I always love when the word barrier appears.
I'm kinda shocked how long I've been able to stretch that
Ah yes, the first curveball for the extra AP.
Like how did they expect you to figure that out though? 🤣
@@weaponsci it's these kind of details that really make me think they wanted people to do a second playtrough, especially in this game but we'll talk about that near the end.
But LV 200 is a MUST On Nightmare mode even SOLO Rean at lv 40 On nightmare mode won't even LAST 1 turn on Nightmare mode at all at lv 200 he won't EVER die at the start of the game.
@@veghesther3204 I cleared the game on NG nightmare at Lv140. Fresh Nightmare run is possible.
And well, if it isn't the guy who comment "Lv 250 in Reverie Abyss mode is A MUST" on literally every Trails Reverie youtuber lol.
Actually, the "experience when you die"-thing has been consistent throughout the Trails series. Characters get experience for all enemies that die while they're on their feet, no more, no less. So Rean got a consolation experience prize for the ads that died earlier but missed out on the experience chunk that the boss would have given him.
The fight with Fie's old comrades is the first of several boss encounters where you're on an invisible timer. (basically whenever you hear Severe Blow play before the start of the second act) If you can get one of the bosses to a certain HP threshold before 40 turns pass, or defeat some of them outright (any turn counts, both yours and the enemy), you get bonus AP. If not, the battle automatically ends after those 40 turns. But frankly, that's already tricky on normal, on nightmare it requires exquisite planning, preparation and knowing exactly what's coming.
_me looking at laura with taurus and domination quartz equipped_
haha...
@@toiletpaper3394 Not sure erpy is saying they're hard, just that this particular one is. Which IMO is one of the hardest fights in the series if you want dem juicy ap.
@@toiletpaper3394 Pretty much meaningless if she hasn't joined your party yet. And by the time she joins, most of the AP battle conditions are mostly over with couples left anyway. Not to mention this Jaeger duo being the hardest among them.
@@railblade0041 I'll be honest this fight was easy for me personally because jrpg brainrot makes me conserve my overdrives so I just hit them hard and easily got it during my first playthrough which was in hard mode.
Also, the dialogue slightly changes if you win before the timer runs out.
17:21 Just a reminder, Lloyd is either still in prison or just freshly breaking out.
I think the timing of Rean's awakening coincide with Lloyd's breaking, as they were out of comission for around the same ammount of time.
Fie is a cat. She also has the same voice actress as Morgana
Since the beginning of Sky, even if your character dies, they only lose XP for enemies that die during the time they were KO'd. I'm not sure if they expanded that to include getting XP from all enemies by now, but leveling up when KO'd has always been a potential behavior in the series. So in that instance, probably Rean didn't get XP from the boss, but did get XP from all the adds.
I'm here for the Black Millium jokes
I keep expecting a Fried chicken comment or something.
While most characters remained mostly the same between games bar a few minor number changes, for some reason Falcom decided to give Fie a bunch of huge buffs. Innate 30% evasion and a ranged counter attack make her such a busted dodge tank. Plus if you don't want to use her as a dodge tank she's still one of the best overall physical attacker because her new self-buff skill gives the rare stealth status, which grants two turns of guaranteed crits (plus makes her completely invincible). Give her the MQ that boosts crit damage and...
The Xeno/Leo fight actually has a hidden AP condition to get one of them below a certain health threshold before the fight ends. There are a couple other sneaky conditions like that. Thankfully future games (can't remember if it starts in CS3 or 4) will tell you when there's an optional battle condition.
She has innate 30% evasion? Didnt notice but never not had evade quartz on her soooo.thats nice
@@TiduLimar actually, putting evade quartz on her kinda makes it easier to notice since the buff is additive not multiplicative, err fraction-based multiplication I mean. Give someone 50% evade they evade 1 in 2. Give her 50% more evade she'll evade 4 out of 5.
Was it just one? I seem to recall you had to make BOTH have their hp reduce past a certain point. Maybe I just remember wrong though. In any case, this fight is one of the hardest in the entire series IMO if you want those juicy bonus AP. Or Maybe I just thought it was cuz I was dumb and though I needed to reduce both their % by that much and not just 1 lol. I don't remember. CS2 is my least fave trails game though so I didn't replay it as much and memory is kinda not there.
No its just 1 of the 2 that has to LOSE half their HP but Nightmare still requires a LV 200 party in order to do that IN 1 TURN.
3:09 I think rean leveled up because the small enemies you killed before the big one must have pushed him over. characters get xp for any enemy that dies while they are still alive. so he didn't get xp for the big monster but he did for the smaller ones because he was alive when they were killed
Fie's outfit in this game did things to me
Omg finally. Bruh I've been needing this in my life.
The queen makes her return! I actually got to meet the voice actor for Fie, Cassandra Lee Morris, at KawaiiKon, a week and a half ago. I got pictures with her, as well as 2 Fie prints signed by her.
Fie is broken in this game.
Barrier joke never gets old lol
Great video as always
Thank you Weapons
Np. Yeah I kinda gawked when I found out Fie's 30% evasion was INNATE lol
Welcome back, where were we again, ah yes, Machias came back, let's go for the sidequests.
- Though there's not much to say except that for the monster one as you saw, his healing and buff can be quite annoying (and btw, you got EXP from Rean because you defeated the smaller monsters with him still standing, so he obtained a proportionate part of its total, you didn't show it, but I guess he got less than the rest because of it); and for the herb one, you have to talk to the park ranger (the one who was plastered in CS1 because the thieves tooked his job back then) to catch up with him, although you could've seen him in the earlier tour of Celic with Toval; speaking of tour, important NPCs (mainly the Thors students and the paper boy) has changed dialogue since Machias is in the party, who is trying to do a reverse Clark Kent to disguise himself in town XD.
- Time to meet Fie and Elliot, and the former is already at it with her forwardness; I like that after the conversation, Elliot says " and Toval ? I get Celine but why a bracer ?" because when you think about it, Toval being the one to help Rean is the most random thing to happen for Class VII XD. Also, the game subvert the trop of "go on ahead, I'll catch up" by making Fie actually catch up with the group after they're wondering where she is
- A thing I forgot to mention in the reunion scenes (the ones in the episode are cute and wholesome, though it naturally doesn't compare to the one from Machias emotionally), is that the dialogue will change if you did the final bonding event of last game, for exemple, Fie here mention that she wouldn't risk losing her new family, something that was brought up during her final bonding event, and therefore is not present otherwise..... or at least that's how it should be, for some reason there's a bug that will make the characters saying their special lines if their final bonding events were ACCESSIBLE at the time, not if you actually watched them, so if you got any moment during these where you're wondering "when did that happen ?" it's because of that.
- While it does seem stupid to go to Garrelia where the battles takes place, they're going to be stuck in Celdic for the day anyway, they want to let the general know that his son is okay, and most of all, get concrete informations about the course of the war from one of the direct participants, and not the citizens who are more or less bystanders (and it's not with the Provincial army that we'll get this info), so yeah, why not try at least ?
- Now.....Fie, I don't know what they smoked when they coded her but they went ham on this.... no I'm not talking about her outfit; I know people are complaining that she's showing a lot of skin for no reason during December, when it's quite cold, but it's just her jaeger outift, shirley's is also similar and yet no one talks about that for some reason, if you want to criticize, do it all the way.........what was I talking about ? Ah yes, I was talking about combat abilities; last game, she had a natural 10% evasion to show that she was specialized to be an evasion tank, but in this game, they decided to increase that natural stat to 30%!!!!! That's huge!!!!! now it's even easier to build her like an evasion tank, especially because they now changed the way her counter work, last time it was with her blade, so it was ridiculously short, and now, it's with her guns, which give her quite a range to counter, add to that the fact that you can now do link attacks via counters and you can see where it's going, Fie is busted, more so than last time.
- Welcome to the trial chests, specific trials with specific characters in order to inclock their overdrive option...an advice for next time, try opening a trial chest with the wrong set of party membern you won't regret it.
- For the twin dragons bridge, I can't quite say yet, I need to go through it and if it needs to, I'll talk about that in the other comment (including the hidden quest, which doesn't seem to be terribly important, but it seem relevant to the merchant situation talked about in Celdic last time); and you have the mysterious hooded man who apparently knows who we are and secretly helps us for no reason....until you realize this is Thomas trolling XD, no kidding, his voice completely changes when he's serious compared to before when he's just kidding around, props to his voice actor because I'm pretty sure that until he dropped the hood, almost no one recongnized him.
- After safely getting around the bridge, we get to garrelia road and it's a good you stopped by the shrine on the way because they are totally optionnal here, you can just skip them but you'll miss interesting like a mini dungeon, chests (including trial ones), and a mysterious vision as well as bonus AP, if you see them, go do them, they're worth it at this point in the game.
- After that, you can see from up close the damage the Aion caused to the fortress, as well the giant blue surronding Crossbell in the distance, it's interesting to see this from the erebonian side.
- But no time for that now because we have the reunion with Fie's friend from Zephyr: Xeno (surprised you didn't do a joke about Xenoblade) and Leonidas; compared to the Red Constellation, they give a really different vibes, they seem quite friendly and easy to talk with (100% agree on Xeno's voice btw), but that can be something to drop your guard, they're taking their job seriously and are quite powerful, also, I'm pretty sure they're being vague on purpose for why they disappeared on Fie like that, I guess we'll have to wait for the answers, also, according to Fie, they were regimental commanders, so on the same rank as Shirley, so they're probably as powerful as her if not more so dur to their experience...and yes you're fighting them now XD.
- Now tbf, you can't win this one, at best you can survive this, but you'll have AP+3 if you drop one of them to 30% or below.... in 40 turns!!! otherwise the battle end with no bonus AP, which is quite difficult this early in the game in addition to them having S-crafts, I'm sure it's feasible even on nightmare but you'll have to be prepared for it, surving like you did now is good enough (also wow, the battle ended just before the javelins explodes, what luck!)
- Now for the soldat battle....that you tooked an L to XD (Valimar can't catch a break, also it seem Xeno and Leo were seriously going to fight Valimar by themselves, what chads), I love how you ad-libbed that the rest of the class were bench-warmers in these fights, literally just before they are given a mechanic making them useful during these fights, you are still a goddamn prophet; but yeah, now you can use EX arts, you can equip a partner who each have specific abilities (btw, when they said the closest in the tutorial, they meant the one with the most link EXP with Rean will be set with him by default depending on who you have in the party, here it's Fie probably because you have a higher link due to the carry-over from the last game), and it's though them that you can Spirit and Charge now , theformer for regaining HP and CP in exchange of EP like last game, and the latter for regaining you EP, which means that yes, the heals are no longer limited, and that makes the mech battles much more enjoyable but you'll see.
- They are repelled, the 4th and the RMP arrives (btw, the cockpits of the mechs are in the chest most likely, which means that no, Claire didn't shot the cockpit, just the sensor according to her), they're retreating, reunion, blablabla, basically, the 4th is holding out here on the proving ground of the fortress with the help of the RMP handling the supplies, who are still standing strong despite the death of their leader, the chancellor, Neithardt is also not with them but he managed to get in contact, I think he's in the west currently (I need to verify that in my replay). But yeah, and now they're asking what the class plan on doing,especially since they have Valimar, but it's a question that can't be answered until everyone (except Crow) comes back (and you begin to see something people see as a problem of this game but we'll get to that when it's more prominent), though Claire will be joining us on the way back to Ymir to help solidify its defenses.
- That's it for now, and hey! I'm in the credits at the end of the video.
You're welcome Weapons, it's only natural to support the creators we like, there's nothing strange about it.
Hey no biggie, thanks for subbing lol.
About the bug: So I'm assuming I can expect extra dialogue when I meet Laura and Emma again since i think they were the two other ones eligible for the final bonding event last game.
I wonder if maybe it's a cultural thing for female Jaegars to wear revealing clothing, since Shirley was pretty scantily clad too, as you said. Or maybe it's done on purpose as a battle strategy to distract opponents. Kinda hard to confirm I guess since Fie and Shirley are the only two points of reference for this so far.
@@weaponsciMaybe, though you said you installed SenPatcher in this episode, so maybe it fixed this bug, but we'll see. As for the clothings bit, my mira's on it not to distract opponent but more for freedom of movement, especially for Fie who's a speedster (actually now that I think about it, her outfit looks similar to Yuffie's..... Is Fie trying to become a Ninja?).
Now for the second comment:
- Yeah, Elliot already talked about it during his update, but in order to be able to pass the bridge, you need a permit approved by the Provincial army, however, right now, they don't let ANYONE through, which is foreshadowing the fact that they were planning an operation against the 4th at that time (which we helped inadvertently thwart later by occupying the main force long enough for the 4th to get here); and is the main reason for the hidden quest, a merchant wanted to come back to his village to see if his wife and son were okay, but was refused by the Provincial army, which caused him to go to celdic in a rush and getting attacked by monster due to the merchandise he has, in the end, he found his wife and son in Celdic as they had evecuted to Celdic earlier (you could even see them, they just didn't had names until now), so a hidden quest not that important lorewise but adds a bit more to the worldbuiding (and making Celine go crazy with us being goody two shoes XD).
- On the road to Garrelia, Toval almost let slip his previous job before becoming a Bracer.......did I already mentionned to you that Carnelia is good and that you should read it ?
- Céline is quite non-talkative about the shrines, but it's true that it has many similarities with the old Schoolhouse, like the door with the same emblem, or its layout similar to a floor of it as well, not to mention that Toval said he doesn't remember this building being here last time he was here.... Which is weird because how the hell can you miss something like this unless it popped out of thin air, but that's impossible right ?............. Right?
- And I forgot that Xeno and Leo were actually following us throughout the entire byroad and that Fie caught signs of them multiple times, which is why she wasn't surprised to see it was them once she got confirmation with the trap mine.
- I can confirm that there's no difference in dialogue if you got the bonus AP, so you didn't miss out on anything beside the bonus AP
- Also, forgot to mention as well, but Severe Blow (the music playing during the battle with Xeno and Leo) and Transcend Beat (that's playing during the second part of the mech Battle) are great bops, the former in particular have melodies of Fateful Confrontation in it.
Blind Run Trails 101, talk to every NPC available again after every cutscene. Crazy i know 🤣🤣
Thanks for another video! Can't wait to see your reaction to yet another billion plot twists that trials series like to do
It's honestly amazing getting to re watch this section with knowledge of Azure's plot.
Also that's one big gun Claire is packing there; guess she learnt from Crow!
Hell yeah. These are some of my most anticipated videos.
I see the shrines more like cold steel 2s versions of the towers from the Liberl arc. Enjoyed the video.
The ost is a banger tho. Holy Saint Holy Spirit is phenomenal.
Rean the mean bean Shwarzer
As a note, if you check a Trial Chest without the required characters you get a chest quote of sorts. Usually a joke involving some of the required characters.
I'll try it next time I see one
@@weaponsci Yeah, you have to go out of your way to see the messages for the first few since the required characters will be in your party by default, here they are:
(Machias/Elliot) Machias and Elliot decided to open their own business. Funding was no problem, of course, because they both had a connection to some CAPITAL!
(Fie/Elliot) Sharon had just set out some ice cream, when Fie snuck in and absconded with the frozen treat. The melted trail she left behind was the only clue about this cold steal.
(Fie/Machias) You try to open the trial chest. It claps its hands over its ears and whispers, 'I can't hear you.'
27:04 yeah can you imagine right haha august
Nice, next episode of Rean and his harem...
I've been binge watching all of your TLoH video...
Keep up the good work..
42:53 Never realized the Evade sound effect played for this moment lmao.
This is why I love Elliot so much. His dad is like the best side character in the first half of the arc. Haven't played any further than CS2 yet. I put Fie in her casual outfit with the cat hat, because I really can not stand her outfit. She is almost naked and I prefer her wearing clothes. But I loved her line about Olaf just ending the war the instant the nobles try to kidnap Elliot. Time to find more members of class 7. Getting Jusis could be tricky though. You are so gonna hate his dad when we get there. I really hope you don't end up getting to Cold Steel 3 before me. But if you do, that is also ok. Then you will be further along than me. You were indeed farther than me when you played Zero and started Azure all the way back then. Keep having fun Weapons. That is all that matters.
Yeah Jusis' dad doesn't sound very nice, even if his role in the story hasn't been an active one (yet?)
characters get experience for each enemy that is killed when they are alive
Fie best girl.
You should have recognized the hooded man because of the voice actor. xD Nice, you figured it out after he took his hood off. Those glasses though. 👀
How did that enemy advantage even happen? lmfao
Xeno and Leo are great. Yeah, you just needed to outlast them for a certain amount of turns.
Aww, I love Elliot's relationship with his dad. Who knew the fearsome Olaf Craig had that side to him? lol
Pretty sure Thomas rarely has voice-acted lines in CS1 so it's understandable he didn't recognize it.
@@Ghalion666 He has more voiced lines than any of the other instructors (except Sara).
@@kevinstreetgaming Really? I don't remember him having much at all. In CS1 specifically I mean. the PS4/PC versions had added voicelines over the ps3 version and I played/own the ps3 version, could that be the case?
@@Ghalion666 Yeah, that must be the case. I played the PS4 version. They probably added more voice acting for Thomas because of how important he is later on in the series.
Part of the issue with Thomas is that he's usually very cheerful and bubbly and in that scene he was pretty serious so it was harder to tell
BTW there is a NG+ excluisive quest you can just look it up on youtube but its kinda important for cs3
Yeah not really necessary to do a ng+ for it just watch it on youtube if you're not a completionist
Just to check are you playing with a new game+ file to be able to see all the bond events and new game+ extra stuff or is this on a regular save file?
It's a fresh save, though I don't mind playing it again tbh
By the way, in regards to divine knight fights, Sara's ex art is completely busted.
What's she gonna do, fill his fuel tank with beer?
@@weaponsciA druck Valimar is a force to be reckoned with.
DESTRUCTIVE IMPACT!!
But even WITH that if NOT at lv 200 on Nightmare mode you still won't last even 1 turn BEFORE Sarah's turn even comes up.
he's back!
The black millium name is getting confusing, it seems she needs...."correction"
💢💢💢
Rean's Delay build is very good in this game but it won't start really working until you get the Impede 1 and Impede 2 quartz
That and sharon's accessory. Delay got mega nerfed in cs3 beyond tho but brave orders and the break system is broken as fuck.
Oh my, was that a last minute interruption/save when the situation was narratively hopeless?
Falcom has been doing this since FC so I will be very surprised if in future games they stop doing this. I kind of think of it as a falcom quirk for better or worse.
13:56 it's morgana
Elliot is kinda gay for Rean
Its not a bad thing,its just very apparent
6:16 I honestly thought they were gonna kiss here
He did seem VERY happy to see him lol. I wonder if Alisa is gonna top him
I kinda don't like Fie costume in this game, it's to open for my taste, longer pants would suite her much better.
I had joked about this on Twitter but I like it. It looks like a mix of Yuffie and Dante's DMC3 outfit
@@weaponsci it's ok, don't get me wrong, it's just could've been much more better.
I couldn't stop half-jokingly calling her a harlot at every turn during my playthrough. It just seems very immodest for the setting. Heck, wasn't Towa's concert outfit considered pretty outrageous just last game, yet is there literally anyone in the entirety of CS2 that questions Fie's choice of garb?
@@wishuponamonkeyspaw2458 yeah, i agree 100% with you, it was so jaring, that i switched to her casual almost immideatelly.
