The Choice. Oh yeah, I never guessed who you went with and since you ended up sparing all three I can't use that to narrow it down so I'm guessing... Ouroboros, for the novelty of it? <gets popcorn ready for the next bit> 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I'm so ready for the next story bit. Everything is gonna go so horrendously wrong. I can just FEEL it in my bones. I'm almost done with the daytime segment of the finale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) About to head to the final dungeon. A lot has happened. Spoiler Someone named C sent a message about the seventh Genesis. I imagine that's Epstein doing some weird stuff and having that message sent at the exact right time because dude probably knows everything that will happen. I was fully expecting something to go wrong at Gramheart's speech, but surprisingly we went through without incident. Harwood, Kasim, and Kincaid just chilling in Bermotti's bar was hilarious The arena fight with Zin, Walter, Lucrezia, and Shizuna was very funny. Shizuna cements her status as best girl just because of those CGs and for taking a selfie just because she wanted to take a ride Time Sept-Terrion shenanigans are probably happening since everyone gets frozen in time, also GERARD AND THE REST ARE BACK ALRIGHT That stupid circle hurt my child Renne and for that I murdered it and relished the kill greatly. How dare it. To a lesser extent, the stupid circle who also hurt my child Quatre. God I was SO mad that nobody followed up on Nina's sus nonsense. GIVE ME ANSWERS DAMMIT! And that's about all there is I wanted to note. ONWARDS TO THE FINAL DUNGEON Edited May 16, 2022 by aneonfoxtribute 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Finale Spoiler - I have a different theory about who sent that message, though I don't have a mechanism for how they'd know about the Genesis, yet. - I'm most disappointed that we never get to fight in that arena or see the Zin/Walter fight the OP shows (the two do fight in Darklight Town, but under other circumstances) so... next game hopefully. - Shizuna's a lot of fun. Since you did Ikaruga as your Chapter 5 collaboration, did you notice a trend in her conversations during those events? - Yeah, Calvard's Sept-Terrion being Time is just about guaranteed after the events of Finale. I'd been expecting Wind with the Church sitting on Time, but oh well. - Oh yeah, Nina is Sus As Hell right now... - Congrats on making it past the slog. I get what Falcom was trying to do there but dear god, that could have been condensed by a few districts... Anyhow, enjoy the final dungeon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in Calvard. But I doubt it. Yeah I was very much expecting that the whole game. But hey, not getting it keeps me on my toes. I don't think we see the scene of Agnes crying over Van's Orbment either. I haven't noticed a trend, other than her being best girl. I figured it was Time because it's literally Trails into Black.Black being Time's color Anyway, I have now beaten the final boss! So that's pretty great. When the OP hits, I jam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Finale Spoiler - Agnes' crying is at the very end after Genesis Tower, not 1:1 with the opening movie but it's there. - You might find the little side conversations that Shizuna and Kurogane have to be interesting. There's a running theme among them that seems suggestive. - Kuro isn't literally 'Black' though it's a homophone and Van actually spends a lot of time talking about the distinction, but I dunno how well that comes across in the spreadsheet. There is some distinct wordplay though. If you convert the entire title to katakana (as the game actually does) you get 黎の軌跡>クロノキセキ>Chrono Kiseki. But it's really the time shenanigans during the ending that seals the deal. And one other comment that involves Kuro II pre-release material. Spoiler - The Imperial Picnic Group is confirmed as appearing. Well, we've only seen Swin so far but where one goes the rest are pretty much guaranteed to follow. Hence I'm fairly certain who the 'C' was that sent that message, even if I couldn't tell you how he knows about the Genesis devices. Unless he poked around in Elysium's files while the camera wasn't on him during Reverie's finale. Edited May 17, 2022 by Weltall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneonfoxtribute Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Spoiler Yeah I knew C team was in Kuro 2, I saw that image. I'm not so sure it's Rufus though. It's possible but I do doubt it. Do you mean the stuff about Shizuna'a employee or something else? That part about Van talking about the distinction isn't really translated, unless you mean when he's like "What I do isn't black or white, but somewhere in between" and stuff like that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'in-between' is what 'Kuro' is all about. It also comes up in Grendel and and Vagrants-Zion's titles. - With Shizuna it's something else I was thinking about.

Briar King Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 Popping in CS4 Act 2 stuff I just took on Alan’s zauber soldats and boy did they make me sweat! Also took on General C. and the Lt. Colonel. That was a long battle full of thelas casting but I hung out for 24 minutes for the extra AP on the 1st attempt. Will continue on tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an endgame scene involving a weapon skin that shows up for Plot Reasons even if you didn't do the bonding event to unlock it for at-will usage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar King Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Popping in CS4 gripe don’t need to tag this: so I was thinking to myself what you gain when you upgrade on trial chest and I took a pic to compare for afterwards.
