I had forgotten that asking Towa to dance just completely breaks her brain for a moment. Like all the girls are surprised but Towa just completely bluescreens for a moment.
ToCS1 Spoilers: My personal favorite easter egg/line of his was, considering that he's the one playing blade all the time, "Did you think I wouldn't have a trump card to play?" The moments of writing brilliance like that in this game are really special.
The reason the original script doesn't have voices for Rean is that his voice actor actually is famous on Japan, the guy did the voices of a lot of anime characters so he is pretty well known. To cut the costs they made only the main cutscenes to have his voice. Anyways, this continues on all of the four games in Japanese anyways.
Going back and watching these now that I'm about 50 hours into the second game. The scene with Crow is just...just heartbreaking considering everything that comes after.
@@masterchiefpettyofficerspa3646 I'm not gonna spoil anything beyond: He's not really. He's a pretty nuanced character and has reasons for doing what he's doing. I'm on the final dungeon but 10/10. It's joining P5R at the top of my JRPG list.

From the Kiseki wiki: Rean has become known as the Impregnable Brother (鉄壁の兄) in the Hyarms family for blocking Patrick T. Hyarms's advances on Rean's sister, Elise Schwarzer.
I don't really see the problem with Patrick. He seems like an okay guy especially towards the end of the Chapter. So he insulted Rean that one time and always with the lil snide quips but dude is harmless and I don't think he would do anything malicious towards Elise
@@MarioSonicDKPokeFAN It's more that Rean is the casual but actually overly protective type. He gives off the impression that he would be cool with you dating his sister but actually try and pull anything and he will cut your balls off.
Its so very odd to look back on game 1 like this. Yet, this foreshadowed many things. Reans obliviousness, his fondness for doling out headpats, and being at odds with Elise and her choice of dance partners. (Poor Patrick, that roast by his butler was brutal). I also wasn't aware that Sara briefly touched on North Ambria. And of course, the begrudging respect that Machias and Jusis bear toward each other.
It should be "Partners in crime are supposed to be able to turn from dangerous to friendly TO DANGEROUS in the blink of an eye, right?" lol I had to do it
So: Towa: Nothing to lose and 100% cute (and could win Angelica with smart strategies) Elise: Nothing to lose (the easy choice) Sara: Nothing to lose but a lot of experience to win *wink* Emma: Don't know if Vita really care (and SPOIL you got a loli-cat in bonus SPOIL) Fie: Risk to fight (or try to survive) the strongest Jeagers corps, worth it Laura: Possibility of a death battle against the radiant Blademaster, worth it or not? It's up to you Alisa: Nothing to lose (and you got the best Maid ever) Alfin: Well you win in social status Make your choice (personally 1 Fie. 2 Towa. 3 ..don't know, Emma probably? or Laura? i don't really care)

@@guifire9747 I think it basically progressed as a troll crush (just for Elise) in CS1, but she really fell for him hard in the ship rescue in CS2. And Millium has Jusis already so lol.
Wait, is Millium a possible romance?? Oo i watch her ending moment in CSII (in the dormitory, class...), but i saw that as a big brother/little sister relationship like all their interaction, not a romance Oo
I swear Falcom doesn’t even attempt to hide who the main girl is lol. With Elie in Azure as Alisa in this game, their scenes are so much more mutually romantic and get actual build-up through the main story. Sometimes I think the games would be a lot better if they stopped trying to be Persona-lite and just had a defined romance like in the Sky trilogy.
I agree with most of that, but if you want the "canon" relationship, making it an in-game choice doesn't inherently take anything away from it. What's the point in trying to hide the main/default love interest if there's going to be one? I'd much rather they water down the scenes with Alisa (especially the trap door incident) and go all in on allowing the player to choose than throw that out and make it so that Rean is inevitably paired with the first girl he runs into on campus. Taking the choice away makes it less fun for the people who like other characters a lot (or dislike Alisa). I personally went for Laura because she's my favorite of the possible pairings, and taking the choice away means I miss out on her asking Rean to dance first. That was the most memorable part of the entire school festival for me because of how much I hate the "guy asks girl" tradition (and the fact that it's so within her character to do so and neither Alisa nor Emma would ever have the guts to do it). And, of course, Rean comes in clutch with the buzzkill: "You and I have something even closer than the rest of our classmates: *swordsmanship* ." What's even funnier to me is that Laura's farewell ironically might be the most romantic out of all of them. But then again, I'm not a romance guy, so I don't think about it too hard. That actually helped me relate to Rean throughout most of the game even though it seems like he's mostly just oblivious as opposed to disinterested. I kind of wish he wouldn't have broken character with Alisa in the dance scene, though. If I had the chance to pick no one in my first playthrough, I would have been seriously temped to. I actually _did_ pick no one for the bike ride, but of course they make you ride with Crow in that case, so I reset and picked someone else. 😂
Bonding points is curious mechanic for this game. I like and hate a lot because this show you don't have time for everyone, you need to choose wisely with who you spend your time. (Loading last save ruins the experience before anyone comments that)
Its not just that it makes you choose but also that most choices just aren't interesting. Stuff like "machias likes coffee" isn't really worth an optional bonding event and couldve easily just fit in the story as an actual conversation piece between multiple characters. A lot of them could also just be straight up side quests instead of the actual side quests the game has. Cs1 bonding is still relatively inoffensive but it really drags down future games once characters become more and more irrelevant to the plot.
Coming back to this after playing through the entire series is just nuts...the nostalgia I feel is kind of indescribable. Also, it's interesting to hear a subtleties of more teenage-sounding voices compared to the adult ones in the third and fourth games.
I have reach 5 heart with alisa and Laura yet I can’t dance with them? (Do I have to win the ticket event maybe?) Here’s my theory, I’ve got Emma, alisa, Laura, fie all to lv 5 max link and spend 1 ticket on each. I’ve won the game (including just going to the tea house and choosing relationship) on Emma and fie and I can bond with them. I’ve lost the mini game with Laura, and alisa so no bonding. For the flower garden walk, I choose towa, I’m almost positive I didn’t miss any other bonding events with her so I’m going to assume that that event is automatically a failure (I’ll different events in NG+)
Nah, on top of having full link, you have to either view a character’s last bonding event, spend two tickets on them, or take the trip to Heimdallr with them
I played the video without sound. Sadly no Japanese dub. Thank you so much anyway. I didn't have to waste several hours to view all their dance routes.
So, console 30 fps version is the same as on pc, huh. I never really seen the difference between 30 and 60, but Cold Steel's 30 fps literally make me nausious.

I have to say it's really nice that Xseed added voice over for Rean in these, it was pretty jaring before.

It helps that he super loved this job. His extra voice lines he made on his own are fantastic too.
