same reason they keep including hot springs scenes
they just really don't like change for some reason Part of the reason I enjoyed DDLC even before the twists is that it was like a Japanese VN, but with a totally different feel to it. Kinda feel the same about Voltron, which is like a mecha series but without the usual cliches. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Anyway, chapter 7 of Trails the 3rd complete!
Eventually, everyone breaks through the gates of Gehenna and rescues them. We find out that Rufina is waiting for us in an expansive wasteland outside of the planes. Tita comes up with the idea to use the Arseille to get there, and Celeste makes it clear we absolutely can never come back once we leave. There's also a new area in Gehenna available, which explicitly exists for power leveling. Perhaps the last Star Door is there or something. Speaking of doors, I was very confused because the list of Achievements says there are six Moon Doors, but when you click on the list of Moon Doors on the overhead map display, it only lists five. I decided to go back and check the Moon Doors to see if I missed something extra, and apparently, you can re-enter the first Moon Door with Tita and Agate. How the heck was I supposed to figure this out? I guess they just assume you're going to check doors again after you complete them or something, but what reason do I have to do that unless it's a mini-game door that has multiple difficulties? It'd be nice if it changed the description of the door in the menu or something, at least! Well, whatever. I'll do that later. Anyway, we get some cool new music in the Hermit's Garden. Everyone forgives Kevin, and Renne even explains it was probably for the best that Phantasma chose him to be the new master because it was going to choose someone and it could've been a lot worse. Kevin and Joshua have a really cool conversation about how Kevin is jealous of Joshua for escaping from the darkness of his past now when he wasn't before, and Joshua speculates it's because Kevin never thought he could come back to the light, but now he does. Seriously, Joshua is the best. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well, you can figure out how many of each door are left just by looking at their lists on the overhead map display (since even if you haven't found the door, there's still a blank slot for it) or by checking the Achievements thing, which is where my confusion arose because there was a contradiction in amounts.

The best thing about Vanilla's upgrades over Golden is that the upgraded Persona removes their elemental weakness. Golden actually changed that.
Golden also changed the order in which your party members gain new abilities. Tanking a deathblow for the protagonist used to be the very first thing they learn, but I guess they figured that was too broken so they moved it until much later! --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm slowly working my way down through the Abyss. Defeated two of the bosses so far and got two Zemurian Ores. I guess I'll be able to trade these for ultimate weapons like in SC, and maybe I'll get enough for each party member this time! I'm guessing the final Star Door is down here somewhere, too. --- ...

Anyway, I decided that I wanted to listen to the audiobook of "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" while I was at work today, and I was pretty astonished at how obvious the hints are about who the killer is in the early chapters. That's the benefit of hindsight and all, but man.

Deviated a bit more from the guide in an attempt to fix things; I did dungeon 6 a few days ahead of schedule so I could finish Priestess and Emperor in Hanged Man slots. I'm now 3 days behind for Hanged Man, 1 for Devil, and 1 for Tower (which I believe should be fixable at the end).

Speaking of Persona, I watched episode 3 of the P5 anime! Man, if only getting through the Palace was that easy in the actual game...! I do like that they're being consistent with Persona/enemy weaknesses and resistances during battles. I also like that they're using Joker as a catalyst to trigger Persona awakenings for the other party members so far. Hopefully, they'll keep that up!

In Trails the 3rd,
Once that was done, we took off on the Arseille toward Rufina. After piddling around for the entire game, Gilbert finally did something cool until the game decided to remind us all that he is still, in fact, Gilbert. Eventually, we reach the final dungeon, the appropriately named Phantasmagoria. Getting some really strong Ultimecia's Castle vibes from this place, which is a very good thing. I wish the game had given me some sort of warning that this was going to be a split-party dungeon that would require me to use all of my party members so I could've invested some sepith and money into getting them up-to-date equipment and quartz. Oh well, I made sure to split Kevin, Estelle, Joshua, and Kloe up between all four parties, so there should be one well equipped person in each group. Plus, the game gives you plenty of equipment and one monument along the way to help you out, and you get so much experience from the random battles that aren't very difficult that it all kinda balances out in the end. Zin went from being like level 115 to level 138 by the time we reached the end. I've only finished one so far, and the gate ended with us about to face a golden Pater-Mater (and I had Renne in my party there, too, so I wonder if it recognizes who's in your party and gives you an appropriate last boss or if I just got lucky. The game recognizes who's in your party and gives you weapons for who's in your party during these split-party dungeons, too, so who knows! Maybe every party fights one of these things). Let me see if I can remember my party configurations. Kevin/Ries/Julia/Mueller Estelle/Zin/Renne/Anelace Joshua/Agate/Schera/Josette Kloe/Tita/Olivier/Richard Yeah, that looks right. --- ...

Trails 3:
Re: The Aureole at the end of SC. Do you mean when Weissmann went final form (The Merciless Savior part of the fight when it "upgrades" him further) or when it peaces out after? I don't recall an exact explanation from the games and only vague ideas that I think I heard elsewhere that I can't attach proof too. That said, I will say that the Aureole clearly did have a will of its own based on what it was doing with Liber-Ark so I don't think we can rule out it just started acting on its own, first turning Weissmann into its personal defense system and then later just bailing when that didn't work. Although, since it was apparently always in Weissmann's staff maybe that had something to do with it, since the staff was provided to him by the Grandmaster. aww yes Phantasmagoria so good. Love the music there so much. Also, the chest messages are really great and emotional, especially after they were intentionally silent during the whole Gehenna portion of the game. No Nightmare Arena though? =( --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

The ending was pretty nice, and it almost feels like it's speaking to the player about the characters themselves since this could be the last time we ever see them or it might not, but we're happy and sad at the same time to have reached the end of this trilogy. The Estelle/Joshua/Renne part definitely got to me, I have to admit. Tita's speech was really touching, too. Okay, time for a massive inequality!
