Trails Of Cold Steel 3 Part 20 English 100% - Crossbell Party - Boss: Campanella & McBurn

[@hirisen]

You know a game is good when people are having serious discussions on the political implications of the actions of countries

[@MentalOutlvl6]

Playing this game right now absolutely awesome the plot develops

[@mystery8820]

Juna's plea falls into deaf ears.

[@lalalalisa41]

It's a bit heartbreaking to watch too

[@lucinae8512]

To be honest, I don't care what she thinks. I'm in favour of Erebonia taking over, though blame it on me not being familiar with the Crossbell games. I find her views to be one-sided and patronizing, and the only reason I tolerate her is simply because I love Erika Harlacher's performance. That speech only got to me because of her.

[@tidus1ph]

@@lucinae8512 Getting sandwiched in the middle of two countries hostile to one another and trying to claim Crossbell put the citizens in a tight spot. Crossbell's power and independence is getting stripped slowly when technically, they can stand on their own. The Crossbell politicians are trying not to make the two countries angry or they'll be crushed easily. Hence, they were not even allowed to form an army and even cut the budget of Crossbell Guardian Force. The police are just to maintain order in Crossbell and nothing more.

[@lalalalisa41]

@@lucinae8512 You can't tell me that Erebonia constantly annexing other countries can be seen as a good thing, right? Their history of being aggressive and even what they attempted to do with Liberl kind of puts their country in a bad light. Even if you didn't play the Crossbell games, just from that alone, you can understand why Juna feels the way she feels. That's on top of her home being taken from her and her heroes being treated like trash. Even Campanella is pointing out the fact that her heroes are being kept away from doing good.

[@tidus1ph]

@@lucinae8512 Her feelings is the same as Crow. They were in peace and independent then suddenly comes and claim their land and put them in their jurisdiction. Liberl was put in a spot too but just somehow managed to put up a fight. But most were annexed powerless to do anything.

[@lonetraveler3480]

McBurn and Duvalie are the best dynamic and even apart I can see it.

[@chiuyinchan1234]

Well if you know the place in reality where Crossbell is based upon it's just real and heart touching, and we are now in 2024, if anyone takes an interest, try to google which place Crossbell is based on and look how that place has deteriorated. Against giant countries with ample steel and gunpowder and paranoia we are just nth more than a puppet. Damn this feels so close and helpless. Credit to Yuna's voice actress.

[@davidtimmer596]

This was very hard to watch, because I can't help but feel bad for Juna. Crossbell being sandwiched between two larger nations, with Erebonia now occupying it, her police academy credits got taken away, and to keep the remaining ones she had, she had to transfer to the Branch Campus. I always get a bit choked up every time this comes up. How would you feel if your home got annexed by a militaristic superpower?

[@PrincessTwilightdash]

makes it all the sadder when you played the crossbell games cause that ending in azure was kinda ended on a somber end

[@blazesona12]

You can tell ash is very similar to a bull lots of power but is way too strait forward and never moves with a plan unless others get him to listen

[@TheHamborambo]

The irony

[@potatoesblink3299]

So much people with lack of perspective with regards to Juna's feelings. You can't blame her for feeling that way.

[@tidus1ph]

Man, fighting Mcburn with a nerfed Sharon. Sucks they removed her healing ability.

[@mystery8820]

Her healing ability is a Brave Order. It’s called Phantasma Butterfly.

[@natchu96]

A lot of crafts with high powered AOE effects have been repurposed as brave orders to (on paper) make them harder to casually spam, leaving craft based buffs, offensive and defensive, mostly single-targeted. AOE healing crafts are still around but the ones usually available are a lot weaker in healing power (olivert's is pretty strong, but does nothing but heal and even then arts healing heals more)

[@Alycefly]

Why do they show Rufus walking away at 31:54 after Juna's scene? Considering Falcom doesn't leave this kind of things to chance there must be a reason why they showed that - also, a couple of days later Lloyd, Arios and Kea were free so I wonder if he decided to free them after that? I'm really curious as I played last year and I don't remember very well but I'm pretty sure there's a reason Falcom showed that

[@lasrohapanjaitan2914]

His mission is completed by then, making Rean the hero, thus undermining Special Support Section's influence in Crossbell. That also answers why they trapped and then later, freed the SSS

[@zbigbozbboy5245]

Well in the first place if they want, Ironblood and Osborne probably can planned the operation to capture Llyod group but i didn't see any advantage for Erobonia if they capture him even labeling him as wanted criminal is already quite risky.

[@chichiriz]

It pissed me off playing through both crossbell games the heroes that did there job to protect and served are basically locked in a damn open cell politics and that grey zone sure are a bitch it isnt right selfish but very human causes

[@TheHamborambo]

This is why I’m glad they get their independence back after all the curse business is over

[@cs0345]

The birdcage was basically an open air gulag for the SSS and previous government

[@evewhoo]

Wait, you don’t get AP for beating McBurn?? This time anyway. That’s a relief lol. I thought I wasn’t getting the perfect S because I didn’t beat him like Campanella.

[@MentalOutlvl6]

Why didn't juna just join the special support section instead of the branch academy

[@stratfor140]

Because it doesn't exist anymore ? The SSS was disbanded after the annexation and their members scattered in the wind, Juna can't officially join them unless they return (and with the government being the way it is, it's very unlikely).

[@MentalOutlvl6]

@@stratfor140 i doubt that they are free in 4

[@davidtimmer596]

@@stratfor140 And she had to go to the Branch Campus, or else, she can kiss her Police Academy credits goodbye

[@TheHamborambo]

I mean, the SSS at this point could do nothing, but I feel they sent her away so that she wasn’t stuck in the same situation as them. Besides, she helped rean destroy the curse and got the SSS back in business

Im seriously annoyed why Juna keeps hating and blaming on Rean when he himself was a victim of all this corrupt government

[@reno9571]

who can blame her tho her home got occupied by rean's country anyone would blame someone belonged in that country even if they had nothing to do with it.
