Repost with a character that would make for an excellent shitposter.

QoH goes ballistic when she realizes the story she made for herself can't sustain a meaningful existence. Appropriately, the appearance of the EGO corrosion reflects Don at the moment she realized that "continuing the adventure was meaningless". Both even cope in the same way: memory repression.

Having finally finished Trails Through Daybreak 2, I can safely say that despite some glaring flaws and issues, I enjoyed the game overall. Is it as good as Daybreak 1? Definitely not. Is it the worst thing to ever come out of Trails? Also no in my opinion.

"Some might be thinking, Isn't the fiddle related to Celtic music? It turns out that Celtic music is among the roots of country music. This is a nice example of how musical cultures have changed and evolved across different countries and regions"

"The melody is provided by analog synth leads and solo vocals. The fusion of metallic and acoustic sounds is the theme of this song in general, but the electric sitar is the best part! It also adds an exotic sound"

"In the first half of the piece, Mio's "Off-Seer" phrase is used, and Miyabi's "Life" is used in the middle part as a contrast. The difference in emotion between the two performances is expressed as the importance of conveying one's thoughts"

"This piece starts with quiet guitar arpeggios that seem to speak haltingly to the listener but builds to a piece awash with emotion. As I composed it, I was imagining a character privately giving voice to their innermost feelings"

"For the scene where Noah and Mio's memories of the past flow into each other, I wanted to use a mysterious voice to create an impressive scene, so I asked Aisling McGlynn (ANÚNA) to do this. I think we were able to express the first experience of interlinking"

"When thinking about the method I used to express conflict through music, I decided to repeat the same phrase.
By repeating the same phrase, it gives the feeling of being unable to move forward, of hitting a wall."

"Yumika Miyazaki's flute played the leading role, with my piano, TABOKUN’s double bass, and Yu Yamauchi on drums, who switched from sticks to brushes for this piece. His playing was inspired by the sound of insects under the starry skies of Mor Ardain"

"The guitar tones are programmed guitar sounds from an ethnic library, and the live string and flute sounds make the programmed parts sound strangely live, which is a common feature of live recordings"

"I composed this track with the image of a highland night where the stars feel close, centering it around a gut guitar and woodwinds, complemented by strings and synthesizers. The glockenspiel and wind chimes add a sparkling touch, evoking the twinkling stars"

"The Leaflands are a region of green foliage and richly colored flowers amid mild pastoral landscapes. This is where Agnea starts her journey, and the Leaflands field theme follows the same approach of using Celtic motifs as her character theme."

This is genuinely amazing in terms of attention-to-detail and character acting. It's clear that so much love went into these animations.

I can't believe we're in an age where Trails can match and maybe even surpass its contemporaries in terms of presentation.
