‘Maid-like Girl’? Really? Which part of her isn’t maid-like? She’s wearing the heckin’ uniform and everything.
And Rean, my dude. That was far too delayed a reaction to ‘why does a stranger know my name’.
Oh. O~h. I do not think I did well on the midterms. You know, I really thought I was beyond this.
I know there’s no (immediate) reason to give milk to Celine, but I’m never not going to.
Locked in a classroom! yes! They really did it! Oh man, could there be a more ‘highschool rom-com’ trope for them to pull? Excellent.
Ninja miad. Ninja maid! Excellent! Love that ‘I’ll come when you call me’ vibe. Truly brilliant.
Gasp. Laura likes Dogi. She’s one of us. One of us! ONE OF US! Never before has my kinship with a character been higher.
Huh. Beryl has gold eyes. She claims to have weird powers. Was she also a victim of the D/G Cult? Is she on Gnosis? Concern.
I forget if I mentioned last time, but this elevator in the old schoolhouse seriously reminds me of the planes of Phantasma. Seriously.
Oh boy. I just love random deathblow rodents. Aren’t they just so much fun?
“That’s a nice monster chest you have there. It would be a shame if… Aerial.” -Emma Millstein, 1204 S.C. Probably.
Huh. I think the first few notes of Heimdallr’s theme are the same as the first few in Grancel Castle’s. That’s neat.
Well. The princess is certainly very Olivier, that’s for sure.
The… The Eisengard Range? Is that where they took the Hobbits? [Footnote 1].
Ah, gotta love it. Rean and Emma are all nervous to meet the famous businesswoman and Gaius is just ‘Hello. Nice to meet you.’
Ey! Vander! Where’s Mueller?
…
I mean, I know vaguely where he is, but you get the point.
Oh, brilliant. Only four horses. If this doesn’t end with Rean and Alisa riding double…
Boo! Lame! That was a perfect Tsun moment! A softball! A granny pitch. And you wasted it!
Wild Rage! Let’s gooooooooooooooooooo!
Oh. And here we are again with me teaching small kids things I don’t quite remember. I really, really can’t say what the right answer on this population question is.
Gaius with the Force MQ? Pretty good.
And I thought Crafts are supposed to be king in Coldsteel, but Aerial? Still pretty good.
Hybrids? Still pretty bad.
‘Ah yes, there’s these new unbalance mechanics and combat links to make physical attackers feel more diverse.’
Me: Still running [Wild Rage].mp4 and ‘Arts go brr’ like it’s Sky.
I should really take Scepter off of Rean in favor of literally anything else, but I need that sweet, sweet Sepith.
Yes! More looming menacingly! It’s like the Nord Highlands were made for it.
Ack! That is not how you pronounce Marquis! I’m pretty sure, right? Like, the ‘s’ is silent isn’t it? I think it’s a French word.
Oh yeah! Higher Elements detected! You know how I feel about that!
‘Hey, what do you think those weird glowy things that look like egg-sacs in a spider infested cave might be?’
Hmm, guys. I sure don’t know. It boggles the mind.
Also, Millium… suffers from being a physical DPS that isn’t Gaius. There is only Wild Rage [Footnote 2].
Was… Was there a point in ‘G’ having a codename if he’s going to introduce himself anyway?
Was that Spider-boss entrance really necessary? I still have Shelob-trauma that directly targeted.
Force: ‘Restores CP when HP below 20% (once per battle).’
Oho, baby. Just what the doctor ordered.
Hmm. I’m very confused about Millium’s A-filly-ay-shun as well. I thought she was with Osborne by way of Lechter, but she doesn’t seem very Osborne-y. Especially what with actively trying to stop a war.
Oh. Lechter’s here. How about that.
And I guess that answers that. Millium is with Osborne, even though I don’t quite get what the deal with all of that was yet.
‘A familiar sensation as two years ago.’
Hmm… Erebonia two years ago… Well that’s either the attack on the Bracer Guild or the attempted invasion of Liberl. And Sara knows Toval… Oh no. Sharon, did you help blow up the Bracer Guild?
‘Imperial Governor Carl Regnitz.’
‘Chancellor Giliath Osborne.’
I mean. Both of you knew that. You didn’t need to full name and title. You’re the only two in the room and you know each other personally.
Gasp. A piano. Roses. Could it be…?
Olivier! I mean, Olivert!
‘Lovely Girl’.
Well. I can hardly argue with that.
Just when I was about to say of course they sneak in a summer swimming episode, I’m about to say things are awfully tame all things consider only to be immediately proven wrong with a shot of Alisa on the starting block from behind. If nothing else, this game certainly knows what it’s about.
Ah. Good. A vague rhythm minigame again. Because you know how much I love those.
Footnote 1: Yes, I know there’s a lot of LotR references in Trails. I mean, one of the fake passwords in Sky SC was Olorin for pity’s sake. But I had to call this one. The urge was too great.
Footnote 2: Which also means Laura will probably get benched, no matter how much I like her. There is only Wild Rage.
