Moon door 2 is a treat so far. Love seeing the Grancel of the past. Baby Dorothy is pretty cute but the best bit by far is seeing
Anton and Ricky
all excited about their new school when I've already seen how they end up a few years later in moon door 3.

Yep, they did.
I don't recall exactly where, but someone does mention he worked in the Student Council at some academy down in Liberl.

Claire mentions it to Rean at one point. I can't remember if it's during a main story scene or one of her bonding events.

The order the characters join the team is interesting, someone with knowledge of the Japanese releases correct me if I'm wrong
Julia and Mueller were originally not playable in sc they made their gameplay debut in third, later when falcon ported sc to psp they were made playable in that port hence why they join so late in sc. Tita and I assume Josette (just got to the bobcat) similarly are early joiners the former because of wanting the player to see more scenes of her mother and josette for being playable for a very small segment of sc. its neat that for the most part the early parts of third largely require characters who had compararively smaller roles as playable characters in sc (since kevin didn't fully join till more then half way through iirc)

Well the fishing mini-game is annoying I crushed round 1 but I keep getting beaten at the last turn on the second opponent, not sure what I'm supposed to do.

Had time to progress a bit today and made it to the 4th plane. Always impressed at how they are already dropping hints for Cold Steel. Falcom are so good at this. Enjoying it so far. Music is kick ass and the battles actually require thinking. Pacing for the plot is good too. Overall it only show how mediocre Cold Steel was for me.

The
Fishing
minigame is largely rng. I did the first round perfectly and lost due to variance in number values (turns out if you tie, it's considered a loss), then every other attempt and all future rounds I won by hundreds of points.

Oh Josette. Eventually you're going to have to learn to give up on Joshua. He's never going to be picking you.

You're not gonna say the same for Kloe?

Well Kloe actually accepted it better than Josette and decided to move on lol
Even if she
still felt the need to tell him about her feelings

--

Btw, I really don't understand the purpose of the trial before accessing the first Moon Door when no other door I did so far had something like that
It's like they gave up on those but forgot to remove the first one

I'm assuming like in past entries in the series that bringing different characters to different events has correspondingly different conversation dialogue. Falcom thorough as always. Just had a great one between Estelle, Joshua, and Renne lol...

Chapter Six boss spoilers:

I have never seen Retry (Easy) pop up after a fight on hard before now. They knew. That was one hell of a fight. Should not have tried to bring Renne and Estelle for the dialogue; Estelle wasn't much help and Renne could not survive anything without Earth Guard and Holy Grail spam, even with La Crest. Richard rapidfire was MVP.

And then the game immediately gives you a Super Belt straight after out of apparent spite. Fuck you Cassius!

this is impossible to win without hacking right? Julia doesn't seem to have the resources to widdle down Mueller's hp even if you get lucky and evade his sbreaks

Also general party question

I saw in the op that you can eventually have a party without Reis, is that some story bit where Joshua is forced/you don't have Reis and you can pick 3 characters or does the game eventually give you more freedom over the party

Thanks fam.

Also, would it be wise to CH.7 Spoilers
take everyone that needs lvlin down to the deeper levels to catch up w/ Kevin and Ries? If so what level to stop at? 125 or such?

Chapter 6 question
how do I use the energy field controls in the prison on the Black Ark? The cursor just vanishes straight away.

Doable, even if
he starts with an S-break. On Hard Mode, used S-break immediately (or used the shield if I somehow moved before him to block the s-break); healed up and mixed in Clock Down and Clock Up EX, then Saint right when the S-break was about to come up again. More healing to buy time and attacking when I could, and I got another S-break off and re-upped Clock Up EX then used healing items and healing to stall and S-breaked when I could. It's tough but doable with zero misses on his part.

Edit: fixed awful typo

I didn't have access to any of those spells, all I had was two healing spells and a few offensive ones. I guess you redo this fight in a later door?

I was on normal, the story arc of the door doesn't seem like it would make sense if you won.
Click to expand...

I know you can win (and have to in order to get a really good item) the battle in Anelace's star door which will also complete if you lose, but I don't know about the Julia and Mueller one, especially since it didn't seem like there was a lack of rewards when I lost it

Made it to the 5th plane...

Damn it Kevin, you shouldn't have used the Kaiok- I mean Stigma!

Now Ries is back in my party, and she's probably gonna devour all my attack foods!

That simplifies things.
Chapter 6 question:

There are two black knights along the academy wall, quite hidden from view.

Man, the last sun door messed with me a lot. I'm just not at all used to the localized names of anything in this series. Still managed to get through the first three difficulties in only a few tries. I was all excited to be done, but then ... forgot about maniac.

Finished the game earlier today- man the final boss music is so good. Been listening to it since I finished the game lol

Thinking about it, this one is probably my fave of the bunch. Idk something about it. Also i liked that it had so many characters and options and the way the final dungeon (minor spoilers about the structure)
has you split into different groups to go down the different paths- it made me kinda think of FF6, which I liked.
And the doors were neat- like it's something that on paper seems kinda odd, but when you do it it's like "oh okay this is works." I also liked the music variety, especially with bosses.

Anyway, yeah- I never thought we'd get this one and I'm glad we did. Back to listening to the final boss music on repeat. lol

I would've liked to hear characters banter about their experiences after they come out of a door though. I'm still rather early on the 3rd plane so this might change, but I'd like to hear what Joshua & Kloe says after their door, for example, rather than proceeding in silence after they came out.
