This will be my first ever Kiseki game, hell my first Falcom game even.
Will I be fine?
First I thought this series was like FF/DQ/Tales where every installment doesn't have anything to do with the previous game but eventually I looked it up and learned that this game takes place in the same setting as Sora/Ao/Zero so I'm kinda hesitant to buy it since the story connection might be heavy and I am required to play past games.
If it's like Persona 4 where the game takes place in the same world as Persona 3 but you don't really need to play the previous game since the connection isn't really significant due to it having a completely different plot, then I will pick this game up right away.

Play Trails in the Sky and SC first or you'll be missing out on important info about the setting for the first game and will be completely lost in the second game's plot.

Man, this is what I'm afraid of.
I don't have PSP/Vita and I'm not interested in PC gaming.
Guess I'll pass on this and buy Zestiria instead. Thanks for answering, anon.
>>320541579
>Guess I'll pass on this and buy Zestiria instead.
Words spoken by people without brains.
>>320541778
Good job op you can see this series has a truly low quality fanbase
>>320540660
Honestly, don't waste your time with Kiseki.
>>320541730
>Guess I'll pass on this and buy Zestiria instead.
Please, tell me this is b8, anon.
>>320541778
He's not missing much by passing by Cold Steel, it's just a glib fascimile of Trails in the Sky anyway but with worse characters.
He is missing out by skipping FC due to some childish consolewar shit though.
How does this make you feel /v/?He's posting on the official Xseed forums if someone doesn't know.
>>320542481
I feel sorry for all these people playing it after playing SC.
>>320540660
>Collector's editon box is designed to fit the first game and the second game which is coming soon
>Falcom announces Cold Steel III
Thx, Xseed
>>320542667
>yfw Cold Steel III's LE will include a box for the game which has space for the box from the LE of the first game.
You'll be fine OP the intricacies of these games plots is overstated. Just glance at a wiki and you'll be fine for the second game.
>>320542667
Cold Steel III is probably not going to be about Class VII
>>320542845
Everyone who thought you could just "look at a wiki" just to skip The 3rd was confused as shit when they played the Crossbell games. You'll be even more confused if you do that to skip every game, especially since any English wikis completely lack info.
>>320542369
>childish consolewar shit
I don't want to buy a handheld just to play one game nor do I want to unnecessarily spend my money to upgrade my slow PC just to play one game(and once again, I have no experience or interest whatsoever in PC gaming) and that somehow counts as console war shit?
>>320543046
I wish they would localize previous games, but with Cold Steel 1-2 and now even 3, it's looking less likely to come out here.
Are Ao and Zero on PC? Couldn't someone just fan translate it? Unless the script's really long like other Trails games.
>>320543162
The game came out in 2004 and was made to run on 2004-era toasters. Unless you're posting from a graphing calculator you can run it.
I could look up gameplay videos, but sometimes they give the wrong impression of a game, so I'll just ask: what kind of RPGs are TITS and Trails of Nothin' Personnel? The screenshots for BOOBS almost make it look like an isometric/tactics game, but the video makes it look traditional turn-based combat.
>>320543275
Your PC seriously has lower specs than this?
Processor: Pentium III 550 MHz
Memory: 512 MB RAM
Graphics: 32 MB VRAM, 3D accelerator compatible w/ DirectX 9.0c
It's the minimum requirement specs for TiTS
>>320542618
I'm gonna hold off on it to finish some other games for a while
>>320543275
Zero is on PC, Ao has a shitty chink port that Xseed wouldn't be able to get the rights to.
Nobody wants to fan translate any of the games because they all have a ton of text.
>>320541730
emulate them on a psp emulator?
>>320543395
meant for
>>320543162
>>320543482
PPSSPP has higher requirments than the PC version of the game and looks/runs worse though
>>320543342
It has similar combat to Grandia.
>>320543425
What about Evo? They could at least release it on Vita. Or it's also not possible?
>>320540660
>first falcom game
>never played Ys
that's surprising
>>320543613
The Evolution games are licensing nightmares and XSEED would have to negotiate with three different companies for rights, Tom said that it won't happen, most likely.
Chara-Ani for voice acting (and they're protective of VAs, that's why Cold Steel doesnt have JP voices in the west because of Chara-Ani), Pyramid and Kadokawa for the game itself (Falcom didn't make the Evo remakes, they did). Also Falcom itself for the IP.
>>320543613
They don't have the rights to anything that involves any companies other than Falcom, which means the only games they can localize are the Sora trilogy, Zero PC/PSP, and Ao PSP.
>>320543782
Chara-Ani/Kadokawa are extremely protective of their properties, too. They won't let anyone handle their shit overseas unless they've approached them first. So unles that happens, no Evolution remakes for the west.
>>320543567
he said he didn't have an interest in pc gaming, doesn't ppsspp work on smartphones?
>>320544567
It does but you'd need a powerful phone and I don't know why you'd subject yourself to that.
>>320543713
Welcome to modern-/v/.

>japs being this cunt-ish with seiyuu
So this is why the jews fear the samurai.
>>320543782
>>320543989
What sucks is that Xseed really would love to do dual audio and tries their best to explain to their fans why it's impossible to get it.
>>320545684
Too bad /v/ is too retarded to understand.
hnng
>>320545684
>>320546040
Shut the fuck up, Xseed apologists.I wish we got dual audio, but I'm still hype for Cold Steel even if people say it's shit. I don't trust /v/'s opinion on anything most of the time.
I guess that's fine but I really think you should try Ys first though. I personally have always found Falcom's action games to be better than their ATB roleplaying games.
>>320546223
I'm not apologizing I'm just saying Xseed is a small company that doesn't have the budget. If anything I blame Falcom for hiring VA that love fucking us over.
>>320540660
Going to get physical OP?
>>320546643
Let's not play the blame game.
>>320546643
Falcom just wanted to have good VAs for their game. Most of the best VAs in Japan are licensed by companies that are extremely protective of their licensing. Blame the Japanese seiyuu industry if you want to blame anyone, or better yet go make an undub.
>>320546643
I wrote that sarcastically. I thought the "I wish we got dual audio, but I'm still hype for Cold Steel" line gave it away.
>>320547343
An undub patch could be done provided you have the PS3 version.
>>320547343
I do blame them. I fucking hate Atlus the most since they have the fucking budget to do dual audio yet all they do is go "but we work so hard on our localization!"
>>320547526
I had a feel but there's always someone that brings dual audio up and tries to shit over Xseed because they can't give us it. I mean they are even bigger weebs than us so they know how much people want dual audio but sad they can't provide it.
>>320547703
Is the VA that important in this game? People said a lot of scenes are not voiced even when you expect them to. I checked out some videos and it did look kinda inconsistent (one scene had Rean silent and the other guy voiced).
TitS didn't suffer from having no voice.
>>320547740
Hope you enjoy Burch as Ann in P5, friend. She worked really hard :)
>>320547703
There's also this:
http://www.play-asia.com/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-english/13/709cjp
Vita version with Eng subs and Jap voices.
>>320547971
Honestly I hate Atlus localization. Hearing honorifics spoken in English sounds really fucking wrong. I get it's Japan but copying the language that closely is too much for me.
>>320548374
Don't worry, Anon-kun. I'm sure you'll love Burch-chan as Ann-san.
>>320548779
Burch went Union never going voice for Atlus unless they pay her big bucks
>>320549234
Can't wait for them to get some other no-name voice actors from the street.
>>320548187
You sure bro?
>>320547903
Only 10,000 lines apparently for an 60 hour game. Not that much.
>>320543567
>PPSSPP has higher requirements than the PC version
I refuse to believe that, PPSSPP runs on my toaster's phone's blender's LED display just fine.
>>320550296
Yeah. Dunno how they're doing this since Tom from Xseed says he doesn't know anything about this, but if Playasia is selling it, it seems legit.
Though, I only noticed it now, it says "Subtitles: English". It previously said it's in Japanese with English subtitles. it seems that they removed the Japanese part, so, I don't know anymore.
>>320548187
I emailed them about that, and they said it's Eng Voices and menus.
You can email them also and confirm.
Do the CE of these games ever raise in price ?
After finishing them I want to resell in the future
>>320551841
The reqs for TITS were posted earlier in the thread. The game is going to run better than PPSSPP is regardless.
This will be downloadable, right?
>>320553794
Unless it's 20 years in the future no.
>>320546879
I like the cover art we get more than the art for the initial Japanese release.
>>320555164
Yeah on Tuesday in the evening in the United States.
>>320556683
That's what I thought. I was planning to get the digital version rather than waiting an unspecified amount of time for a Euro release or having to put up with international shipping close to Christmas.
>>320553142
Judging by impressions on the internet the Asia version is the exact same as the NA version.
The Asian version has a reversible cover with a different boxart
>>320543162
Trails in the sky can be run in any pc anon, like he said >>320543310
>>320543713
>>320545286
Well thats what Falcom was aiming when they did Sen. It was meant to attract new fans since they realised that Ys and Kisekis fans were getting old so they switch settings or gameplay, added the school stuff with Sen and simplify things for Ys to bring new kids of this generation.
>>320558469
They've succeeded with that new Xanadu game.
play Ys faggot
