That's the swamp with rixia right? That's a nice part, the game is pretty much all gas no brakes from here

That's the part! I wanted to say swamp but wasn't sure that was the right word to describe that place. Anyway oh yes give me that gas pedal

---

That is the area that I cropped the screenshot forever ago. I didn't want to show that she was there

---

I did not do Sully's quest

oops

---

Wait you didn't do that godforsaken dancing minigame

---

It's a hidden quest and I missed it, oops. I remember going to the theater once and essentially being told to scram so I never went back!

---

Well you're pretty lucky since if you want full AP you'd have to reload your save and restart the quest each time...and at least for me it probably took around 20 tries

---

I beat it on around the fifth or sixth try after three or four attempts where I only missed one prompt.

---

All aboard the train to Heimdallr!

The scene where Rean's sister asks for a private conversation, they have their serious talk on the roof and she runs off crying, and then all 6 of his teammates are just 5 feet away edging him to run after her immediately after she leaves made me burst out laughing. I hate anime sometimes, I really do

---

Beat the Chimera boss on my second attempt. Classic Ouroboros talking about The Plan and running off. One thing I like about Zero is that these guys are hardly in it, probably the weakest part of the series. So far anyway, I suppose they could redeem themselves. Yin's identity is finally revealed and the response is... surprisingly mild? Lloyd explained why he didn't react as strongly but everyone seemed only slightly surprised too.

At least the Red Constellation is actually doing stuff. Call me old fashion but I like my villains violent and ruthless and not going on and on about some Plan that I still know surprisingly little about after 5 games.

Randy noooooo :( I accurately predicted that Wazy would be waiting for him and even the exact line he said

same

I judge the anime levels of trails on the Wazy-Millium spectrum of great to intolerable. It seems like Cold Steel is much more towards the Millium side so far but seeing how much praise the franchise gets I figure it has to get better

---

"Wow Shirley's pretty ea-"

*one hit kill s-craft*

lol

---

what a way to end the chapter. Crossbell is on fire

---

Yesssssss

---

Get ready for the true final boss of the game: a countdown timer

---

Good lord Chapter 4 started off with brutality

---

Did you fight the countdown timer yet

---

That fight took me...probably like 15 tries

---

I mean, there was no chance I was beating him countdown timer or not lmao I could barely even damage him

I missed that dancing game so max DP was out of the question anyway, so I guess let the time run out and moved on

---

i had to make elie and tio into AP damage powerhouses and have lloyd evasion tank him in the corner. it was still very difficult

---

oh ya fishing notebook COMPLETE

one minor complaint: sometimes after a quest or something it teleports you to another area but leaves the car behind and it's a bit inconvenient

---

The whole fishing side plot with Lakelord was actually pretty good. I never knew fishing minigames needed a fully fleshed out antagonist and an elite 4 series of mini bosses but I'll take it

And then I even get to meet his son in Erebonia! What a franchise man

---

Oh also, I finished my adventures in Heimdallr yesterday. Meeting the chancellor and Olivert in 3D with voice acting was pretty great.

I am starting to get a hint of this, "everyone is thirsty for Reans dick" because when the princess of the entire nation, who is also 15, not-so-subtly wants some of Rean as well then you know they aren't going to stop there at this point

---

Wow, that was a lot to take in. So Deeter (?) is the president now, Arios is the Commander-in-Chief, Crossbell has declared independence and anyone who has a problem with it isn't getting their money back, and the police and self-defense force are now the army. Oh yeah and Wazy is MIA. Also Erebonia and Calvard are getting ready to send in the troops

That escalated quickly

---

All gas

---

Enjoy the ride :)

---

His name is spelled "Dieter" in English, for the record.

---

The Arios fight buildup was way too hype for an unwinnable fight that lasted like 30 seconds. There's so much going on I don't even know where to begin. I kind of had a feeling Dieter would heel turn since the first meeting with him in Zero. Never suspected Arios though. That last line of Chapter 4 was brilliant.

Gundams seem ridiculously OP

---

the Arios fight there actually IS winnable.... with a specific strategy and build.

---

I assume you lose in the story either way!

Also he was level 110 and I'm level 77 I think. I did a total of 6 damage

---

I beat both the countdown timer fight and the arios fight when I played. You get +9999 experience when you win each one, and bonus AP at the end of the chapter. I think the dialogue after the fights are different as well

---

What was the last line of chapter 4?

---

What was the last line of chapter 4?

I meant to say that last exchange, where Lloyd asks Arios if he killed his brother, and he says something like "that's right"


---

The Arios heel turn was great. The national hero being on the payroll of the big bad is a compelling twist.

---

Ok playable Garcia is pretty hype

---

Garcia went from asshole in Zero to 'that dude' in Azure pretty quick

---

Garcia was cool in Zero too

---

Idk the whole thing with his brothers badge made me hate him

---

...What thing with his brother's badge?

---

Where he kept guys badge and then was all vague about what relationship they had

---

I think you're misremembering something. Garcia doesn't have anything to do with that. Are you thinking of Marconi?

---

That was Marconi

---

Ah got it. They kind of blend together in my head

---

Wow, I never would have guessed Wazy was with the Knights. It kind of makes sense in hindsight but that was a huge surprise.

Yeah I feel really dumb for not figuring it out...when Abbas says "Yeah he chose the name of the testaments for our gang because it made it sound too obvious that we were connected to the church for us to actually be" my mind got blown

---

Wazy has a lot of inner monologue that makes it pretty clear he's more than he appears.

I did catch on to that! If nothing else that 1v1 fight where he powers up a lot made it obvious. I just never would have guessed he was with the church. My theory was he was from some mercenary group like Randy

---

Yeah what he said. It was obvious he was unique but my brain never considered church as an option.

---

Well, that's the idea! He doesn't act like you'd expect a church man to act. Although he's not so different from Kevin in terms of personality.

The fact that he knew who Arianrhod was is probably the biggest hint to who he really is.

---

Is that the female ourobouros girl? I thought they were saying towards the end she's like some mythical 250 year old girl from history, so wouldn't anyone who studies history know her? What does that have to do with the church specifically?

If this is some cold steel shit then don't tell me I don't wanna know

Mzero dont read

---

It's the fact that she's an Anguis of Ouroboros, and not many people outside of the church know who they even are. The Crossbell games talk a lot about the long behind the scenes war there's been between the church and Ouroboros.
