Me, playing Clair Obscur

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak What a wonderful game. I absolutely loathed my time with Reverie, so I put off Daybreak for a long while, and even then burned out on it until coming back for a second swing at it. This is what I needed--and the franchise as a whole--after the 1-2 of CS4 and Reverie.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Absolute. Fucking. Banger!

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Oh, so this is the horrific thing being flashed to us for only the barest of moments throughout the whole game... Coulda done without ever seeing it in full, but we all know Trails must traumatize us all repeatedly and ruthlessly.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Whoa boy, that final Melchior fight was an absolute beast. Most I've felt challenged by a fight in a long while.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Man, Trails certainly knows how to do a finale. They're always great, but good lord are they long.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak OH GOD NO! STOP! DO NOT REMIND ME ABOUT START DOOR 15! STOP IT NOW!

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Oh god, that last Elain/Van Connection segment nearly brought me to tears.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Dying at this exchange

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Absolutely hilarious

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Chapter 5 done! Uh, I know Trails always calls the finale the finale, but good lord did that feel like a finale, especially with the nature of the dungeon crawling. Lots of great character moments, but man, I am dying to know the full details of Van's backstory already!

Share the last 4 games you've played and expose your gaming habits!

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak It really is impressive how much better the action cutscenes in Daybreak are compared to the Cold Steel games. Incredible step up form Falcom there. Though I do have a soft spot for how kinetic they made the Sky/Crossbell action cutscenes. They were so fun to watch.

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak That scene between Van and Elaine was very nice, but damn it, I can't believe they've kept the bulk of Van's backstory unexplained this long. Thought I was gonna finally get that sweet, sweet trauma dump. Can't be much longer now, can it?

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Thank Aidios that Rixia is as strong as she is, because otherwise the back pain that girl would be dealing with... I swear, they get bigger every time she appears on screen.

#SlasherPlaysdaybreak Uh... This seems... concerning, especially considering wasn't that a whole thing Weissman was doing back in Sky FC/SC? Would really have hoped everyone would realize they should just... not follow on from that guy's research?

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak No additional commentary needed

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak I'd like to pretend it was a hard choice, but it wasn't. Guess I should probably save a copy of that Shizuna supremacy meme somewhere, eh?

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Huh, well, that's certainly a choice to name the secret church unit after Judas himself... I'm sure nothing will ever come of that...

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Please be Sara please be Sara please be Sara please be Sara

#SlasherPlaysDaybreak Compared to some other intermissions in the franchise, wasn't quite as OMGWTF as I was expecting. That said, uh, Shizuna is awesome, glad Judith is finally on the team (God I love her design and English VA), and that wham close to the chapter is, well, a hell of a wham moment.
