Male. 26. NSFW. All I do is retweet stuff and ramble about games I finish sometimes. Umineko, Utawarerumono, Baldr Sky, LoGH = peak fiction. Metal Gear Solid 2 is masterful.
-through all of CS again. Maybe I'll do that someday. I cant imagine Reverie will be able to hit these heights. I feel satisfied with how Erebonia and Crossbell wound up but time will tell I guess.

It was a great moment and the entire finale left me with a feeling of satisfaction despite some of the flaws in the story. Perhaps I would feel differently if I had been there at the start of these games and waited 10 years for this. Personally I loved this game so much I wouldn't mind going-

As much as I praise Towa Herschel I gotta be honest CS makes it exceptionally difficult who to choose. My favorites were Fie, Alisa, Towa, Elise, Altina. It looks truly stupid as I type this out but what really puts Towa over the edge for me as #1 is her little hat. Its just a very cute design.

You see, this is why Falcom has the mandate.

This is probably the best ongoing subplot in the series.

My favorite member of the SSS is Tio but I also gotta give a shoutout to Randy. In CS3 I didnt trust the guy at all and thought he was being setup to be a villain but these games show that was a foolish thought.

Its such a shame too. For the first 3-ish chapters I was starting to think this might be the best Trails game, maybe 2nd best. Upscaling still looks beyond godawful. I feel like Elie had shockingly little to do in this. Like some really dire stuff happens to her and its glossed over.

So my backlog alone would be enough to quench my thirst for the hobby. I also suspect that PS2 games tend to spawn into existence the moment I see some random person mention it on my TL so theres more than enough of them for me already. Anyways Zero is great despite this massive blemish.

I actually ended up doing a lot more side quests in Zero because I just wanted to know more about the city, its quite a well-realized place. Biggest problem with the game by far is the fucking AI upscaled textures. Holy shit its dire and I didnt know about this going into it.

Its so good that I got a little emotional.

The sprites are a lot more fluid compared to the 3D models of CS.I was surprised to see how cool some of the cutscene fights are. I guess I still got 1 more of both series(and both crossbell games) to go but its odd to me that Joshua and Estelle dont show up in CS3. I wonder how that will be handled

Which is strange because I just finished the game. Its kind of odd that Oroboros is an organization that combines complete goofballs and utter psychopaths. Its clearly not the focus of the franchise. I think Trails is much more so about the character arcs rather than the overarching plot.

There is no snow in Breckenridge because everything sucks but at least it's very walkable here.

Sometime soon will be my 5th? attempt to play Trails in the Sky 1. I'm usually quite patient but I've had a lot of trouble getting into that one. Tbh I don't know how people could get through any of these other games without seeing Towa with her little hat. I shall try to suffer through it.

Its pretty clear Alisa is destined to be Reans love interest but I will hold to the truth that Towa is the best. I guess I need to play the other games before I get to IV. For some reason I was always under the impression each arc was self-contained and during different time periods.

Why should I bother to finish the game when I have the only achievement that matters?

If this game were made now it would be soulless and corporate and full of inauthenticity. No corporation would allow this level of freedom for a concept like this and the references would come off flat. I think Free Radical had heart when making this and I had such a fun time playing it.

Somehow every level has its own set of weapons. I mean like it just drops 7-8 different guns on you EVERY level. What the fuck? Its staggering and they all handle and feel quite fun to use. I suppose they have similar uses but each set tends to perfectly encapsulate the time periods.

The game is exceptionally horny. Its clearly to emulate ~80's action films but every female character is just like these screenshots. Most of the game's jokes land well, although it is a bit exhausting trying to get through so many hours of pure comedy.
