this is how you know things are about to go to shit

loewe makes individual comments to party members. He teases someone of Kevin's past. Stuff for the next game, I guess

Weissmann shows up, reveals everything so far has been part of his plan and takes control back of Josh, through some back door he left there for that. he is annoyed that we redeemed some orobouros members, but can fix that pretty quickly

we are attacked by more bosses, but then the rest of the party member selection shows up to help, because the lack of them has been ridiculous for a while now

another giant robot attacks us while we are in the elevator, and honestly it's kind of a joke after having battled Loewe. It just serves to boost my CP

the game has the decency to let us save again. I was afraid I'd have to redo the Loewe fight if I got stalled at Weissman, or leave my computer on for multiple days just not to lose the save

aaaaand there is the Aureole aka the mcguffin aka the rogue AI

Weissman is a dick, but he has a point. The real world could end up similar to the future he is describing, with humanity either destroying itself or turning into cattle led by robots. However, being a fictional villain, he's advocating for an even worse alternative to the ones presented

Estelle, once again nails it. She solves the puzzle by saying in the end, the point is other people. Humans are social animals, after all

Estelle has to fight Josh and he gets a 4x attack boost because fuck it thats why

wow, wiessman really as an asshole.

... Josh has been faking it the whole time

holy shit. Kevin! That scene at the start of the arc where he and Josh went to another room!

haven't I said before. Kevin and his church ARE the biggest threat to Orobouros in this setting. Sure, Estelle and co have the power of love and thats great, but Kevin actually has tools to counter the bad guys'

the old man reminding us why he is the most dangerous character in this verse

Josh used Weissman's own evilness against him. Delicious

I beat Weissman so easily I regret using all my CP, because there are certainly more rounds after
the professor fuses with the mcguffin and turns into something more final boss looking

Angel Weismann. 69000 HP.

Nice

I use a zeram capsule on kevin as soon as the battle starts. After Loewe, I'm done taking risks
we are interrupted by a cutscene. No! My zeram capsule!

The boss is invincible, but Loewe shows up to help

He reveals Wiessmann was responsible for the war. I love how every person in the room with maybe the exception of Kevin lost someone dear because of it. Now it has gotten personal

Yet, Loewe is the coolest cucumber in the cucumber-verse

He breaks Weissmann's barrier with a sword he gained from the Grandmaster. Now I'm wondering... did the Grandmaster predict Loewe would betray them? Knowing Orobouros, I'm leaning on yes

second round... there goes another zeram capsule

when you are not afraid to abuse stat buffs

we beat Weissmann 2, who is still considerably easier than Loewe. The battle ends and he's still taunting us. Godamn

way to make an endless finale, Falcom

and... now he has a dozen wings

FREKING HERESY

99999 HP. Ok I THINK that is confirmation this is the final form

this boss's song is amazing

I win. this one was rather tricky, alternating between high attack and high defense forms. Still easier than Loewe, but not a picnic either.

Loewe dies. Weird how taking all those hits didn't kill him, but breaking a barrier did

Russel: "The aureole disappeared? That could be bad. Estelle: "Define "bad" [ground: starts shaking] There are things you don't ask

Josh tries to stay behind in grief, but a good Estelle slap to the face gets him back together

We cut to Weissmann, who is just realizing he was also being played with. Everything continues to be part of Orobouros's plan, but not his

Kevin: "I wasn't even using my full strength all this time"" Seriously? The world almost ended, you know

Is that the third or four time Kevin reveals his real identity? I've lost count.

DEUS VULT

Holy fuck Kevin is SAVAGE

The Fool shows up, finishes killing the bad guy and absconds with his spear, which... I'm guessing is the aureole?

tfw Kevin managed to make a detour to give Wiessmann a holy execution and still end up ahead of Estelle/Kevin in the escaping group

The game isn't over with the drama though, so we get a scene where Estelle and Josh get separated from the party and make a last kiss before what they think is their impending doom.

My bet is that Renne shows up next with her mecha and bails them out

This scene has been directed by Michael Bay

Well it's not Renne, but Cassius fucking Bright riding the fucking dragon. Cuz why not

Dragon: you have beaten the game, but there are more games coming

"Trails 2: Brought my man back and also saved the world for a bonus": beaten

Now to watch the credits

Now for the epilogue scene. Josh and Estelle visit Karin's grave. And the game is ending right as when the two are now a sappy couple, because I feel many more interactions like this woudl get annoying quickly

The two leaving for a journey is pretty cute, though

And... fin.
