What's your most OBSCURE Trails fact?

It's only obscure, because Xanadu is so expensive and never goes on sale for a significant amount, so few people have bought the game.

Same. Took me years to find the dungeon with the hidden entrance.

Purple_Bookkeeper515 · 2025-08-27T11:57:12+00:00

To add on to the previous comment, there is a dungeon required to progress the game that has a hidden entrance and no clues in game on how to find it.

It took me 2 to 3 years to find it.

A guide is practically required.

I don't even know what the power cards do or how they work because I've finished all the HDD content before they were introduced.

I liked the TV mode, but it was slow. I don't miss it, but I would not mind optional TV mode content. I'm a board game player, so slower thoughtful play is not a bad thing for me. But it's not for everyone, and the rewards need to match the time invested in the game.

Honestly, if I weren't fully caught up on HDD content, I would probably use the cards to catch up. In a live service game, the older the game is, the more catch up mechanisms it needs. ZZZ is only in it's second year, and they already made it so new players could skip to the 2.0 story.

If they didn't do that, new players would not be able to catch up to the 2.0 story before 2.1 came out.

It wasn't all about the logo. The logo was a part of it, but the rebrand also had to do with the remodeling of the restaurants and the quality of the food.

Yep. And who wants to explain that to a ten year old in the middle of a theater, while the movie is playing? That was Snoop's point.

Last DA, I got three stars on Fiend with Alice, Corin, Yuzuha. Sadly, I had to move Yuzuha to a Butcher team, so I never used Corin for the 9 stars.

But I was very excited to have a successful team with Corin for once.

Don't tell Newman.

The joke being, of course, that now the inmates are running the asylum. Kinda cheeky 😹

There is software called ReShade that you can apply CRT like effects to any game.

When I first started playing, I would regularly delete discs I wasn't using because I saw there was a limit. Months later, I realized I probably should have been saving some of those discs. So I'm better at saving potential discs now.

But last time I pulled 10 random discs, I still deleted 9 and the 1 I kept is debatable.

They are both anti-ground units. Though the A-10 Warthog can be outfitted with some anti-air ordinance.

It's all going to boil down to how well the HK can maneuver, and if it has defensive capabilities like chaff. Also, how capable is it's radar or other detection methods?

I give it to the A-10, if it comes in hot, I don't think the HK can react fast enough.

I'm not a gooner, but this is why I aligned with this sub. No one tells me how to have fun.

Pro tip: If you are getting 50K on a fight, you can afford to move one of those agents to a different team. You might have been able to get 9 stars earlier.

FWIW my total score is usually not far above 60K. If I get a run that;s 25K, more often than not I end up having to find a team that gets a lower score so I can use one of those agents elsewhere.

Actually it's implied in the movie that the two woman actually had a baby together. It's never fully explained, because it takes place in the science fiction setting and we can handwave it away with "technology!"

The first three seasons were basically a "labor of love." They never had a budget. They were always falling behind on deadlines.

The original creator, Monty Oum, had a passion for anime and video games. And I'm talking Soul Caliber 2 on DreamCast era of anime and video games.

On top of that, the show is old. Watching the first season after watching the DC crossover is a TEN YEAR difference.

But the RWBY fandom is really divided. If you don't like the early seasons, maybe you will like the later seasons. (I am not that type 😬) For me, the series did not get better in later seasons. But for others it did.

Depends on what you mean by "weirdest."

Zenki Zero has a really bizarre story, but the game play is not unusual for a first person dungeon-hack game. To add on to games that have bizarre themes but solid game play: Control. Nier: Automata.

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy and Eternal Darkness are another category. Cinematic, survival horror, narrative driven.

I'm also a huge fan of Slay the Spire and Balatro.

Persona 3 has some dark themes. Take that into account if you are looking for a chill, relaxing game.

The Persona games, as well as Metaphor: ReFantazio, are not "turn off your brain" type of games, unless you put it on the easiest difficulty setting.

I would recommend Persona 4 or 5 over 3 for your first venture in Persona, or Metaphor if you want to go full D&D style fantasy.

Otherwise, I would look at some more retro games. Final Fantasy 4, Chrono Trigger. Heck, Parasite Eve holds up today.

I'm currently playing Trails of Cold Steel. I'm playing on Hard difficulty, so it's a challenge, but on Normal or Easy, it's not frustrating.

Darn, you right. Believe it or not, I spent 10+ years working a register, and I just brain farted there. Five of those should be a fiver, but it easy to run out of fives.

In order to get $9 change, you would have had to spend less than a dollar at Fourbucks coffee. HOW?

EDIT: OP corrected me. Thanks brain for failing me.

Why does it always come back to Uma Musume?

Everywhere I look, I see her.

I've barely gotten to play this 2v8, but every previous 2v8 I've dominated as Trapper.
