It was never like, a genuine conscious decision <_< maybe a couple of people thought that way? but by and large the mentality was "this is the obvious person who hasn't won it yet" and it wasn't wrong. it's more that it was predictable than that it was "decided"

I may have been misinformed on this and if so I will recant my statements! I even remember people saying Digi was penciled in to win the next year, but I guess that may have all been a joke or something

I am not exaggerating when I say I have never felt as severe muscle/joint pain as this.

I'm in Florida so it's definitely somewhere that numbers have been rising.

From 3rd on this isn't the case however, and in fact I'd recommend playing on at least Hard for 3rd (and for all of Crossbell and Cold Steel though I know you already played CS).

Challenge Accepted!

I have finished the prologue. I totally called the attack being an act btw. I wish I posted it in here but I was positive it was all part of the training.

Joshua has gone full Sasuke and is hanging out with the Sky Pirates.

The bad guys discuss The Plan. We see Lorence, Weismann, and weird face tattoo guy (forgot his name, whoops)

Back to Estelle and friends! When given choice, I of course instantly selected Agate with zero hesitation. If you choose Scherazard do you go to Rolent instead or do you go to Ruan either way?

Estelle should have chose Anelace over Joshua imo that romance would have been top shelf

Also, there was 133k recorded deaths in just 4 nations of the EU (Spain, Italy, France, UK) compared to our 119k.

That's about 240 million population to our 330 millionish.

It seems like less of a "challenge" and more of bull stuff to me, but I'm certainly no expert. I may go back and try hard again someday

I started the game on Hard and kind of instantly regretted it when I opened my first ambush chest and got rocked. But I also don't want to restart on Normal because 1) I don't want to do all that again and 2) I still have my pride

I have heard that it gets easier after the prologue. Is this true? Also are normal attacks supposed to be useless? Estelle does like 1 damage! Used up basically all my EP killing those frog things in the sewers. Kurt wasn't too hard to beat because he just kept spamming his DEF UP move.

FC's ending is so good. And yeah, the game in general really picks up around Zeiss, IMO.

Fun Fact: If you play very intentionally bad and have an atrocious Bracer Rank (like close to the minimum possible BP in the game, think it has to be Rank 6 or worse) the ending is altered and you don't get the final S-Craft festival "battle" against the half-dead Reverie. Cassius just beats the shit out of it and destroys it himself.

Lol, that's pretty funny actually. I ended up at Rank 2, so not bad I guess? I assume 1 is the highest

Beated game! The Richard fight was the hardest of the last sequence. Cassius smacking him upside the face while he was whining was so good.

I can't say I thought Professor Alba would turn out to be a fiend! It was kind of convenient how he always happened to be around. I knew for sure Joshua was going to take off after that scene, but I was expecting him to just be gone when Estelle got back with the ice cream. In the last scene, I was expecting him to go Lorence style and just jump off the castle. That would have been cooler, but I guess Joshua can't pull that off (understandable, it's not an easy move!)

Joshua and Estelle romance thing is kinda weird but eh. They're not really related, so it's fine I guess.

Second half of the game was really good. I really regret not finishing it years ago. I'm pretty stoked to jump into SC next!

Was in response to:

This specifically I strongly disagree with and think this notion is a symptom of what I discussed before. You can tell when a Japanese performance is REALLY good or REALLY bad, but the in-between is a blur and often gets elevated above Dubs because of weebery and the 'I don't have to hear this shitty dialogue in my native tongue' factor. This is also a subject I care a good bit about though because every person in real life I've met who is staunchly pro-sub has also been a colossal asshole who ticks every checkmark of what you would expect an elitist anime fan to be like, so I tend to push back on the discourse when I see it on the internet.

Well I'm bilingual in both English and Japanese so it's definitely not that!

It wasn't terribly hard to navigate, but it all looked really similar so there weren't many landmarks so I ended up going to rooms I'd already been to quite a few times

I got weapons for everyone except Agate, two pairs of each of the boots and two of each of the armors. I tried going back and looking for Agate's sword but I couldn't find it :/ not sure if there's anything else I missed. I felt trolled at first because I got weapons for everyone I wasn't using first, so for most of the dungeon I only had Olivier's. I understand Estelle and Joshua's being near the end though

Watching live action acting is a significantly different experience because facial expressions are added to the mix. Singing is different because the main requisite for good singing is 'this sounds good yes/no' - the actual lyrics don't matter as much.

The main requisite for voice acting is also "does this sound good". People don't just walk in there and talk, they get training just like singers and any other actor. Of course, there are situations where it would be harder to understand due to cultural nuances and such but as a whole you can tell if acting is good or bad regardless of language

Ah, I missed several side quests so Max BP wasn't in play anyway, so I guess I didn't miss out on much. I figured he could be beaten with the right accessories but I didn't have them, and I didn't know if it was possible to win so I didn't reload my save (and I think I saved over it now). I still don't get why he just bailed though. Did I miss something or is that supposed to be a mystery? Other than that, the castle siege section was pretty rad.

The ambush chests in the underground place are rough. Not hard, but they take a lot of time to clear out

So what happens if you actually beat Lorence? Is it possible? Does the same cutscene still happen? If so that's really unsatisfying (and one of my gaming pet peeves, both unwinnable battles and beating a boss but your characters get rekt anyway). Also I didn't really get why he just peaced out after the fight and told us how to stop Richard.

Ok I'm in what looks like a final dungeon and I get to choose my party! Agate and Olivier no questions asked.
