Good to see you getting into Ys as well as Trails. Can't catch you live as unfortunately it's usually the middle of the night for me, but I've just watched the 1st part of this & will watch this later.

Wow this came sooner than I expected. Only made it 32 mins in sorry. Will watch later, though Sunday... I've appreciated religion as of more late (catholic), and Monday, that's when you folks start mass voting right? Then Tuesday, holy dung... Even as a Canadian, this is the most important election ever in the US (and the world). Maybe I wont get to finish it for awhile. ANYWAY... Honest question that I Mean with all seriousness and politeness... Why do you sometimes say 'ask', and sometimes say 'axe'? Is 'axe' habit and you're trying to break it? Is 'ask' normal and you sometimes say 'axe' for entertainment? (I do this), Something else? Your reading comprehension (thanks to playing rpgs no doubt, school is carp) is beyond your average modern university student, but you're also humble about it and just say 'I don't know' about certain unusual words. Honestly I mean no disrespect but I guess because I'm in Canada, the 'axe' thing is almost non-existent here, and I'm trying to get a grasp on it because to my understanding it wasn't a thing even in the states like 12 years ago. edit: 33:00: Lawl, your quickbar reveals a certain Duvalie/Shirley scene, you dirty dirty boy. edit: 35ish mins in: 'how strong is adol the protag... Ok... So I don't watch anime, though I've watched Frieren (which I enjoyed btw), but one thing as a Japanese game fan I've noticed is that... maybe not just anime fans, but maybe... They seem really hung-up over how 'strong' fictional characters are, and compare them to other ones even in other universes/IPs/etc with completely different laws of physics, etc. I DONT GET IT. No offense, but this seems to me like a juvenile 'my daddy is stronger than your daddy' (and for the record, I haven't had a daddy since I was like 5, and no, he wasn't a war hero or something who died in battle, so yeah, I lose every time). But all that aside, People gush at how stonk Adol is, and I'm not attempting to dispute that claim on an individual level, but I'm trying to articulate why these disputes make no sense to me with this as an example... Every game, adol fights wildlife/nature/trash, and they supposedly pose as a challenge, and every game he meets team-mates and party-members and allies who are capable enough to not be complete push-overs against said wildlife... If Adol was super mega op that he stomps every falcom protag ever (such as Rean, who btw, I don't even like, so no bias here), why does every new land's rando-wildlife prove to be a challenge to him until he levels and gears up? At what point does Rean seem insufficiently powerful compared to the wildlife that local villager guards seem powerful enough to handle on their own? I'm not trying to convince anyone Adol is weak. I'm desperately asking why people seem so confident in their 'power estimate' impressions about fictional characters when my brain is telling me that the logic doesn't compute, what am I missing?

Back on the trail, fan service ahoy! And oh yeah not knowing what happened in-between cs2 & 3 (crap northan war anime) makes things a bit confusing at times.

Old class VII's back, baby! With them on your side, surely now you will- "THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY" Better get used to being bailed out, it won't be getting old any time soon...

Coldsteel 3 is where the characther count starts to get a little bloated for me,as everyone needs to react to everything to remind you they exist For now its manageable but sometime it feels like "What does your 3rd cousin twice removed think about that bird you saw?" levels of useless dialogue

26:23 The audible gulp Was not expecting the video to end this way. It was a very good transition

Is you give Altina Elliot's Master Quartz as Sub she at least gets his most important skill: the increased healing percentage.

Yes, the numbers of the Enforcers correspond with the Major Arcana. Starting with No. 0 Campy the Fool.

Yeah, Reans situation is a bit tricky. At the end of Cold Steel 2 he essentially became a puppet for the Erebonian government. He doesn't like his situation. It is bad. And his friends don't like it too. So they all put in the work to be able to support him when he needs it. And the harem mechanic gets even worse in this half of the arc. Or so I've heard. Every girl is part of the harem now. But if you ignore a certain one of them another character might finally get his chance. At least I heard that happens. You just need to ignore all of this specific girls bonding events to not make it weird between her and Rean. Not like I care about any of this. I ship Rean with Alisa. And I didn't get to play all week! I must play today at least! I just need some ingredients for cooking first. Or I just make chicken rice and then on monday I will cook curry. Good idea. I want to play more Trails so bad but my priorities. And I wnat to buy the new Rune Factory game. You can do something insane in that game. You can marry off the 2 protags! With each other! I can have my damsel in distress plot! Good lord, my wallet!

I don't know if I said this here before, but even if I did, I'll say it again for good measure: I hate how events as important as Rean losing control of powers and Aurelia (ever so slightly) mellowing out were done off-screen in-between games. It feels really cheap. And the worst part is, the Northern War anime should've solved that problem...yet it didn't. On another note, when you were discussing nicknames for Kurt, the first thing that came to my mind was "Kurt of the Hurt." Is it lame? Perhaps. Does it not roll off the tongue. Probably. But it was the best thing I could come up with.

CS3 is so peak

Weapons adhered to the cliffhanger technique... Interesting. He has become more powerful than anticipated.

Err... Since when did Agate have long hair? Does he in the anime or something? I never watched it.

Am i tripping or a quality of voiceover is actually really bad in cs3-4 ? I mean in terms of mixing Some characters scream in your fucking face while the others are voiced so quietly that you can't catch some of the words they're saying Especially certain cheerfull bracer

A canon truth you can extrapolate from this very video: Class VII was rescued-in-the-last-second so often in the past that they actually conspired to be able to do it themselves this time around!

That's why Altina and Millium is so useful as the Party Leader, they can bonk people with their bots for an easy Battle Advantage :D

This episode tells one of the reasons why I like CS3 so much. Things gets explosive real fast. The night raid on the train is good wake up.

Can't believe how I missed that "Already guys welcome back to some more Trails of X" 50:56 How 'bout Killer Kurt?

I Still love my boy Rean with burn to Kurt.

Lmaoooo reannnn called her dazzlingly beautiful

I like Angelica and Shirley if they were guys I wouldn’t but I’m okay with double standards

Damn Duvalie got marked out

I’ve been waiting

How did fie know that laura and millium hug him? Is there a class 7 rean simp group chat or something? Also now that fie is a bracer, there is something cool if you notice. Remember in sky that junior bracer need to walk across the country and help the multiple branch to become senior bracer but erebonia guild branch are basically closed off. So she most likely travel abroad to get her certification.

Shirley doing surprise grabs on ladies will never not be funny lol. Weapons talking for Rean "Aurelia stepped on me" .......Never thought I would so jealous of Rean but here we are. Thanks for the upload.

Fie: 31:31 My Mother: *Walks by* Who even says that anymore? xD In other news: I personally like to blame the Northern War anime for why Rean can't control his ogre powers anymore. For those who have seen it, you know why. (For those who don't get the joke, don't worry it's not a spoiler or anything, the anime was just that bad.)

46:21 Elliots been training his ultra instinct i see😂

I do not envy you for doing this particular installments in a nutshell or summary. But I do appreciate you doing them. Sometimes these plots get so heavy and convoluted that having someone literally spell it out for me makes all the difference

Having Old Class VII constantly save the new does get old after a while, but I do appreciate how the game goes out of its way to make the OG crew feel a lot more powerful. With the kids you're finding kittens and fighting archaisms, but once the band gets together it's enforcers and other powerhouses. Also, while Ebon Crest is quite powerful, it's a little too expensive and short duration to be spammed out. Rean's brave order is the better one to use 90% of the time because it's so cheap and spammable. And I'm still holding out hope that one day you'll finally start using Fie's most powerful craft. The 100% crit rate of stealth gives her more power than Laura, especially once you get the MQ that boosts crit damage.

"RADIANT PHOENIX BLADE!" Laura taking after her dad

I can't wait for the next episode. It's going to be mighty interesting.

Welcome to sub master quarz, Weapons🥳 This is gonna help a lot going forward

I love that the rest of old class 7 moved themself into positions where they can easily help out Rean when he needs it. Finally taking control of things instead of getting pulled along👍

Poor Speed Du Barry 😔

We back ya'll, maybe we might just finish this game before DayBreak II launches 😂

It didnt make the video but poor Wayne's bad luck got him again during the camp raid😅

Without spoiling... Claire is the embodiment of someone "torn in pieces"

23:16 Probably some of the best 25 seconds of my life👍

We are so back, bitches!

Honestly the only thing that would make shirley more terrifying would be if her weapon could devour people like god arcs😱

The <laws of physic> are going into overdrive in this game😂

Hell yeah Laura is just killing it in this video

3:20 "Now in 3d"

Duvalie always getting shafted with the worst partner in crime😂

While I'm not a fan of the groping, can we just appreciate how AMAZING Amber Lee Connors is as Shirley? She can switch from plain, civilian mode casual to deranged psycho PERFECTLY. I think the shining example is when she's charging the train and let's out that throaty cry "If you don't wanna get caught YOU BETTER START RUNNING!" Like seriously. Yelled with a voice like that would make a lion start running. 11:49 Anyone else think it's weird that a master of the ARSEID School is teaching the VANDER School? 42:54 "Icy Maiden Elliot" Ho-ho, you have NO idea the irony of your words! (Not a spoiler. But if you ever want to, look up stuff about the Northern War mobile game's localisation...)

Ayeeee and we’re back! 0:40 You can thank CS2 for that. Falcom used it so much they just leaned into it and basically made it a meme

"That will not be necessary".. You'll be hearing that

Been waiting a while for this haven't clicked a video in my sub box this swiftly in a while

How did you get the blood surge god arc?

It’s like anything: things go in and out of style. Sometimes, when you have the unpopular interest, you just gotta keep at it until others start to come round. Like how chess became popular a few years ago. Or like that huge stir in the 1990s abut videogames causing violence. I think in the case of bullying, it usually starts much earlier than that. Like obviously if someone gets bullied for watching anime, others would have to KNOW they watch anime. Usually, bullying starts long before the bullies learn the victims’ hobbies. Certain kids get picked out for eccentricities or, dare I say, being weird. In my case, it was definitely because I was weird. I never watched a single anime episode until long after I left school. In terms of anime, I surprisingly can’t comment much about that because I haven’t really seen much anime. I’ve played a decent few JRPGs at this point (though most are from the same franchises) but anime? I’ve seen exactly three. And only one of them have I watched all the episodes currently out: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: This is the only one I’ve watched in full so far. Absolutely amazing show. Most clever and creative fighting I’ve ever seen. Komi Can’t Communicate: Sought out this one because I really reated to the title since I was also very shy. Not quite as shy as Komi but maybe as much as Tadano. Welcome to the N.H.K.: Watched this one because it was recommended by a cartoon reviewer I liked (… who turned out to be a groomer *sigh*. The show’s good though. I won’t stop just because of that). I haven’t watched as much anime as much as I probably should because I’m really worried about diminishing returns. When I first saw anime clips online I was constantly AMAZED at how different it was. I literally went crazy every time I saw a sweat drop animation, emoji or specific off-model moment like “OMG I’VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE THAT’S SO CREATIVE!!!” I don’t quite react that way anymore, but I hear all this criticism about anime - this thing I once saw as godlike creativity - and think, how could anyone possibley hate that? They must be over-exposed to it. I think I’ve been a bit TOO sparing, though. I’m sure there are more interesting ones I can watch. The closest thing I can relate to anime fandom is being a fan of Western cartoons. I used to be really into the cartoon reviewers community on KZbin (as I mentioned before). phantomStrider, TheMysteriousMrEnter, PIEGUYRULZ, Jem Reviews. I guess that might be similar to an anime interest? I’m not sure. Oh one more thing: the shower effect is cool, but do you think you have a very large container you can run the water into. No offence but just hearing all that water get wasted...
