This ending is a masterclass in how you end an arc. It's not exactly "over" but at the same time you can breathe. It makes you want more but doesn't grab you by the neck.
yeah a lot of my friend took a break after coldsteel 2 cause it was a good stopping point for a break for most for me not so much as I want to know more but yeah
The way this game handles it's character development(s) is SO good, I feel emotional when it was their last day, I dont want it to end. +1 to you falcom
You know something is sad when Millium start to cry , all the class just hold their sadness in them, Milium make all of them break at the same time :'(
I dont play trails games just for the story which is among my favorites ever, I play it for the gameplay. I never once complained about this game being too long because I enjoyed playing it and knew finishing meant years until the next entry. I didnt want it to end.
8:38 just realized 2d art wise, crow and rean together like this make it looks like they're reaching out for each other's hand in this 😂 love this rivalary
Theres actually an easier method is to have 2-3 phantasmal characters (personally i like vita and altina) and have rean perform Chrono Looping (deus gem/gale ex(or normal attack)/chronoburst/thors quartz/with EP reducers on quartz) and while he's looping every time a phastmal char goes to 100cp (since they get 10 per character action hence why you chrono loop with rean) you perform a break, so the only character toact is Rean and no dmg, no items, only 1 character turn
I don't care if this boss was a palette swap of the final boss of CS1, if I was to be honest I think it is quite fitting that way. This was how it all began with them so this was how it should end. The time they were forced to part to the time to where they decided to part ways to pursue their own dreams and friends in some cases...looking at you Emma, my favorite girl. It was a fitting end to Class VII. This chapter was all about the end of their year there along with their time together so of course they would get really emotional at the end after having their victory. Who cares if there wasn't a physical reward for beating it like the divine knights? This was their last battle together, the last time they would be able to be together like this. As a person who felt very similarly in both high school and college, I understand how they felt. That is why I had to see it through to the end.
I didn't have the patience to level up my characters to defeat this boss just to see an extra 15 minutes of scenes, so thanks! Millium is definitely one of my favorite character. Also, that ending song is super beautiful. Proves that you don't need a high budget AAA game to make a good video game music.
To beat this boss I just super buffed Laura with Taurus and literally everything that boosted her str stat. Then I just force fed her z powders and spammed radiant lion. It was hitting for 100k plus every time. Made the last boss really easy. Though I was only playing on normal.
I was able to have her break 200k on her S-Craft through the game without Taurus even. Now, granted that involved the Domination Quartz, and Rean using Motivate, but still, lol.
Seriously... Just spam zeram capsule from battle chests like 20 or more (around 10 if you equip at least one character with strongest weapon and taorous orb... Idk how to spell it i forgot) And if you can survive throughout everything until this last one, then go for dlc menu for quick finish...
They are not here seeking some sort of reward. They are not here to find some hidden purpose. Overcoming this trial shall be a fitting end to their time together as Class Ⅶ…
Funnily enough the rank above intermediate is divine blade according to trails of cold steel 4, so its really not that bad. Also Spoiler: Rean actually does become a(the) Divine Blade (of Steel) at the end of 4 meaning hes a master of the school and could take his own deciples.
@@sothe0539 doesn't it go novice, Intermediate, adept, then divine blade Adept would be the stage when the student learns all their master has to teach before challenging a Divine Blade to a duel
Same it's so stressful waiting. Can't belive they waited so long to give us in the west this masterpiece series. Hopefully cs4 gets a release date not to far in future.
I played CS2 a month after I played Tokyo Xanadu and at that point I couldn't tell the difference other than the combat system. And I didn't liked TX that much.
After I finished the finale i got totally burned out to play this game (jrpg burnout) because I sort of rushed the final dungeon. And realizing that this is just a filler after the finale I totally lose the will to play any further and just watched this playthrough instead of wasting hours with the same dungeon run as the last one.
@@pugachan9928 I feel like I'm in a minority in that I enjoyed the epilogues. yeah, it's all drawn out, but it's character fluff. I enjoy seeing the characters interact both in combat and in the world. :) To each their own
Same here. The crossbell episode was a nice bonus, but the epilogue was just the developers refusing to end the game, like it was really necessary to add a "normal day in TOCS1"? Or a badly designed auto-generated dungeon? The game overall was great and long, there was no need for any of that.
For all the complaints/crow related comments, I don't think falcom handled the epilogue too well per say; however I think it's very critical plot wise and still provides a lot of entertainment (with the mirrors, it probably is to reward for players storming through the reverie corridor)
I was excited to face a brand new foe at the end of the final dungeon. When Loa Luciferia rose from the floor, my excitement diminished. Surely they could have given us a final boss that wasn't just a more powerful palette swap of a previous boss. Not to mention as Luciferia itself stated, defeating it would yield no reward, which made me think, ".........So Loa Luciferia doesn't NEED to be dealt with???" It also gave me the same feeling that Necron from FFIX did.
I think you missed the point of this boss. He says there is no reward from beating him - yet Rean says otherwise. This was to be be final hurrah for class VII before they all go their separate ways. This was the final chance for them. To fight alongside their friends in the place where it all began - bring them full circle. Rewards don't need to be physical, they can be emotional - and for class seven to finish their days at Thors shoulder to shoulder with me another was the best possible reward they could've hoped for. At least that's what I took from it.
@@elock1277 It'd be interesting if the reason why the Gnomes were able to keep him as a pawn all throughout CSIII was due to the wound he got from the Vermillion Apocalypse. I mean, Angelica only got shot in the leg, and the mask had a small effect on her... Victor had his arm blown off, yet served as a herald for the rivalries. So, what effect would it have on an immortal?

@@getcrunk117 For damage, you want Mars, strength 3, strength 2, Seriyuu, Carnage, (Rean needs two shadow quartz so focus on speed) and Suzaku, and Domination.

@@lordpaulphilippfernandez9904 good an auto-generated dungeon? With dump paths that leads to nowhere? With no puzzles or even activators of any kind? With chest containing the same rewards you earned in other dungeons? Dude come on.
There is an equip able item that you can buy from the rest zone in the base camp that cost 2000000 Mira each. You put it on a party member and they turn into a character from the previous chapters. I'm a little hazy on the names other than the ones with more screen time. They are Crow, Vita, Black Rabbit, Tonfah dude from the Crossbell dungeon, and I think his female companion. The item only works in the last dungeon of the game.
Lets see, this occurs on the final day of the school year for class 7 and they all go their seperate ways for the various things they wish to do with their lives. Sara specifically returns to being a bracer after class 7's graduation.
First and foremost, the class had served its purpose. Olivert wanted the members of Class VII to learn how to think and act for themselves - unbiased and unprejudiced - as they solve whatever crisis in the Empire. Seeing as they managed to stop a civil war, on top of everything they did in CS1, Class VII had gained plenty of experience. There was nothing else for them to learn. Secondly, Olivert was losing his influence as Osborne grew in power. He no longer had control over the academy board members. It was better to let Class VII graduate early than to let Osborne use its members like he used Rean (Osborne made Rean a national hero, thus forcing him to obey imperial orders).

I did something similar in hard mode except using the Vita item's aria of the abyss again and again.
Watching that for the first time whilst saying that Millium was my favourite character all the way through really hit me hard.
Using rean and crow in link in this fight is a MUST. Not for the playstile o anything, but for the feel
