Gotta admit when rean said “Fakes........YOU’RE BOTH FAKES!!!!” I got chills man. Plus the opening playing while fighting him was legendary, ngl I was crying dog.

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Somehow, despite the fact that I almost never cry at games, I almost did

[@planet_macee]

@@fierytigergaming8112 it was that good. This is the first game to make me cry on god

[@albelnoxofaquios]

I never thought it would but it really hurt to have valimar like this for so long. Seriously I never thought " Heed my call, Valimar the Ashen Knight! " and then hearing Valimar say " Acknowledged. " would actually mean so much to me until it's taken away.

[@TimPaler]

"This is your final challenge, Rean" *laughs in Hajimaris*

[@Kernviter]

That's what crow said in CS2 and I was like "aren't there 3 more games in this arc?"

[@neumann7888]

Just noticed something. The last time Lianne fought side by side with Dreichels is against the vermilion apocalypse and saving Erebonia. I imagine this part is quite the little trip to memory lane for her. Shame Roselia is not there in person to see it

[@lolRNG]

21:00 Machias reacting to Celine always gets me XD

[@fierytigergaming8112]

"How did THAT happen?!"

[@silverknight876]

42:18 That’s a nice little callback to CS1 making Elliot and Machias be the ones to point out Vita’s singing. Clever Clever Falcom

[@Gamet150]

Until you pointed that out I completely forgot about that

[@fierytigergaming8112]

I just noticed that in the fragments scene (After defeating Rean), they made Rean sound more human after each cluster of fragments returned to him, as if to say "All these people need me, I need to fight this curse!" Plus, the power surge that came out of Rean when he was defeated was eerily similar to the surge of power the Nameless One got before it destroyed Valimar's tachi

[@deathbykonami5487]

Osbourne channeling his past self as Dreichels when he spoke to Arianhrod before the battle, especially since they were lovers back in the old days

[@lordoffire5404]

True

[@najmudinnaufal5684]

they weren't really a lover, but she admitted that she wanted to make a baby with Dreichels. if i recall.

[@davidtimmer596]

@@najmudinnaufal5684 In one of the shrines, Class VII sees a vision of a dying elderly Dreichels being plagued by Ishmelga, then Lianne shows up and Dreichels recalls their promise to grow old together being broken due to her dying and being revived. I think you see a glimpse of it in the 2nd shrine, and you see it again after defeating Rose.

[@najmudinnaufal5684]

@@davidtimmer596 that is so sad, really. i mean, i can't imagine how is her feelings when she just lived again only to watched her beloved with someone else, again.

[@zbigbozbboy5245]

@@najmudinnaufal5684 well she felt she can't give children to him either way so maybe that why. She did imagine Rean as her son though

[@Gamet150]

The curse and Rean being the Ultimate Sacrifice help to explain a lot of the reason why his friends were able to get to him and save from the many traps he get into throughout the past 3 games.

[@ritsuko89]

19:54 I agree with Ash...Let Altina hug Rean... 41:41 Gaius and Emma seems to get a good idea if Rean gives the signal...

[@riyadislam3441]

Surprised Arianrhod and Duvalie didn't take Ash's head on the spot for that comment at 30:48.

[@fierytigergaming8112]

I laughed at that

[@DD-bw1xb]

Lol ash is so fucking funny

[@NeoDanomaru]

Being over 3 centuries old, I doubt Arianrhod could deny it even if she tried to!!

[@Deserit]

Gotta say, I was a little afraid that Osborne's new VA wouldn't be up to par but, I gotta say, he's doign a really good job.

[@DistributionMackerel]

You can tell both his and Laura's replacements tried really hard to emulate the original performances. I feel like Osborne has it worse, he very noticeably lacks that gravelly timbre from before.

[@davidtimmer596]

@@DistributionMackerel I was hoping Richard Epcar would've been the replacement instead, because he has that deep enough basso gravitas to sound convincing enough. I know people are gonna draw parallels to Ansem/Xehanort's Heartless, but his voice sounds closer to the original English voice.

[@yurionedge2199]

Laura got a new voice actor too?!

[@zbigbozbboy5245]

@@yurionedge2199 the fact you just realize mean the voice actress is quite good.

[@rainbowsnail4171]

Does anyone know WHY the original VA wasn't used? I can't find any info on why so many VA's changed for CS4 :S

[@djwip]

damn i was expecting an emotional impact at the reunion, but i werent ready for that at all XD, guess im getting emtional now then XD

[@fierytigergaming8112]

when it comes to Rean's name being in katakana in the boss fight, I think this is to indicate that due to being in his ogre form when he's affected by the Great Twilight, his conscience is in shatters (This could also be why the subtitle is "A Shattered Blade"), and all of the fragments were Rean regaining his conscience through his memories(?), since Millium was there despite being transformed into the SOTE, and Valimar despite losing his thought processor via the transformation. Ultimately resulting in him reclaiming his name

[@TrueLucinova]

His name isn't written in katakana, it's just distorted; the same effect was used on the Japanese side, but "REAN" doesn't actually resemble his name as written in katakana - リィン - anyway. In the fight itself, they just called him ???, though yeah, your analysis is pretty much what they were going for

[@johns162]

My feels!

[@fierytigergaming8112]

*Activates Ebon Crest* *Rean uses Termination Slash -Dusk* *Craft reflects* Me: "WHAAAAAT?!" Also me: "I didn't know Ebon Crest blocked S-Crafts! Well, not that i'm complaining, I probably would've been done for if not for that..."

[@carter2electricbogaloo652]

Well it’s an Omni reflect for a reason

[@fierytigergaming8112]

30:48 Me: "Uh, Duvalie? Could you please FOCUS ON YOUR OWN JOB?!"

[@isaacburtley2987]

Stupid that Juna had to name shame Ash before the fight. Wow 😏

[@deadking4421]

Can’t wait for tomorrow

[@lx6381]

what is the ost called when fighting rean at 3:39?

[@TrueLucinova]

Aishite e no Kiseki, the opening theme of the game

[@blackdragoncyrus]

There's no "U" in "Osborne".

[@babatundeismail6732]

Not gonna lie I struggled alot with that osborne and arianhod fight mostly because of how fucking stupidly op osborne is took me an hr to get the ap requirements

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Same here, even with "Breaking Dawn", it was hard

[@celica9288]

Really? I get you were probably on normal but its rare to see beserking rean not get the chance to s-craft

@@CGInferno what?! Did he get nerfed for the English release or did you just crush him?

[@CGInferno]

@@celica9288 Just crush him. And even if he did get his s craft could always defend against it lol. Like most Trails games if you have the right setup every fight is simple

[@GalvatronScurge]

@@CGInferno Exactly it looked like his Musse had a really good arts setup that was able to shred most of his hp and also the liberal use of the insight buff. Also in this fight he doesnt use his infernal gale

[@daniloss1319]

Look I don't know where Grandmasters identity thing is going but unless they do something pretty cool with it I would have made it either be the steel maiden or Osborne. If it were the steel maiden then Ouroboros would have been made to try and banish Ismelga and the curse, if it were Osborne (the version I like better) it would be the exact opposite Ouroboros would have been made to fulfill Ismelga's and the curses wishes. I am saying they are wanking Ouroboros way to hard and unless they have a clear plan for who their leader is and what their goals are it might fall on top of them

[@carter2electricbogaloo652]

I personally ascribe to the theory that Adios herself is the grandmaster, I mean why else would Ourboros want to collect Sept Terrions like they are trading cards

[@funywunky]

Why does it make that weird sound when they go to say rean.....it’s annoying me

[@Maghanashi]

Because he's "lost" himself. His name is forgotten. It ties into several other elements of the story regarding "forgotten" people/creatures.

[@fierytigergaming8112]

@@Maghanashi Such as the dream at the beginning of the game, where his name was censored in the dorms, and his awakening when the first thing he asks is "I...who...am...?" (Before breaking free from the prison)

[@ulissesferreira180]

came here to check out the voice acting and it's as expected, terrible.

[@Sawtje2]

Better than japanese tho, that's for 100% certain.
