We're two weeks into this series and we've reached unlucky number 13. Only, it's not really, Death's actually a super positive card, it just has a bad reputation because... Well, because it's death. This arcana is assigned to our original emo sword boy, Joshua. I love Joshua, you love Joshua, Estelle REALLY loves Joshua but that's less relevant, so let's see how he fits his card.

As mentioned, Death is a pretty good card to draw in most circumstances. While it can, in very specific circumstances, mean literal death it's far more commonly a reference to an end of an era. Saying goodbye to a relationship that isn't good for you, leaving one job for another, moving to a new place, meeting new people, starting a new life. Death is a necessity, for one must allow their old selves to die before they can start anew. The card almost always means that there's a better tomorrow coming, and the end should be celebrated for what it gave us.

This is literally the state we meet Joshua in, after all. Joshua Astray figuratively dies and Joshua Bright is born in his place, beginning a new life with Estelle and Cassius, in spite of the tumultuous childhood he had. Joshua goes through a few rebirths, but this is definitely the biggest one, and the fact that Estelle in particular is so vital in this renewal of Joshua goes to show how powerful her spirit really is. Of course, we could also argue that every time Weissman reset Joshua's mind was a rebirth too, though a much less positive one. In either case, these would remain the domain of the upright Death, but what about its counterpart?

Death reversed rejects the changes that Death brings. When reversed, the card is about holding onto the past in spite of the pain it causes, refusing to change or acknowledge our growth, and gorging ourselves on memories and nostalgia. Death reversed is stagnant, unmoving, and empty. When drawn, it's usually a warning that you need to stop fighting the future, that you're clinging onto a bygone era and it's only going to hurt you. I can only think of one instance where this is the case for Joshua.

Say what you will about Weissman. No, really, I insist, call him every insult you can think of. Anyway, he was always about moving Joshua forwards when he was in his thrall, even if the direction was diabolical. No, I'd say the time when Joshua most closely mimics the reversed Death card is after 1st's ending, where he rejects his new life in order to throw himself back into his old one. He frames this as a selfless act, as starting a new crusade without putting his loved ones in danger, but we know that isn't true. He uses his old name, adapts to his old combat style, he even starts dressing like he used to when he was just a mindless puppet, when things didn't scare him. It doesn't take a genius to see what happens from there, Estelle calls him on it, urging him to embrace his new life rather than cling to the old, and Joshua Astray dies once and for all. Only Joshua Bright remains.

It's tricky to right about Joshua's connection to death because his whole story is so well known, I feel like I'm just stating the obvious, so let's look at his story post Sky. The thing I kinda like about Joshua and Estelle after their main arc is that they hardly ever sit still, they're always off doing something, they refuse to remain stagnant. They find and save Renne, they help refugees during the Northern War, they cross multiple borders to help out during the Great Twilight, while they may not be the focus they're rarely ever sat around. The only time I can think where they accept just being content is during Reverie, and even then it's just while they figure out their next move. It really shows that they've learnt from their adventures and aren't willing to accept just being good enough, they always want to try harder, always want to reinvent themselves. They embrace new lives, new adventures, and new friends. Now, if only they could figure out how to do that kissing thing again, they'd be golden.

All in all, as in the Tarot, Death's story in Joshua is a positive one, and a lesson in always looking forward in spite of how easy it is to look back. Yesterday may have been great, it may have been awful, but tomorrow is unwritten, it can be whatever you want. I mean, for me, it'll be Temperance, but you get the idea.

[Ignore Shizuna, she isn't important for the context of this thread]

What i like about feri is how innocent and pure she is. So detached from whatever is going on in the world and lives in her little bubble. Until she meets the Spriggan and gets disavowed from her jaeger corps. That's the begining of her becoming street smarts, but also just becoming more in-tune with whats normal outside of her small bubble.

One aspect i love about Feri and Van's dynamic is that Feri almost always hugs van whenever things are out of control or whenever Van is trying to do things alone. In that way she never wants to let go of who she feels safest with.

Van has some of the best bonding with Feri, because he always nudges her in the right direction, but never overstays his welcome so she can find her path on her own two feets.

I think that through Feri's point of view, there are many things she has taken from van and applied to her daily life, her combat and habits.

like what the fuck do you mean the chests don't have funny replies in hell

I had to spam anleace's suction until I got them right and then spammed all of the ults, only Kloe and Mueller did damage

Full Disclosure: This method is only viable when you reach near the end of Chapter 5, the beginning of Chapter 6 and in Chapter 8. It's not available in other chapters.

I learnt that the end game Quartz in the final chapter cost a LOT of U-Material+s so I figured I'd try to grind them out in Chapter 8.

At first I tried to use the usual monster caves but they were super inconsistent and it was rare to find enemies with U-Material+ their drop rate also tended to be pretty low.

Luckily there are a lot of these monsters in the Ancient Dragon's Lair in Bose. The best spot ends up being the cave right next to the boss room where a bunch of them are gathered.

Defeating them is simple with Agate and using his S Crafts, with Lone Blade, Ember Blade and Serendipity. (Only thing to watch out for are the exploding flakes).

Generally this gives between 3 to 5 U-Materials and 1 or 2 U-Material+s within about 30 minutes I easily made around 71 in total counting converted U-Materials.

One run takes around 40 seconds to 1 minute, you can reset the monsters by leaving back to Bose and coming back via fast travel.

This is at least outside the final chapter the best location for grinding U-Material before entering the end game, though I haven't heard of any faster locations in the final dungeon.

If you want to soup up your party early into the final chapter this is a great way to prepare, honestly even 1 hour of grinding is more than enough (roughly 120 to 150 U-Material+).

While you cant see it fully in the image, the small metal plate on Estelle's sleeve reads "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Left my colored pens at home by accident, we're getting to that hard stretch of the month

These 3 girls's character designs are too good. That Calvardian water is a different breed from the Crossbellan water.

If the water from Crossbell makes you more...If you know you know. Then the water from Calvard gives everyone drip and makes them beautiful and cool. And this applies to every character, male and female.

Imagine the kind of drip Lloyd would have. No more wearing a police jacket that clearly says CSPD, while doing a quest that requires Lloyd to disguise himself as a civilian. A mafia guy looking at the jacket: "CSPD...Oh it must mean Crossbell Sauna Park Dentist or something."

I'm playing SC remake and I just noticed a weird bug in the BGM. When I'm in an underground dungeon like the Grancel sewers or a mine, or the Kaldia tunnel, the BGM that is usually playing there is overlapped with the regular outside/wilderness BGM. So they are both playing at the same time and it's driving me nuts!

I'm on PS5, is this a bug on other platforms? Does anybody know how to report a bug on the PS5?

I just beat the sky trilogy and I want to keep going so bad. I have cold steel 1-4 because I saw them on sale more than Zero and Azure. When is the next major sale?

Edit: Im sure nobody really cares. I did however just say screw it and got Zero.

After discovering Trails with FC remake in december 2025, i finally finished horizon and i am now up to date with the series. I'm honestly kinda feeling "empty" knowing that i gotta wait for the next trails game to be announced. But still, i find it wild that, for me at least, not a single one of these games are "bad". Sure, daybreak 2 is far from being the best trails game ever made, but i still enjoyed most of it. I could go on and on about each games and ranking them, but since tier lists aren't authorized i'll refrain from that. The only thing left to do is to wait for kai 2! (or 3rd remake 😄)
