Ah ok, so it's the length of a normal chapter then. I was wondering if it was a shorter chapter.
No, final chapters in Trails games are usually the longest. In my memory the final chapter of Ao no Kiseki is as long as FC as a whole -- it just went on and on.
Oh, that one. At most, I'll see if I can find that one on YouTube, but I likely won't be going out of my way for it. Whether I feel like redoing parts for myself to watch it will depend on how I'm doing on time.
With this in mind, I'm inclined not to bother.

That's probably why mine is coming Wednesday. Damn American holidays ;_;

Does it have to be a NG+ save with lvl 80 and rank AO, or can it be your final save with those on your first playthrough?
No, any clear save is fine. Also I believe a save right before the point of no return might work too, if that cross-platform clear-save feature is any indication. Which is in keeping with previous Trails games (i.e. you can load a non-clear save if it's after the final dungeon's boss). Someone's going to have to confirm if that's a valid choice, though.
I'm waiting. It comes out at a better time for me in terms of work in November, and there are so many other games I've either got on the go or coming out in the interim that I'm perfectly happy; I've already got my eyes on Dragon Quest VII and World of Final Fantasy, not to mention Cosmic Star Heroine if that comes out in time, so there's plenty of JRPG stuff that I can buy to keep me ticking over.
It will be hard to resist spoiling myself entirely, but I shall try and be strong.

Ha ha ha no. Not even close. I thought SC had the longest final chapter - it took me about 10 hours IIRC. Though Ao's isn't much shorter.

Lol, Crock is posting it today.
Playing through the prologue again is a trip down memory lane after well over 100 hours playing through the later cbapters, lol.
That's where I'm at as well. I don't have class tomorrow so I hope I'll be able to play all day.

Picking up my copy tomorrow on my first 15 min break (which will probably take me 30 mins, lol)
Sounds like you do, as they'll remember if you helped them in CS1.
The twins are in this either way though. One of them is in a screenshot XSEED put out weeks ago.
C is straight up one of my favorite antagonists in years.
The Imperial Liberation Front is goofy as hell, but in a good way. The final act where
things go to hell is pretty much the strongest part of the game for me and it's almost entirely due to them.

Still in chapter 4, have fun with CS2 guys, I'm gonna try to beat this before the european release but I doubt I'm gonna make it.

It'll be posted in a bit.
I'll do a placeholder until I can get home since it seems a LOT of you guys got the game early.

Here's the OT
Placeholder for now, will have it up in the next two hours.
I had planned on posting later tonight but the seemingly extra early release all over caught me by surprise and in a different town away from my computer

Some of them look good and should have been their default designs (Rean, Emma, Laura), others not so much (Elliot and Fie, poor bastards). I bought them long before the sale because I wanted to support Xseed though, so as far as that was concerned they were very much worth it.
Finally playing more of this, am on 4/24 which means I'm visiting Celdic.

Ok, since ToCS2 isn't here yet I decided to give my NG+ game a try. I just had a couple of questions on the save transfer to 2 if anyone knows.
In NG+ if I got rank A0 in my first playthrough, do I need to worry about doing it again in my second playthrough? I was hoping to bum rush everything this time around, maybe getting the
for everyone, and getting myself up to 80.
Of course I kinda worry that the only thing that will transfer is the quests I complete on my most recent playthrough, that would kinda suck, as I really just want to burn through the game this time.

Yes, you'll need to do all the quests over again. Your A0 rank doesn't transfer into a new game.

Bleh, might just
go back to my last save where I can go to the old school building then to level to 80, and do the Nightmare Playthrrough another time.
I suppose another option would be downloading a save at 80 just to be done with it, assuming that ToCS allows for saves from another account.
Since I picked up Cold Steel 2 this week to complete my box package, I decided to start playing the first game. I'm 4 hours in now and this really is Trails of Persona. Haven't even had a single battle in like 2 hours now. Lol.
So what are the missables in this game. I'm in Chapter 1 now. Did I already miss 5 super important obscure items which are needed for the ultimate weapons at the end of the game?

CS1 has a bunch that are missable - optional quests, hidden quests, treasure chest, monsters, a lot of character profiles, books, master quartz. If you're not after the trophies you just need to look out for the hidden quests and if you want to see certain characters' endgame event to know what the prerequisites are (mainly that they have the appropriate link levels).

I think you cannot miss anything in the prologue. I used the GameFAQs guide which was quite helpful.Since I picked up Cold Steel 2 this week to complete my box package, I decided to start playing the first game.

Kinda in the same position as duckroll. I am currently on chapter 2 and did not use a guide so far (and dont really want to for my first playthrough). Does your notebook items (character profiles, fish, books, etc) carry over into ng+ or do you have to start from scratch all over again?

Missables are the standard series time limited sidequests and books. And a lot of it is now character notes that you can miss by not talking to a character at the right time and place.

People have been recommending this and it never set in what that would mean until I realized where some of the hidden quests are and fuck me, there's no way I could follow that advice! You'd literally end up playing for 100 hours.
There's a great guide on GameFAQs that's nearly entirely spoiler free. Everyone use that.
Anyway, this game is incredible so far. I looked up some reviews and saw some complaints about it being formulaic, but I don't see it that way. It's a standard gameplay loop that they added a lot of structure to, which gives a rhythm to the gameplay and offers a lot to introduce more and more of the world to the player.
Just got to the field study for Chapter 3. It's been a blast playing this so far, but now I just know I need CS2 in my veins!
. And hoping CS3 gets displayed at TGS.When you start a NG+ you can spend points to have your notebook transfer over. You can't get all character profiles during one playthrough either.

Yes, it is very easy to rack up 100 hours into the game:

The above is probably the one you are mentioning and it does a great job of staying spoiler free (just don't read ahead into the boss descriptions before you get there.) IT's a great way not to miss anything along the way.
