Major changes are:
>Improved the performance of the Depth of Field implementation, especially with MSAA. (basic DoF should be improved by around 10% with 4xMSAA, high quality DoF should be improved by up to a factor of 3)
>Fix repeated keypresses at high (unlocked) framerates. Input should now behave as expected up to at least 250 FPS.
>Added Autosaves. The autosave interval can be configured in the launcher. (these are independent of manual saves)

Can we have a Cold Steel for based Durante?

i have just finish it and it's so much worse than Zero, hell even TitS which i'm not a fan, is way more enjoyable. You spend nearly the entire game hearing about shit going down on Crossbell while barely anything happens and when it does the game ends with a RNG based boss? really? please someone tell me 2 is actually good and pays off, that character are better developed there and the story is not a snooze fest.

It is nice that they keep on updating the game. I am around 40 hours into the game and so far i have only good things to say about the port.

I like the game quite a bit so far however i think that i will try to slow down a bit so that i don't burn myself out. The pace can be a bit slow at times, sure a lot of it is world and character building but at times i find myself doing side missions that don't really add much to the game.

The turbo button is really a god send and i have a hard time seeing myself clearing those dungeons with all that trash mob without it.

Fucking this. It's kinda hard to do the whole "not all nobles are pieces of shit" when all the nobles you do meet are pieces of shit.
Still, Rean being played the whole time and the epilogue are why I like CS2 a lot.

Sounds like it's your first Kiseki game, in which case stop posting now

Yeah you cut it pretty close in that fight on nightmare, and that's assuming you make no mistakes at all. Maybe even a little luck based too because a couple of his crafts hurt.

First half is getting the team back together? seriously? what the fuck. It's not a bad game but it is a bad trails game, for example, FC and Zero both led to a bigger story but still have their own complete arc, FC has the Military issue and Zero the political/cult problem while CS has what? there is no CS1 self contained story and almost everything is quite pointless save for the last chapter and a few things here and there, if at least the characters were well developed but even that is quite shallow and cliché, Rean as barely any development at all. Not a bad game but a huge disappointment compared to Zero.
>>
>>387157697
It's a great game for a first comer to the series, though.
>>
>>387157565
Cold Steel does not do a good job of showing any side doing anything competently
I played both games a couple a months ago and 99% of nobles are portrayed as blithering retards or plain assholes
They just completely failed to show a believable class struggle, a problem compounded by CS2's portrayal of literally everyone as a blithering retard whenever they're on-screen
>>
>>387155379
should I wait for cs2 on pc or just grab the ps3 version? is the game bearable without turbo button?
>>
>>387156450
>Side missions that don't really add much to the game
Look, I'll give Falcom flak for a lot of shit in Cold Steel, but I won't ever shit on their ability to make the world feel like it's a living, breathing place. For all of its shortcomings, the side shit that "adds nothing to the game" actually subtly adds a fucking ton, and it continues to call back to those small details over the course of each game.
>>
>>387158014
If he's looking for decent writing and worldbuilding it's actually the worst entry to the series and that's pretty much all the series is for seeing as everything before Cold Steel isn't very good in the gameplay department and even Cold Steel doesn't deserve much praise for its combat
>>
>>387158050
Remember the Nord Highlands from 1?
It's twice the size now.
>>
>>387158050
>is the game bearable without turbo button

Nord Highland is way bigger.
>>
>>387158050
Remember the northen highlands? It's even bigger in CS2, that's where you will miss the turbo button the most. There's also no undub for it in case you prefer the Japanese voices. It made a lot of difference for me, characters like Millium that I used to hate are actually cute in Japanese, but that's up to personal preference.
>>
>>387158260
>>387158256
holy fukc
>>
>>387157895
Zero was the best self-contained game in the series
>>
>>387158402
They're somewhat spooking you since there's a fast travel button now but it still takes a bit to comb the highlands for loot
>>
>>387157895
>there is no CS1 self contained story and almost everything is quite pointless
That could have been fine if they'd actually done a good job building Erebonia rather than the half-assed mess we got in CS1. Rean has zero legitimate development in 1 and his "development" (if you can even call it that) hinges on the most laughably bad backstory they could have come up with.
There's just so much bad writing and wasted potential in the Erebonia arc I can't help but get irrationally mad sometimes.

>>387158125
>the side shit that "adds nothing to the game" actually subtly adds a fucking ton
It really doesn't do that in Cold Steel
I'll give you that the NPC side stories are the most interesting part of both CS and CS2 but it really doesn't make up for the fact that Erebonia is now as generic as every fantasy LN setting
>>
>>387158518
There's like 4 treasure chests per map, it really doesn't take that long. I'd still never recommend the game on PS3 over PC or at all but the Nord Highlands is not why you should drop it
>>
>>387157895
>"It's not a bad game, but it's a bad *series* game" argument
It's not even a bad Trails game. The gameplay is a refined version of what we've seen up to this point and the writing and world building are still par for the series. The biggest failing in CS is its characters. But that happens to be such a massive failing that it overshadows what's actually good about this arc.
>>
>>387157895
Honestly CSI-II should have been one game. They padded and dragged them for too long with unnecessary drivel and a bloated cast.
>>
>>387158256
And has fast travel.
>>
>>387158826
Well it is mostly a character driven series and CS did it the weakest so of course it's the shittiest in the series so far
>>
>>387158882
CS1 and CS2 were actually meant to be one game originally. Falcom has an extremely bad habit of overestimating themselves. Zero/Azure were meant to be one game, FC and SC were meant to be one game. Even LoH 1&2 were meant to be one game.
>>
>>387158906
not useful for side quests
>>
>>387159047
You forgot Ys 1 and 2.
>>
>>387159047
FC does have shit pacing but I still don't think it'd work as one game with SC. Zero/Azure were definitely fine on their own and I'm glad they weren't one.
>>
>>387159017
Looking at it objectively, the character depth in the Sky arc which everyone, myself included, loves, isn't really that much deeper than what's seen in CS. However, the Sky cast has a superior level of charm and quirks compared to CS, and there's also the fact that Rean is a Gary Stu self insert with muh troubled past and edgelord powers, while Estelle and even Joshua were both believable characters in context, I'll concede to that.
>>
>>387159047
FC and SC work as separate games
CS1 and 2 just desperately needed an editor for script
Someone with the balls to tell Falcom's team of buffoons that Rean needs a different origin for his special snowflake powers or that they should not exist preferably, that half the cast is completely unnecessary and works better as side characters, that the highschool setting is overdone trash and will limit them heavily, that Crow being C is laughably obvious and so on and so forth

Eh? You can use fast travel to find the foal for the 3rd time. You can use fast travel to collect the books. What can't you do? Collect chests and teleport to the quest monster? You need to do it two or three times total.

>>387159507
I don't know why I even bother trying to have a discussion with other fans of this series on /v/. I forget how prone to sperging the fuck out everyone here is sometimes.
>>
>>387158570
>Rean has zero legitimate development in 1
i heard the most development he gets was cut off and sold together with special edition as a Drama-CD, as if selling shining poms was not not bad enough, i fear Trails is becoming the news Tales of.

>>387159047
>Zero/Azure were meant to be one game
that is Bullshit, Zero has no massive cliffhanger unlike CS.

>>387158826
>it's not even a bad Trails game
it is, i don't like FC/SC unlike >>387159320 mostly because of the main characters but they are both good jRPGs with a awesome world building and lore/backstory that keeps me entertained, but CS is no much better than a shounen anime and the lore gets retarded by the minute. I still hopeful 2 has some pays off.
>>
>>387159858
>I don't know why I bother trying to have a discussion with other fans of this series on /v/. I forget how prone I am to using words I don't understand.

You wanna have a discussion? Start by not using buzzwords or terms as general and meaningless as 'objective', especially when talking about writing.
>>
>>387159320
Sky has great atmosphere and mc. It's still full of tropes and shoves plenty of development only in the 3rd game's doors though. I like it way more than CS but it's pretty overrated by its fans.
>>
>>387159954
To be fair, the lack of a cliffhanger doesn't necessarily mean they weren't planned as one game. Maybe they just managed to write a decent ending despite the lack of forethought.
>>
>>387159954
CS2 is inherently better just by dropping the high school setting. I see all the PC players saying it's comfy, and I understand that, but I just think it's kind of trite for this series in particular.
>>
>>387160168
It's trite for every series that isn't necessarily and specifically about high schoolers.
>>
>>387160345
I did like the idea of it being a military academy at least. I just wish that aspect of it was actually more prominent than the typical day to day school thing.

It doesn't matter. It's still a pretty self-contained story that doesn't overstay its welcome. And Ao is a full game. You could trim it down but there's still too much shit happening.

Yes, dropping the restriction of school and field studies to allow the series to seat itself nicely back into the adventurous feeling the rest of the series has is a good thing.
>>
>>387160459
It's ok. Daddy Osborne took care of that for Sen 3.
>>
>>387160168
>CS2 is inherently better just by dropping the high school setting
The MILITARY school setting could work wonders to CS if properly executed, but the academy would have to be tough as nails with a badass MILITARY teachers without any of the happy go lucky high school setting we get in CS and the Noble vs Commoner feud would have to be WAY more intense, amidst your school days and training you could see or heard by radio the inevitability of war and how you and friends would probably fight and die, so the development would be they learning to deal with it, be it accepting or refusing to fight for the nobility mixed with their personal problems, that would add a lot to the story. Instead we get a anime high school posing as Military.

There is no meme, Zero/Ao are the best Kiseki games, to me that is. Great mature political/Religion story, tons of lore, likable cast, great OST, Good gameplay and a lot of shit happens. If was not for Zero/Ao i would deem the series ok-ish at best based on FC/SC and 3rd.

there are some "factions" between the fans, the "FC/SC are the only good games and the rest is shit", the "Zero/Ao are great and the rest is shit", the "CS is great and the rest is old shit", mine is the " Zero/Ao are great, FC/SC/3rd is good and CS is disappointing".

How have we actually fallen to the point where /v/ unironically uses "it works on my machine"?

But yeah anon, you're right. The game is perfectly working on all machines under all scenarios at all resolutions, settings, and fps because three anons said they don't have issues. Those crashes that used to happen during the start of the Radiant Blademaster duel and were fixed? Just a flight of the imagination. Didn't happen at all. Getting soft locks or crashes during certain scenes if you're playing past 120 fps which Durante is currently trying to fix? Just a meme bro.

>>387163185
We'll have to see how it holds up. We do know that the main branch went full military after Cedric enrolled, and that the Reeves branch only has three classes which are military focused, although considering Rean is trying to preserve old Thors in the new school there will probably be attempts of bringing back old Thors tomfoolery or w/e on Rean's end.

personally, I think Cold Steel is two steps forward, two steps back. Combat in general is a lot more fun in Cold Steel, and the worldbuilding is better than ever. But I feel like the characters are a bit weaker, as is the orbment system. Rean is pretty cool but he feels a bit like Kevin but not as good. I feel like Class VII as a whole is cool but not all of them get enough development which I hope at least gets partially fixed in Sen 3. I also feel like waifu options were a mistake. I'll sperg out over Fie and Alfin any day of the week but I think for the best way to do the story there should have been only one heroine/romance and it should have been Emma. I also miss the Sora/Crossbell way of doing orbments. You had to put some real thought into your setups, especially for arts users. Cold Steel is more or less just a slightly better materia system.
>>387169981
I think it's worth full price, but I didn't know it til I played it so I know where that anon's coming from. That's why I bought it for a friend.
>>
>>387170171
The Orbment system in CS sucks. Is there even a point to having lines? I certainly haven't seen one. It really should have had a system like Sky did.
>>
>>387170171
I haven't even finished CS, I was at chapter 4 but liked it so much that I decided to give a try to TiTS

now im at SC and there's clearly a love story, does CS gets the same love story? far as I know the story really pairs Rean with Alisa, but I don't know if there's a canon waifu, like Estelle and Joshua

also, Kevin looks fun as fuck, can't wait to play the 3rd
>>
>>387170460
Lines are for more EP and that way you can immediately see who should get the mage role. Also you can stuck more status effects if there's more branches. It's still a very dumbed down system for people who couldn't count.
>>
>>387170460
Less lines = more debuff quartz, more lines = more EP. Pretty much useless, yeah.

>>387170745
The thing is, you don't even need to count, the game does it itself.
>>
>>387170678
Only sky was firm with its canon. Alisa is the designated main girl but Rean can still pick one of the others. There's no clear love story and development on that front.
>>

Cold Steel lets you pick a waifu while pushing Alisa a good bit more than other girls, but not enough to really call it a romance. It honestly hurts the experience as much as I love some of those girls. Estelle and Joshua are the most heartwarming romance in video games and cold steel really doesn't have that. But I made pic related anyway. And yeah, Kevin is undebateably the best MC in the series. I love him so goddamn much.
>>387170460
Like another anon said, Arts users get more EP from longer lines and physical fighters get more flexibility in their auxiliary abilities. I still vastly prefer the incredible amount of customization that Sora and Crossbell offer that Sen doesn't. I'm in the finale of Zero and hearing about how Ao has both MQ and the old system and it makes me nut.

Because trails doesn't sell that great and to play Crossbell you need to play the 3 sky games first unlike CS, also apparently there is only a PC version of Zero and not Ao.
Also they take time to translate, the 3rd released only a few months ago and now we have CS, they need to work on CS2 and then probably CS3.

>>387171306
Because Xseed was already more than half a decade behind when they released Sky. When they localized Cold Steel it was because the PS3 was dying and it was a now or never situation. Sora had PC ports for them to work with, Crossbell only has Zero because Falcom's PC distributor in Japan stopped working with them before Ao. They can't do Zero without Ao, and they can't release a PSP exclusive anymore. Evolution is licensing hell unless NISA did it because NIS is in bed with the company that did Evolution.
Basically, just wait for the fan translations to come out or play with the mediocre EOP options now, because official Crossbell is more or less hopeless.

congratulations on missing the point entirely retard, and missing what you're looking for on top of that. Zemuria has a fuckton of what you call lore, this just shows how uninformed you are and how little you've played. The idea of the worldbuilding is that it feels like an actual world. The NPCs aren't just there so the town square isn't empty, they're there so there are people in the world living normal people lives.

>>387172148
Following those little subplots is what makes the world feel real and gets you invested. CS alone doesn't do it so well because you go between school and new city too quick not to mention the school itself is limiting but Sky and Crossbell had more variety so it felt nice. Loading a clear save and having NPCs recognizing you and quests being acknowledged in the second games also felt nice and contributed to the atmosphere. I think quote a few of people miss it when it's mostly gone from the 3rd for example. And besides even outside of these seemingly mundane things there's plenty of lore talk and important details. It just sucks that CS is the first game for many people and it's very mediocre especially on its own.

What little development Machias gets in CS2 is largely just an expansion of what little development he gets in CS1, and he only even gets that much because he's Jusis's bottom bitch.
>- Sarah's arc only begins in CSII.
If you romanced her in CS1, even if only for the achievement, you can pretty easily infer the only thing you actually learn about her in CS2. Since it doesn't actually go anywhere, this starting point is really all that matters.

What's the best ways to make money in CS? It's a lot harder to keep everyone with upgraded equipment when you don't get Mira for quests like in Sky.

And then you have U-materials on top of all that...

You will be constantly poor in CS if you keep trying to update everyone's weapons, same goes for U-Material, you really can't keep up with those

>>387177306
So just keep people that actually attack updated and forget everyone else?
>>
>>387177102
You can cook superb or unique dishes and sell them, but it's not really worth investing in your team's gear besides Rean. They auto upgrade their stuff anyways so it's not too much of a detriment if you just leave them be.
>>
>>387177645
I just grind them out like any other thing. I usually don't use my support characters so I just put master quartz on those guys that I want leveled.

Play favorites during the old schoolhouse investigation and buy weapons for that chapter specific team. Of course, U-Material upgrading gets out of hand quick so at least have Rean's weapons be the one that keeps getting updated.

It's extremely subtle, but it's hinted at that he has a stigma and ties to the Septian Church.

The loving family he has in was probably meant to show us how his life was near-perfect and CS3 might just take all of that away from him. The magazines also stated that due to "special circumstances" he was the toughest Class VII member to get in touch with compared to the others.

It's not HIS own, that's the point. The SSS, the police, the cgf that didn't go along with the president and various people in crossbell don't agree with these methods. If you play the game and talk to everyone you'll see crossbell is divided in this. Besides even you should be able to understand how wrong it is to work with Ouroboros and go as far as create an artificial septerrion to rewrite reality because you think that's the correct version.. Lloyd and everyone want to fight for their independence properly and together cross the barriers on their own.

may not have been a "church-official" stigma but weissman explicitly stated that it was a product of attempts to emulate the effects of a natural one. that kevin was able to help joshua control it using techniques applicable to his "true" stigma is further evidence that joshua's stigma, while not natural, bore no shortage of similarities to regular stigmata. if it's not a stigma, then it's stigma-adjacent.

This just shows how retarded AO's plot is, the writer forced the president into a retard so its easier for lloyd to make this choice.

He didn't have to put lloyd in jail, he didn't have to enforce curfew with robots and go against police, he didnt have to turn into hitler with evil organizations and shit all of a sudden, because he clearly stands with Crossbell and represents what the citizen wants. He made a right and rational choice.

Its obvious they can't cross the barriers on their own, and they didn't, if it wasn't for KeA, Crossbell is getting rekt in 10 minutes. And lloyd didn't even have a backup plan for this.

It's a man-made stigma. A cheap chinese NES knock-off is still a video game console.
>>
>>387182058
Stigmas are specific. They aren't a console, they're an NES. So all you're doing is calling the Chinese knockoff a legit NES, which is retarded.
>>
>>387181663
It only shows how retarded people like you who skimmed through that spreadshit are. Dieter was being manipulated by Ian and Mariabell who were very clearly in the wrong. However the minute he decided to just appoint himself president with no elections and militarize the state was also when he went against his own justice that he preached in zero. Not to mention for some reason you are ignoring everything else that happened. Relying on giant robots by an evil society and man made gods is totally the right and rational choice to govern a country right? And they literally crossed them dumbass cause the ao epilogue says they got their independence after a while. Hell CS3 seems like it''ll show how too.
>>
>>387182256
Some NES knock-offs literally just play actual NES games, and are essentially a shitty NES.

Joshua had a man-made stigma. It's called a stigma in-game.
>>
>>387182332
Joshua's man-made stigma can't do what actual stigmas do.
>>
>>387182332
Weissmann is the only one that refers to it as a stigma. He's been outed as an idiot with no idea what he's talking about over the course of two separate games. Trusting his judgement over using basic common sense is stupid.

I know he is being manipulated by his daughter, so what? HE isn't wrong about protecting his homeland, and he shouldn't be making those retarded decisions to make him go against to the public all of a sudden despite the game portraits him as a faithful patriots all the way along.

He didn't have to appoint himself to become the baddie president, he can just be it legally. Because Crossbell is under Empire's pressure for years and citizens wants to be independent on their own, and two Empires are already decide to invade them.

Lloyd should have a clear plan or choice to make between losing his homeland and saving KeA. So what choice did lloyd he make? None because the president is already a bad guy whatsoever.
>>
>>387183656
No. You need to realize that characters can be wrong.

>so what? HE isn't wrong about
He is wrong about the way he went about it. He even went against his own self-stated beliefs and that's what the justice debate before you fight him is about. And that's what his character was about. He's a romanticist like Mariabelle says and he started with good intentions but he's not made to be a politician and his ideal wasn't possible so he lost his way and everything went to shit. I'm sorry you wanted him to be the good guy till the end but that wasn't his role. Morality cannot be this relative. And your kind of thinking along with his are dangerous, that's also the point. Even if you mean well you cannot literally terrorize your own people, work with the big antagonist of the series and basically rule the world. Lloyd and everyone else picked the hard way and in the end they won. And that kind of victory is something you can feel proud of cause you didn't base it on lies and using your own people.

The first half of AO is very nice, full of conflict and tension. but I end up disappointed at the halfassed ending.
You could actually see how abrupt everything is revealed.

Even if Dieter is a bad bad guy, he could still stay as a faithful patriot in front of lloyd and the public, instead of telling him his bad bad plan, because all of them have the same dream of the Crossbell independence. Not being upset about the character its the writer made him an idiot.

Would you really disagree if he president begs lloyd to use KeA's power and think tis cheating?

I don't think it was half-assed or abrupt. There was a logical progression even if the ridiculousness was cranked to 11 at the very end. Even the final mastermind can be figured out before you meet him if you look around the city a little. And someone had to play Dieter's role you know? If Dieter wasn't so easily manipulated exactly because he's such a patriot that he had no qualms about dirtying his hands to free Crossbell then they'd have found someone else. And in the end no matter what, he did those very bad things so you can't just let him go. He needs to take proper responsibility and be punished. For what it's worth you can also talk to Dieter again before you head to the final dungeon and he realized he took it too far. And yeah of course it's cheating. Sure I'm happy cause it benefits me but you can't do that. Would you like it if another country decided to alterthings so they were on top instead? There's a reason Erebonia's usually portrayed negatively and people are trying to change it.

He wasn't denying this point, other Kiseki characters are anime types too, they just didn't tick you off as generic; Estelle is a prime tomboy, dummy girl that isn't against girly behavior and tastes, her type just isn't on focus most of the time, and in her case she happens to be the protagonist, which is very unsual for her kind.

I don't know why people can't understand this but x being bad doesn't magically justify y being bad too. We're talking about cs here, if you want to judge sky then let's talk about that instead. But shifting the blame is never a good way to prove yourself right.

It's Japanese, they all are shounen anime cliché because that is the bigger audience in japan, My god why does the Kiseki series has such a autistic fanbase? the only real difference between this series and all other crap is all the political, lore and back story drama, attention to details and the NPCs made more alive than any other jRPG.

If any Cold Steel onlies are here you should pick up Trails in the Sky FC, it shits on CS story and character wise. The combat can be a little slow comparatively, however the game actually requires strategy and has difficulty beyond S breaking to win.

Sky's characters only become fleshed out in SC and the 3rd.
>>
>>387188863
>however the game actually requires strategy
I give you the characters and story, its my favorite arc after all but common, FC is just spam earth wall, SC is clock down and 3rd is grail sphere, if people can exploit CS they are going to exploit the rest of the games.

>>387188578
>you're very silly if you expect video games to have good writing in the first place

Sure, probably. But expecting it to have at least as good of writing as its predecessor games is a reasonable expectation, which CS failed to live up to.
>>
Honestly, I started as a CSfag but when I played FC and then SC I realised how cliche and phoned in the Erebonian arc was. I kinda wish I could've stayed ignorant and still believe Cold Steel was good.
>>
>>387189031
>shitting on Sky
Where did I shit on Sky?

>assumed it was CS
I did not.
The argument chain the further up you go is arguing over Sky and Cold Steel character archetypes.

But you didn't realize that FC and SC are just as cliched too, borrowing largely from the tropes and writing of anime of it's time?
>>
>>387188795
Why is everyone pretending that the orbment system was some of super deep system that was impossible for MERE casuals to understand?

>>387188863
Yeah. Instead in Sky you apply amazing tactical prowess and foresight to click on earth wall then click your teammates.
>>
>>387189095
Have you played Ao? Weapons and stuff i.e a normal resistance is what they decide to do in the end. The cheating we are arguing about is literal rewritting the world.
>>
>>387189036
Its not about which part is the climax really, its about the story progression of FC is a lot better than SC.

Maybe he didn't watch anime of that time. There's nothing wrong with hating modern anime tropes and not liking cs because of it.
>>
>>387189123
Same. I actually still like CS though, I just treat it like food, Sky is going to a 3 star Michelin restaurant while CS is going to Taco Bell.
>>
>>387188587
What the hell anon, you can't enjoy both.

Yes, but the essence is the same, you are at war, you use weapon to protect yourself, thats all.

It's wrong to single out flaws in one game when the same flaws are present throughout the whole series.

It's only EOPs who's first and only Falcom games are the Kiseki series who think Cold Steel is out of place for Falcom standards.

If you guys want to see what good gameplay and writing looks like, I invite you to play Persona 5, Nier:Automata, or Tales of Berseria.

>>387189460
The essence is that there are lines you don't cross. You can justify it by saying you did what you had to but you can't expect to be the good guy any more or everyone accepting it. The stakes in ao were far too high and the way you got there was very wrong.

The nigga can literally go super saiyan at will to enhance the ever living fuck out of his already competent abilities and kill everything to death with little effort, everyone in Class VII sucks his dick, and given his competition, he manages to score in the top 10 of the entire academy. Not to mention he's portrayed as a very selfless and caring individual who constantly demeans himself to make others pity him and emphasize his selflessness that much more.

He's incredibly Gary Stu.

Oh wow, you have the option to study or not one single time in the game. Guess that means he's not a Gary Stu. Rean is an average everyman with nothing stupidly special about him or his abilities, everyone does NOT ride his dick, and he's actually an egotistical douchebag.

It's nice in Ao because unlike CS it also gives you big amounts of quartz to work with, like 10 of the main element and 5 of the other at rank 5. And it still felt less broken than CS.
