I just started rean's game and I'm not sure about some of the new mechanics. how does the bonding point thing work? do I need to plan everything out in advance so I don't accidentally end up going on a date with gaius because I talked to him too much? should I prioritize non-class vii characters like towa over party members?

also is there a way to fix the screen tearing I'm getting? I tried full screen and windowed mode and I have vsync enabled in the launcher. why are the mouse controls so shit compared to estelle's game?

you go and spend bonding points on whoever you want to get scenes with them and raise you link exp which gives you things like extra attacks, finishing blows and the such in combat, think of it as a simplified persona system,

>do I need to plan everything out in advance so I don't accidentally end up going on a date with gaius because I talked to him too much
not really there's a dance at the school festival near the end of the game which gives you a little romance scene but you can pick who you want to dance with, your choices for it are based on if you have a level 5 link it's actually lower for towa and sara but their link values are hidden with them and either go to their chapter 6 bonding event, take them to town with you during the festival preparation or spend at least two festival minigame tickets on them. So no real need to plan carefully just go to whatever girl you likes events

>I tried full screen and windowed mode and I have vsync enabled in the launcher. why are the mouse controls so shit compared to estelle's game?
works on my machine, also just use a controller retard there's even ps3/4 button mapping available in config

Is there any goods doujins of Trail of cold steel ?

not really there's very few doujins of cold steel in general and out of those most are by a single artist (shikei) and only 2 of those have been translated (a sara one and a sharon one)

so should I pick towa and sara over the other girls if I want to level their links? also what is unblanace in combat? I can't find it in the notes section but a bunch of moves reference it.

>Find some good artwork of a bunch of characters
>Final panel for all of them inexplicably has to be scat

Yes i already see these ones. We need need to have more of this.

If you want to have a dance with one of them at the end then sure, basically just spend your bonds on whoever you like and want to spend time/want to make raens waifu or who you plan to use a ton in combat if you want to power game it but that's really not necessary at all

As for unbalance each characters weapon has an attack type attacking with a weapon that an enemy is weak to gives an enemy unbalance let's whoever you're linked with do a follow up attack, there should be a full combat mechanic guide buried somewhere in the notebook thing

I thought from the thumbnail the girl in the back is holding a filled condom but she's not and now I'm disappointed.
Fuck you.

Sara is a pure cake, she gets embarrassed by hugging, she's never even touched a dick

>why are the mouse controls so shit compared to estelle's game?
Because it was a console game first and foremost? Look on the bright side, though. The PC version doesn't have the abysmal framerate and load times that the PS3 and Vita versions.

Temper you expectations, user. Cold Steel isn't as good as Trails in the Sky.

>Cold Steel isn't as good as Trails in the Sky.
It's actually a million times better desu

so it's part of the link attack mechanic? how do orbments work now? there's still lines but it doesn't seem like the arts you can use is based on them anymore.

>she's never even touched a dick
Except mine.
Also I touched her's.

>worse cast
>worse setting
>worse pacing
>worse main character
>worse combat balancing

The sheer number of steps back this sub-series took from Crossbell is embarrassing. Falcom fucked up hard.

>why are the mouse controls so shit compared to estelle's game?
Trails in the Sky released as a PC game.
Trails of Cold Steel released as a console game.

You get arts from your master quartz as well other than those you still need them for arts

(you)

?? He literally hasn't said a single thing that isnt true. Sen 1 and 2 are the worst of the 3 arcs, by a huge margin at that.

Remember, user. We love you way more than the Erebonians.

Except it's not true, class vii is easily the best cast

...at being shit.

XD
