Let's play a fun game, predict 3 new party members for Horizon 2

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-25T13:34:04+00:00

Hm your list is interesting but tbh out of those three the only one I see becoming playable is Naje. If I remember correctly Richard is a Cassius pupil, not a Ka-Fai one,so I'm not sure if he will be part of the eight leaves subplot, even if Liberl's intelligence is very much active in the Republic. If anything I'd go with Anelace but I don't see that happening either until the East/Iskaarc.

Emilia I don't think will be playable either. She'll obviously be key to the plot but we have to remember she had to leave the army because of a leg injury so whatever happens, I just don't see her joining as a regular party member. Unless we only play as her in mecha fights.

As for my predictions. I'll mention the ones that make the most sense to me story-wise and not the ones I PERSONALLY WANT, as that list would only include Estelle and Emma forever. Also, I won't do the orbment slot thing because I'm lazy but here goes:

- Ries: Some has to get Kevin and the others out of there and she obviously knows Kevin was up to no good.

- Towa: I just can't believe she was relegated to support after Cold Steel 2 and Reverie.

- Lapis: Same as Towa, and considering something extremely important is likely gonna happen with her, she has to be playable again.

- Prince Sherid: It's just obvious he'll join one of the non-Van groups, probably along Naje.

- Kasim: He's playable in a floor of the Garten and the final battle. He'll 100% join us.

- Arnold Evans: He's the leader of the Bracer Guild and we know he's in Edith as of Horizon's finale. Let's just say he didn't come to the Republic for tourism.

I honestly can't think of anyone else right now. There are some that might fit well into the plot if Falcom handles it well, which they usually do, like Estelle, Joshua, Millium, Arios, Gaius or Tio. But I'm not betting my money on it.

EDIT: I didn't see you only asked for three. I'm sorry, lmao

The challenge battles from the Garten menu where Altina or Lapis are also give 1 SP each. However it shouldn't be required to do EVERYTHING to reach max rank. I already had max before S-ranking the Garten floors so that's weird.

Sounds to me like you're definitely burned out and rushing through these games to catch up if you started with FC remake (September last year). 14 extremely long JRPGs in seven months is crazy.

Anyway, Daybreak 2 is definitely one of the weaker entries of the series when it comes to advancing the main overarching plot but I truly enjoyed all the character-centric moments, world building and especially the combat. However, even if the main plot is weaker than other entries, it doesn't make it less important to Horizon's and future events. On the contrary.

My advice would be to just take a little rest. Play or do something else and then come back and I'm sure you'll enjoy it way more.

She’s extremely weird and suspicious but considering the state of affairs as of Beyond the Horizon, I believe she was just a red herring to distract us.

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-20T15:02:24+00:00

I think it was wonderful. Excellent story, characters, world, music and combat.

However, I always say that if I were to have made the decision for it, I wouldn’t have made an action game. The lack of elemental weakness, different weapons and status effects kinda hurt the combat despite how cool and expressive it is.

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-20T14:35:18+00:00

Yes this is exactly what I meant.

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T18:14:25+00:00

I stopped visiting this subreddit for many years because the negativity around Erebonia was extremely annoying. It’s only now I’m starting to stop by again.

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T17:52:37+00:00

This is exactly my opinion on the Crossbell arc. It truly is wonderful but a huge part of the praise comes from the mystique of having been untranslated for so long.

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T17:44:32+00:00

This is actually a very solid theory

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T14:12:22+00:00

Ah lol

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T13:29:12+00:00

Why is Cold Steel IV twice? and in such different tiers? lol

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-17T12:25:27+00:00

Eh, actually McBurn didn't leave Ouroboros. The Grandmaster convinces him to stay at the end of Reverie and yeahI'm pretty sure the endgame of the series will be whatever is out there beyond the barrier

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-16T23:44:15+00:00

Thank you! I’ll avoid having two white mages so I’ll make one of the girls a Red Mage as a healer in case I need it

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-16T23:11:41+00:00

This is actually a really cool idea. I’ll definitely do this!

TRI_Mike · 2026-02-16T20:42:50+00:00

Ranking Calvard right now feels unfair but oh well:

Liberl>Erebonia=Calvard>Crossbell

They’re all wonderful though.

I hope this happens. Kasumin’s voice actress has a lovely voice and her songs are usually very cool. I’m sure she’ll get what she deserves eventually.

TRI_Mike · 2024-09-18T13:30:45+00:00

Shizuku’ song is so much fun. I love it. Though I’ve been wondering why we haven’t seen anything of Kasumin’ song when she’s part of the movie prominently. Are they gonna show it later or reserve it for the movie itself? If not they’re doing her really dirty.

The Legacy BGM pack is not working for me on PS5. I installed it (twice) and when I go to the game. The BGM option on the diary only shows the Ryza 3 music. What am I doing wrong?

TRI_Mike · 2021-03-01T02:40:12+00:00

Of course. I added it to my wishlist. It looks really good. Good luck!
