Sen no Kiseki 3 OST The Decisive Collision [SAV] (Extended Ver.)

Falcom violins always go hardest on your emotions

[@araragisenpai4088]

Ok this was legitimately the best battle theme in the game, just because of what it's using in it. I love all of the new tracks as well but this takes the cake in how hyped up it made me in these encounters down there.

[@나코-z4r]

i agree

[@frozenwrath1352]

Last time i checked you never win any fight in cold steel, your party always is getting saved or the enemies were "holding back" because the plot of the games were decided even before CS1 kicked in, with no way to actually affect the story in any way whatsoever, is it really that impressive? Also, what's the point in comparing when each FF is a separate story even among themselves, FF6 and Persona 3 would kick Falcom's storytelling any day of the week.

[@stopbeingignorant]

@@frozenwrath1352 You do realize that the Trails series started well before Cold Steel and has gone well past it, right? I can see how you'd think what you think if you thought Trails was Cold Steel only, lmao. That must suck.

[@frozenwrath1352]

@@stopbeingignorant This is the comment that i expected from a Trails diehard fan, can't even extrapolate the fact that i've already played every entry and even machine translated those that doesn't have fan translations or localizations, just from my "the events of CS were already set in motion way before CS1 started". Trail games are a narrative nightmare because of how much retcon everytime they have to go through because they can't balance their games properly because their entries expand beyond 1 system, so that leads to garbage character development, never letting go from their "shounen stereotype" persona.

[@frozenwrath1352]

@@Fabio-ql5yf Go pick any girl and watch their interactions in further games, the "romance" elements in the CS arc are just hindering whatever storytelling the games might have, re-introducing characters over and over like someone is just gonna pop CS3 as their first one and your party gets constantly nerfed with each game. No retcons? i knew Trails fans were on a special kind of copium, didn't think it was this bad.

[@richardisted3703]

The thing for me is that in the original decisive collision battles you could argue that the antagonists were ready to fight and prepared for a fight with friends, whereas arguably Rean wasn't. This time though, Rean and Co are the ones who are decided about what they need to do, whereas half of the opponents this time are questioning themselves as to why they are there....

[@KyunaCookies]

What choice did anyone have? the only people who wanted to be there were Rufus, mcburn, Alberich, Cedric and Osborne

[@richardisted3703]

@@KyunaCookies I think it is fair to argue that Claire, Sharon, Lechter, Millium and even potentially Arianrhod could have chosen not to be there, and probably didn't want to really fight. I am not sure that even Cedric wanted to be there as well, given his hesitation and ultimate failure of his role in his designated task. I guess I was comparing that against the original battle were C had no hesitation about taking Rean on and using his full force to take him out.

Its like in CS1 / CS2, the original version fit the theme of the battle and struggle between Rean and Crow. In CS3, this now fits the theme that things have become serious and that there is no choice but to go beyond these challenges

I've only played CS3, which I randomly picked up after enjoying the battle system in the demo. This boss rush at the end of the game is legitimately one of my very favorite moments in any RPG and the music playing through it all was a huge part of that.

@@WaterparkRanger That's unfortunate. However the Sky series has way less hardware requirements since their origin platform was the PSP. Even with an older notebook you could play them just fine, I think.

[@BakatoTesttoShoukanj]

I have no problem at all. I barely train anyone besides my favorite characters. I play Nightmare with 1st weapon to fight all boss (weak like hell) but I still win. (I did this because I want more challenge) Zemurian Ore weapons are only for grind materials when I want 1 S-craft KO all monsters and pick drops. This game has become way too easy now. No sure-kill S-craft from Boss anymore, just damage (50% cut damage Iron Will from Rean can already do the trick, let alone something like 80% or 90% cut damage) Not to mention Brave Order, Chrono Burst, Moebius Master Quartz that boosts and spreads item effect. Get 1 Evade Tank + Main Moebius, Sub Sophie Master Quartz can help you fight all the bosses in just 1 fight without resting. I miss the earlier game bosses (Renne KO my entire team in 1st turn, Ready or not, here I come) Falcom should make infinity play just like YS or Tokyo Xanadu.

Anyone else struggle with these battles? I struggled in the 1st battle vs Arianhrod and McBurn. That Buff Clear move was annoying and McBurn’s damage was insane with Burn and Curse(?). Then I discovered the OPness of Sirius + Gungnir + Rage + 98% EVA + ATK+3 (and making the attack as high as possible) and it basically trivializes the rest of the fights lol just counter for 40k+ and instant Break then use Wind Blade and wail on them

[@TakerWesker1]

Another trick is to have Juna, Machias and Sara as your reserve members, and just cycle out your last acting member before the opponent's turn with either the Light Speed Flash brave order, Juna for Quick Star or Macchius for Burst Drive. Even with below average setups, Arianhrod and McBurn should rarely (if ever) even get a turn. Great news is that you can use this same trick for the next fight too.

[@TakerWesker1]

Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention that if you want to keep them nice and close, both Sara and Laura have suction moves to keep them basically linking arms the whole fight. Go ham!

I only struggled with the Extreme Difficulty mod. That battle took me like 1 hour with the mod (and 3 try agains).
