There are other things going on with Millium anyway. ;D
I'm being vague at the moment, because it's almost 5am and I can't remember if this was something that came up in CS or CS2.

I really , but really don't think about millium that way . I didn't miss her , she wasn't even on my radar . I don't recall anything between millium and her that all . there was those 2 lines where milium call her funny/weird and that's all when she arrives in the school.
Millium interractions with the game is so focused on julius and the rest of class 7, she wasn't even part of the equation.
I was worried about millium at first but at the end of the game , i treated her like a class member. She upsets people ? fine. i'm fine with the character except one thing that is irrevelant right now.
As for the character ages, this is again , like just your opinion ... and ignoring all the teases that she is indeed an agent and doesn't act like a super genki girl.
I mean , her appearance AND behavior doesn't even match the 8-9 years old in the game and seems older than them ..so whatever your agenda....

I can't remember, was it Criminal or Pandora I should buy for Master Quartz? I already bought Moebius.
Criminal is the most powerful Arte Master Quartz. Good for Emma or Elliot. Can't remember what Pandora does.
Always be levelling Moebius, and buy Megalith as soon as you can. Those two combined can break the game. Hope you are fishing when you can as well!
That sounds pretty good as well actually. I guess I never experimented with Artes much this game. J mean I nuked everything with them in Sky. Aerial, White Gehenna, Death Scream and so on. But in this game I felt they buffed physical users and crafts and it was easier to use them instead. My team of Rean, Laura and Alisa walked through ever, Emma was barely even needed. Gale/Brilliant Spin my way to one shot battles.
From the top of my head Pandora doubles the Arts power at the cost of a higher (double?) EP cost. You can break bosses into tiny pieces with that.

Nice, so I bought Criminal, now it's just a guessing game on who should get which Quartz...
Jesus christ, how did people play the vita version without killing their eyes?
Got a headache after playing it a bit for 20min.
Non native resolution + blur filter + tiny text = me squinting at blurry stuff, and that's not fun.
And I thought Japan was more careful about everything that can screw with your eyes after the pokemon anime seizure thing.

I didn't encounter any problem at all with the visuals of the Vita version. Had a super sharp image and a normal font size.
Just wait until you get to the larger areas and towns so a 20ish framerate can accompany those other traits.
It took me about half an hour to get used to it and small kanji is significantly harder to read. My eyes died a long time ago, though.
Yeah I had the same problem at first. Thought it was quite small but got used to it after a while.
I'll just continue my ng+ on ps3 lol.
It's a shame my vita is mostly used for indie games or older ports. It's like games are either not native resolution, or god awful framerate (gust pls), or both!
NX is basically the vita's successor (HD handheld console), hope it doesn't fall into a similar hole.

Huh, the game's likely running at 720x408 or below, and it uses heavy antialiasing which arguably gives the image a less crisp appeal (but is still better than no antialiasing since it's sub-native anyway).
The HUD and UI are rendered at native resolution however, but I wouldn't really say it has a normal font size - it's clear the interface was designed for PS3, and then scaled down 1:1 to the Vita display with no accommodation for the handheld format. Some of the text sizes of the interface and menu elements are unacceptably tiny, but overall it's OK, especially compared with some other games on the format.
I did it with Fie on first playthrough, Laura on second.
Fie's voice actress is awesome and I liked her jokes
(storing munitions in a dormitory room will never not be funny)

Played fine for me. Maybe im just used to this sort of thing
Risk of Rain took it too far.. And i still played it lok

Mirrored thoughts with this. Fie is still my favorite, but Lord did that make her a parody unto herself. "Well, in my old school.. " syndrome.
I look forward to seeing more interacions with her in CS2, but does that aspect of her writing become any better?
Running through on my second play through, and it seems fine to me. Sure some of the edges aren't the sharpest, but I feel it's fine.
Sara of course.
...then I went back to do the others (the ones I unlocked) for the trophies.

I feel you bro. She's great, let's hope her interactions are more interesting in CS2
Cause she deserves it
e: oh and I obviously picked Jusis during the last part because I was genuinely hoping Rean
would ask him to dance

Why wasn't this a thing? Haha. I can only imagine the plethora of potential Jusis reactions.
At the beginning I was kinda eh on Fie, but then I grew to like her more than the rest of the playable characters.
Sara still GOAT though, right behind Claire.
Hey we agree on this pretty stronglyI'm sorry, you seem to have mistyped "Laura."
(I won't try to hide my biases.)
I could add about the thing with Fie may be because that's not just an important piece of her past, but an important piece of Zemurian history, too.

But since Jaegers are banned from operating in Liberl, you don't have the context about the "big deal" that they can be without Crossbell. Especially considering Zephyr and its role with other bands.
Are Quartz properties still in this game? i.e. In Trails In The Sky mixing and matching different elemental Quartz would give you different Arts. I've only unlocked two slots but it seems like the Arts and Quartz have been condensed into one? I just recall (I think in the engineering building) that there was a list where I could basically synthesize Arts.

*fistbump*
Not a damn bit. Lol I managed to one-shot a boss with her at one point because the stars aligned right. But then again, it's way easier to break multiple members of the cast now, too. Lol
I had an arts user break the 9999 barrier on low level arts every time he cast them by about midpoint of the game.

Yep. It also increases the Area of Effect of arts
That latter part isn't really that impressive when the highest tier spells are full field ones anyways, but when I first got Pandora to max level in legram, it was REALLY FUN seeing Emma create tidal waves out of the lower tier water spells
You don't need to complete lines in order to use certain Artes. If you want to use Volcano, you just equip the Volcano Quartz. No need to create chains of 6 Fire, 3 Mirage and 2 Wind for example. Most of the quartz you can buy from the Sepith shop will just let you use the associated arte. However the quartz you find (or create via Micht's pawn shop) will have extra passive stat bonuses. Other non arte related quartz will usually be stat bonuses, or effects like defense down and so on.
Personally I like the changes as it makes it simpler and makes physical fighters who don't have long orbment grid lines mkre viable.
Thanks!
The game hasn't said anything about it at the point I'm at (Celdic) and if it did, I missed it so I wasn't sure what was going on. I agree, the change seems like a good one. I didn't mind it in TiTS but the benefits of meticulously planning your layout was a little lost on me.
I'm sorry, you seem to have mistyped "Laura."

I second this. Laura is awesome and never left my part unless the game took her away from me. Always have a soft spot for the slightly introverted characters.

i love her english voice actor
As a character shes rather plain but she does get some great moments... and some not so great moments.
Gets satisfying bonding events
Is amazing to use in combat lol

Hmm... okay, so Hatsuu said that September isn't necessarily out. Just that September 6th isn't the actual date.
Sigh. Well, whatever. Went ahead and preordered the game. With the Prime discount, it ended up being like $31. That's cheap, especially considering how rad this thing is inevitably gonna be.

Hm. I thought I read CSII was much better balanced than CSI, i.e. all kind of game-breaking setups from CSI were nerfed. I guess people just figured out other ways.
Also, that last point doesn't seem all that impressive when you take into account that Rean and the others start at or around Level 40.
Yes this is good news. Alot of the time in CS1 my battle strategy was basically "Everyone Support Laura while she wrecks shit" and I loved it.

Laura seems like the most consistently used party member
I think across my three playthroughs though I only used her once. but I think I used everyone at least once save for Fie, who was either on two or 3 of my final teams

Laura is also a classy lady.
Yeah, you don't get them right off the bat. Just keep playing.
I still found it more balanced, mind you. CS2 doesn't always let you just run roughshod into certain situations. I could one-shot some bosses, then another would wipe the floor with me. I'd retweak, and then wipe them.
There's a lot more playing with the setups, and fiddling around and the game deciding to throw you a curve ball from left field.
And what level you start at doesn't really say anything about the game. Look at Trails in the Sky the 3rd, which I believe is absolutely the most challenging game in the series, and you don't start at level 1 there, at all.
Sidenote: CS2 is not what Evolution did to the Trails in the Sky trilogy in terms of balance. lol
What I meant was that damage numbers are inflated because you start at a higher level than CSI, not that it made the game easier.
I hope they manage to get it out earlier in the month, would be nice to be able to play through it before FFXV comes out.

It's also on a last-gen console, which likely is the determining factor on the price matching.
i recall odin sphere was $50 on ps3, which is still hilarious because it ran 1080p 60fps like the $60 ps4 version.
I don't mind games not being cross-buy, but the exact game feature wise being priced differently on different systems idk. I can understand the business decision but still pretty lame.
