FF13's story is slow at the beginning and picks up later, but it's shit throughout.

People don't want to dedicate dozens of hours into a story they may or may not like. Hell, there are some that won't play xenogears because they here its a 100 hour long game. Doesn't matter if a games story is good. If it takes a long time for it to pay off, it's going to turn customers off.

>>316429774

They won't. The threads'll be gone when it gets boring, but they won't stop being insufferable about one thing or another. It's the one thing you can absolutely count on from a falcom fan, whether it's y's, trails, popful mail, whatever.

You'd think they'd be happy having good games to play, but being overshadowed by anything seems to drive them as insane as mainline SMT fans getting recked over persona being more popular.
>>
>>316430215
>generic
I hate that fucking word. Everything looks generic to somebody. You think your shitty WRPGs look original in any way to me? Nope. In fact they all look exactly the fucking same.

Trails in the Sky are two amazing games that together tell a great story about a young rookie bracer named Estelle and her adopted brother who travel the country on a mission to become senior bracers, and in the process get unknowingly caught up in the plans of a secret society named Ouroborous. There's more to it than that, but that's basically the gist of it.
>>
>>316430348
This desu. The shitposting got really bad after they got SC. Seems like false flagging to me, at least I hope it is desu.

You're the one asking why the shitposters are everywhere. I just explained the situation. People are mad the games sold poorly because now the series is officially dead. That's all there is to it.
>>
>>316423178
Maybe because Trails is fucking shit compared to their ARPGs. Suck on it.
>>
>>316430763
>Officially dead

With a "long-con" game like SC, I don't think the time it drops matters nearly as much as it just... being out there. We know not to approximate the success of this game on first-week sales alone as game companies (sometimes ourselves included) are often wont to do, since SC is a special case in pretty much every way -- so I wouldn't worry about sales figures just yet. I think we're all pretty confident that SC will do just fine in the end, and none of us are naive enough to make future decisions about the series based on anything frivolous.

They took 5 years on SC for it to sell horribly. 3rd, Zero and Ao won't have PSP sales if they ever release and Ao doesn't even have a PC port, even if Zero has a really shitty one that's just a shitty emulator. The series is dead in the west. They're skipping to Sen to cut their losses in hopes they can hit it big with the Persona fanbase. Xseed are incapable of handling this franchise, that's all there is to it.

I bet you're one of the same butthurt faggots who kept saying that we would never get SC, either.

Face the facts. SC will, over time, do well enough to justify the 3rd and the other games. Each of those games will, over time, sell well enough to justify more. That's because these games have a loyal fanbase and they will make money off them.

No, they're not blockbuster hits for casual gamers. But there are enough Trails fans to get it done.
>>

>>
>>316431205
They took 5 years for SC because nobody bought FC on the PSP. They couldn't even justify SC until FC hit steam in 2014. Xseed has made mistakes but most of what happened with Trails was out of their hands.

>>316430657
Hate it all you want, the game has that dime a dozen anime look that does nothing to stand out. So yes, I think generic art style fits just fine.

That's just telling me what the story is about. Every JRPG thinks it has a unique story. I still don't understand how this game is special in any way.
>>
>>316431405
There's no way in hell to "justify" porting Ao to PC because XSeed literally cannot do it. Falcom have to do it themselves. Falcom told XSeed to cancel SC according to Xseed's blogs. You really think they're gonna go back and port Ao for Xseed? 3rd may happen at some point, but Zero and Ao are never happening. They're just not possible.

Actually it does, the old artstyle anyway. Pick any anime from the early 00s and compare it to 10s design and there's an obvious difference. Not saying they don't have their faults of merits, but the design for Trails back then had its charm.

Guilty Gear artstyle for example changed radically from Accent Core to Xrd, and while the new one did its job to attract newer audience, there's definitely a different appeal to their old art.

It takes knowledge of these games/genre to tell if something has going for them. That said, judging games based on artstyle is pretty bad

See this kind of hyperbole really exposes you for the bait/retard that you actually are. Even the most conservative estimates have SC at 10k at least, and that's just now. SC will be fine.

>Look pal, if you don't like the game then fucking move along.

Lol, nigga quit getting defensive, how can I not like something that I know nothing about? Im trying to point out that this shit has no draw to an onlooker. I hear on /v/ that it's good, and I hear people complain about it getting no sales, and that's the thing, why WOULD it get sales when I, as an onlooker, can't tell why I'd want to buy it. It seems that only the people who already know what this game is and want this game will buy it, but it does nothing, through marketing or gameplay vids or anything, to attract me. Story and world building are great and all, but that's a difficult thing to sale at a glance when every jrpg has a "unique and interesting world". The art style looking like an average anime only enforces that. For what it's worth I have the game on my wishlist, just waiting on a nice sale to grab it cheap.

>>316432238
I like Xr'd and all, but the super clean cel shading really makes it lose a lot of it's charm to me. There's no more grit anymore.
>>
>>316432597
>>316432621
We won't know for sure until a few months later. I feel like nobody actually realizes it's been less than 2 weeks since the game came out. Xseed even said that FC PSP had pretty good legs.
>>
>>316432910
>Xseed even said that FC PSP had pretty good legs.
That's because the LE could be had for 15$ a month after the game came out. I bought it off amazon when I found out about it on a whim. I didn't even know the series existed because Xseed can't market for shit.
>>
>>316432790
I'm not really being defensive, it's just that word generic sets me off. It's a bullshit word when you're talking about video games. Something may look "generic" to you, but to me it looks really interesting and unique. At the same time, many games that other people enjoy look extremely generic to me. WRPGs and FPS, for example. I can't tell 'em apart.
>>
>>316433348
Why would generic set you off? Generic in no way denotes poor quality.

Trails games are a really hard sell, you're right it doesn't look that great from screenshots and stuff. It's a very comfy game and is meant to be enjoyed slowly. Good of you to give it a try.

Here have some OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lr9Ld4r-JM
>>
>>316433445
Well, as has been said before, it implies that the game doesn't stand out in any way from other games of the same genre. Not everybody will feel that way about a game. It's just too subjective and it isn't even a good reason to pass judgment on a game.

When someone says "the game looks like a generic JRPG," what that really means is they never bothered to look close enough to see the difference.
>>
>>316433445
Yeah it does. The only time anyone uses the word generic is to shitpost gamesor anime.
>>
They are both games with terrible gameplay, where story and characters are the only redeeming quality.
>>
>>316433703
To add on to this: I've played JRPGs my entire life. That includes ones like Final Fantasy, and more anime-style games like TiTs and some Tales games. No game that I played has ever had the quality of writing that Trails in the Sky has. To me that's the defining feature. The dialogue is amusing, feels natural, and doesn't get old even after you've played through it multiple times. When someone says "TiTS looks like a generic JRPG," it's just completely discounting the strength of the game based on its artstyle.

Of course not. It's the seller's job to make the game look good. That's what marketing is. You don't see Xseed marketing FC or SC do you? Only Sen. I wonder why. The answer is quite obvious.

>I wonder why. The answer is quite obvious.
Because the games have school uniforms which means they'll sell more in spite of the lower quality, obviously.
>>
>>316434174

Put in good lines humorous or dramatic from the game, alongside backdrops of something "epic" happening in the background and marketing it as having great story. Trailers on story based games do it all the time, of course the problem there is a lot if not most of those use that and you really can't tell if it's true or not

Olivier is based. He grows on you after a while, although personally I always found him hilarious. The real turning point comes when you see his serious side, which shows up in earnest at the beginning of the final chapter.

Last nep thread I was in, faggots actually said to quit talking about the engine.

Oh, I'm sure there's more to him than meets the eye but the game does a pretty good job of selling him as an oddball that kinda grates on everyone. Really, I'm just going with the flow of what I've experienced so far.

I wouldn't have minded it if they atleast enjoyed a good JRPG. Like if Neptunia was Omega Quintet or Zestiria was Vesperia I would totally get it, instead its the worst Tales of game yet, and yet another nepshit game
>>
>>316437096

As someone who likes series like Atelier and Senran Kagura, I do not see the appeal of Neptunia. Like, if my weebassness has a limit then Neptunia crosses it or something. Something about the whole "personification of video game consoles as anime girls" concept really rubs me the wrong way, and it's not like I seem to be missing out on anything of note when it comes to characterization or gameplay.

Just checked the helpful reviews:

>103 hours on record

The lowest I saw was like 12 hours from a guy who stated specifically in his review that he played the games in Japanese.

I don't think you interpreted the sentence correctly.
>>
>>316437613

It also doesn't help that this is the average quality of comment I see when Neptunia is criticized. Doesn't really help the fanbase's case when no one voices why it's worth playing. At least people are pointing to Trails' worldbuilding and dialogue in this very thread. I mean fuck, at least I can point to alchemy being fun in Atelier or shallow but flashy ninja tits combat in SK being a decent time waster. I don't get what Neptunia has going for it at all beyond anime girls.

There is no defense. It's a guilty pleasure. That's why everyone who enjoys it never responds to criticism, because it's all correct. They just enjoy it anyway.

your bitching won't amount to anything in the end. people who enjoy the games will continue buying them, enjoying them and discussing them. you are literally a kuck poster

>>316437768
>>
>>316438141

Mainly because nep fans don't bother constantly defending what they like to shitters. The games are shallow. They know that. They're still enjoying themselves and don't give a fuck.

Nep are games you could pretty much enjoy just as well watching the cuts on youtube, in a bubble world, but there's some kind of meta bullshit that gets in the way of that, like the difference between watching a movie in a theatre and watching it whenever on a dinky screen with tinny speakers off bluray. So they buy the games, go through the motions of average but servicible gameplay, and have a good time.

That's all it is, and unlike trails faggots, they don't get all up their own asses trying to push them as anything more. Or really, trying to push them at all.

And that happy complacency recks more asses than an angry nigger on an asian golf course. It's funny shit, but it's pretty sad, too.
>>
>>316437915
I never implied it was. It's pretty mediocre by all accounts, but I enjoy the ridiculous characters, the stupid SoL moments and everything about it, is incredibly relaxing.

Honestly I envy anyone that can unironically call it a Kusoge. Their gaming experience must've been pretty good so far. I've played some pretty putrid shit back in the day.

>>316438141
The only one I can offer is that the actual CH developed games have been getting better with each installment (for what it's worth) and that the Re;Birth series is not representative of the franchise as a whole.

Basically, they're lazy, but not THAT lazy.

I don't know, man. I just like them. Love them, in fact.
>>
>>316438582
I literally just posted saying that the objective quality of the games doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it. Why are you so upset about facts?

It's kusoge because you won't find worse JRPGs unless you delve into 500 yen doujin games that 4 people played and the like.
>>
>>316438141

I have 7 Nep games, and I will tell you that they are objectively bad. The only reason for getting a Neptunia game is for the characters, which to be completely honest aren't that great either. Over the course of these games, nothing really changes. The new mechanics introduced (all one of them) just make your combos longer, just like in the last game and the game before that. Whoopdiefuckingdoo.

The only appeal I can think of is the 3d models in 1080p, and the strong magnetism toward waifufags.

Why don't people actually talk about the game in Nep threads? Because there honestly isn't much to talk about. At all.

I will be buying the next Neptune game as well.

I enjoyed Destiny, but it was pretty lacking in the motivation department sometime. Dhaos was kind of a fuckwit, but he at least made you feel a connection between the characters and the save the world story.

Other than Leon(if he even counts), Destiny's badguys were probably among the most forgettable in RPG history. Maybe phantasy star gaiden was worse, but just about everything in that game was worse than everything ever.

It's amazing Destiny worked as well as did given that, honestly.
