Why do you support such a fuck ups?

http://pastebin.com/afJe1jRj

>That March, Dice took a knife to his chest. He later wrote about the experience in a blog post, explaining that he’d sunk into a cycle of depression and self-loathing triggered in part by his work on Trails in the Sky SC. “A thousand, thousand failures haunt me,” he wrote. “Failures that caused others pain, discomfort, distress. Failures so many I can no longer count them all.”

>In the summer of 2014, three years after they’d first formed a partnership, Carpe Fulgur and XSEED agreed to part ways. It had become clear that things weren’t working, and Dice hadn’t made much progress on SC since December, so Carpe Fulgur sent over everything they’d done and XSEED took back the reins. Publicly, the publisher maintained that the game would be out by the end of the year, but after what they’d been through, that seemed unlikely.

>cherry picking for your own agenda
>"Chavez, who at that point had moved from LA to Australia and was working for XSEED on a freelance basis, reluctantly took over editing on the project. At that point, she said, Carpe Fulgur had translated it all, but they’d still only finished editing around 50% of the game. “I had about six months to do it,” Chavez said. “For reference, about half of SC is 1.6 million [Japanese characters], which was about how much was left. FC was 1.5 million, and that took nine months.”"
>"Chavez crunched and crunched for half a year, editing text until her eyes bled. She tweaked dialogue, fixed typos, and started correcting all of the terminology mistakes that remained in the script. She estimates that the script clocked in at 716,401 words, which is roughly the size of 10 novels. For context: the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy is 455,125 words. Tolstoy’s War and Peace (New American Library Version) is 587,287."
Throw them some bone for the soul crushing effort in the localization process that leads the guys at CF to manic depression.
SC is still a great game worthy of your time and money
>>
>>315238341

Fuck off Andrew Dice

>In the fall of 2013, Dice started sending script files to Chavez, who quickly saw significant issues in what Carpe Fulgur had done. For starters, the file format was incorrect; Dice and Light-Williams had worked in text mode on a CSV-formatted file rather than the spreadsheet mode that XSEED and Falcom had requested. “The way they had it set up was three lines in three separate columns, and all three lines are supposed to be in the same cell, so you just need a hard line break,” Chavez said. “So I just had to cut and paste, cut and paste, cut and paste.”

Fuck up or not, Xseed still managed to release the game after all these years. English SC has no censorship people have been memeing about whenever CF is mentioned. People slaved away to the point of near suicide to bring you this jrpg with a massive script. The game itself is pretty damn good too. Doesn't that deserve financial support?

Attack CF all you want; that won't detract from the game's quality...aside from some names getting changed in the localization due to the lack of lore bible when Xseed first handed them the project.

Can we make this a Kiseki thread instead?

Started playing again today.

Just finished the farm quest in the main story and completed a few sidequests, which apparently unlock new recipes and other nice little things.

I also notice new quests, some of them have "high" as difficulty level, should I come back to them later?

Also digging the system of CP and EP allowing for alot of versatility and choice in the battle system.

Being able to see the beasts strengths and weaknesses and other things along with the beastiary is pretty neat too.

Estelle is a jack-of-all-trades character, she's not bad at anything but not really good at anything either, and in this game specialization is better than versatility. She isn't as good of a physical attacker as Joshua or Agate, and she isn't as good a spellcaster as Kloe or Oliver (although Kloe's extreme water bias in her orbment kinda sucks).

You should probably focus her on support skills like Earth Wall, which snaps the game's difficulty in two to be desu. Also Provoke is pretty useful for taking the heat off of your squisher members since she can easily be outfitted as a tank.

Sure it will. SC sold 5,000 copies on steam alone in its first three days. And btw it's doing better on GOG than steam. It is STILL on their top 5 popular games, and FC is still in their top 10.

>>315239084
More words in the RPG genre is a good thing because it actually fleshes out the characters in that world, and makes it worthwhile to invest your time in something that's guaranteed to give you a meaningful experience. Better this game than most of those open world WRPGs that mindlessly let you roam around for your so called "freedom" in doing all of those petty fetch quests with mediocre plot, empty characters, and cheap gameplay mechanics.

That doesn't really mean shit when top 5 on GOG would be the same amount of sales as #50 on Steam. It's doing abysmally compared to FC.
>>
>>315251382
For the record, how much did FC sell? (On the PC, PSP sold piss poor)

I'd imagine that SC would sell more than FC, despite being the sequel to a story heavy game simply because of the people who already played the first wants to know what happened

Over 100k.
>I'd imagine that SC would sell more than FC
You'd be wrong. Of the people who played FC, many didn't even finish it, either because they didn't like the story, the graphics, or the combat, or whatever else. For the people who did finish FC, they'd be getting to SC now and playing it. But SC has no appeal for people who haven't played FC, or didn't enjoy FC. SC is a sequel that's guaranteed to sell less than the original by default.
>>
What went wrong?
>>
>>315252257

Price.
>>
>>315252257
XSeed gave us enough to learn Japanese and play the entire series before releasing SC in English.
>>
>>315251860
Sounds like you're a good candidate for someone who will appreciate Trails in the Sky. You should check the games out for sure if you haven't already. FC is a charming and comfy adventure and SC is an action-packed emotional rollercoaster ride, but they're really just two parts of the same story. Playing through FC really gives you an appreciation for the events in SC and makes you really care about the characters as you witness the trials they undergo in it.

FC didn't sell 100k in a weekend, retard. Fuck off if all you're gonna do is be a negative nancy.

You're right. It only sold 30k in the first week.

Didn't it take a few months to reach 100K? I'm pretty sure it did.

Also SC's first week isn't over, and considering it's a direct sequel to SC nobody expects it to sell as well. I'm pretty sure not even xseed does. That would be dumb.

Just to let you guys know that even if SC just now isn't enough to get you 3rd, Sen could spark interest in FC/SC and get more sales then. It was designed to attract newcomers, after all.

Now hopefully Falcom can work on a game aimed towards fans which is better than Sen next.
>>
>>315252976
Context is important, retard. You can't just take inaccurate numbers from the first three days and declare that it bombed. First of all steamspy itself says wait two weeks for accurate numbers. Second of all steamspy actually says it has 5,000 SC owners as of nov. 1st. That ain't bad for a direct sequels first three days.

Falcom didn't even want XSeed to bother with SC in English. They wanted to skip straight to Sen. They're not going to want XSeed to go back and do 3rd. Sales have to prove it's worthwhile, and right now it's looking horrible. Not to mention Zero and Ao's shitty PC situations.

If you think xseed expects SC to sell like FC did then you're an idiot. sc is a DIRECT SEQUEL. People will buy it who FINISHED FC. Therefore SC, by definition, will never match or exceed FC's sales.

>implying XSeed don't expect SC to surpass FC PSP sales
They halted the localization of SC to release FC on Steam to see if there was any chance of SC being successful at all. This was because FC's sales nearly bankrupted XSeed when they first released the game on PSP.

What really happened is that some SJW chased her off the internet after they threatened to kill themselves if XSEED didn't patch out the word "trap" from Akiba Strip.

>>315253712
Um yeah I'm not implying anything. I'm saying it outright. SC sales are limited to people who finish FC or buy them both together, period. I'm quite sure xseed knows this. Only an idiot would expect SC to outsell FC.
>>
>>315253916
I was only comparing it to day one PSP FC sales, and yes XSeed expected it to outsell the game that nearly bankrupted them in the first place. That's just fucking common sense, especially considering the localization of SC cost more than FC.

Because her crafts range from terrible to mediocre.

So how's character power ratings so far?
Mine is:

Overpowered:
>Kevin (best support in the game with panic button as s-craft)
>Joshua (MONSTROUS speed and phys/mag DPS, slots locked for best magic type in the game, in his battle against certain major he was able to move 4 times per 1 enemy turn)

Top tier:
>Agate (wild rage is pretty exploitable and his crafts are great but he's slow)
>Schera (worthless outside of AT Advance but man that skill is broken)
>Olivier (best mage, but bad crafts only suited for finishing off weaker enemies)

Mid tier:
> Estelle (easily outclassed in everything she can do aside from STR buff but very versatile and can switch between healer and tank roles if needed)
>Zane (his self-buff gives him enormous 1 target damage which can be exploited with team attacks but otherwise he's pretty mediocre)

Low tier
>Kloe (only good craft is generally not working on bosses, 3 goddamn locked slots)
>Tita (physical ranged character who is just worthless all around)
