Even on Normal I was struggling. Tough as fuck.
It took a while to grow on me, but it's definitely no Sophisticated Fight.
In my case, cant beat the CS 1 last boss in nightmare difficulty.
It looked easy in the first place but the citical hits makes it pretty hard.
Probably I need to do a specific sequence of attacks to "nullify" the criticals, but it looks like I dont have a margin of error in this fight because the limit of EP and the Craft costs.
And this fight is loooooooong (need to beat 2 bosses before the last boss without save)...
It looks like I need to have luck to win this fight, because the umbalance system is essential and the crafts works with a margin of success of 30% or 50% to umbalance the last boss...
On Nightmare:
Once you get the rotation down perfectly, it really does just come down to getting lucky with dodges. And by perfect, I really do mean that you can't fuck up even once otherwise you should just restart.
Pro tip to help make the process of getting there go a little faster:
Assuming you have the Master Quartz that charges all HP/MP/CP while walking, give it to each character till they're fully charged, set your actual party Master Quartz after, make a save, then go into it with a full party at 200 CP each. You should be able to just spam 200CP S-Breaks in rapid succession and get to the final part much quicker.

Do we have a release date for Trails in the Sky 3rd Chapter yet? I was contemplating between playing Cold Steel or wait for the 3rd.
They were leaning towards late spring when they last talked about it.

It's also 100% edited as of earlier this week, so it looks like there's a good chance of hitting that.
Wait so June is possiable? Nice!

The script probably isn't the main hurdle, but rather the technical work/QA.
I can almost feel it happening....
Please let thm launch this without issues and on time

Well they did say in the same update that the QA was looking good. So fingers crossed that it remains that way.

Omg! Now I'm even more hyped for the Crossbell games! I had no idea it was possible to be this hyped for games that've already been out for the better part of a decade!

Crossbell will not disappoint, it really that much better than both CS games.
That doesn't seem hard. Most good games are better than those filler packed overhyped RPGs.

Does Crossbell feature head patting?

Lloyd Banning does not need to resort to physical contact for everyone to fall in love with him.
Edited for accuracy
Is he a Kirito?

Eh,
Its sucks that the CS Arc had to bite the 3d test bullet cuz if it was 2d like the previous games then it coulda been great
still like them tho
yes

Hahaha they are actually quite similar, they both even share the fact that they take care of
a little artificial girl/deus ex machina that also love and idolises them.
Oh no. Crossbell has a Yui? Noooooooooooooo!

I am just playing along with Duckroll since he is the number one SAO fan. This will definitely attract him to start the Crossbell games sooner!
Playing through CS at the moment and I'm loving it.

Pssh, duckroll made a dedicated thread hyping up Trails of Cold Steel right after he finished it. He's the guilty party of the whole thing.

Duckroll seems to be one of those people who will love a game but endlessly make fun of its flaws
Meanwhile I might (jokingly) nickname Rean Kirito because
Or nickname Elise Suguha because you know
CS handles it better (so far) though. Not that that's hard to achieve but
Meanwhile I might (jokingly) nickname Rean Kirito because
both have hang ups over being adopted and a sister who's crushing on them

I should make a running tally of headpats in Crossbell.
I know Lloyd headpats KeA a lot, but she's a little kid, so it's fine.
Lloyd headpats Tio just once I think, in Ao. I think he may have done it once in Zero but I can't quite recall.
Randy headpats Lloyd once in Zero.
I... don't think Lloyd ever headpats Noel, but I have this sneaking suspicion that he did once and I forgot.
I think that's about it. Someone else can correct me on incidental hand to head contact crime totals.

You were the chosen one Lloyd. You were supposed to destroy the headpatters.
All my hopes now rest on Kevin. Don´t fail me father.

I feel like some of you guys could use a good headpat

Ao stright up had a beach episode chapter.
I cant wait for the gaf meltdowns when eveyone finds out.

Noo, why do you look so happy, Rean? I want you to suffer.
On a more serious note, this is the rare time when I think a character actually looks more handsome in 3D render form.
I hope "what happened in North Ambria" would be delivered through a series of PTSD-style flashbacks.

Damn, I thought the next info drop was going to have class vii info. Ah well, I'll take the confirmation that all of the new class vii is already revealed as good news to me.
I think that's mostly what we already got from famitsu and dengeki coming directly from Falcom, next magazine info should have old class vii
A class of 3 students is a bit weird but I agree that it's probably better for the game, cold steel cast is already plenty large

Also remember these are all just details from the prologue. More characters/students could be introduced once the main game kicks off.
