Kind of had the same reaction, but ended up deciding I didn't really care about anyone but Kevin and Ries for those scenes.

So for that scene its common knowledge that Estelle and Joshua are the best to bring along?

I don't recall Estelle saying all that much of interest either.

If I had infinite time/patience I'd do every scene with every possible character combo in sc/tc to see all the varient dialogue.

Having finished the game now, I don't really understand the complaints I have heard over the years that if this game is localized, the rest need be too. 3rd actually serves as a very good endcap to the Trails trilogy and the main thread left hanging
was already a loose plot thread after SC. This game does add to the lore, but is mostly Kevin's self-contained story plus extra story for the the characters of the first two Trails games. It ends pretty satisfactorily all things considered.
Renne

Well like you said ENDING SPOILERS
Renne's story is completed only in Zero.The Red constellation Richard is researching is important in Zero and Ao. The Phantasmal Blaze Project is Ourobouros' operation in Crossbell. It also prepares the ground for Cold Steel with Osborne and the attack on the Erebonian Guilds. Lechter is also important in both Crossbell and Erebonia.

It certainly foreshadows future games, but the main thrust of the narrative is a self-contained conclusion to the previous Trails games. It doesn't end with some cliffhanger or horrible dangling thread that necessitates the future games being localized. If one were to abandon a series, 3rd isn't really any worse of a place to do it than SC.

I also sometimes hear the sentiment that if Sky the 3rd is localized, then the Crossbell games also have to be localized too for it to be satisfactory (this is after we already know that CS I and CS II is coming stateside, mind). I think what Basileus777 is getting at is that Sky the 3rd don't really add anything that makes the Crossbell games feel any more necessary than they already are. [All Sky, All CS]
Sure there's Renne, but we already want that resolved since Sky SC. There's the Phantasmal Blaze Plan, but we are already curious about what the heck that is from playing CS II. The Red Constellation is mentioned throughout CS, too. We already know about Lechter, etc.

Chapter 3:
Got to unlock Our Boy Josh, awaiting Our Girl Estelle. Seriously considering putting in Klaudia but the "3 Toughs up front and Kevin 'Onion' Graham in the back doing nuke and support" has worked well so far.
I brought Joshua and Renne. Joshua had some nice tidbits to say.
Renne was killing it during the majority of Chapter 6 though.
Special dialog with Philipp, Cassius, Gilbert, the Enforcers, in the Research facility,... and even with the other bosses at least some amusing tidbits.
Jesus, I was so happy when I realized I had basically won what I thought was the last round of nightmare arena. Then I saw the real last round lmao.
It's pretty much the last thing I have left to do before leaving for the final dungeon. Is it worth doing just for
? Like, will I have to make multiple parties or be forced to use more than 4 characters in the final dungeon? Because if not, I already have my roster of 4 and Anelace isn't a part of it.

Oh... Well, guess I'll give it another shot. Sucks having to replay all the previous fights just to try again, though. :/
can somebody riddle me this?
this is the map of Zemuria I suppose:
and this is the map from Trails in the Sky FC/SC
as you can see, there is no Crossblell state in this one. What gives?
also if it's a spoiler of later games, spoiler tag it, please.
The reason why I started researching it, in 3rd they mentioned some state I haven't heard of before, and it's not on any of those maps. Sorry, can't remember a name atm.
Also are there other continents aside of Zemuria? I kinda think I remember it mentioned some time, but I don't remember any specifics.

Crossbell is further northeast than the Trails in the Sky map can show.
I think you mean Ored State. It's a landlocked state toward central Zemuria, uninhabited for most part.
No continent other than Zemuria has ever been mentioned.

Crossbell also isn't mentioned in FC from what I remember, so it may not even have existed in the writer's mind at the time.

here's how the full map look like at the end of cold steel 2 (1205), so SPOILERS, don't click if you didn't finished cold steel 2 :

There's save points in the dungeon- you can only make the high level quartz + a few others like Cast 2, but at that point why would you want to make anything worse?
I thought Crossbell was independent?here's how the full map look like at the end of cold steel 2 (1205), so spoilers :

Was that Zero/Ao spoilers? I'm trying to play them in release order so I'm waiting for those before playing Sen.
Alright, cool. Kinda tempted to do it anyway, though. Noticed I had a lot of people lagging 20-25 levels behind. Could use the opportunity to grind a bit. I also spent all my mira on getting everyone better weapons and armor before I left, so I'm pretty much completely broke now lol.
edit: Oh great, Cold Steel 2 spoilers. That's the second thing I've had spoiled because people can't be bothered to use fucking spoiler tags. Goddamnit. Welp, I'm out of this thread permanently. -_-

Whoever you've selected for your remote support is lowering defense and buffing something else. I'm guessing Josette?
I haven't played Zero/Ao but I believe
it's covered in both Ao and Cold Steel 2 since they're happening roughly at the same time.

Yeah, that'd make sense. Why only for some characters though?
That's... why it's a spoiler.
It's more of a Sen II spoiler, since the game finally wraps up long after Ao ends chronologically.
But, there is a spoiler tag? Or are you reading this on mobile?
EDIT: ah, you must be talking about Jon's post. Yep, that'd do it.

Spoiler tagging images is a bad idea at any rate.
Right? How hard is it to just link it?
Well, I was mostly worried about my underleveled characters not being able to damage enemies but I pushed on anyway and it doesn't look like it'll be a problem.
Yeah, just to be clear, I wasn't talking about the map. You'd think simply avoiding CS 2 and 3 threads would be enough to remain unspoiled but apparently not...

sorry if i'm ignorant, but what's the problem with spoiler-tagging an image? Posting a link is the same?
sorry for spoiling you, but i did say it was the map at the end of cold steel 2, with the date
Image spoiler-tags don't work on mobile. As in: you're going to see a spoiler tagged image on mobile whether you want to or not.
Is probably the biggest reason.

ho shit, didn't knew that! I'll edit my post, sorry for the person i spoiled, that sucks
Oh wait, for some reason I thought the previous post I replied to was the person that had posted the map. Like I said, I wasn't talking about you. Your spoiler was tagged and clearly labeled Cold Steel 2, so I didn't click on it.
The most annoying thing is probably that I don't think this is stated anywhere and you pretty much have to hear it from someone else.ho shit, didn't knew that! I'll edit my post, sorry for the person i spoiled, that sucks

GAF really needs to either fix this, or remove the ability to spoiler-tag images entirely. Of course people are going to make the mistake you made. Not your fault at all.
