I got to chapter 3 in Trails in the Sky a month or two ago then stopped playing, it's a great game but games just don't hold my interest like they used to. I can only stand to play for 30 minutes to an hour, which isn't very good for trying to get through a lengthy series of rpgs.
Played an hour last night and only stopped because I got too tired. I think I might get back into this game. I find the battles really satisfying, I've always been a turn based fan and this is a great system. Orbments are cool if a little overwhelming to optimally set up. I got to Zeiss and I wandered off looking for a quest monster, ended up in one of those towers and nearly died but it was fun.

And you can just speed it up in CS.

Don't get me wrong I'm still enjoying Sky but I'm 30 hours in ready for it to be over. I think that's my fault for just wanting to get to CS3 though

Doesn't Trails in the Sky have Turbo mode now? I thought it got patched in.

Yeah.

I also JUST bought Sky SC and Ys 1 and 2 on psp, bringing my total number of purchased Falcom games this year to 8.

They oughta hire me or something. I could be the fat goon with a tire iron that sits in the corner during business meetings maybe

I'm not being serious he's still good

But his voice actor is like 40% of his character to me though. Maybe that's part of my curse of playing these backwards

Is his voice in CS as deep as it is in FC/SC's battles? That threw me off when I first heard it but its how I imagine every piece of dialog from him and it makes him even better.

He's the same VA as the artist guy from Persona 5 if you ever played that

If not, then no it's not very deep

No. He was voiced by Troy Baker in the Sky trilogy. In the CS arc they got Matt Mercer to voice him.

Oddly enough, his original voice actor in Sky is Troy Baker of all people. Would have been interesting to hear him if they would have been able to get Troy back.

does olivier have a big role in cold steel
Pretty big yeah but he's not around a whole lot. When he is though he's great. And he does play a significant role

So I beat Ys Origins today. 7/10 played as Hugo. Decent story. That always gets me about Ys.. They have better stories than you'd think.

Then I went into Ys Chronicles. The combat is kinda meh but still enjoying it. Got to the bat boss and got my ass kicked a lot, gonna switch back over to Sky now

If you can manage it, I'd play it two more times for the other two routes. The third route in particular made it worth it for me, personally.

It's also the better localization with XSEED as they redid the script when they acquired it, as opposed to Konami.
Also "It now includes widescreen and controller support, an ability to warp between checkpoints, plus a more difficult Catastrophe Mode where healing items cant be purchased or stored and are instead used automatically upon pickup."

As long as people tag things I wouldn't mind, but this is CE. >_> Someone would toss some huge spoilers out there just to piss people off and laugh, unfortunately.

Also yeah, Ys I final boss almost had me rage quit, too. Just...pure bullshit, that guy. Took me hours, and only did it because my friend convinced me to keep at it. I almost swore off Ys II after that but I ended up loving that one a lot more, and the whole way through.
