@darius Just finished that Nielsen quest! Had a lucky guess on the first question, I didn’t remember that there was a ‘renaissance’ after the War of the Lions 😅

@danbruno ha, that was definitely the only one of the quiz quests that I got completely right. So Nielsen: Anguis, right? Or maybe a Dominion?

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius He definitely seems like someone! Interesting that he showed up in the last game in every arc…

Do the people inside Ouroboros know who all the Anguis are? Or the other Church bigshots know who all the Dominions are? I would have expected Duvalie/Gaius to clock him if so…maybe they don't though?

Darius Kazemi replied to Dan

@danbruno we know less about the church than about ourobouros but in the case of the latter I'm pretty sure not everyone has seen everyone. Like they all gather in the celestial globe and have the option to be anonymous and I think many of them just retain anonymity. Like, Campanella does not actually see anyone in Star Door 14. I think Anguis identity is on a need to know basis even for other Anguis (otherwise vita would've ratted them out I think)

Darius Kazemi replied to Darius

@danbruno and not that this necessarily confirms anything but the JP voice actor for Nielsen in 3rd is apparently the same voice actor for the first Anguis (and also, uh, Tita's dad)

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius Ooh yeah that makes sense. In CS2 Sharon says something like "your number doesn't have anything to do with your combat prowess, but in McBurn's case he's No. 1 and actually does happen to be the strongest," which I was thinking implies that she knows who everyone is—but she's presumably only talking about Enforcers, not Anguis.

Really any kind of amiable traveling fellow who says hey to the protagonists every so often should immediately raise their suspicions, haha

Darius Kazemi replied to Dan

@danbruno yeah I think all the enforcers are known to each other (even if it's not their full identity, a la Bleublanc)

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius Speaking of which…Bleublanc doing something useful for a change was a pretty great twist. Ha HA!

Darius Kazemi replied to Dan

@danbruno he didn't even leave a bunch of baroque clues lying around, amazing

Darius Kazemi replied to Darius

@danbruno also I just went back and read what scant 1st Anguis dialog we have and I think Nielsen is a good personality match!

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius Seems like a strong theory to me! Excited for the boss battle against him where your party is Nial, Dorothy, Grace and Vivi hahah

Darius Kazemi replied to Dan

@danbruno with Peter as your KeA-esque mascot

Darius Kazemi replied to Darius

@danbruno btw did you see that Dec 17 is a big product announcement day for Falcom's 40th anniversary? I think they even confirmed they are going to announce the next Trails game

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius I saw! Man, I wish there were some way to get us a little closer to the Japanese release schedule…I know the loc process must be impossibly long, and I hear Falcom often doesn't even turn their attention to overseas publishing until the game is out, but it's rough in a world where so many games get simultaneous worldwide releases

There's still noise about them localizing Crossbell too, maybe that's in the cards!

Darius Kazemi replied to Dan

@danbruno right, there's a Chinese and Japanese Switch release of crossbell coming, yeah? Also I still need to actually finish Ao, I just ended up reading a detailed summary before CS4. I'm also considering somehow getting my hands on the Japanese Hajimari and trying out the ps4 remote play spreadsheet app thing...

Dan Bruno replied to Darius

@darius Yeah the spreadsheet thing looks super impressive! I'll probably wait a little bit to see if an official release is forthcoming but if seems like it's not I'll do the same. If you play Japanese Hajimari, maybe the new Geofront fan translation of Ao will be done by the time you're finished 😛 Nonstop Trails
