Why is every vita game a fucking piece of shit?
Lost 4 hours of gameplay because I had the audacity to open the party menu before a boss so I could adjust the party and save, and the game couldnt handle that intense action and crashed.
I dont think I've ever seen a handheld game crash. Vita breaking all expectations.
If you hate the vita why didn't you buy the PS3 version?
>>336736160
Because Jewny doesnt want to add backwards compatibility.
Why add BC when you can force people to buy an irrelevant last gen console instead.
PC port when?
>>336736506
I suspect we may get one if they do a rerelease of the games on the PS4 but don't get your hopes up.
>>336736506
Modern Falcom don't make PC games anymore
Those issues are almost always added by shitty localization companies, like disgaea frying ps3s.
>>336737098
or the witch and the hundred knight crashing all the time
>>336735809
I've never had that game or any game on my vita crash on me. In fact my vita has been on for days while I play sao in bursts and it still hasent crashed.
>>336737298
You're playing the broken engrish sao on vita?
Why?
>>336736940
They also no longer make good games.
>>336737603
But they never made good games.
>>336737603
CS is best selling Trails game though and literally saved the series here in west.
>>336737789
Pretty sure Sky is best selling.
>>336737789
Best RPG last year, not saying much tho.
>>336735809
>I dont think I've ever seen a handheld game crash.
Better get used to it. Slowdown, crashes, andmemory card failure
>>336736839
They're just a distributor. Xseed is the one responsible for this game.
>>336735809
Crashes are really rare on the Vita though, it only happened to me once when playing Sorcery Saga.
>>336735809
I really want this for my Vita, but I hear the loading screens are a bit long. Is this true?
>>336737467
I don't own or want a console. the engrish isn't bad I'm not autistic so it doesn't bother me.
>>336737728
I don't care about Legend of Heroes, but implying Ys is shit is heresy.....unless it's Kefin or any of the old non-Falcom ones.
>>336738374
Yes, ps3 is not much better though
>>336737603
Come on, now. Cold Steel, even if it was weeb-pandering trash, is still a fucking rock solid JRPG by most standards.
>>336735809
>you fell for the "Vita version has no framerate issues" meme
>>336735809
Didn't happen to me yet, but I expect it every time I check a member not currently in the party.
>>336738715
For an rpg, the framerate is acceptable,
Having long load times is the bigger problem.
>my wii no longer reads discs
>my ps4 can't handle 40% of discs I throw at it
>n3ds has never crashed on me
>vita has never crashed on me
why are modern consoles such shit compared to handhelds
>>336738715
I own both and for 99% of the game the ps3 runs about the same. I do skip almost all attack animations tho.
>>336738656
OP here.
It really isnt.
>>336738908
Is this a known bug? It happened when i wanted to move Machias into the main party.
>>336739121
>the frame rate in the highlands especially the scene in when the party is riding horseback with the sun setting
>the frame rate whenever there was a sky view in the big city
>the frame rate during the entire school festival
I'm not even usually a huge stickler for frame rate but this shit was horrendous and it was like I was watching powerpoint slides. Atleast you can say the frame rate in combat is usually fine but these scenes were like 10-15 fps.
>>336739878
Did you update your game yet?
>>336736828
Actually, alot of Vita games that didn't get PS4 release did end up on PC or are ending up on PC
>Danganronpa 1 and 2
>Neptunia Rebirth 1-3
>Hyper Devotion Noire
>Neptunia U
>Xblaze Code Embryo
>Crimson Girls Invite Only
>htoL#NiQ: The Firefly Diary
>Arcana Heart 3 Lovemax
>Disgaea
Considering this and XSEED and NISA have both really have begun to port alot of their games lately, it's got good odds.
I'm more surprised that Koei Tecmo doesn't cash in on the weeb bucks they could easily make on Steam by porting any Atelier games, Arland or Dusk.
>>336740345
I'd be surprised if it happened for cold steel.
>>336740345
KT doesn't actually like PC or at least 2/3 developing studio don't. Omega Force is willing to throw a bone when it comes to games they make
>buy the vita version
mfw
>>336740345
XSeed doesn't make ports, they get the original developers to make ports. Falcom would need to be convinced that it was worthwhile to make a PC port or to let a third party porting studio do the job. President of Falcom said that he'd like to see Zero and Ao in english and he should be well aware that PSP ports aren't feasible anymore so maybe thats a sign that they're planning on returning to PC. Like I said though, don't get your hopes up. The only thing that will affect their decision to port is whether they think the platform is viable, so just keep buying their steam/gog releases. Xanadu Next is due out sometime this year, that game is pretty fucking great.
>>336740986
Didn't they used to get some Chinese company to do this?
I think the celceta for PC was done by them.
>>336740558
>I'd be surprised if it happened for cold steel.
What makes you say that?
XSEED seemed quick eager to announce Trails Third even after the fiasco that was SC due to that suicidal dude from Carpe Fulgur.
>>336740654
Why did they port Toukiden, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (most of these are Chinese / Japanese language only unfortunately), Nobunaga's Ambition and Dead or Alive then?
I also fail to see how it'd be hard to port those titles over since they could probably do what Compile Heart and Idea Factory did and just port the Vita releases.
>>336740986
>Falcom would need to be convinced that it was worthwhile to make a PC port
They sure were convinced quick to conceive a Steam release for TitS Third then even when sales numbers were largely down from previously released.
Have some optimism anon!
>>336741226
Romance and Nobunage were always on PC in Japan they just stopped, DoA was like a one time deal only Team Ninja hates PC because they couldn't sell their DLCs if everyone pirated and or made mods for their characters. Toukiden is co made by Omega Force
>>336741226
Yes, but trails 3rd was originally a PC game. Porting from ps3 is completely different
>>336740654
>KT doesn't actually like PC
Maybe because they sell their games $70, always port the inferior ps3 version and no one buy them?
>>336741226
TitS The Third had a PC release already that they could work from. Making a new port is more work than fixing up an already existent one. Especially since assumedly they could reuse some of the work they did fixing up FC and SC for The Third but Cold Steel is on a full 3D engine.
>>336741216
Joyoland is the company, they do chinese PC ports of some of Falcom's games but they have no english presence, their ports aren't known for being especially high quality, and they might not even be interested.
>>336741226
>Toukiden
Omega Force
>Dead or Alive
Team Ninja experimented. They now dislike PC as mods let one bypass the DLC.
>tfw still waiting for that 90% off sale to buy this shitty ameridubbed game
I don't know how you retards manage to convince yourselves to pay fully for a game that is not complete.
>>336741583
Don't think falcom really care about PC versions, at least not in Japan.
Last game they got was zero.
They may be more open for the English games though.
>>336735809
Why firmware are you on OP?
Previous ones crashed alot of games.
>>336736354
So i hope you didnt infer that you bought a console with little to no games instead?
>>336737603
>>336738656
>>336739760
Whats up with all this bait?
OP is just a bitch.
>>336740986
>Xanadu Next
Oh yes, I will shamelessly shill this one. It helps that I think it's a great adventure action game, and that Falcom hasn't made anything really like it since Brandish: The Dark Revenant 7 years ago (more time since then vs. time between TDR and XaNext). Toxanadu might as well be the new Legend of Xanadu instead of a proper Xanadu game, regardless of quality.
Meanwhile XSEED's contracted a PC port team to work on the Little King's Story project, so they're open to letting unfamiliar but talented people do the hard work (if companies like Marvelous Japan and Falcom allow it). Hopefully LKS on Steam/GOG does well enough to convince both XSEED and the developers they've dealt with.
>>336742239
Japanese PC gaming is largely dead, especially outside the eroge/Western PC game fan community. Steam is sort of heating up as a commonly-used service (not GOG, of course), but old-school Falcom fans are the kind of people who prefer boxed releases any day and have dwindled in number since Windows 95 maimed Japan's proprietary, regional PC gaming market. Falcom's retail PC game distributor SoftBank pulled the rug on them and other developers, so it's literally too much work to distribute boxed games at that former scale vs. developing for handhelds which have even more sales potential. So until PC digital distribution and buying games digitally becomes a convention in Japan, Falcom's not going to do anything for their PC fanbase except offer compatibility fixes/new releases of games for Windows 10 and below/above.
tl;dr XSEED making Falcom PC games viable again doesn't mean shit for the Japanese PC gamers and Falcom's plans with internal PC stuff
>>336735809
Didnt happend to me a single time in 100hours +, you just got unlucky
>>336736506
Probably never
>>336735809
It's just ToCS, its just a shit game.
>>336735809
>every vita game
>this one game crashed this one time
Okay, you sound like whiny bitch.
>>336736506
Falcom has stated that they have "considered" it in an interview somewhere, but still unlikely at this point.
>>336744931
playedbbcp for 100 hours and it just crashed on me today
>>336745336
source?
>>336737603
I love Falcom to death, but even I have to admit that Trails of Cold Steel was a cliche mess. Compared to Gagharv and Trails in the Sky, the game felt like a modern fantasy high school anime or some shit like that.
The last FOURTH was good, because that is when it got really political and interesting, but the overplayed anime tropes bothered the piss out of me.
>>336745336
Hopefully if trails get a bigger fanbase.
If not 3rd would be the least PC he we get.
>>336738478
Celceta was shit and casualized more than Seven.
>>336745581
>I love Falcom to death, but even I have to admit that Trails of Cold Steel was a cliche mess
It's true. I bought the game like 3 months ago and I just cant play it. There is something about it that just turns me off the moment I even think about playing it.
>>336745581
>second game literally starts with home village getting attacked

Website won't load for me, so can't say for sure.
>>336745895
How the fuck do you change his hair color?
>>336745786
It's pretty standard for a normal jrpg,
But coming from trails in the sky its disappointing.
>>336745532
Recent interview on Eurogamer: http://archive.is/V9yVQ
>Is there a possibility of seeing Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I & II appear on PC eventually, perhaps on Steam?
>Toshihiro Kondo: I would like as many people as possible to play these games, so the possibility is definitely there.
>>336745992
Same problem here
>>336745895
What made me cringe was Rean's dialogue. II swear, I think it is 50% motivational speeches.
>>336745679
Not really, no. It even had more elaborate combos and movesets.
>>336746061
gotta cough up for DLC costumes, goy. Or preorder bonus costume in the case of Asia and Japan
>He learned Japanese to play games translated in English already
>>336746078
>It's pretty standard for a normal jrpg
Not really, no. I like JRPGs and I had just finished P4G before Most of /v/ was all over it when it came out but for some reason it just feels like shit to me. Everyone is so nice and unrealistic to each other or some shit and the ones that are against each other feel like a gimmick.
>>336746306
>he's still mad no one like's his shitty estelle or alisa
>>336746163
>gotta cough up for DLC costumes
I already bought the dlc outfits for all characters but all of them look like shit except for maybe one of them. I have the english version though.
>>336745581
How are the other gagharv games?
Played Tov a long time ago. Translation aside plot itself was interesting.
>>336746306
But no one bought them
>>336746306
Stop trying to stir up shit. You're as irritating as the smug retards who complain about "EOPs begging for localizations".
>>336746504
FC sold alright, SC less so but its up to about 20k owners now and hasn't dipped below 20 dollars yet.
>>336746459
Tear of Vermillion is good, Moonlight Witch is my favourite, and Song of the Ocean is boring until the last third of the game.
They all take place over the course of seventy or so years (ToV > SotO > PotMW). If you finished and remembered ToV, PotMW is basically the end result of what the characters in ToV wanted to work towards and SotO is about what caused the conflict of PotMW.
Pretty generic by today's standards, but I like it.It also helps that there are references to Gagharv in Trails in the Sky the 3rd and the Trails of Cold Steel series because the team and president Kondo are made up of HUGE Gagharv fans.
Dumping shots from my recent Xanadu Next playthrough.
>>336746141
I'm not worried anyway. VIII seems to be moving back towards Seven in some ways and even has a solo-style part where you play as Dana. The "tower defense" mini-game is optional, as is most of the bloat associated with recent Ys games, and the NPCs are back to mid-2000s levels of detail and memorability. All that remains is for Falcom to channel the best parts of Nayuta, Toxanadu, and games their older employees have worked on into the Siren Island adventure.
>>336746504
Que? FC's one of XSEED's best-ever sellers, and SC pushed sales of FC on top of guaranteed launch-period purchases by fans. And ToCS has done pretty well for itself on Vita and PS3.
>>336746459
The Gagharv trilogy is considered a classic in Japan, from White Which to Tear of Vermillion to Cagesong of the Sea. We just got doctored, poorly-localized releases that Bamco used to pad their early PSP portfolio, so the problem now is learning Japanese to fully appreciate the games and/or waiting for Tom and XSEED to localize the games.
>>336736506
PC beggar race only two posts on bravo..
The black frame make everything look smaller, I hate it.
>>336746959
Yes, from what Falcom fans that know more Japanese than I have told me, the PSP versions are butchered compared to the Windows versions (removal of sidequests and such).
>>336746950
>>336746959
I would love a remake of the gagharv games. Sadly it seem like it'll never happen.
Damn, wish this board would allow larger filesizes. You get this weapon later on in the game, but I forget which skill it comes with.
>>336747269
I bet there's not even a secret Falcom developer room in Moonlight Witch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOnJR0wFDXA
>>336747434
Kondo really wants to remake White Witch, and then Tears of Vermillion/Cagesong of the Sea because why stop there. He also wants to apply Kiseki's level of detail to the Gagharv stories, which is why he says he'd love to remake them but fears it'll be tough going.
>>336747434
If I had the time, I wo~uld like to fan translate the Windows versions, but I am only a 3rd year Japanese student, haven't gone on my mandatory 10-week study abroad, and I do not think I could find an proofreader/editor to go through all the mistakes I would make. Also I am lazy.
>>336747620
I THINK Kondo is actually trying to tie in Kiseki with Gagharv. There are a few fan theories, but nothing "one hundred percent" other than references here and there.
You can get a flame elemental sword early on in the Eternal Maze, the first of three such weapons that give you passive element skills if you get 100%+ proficiency using them. This box room's only the first of many which could make Old Man Murray blush.
>>336747682
FWIW there's been discussion about translation-hacking the Win9x games over at Heroes of Legend, the board hosting the Ys: Memories in Celceta PC hacking project. I'm not sure how marketable the Win9x remakes will be if and once XSEED gets to them years down the line—let's hope they are so that we can have future-proofed versions of the games to play w/o using older Windows.
>>336747893
Potential's there, at least for a situation where either of the continuities exist on the same planet at different times in the past and/or future. That would take a lot of explaining, yet there have a been Gagharv references hidden in the games so far, maybe Kondo's that crazy.
>>336747682
You could try asking the guys who are working on zero for anything hacking related if you ever decide to.
>you will never play zero/ao on vita
>>336748224
The elemental skills seemed pretty useless to me. The skill that made you move faster and the one that made you attack faster were better.
>>336748224
>>336746959
>>336747620
>>336748417
Trails 3rd also..
>>336746959
I'm really glad Xanadu Next is getting officially localized, the fan translation is buggy as fuck. Really enjoyed the game but about 6 hours in I had to start over from the beginning because any time the game displayed the player name it would cut out all the text for the rest of that box, making the game completely incomprehensible. It was worth the hassle though, really great game.
>>336748565
EVO version
lol, I just realized these Eternal Maze shots are from my first playthrough. Oh well, here I am destroying all the boxes and enemies with some Thunder.
>>336748243
Flamemonkey mainly does PSP hacking and edits scripts from his armchair like he knows what he's doing (hint: not really). The main Windows/PC-98 hackers posting on that forum are Xalphenos and BatteryShark.
>>336748440
Nah, having passive Thunder on makes undead enemies far less annoying to deal with because they won't revive the first time you kill them like usual. That makes the latter part of Eternal Maze and middle part of Castle Strangerock faster to complete, too, if you care about post-game letter ranks.
>>336748550
Not my fault the original max resolution was 1024x768 before someone made a cool widescreen patch. The final dungeon's way more impressive at this resolution.
>>336748624
...That sounds fucked up. Worse, too, you can glitch out when fighting the Master Goblins in Xanadu Labyrinth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOxSISvPEJ8
And one time the game crashed when I was playing the bonus dungeon. Nice of Falcom to include an emergency auto-save returning you to (supposedly) the same room you were in, but now I'm stuck in Time Crevice!
>>336748243
>Guy working on Zero
Heard he's a massive faggot. Something about wanting to make Lloyd Bannings like Shinji Ikari because he thinks it funny or something.
>>336748224
Gods and ghosts exist, and as far as I know, no one knows what's beyond Zemuria, so I can see the possibility. My crackpot theory is that Zemuria is the "ancient Blue Tribe" that eventually destroyed themselves with their own technology. Orbal resonance is a thing, so maybe orbments and quarts were a precursor to the Resonance Stones of Song of the Ocean. To add to that, magic WITHOUT orbments exists, so that would explain El Phildin's magic system. Again, crackpot theory.
>>336748417
Already did, my moon's not that great, but I was able to get by having a good idea of what was going on.
>>336748962
>Not my fault the original max resolution was 1024x768 before someone made a cool widescreen patch
Why use the patch when it makes the game look like shit?
>...That sounds fucked up. Worse, too, you can glitch out when fighting the Master Goblins in Xanadu Labyrinth
That actually happened to me every single time a Master Goblin cast Rolling Blaze, I basically had to rush them down and stun them before they could cast any time one spawned.
>>336748962
>Flamemonkey
Flamethrower and Monkey are two separate people. Based on the Celceta english hack, I trust that the technical side of the english patch for Zero will be fine, I'm just worried the translation itself might not be up to snuff. But hell, anything's better than nothing.
>>336735809
My Vita crashed on Corpse Party Shit Drive (of course) and Atelier Rorona. What's sad is Rorona crashed the moment I got into a random battle and I had only bought the game during golden week. I haven't had a crash on a console or handheld like that before so it was annoying.
>>336749421
Their both part of the heroesoflegends group.
Im not worried about the translation, but just how they plan to write the script.
>>336748980
>Heard he's a massive faggot
That's just XSeed fanboys who can't handle that the lead dev on the fan patch doesn't like XSeed. If you look at the GBA temp thread about the patch, its like 2 dozen pages of people happily praising the project and all the people involved, then the lead dev says he doesn't like XSeed and suddenly every post from that point on is shitting on the project and everyone involved in it.
Granted I think his reasons for not liking XSeed are retarded, he just blindly trusts Nightwolve, but its not a good reason to outright dismiss the project.
>>336749767
No, he's a massive faggot, he hasn't played the games, and he wants to arbitrarily change the names/terminology just to do it differently from Xseed even though most of those are what Falcom officially uses.
>>336749895
Except he's not actually doing that because he listened to the voices of reason and decided that it was a bad idea to make those arbitrary changes. I don't really care if he's an asshole or not, all I care about is how the project turns out.
>>336748980
>Lloyd Bannings like Shinji Ikari
>"Get over the barrier, Shinji."
>>336749212
The particle effects, geometry, font/boxes, and most textures scale well, just not the UI but rarely to any detriment (the enlarged mini-map's broken at higher resolutions sadly). I think it looks great even though Sara could do a better job, and it gives me pseudo anti-aliasing that works better/needs less processing than the game's own solution.
I've been lucky enough to not have the Master Goblin glitch, so hopefully that's easy to fix.
>>336749421
Whoops, I get confused between Flamethrower and Zeromonkey too often. Personally I'd learn Japanese before playing a translation patch with good translation but poor editing compared to the Trails in the Sky releases.
>>336750005
I'm not saying he didn't go back on that stupid shit, but the fact is he was still going to to do it in the first place before people told him it was a bad idea. I only care about how the project turns out as well, but I can't have high hopes when that guy is running the show.
>>336750021
Trails in the Sky FC had a "decent" translation. I was crazy enough to talk to all the NPCs at every point in my third playthrough and I found a good amount of typos (mostly from random NPCs). Really seemed like XSEED knew what a beast they had to work on and just skimped the unimportant parts to save time and money. The PC version had better proofreading done (Hatsuu said on Twitter that she worked really hard on the editing, so I guess they had to do an overhaul on the script).
>>336750021
It still stretches out all the graphics. You aren't getting those extra 500k pixels by playing at 1920x1080 instead of 1440x1080, you're just getting the existing pixels stretched into rectangles.
Also, the master goblin glitch isn't really gamebreaking. You always have enough time to rush them down before they cast. It would only fuck you over on a speedrun since you need to go in and out of rooms over and over just to check for master goblins.

The old art was garbage regardless of having some extra expressions.
>>336750772
And the new art is garbage without having extra expressions.
>>336750828
Yes, but it's slightly less derpy garbage.
>>336750624
I like the newer art, but prefer the older expressions
Agnes should be the protagonist in Xanadu Next: Scenario II or whatever sequel Falcom would make. She's got a bit of Dela Delon, but
>>336750409
XSEED did a lot of fixing for the Steam/GOG release and might be doing the occasional edit or two just to keep terminology/characterization updated, in addition to handling typo reports. They're much better than most localizers when it comes to this.
>>336750483
True, but I barely notice that the game was designed with 4:3 in mind. Benefits outweigh negatives for me, and XSEED will likely perfect the look of this game.
>>336750624
I just wish we could figure out which artist did the in-game portraits, because the promo illustrator, You Shiina, definitely has a different style. Enami did both promo art and in-game portraits for OG Ao/Zero no Kiseki.
>>336751020
Ergo, Falcom should use their mira and contract Enami again.
>>336750970
Nah, it's just as shit. It looks even worse in-game when it's """animated"""
>>336750624
This comparison is kinda unfair. Just watched FC evo let's play so i can say voice acting really helps the character's expression.
>>336750958
Best girl
>>336751171
I haven't seen the animation, but the simple lines do look like they wouldn't lend themselves well to that sort of thing.
>>336751330
There's blinking and mouth-flaps and that's it. That's also probably why there are less expressions, the ones that were removed wouldn't lend themselves well to animation so they cut them out. It's pretty stupid if you ask me, they had varied portraits that looked good and were animated in Zero/Ao Evo so there's literally no excuse for lacking that here.
>>336751276
Ultimately it feels like they've slapped a gigantic drama CD atop the old game, but with "clean" portrait art which isn't as expressive as the voice acting nor the original portraits.
>>336751552
Sounds like Pyramid didn't want to budget for animating the more off-model expressions in a way that makes sense, despite Popful Mail for Mega/SEGA CD doing that decades ago. Enami's portrait style is subdued, less off-model, and so is easier to animate.
>>336747113
it's probably one of those Vita games that doesn't run at full resolution. A lot of games on the Vita don't.
>>336751824
Uh, no, its a cutscene thing.
>>336750005
Guess we'll see when they release it.
They've almost finished translation so it could be out by the end of the year.
>>336751730
>Enami's portrait style is subdued, less off-model, and so is easier to animate.
True, I just wish they'd hired someone who's better at art for FC/SC evo. Katsumi is good, but he can't draw the Sora characters worth shit (Estelle and Renne looked off and Joshua looked terrible), they should have had the same artist that did Ys vs. Sora no Kiseki and Sen do the art for FC/SC evo.

>my little Erebonian merchant can't be this cute!
Is it true that if 3rd is translated they pretty much have to go all in and do zero/ao?
>>336751931
No I know what you meant but in general the game probably doesn't run at full resolution. I know it's only for those talking cutscenes but it reminded me how some games use full resolution as a selling point, like Dragon Quest Heroes 2
>>336752140
The 3rd builds up to Zero/Ao. XSEED has not confirmed anything, but they said "buying copies would probably help". ALso pretty much confirmed that the chances of doing the Evo games are almost nonexistant.
>>336752140
No, but it increases the odds they might. Platform is a major issue though.
>>336752140
3rd mentions the Red Constellation, sets up Osborne's and Ouroboro's keikaku, and hints at the immigration problem and how President Rocksmith will make Calvard great again
>>336752347
If third flops though, no chance.
>>336752140
what grinds my gears is that theyre not doing a psp release of 3rd
>>336752140
It increases the odd.
>>336752482
Not "viable" according to them.
>Translation: 100% complete
>Editing: 100% complete
>Yep! As of today, translation and editing are 100% complete, and the 11,000~ English voice files are 100% checked and ready to go as well. It feels great to have come this far without hitting any major bumps in the road.
I can't believe dubbing the games is the reason why it hasn't released. Not to mention i played it on mute.
>>336752482
Kind of sucks, but these games can run on toasters. Pretty sure most everyone own a computer nowadays. I'm just salty about no physicals... So I just decided to make my own.
>>336752685
>i'm mad because i don't know how to read
>>336752660
Falcom returned their PSP devkits to sony. They have no way of working on a PSP game anymore.
Middle part of Castle Strangerock. Those Harpies in the background are easy to defeat, but not their fireball-spewing brothers in the following rooms.
>>336752140
Not doing Crossbell after everything 3rd reveals about later games would be the worst kind of blue-balling. XSEED's made a point of going beyond the call of duty to please their customers (see localizing Trails SC for PSP years after the platform died outside Japan), so they wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing there's work not yet finished. If the Trails releases so far sell/have sold enough to justify Crossbell localizations, then XSEED's gonna have to figure out how they'll get PC versions of the games ready (ideally by contracting a port team to make Ao's release possible).
>>336752712
Yeah even my cheap $100 tablet can run it perfectly.
>>336752309
It's not like we need the Evo games. Just a minor graphics update and voiced lines.
If they did Evo versions there would probably be a shitfit for full on dub. But if they don't dub whats the point in wasting time and money just slapping on the text translation? Nothing significantly changes in the story.
>>336752685
Most of the VA's aren't bad, in my opinion. But I fucking hate how Alisa was voiced (not talking about the acting quality, just the sound of the voice). Yui Horie > Christine Marie Cabanos. I remember people complaining on the XSEED forum and Tom just saying she sucks or something. Can't remember, this was a while ago.
>>336753041
I meant that Tom said Alisa sucked, not the voice actress.
>>336753000
Some people really want the evo games just because they're fixated on playing the games on the vita. I don't understand it personally, even when I do play handheld games, I always do it at home where I'd rather be playing it on a bigger screen.
>>336753017
I will never understand why people keep going off with the (you) meme. just ignore the dam post.
>>336753041
Alisa is not Nepgear, what
>>336753258
Most people prefer playing RPGs on a handheld.
I understand that, personally I don't really care.
>>336753358
Alisa is Chie
Crow is Cloud
MUH WINDS is Robin or Akaba Reiji
Emma is P5 Adieu
>>336753258
while the Sora Evo portraits look like shit, the voice acting does add an entirely new dimension of emotion to the story. Hearing every one of Estelle's "Andesutte!?" voiced is fantastic
>>336753358
http://legendofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Alisa_Reinford
I don't pay attention to voice actors that much, so I could be wrong and so could the wiki. I just looked up Alisa Reinford and the wiki said CMC.
>>336753451
>Most people prefer playing RPGs on a handheld
I find that very hard to believe. Most japanese people probably but in the west handhelds have never been THE platform of choice for any particular genre except maybe puzzle games.
>>336752660
Not only not viable, it's fucking impossible. Falcom had to pull people out of retirement for SC, you think they'd do that again two years later just for a version that will sell 16 copies when literally everyone who plays it on PSP could easily play it on PC and most of them could probably fucking play it on a tablet/laptop if portability meant that much to them?
>>336753517
New Chie? That's Erin Fitzgerald, NOIRE, not Nepgear.
Cabanos sounds a bit like Cristina Vee, only 10 times worse.
>>336753570
I would probably mute the voice if I played it, I really could not give less of a fuck about voice acting, as far as I'm concerned it does nothing but harm to RPGs.
>>336753690
I think it's because Vita TV is cheap and these people don't want to hook up a computer to a large tv.
>>336753210
Did he really? Based fucking Tom.
>>336753210
Tom telling it like it is as usual.
Now everybody wahts the best Trails track?
>>336753797
the main selling point of the Evo games are the voiceworks. If you don't care for them just play the vanilla version with much better soundtrack too.

Bit more Eternal Maze. I need to load up my saves and get pics of Treacherous Woods, Eaglet Mountains, and Clover Ruins.
>>336753758
And by "pull out of retirement", you mean Kure Eiji, who runs Kure Software Koubou (with former student developers of his) and did the original Kiseki PSP ports. He's really old for Japanese video game developer, having done a ton of NEC PC-x8 wargames (the First Queen series) in his prime. I wouldn't be surprised if XSEED inadvertently forced him to work last year because Falcom didn't do those ports in the first place.
>>336753907
Tom doesn't love Trails that much. He's a Gagharv fan and would be sounding the war cries for Xanadu Next if he weren't busy with Corpse Party at the moment.
>>336754073
Not sure, but I really like Peace Bestowed By Twilight after all this time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uop8Lcp2xs
Obviously it would come down to Azure Arbitrator and other epic themes in the series, but the above's a favorite of mine.

Still a cunt. Not him either, that's just one of many reasons to hate Alisa. Even if she weren't a cunt she's still an uninteresting character.

ahaha no. She has plenty of opertunity and only does so the moment you get forced together.
There's some leeway for understanding, or missunderstanding but 2 weeks and you can't have the guts to say a simple sorry? Not worth my time. Epsically so when there's other girls who can be at the least civil.

>Estelle
>mother died and dad became a workaholic and doesn't pay much attention to her

>Alisa
>same shit, but with the genders reversed
>it's the entire focus of her character after the brief tsun stint at the beginning where she's a huge cunt for no reason and she whines about it constantly, with multiple long scenes of the player being forced to listen to her mommy issues that could have been optional bonding event scenes like the ones Sara has instead
>popular because she's promoted as if she were the main heroine in spite of being irrelevant and because she's hot, not because of her actual character
I wish more of the side stuff was translated for this stuff (drama cds, manga, the non-translated Falcom Gakuen stuff, etc)
Considering buying this just to translate it and put it out there.
For those who don't speak moon, it is Sen no Kiseki: Mental Cross Link. Non-canon "what if the characters swapped bodies" manga. It's comedy, but I eat this shit up.

How can she be the second worst when theres a 4 way tie?
>>336755575
Oh wow, is that Satoru Senda doing the art for Ouroboros Report? Pic related, he did promo art for Xanadu Next. That could also be the in-game shop artist who worked on XaNext too.

>>336755965
Nobody can tie with Alisa though, and I'm pretty sure Fie has the second place locked down.
>>336741226
Toukiden was Omega Force.

Never seen the game crash OP. Doing my 2nd playthrough right now.
I've seen the Vita crash once in the year I've had it.

Its my honest feeling, i still enjoy the game though
My vita crashed the first time I tried Moero, scared the shit out of me. Made me want to never import again.

Best girl: Sharon Kreuger. Best maid.
Second: Sara Valestein. Lovable personality
Third: Angelica because I find her yuri shenanigans funny
Fourth: Towa, since she's nice
Fifth: Fie because so far she hasn't shown any dumb issues and is a badass in story and pretty good in combat
All the other girls are shit tier.
Special mention to Emma who KNOWS what's going on and never says a goddamn word.
>>336756720
I'd fug Sharon and Sara but let's be honest they don't get any significant character development either. One's just a slutty maid the other is beercake.
Would be nice to see more of Sara's dealing with her past as a Bracer andJaeger
>>336756959
I want to fug Laura.
>>336756959
I want to see Sharonand Joshua meet up in CSIII, and have them fight in one of those "misunderstanding fights" since Enforcer fights are always great.
Yeah, Sara didn't have that much development in CS, which was disappointing. But honestly, she seem like the kind of person I'd love to share a few beers with.
All Cold Steels are great!
Great!
>>336757332
Sara would drink your virgin ass under the table. Queer.
>>336756959
That would be nice. Probably a new game set in past northambria with young Sara as MC.
>>336757414
Except for the ones that aren't. Like ToCS for example.
I want to give Rean a harem but I have become dependent of Eliot def/regen skill.
Emma you suck.
>>336757487
Could work as a spinoff game.
>>336757537
That's not a funny meme.
Try again.
>>336756268
I kinda liked Towa though even though I've barely gotten anywhere in the game yet. Though i suppose "small, cute and please help" has been overdone enough as well.
>>336757590
But Elliot is part of Rean's harem.
Also git gud, Emma is great caster.
>>336757487
Are Jaegers legally allowed to operate in the Calvard Republic? I want to see the eventual Calvard arc star Jaeger members. It would deal with the struggles between the public perception of them as nothing but violent thugs, the infighting between the different factions of Jaegers, etc.
>>336757590
Abuse quartz better.
>>336756959
Sara gets all her development in optional scenes that you only get if you do bonding events with her, which is really dumb. However, she's still more fleshed-out than any of the main girls.
>>336757862
Faster, stronger
>>336757887
Not so much "development" than it is "characterization".
>>336757414
They're all pretty terrible characters and all of them are about as developed as the least developed main characters in previous games. Cold Steel has way too much padding and they fucked up by introducing the entire playable cast except Millium at once.
>>336758003
Nah, you actually see a bit about her learning to take her job more seriously and coming to terms with the loss of her friends. However all of that are locked behind scenes that you're basically gimping yourself by viewing.
>>336757862
I don't have any quartz like his craft.
One combination I liked using was
Damage x3 Quartz
Double Damage @ 1st Hit quartz
Attack Up 3
Attack Up 2
All battles were over in an instant, and most boss battles were halfway over.
>>336757618
Or main story. Sara seems to have great past around her.
>Coming from salt region
>Lose her close friends
>Lose her bracers friends
>Had encounter with Enforcers before.
It could be chance to dig deeper into what happened in there too.
>>336758182
Replying to myself
Of course, this was using Laura since she had the highest base attack and using 200 S-Craft on bosses.
>>336744409

>>336758259
In the final dungeon Rean does the most damage with Domination/Vermillion abuse since his S-craft is the strongest.
>>336758319
It's Falcom Gakuen stuff, which isn't canon, takes aspects from characters and cranks them up, or takes jokes and treats the characters as if they were canon for the sake of comedy.
CS was so good, I preorderd the second the moment amazon let me.
>>336758147
And? The crafts can't be edited or changed to suit the charcter or help the group. They are set.
Quatrz offer a ton of customization and let you fix those weakness. There' obviously stuff for AoE def and heals. Not to metion quartz to up defence if your characters are being beat on.

Since we're talking about quartz now, I think I'm in the minority that doesn't really like the quartz system in this game. I get that using the same system over and over again isn't something you want to do for a long running series, but "equip this quartz to get a spell" bothered the shit out of me. I know they changed it so now you can equip the same "type" of quartz more than once now, unlike the previous games, so you can mess with the stats more, but I still prefer the way you had to think out what quartz loadout you needed to equip to get certain spells.
>>336758964
>>336758182
Quartz abuse should be illegal. You'd think... oh hey maybe they fixed things and I can't do
"UWOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
"DRAGON DIVE!"
and oblitherate everything anymore.
And then it only gets worse with more people who can wreck everthing.
what was his name again?
>>336759248

>I get that using the same system over and over again isn't something you want to do for a long running series,
If it ain't broke don't fix it
The new system is basically materia except without the stat debuffs (IE shit). The old system was better but casual faggots whined about having to do simple grade-school arithmetic so they changed it to appeal to a wider audience (IE retards).
Sort of like how everyone in the main cast is just waifu bait now instead of fleshed-out characters in addition to waifu bait.
Just got the recipe trophy earlier. Looks like I'm doing a 3rd playthrough eventually. Need some more of the other students profiles and some monsters profiles.
I'll try to finish before CS II in September.
I started playing Neptunia (on the Vita) a few days ago, and it's glitched two times now. During the dialogue section, the characters simply stop talking. I can press buttons and the icons show up (stop, fast forward, even the text log) but it simply refuses to continue. I had no choice but to turn off the game and restart, losing all progress since my last save. Anyone else have this problem?
>>336759554
Here is what I would do. I would make the system the same, but I would allow the player to make their own quartz. The player is given a set amount of points, which increase as the game goes, and if you want to get certain spells, you need to MAKE the quartz based on the requires elemental points. Depending on how you make your quartz, you will either get spells, stat boosts, or both. That way, you have the strategic element point system of quartz from the old game, and the "just equip this to get the spell" system of CS.
>played Coldsteel from start to finish on my Vita
>never had a single bug or issue with it
works on my Vita lol
>>336759886
I think a better way to do it would just to add quartz with a high elemental value but no effect. That way if you're too lazy/stupid to make a good setup to get spells with real quartz you can just get the spells you want by forfeiting stat bonuses.
But hey, the new system is here to stay because it's been widely praised by the casuals they're trying to appeal to with Sen.

>>336760115
The weird part is that I THINK the whole elemental points from quartz count is still in the game. Does that even do anything if it is?
>>336760326
No it's not, spells are based purely on getting them from quartz.
>>336760296
I'm one of the people who was crazy enough to talk to ALL the NPCs at all times on my first playthrough and ended up S ranking all the chapters.
