Calvard when?

I want a Jusis Edition someday

KeA is cute. CUTE!

coold steal is fag

2019

Is Ao much longer than Zero like SC is compared to fc?

longer? yes
much longer? not so much

So does Ao's regular battle theme different from Zero's? Does it share the same problems as FC-SC/CS1-2 by being worse than it's first game?

You think CS3 will pull a 3rd and raise the standard battle theme quality like how 3rd's was better than SC's?

It is, yeah, and I think it's better, but I also didn't like Get Over the Barrier all that much
Actually, I thought Strepitoso Fight was better than Sophisticated and Heated Mind a LOT better than Glint of Cold Steel, so by that logic you'll probably hate Seize the Truth!

I'm fairly sure CS3's battle theme was already in one of the recent trailers, but I could be wrong on that one

Heated Mind just has that really annoying start.

that's what I like about it

Jesus H. Christ. Zero's Phantom B quest was the most difficult one i've done. I don't know if the shoddily-translated clues was the culprit, but i had to resort to a guide for 3 of the clues. Goddamn.

Anyone else like this theory that Rean runs around in Ogre mode with Crows guns to take after Crows goals?

That's definitely Rean wearing crows old Jacket in ogre mode as well.

Supports the implementation of combat mode change as well to use two different styles.

I thought it was one of the easiest user, the game practically tells you where to go.

>Shirley in Ao no kiseki

Holy FUCK this snuck up on me

youtube.com/watch?v=jlBLyfet_jI

What Rean is wearing beneath the instructor uniform resembles Crow's. But no, I think that's ridiculously silly.

It's probably even stupider Zombie Crow being a thing but his guns were in the concept art for some reason.

Is there a room decoration for Tio? I've gotten the model car, darts and vase for everyone else but haven't found anything for Tio.

You'd think Rean would sooner teach himself the twinblade over the dual pistols.

ink he would bother, easier to use. He's still holding them in official art.

We have to remember he is the hero of erebonia, him running around with his tachi would probably attract attention.
That is exactly crows jacket man

There should be a Mishy wallpaper in the shopping center and some dolls elsewhere.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out then.

Does anybody have that tier list picture for 4rd. I'm curious how it relates to who I think is good after playing it.

>4rd
I read that outloud as Ford
I was agreeing with you on how the jacket is identical. I just really want Crow to stay dead and for Rean to actually grow as a character with it since that means he has something to mope about instead of his non-superificial rift he thought he had with everyone in Ymir.

Unless the Phantasmal Blaze Plan is something remotely close to the Phantasma incident with Kevin, the only way I'd accept Crow coming back in any way would be some ghostly copy like Loewe/Rufina and have Rean and the rest of the class put him down. It's stupid but I think it's potentially less stupider than what they'd do by bringing Crow back for real.

I think you're misunderstanding me, I don't think Crow is literally coming back I just mean Rean took up his guns/jacket and runs around with him in Ogre mode, or maybe you follow me there idk.

I'm just going off on my hopes that Crow never comes back but that also has to do with me trying to deny Rean is actually going around literally being Dante with two guns and white hair.

I just want him as a exasperated trying-to-be-happy teacher.

>Rean is actually going around literally being Dante with two guns and white hair.
DMC5 confirmed

Schera needs to be bumped waaaaaay up. She makes abusing the chain system pretty nutty if done right.

I guess this should be spoilered

Just me or does anyone else think the school setting isn't going to persist the entire game, and holy shit I hope it doesn't stay any longer than two chapters.

I think they might separate this into Acts again so one full act to flesh out the 5 kids. Crossbell is practically confirmed for liberation + Rufus boss fight.
I felt that Mueller should go up a bit too, but I'm biased.
He has a sword too, would have been more horrifying if he kept his red jacket from CS2.

Don't worry user, the jacket will be costume DLC

>2ch] Cedric: "You must be a foreigner or provincialist if you don't recognise my face"/"Isn't a branch school fitting for the Ashen Knight?
>2ch] Both Cedric's looks and personality have changed significantly during medical treatment. Doesn't feel like Rean is a hero. #閃の軌跡3
>2ch] Elise is student president at St. Astraia, keeps in touch with Rean. Certain connection between Elise, Alfin and Musse
>2ch] Alfin's bright personality is dampered under dramatic family changes. Delays her debut at high society with a year
>2ch] Cedric flees to North Ambria and wants to use Testa-Rossa to challenge Rean into a decisive fight
>2ch] Cedric enrolled at Thors, but had problems making friends and dropped out. He developed a grudge against the world

>Cedric became NEET Elliot Rodgers
K E K

>Testa Rossa is alright
>Cedric wants to actively pilot and fight Rean
>Skeptic and basically Kurt how he finds his royal family's influence dampened because of him
Oh shit, that's actually pretty interesting. This is Punished Cedric more than anyone. I'm glad TR is still usable.

>Testa Rossa confirmed
>Shirley confirmed
>Reactivation tentatively confirmed
THE DREAM IS ALIVE LADS

How much is a year and a half of meds going to do to this face?

First bump limit reached for the general. A slower thread seems to work for now.

Smile for me Alfin please.

...

I want to see Oliverts glorious serpent

punished cedric nice

Which Phantom B quest?

holy fuck how did I miss this

>one of the big bad guys in CS3 is a fuckboy who wants destruction because he's jealous at how epic, cool and hot Rean is
Lmao and the dreadful Rean saga continues.

This would have been more interesting if it wasn't for the fact the entire Thors II faculty sans Towa and maybe Randy already give him a lot of shit for what happened

>obsoletes everyone else
I wish this wasn't so true, once you get enough CP boosting items he'll kill everything before anyone else even gets a move

what is a fantastic dish

when you cook you have a chance to make something extra fantastic/terrible based on who cooks it.

Certain quartz you got on your monster hunting sidequests makes it pretty much 100%.

I didn't bother with this quest to be honest.

Haggis is bretty dope

>[2ch] The enemies in the screenshot that accompanies the mechanic are... old Class VII members. #閃の軌跡3
Are we playing as enforcer Cedric against the world?

What's up with Falcom and their sexy lolis lately?

who said there needs to be a reason

She seriously needs more official goods.
Dana has a tapestry, Laxia has a daki. Ricotta has nothing.

she has a type of cheese named after her

Cedric dropping out, fleeing to North Ambria and having Testa Rossa are confirmed to be fake news.

What does this quartz do? It's not on any walkthrough I've seen or listed on gamefaqs

It increases item drop rate by 100%, mate

Killing blows only?

Yeah, you need to defeat your enemy

Gay. Well she has a life-size poster, but it's really nothing special. Thankfully she does have some nice DLC outfits.

what a shame

Oh shit

nice to see him back

hold up,

I didn't realize they spoke about CS in this game, neat.

Hmmm yes, those are definitely asian symbols

Translates to,

"Those kids are doing their best, so I should really take care of this as well as I can" -referring to class VII

Ah, thanks

Ries's cp+heal craft alone makes her high tier even without the fact that she has above average everything with no weaknesses.

WHERE ARE THE PICS JAPS

GIVE ME THE PICS

HOLY SHIT

Is Dudley the manliest kiseki?

Both of Tio's furniture show up at the start of ch. 3.

He gets an even cooler s-craft in Ao.

I was still in chapter 2 when I asked, got to chapter 3 and found it now. Thanks!

Do you think he had any friends? I mean, all the Anguis shit on him super hard when he died.

Nah. But he was super austimo. He probably preferred it that way.

More like Weissman the Friendless am I right?

>don't mind me, I'm just pirating your position

>Hartmann was a patron of "paradise"
>Renne probably knew from the start


TRIGGERED

Didn't renne disassociate so hard she probably wouldn't recognise him

Well he had Estelle and Joshua.

Jesus Fuck are they going full retard with cedric or what? I can't imagine that little fuckboy wanting to fight Rean.

>I can't imagine that little fuckboy wanting to fight Rean.
I thought that part was fake.

Are retards posting fake news here now then?

Actually they seem to be from 2ch translations. If it's real or not we'll see.

Gu4n posted a tweet with fake leak info and then deleted it when he realized

Great, now we don't even know what info is real and what's fake.

I LOVE ESTELLE!

without a doubt

Sen III leaks incoming!

Old Class VII members confirmed to return for combat, plus Agate in the support slot: twitter.com/Gu4n/status/877197463639261184

Translation of character leaks for Elise, Alfin, and Cedric, plus info on "Break" and "Enhancement" (enemy Overdrive equivalent): pastebin.com/Aixc1s2e

Everyone's got longer hair these days

Except Agate.

...

WTF WHERE IS MY NOEL
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Elise Schwarzer, Alfin and Cedric Reise Arnor
It'll also take place in Crossbell, so expect to see her at some point, along with other characters.

hot

Some extra stuff:

Elise Schwarzer
Age: 17
Voice: Saori Goto

She goes to the St Astraya's Girl School found in Heimdallr. After the civil war, she returned to senior high school classes there, and has become the class president. She watches over Rean and supports Alfin.

Kondo's comments: She is currently flourishing as the president of the student council. She has grown mentally and even has many underclassmen relying on her, and she isn't affected as much by Alfin's teasing. Since Reeves and the capital city aren't that far apart, it isn't difficult for her and Rean to keep in touch regularly. While the relationship between the two hasn't changed, Elise has, though Rean is still pretty much the same.


Princess Alfin
Age: 17
Voice: Satomi Sato

The older sister to her twin brother, born to Emperor Eugent III. After the civil war, she entered senior high school, and an unease has come about from the both the cold situation between her brother and the Vander family, then the changes that Cedric has gone through.

Kondo's comments: While she still has her bright and mischevious demeanor, she has emotionally grown since entering senior high school. However, she has become uneasy because of the changes that have happened around her. She is still popular within the people of the empire, and she has provided support to the occupied territories. She delayed her high society debut at 16 because of the civil war, but it will happen this year instead, and you should take notice of who her partner may be. [???]

Prince Cedric
Age: 17
Voice: Naomi Shindo

The son of Emperor Eugent, and the crown prince- the first in the line of succession to the throne. After the events of the previous game, he was able to recover his stamina through medical support, and set off to enter Thors Academy. ...but the following year, Cedric has changed to become a strong-willed individual.

Kondo's comments: An individual who has significantly changed over the past year and a half shows himself to Rean and the others. It wasn't from the civil war, but something happened during his medical care. His respect for Osborne has also strengthened. He has come to think about if Rean really is the hero that saved him... It is likely that a character from the main school in the previous works will also show up.

Screenshots have him with short and spiked hair, and one has a scene of him accompanied by a woman with glasses.

Game System===

Break:
A new 'Break Gauge' has been established. Once it hits zero, item drops, ability increases, and break chances become 100%.

Enhancement:
At some parts, enemies will have special statuses and abilities. It is also likely that some enemies can even have the powerful S-Break to allow them to jump position in the battle order. Some characters can factor in this upgrade. This can be cancelled with enemy's break status.

Kondo's comments: These new components will change the strategy of combat. There are also special items that won't drop without break being used. In this work, there will be components introduced that players will need to take advantage of, because of these enemy enhancements. Orders that are issued will bear importance.

Furthermore, regarding the Imperial royal family, Kondo has commented about the emperor and empress' role in this game. The mystery behind Olivert's birth and things that have been on Priscilla's mind may be approached in the game.

Sorry guys, I guess this question is annoying but how can I play Ao/Zero in english ? Is the leak fan translation good ?

There's literally a mega link in the OP. use it.
