PSA: Puns inside chests are BACK! (Kinda)

[StrykerL]

If you're a veteran of the Sky series, you'll remember checking every chest twice to read the puns they had when you examined them AFTER taking the loot. The puns were a feature of the English translation, because the XSEED figured out that each chest had a uniquely stored 'nothing' text when you re-opened them, and they got permission to change that into pretty funny jokes/flavor text unique for each chest. This was lost when Cold Steel 1 arrived (better coding from Falcom), but it's finally back, but in a limited and rather unexpected way.

Drumroll please: The Overdrive Challenge Chests (the Blue ones). If you DON'T have the required team members, it gives you a pun! I haven't tried seeing if you get the pun if you have the members and say No to start the combat when prompted, but the main point is I figure this out at the middle of Act Two, and realized I'd been missing oh so many puns >_<

If anyone has noted the puns down, please do list them here, they're honestly a part of my enjoyment of this fantastic series.

The games were originally released on PS3 and Vita, so, this isn't exactly an unknown?

Thank you! I've didn't get a chance to play the series on consoles, so I did not know this. Let's see how they adapt CS3

Those were fantastic! I laughed at most of them. Whomever wrote the jokes shares my sense of humor.

Copying the text in the link here (I can't see the details of who made this list, so thanks unknown Trails follower)

Sara and Fie: If you want a little beer, get a pint glass. If you want more, a tankard. But if you want to really get smashed, pour it into a Vale-stein

Fie and Elliot: Sharon had just set out some ice cream, when Fie snuck in and absconded with the frozen treat. The melted trail she left behind was the only clue about this cold steal.

Millium and Gaius: You’ve heard it a Millium times before: nice Gaius finish last

Emma, Jusis, Fie, Gaius: Who decided to name an academy ‘Thors’? Sounds like they were pretty hammered at the time!

Laura, Machias, Gaius, Sara: It’s silly that Laura is worried about her weight, right? After all, it doesn’t look like she’s put on even Le-gram

Millium and Jusis: Millium has been doing her best to get Jusis and Machias to come play with her, but sadly, her efforts thus far have been Juseless

Emma and Alisa: It makes sense that Emma was the top scorer on the Thors entrance exam. After all, she really knows how to spell!

Elliot, Emma, Millium, Sara: Have you heard Elliot’s father published a best-selling book on the Imperial forces? They don’t call him ‘Craig the Read’ for nothing?

Elliot and Gaius: How can you tell that Gaius grew up in a pretty extreme environment? His whole family is IN TENTS!

Fie and Laura: Laura may usually win against Fie in a swimming race, but it’s no contest when they’re racing on land. After all, Fie’s always been fast on her Fiet.

Elliot and Machias: Machias and Elliot decided to open their own business. Funding was no problem, of course, because they both had a connection to some CAPITAL!

Fie and Machias: You try to open the trail chest. It claps its hands over its ears and whispers, “I can’t hear you.”

Alisa and Fie: It’s whispered among jaegers that Class VII will take out anyone… if the price is right. They’ll just charge you a little Fie.

Machias and Millium: Millium tried to run after Machias caught her sneaking food, but she stopped dead in her tracks when he shouted, “Don’t you move one more milliumeter!”

Alisa, Elliot, Laura, and Jusis: Class VII’s been working tirelessly to find a way to stop the civil war, but it’s Claire that they’re Tovally at a low on how to do it. Care to Sharon idea or two?

Jusis and Machias: Have you seen Dorothee’s book about Jusis & Machias? It started with a Noble Command, a Treasure Sword was brandished and it ended with a shotgun wedding.

Alisa and Gauis: Irina Reinford’s daughter wasn’t ready to purchase her own orbal car, but she was willing to take out A-lisa on one!

Jusis and Sara: When Jussi and Rufus decide who will inherit the Albarea lands, will they have to DUKE it out?

Fie and Millium: Fie and Millium are on a waiting list for a new product that will help them grow taller, but it’s very in demand. Hopefully they’ll get it sometime in the next Millennium.

Laura and Millium: Millium was called into Captain Arundel’s office after spilling a few secrets. With a frown, he said, “it’s about time someone around here gave you a stern Lechter!”

Alisa and Machias: Alisa asked Machias if he’d like to ride in an Achtzehn straight off the Reinford assembly lines, but he shook his head, saying, “No tanks!”

Laura and Emma: Did you hear Via Clotilde was accused of impersonating a radio show host? Yup: charged with a Misty-meanor.

Alisa and Sara: Word has it that the Imperial Army has weaponized the karaoke performances of Class VII’s instructor into a new type of munition: the Sara-nade

Machias and Emma: Whatever happens, Emma and Machias can always fall back on their bartending skills. You seldom see them without their glasses!

Alisa and Millium: How is this message like Millium? It’s short.

God, they are so hilarious. Xseeds is so passionate about their projects. This is why I'm keep supporting them.

I noticed this instantly. Glad they brought back the chest jokes.
