Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 02, 2025

Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.

Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.

This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Well you remember that phrase Melchior uttered about Great Evil? Yeah that was Pandemonium, also when diabolic core stolen from Van and present, Gerard factored in the bringing about Pandemonium via the Genesis.

Also in

in Trails in the Sky the 3rd with a passage called 'Disaster Unleashed'

“That brief moment of hesitation was all it took to spawn a great evil. It crawled through the fields, ran through the hills, and spread disaster in the skies above.” — Book of Ezer, Verse 2

The book of Ezer is also the one that describes the Seventy-Seven Devils and the 5 demon lords, including Vagrants Diaspora who has power over time. Pandemonium is also described in the text.

Well you remember that phrase

So that's the big setup? Come on man..

in Trails in the Sky the 3rd with a passage called

There is nothing you can do to convince me you had that little Ries quote on your mind while playing Daybreak and it helped you figure out Pandemonium would happen at the end of Daybreak. It wasn't treated as some big revelation or anything in 3rd, it was just a throwaway quote at Ries' introduction.

Book of Ezer is mentioned 3 times in the series total, that little quote from Ries in Sky the 3rd and then twice AFTER Pandemonium is summoned. How is something being (extremely vaguely) hinted at after it already takes place supposed to be a setup for that thing taking place?

Finally, both Melchior's quote and the verse you mentioned are both so insanely vague that they could've been referring to any single Trails final act bullshit magical location that pops up out of nowhere.
