Since I've been enjoying the Trails series so far, I think I can officially say that I'm invested enough to play through all the games and catch up with the series no matter how long it takes. Looking forward to the journey! Stick around and talk with me about the game!
| To-do list | • Catch up with all The Legend of Heroes games (Priority) • Finish Persona 3: Reload
| Things that might happen | • Check out other Falcom games • If anyone has a recommendation of a game I haven't played, then I'll look into that, just ask if I've played it
Festival bench PTSD is too real. Anton and Ricky coming over to Crossbell for the festival is such a great surprise lol. FYI 2 new places to visit for NPC talks should be available to you now: Jona's place in geofront (should be easily accessible with the vent shortcut) and mayor's office in the city hall.
It always makes my skin crawl when I see them on a bench. That was so damn hype!! The bois are back in the flesh! I hope this isn't the only time we see them tho. Dope to be able to see some old familiar faces like those two! Yep, Jona I brought up before, but I'll save going to him last most likely. I didn't know we could go to the mayor's office so thanks for letting me know that!
Elie was among the crowd when the mayor was giving a speech. Btw 'urgent' support requests are story mandated quests. Which means they progress the story. So you should be doing the other quests with short timeframes first.
That was Elie beside Mariabell!?! Holy Stregas! She was maybe dressed a little over the occasion but very cute, nonetheless. Got ya fam! I'll be sure to do the urgent one last! Gotta make sure I get ALL of them done. We ain't missing out on quests around here!!! lol
I will be honest, I wasn't even in the mindset to figure out Yin's identity while playing this chapter since I was thinking it would be relevant much later. So this reveal took me by complete surprise. But it makes a lot of sense in retrospect. Big props to you for being on top of it.
Tbh I agree with you as well. I figured it might get revealed somewhere in a later chapter, but for it to happen this soon is pretty wild. I'm glad since I was extremely curious to see if my theory was right. Major reveal for sure lol Thanks tho fam! I wasn't completely sure if i'd get hit with a fake out or not, but things went exactly how I wanted.
6:40 Crossbell games originally had fan translations. The publisher later paid the fan translation team to do the official release. Scott was one of the members of the fan translation team, who sadly passed away. Yin does not mess around! "I thought hard was tamed here." Well yeah, now imagine how it was back in Sky games! Zeit taking the team rush was hilarious though.
Ohhh I had no clue about that. It's sad to hear about the passing though, much love to his family and friends. That's a really lovely chest message they put there in memory of him. Nah but seriously...that was no joke. Like for a real first time "major" boss this was pretty damn difficult lol Bro in Sky earth wall was damn near a must LMAO They were doing EVERYTHING in their power to force the higher elements to screw me, but Zeit came in and delayed all clones while dealing good damage as well lol Honestly worked out better than the team rush
I haven't been able to play xenoblade for the past week actually. Too busy with other stuff. Love the atmosphere of Stargazer's Tower. It looks amazing. "Let me hit you with a crit too" *gets hit back with a crit again* lmao
Slacking on the grind!? Have you no spirit!? Jokes aside, hope ya get some time to play eventually. It's a really nice place to look at for sure! Visually appealing. The higher elements were trying to do their worse to me!
That will probably never happen again lmao I was honestly gonna go straight to Yin but wanted to check the buildings first. She definitely feels like the scummy type that would set you up so you have to pay her a ton of money for something that you didn't even break.
It's been too long since we our last session of SSS bars. They had that track in jail for quite some time. CPD must've caught wind of Llyod spitting at the City Hall last time lmao
Yeah, unfortunately I think that quest just bugged out. The people left among the ones you needed to talk to were receptionist Sera and the doctors at the ground floor. But from the looks of it they didn't trigger a scene. That's a shame.
Just my luck...lol I'll mess around with it and see if I can reload an old save to see if that will fix the glitch. If not, then I suppose it is what it is. I don't want to put off any story progress any longer because we've been in chapter 2 forever lol
Well, looks like the extra sidequest mod is also gone. There should've been a quest called "Search for the Oversleeping Doctor" this ingame day according to the guide I am looking at. It should still be accessible if you install it right now though. But reminder to install the portraits version to not clash with the portrait mod. About the bonding, yeah I maxed out Tio in my playthrough but I also checked out all the scenes on youtube afterwards. So you don't need to accommodate me. I would rather you choose whoever you want. (If you want Elie that is fine too ofcourse) I also thought I was going to finish Xenoblade X the way you weren't posting anything but I am still not done. Well, I am almost done with the main story but not anywhere close done with the side content.
It wouldn't be my life if something wasn't going wrong lol It's seriously annoying because every time I put the mods in it's either A: I get SOME portraits and the side quests or B: I get all portraits and NO side quests. I have yet to actually get ALL of them to function together... Bro really went and seen everything so now nothing will be new for you!!! You ruined my plan!! Jokes aside, I should do that as well. Except I'm scared of seeing something I don't want to because youtube will def spoil you lol Well, that's good that you haven't finished it yet, but I'm still pretty far behind and only in chapter 2 still.
The two superpowers, and Crosbell caught in the middle, tied by the laws Erebonia and Calvard made for it. Even Revache and Heiyue are aligned each to one country. Actually the CDF is a reference to the Japanese SDF after wwii, self-defence force, not a "real" army because it was not allowed to be affter losing, just like Crosbell isn´t alllowed to have a real army, just the "Crossbell Defence Force, CDF". Still, it´s very screwed up that Elie´s parents get divorced and neither of them keeps the child wtf. The combination attacks are just that, dual S-crafts that spend 100 CP of the 2 people involved. Soome of them are quite good, and the "relationship" system affects them IIRC, I think they get upgraded with the one you have more affinity with.
Being stuck in the middle of the likes of those two is seriously a fuckin' nightmare.. There's just way too much crap that comes with all of it. I didn't know it was a reference, so that's nice to know. But yeah, Crossbell not being allowed to have an army is rough. I was shocked when they first mentioned that. For real tho. She got stuck with her gramps and spent all her time with her head in the books. I really hope they she can plan to at least see her family sometime at least... I can't wait to see the dual craft!!! The moment I get the chance I'm doing it lmao Good to know that it has some sorta effect on the relationship bonding. Thanks for letting me know!
@@Akrizz "A city where justice is a constant uphill battle" said Dudley. I remember something from the fan translation that was like "a city where justice can´t be upheld". In any case the games will show you litttle by little how true that is.
@@kaiesks3537 Justice being an upheld battle in any place is awful, but Crossbell's situation is even more worse off than that.. Not just the SSS, but everyone in Crossbell that wants a change are going to have a hell of a battle ahead of them.
@@Akrizz That scene was hilarious, it´s funny how good Lloyd is at digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole xd. Still, remember that any time you get to choose a character for anything you are guiding Lloyd romantic (or friendship) decisions.
@@kaiesks3537 Bro was being a complete blockhead. That made me feel way too bad for Elie. And thanks for reminding me about that because the whole bonding thing is slipping my mind since it's not "in your face" if you know what I mean.
And we finally got backstory for Elie. She definitely chose an uphill fight to have. But it is a worthy one for sure. No one escapes Lloyd's cheesy influence, not even the players. Soon enough you will start spitting cheese instead of bars.
She's got quite the work cut out for her, but with the SSS there to support her I'm sure she'll do great! It's a fight for change that must happen. LMAO Nah spitting cheese and not bars is insane. Don't jinx me with something so awful ever again fam lol
Thanks, I really do appreciate that! Seriously. And it's good to hear from you. The Don's name, right? Always forget it because I was too busy cringing every time he spoke...
Heiyue's OST is so good. Cao is a very sly man. I wouldn't want to stay in the same room with him either. By the way, I am not sure what was going on with your PC problem but did you end up reinstalling the game? Because I think I haven't seen any of the mod portraits in the last few videos so you might've forgotten about installing the mods.
Yeah I'm ngl that OST was fire lol That guy just seems like complete bad news.. He definitely had complete control over that whole situation and didn't even bother answering certain questions. I just realized this as well!!! I haven't reinstalled or touched anything actually, so I'm not sure what's going on... The unlucky streak continues I suppose.
"I am interested in meeting everyone who is royalty" My man wants to make some connections in the high society. Understandable tbh. The sounds seem good to me.
Haha, I'm revealing my true nature now. Nah but it is useful knowing some royals that might have your back because they usually have some form of sway in situations lol Nice! Just hoping nothing is too messed up with the game itself.
Either of your reasons would be enough to have a break like this but having both of them at the same time is rough. But boy was I missing these videos! Even if you posted an update through community tab, personally I probably would've missed it because I watch youtube mostly on PC and for some reason youtube doesn't put community posts in the subscription feed in the browser version.
Yeah, it's definitely been a rough time. I wasn't kidding around when I mentioned I was pretty unlucky in life. There's usually always something going on unfortunately.. It makes me happy to know you've missed the vids! I missed making them and replying to your comments! Much love fam. That's fair actually. I don't think my youtube shows community stuff either tbh...
Front-loaded xd. Tio is more dirty-minded in this version, in the one that I remember it was like how can someone be that pretty or something like that.
Thanks!! I'm pretty surprised I didn't completely forget about Lucy specifically since we barely got to speak with her in Kloe's door lol But yes, freckles would be Jona and Kitty has to be referring to Renne!
What the - You actually decided to have my back instead of hating? Are you feeling alright? lol You must've hit the lottery or something lmao And more parts next time for sure, so no worries. That RNG shit burnt me out and it was late lol
Ultimate Bread Showdown is one of the extra quests from the Vita version btw. Those ingredient requirements at the start are quite a lot. Good job on figuring out the extra requirements though!
For real? At least we know that I'm getting the Vita quests as well so that's nice! But man, I'm just lucky that I decided to speak with everyone again before turning in the ingredients. This is why it's important to exhaust all dialogue options! But thanks tho fam!! My RNG was disastrous when I was trying to get specific drops lol
I like all the road themes in this game but this one is my favourite. This can be a tricky fight to do without any fire arts. So hey, congrats on beating them like that. Also, it is easy to miss with high speed mode but the stealth effect gave you a guaranteed crit.
This one was too damn good. Probably my favorite as well. I really gotta make sure I have multiple different arts across the board because not having a fire art in this fight was annoying. Luckily Randy is goated tho. But thanks, let's just hope I can keep getting these W's! Ohhhh that's dope! Didn't even realize that.
It was way too many and they were strong as hell. I thought you said this game wasn't hard! Nah I'm kidding its pretty chill right now, but I know there will be some rough fights in the future for sure.
I got super busy and normally I deal with insomnia, but even that wasn't able to prevent me from passing out. That exhaustion must've been next level lol
The graveyard thing was already bugging me, but then I saw the scene with Rixia practicing and I was 100% sure there should be music there. So I checked an old playthrough and it turns out the official western release you are playing has some little changes. Probably best to save the graveyard info for the next game anyway. Sorry for the wildgoose chase, but at least I´m not going crazy xd
Oh, I wouldn't have known about the music thing, but it's cool to see you notice things since you played the other version I would assume. The Rixia scene was somehow really nice despite no music. It felt calming tbh lol And nah don't worry about it too much! I was glad you brought it up because I legit didn't see the other side.
As if the Crossbell city wasn't enough now the surrounding areas are included in the NPC pool as well. That is a lot of people to talk to! I don't mind it one bit though.
Crossbell has so many damn areas. I feel like I've seen double the amount of NPC's even when combining some of the areas in Sky lmao It's fun to see what they all have to say (despite some that repeat themselves). I think I'll have to make the NPC parts on the longer side tbh. Otherwise, I'll end up with an insane number of parts focused on just NPC's lol Maybe 50 mins plus at least.
Anytime? I was genuinely thinking I could only do it during those moments like when we had the opportunity to speak with everyone in the dorms like how we did in the beginning of the game. I thought another moment like that was gonna happen so I could do it then, but if I can do it anytime that's even better.
I was afraid of sounding like even more of a hater but I am glad we are on the same page about Don's voice. And Zeit officially joins the party! Well... kinda.
Nah your hate is valid this time for sure. That voice was atrocious... I'm gonna hate hearing that shit whenever he shows up again. I can't wait to show off my "dog" to my enemies!
About Arios being as strong as the strongest person she knows, I think she means Loewe too. That said, remember that in sky 3rd someone said she used to spar with him, and win... In sky Zin says the thing about Cassius is that "unity of purpose" thing, he can fight, he can leave the sword and change to the staff, he can lead armies, he can take control after the chaos of FC... he can do everything, while Loewe is basically just a fighter, even if they could be matched. That might be the case with Arios too. That says, officialy Cassius has mastered 2 forms of the eight leaves style (wathever that means), while Arios only one, so maybe it´s a case of "every game we have to have someone strongest and strongest" so things don´t get stale.
It has to be Loewe! But yeah, it's crazy to think that one of the Anguis mentioned that he could've probably surpassed her, but that just means whoever that Anguis is she's no doubt a MONSTER. Cassius is the true definition of a one-man army and the jack of all trades. It's genuinely hard for me to fathom people like Arios beating Dad, but I suppose I'll see how strong Arios is one day if he joins up with us for a mission or something. Two forms of eight leaves style, huh. I assume there's even more forms of eight leaves than just two? And true, most games need a top tier candidate and I suppose he fits the bill.
I think you missed the 2 readable graves, they are on the right side. Or I might be talking nonsense and they are only readable in the next game, since they give some information... BTW, I find the wolf´s sounds so funny. If you listen carefully it´s obviously a guy making growling sounds and barks, not real wolf or dog noises.
You're actually right. I did walk by the graves that were on the right side unfortunately. Hopefully I have a save so I can go back and see if any of them said anything before jumping into chapter 2 tomorrow. I'll put it in the vid in case we get some dialogue. Yeah, it's extremely questionable lol Tbh maybe they should've just made the damn wolf speak. He looks way too unique and "divine" to not have an actual voice. But I do get why the wolf can't speak because then we'd have a complete understanding of the situation at hand so yeah... lol
Went so fast from glazing Arios to "Fuck you Arios" lmao. I get it though. Zeit is a good boy but I gotta say, he has the least convincing voice acting of an animal I have heard.
Glazing is INSANE! I might have to fight you now Yabus lmao Tbh tho I think it's the sword style I'm more hype about than Arios himself lmao But fuck Arios for real. He pissed me off. Damn you really HATIN today, huh!? Taking shots at Zeit is wild lol I'm genuinely surprised Zeit can't just fucking speak.
@@Akrizz Can't leave all the hating to your monopoly! Jokes aside though, I do like both Arios and Zeit. I just had to say what I had to say, you know.
@@yabus2571 Never thought I'd see the day you would switch up on me and start hatin!!! This isn't right!! Only I can hate LMAO I agree with you tho tbh. They could've did much better lol
It's pretty damn clean no doubt. That's definitely a track you can vibe to when you're busy doing something else. It really felt nostalgic to me, and I don't know why..
I´d recommend including the cathedral area and the graveyard (including the keeper) in your NPC speak rotation, mostly in Azure, but in this one as well. A couple of grave are interesting too.
Her hiding spot is a little too damn good lol Hopefully Estelle and Joshua can figure out something out about her whereabouts and get the drop on her. A hard task that is.
Monster eggs are dropped by the green bird-like monsters in this area. You were just unlucky in your encounter with one of them. Yeah, the game throws you some high level monster chests every now and then. Thankfully, they warn you beforehand and it is marked on the big map so you can come back to it when you are stronger. Also, there are people to talk to in the Cathedral area as well.
You're right. I just went back and got the monster eggs so we're good! Thx for the heads up! They are tryna set you up for failure lmao I'm not fighting anything with that much of a level difference because basic enemies damn near are one shotting us already and they aren't even bosses. I went back to the Cathedral in the next part after finishing up the morges quest. I skipped it at first cause I got tired of the game saying I can't go anywhere so i assumed I couldn't go there lmao
I like all the different situations they put us in with these side quests. Sky games had some fun sidequests too but you can certainly feel an improvement here.
Yeah, they got some pretty interesting quests! Kinda like some sorta minigames tbh lol Although they have their hands full trying to beat that Anton quest lmao That's my absolute favorite. But as long as I don't have to deal with Blueblanc for a long while I'm good.
Okay cool. Thx for the feedback. I know some content creators read in their normal voice no matter what, so I just thought I'd ask lol I'll continue doing as I have been.
Damn, you are really unlucky with these recording errors. At least the silver lining is it happened while talking to NPCs again. I have been enjoying Xenoblade X. I am more than halfway through the main story but there is still a lot of side content I haven't done yet and I am not sure how long those will take.
For real tho. Aidios is treatin' me real damn bad lately, eh? Great to hear you're enjoying it! It must be a nice change of pace from Trails, but for me..I gotta be honest here. I can't take a break lmao I will be going full throttle, I think. So, you're completing everything in Xenoblade? Nice.
OK, I thought I was crazy xd. This video and #37 are in the wrong order. And so many adorable characters in this one, Anelace would have a heart attack if she was in the party. The funeral scene at the beginning of the game and some comments that appear from time to time already told that, but just in case, Cecile was Guy´s fiance so she´s kind of his sister in law, that´s why there´s all the not-blood-related comments.
At first, I was confused by what you meant since I uploaded them in the correct order, but you are referring to the playlist! I fixed it! Sorry about that fam lol But yes, there's way too many cute characters, at this rate I won't survive the cuteness overload. Anelace would be in heaven lol Yeah, I know they aren't blood-related, but Llyod has already mentioned to them that she's like his "sister" and he also said she's family. And he calls her family members "uncle" and "auntie", so it was just weird how they are trying to twist his relationship with her when she was his brother's fiancé... lol
There should be monsters that drop monster eggs on the way to Mainz. So no worries about that. Also there is another hidden quest available now. It is in Long Lao Tavern. 31:40 Can't say Randy didn't deserve that after going overboard like that lmao
Oh, thank goodness!!! I was worried about that. Let's goooo I won't miss any quests! Yo they are really going hard with the hidden quests in this game lmao Thanks for the heads up! He got what was coming for him lol That was a major roast tho. He might needa see Aidios after that one.
