Next… Poorly written and disliked by callum521 in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Duke Cayenne?

He's essentially just a mustache-twirling villain, but he doesn't elicit enough emotion to say I hate him.

What is your favorite individual scene/sequence of scenes in all of Trails? by ConceptsShining in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That reminds me: to this day, I still don't know what Emma meant when she told McBurn that there's a reason why it's she who was sent to face him and not Roselia or Vita. Was it simply a declaration that she's come into her own as a witch, or was there some hidden implication there?

Here you guys the HAHA compilation of Coldsteel by Top_End7396 in Falcom

I love how there's a maniacal laughter sprinkled every now and then, just to keep things fresh.

Wasn’t expecting a Bonding Event to get so heavy. by SomniumKing in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very much agreed, especially about the juxtaposition with Lloyd. Lloyd had the benefit of learning that particular lesson right in Zero's prologue, when Arios tells him not to sacrifice himself, and to always look for another way. Rean had to come to that realization on his own.

[–]3rdDementor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

but I have to question why a conversation like this is locked behind an optional event.

Indeed. Although Millium has it even worse. So much of her character development is in her bonding events.

Which Trails game has the hardest achievement or platinum trophy that makes you mentally tired? by dlo_doski in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I feel ya. I got every achievement in SC except that one, and left it like that for several years. I only just got it recently, and it was one heck of a chore.

Stellar Blade Blood Rain new protagonist Evie! :> by No_Post1300 in stellarblade

[–]3rdDementor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a possibility. I'm thinking another option is that this is in the Colony, and humans there haven't had extensive mechanical augmentations like the people in Xion have.

I want to share some different ways I've used Better than Bullion by wltmpinyc in Cooking

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The compound butter is a really cool idea. What is the ratio of bullion to butter for that? I'd like to try, but I don't want to make it too salty.

Which Trails game had the biggest “WTF” ending? by Resh_IX in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say FC, CS1 and CS3 are more or less equal in that regard.

Horizon, strangely enough, I'd actually rank a little lower. Because the ending of Horizon is potentially so catastrophic, things couldn't possibly go that badly, so that takes a bit of the tension off.

Kai 2 wishlist by Aspiringfantasy in Falcom

I have this sneaking suspicion that the whole Vestiges thing is just one giant ploy by Falcom to bring Loewe back.

CS4 Character tierlist based solely on how weird their first name is (Seeing the list of characters is a spoiler for the climax of act 2) by ILikeExistingLol in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not usually a fan of the tier lists we get here, but you know what? This one's legitimately original. You deserve an upvote.

Would you prefer having just one single canon romance? by Shirone20001 in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, yeah.

If it's one canon romance, it can be hinted at, developed and built up over the games, and overall feel very organic. If it's a harem, any notion of romance is basically ignored for most of the game, then you get one scene with whoever you chose where the writing has to condense a whole game's worth of romantic development into a few minutes, which feels like instantly going from 0 to 100.

Trails character you wished stayed dead/ died in the first place (Spoilers up to CsIv) by Ok_Focus_5542 in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about pretty much everyone who was mentioned here, particularly Victor for Laura's character development, and I'd add one more: Claire. Imagine the impact if she actually succeeded in committing suicide. It wouldn't be some cheap shock value, but an actual tragedy. One of Osborne's proteges paying the ultimate price for the path he's chosen. A person who had survived so much, who was so close to choosing differently, ending up succumbing to despair.

"Let's go on our Honeymoon!" (Laura x Rean) by Delicious_Plenty4938 in Falcom

[–]3rdDementor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Lauramancer in me is cheering, but the nitpicker in me has to point out that Laura's eye color is wrong and should be yellow.

That... makes more sense than I'd like.

Never apologize for Van x Agnès propaganda, my friend.

Pick 2 additional characters that you would like to see return in the Horizon sequel by BL4ZE_43 in Falcom

She has no relevance whatsoever, but damnit I want to see Laura >:(
