Best kid.

Also reminder for anyone that wants to play Ao with the spreadsheet And the guide i've been working on.

I love Tita!

Is there anything interesting to the Ao ng+ stuff aside from a recolored cryptid and some of the flowers the red Gnosis is made from?

As far as i'm aware, NG+ should have some new group bosses like wanted monsters aside from that one.

Yeah you have to beat those to unlock the red wetlands where that screenshot is from.

spreadsheet a shit

Calvard when?

kiseki.wikia.com/wiki/Ranking_of_characters_by_strength
How accurate is this

...

...

Well, it's a fanmade list so a lot of lower tiers may be inaccurate.

...

...

never played Trials but Renne is cute. Does she at least get a happy ending?

Why does the support member get in battle instead when I'm ambushed in ao?

The main characters from the first two games, Estelle and Joshua, make her part of their little family

...

...

She's been to paradise user, how much happier can she be?

>Estelle, Joshua, Olivert and Tita clean up
>Estelle and Olivier tease Agate and Tita in front of Class VII
>Class VII teases Agate for the rest of the game

If the enemies attack you from behind, your party formation will be randomized.

>Boss in small and tight corridor
I hate it

Yeah I got that. I just thought it was weird the support member also randomly takes the place of one of the main team.

They did that in CS too, if you didn't notice.

I haven't played CS.

I can't accept that Cassius with a staff is only S

It's fanmade. For all we know he could be as strong as he was with a sword.

Having nowhere to run is fun.

Richard's girlfriend really has a bad case of resting bitch face. Makes her really punchable.

It's not just her face that's eternally bitchy, her attitude towards anyone that's not Richard is pretty bad too.

I want to cuddle with Tita!

Anima should be at the top with Azure.

I want to eat-a Tita!

Her "ano ano"s are so cute.

>Randy below Shirley
huh?

The only time they 1v1 she beats his ass.

>Can peek on Asuka's pantsu
Wow, I don't think it's possible in CS.

In that fight you can still move left and right and you won't run out of space.
By the way, Nayuta has a lot of fun boss design even if it's on the easier side.

It was at first, with a bug. They patched it out.

>sonia and sergei were married
I knew it.

For what reason?

...

My anus wasn't ready for this.

But they actually modelled the underwear. Why hid it?

...

His lines with Estelle is actually the most boring.

What did he mean by this?

he took the red pill

Well he's the Grandmaster's husband

He found out how to not hold back

I think that's supposed to be some title or description given to someone who mastered one of the forms in the 8 leaves one blade style.

I can't believe I spend almost half of my money to buy Wazy an aquarium.

>someone who mastered one of the forms

I mean, mastering one is enough for that. Although the description is probably extra special for him since he has some absurd intuition, and an easy time getting used to things, and weapons.

Start preparing for the Nightmare arena son.

To be fair, the second ones in Zero were like 10k each, and i think the Aquarium is like 5k, or am i mistaken?

>Get Cassius down to less than 10% of his max HP on Nightmare mode
>Lose the fight because he starts abusing his abuse and retard range

I regret picking Nightmare more and more for each additional hour I play this game.

You shouldn't have listened to that user. Sky wasn't originally made with difficulty settings, so it's not actually balanced out for that. Only starting from Zero is nightmare actually fun since it's not complete bullshit, and you can do it if you're prepared enough.

I never really pick nightmare for the Sky games because of how limited your options are compared to Ao or CS (but in CS' case, the game is a fucking cakewalk).

Falcom's idea of higher difficulty only works in their action games.

>5k
Yeah but you've got more people to buy furniture for + all the car stuff. It's no big deal in the long run but it's tempting to go crazy at the beginning.

Zero isn't translated so good luck playing it!

>Fully translated iso of Zero is released

Ao isn't translated so good luck playing it!

>Spreadsheet containing a translation of the main scenario is released

Well good luck getting through fights!

>Patch translating the game menus is released

W-w-well good luck juggling all those things just to play it!

>Spreadsheet translation is currently being inserted into game
>Combined with the menu translation
>Fan full translation patch is at almost 50%

REEEE DUMB EOPS!!

Hard in TT and FC isn't bad, but in SC it is dumb. I will not do Nightmare just because it isn't balanced at all for the first 2 games.

Maybe for TT if I play it again and try to break the game.

If I didn't already sink 30 hours into this game (and beat the fishing sidequest at that), I'd start over and play it on a lower difficulty.

Nightmare keeps flipping between challenging and cancerous over and over again with no decent median and it really bothers me. I doubt I'll even bother with the last level of the arena at this rate.

Is Kurt the hardest LoH boss of all time?

>Want to get the achievement for Nightmare
>Hear this

>Takes 7 years

That is still a long time. Even a lot of the earlier fan translated games on S/NES didn't take that long.

If you want, i have a save right before the fight on hard mode.

u.nya.is/rgqfuy.SAV

I personally found hard to be manageable on the 3rd, but i didn't play on nightmare to know how much worse it is.
The save slot is number 79.

Nightmare is basically cast Earth Wall/Gaia Shield or die. Cassius just barely misses one shotting Richard with a Water Gem and he has about 23k hp.

He is annoying as fuck more than hard. And I can't fucking stand annoying fights that drag on.

Now do mine
>playing trails games without npcs and extra dialogue in general
>treat spreadsheet as god when there's a ton of mistranslations and it's obvious where he got bored/tired and started guessing
>43% with no guarantees and a warning

You can play on nightmare by carrying over data, so it won't be as annoying.

...

Nightmare is balanced around carry over. Doing it fresh is like pulling teeth because literally everything can one or two shot you. I think the only boss that didn't mess me up was the Spear of Loa bait guy and the spiders.

Enjoy missing half of the game's content

dualshockers.com/falcom-games-nintendo-switch/

The entire prologue is annoying.
>Game removed all your equips before a dungeon
Yeah, how about you go suck a dick

I fear that I might actually be underlevelled or something. Morgan wasn't too bad since I beat him by abusing Dark Matter EX but I don't think this will work here.

It's not really balanced at all. It was just added on the PSP versions with inflated stats, with no regards for balance. It's way easier with carry over obviously.

Hell, the PSP version of the 3rd made the boss of the silver road incredibly ridiculous. One of it's moves hits you 4-5 freaking times, and each hit counts as two.

Just use the team i was using. You're not going to miss out on much dialogue. Plus Joshua has his broken swords which i dropped from the werewolfs in the forest. Or just level them up a bit.

Nah, Cassius is no pushover even on normal. There's a reason why he doesn't have any escort.

Actually wait never mind, i thought you downloaded my save and was checking if the team i had was good enough.

Is someone keeping track of all the times an S-Craft produces kanji on screen? Does it signify that the attack is extra powerful/special?

No, that's just a chuuni trope.

How would XSEED dub it as?

Maybe it signifies when the original was written in kanji instead of katakana

I just have to do the Richard door first to see the plot and then I'll probably use your save. I doubt that the gambler jack door has anything interesting in it so i don't care too much about missing out there.

The Fact family did nothing wrong.

"hey hey" or "hey ummm" ?

Pretty sure Cain did everything wrong.

What the fuck, I didn't know there was a Falcom general. I'm guessing by the number that it started recently?

Around 2 weeks or so

Mint a cute.

I absolutely had to beat him on Nightmare before moving to another save file. It was incredibly tedious and drawn out especially when he uses Qilingong and one shots literally everyone but it was doable.

She was my second favorite NPC behind the twins

I wish we got her as the obligatory loli instead of Millium

>favourite NPC
>not Becky

CS is so good at highschool hijinks even if the overall game is pretty mediocre.
TX's student NPCs are fucking boring despite being a literal modern day highschool. There isn't even a single romance.
