Why_did_you buy her game?
I bought Kevin's game instead.
>>340235935
I didnt
I pirated that fucking game and still regretted it. Barebones minimum of turn based JRPGs
>b-but waifus
>b-but muh story
Go read fucking fanfiction.
>>340235935
Cause I was told by /v/ it had a great story with a fully fleshed out world. Where every npc dialoge felt meaningful and every character was nicely developed.
Instead I got a boring rpg with shallow mechanics, an underdeveloped world and the definition of a generic weeb story.
It was a trap. And I fell for it.
>>340235935
I heard it hyped for years over how great it's story was.
I actually played through both games, and to summarize:
First 80% of each game: Super slow Scooby Doo slogs through villager's menial tasks for them, generic 1 dimensional characters form relationships based their single personality traits clashing
Last 20% of each game: Holy shit this is great! Why the fuck didn't the game just keep this pacing the entire time?
Seriously, the primary plotline of the series is actually pretty entertaining, albeit a little cliched, but you don't actually get to see more than a tiny drip-drop of it once every 5 hours of horrible filler content that has no other purpose than to lengthen the game and the very end of each game.
If you choose to play these, I HIGHLY recommend you use Cheat Engine to fastforward the vast majority of the boring shit, especially since probably 50% or more of your playtime will be incessant backtracking through areas you've already completed 100 times.

Guessing these are their e3 announcements
>>340237989
SC is a lot faster-paced and has much more signinficant happenings, FC is essentially a 60-hour prologue.
>>340238958
No it's not. SC is faster for the first 10% of the game, and gets you hyped up for a real adventure, then you end up going right fucking back to doing menial tasks, except they shove a villain at the end of each menial task chain conveniently.
Loved the end of the game though. The floating city was incredibly good.
>>340239093
Same here, really looking forward to 3rd even more than sen2
>>340239370
I actually find the Sen pacing much better than TitS, and even though its literally the most generic characters ever made, they're more endearing.
>>340235935
Played it for the greatest vidya love story ever told. Was not disappointed.
>>340238535
Definitely not Tokyo Xanadu
Akibas Beat and Fate extella it seems.
>>340235935
Because I heard from /v/ that it was a solid game with a fun story. I wasn't disappointed and I'm on chapter two of the second game. I'll be buying the third one when it comes out too.
>>340235935
the battle theme, sadly every thing else was shit
>>340239643
It helps that the sen games are shorter in comparison.
>>340237989
I am playing FC right now. I actually enjoy doing the quests for the villagers and what not. Makes you feel like you are actually a part of the world and not just some guy who becomes a badass hero within the first 10% of the game.
That being said the game is a turn based old school RPG, So if you don't like those games than the series is not for you.
>>340241356
This. While SC was the better game simply because of the volume and the character interactions, FC is magical in that it feels like a couple of young adults getting started in the world. You really feel as if you're no big deal, and that the 'climax' is something you accidentally stumbled into.
It's -- and I fucking hate this word but I'm going to say it anyways -- 'comfy'.
>>340242105
I actually hate how everyone hates the word comfy now. I get that it's used so much it's started to lose some of it's meaning, but it's such a perfect term to describe games that are fun and relaxing.
>>340243248
>>340242105
If I liked trails what other 'comfy' games would you recommend?
>>340243973
Dragon Quest in general. I like V a lot.
Lunar also.
>>340244310
Guess I should I finally start lunar then.
Ps1 or PSP?
Because I wish I had a girlfriend
>>340243973
>>340244310
I just started playing Dragon Quest VII a few days ago (3DS version) and I definitely get that same feel of adventure that Trails in the Sky gave me.
>>340244749
Ps1 is best version.
>>340244945
PS1 is worst version. Fuck Working Designs.
>>340245057
RIP Working Designs
>>340237619
This to be honest family
>>340235935
I brought the first game. Got midway through it and then found out I missed some stupid book that's needed to get the best weapon in the game and they are missable items that you can never get again once passed the chapter.
I dropped the game there. Didn't help that it was pretty boring so far anyway.
>>340235935
Pirated it first, but ended up buying both games after. Well worth it.
To support the series. Without it we won't get any more of the games.
Cutest doomguy
>>340249267
>People actually hated the translation
Was fucking hilarious. It's a fucking loli on super soldier serum who wields a giant ass scythe and has a giant ass robot as a 'parent'. She's already the dumbest character in the game, might as well go the whole hog.
>>340238535
Welp, no Crossbell until at earliest 2018 then.
>>340249530
She had a hard life
>>340251260
>>340249267
It's sad there's some people still playing FC in here getting spoiled. I went into FC and SC completely blind just looking for a cute love story and the twist at the end of chapter 3 completely caught me off guard. It should have been obvious in hindsight but damn.
>>340238958
>FC is essentially a 60-hour prologue.
Is more like a 30 hours. I skipped all sidequest besides the ones in the first city and I ended up with a time around that.
>>340247213
You can miss out on heaps and still finish the game just fine.
The game starts slow but improves at about halfway in.
>>340253112
>but improves at about halfway in.
I would say it gets good when Richard is revealed to be the bad guy. Before that it was pretty boring.
>>340251260
she's a slut
>>340255051
Renne a pure! PURE!
>>340255326
pure girls don't rip other people's guts out with their bare hands
>>340237989
>generic 1 dimensional characters form relationships based their single personality traits clashing
Trails fleshed out its characters pretty nicely, even though they all had some anime trope as a base.
>but you don't actually get to see more than a tiny drip-drop of it once every 5 hours of horrible filler content that has no other purpose than to lengthen the game and the very end of each game.
Maybe if you're doing some hardcore sidequesting. Yeah, the story progresses slowly, but the game taking its time to develop the characters/setting and set everything up doesn't equate to "filler".
>If you choose to play these, I HIGHLY recommend you use Cheat Engine to fastforward the vast majority of the boring shit, especially since probably 50% or more of your playtime will be incessant backtracking through areas you've already completed 100 times.
The fuck, you can get through both games ignoring most enemies and you almost never need to backtrack.Considering how vague your post was, I'm not sure you actually played either game.
>>340235935
Because I love Estelle!
>>340255852
There's many kinds of purity.
I liked Estelle's FC outfit better than her SC one. The skirt and color scheme just don't seem to fit her.
>>340255984
CHOROI CHOROI
>>340256265
what does she mean by this
I liked the Ys games on steam and this went 50% off so I bought it and loved it.
>>340256451
Other way around for me. Liked Trails so I decided to try out Ys.
>>340249530
She's one of the best-written characters in the series and the localization kind of ruined one part of her character.
>>340257573
What did the speaking in the third person thing actually add?
>>340257697
it's not speaking in third person, it's changing her personality from cold calculating killer machine to Doomguy
>>340257697
Third person has nothing to do with it, it's more about how they made her sound like Doomguy instead of a cold machine/puppetwhich is what her dialogue is supposed to sound like.
>>340257573
Was that xseeds fault or the translators?
>>340237619
Ha! are you me?
>but it gets better 15 hours in
Fuck you /v/, I wasted 3 hours on this bullshit. It's garbage. Including the story and dialog.
>>340257956
I have no idea. I know Hatsuu was the one who changed Renne's dialogue to first person (which is one change I actually agree with after reading the long email she wrote to someone asking about the logic behind it and playing the game, it really is better than leaving it in third) but I don't know if Doomguy Renne is leftover from CF's translation or if it's something Xseed did. I want to say it was CF, but Xseed does occasionally Flanderize characters, so I can't rule them out.
>>340258182
I don't know either but Xseed did end up editing and fixing some of the script so it might've been something they decided.
Does kiseki series have their own festival?
>>340237619
So it's the Japanese equivalent of the Fable series?
>>340235935
it was pretty boring
i couldnt get by the fact that
>GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS
and just deleted it
>>340259929
I dont get what you mean.
Are you referring to the in game festivals?
Reminder that Cold Steel made these games popular and profitable in west.
>>340235935
It looked like a fun JRPG and the girl was pretty cute. I was not wrong on either.
>>340260242
No, the story is linear. It's good for fans of traditonal jrpgs.
>>340260762
>No, the story is linear
So, like Fable?
>comfy is a meme
>comfy is a hated meme
fuck that shit, this game is comfy as fuck and that's why I like it
>>340251418
Renne was completely fucking obvious going in blind, if that's the twist you're talking about you're a goddamn idiot
>>340260884
you dont make any morality choices like Fable. In Sen's case, being a nice guy moralfag all the time can be boring.
>>340260752
Saved by Alisa's game.
thanks /v/ for getting me into it, I love it
>>340262935
>>340260752
>This is what Coldsteel cucks believe
>>340264019
Why young Schera?

Memory Door flashback
>>340235935
Sometime told me it was good
Turns out its not. Got to the last chapter before just not being able to take how padded and un-involved the whole thing was.
I've bought FC, SC and Cold Steel and I will buy the rest too. I love the nightmare mode in this game, the writing is top notch and Estelle is top bae.
>Mueller in nightmare mode
>>340235935
Because people told me it was great
And it was everything they told me it was
>>340235935
Certainly not for her.
>shit on Olivert
If I could permanently kill her off, I would.
>>340237619
Typical generic insults from someone who didn't play the game.
>>340265701
> I love the nightmare mode in this game
I hope you've lubed up
>>340265701
>I love the nightmare mode in this game
If only starting out SC wasn't such a waste of time. Literally forced to grind shinning poms and make/buy throwing consumables before you lose shop access.
>>340269368
That's my only complaint yeah. They made the prologue an itty-bitty too difficult. Once you get past that hump though the rest is fun. And FC nightmare mode feels pretty much perfect. Cold Steel is a bit too easy (I 100% it at my first blind try) so that's a shame, but at least it's better than your average jrpg.
Anyway, the gameplay mechanics feel like they properly come together first when you play nightmare mode. Before that you can just spam aerial through 90% of your game.
I also really, really like that you don't have to grind these games (besides SC prologue)
>>340269368
Damn Kurt
>>340270145
it's a shame that shiny pom are removed from game and only appearing if you buy shining pom bait though. It's not the exp, it's the novelty of encountering rare monsters every once in a while.
>>340249267
Cutest doomguy but not the sexiest doomguy
>>340271000
New character?
Is she from the 3rd or zero?
>>340271308
Ao.
>>340271732
Oh thanks, will be awhile till we see her then.
Optimistically 2019-20, unless she shows up in CS3.
