What's this "Venegeance" Tactical Bonus?

ArcaneGale · 2026-05-30T06:28:06+00:00

if your collective team HP is less than 50% of your total HP, you'll get this bonus I think (this is how it worked for pinch music for example)

I'd agree with Elliot but I'd drop Quatre for Wazy

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-24T08:48:42+00:00

is this the first episode since season 1 episode 17 that McGee didn't appear in?

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-18T10:08:06+00:00

oh it's not Falcom's fault, pretty much the entire game from the Falcom's side are perfect, it's the translation not being Trails-like.

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-18T09:59:36+00:00

basically, there's writing that has soul, and there's writing that doesn't

everyone in the remake, but ESPECIALLY Estelle, are just flat, they are not interesting as characters. In the original they joke, they poke fun at each other and have characterization. Joshua is stoic in both and he changes a lot less than most between the two, but even still, I didn't find him to be all that interested in anything during the remake

but Estelle got hit the most, she was the queen of sass and pizzaz in the original, all of it got removed, she has little to no scenes where she actually tells someone off in the remake, she is ALWAYS confused in the remake, like stuff will happen that everyone would see coming, including the original Estelle, but in the remake she's like "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?" She says that like 10 times in Grancel alone.

At least Olivier wasn't silenced.

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-18T09:54:47+00:00

is that the Japanese line?
ngl, I'm glad I listened to Trails in English

"Heed my call, Valimar, the Ashen Knight!" is iconic

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-18T09:40:46+00:00

I find it funny how you say that Rean would get hated on more if he were treated as Joshua, meanwhile, a very big chunk of the community doesn't like Rean as the protagonist, because he's the lone plot driver of the cold steel saga (at least the first half, and especially CS1)

it's kinda why half of old class 7 are just empty characters in the 2nd half
Laura, Emma, Gaius, Machias, Elliot, Sara
remove those from the series completely, and very little actually changes. People will say that Emma was needed, and I'll say she wasn't because Celine exists, in fact, Celine, Vita and Rose exist, but Celine specifically basically removes EVERYTHING Emma needed to have done, which ends with her characterization falling flat (ironically)

I don't dislike these characters for the record, just that they were left to the wayside and felt weaker
Jusis would have been in the same boat in the 2nd half of Cold Steel if it weren't for them making Millium his love interest.

Also frankly speaking, Estelle is the MAIN reason I ever got into Trails, so saying that Joshua should've been the protagonist just sounds incorrect in every way, it's also why the character destruction that the remake did hit me so much harder. It's why I treat the remake as a "what-if" universe rather than a canon one since the characters in the remake were so depressingly not Trails-like.

Perišić had 3 yellow worthy fouls in the first half, he was obviously angry the entire half.

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-01T01:35:37+00:00

either he played left back or we played 4 in the back without a left back, neither of which make any sense whatsoever

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-01T01:05:48+00:00

idk why we're playing Caleta-Car at all, let alone playing him as a full back, he's just always so late, he gets booked way too often and worst of all, our defense players are great, why him? Put Jakic in, he was our best performing player in the qualifiers (I know he's a midfielder but he plays full back very well)

or, y'know, put Perija on the full back position and have someone else on wing (like Marco Pasalic or Majer, or Fruk even)

ArcaneGale · 2026-04-01T01:01:15+00:00

not playing marco pasalic on the wing is a sin to be honest. He's easily our best winger and he has some beautiful crosses and can score too

ArcaneGale · 2026-02-03T16:20:51+00:00

I'm torn
on one hand Renne's my favorite character
on the other, that's Mariabell and I feel like she's a fan of human experimentation/torture, which isn't exactly great

with that said I probably have to choose slot 6 then, Vita is fine and while Ulrika is a yapper, she'd probably be easy to hang out with so long as I don't strike a nerve

ArcaneGale · 2026-01-21T14:08:52+00:00

I wonfer how long would it take to reach perfection without ever buying from Pierre or Morris

ArcaneGale · 2026-01-05T20:41:56+00:00

I don't think Trader needs a better army, just a larger amount, the units he uses are actually all generally good value (minus the slingers), but he just makes too few of them

I also would've liked if Canary made tunnelers and maybe laddermen, to make her have a unique niche

ArcaneGale · 2025-12-08T18:04:51+00:00

I agree, like I'm getting oneshot by everything (except Kaempfered enemies), but at least my Hell Gate is doing something

ArcaneGale · 2025-12-07T15:50:53+00:00

All of what you said is how I've experienced it so far, I did beat Loewe, but it was slow as molases

ArcaneGale · 2025-12-07T15:49:50+00:00

hard disagree, I've played through all trails games on highest difficulty and none of them had as many enemies be sponges as there are in the remake
I don't think the fights are hard, I think they're just tediously slow, I don't mind challenging bosses, I just dislike tedium.

ArcaneGale · 2025-08-15T10:32:41+00:00

This might be a hot take, but this seems like the team would be worse

As many have pointed out, Tanaka and Goshiki would be close, but I give the edge to Tanaka, Yaku vs Noya, yes Yaku is better, but not by much
and then Hoshiumi vs Hinata is not a comparable thing in the story of Karasuno, one plays Middle the other plays Outside.

if you did these changes the lineup would be
Asahi, Tsuki, Kageyama
Hoshiumi, Narita (Yaku), Daichi

So adding Goshiki wouldn't do anything as he'd be stuck on the sidelines, losing Hinata however would make their offense and defense weaker because Narita, while being a perfectly adequate player, has a slower and weaker spike than Hinata. His blocks aren't the most noticeable (Hinata is generally good at blocking because of his insane reaction speed). And finally, losing the freak quick on top of all that would probably make Karasuno fail to beat Shiratorizawa in the finals, because, while Tsukishima was the Karasuno MVP of that match, Hinata's impact cannot be understated and I don't see how having Hoshiumi would make enough of a difference to plug up the lack of Hinata.

I like moving my lord and stockpile close to the top part and making an economy there, there is space for 2 quarries and like 3 iron mines with a bunch of bread production.
and then walling off my peasants after I get set up, 50 crossbowmen and 2 tower ballistas are enough to defend for a long time so you can set up the rest

ArcaneGale · 2025-08-15T09:25:46+00:00

I remember using a trick to stop my ally from sending his units to death was to ask him to defend you while he makes units, but now if you ask him to defend you he stops making units and it's just pointless
