I'm buying Estelle's game feature guest star Estelle. But that's not till 2017, right? Haven't even seen any Xseed updates on it.

Rean's game is only a few months away. The artbook with CS1 said all the 7's get split up and do their own thing in CS2. I assume Rean goes around in his robot and touches on each group?

Hello, I'm here to say that I've played through FC and am currently playing through SC and this is undeniably one of my favorite JRPG series' ever. Some fights are kinda bullshit, but the game is fun, the story is fantastic, the characters are great, and the world building is done so well I forgot it was a JRPG.

I'll come back to these threads after I've finished SC as well as Cold Steel.

I don't know, I might. I need to play the first two still. Was going to play them in English because what little I've played of FC (just up to completing the test in the sewers and watching Cassius leave, it was just a little test run), the localization seems great. I even watched a video of the Evo version up to that point and nothing too crazy was done to the dialogue except one bit that was more liberal than anything else I'd seen in that small portion. But I've heard that the localizers fuck with Estelle's character in SC, so I might play them in Nip, and if that's the case, it'll probably be a year from now as after 30 something games in Japanese (most of them being JRPGs) in less than two years, I'm a bit tired of them.

>seems really tinfoil-hat for anyone to say that w/o script comparison(s).

It's hard to say. I've heard people say good things about a shit localization and vica versa. It's also hard to judge a localization by the beginning of the game. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth's seems pretty good at the start from what I've seen, but from what I've heard and seen, it goes to shit later.

Also, Cold Steel 3 is still in development. Maybe Rean will stop being fujobait and then you can end with Sara the way all people of good taste want.

The localization is good with a few minor exceptions. The original script of FC that's in the PSP version is bad. It was rushed as fuck and only had a single editor and one freelance translator. That's been mostly fixed in the PC version of the game. The translation is good, and most of the stuff CF fucked up was fixed by Xseed's editors, with one exception being a certain villain, where half of her lines are made 10x edgier than they're supposed to be in the localization making her sound like comic Doomguy at times.

People with good taste don't want Rean to be the MC of Sen III and want as little of Class VII in the game as possible.

>where half of her lines are made 10x edgier than they're supposed to be in the localization making her sound like comic Doomguy at times.

That's pretty common. I didn't realize just how common until I learned to read Japanese and started translating myself. I'm willing to make changes in order to sound more natural, I don't care if I have to change sentences a bit or even names to make sure it sounds good, but I never do more than I need to. I know some people who, while they're very good translators when they want to be, sometimes basically turn to re-writting some things because it's more fun. I entertainment localizers do it for the same reasons, and it seems many of them are barely supervised and can do whatever they want, so they figure, why the fuck not? And some of them just want to be writers but suck at it, so they try to achieve their goal by shitting all over localizations, like Plus Alpha.

I think a 24 episode series could work though. Cut out all the random fights and you could fit it in. Spend 2 episodes per field study, one episode of school hijinks in between the field studies, showing Rean interacting with the cast. Hell, they could throw in a random beach episode and still be alright.

I'm not saying they'd have to be working on them right away, but perhaps it could be an announcement regarding some preliminary steps required to take on before they begin the process.

They apparently weren't given the option with how poorly SC sold on PSN.

Next to nobody wants a series that is partly physical and partly digital, PSP's PSN is going away, and they will never be able to put out the Vita ports of the games anyway, so the only option left that will make them any money is the PC version fixed up to match the PSP additions.

>where half of her lines are made 10x edgier than they're supposed to be in the localization

I honestly feel so relieved that I got Sen1&2 instead of Cold Steel's Lionheart edition. After playing the game in japanese and then comparing it to the lines of the english version made me cringe. Jusis and Gaius seem fine but everyone else felt like they got a 4kids treatment and/or sounded way more edgy than before.
Millium and Towa completely lose their charm with an English voice and Fie goes from "I don't mind/ Serah, you're too ____." to "Whatever/hands off."
I've also had no problem with Horie Yui's Alisa but after seeing how her lines were handled in english I can see why so many people are annoyed by her
>>
>>339663334
Buying both even though I've had both versions of the first game, the PC version of the second, and the Vita version of nothin personnel 1 all since their own release dates and haven't even started the first game.

Renne's localization objectively slaughters the point of her character in her edge mode.

So is Falcom returning to PC via Steam for sure this time? Will more games in this series release on it?
>>
>>339697181
Falcom's not developing anything expressly for PC right now, or in the near-future. They're having a hard time adapting to multiple Sony consoles, so their programmers have their hands tied. What I'm hoping for is that Falcom will make their games easier to port to PC, along with a tighter relationship with XSEED (and Marvelous by extension). Day-and-date international releases will probably only happen if the good news keeps coming for a decade and a half. I just want the developers to get back to late-2000s experimenting and smaller games in-between the blockbusters.
>>
>>339697181
No, what makes you say that?

Sora games were pc to begin with.
>>
See what really gets me is how some of the characters in the series (that's based in political intrigue for the most part) are just complete fucking dumbasses. I mean, it's frustrating when I can be a literal nobody in the game universe and probably resolve everything within a couple minutes because all the heroes are fuckups. The villains are no better, but they just exploit how fucking dumb the heroes are. This is especially prevalent in Cold Steel.

>"P-PCuks don't buy games!"

Irrelevant, games are being ported only because they are profitable. Even if it seems like sales are low, it keeps happening only because those sale bring income so you should stop with this meme of posting statistics you think mean anything.

And yet you haven't said a damn thing about the actual writing. You may not like the characters, but their lines are well-written. The dialogue brings the characters to life in a way that you don't see in other RPGs, especially not in RPGs the size of Trails. That's what sets these games apart.

I believe the ps3 is still pretty popular there. Dragon Quest Builders and star ocean are releasing on it.

>>339698860
>if you think writing for SC is bad
Never said it was bad, just nothing special/average.

I enjoyed both games in the series (6/10 and 7/10 respectively), music is great and they have some really well interconnected stories, making the world well detailed enough, but the writing wasn't the magnum opus of JRPG like fans of the series said, or at least it wasn't in these two games.

>You are gonna really gonna like zero/ao and CS
Wasn't Zero apparently the best in the series or something along those lines though?

>>339698904
>And yet you haven't said a damn thing about the actual writing
I complained about the lack of originality and the pointless use of bad humor (Estelle can be fun sometimes though)

>You may not like the characters, but their lines are well-written
They're alright I guess, but their behavior and reactions have done a gazillion times already.

>Wasn't Zero apparently the best in the series or something along those lines though?
The general consensus is that SC is unmatched in terms of storytelling.
While Zero is much better than FC or CS 1 in that regards, in the end you can't not tie it up with Ao, which has a lot of weak links here and there.
>>
>>339699373
I'm not exaggerating at all. I grew up playing JRPGs, and today I play them exclusively. Trails is one of a kind in terms of the sheer amount and the quality of text/dialogue.
>>
>>339699373
>pointless use of bad humor
This has to be blamed on the fact that it's a translated game. Japanese and english aren't similar enough and causes a lot of lines to feel unnatural and not humorous.

>I think you're exagerating way too much
That's not true. The series is famous for giving even the pointless characters a bunch of dialogue and their own tiny story. Thus bringing them to life.
>>
>>339699649
I see. I thought it was better than the rest in every single area. If SC is the best one in terms of writing, then I'm a bit disappointed then.

>>339699872
>I'm not exaggerating at all. I grew up playing JRPGs.

Same thing here. My first RPG was Secret of Mana actually.

>Trails is one of a kind in terms of the sheer amount and the quality of text/dialogue.
Amount of dialog? I'm not disagreeing with that.
Quality? Meh. It's alright.

It seems to me that Trails detractors tend to focus on the fact that there isn't a whole lot about Trails that is particularly new or unique. The thing is that kind of misses the point. Trails takes the same things you see in other JRPGs and perfects them. The series takes them to another level. It's not "just a generic JRPG" - it would be more accurate to say that it is the best form of what you would expect a typical JRPG to be.
>>
>>339700319
Thanks m8. For FC a save after the boss after getting Olivier's final quest done and it was good.

>>339700438
>Trails takes the same things you see in other JRPGs and perfects them
I would say it's less "perfect them" and more "makes them bigger". Quality =/= Quantity.

no but really I haven't said anything about it retelling sky's story. What I'm talking about are twists.
For example, Antagonist actually has a dark past and isn't really that bad
pattern is being abused on every single antagonist that has appeared. There's nothing refreshing about them because the pattern's so obvious and it makes the story far from perfect
>>
>>339701912
>Antagonist actually has a dark past and isn't really that bad
ermm.. This isn't just a "pattern," bro. That's how the real world is. People don't just decide to be bad guys for no reason. Loewe didn't join Ourobouros for no reason. Crow didn't lead the ILF for no reason.

Simply "being evil" isn't a motivation in the real world. In the real world, there are reasons for why people do things, and there is more than one side to a person. Trails is just reflecting that in their storyline.

Sure, if you ignore the """""""""""side content""""""""""", which almost no one does. It's just that you can, since all of them are relevant to current and future games except for one memory door that everyone is still confused by.
>>
>>339704062
The memory doors are part of the 'side' content? 'cause those are what I'm looking forward to most.
>>
>>339704309
There aren't any traditional side quests in 3rd like in FC/SC/CS1. I'm pretty sure the person that made that and others have said that the "side content" in that picture for 3rd are the "optional" memory doors. Anyways, people that tend to like 3rd, like it because it's mostly story telling with dungeon crawling. There isn't any questing. IIRC there is one type of memory door are the only ones that are required to advance the story. There are three (star,moon,sun)

Everyone will eventually address what happened in Crossbell with fortresses disappearing and armies being destroyed.

And you can bet that no country is going to admit to having that technology.

>>
>>339719996
This I can see, specially with how a lot of the technologies Ouroboros like to use like the mechs will probably start becoming more common place after Sen 2 and that will lead to further shifts in the status quo in the region.

pure autism. i didn't know where to go for my fix so i bought into this hype i knew nothing about. hey sometimes it works knowing absolutely nothing about a game going in. if it ends up being a really good game, it makes for a more memorable experience.
anyways cold steel. i don't understand how you people play, let alone put up with this garbage.
it keeps fucking happening, too. eternal sonata, tales of FRIENDSHIP, star ocean: this game sucks edition
every year i get memed just because i want to play a game as good as i remember final fantasy being when i was a kid, and i fall for it every goddamn time.
