Chapter 2, just got
Gah, I can't keep up with all the characters, why do I have to choose who to take with me, they're all so awesome, except
.
I can't decide between
Any suggestions?
Also, my hoarding tendencies are in full force. I have between 700 and 1300 of all Sepith... and only bought a handful of cheap Quartz in the beginning, otherwise cruising with the default loadouts (fun fact: characters that join have better Quartz setups then Kevin and Ries...) and what I find.
Joshua
Josette
I can't decide between
Tita, Joshua and Mueller. One of them has to go. I kinda want Tita because her normal attack is surprisingly good here. Mueller is a great attacker and he's a new playable character. But I also like Joshua, but on the other hand you had to use him for the majority of the previous games anyway.
Gahh. Why is this so difficult?

He's gonna be my mule.
I... haven't thought about it that way. Suddenly it's an easy decision!
Tita and Mueller it is!
If he didn't want to be a mule maybe he should've changed his name to something that didn't include (the pronunciation of) mule.
Why would I bring The Most Boring Man in Zemuria with me unless I also had Olivert? The two must not be separated.
'sides, he has the best Support bonus so face the bench.
Actually, if you pronounce his name in german (Müller), it doesn't
Ahahaha, just after I've decided on a party, I want to enter

Then game makes the decision for you

Jokes don't work if you think through them thoroughly.

The start of Chapter 4 is pretty great.
Kevin getting called out on his shit was a great scene. And the scene between Kevin and Joshua was really good. I really want to find out more about Kevin's past; all the flashbacks so far have been really intriguing.
Man the
in Chapter 2 was a real doozy. This game is significantly more challenging than SC on hard so far, that's for sure. I even actually died once, though that was from a combination of horrible luck at the very end and attacking the wrong enemy when I still had a chance to win.
And now I get
back, it's about time I get some actual top tier characters to work with!
One thing I notice is that I'm really strapped for sepith early on since the game wastes no time in giving you a full assortment of characters to keep geared up on orbments and you need to burn sepith on money too.
I got Septium Vein and 3000 mira from beating him on the first try, is that different from what you got?

There is a similar door in chapter 3 or 4 where you get a broken weapon if you manage to win though.
It's really irritating, when I almost won he never once missed me, the times I've was more reckless and died he missed a few times. That's the same reward I got from almost beating him, I guess the only difference must be the scene following? Not worth the aggravation, I'll leave it as it is then, thanks for the reply.
BACKSTORY NO KISEKI. Contrary to popular(?) opinion, I've always loved Kloe,
so getting a fuck ton of character development was great, even if the monologuing was a little much. And the Academy kids again! Yay!
Also, I have another reason to replay cold steel when the pc port comes out, because this has completely changed my perception of a certain character. Xseed order is truly the best way to play the series.

OK, I don't have the patience to figure out how to set up cheat engine.

Err, shouldn't the first two games have taught that?

Damn, I thought Sun Door 3 would be harder. The prelim arena fights weren't too challenging until the G-Apache and minions, but Olivier and Zin work together surprisingly well.
Not the last time you'll have to organize multiple groups for a dungeon, so make sure everyone's decently leveled at intervals.Start of Chapter 3 reminds me of Final Fantasy VI
Can you hook it up to the .exe and start speedhack at all? After that, it's about setting up hotkeys so they work via KB and/or special binds on pad/mouse when the game's in focus (I use X-Mouse for one-handed play).
I mean, including folks outside your immediate 4 person party.
The final dungeon is split into 4 sections, each section you have to play as a different party.

How do you guys deal with normal encounters? CP or SP abilities?
How'd ya like it?
Loved it, reminds me of all those games from my youth. I don't know if I will ever get into the other games. I like the sprites.. the top down walking around.. the no cringey voiceacting, characters escaping their tropes, everyone having something new to say every other story bit.

Thanks, looking at the size of the tutorial I thought it would be harder. Can't get the hotkeys to work though.

I've been too busy going through Moon Door 3 to worry about Anelace and her awesome sword. Damn is this some popcorn reading, in a great way...I wish Kloe had more development earlier in SC (very much pushed back into Chapter 8), but this has compensated and then some. Also, it's a master class in tone contrast and changes. I hope there's more writing of this caliber in Zero/Ao.

Is there any bonus on beating

Chapter 2
Chapter 3 (so far)
I love how ominous Grancel is here, and I enjoyed going through it like a dungeon. FC's final dungeon was annoying, so when they went down there again I was like oh shit. Glad it wasn't what I was expecting.
Josette was one of my least favourite characters in the beginning of FC, but she really grew on me in SC so it's nice to have her so early. Major Vander's right, she is so very charming. I doubt she'd see much use in a Hard/Nightmare run, but since I'm on Easy I'll use her to my heart's content.

Chapter 3 (so far)
Didn't feel like starting the two roads right away so I decided to do a door or two first. Didn't do any doors in chapter 2 so I was craving a side story. Started with star door 3 and I enjoyed every second of it. I really needed that dose of Estelle. (Hope I can recruit her soon.) Decided to check out sun door 1 while I was at it and was surprised that even a mini-game door had some story to it. I should have known better than to think that it wouldn't.
Also, let me take this opportunity to say I love Gilbert. The guy never fails to bring a smile to my face.

So, did I accidentally skip an area or something? I'm in Chapter 2 and just made it to
Looking at the warp menu, it seems I somehow missed the first one. The first item on the warp menu is blank but I have

the bottom of the sealed area under Grancel Castle.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that missed that monument. Didn't realize it was there until I was halfway done with the chapter.

I KNEW IT
Huh, that's strange. The message of that chest changed in my game. I checked the other chests in the area and apparently all of them also changed. Maybe due to different time of day?
On the bright side, I might have unwittingly found a lost excerpt of Trails in the Chest.

Chapter 2 gives you a lot of freedom to roam once you've unlocked
Grancel Castle
Sealed Area
Sun Door 3 doesn't actually have any story to it, unfortunately, though it's implied Gilbert ran off elsewhere in Phantasma Grancel after Chapter 2 before fixing up the G-Apache and participating in the fighting prelims. What a trooper, doing two combat mini-games

I want to play this, but so busy with other games and life. Just one question (about the trilogy on general) is Sara valestein in this while she's still a bracket? That'd move it up my priority list quite a bit.
And op mentioned going to places from the first two games. I was under the impression this
