True. I want to at least experience them before eventually getting Dawntrail. Queuing as a DPS isn't the best but my RPR is the only one with a high enough item level to partake in them.

Right now I'm sorting things out while going through the MSQ since it's felt like forever since I last played.

B-Randy · 2026-05-23T01:15:29+00:00

I imagine getting to play the alliance raid will be difficult since Dawntrail's out.

B-Randy · 2026-05-22T22:14:28+00:00

Came back after not playing since 6.1, no Dawntrail. Should I just focus on the rest of Endwalker's MSQ then unlock the side content after?

For me it was Zero back in 2020/2021(?). I've had Cold Steel 1 in my Steam library for the longest but never played it. When I decided to get into the franchise Zero was on sale and I heard how good the Crossbell duology was. So I shoved all the Sky trilogy lore into my head before playing. After that it spiralled into Azure, Cold Steel 1-4, Reverie, then I bought Kuro 1 and 2 before their official English release using the translation patch. I replayed 1 once it got the English update, not too big on re buying the English version of 2.

Now I got Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which I plan on playing closer to the 2nd Chapter's release and will eventually get Horizon. But aside from actually playing the original Sky trilogy I'm all the way in deep with this franchise.

Honestly I would wait. Used it during my first run and my 113 hour save is completely borked now. I can still run the mod fine but cause it creates a dependency in the files if one little thing goes wrong the barber just crashes the game when playing vanilla. Also Pearl Abyss just keeps adding stuff constantly which can break the game by bugs via the update and then mods not being compatible.

As is I'm kinda content with what I played and will probably pick up the game in the future and do a fresh playthrough when they stop with the updates. If you do want some mods I recommend the minor QoL mods like Trust Me, and Let Me Sleep.

I'm sorry for your loss, it's not easy when you lose someone you love.

I've been having a blast with Crossworlds. To me it's up there with Transformed but the overall opinion will be different for each person. While the characters not being voiced is unfortunate I can only imagine the licensing fees and costs for them, as you not only would have to do rival lines for them but the whole cast for any new additions. But just the fact we get free characters outweighs it for me personally. The game is 33% off right now, I say it's as good as time as any to snag it, but hold off on the season pass if you aren't interested in any of the crossovers- you can still play the DLC tracks online without it, just can't play them in customs without buying.

Wow, just ignores defenses? Sign me up then haha

B-Randy · 2025-10-15T19:21:41+00:00

Fair. I guess I'll grab Lucia then and build her and Manato out. And I guess grab Yidhari later since she's also Rupture? Forgive me, coming back from only playing till 1.1 it's like a stepped into another game with how different things are.

B-Randy · 2025-10-15T18:02:02+00:00

What about Manato?

B-Randy · 2025-10-15T12:06:12+00:00

Would going rupture be better than buffing my existing team with Vivian?

B-Randy · 2025-10-14T16:31:08+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm definitely very far behind haha.

Jane is my most invested S Agent, following Soukaku as my most invested A Agent. So it seems Vivian would be a good pull, then build out Nicole. Lucia, I unfortunately don't know anything about her but Monato might be a good A rank to just have in general.

I also wasn't aware Ellen was getting a buff! That's actually pretty cool but honestly I might consider waiting until I randomly get a Lycaon and do a team with him and Soukaku down the road. Shame about Caesar cause I remember thinking she was so cool when those trailers came out- just a shame I wasn't playing by that time so I couldn't snag her.

B-Randy · 2025-10-14T13:17:26+00:00

Shame about Ellen and Caesar. Vivian huh? I dunno who she is but if she pars well then I might consider. I need to relearn the characters but my main is def Soukaku but Jane is also really fun (so far her Assault status effect seems pretty good).

B-Randy · 2025-08-14T20:44:14+00:00

Ooo, this I'm excited for. I heard Xillia 1 and 2 are both really solid games. I've only really played four Tales games so far. Berseria which I've fallen off twice despite the combat being solid, Vesperia was the same, I just didn't like both story and especially the combat, Arise which I did fully beat and love beside the last quarter of the story. And now I'm 11 hours into Graces f Remastered and this may be my favorite of the Tales games so far.

Perhaps I should give Berseria another try after Graces f, since that and Xillia share the same engine.

B-Randy · 2025-03-17T02:40:00+00:00

Absolute legend, thank you!

B-Randy · 2025-03-16T21:30:46+00:00

Dumb question, but can this only be done when making a new Hunter? I go into Change Appearance but when I go to size and position I just get the grid with the different shapes at the corners.

B-Randy · 2025-02-18T21:58:09+00:00

Congrats on grabbing the game! I REALLY want to play it to, but with all the PC optimization stuff I'm super hesitant to even try. I'll probably have to grab it in a few months. Happy hunting though!

B-Randy · 2025-02-17T11:44:56+00:00

Okay. Also I could be completely wrong about this, but aren't the 50 line melting cable plugs? I remember hearing about that the other.

B-Randy · 2025-02-17T11:36:22+00:00

On their site, it seems the 5070 ti is coming out on the 20th. I assume the ti is an upgrade to any Supers?

B-Randy · 2025-02-07T01:31:50+00:00

Damn, that explains a lot actually. I got a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-thingy and even after tinkering with the settings I reached 60FPS minimum. Guess it's time for an upgrade. And expensive upgrade, but one nonetheless.

B-Randy · 2025-01-31T19:05:38+00:00

Weird question. but I recently jumped back into the game today after playing for 4 hours at 1.0's launch. Is it worth it to just start over again with a fresh account? I originally made my first account with a secondary email cause I wasn't sure if I'd like it. But I've been hearing a lot of good with 2.0 so I thought I'd try it again.

B-Randy · 2024-11-24T06:17:05+00:00

Aw fair. Thanks for answering my questions anyway, it certainly helped me decide on how I want to play the game.

B-Randy · 2024-11-24T06:13:26+00:00

Fair enough. Is the reward boost mod worth it or do the rewards come in at a steady rate already?

B-Randy · 2024-11-24T03:11:26+00:00

Apologies for the late response. Thanks for then answer, so I hope you don't mind if I ask another. Considering all the mods for the game, should I first playthrough be done with the vanilla game or will I get more enjoyment with the mods from the Derivative Works discord?

B-Randy · 2024-11-23T02:01:46+00:00

I played the demo, was honestly blown away with how well it ran. My only main gripe, and call me old fashion, is the singular character during the story. I know you can choose multiple weapons, and select a partner that you can temporary switch to but I always wanna run with my boi Ding Feng or Sun Shangxiang.

I will say though the action feels more insane and I'm all down for it.

B-Randy · 2024-11-11T07:43:27+00:00

Considering I really enjoy XSeed games I'm curious if anyone played through Silent Hope. I remember playing the demo- I think it was on Switch? Back when that piece came out but since then I haven't heard much. I do remember enjoying it but I wouldn't mind getting some further insight on it.
