I didn't think mixing Trails and Persona would work, but they pulled it off.
well there goes all my interest in this game
Towa best.
>>343541948
Cant wait for more Laura in CS2.
>>343541948
The game was pure garbage for me because it has TOO MUCH dialog. Like holy fucking shit, I just want to beat shit
>>343541948
Literally the best JRPG on the PS3/Vita, with the exception of its sequel (hopefully)
>>343543717
Don't be so cruel to PS3 and Vita, I'm sure they have good JRPGs.

There is now a distinct possibility that Alisa's voice won't suck arse this time around.
>>343544638
why wouldnt it, it's the same actress
I'll never understand you kiseki cucks shilling this shit. I'm enough of a fan of the series that I bought ps3 just for the purpose of playing this shit and no matter how you look at it it's a steaming pile of shit. This must be there only place where you find anyone praise this borderline kusoge garbage
>>343544782
source please
Why is Towa so perfect?
>>343541948
Persona go well in everything
Prove me wrongYou can't
>>343541948
Ruined the series, they should've localized the Ao/Zero ports on Vita instead but XSEED is dumb and sucks nu-Falcom cock.
>>343545971
Persona is the worst, and it ruins everything it touches
It ruined SMT, it ruined fightan games, it ruined EO and it ruined rhythm games
>>343546103
fucking
this
If I wanted to play a dating simulator with a little bit of RPG gameplay in it I would play one of those shitty hentai games. Persona is pure shit because 70% of the game is "being friends" with a video game character. I want to actually play the damn game for god's sake.
>>343541948
Heres hoping it goes on sale next week.
Else I will just buy Golden instead.
>>343547043
They're both good games and they're both really long, especially Golden which would probably take you twice as long to beat as Cold Steel, and Cold Steel is long
>>343545593
>>343547558
Yeah but seeing as I played the original P4 most of the game wouldnt be new.
I rarely replay a game but I plan on buying Golden if it goes on sale someday.
>got the Lionheart edition for $40 a week ago.
I'm enjoying it so far. The main cast is kind of bland but all the comfy world-building and good music is still intact. Only thing that really bothers me is that the new Orbment system fucking screwed over mages. Now single line orbments are a bad thing, what the fuck.
>>343550652
>Lionheart for 40 a week ago
Me too, what a great fucking deal. This art book is meaty as fuck. I've paid $30-40 for similar art books alone
>>343551060
The great thing is that I don't have to worry about buying an LE for CS2 when that comes.
>>343544638
Man, fuck you guys. I like her voice.
I'm going to discuss the ending of Legends of Cold Steel Part 1 now.
Please don't look at this actual spoiler if you don't want to be spoiled.About half way through the game I figured I was heading towards an almost exact recreation of Sky 1's ending where a large political event would take place and the story would take a severe turn, moments before ending the game.
I was right, but what I wasn't expecting was for the game to continue after the assassination of Old Man and the appearance of the radio Witch.
The entire final sequence caught me off guard and I did not expect mechs to actually be playable. I couldn't help laugh at the absurdity of what was happening and the bullshit between Rean Coldsteel and Crow's superfriend loan of friendship and the talking cat jumping into the mech too for no discernible reason. I loved every second of it.
The comparisons to Persona are retarded.
>>343551819
Persona invented calendars and talking to party members.
>>343551819
The comparisons to Persona are understandable given how the popularity of the series took off with 3 and this game was clearly influenced by it.
>>343552178
No they aren't. They're only similar in very superficial ways that are common in the genre.
>>343552397
I don't know what to say other than that it takes a special kind of retard to think that this game wasn't influenced by Persona's success.
>>343552564
I thought it felt more like the game Final Fantasy 8 was trying to be than anything Persona did.
>>343543537
you're playing the wrong genre bub
>>343551819
>>343552397
>playable cast is made of high schoolers
>game paced throughout a school year in the game's world
>can participate in dating sim-esque events with your party members that provides support benefits in combat
>a significant portion of the game consists of your gradually crawling through a labyrinthine multi-floor dungeon during the night
I can see why the comparisons happen. It's not exact mind you, since CS doesn't have an equivalent to Personas (the Arcus Orbments/Master Quartz grant each character their powers but they don't represent the their 'Inner selves') and the high school setup only takes up 1/3rd of the trilogy's story.
>>343552564
Given that the events of the game have been foreshadowed since 3rd and the Calendar specifically lands on dates that tie into Zero and Ao, I think the way the game is structured has been planned for a very long time.
>>343541948
Anyone else find the end to be fucking stupid? They were making such a big deal to clear the old schoolhouse because of a fucking school festival and then all of a sudden the Erebonian leader guy dies cause of C. Mechs come out of nowhere and it ends at such a cliffhanger.
>>343543348
Laura best girl, ties with Towa. Smart, honorable, recognizes her own faults, isn't unprofessional with Fie when they had issues, strives to improve without being jealous of the strenght of others.
I was very pleaseantly surprised by this game. I considered buying it when it first came out, but looked at gameplay videos and thought it looked like crap.
Apparently forgot about that a few months later, saw it was 40, and decided to buy it. Played the intro and let it sit during the weekend, thought nothing special of it. Kept playing, it somehow clicked and I had a blast with it. Biggest surprise of the year.
>>343553613
I found the Trails series in general hard to get into but once it clicks you just want more of it. Dropped FC like 10 times cause of the boring ass prologue.
>>343553902
>Dropped FC like 10 times cause of the boring ass prologue.
FC is the boring ass prologue of SC.
>>343553852

>>343553852

>>343554065
It is if you compare them like that. FC become enjoyable for me when they hit the second town. SC is even better but I think the beginning chapters for it when revisiting all the Towns and playing scoobydoo were boring. When Walter was introduced it god good. Point is, there are several boring moments but it'll get good.
Why is a random NPC cuter than the girls on the main cast?
Why does she get a more interesting story arc than half of them?
35 hours in and I'm really getting tired of this game's pace

>>343541948

>>343555393
You go to towns, get some quests to do, and solve a main conflict for each chapter. There is no school anymore and you can travel anywhere.
>>343555386
Can't argue with that.
>>343555591
Heard the story is complete dogshit for this but gameplay is ok.
>>343554824
I like the part where they switch hairstyles to see if anyone notices.
>>343555312
Kiseki does a good job engrossing you in its world, that's why I love it so much. Plus it's one of the few RPG series where things don't always escalate to world-saving or god-killing, just regional conflicts.

>Trails and Persona
I didn't realize idiots think persona developed private actions, character side quests, party interactions, etc.
I enjoyed it. The story is predictable, but the world-building is great.
However, it was so easy to become OP at the end, even on Nightmare mode. Regular battles at end-game weren't even relevant because of megalith + dominance. Even in the mid-game, there were a few quartz that restored EP very easily in the field so you could just spam AoE arts all day.
Which one would youfug?
>>343543537
This series is infamous for its amount of dialogue.
>>343559805
Still wondering how that Luciola outfit work. Also they need to make a family picture or something.

Why the fuck does this game have a forced dub? Turned me off from the start, the voices had no emotion in them whatsoever.
>>343562114
You can jump in but there will be references that go over your head
>>343562114
It helps if you've played both localized Trails in the Sky games before, but jumping right in shouldn't be that bad.
>>343562186
licensing was too expensive. Even the JP version had trouble with the budget for voice acting which is why Rean is unvoiced in a lot of cutscenes

>>343563174
It's one hell of a long shot, but Sen III could feature that.
Probably not though.
>>343562186
I thought the dub was pretty good aside from Alisa, but that kind of worked once you thought of her as a bitch. Sean Chiplock nailed it as as Rean, but I might be biased because of those vocaroos he did for /v/.
>>343563280
>know it all who will never tell you anything and is always ahead of you.
Sounds like most major Trails NPCs.
>>343563345
Maybe not the dialogue, but the overall story so far is pretty great. International politics and all the fallout that comes with it.
>>343563345
Yes. The series has a lot of thought and care put into it's world building, you can even read full in-game fiction novels and newspapers

Picked up Trails in the Sky and FF7 during the steam summer sale. Which one should I play first?
>>343563906
FF7 if you haven't played it.
It's both excellent and a complete game in itself. Like it wraps up perfectly and no other games or movies bring up the characters and plot ever again. It stops after the game ends.
Trails is ongoing and the series isn't translated, waiting to start is a good idea because if you finish what's out you will be left wanting for more.
>>343563906
FF7 has brisker pacing so it'll be easier to get through

>>343571840
Someone who just reached Chapter 2 yesterday was complaining about Machias giving Rean shit for not being forthcoming about his parents in spite of the shitty way Machias was acting during the prologue.
There was a very long argument about how it was supposedly unreasonable for Rean not to trust Machias, and how he and Jusis had some sort of obligation to prove his attacks on noble society wrong
