Did you use the catalyst scimitar blade much in XC2? Or like many others did you not like the tradeoff for doing so? (Just being vague because spoilers, though it’s not like it’s an amazingly well kept secret)

Which playable character from the Sky arc that didn’t reappear in Erebonia or Crossbell would you most like to see come back in another game?

Which Falcom character did you have the biggest change in opinion on as you played the game(s) and saw more of them?

Honestly this is probably my thoughts as well. Either bracers again or another member of the Gralsritter in an Arteria arc, maybe we play as Ein’s squire or something.

Actually I just came up with this specific idea and that sounds great to me…

Do you have a preferred type of setting for JRPGs?

All the protagonists of the Trails games have had a variety of different professions: is there any particular role you’d be interested in seeing a new protag carry out, whether it’s a return to an old job or new.

Do you prefer a linear, determined story or player-choice?

How do you manage party members? Do you try to rotate them all out to give each time, or do you prefer to stick to a main team?

Do you have any preference between more Fantasy/historical, Sci-Fi, or contemporary JRPGs?

And mentioning super arrangements, I’d be remiss not to just say all of Zemurian Grand Odyssey! Especially Spiral of Erebos, Blue Destination, and Overdosing Heavenly Bliss.

In no particular order, and this list isn’t definitive:

The Paradise Lost of Norman
Style, When You Stick to It
Lacrimosa of Dana
Solid State Shard Blow
To the Future

Honorable mentions: various super arrangements, such as Silver Will, the Enforcers, and Sunshine Coastline!

Laura and Fie… spells (insert good unique joke here)!

It’s great to see how close they are after getting over their differences and they both work well together!

Rixia and Ilya’s certainly not bad at all either, & maybe Judith and Nina or Alisa and Ferris (rivalry parings are nice).

If only the other member of the cooking club weren’t Millium…

And thanks, I think both my exams today went well!

I feel I’m probably forgetting various canon cooking scenes, but making my best approximations: Among all, Sharon.

Among main members, maybe Tita? I don’t recall any reference to her cooking in Sky, but then I don’t know any of the little details of Sky. However, in CS3 she’s in the cooking club!

Good luck with your exam,

Who do you think is the best cook among playable characters in Trails?

Thanks for eliminating Adol and making me think about it…

Karja, I think—it must’ve been long enough to cast aside recency bias. She’s badass and I love her development as the game progresses. There’re some great outfit and character designs in Ys X, including her!

Duvalie the Swift! Digging into her motivations and devotion to her master and her exploration of her path forward was great! And of course, she’s cute, hilarious, and I love tsunderes—I also have a sweet spot for knights.

It’s kind of crazy to think that three members of the SSS only came to Crossbell shortly before the game starts + Rixia’s move right as it starts, and they all feel so strongly for this State. It’s a very touching story with how closely tied they all are to their home.

Covered across three of my top four games, interrupted only by Daybreak, it has to be From Zero to Azure (into Reverie); the SSS is a great, tight-knit team and the story of how many of them find a new home in Crossbell and fight for it to its sweet conclusion is great.
Trails to Azure’s fin screen; Lloyd, Elie, KeA, Shizuka, Fran, Rixia, Noel, Sonia, Sergei, Grace, Dudley, and Cecile “Trails from Zero to Azure has now reached its conclusion. To be continued… in another land.”

Edwin, please chill

Edwin (whose name has vanished) trying to fit a long message in one line. Estelle and Joshua wearing swimsuits and Kloe Edwin: There's always an unfortunate overlap between the drawbridge timing and an airship departure at this time of day.
