Minigame edition.
Can't beat Alisia at Blade
>haha
What did they mean by this?
I'm on chapter 1 and this seems like high fantasy Persona with double the budget and no Personas.
I hope P5 can be as big as this.
Voices are bearable except for Alisia don't get me wrong I love tsunderes but her English VA gives my ears cancer. Xseed better get Jap voice license in their next falcom games.
>>321430271
I don't think you know what "double the budget" means.
>>321430443
Yeah...
Towa is cute and my waifu
Is there any point in using my bond points on Towa?
I'm pretty sure she isnt playable
>>321433164
Just do it for the trophy or some shit, she's not playable until 2 for one fight and the EX-dungeon
Any of you playing the Undub version, just finished the prologue and it feels like Rean's voice is missing
>>321434025
Rean is voiced whenever he feels like its good to be voiced which is mainly the plot. It was like that in the Japanese version.
>>321430378
Voices are overall good, except Alisa (which is a shame)
she sounds like Tress Macneille's Gadget
>>321434563
Oh thats good to hear i guess, thought my game was wonky
>>321434908
How come they gave the best girl a crappy VA who failed at Acting School, this is cheap and unacceptable.
>>321430378
Fie and Rean are Father and Daughter.
>>321435693
If it makes you feel any better I think Alisa's VA said she did does not want to be listed. So at least her VA knows she is crap.
>>321435943
If she voiced her again in Trails of cold steel II, I'm raiding Xseed.
Who is the Agate/Randy in this game and are they better?
>>321429241
pssh
>>321438060
If you are talking about who has the craft to sacrifice hp for cp then Gaius but CP is much easier to gather in Sen/ColdSteel.
I wonder who will do the voice for her.
The wind is great, may the wind bless you.
>D-Dubs are fine
>F-Fucking weebs
>W-What's the point of Japanese audio if you don't understand it
>J-Japanese voice actors are just as bad
>D-dubs are rarely bad
>FUCK I DONT WANT TO READ LEAVE ME ALONE
>>321440716
Why are you quoting?
>>321433164
Cold Steel had one last event where you choose a waifu to dance, you can select Towa if you have high bond.
When you load your savedata in Cold Steel II you can see new events with Towa there and she is playable but just in the last dungeon. Can still be chosen for last night events.
Does this game spoil the other games
>>321430378
I was called a fucking weeb and insulted everywhere else just when I pointed out that the japanese dub its still superior. For Christ sake, even hatsuu wanted the japanese voices for her favourite seiyuus but obviously said it was impossible and that she will give her best effort in make the english ones tolerable.
>>321443729
Is directly related to Ao no Kiseki, both games happen at the same time. They dont spoil the trails trilogy except for Olivier identity.
>>321443729
Yes.
Then again, not like TITS setting twists weren't obvious as fuck to begin with if you ever played a jrpg ever.
Also
>Dat portrait
WHY
>>321430378
Can't the recording company hates Gaijins, the only way to get dual audio is if Falcom goes international.
>>321443960
You're posting on the most cancerous board on 4chan, you'll get called a weeb for liking anything Japanese.
>>321443729
Yes but only minor stuff if you don't pay attention to the news which shows what is going on in Zero in Crossbelll
Ao majorly spoils Cold Steel 1 and Cold Steel 2 but you will be confused playing Cold Steel 2 without Ao
>>321443546
But I want to dance with Jusis.
>>321444436
You can go full homo if you want
>>321443729
I hear it spoils some of Zero/Ao but Zero/Ao also spoil some of Cold Steel
>>321444595
Buying lube now.
Will Claire be killed off in sen 3 because they don't have a Japanese voice actor for her?
>>321444992
Probably demote her to NPC and keep her non voiced, they'll make someone else replace her as a guest character.
>>321444595
I'm thinking of destroying Eliot boypussy. Him or Crow.
Jusis and Machias can go fuck themselves.
Then again, is it really gay if it's Eliot?
>>321445461
It is if you play the eng dub since he doesn't sound like a fuccboi like the jap voice. Crow is canon love interest anyways.
>>321444595
Oh shit buying tomorrow.
>>321429241
>made the mistake of getting it for the PSTV
Kill me.
>>321448676
How is it on vita?
>>321448836
I wouldn't know, but you should work on your reading comprehension.
>>321449061
That was rude.
>>321446441
>this pic still isn't uncensored
>>321449394
Would you rather I tell you to fuck off and learn to read?
>>321446115
10/10
>>321449808
Wow what's next? Going to tell me to kill myself?
>>321448836
Vita is fine, I think the issue is that it doesn't work on PSTV yet
>>321448676
Didn't they say they already fixed that?
>>321450306
I swear Xseed said it does work on it
>>321450306
It works. It just looks and runs like shit. I know the PS3 version isn't much better, but I imagine it'd at least look better on a Vita.
>Rean protesting too much at homoerotic literature in a European boarding school

>Dialogue use the ugly 3d models for them
why
>>321452881
Shit voice.
>>321453806
Alisa's voice sounds too high pitched, Laura's dull voice kinda fits her character.
>>321453806
>I don't get why people are singling out the tsundere's VA
Because Alisa a shit
>>321454360
This. She is a cunt.
Are there hidden quests in CS?
>>321454863
yeah.
there's always one hidden in the evening portions of free days after you're done with old schoolhouse exploration, so be sure to talk to everyone.
>>321432884
those mediocre 3d models made me go for the Vita version.
I hope they up their game for the 2nd, 3rd? game...
This loli is such an adorable qt. I just want to give her a big hug and laugh at her silly antics.
>>321455272
>Falcom
>graphics
What?
>>321450570
>It just looks and runs like shit.
Why do people keep saying this? I play it on PS TV and it runs flawlessly AND looks good.
>>321445278
>>321455276
She is just looking for a new sugar daddy mate. Let Jusis take care of her.
Okay why the fuck does everyone keep laughing?
I'm near the end of SC and i'm getting depressed that it's ending. And CS is releasing at the end of january for yurocucks. Fuck me.
>>321450306
Did you not patch it? There was supposed to be a day one patch for the playstation tv.
>>321456237
Because it's true. There are framerate drops anytime the camera attempts to pan around an area, and both versions of the game in general look like a mess.
>>321456237
It runs good and it looks OK,
I guess it would look better on the Vita screen.
>>321456642
Maybe for autists, but I haven't noticed ANY issues. I'm very happy with how it plays on my pstv.
>>321456697
Yeah my TV doesn't look anything like that. It looks great for me. What TV do you use? Mine is just a 24 inch 1080p. Maybe that's why?
Some of you guys are alright.
Don't visit the Noble's dorm if you're in Trista tomorrow.
>>321456831
That's probably because you play GUST games with their framerate drops or some other series with more severe framerate than Falcom games. Even the PS3 versions of the Dusk series have framerate drops.
>>321450090
Have you considered it?
>>321456959
Are you admitting to a crime?
>>321456984
Nobody gives a fuck about fps in rpgs, its not call of duty you autist
>>321456934
Asus Monitor, using a shit camera.
I thought the graphics looked horrible at first, but I'm kinda used to them by now.
>>321456984
I have no idea what the fuck you just said
Like I said, maybe for autists, but it works and looks great for me
>>321456831
Then you're easy to please. The framerate drops and a complete lack of anisotropic filtering turns the game into a blurry mess. These are undeniable facts.
It's really like I'm playing Skies of Arcadia again with slightly better textures ans character models. That's how bad it looks.
>>321457121
speak for yourself you dumb autist for not noticing obvious issues
>>321457228
Okay captain autismo, whatever you say.
>>321457265
He called me an autistic!
Better call him one back!
might get a Vita in a couple of days, should I get the one with the OLED screen or LCD?
>>321457383
it takes one to know one
>>321457383
>>321457307
>>321457265
>>321457175
Sure is a lot of autism around here.
>>321457402
Oled. Don't get that faded LCD shit
>>321456959
But Machias is gay for Jusis who is a noble.
>>321457228

I own both, they perform pretty much exactly the the same, but keep meming.
>>321457402
OLED for picture quality fags
LCD for anything else.
>>321457450
What grade are you in?
>>321457526
Yeah but Machias settled for Elliot. Jusis is too married to work.
>>321457604
what so i dont bully a child like yourself?
>>321457535
Yes, both versions look like shit. I've said as much already.
>>321457535
what are you on? they all look bad
no excuses
>>321457697
Jusis moved on he likes Rean or Gaius now.
>>321457698
That doesn't make sense, at a grammarly level. You're dumb.
>>321457535
are you retarded or did you read too fast?
>>321457864
you are definitely retarded
>>321457535
>>321457763
and that is why the Vita version was the best option this time.
(plus portability)
>>321457798
Can you read? I said they both look the same.
>>321457976
R-retards, all of you!
>>321456959
Has anyone made a "Muh Class" image yet
I wish autists would stop whining about irrelevant shit in cold steel threads.
Let's talk about Best Loli instead. I actually laughed out loud when she jumped on Rean to wake him up in chapter 5
>>321457979
Too early to say, but don't get your hopes up.
>>321458128
>tfw a loli will never jump on you to wake you up
>>321457986
Yea but memers going to meme. The funny thing is I find more visual bugs on the ps3 but spend more time playing the vita version. It's just soo obviously vita game cheaply ported to the ps3.
>>321458021
are you stupid too? he meant that the game had the same issues and looks good when the previous anon said they all look bad
>>321458043
we know, you're a part of it since you stutter
>>321458128
I'd say how the game looks is pretty relevant to the game bro. Not our fault a few shills/retarded fanboys keep making exaggerated claims about it.
Laura x Fie OTP
>>321450570
You would imagine wrong.
>>321457535
>>321458298
They do make a good team in battle but I raped their face in the chapter5 practical exam fight. Wasn't even close.
you are all retards
im a retard and everyone else
play this shitty looking game that is still very good and fuck off from defending it
who /undub master race/ here?
Also Fie best kiseki.
>>321459451
this tbqh family
>>321459527
Fie IS pretty awesome, but she still doesn't compare to Estelle.
Who should I hang out with?
>>321459821
Alisa is best girl
And Fie.
And Millium if you have her.
>>321459894
What about the boys?
>>321455597
Why did they go for the realistic art-style when they have no budget for it?
Not to mention the shit-tier portraits.
>HEY LET'S USE OUR LOW POLY MODELS FOR EXPRESSIONS IN OUR STORY BASED GAME
>>321460048
Meh I don't really care for any of the male characters in this game desu. Gaius is okay, and Crow. Fuck machias and jusis.
>>321457697
>Yeah but Machias settled for Elliot.
What happens in Sen II?
I really like this game
>>321460279
Story wise when they separated Machias and Elliot traveled together along with Fie. Laura and Emma headed back to Laura's hometown, Gaius, Alisa, and Millium headed to Gaius's place.
>>321460140
>Realistic 3d models.
About as Realistic as Wild arms 5. It's pretty clear they were going for an anime look.
And they have been wanting to do 3d models instead of sprites since the crossbell games.
>>321459527
But thats wrong, Rixia is the best Kiseki
>>321461851
You mean Elie.
>>321461851
Dressing like a slut doesn't make her best anything.
>>321461954
Elie is probably the worst girl from Zero
Lloyd is the best MC he can literally get any girl to fall in love with him.
>>321429241
Won't get my copy until Tuesday. Sucks man.
CAN YOU FUCK TOWA?
Is it possible to take screenshots with the PS3 version?

pls no bully
so am I doing something wrong because at lest early on it seems im not getting a whole lot of cash. Not that Ive had to buy a whole lot really but healing items ain't cheap
>>321469854
Most of your cash comes from exhanging septh mass or selling shit
Sepith mass is the last type of sepith in your list, it's useless for making quarts, but you can exhange it for money
>>321469854
Stop spending money on healing items. Or use this trick over and over again:

>>321470252
Gakuen s2 subs when
>>321460140
I agree man. Realistic models are not good. This should have been the style used instead.
>>321470616
Feels like Towa is staring into my soul.
>>321470252
Seems like a waste of effort, or is the game really so hard you need to use this exploit?
>>321471287
Anon wants to have money so I gave him an early way to get cash.
>>321470616
Those aren't models, and the ones in game aren't realistic at all.
>>321472883
Anon is being sarcastic and is making fun of potato face.
>>321472674
well I was more concerned it would be an issue later, right now Ive been getting on well not buying a whole lot of anything. Elliots heal craft is pretty handy
>>321444992
I am hoping Saori Goto would be able to do a double role as Elise Schwarzer and Claire Rieveldt because her voice almost sound the same as the late Miyu Matsuki.
Does cold steel have enemies in treasure chests? If so, what music plays?
I really enjoyed them in FC and SC
Where my Towabros at?
Damn, people really like this chick.
>>321429241
How good is this game for someone who never played any Legend of Heroes game?
>>321476840
All Angelica posters
>>321476765
She is pretty cute.
>>321476884
as someone who's never played the others Im having a grand ol time
though expect some asshole to come along any minute now to explain how we're having fun wrong
>>321476884
Guy who never played the other games here
I'm enjoying it. Gonna tackle the other games for it after
>>321476884
It honestly has better world building than the FC, the other localized introductory game. The library gave me a much clearer idea of the world than anything in FC.
>>321453714
Her voice is literally the best in the game you fucking goober
>>321429241
So far, this game is nowhere near how bad I thought it would be cause so many non EOPs called it total shit. It's just as enjoyable as FC for me.
>>321477530
This. It also does a better job of making you feel like you're doing stuff even if it's still a very sedate game with endless dinners.
>>321477734
>ever listening to falcom moonshitters
>>321477734
A lot of importers like to exaggerate things. I remember the time they shat on Xillia and said it was really bad. It has its faults but it was still enjoyable.
Zestiria though, now that game had real flaws, and not just the cut content aspect.
Though really, I'd take their opinions with a grain of salt.
>>321456959
This guy is hilarious
>NOBLES REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Him and Laura make me chuckle
I'M UNCOVERING THE CONSPIRACY OF WHO TRASHED THE TWO STALLS IN THE MARKETPLACE HOW FUCKING LONG UNTIL THE SEXY MAID SHOWS UP HOLY SHIT
>>321477993
74 hours
This game has amazing battle system so far, though so far the Artes have been more limited than Trails in the Sky's.
However, starting on Hard was interesting so far. I had little trouble so far up until the boss of chapter 1 in the forest. I had the best items you can buy at the time and decent levels (17?). Little did I know the boss has a huge swing punch that can hit your whole team for like 1300 damage and a scream AoE that paralizes. Got completely demolished. First time In the game now where I have to spread out and possibly use items, its getting great.
Also love the cast so far, Especially Laura, who I am sad will probably leave the team soon. Powerhouse claymore user, yeaah
>>321477993
>THE CONSPIRACY OF WHO TRASHED THE TWO STALLS IN THE MARKETPLACE

>>321478329
>Also love the cast so far, Especially Laura, who I am sad will probably leave the team soon
welI suspect they're gonna file the whole cast in and out for a good long while before you given you any real control of the whole roster
do you ever get to dress your party members in other outfits?
I've seen Laura and Alisa in different outfits during free events. Do you ever get to equip those yourself?
>>321478661
Yeah I has assumed that, so you get to know all the characters, since there are so many of them this time.
One thing I didn't like about the game was in the In Medias Res intro where you have all characters at level 50 and get to see their s-crafts and stuff. Kinda spoiled it a little, bleh.
>>321454264
I'm pretty used to the voices now
I like them

they outright say they're gonna be learned at story points so it kind of waters down the reveal if you see them in advance
What did he mean by this?
>>321479729
>64 gb card is a hundred dollars on amazon
could have sworn it was cheaper in other places
>>321478345
But that one isn't menial at all. It's the other quests that are.
>>321479786
Meh, half of them are basically just 'time for an s-craft'. They follow some character stuff but aren't relevant to the plot.
>>321429241
I feel bad for how bored this game makes me. I've been still trying to play it but holy shit this early stuff is a drudge...

>>321478945
Winter/Summer outfits are changed into automatically as the game progresses but can't be chosen freely until NG+. You also get formal/idol outfits and swimsuits in NG+ as well.
Then there's some DLC outfits.
>there are commoners posting in this thread RIGHT NOW
Disgusting.
>>321481838
What are Ps3 Screenshots
>>321482370
That's complete fucking horseshit. I bought the Vita version just for the ability to take screenshots.
Fuck XSEED for not advertising this feature.
>>321482282
WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT COMMONERS, YOU STUCK UP PEACE OF NEPOTIST SHIT! ILL HAVE YOU KNOW IM ONE OF THE HIGHEST SCORED STUDENTS OF THORS MILITARY ACADEMY CLASS SEVEN AND AN EXPERY GUNMAN! WHY DON'T YOU COME HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE YOU COATTAIL RIDING PUSSY!
Anyone know what the exact filesize is for the Vita version? It says 2.7 GB but I need an exact number cause I'm a few MB less
>>321480724
It's perversion then.
>>321482456
Never once crossed your mind looking at how to take screenshots on a ps3?
>>321482456
u mad bro?
>>321483232
just delete something then
>>321483468
I want to keep one other digital game which I'm playing currently. CMA is annoying to use.
Never played the other series games, heard it's comparable to persona 4? if so i'm pretty sure i'll love it. Any tips for someone beginning the game/ shit that's easy to miss?
>>321483324
Less than 1% of all PS3 games support that feature. It's a rarity.
>>321483352
Yes I'm fucking mad. I can only pray that Gamestop will let me switch copies.
>>321429241
>all the people who bought this because they wanted crossbell and 3rd
poor bastards
im doing an fc sc evo run and probably will replay zero and ao soon after third evo is released
i still dont know how someone can enjoy sen without the previous games given how one of its biggest themes are carry overs from ao, but do your best to enjoy it
>>321484247
I'm enjoying it for what it is. It's not that bad.
>>321484430
if you adjusted the expectations accordingly, anything can be enjoyed
its probably the biggest advantage westfags have over nips
>>321484247
Kill yourself. You aren't welcome here.

Just kill me familia

>Kill yourself
woah, you're that dude that unironically likes Sen
why dont you go like, read a book or something so you can learn how to enjoy things that aren't shitty
people like you are worst than star wars prequel kiddies

My local Gamestops have done me favors in the past.
oh, there's a dash button
>>321484710
Good one.
>>321484205
If you care about missing things, don't even touch this or the other games in the series until you have a guide in front of you. The entire game after a question you get asked in class has optional as well as hidden quests, correct/incorrect answers and graded actions.
This one happens to have a fairly spoiler-free guide available if you look for it.
I'm genuinely curious, why Cold Steel?No, really.
>>321485043
you can't really expect any title of the series to have a proper english translation
not even trails in the sky does a good job at it, so might as well just get one from your anus and call it a day
>>321485043
Gold is for the mistress– silver for the maid–
Copper for the craftsman, cunning at his trade.
‘Good!’ said the Baron, sitting in his hall,
‘But iron– cold iron– is ruler of them all’.
>>321485043
Because the Japanese word doesn't have an English equivalent (that isn't basically a sound effect) but is related to the same idea. This was explained by the developers.
>>321485043
Because he's the strongest and coolest of the hedgehogs
>>321485043
Because flash wouldn't really fit.
That and one of the tracks has Cold Steel as it's name which helped.
>>321485347
>And the main battle theme (which is a killer track, I might add)
Falcom games always have pretty great music
>>321484595
I'm gonna be real quick on why it's shit. From a dude who played all the games, to another dude who played all the games
Sen's main theme is from Ao when Osborne said "weak will is engulfed by strong will", so class VII is always being dragged around because they have no will of their own
which is why in Sen 2 Osborne comes out in the end pretty confirming what I'm saying
You may think this is smart. The writer sacrificed every single character's motivation to make them look weak willed to show how they were "engulfed" by osborne's strong one
But it really isn't. In the end what the writer showed is not "weak willed" people being manipulated, but "no will" people being manipulated. He was proving an obvious point.
Being entertained by this is like being entertained by someone trying to prove to you that you get wet if you bathe in water.
There you go, why sen sucks in less than 150 words.
>>321485937
when the fags come out and say "hurr you just didnt understand it" i laugh every damn time man
>>321485937
Interesting to note, this is also *very very* likely the reason why they chose students as setting.
Students are the epitome of "weak willed" individuals, but alas, the writer took the shortcut and his lazy ass couldn't give them sympathetic motivations, instead gave them nothing
Of course people like this are easy to manipulate. It's not even interesting to see that kind of shit since you get to see it every fucking day.
>>321485937
yawn
>>321486416
you should go to bed dog
>>321484247
What's her deal? Why is she edgy?
>>321486528
Sorry, too busy playing the game and enjoying how hilariously full of shit that comment was.
>>321486416
I agree, Sen is pretty yawn-worthy.
Trashing it is fun has heck though.
>>321485937
Seriously NOBODY GIVES A FUCK
Stop coming into these threads and shitting them up with your stupid opinion. Get a life and let the english speaking audience come to their own conclusions. Absolutely nobody asked for your opinion.
>>321486367
Looks more like you're the one who didn't get it, you stupid piece of shit.
>>321486735
>muh opinions
East and west, Senfags are retards all the same.
So are we ever gonna be able to have a good thread without some fag shitting up the joint
>>321487035
Just report him and talk about the game if you want to.
>>321487035
Just talk about CS.
If anything this thread just show
1.) Falcom importers are as bad as platformers warriors that they have to shit every thread of a game that gets a localization
2.) There are people bored enough to religiously shitpost a thread even during the holidays instead of playing a videogame
3.) Never listen to moonspeakers
The game may be shit to you, you can give all the reasons in the world but it won't matter in the end. Let people waste their money on things they want.
>>321487142
Best girl detected.
>>321487229
Looks like you posted the wrong girl.
>>321487165
You're defending a game that can be proven to be shit in less than 150 words.
Oh well, I guess we can just post which girl we'd want to waifu I guess
>>321487035
It's just one guy who comes into every thread to insult people for not enjoying the series in the same manner he did while trying to pull some faux-superiority card. It happens pretty much any time something gets localized.
He's pretty easy to ignore to be honest, until people start going in circles replying to him.
>>321487229
>>321487334
Both wrong
>>321487334
Best ass.
>>321487467
i didnt see him insulting anything or anyone
in fact, he didnt even insult the game
>>321487480
Fuck off Hatsuu, no gives gives a shit about your Yuri bait character
>>321487480
Decent.
>>321487564
Just let it go broseph, you can't really argue with these kind of people.
>>321487334
Id stay after class
>>321487467
I haven't seen anything insulting from him, you guys are getting overly defensive over a game you like.
>>321487698
I see.

I think I might get this to have something to play on my vita, but I haven't played the previous two, so I'm a little hesitant to take the plunge.
>>321487792
>She was briefly disappointed you weren't a better sparring partner
Dammit Rein, help me help, help me you get laid
>>321487961
The stories are largely unrelated and there's only one mild spoiler about a character.
>>321488071
That's good to know, thank you.
I have a huge thing for teachers so I thought I was gonna love Sara but man Towa is so much more best than anyone god damn how does she do it
>>321487994
It's okay anon.
I do hope you're all enjoying yourselves!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgoksl_eRusYAMETE KUREEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>321487837
You could've used that to your advantage to be quite honest.
Because of the games being skipped, you could never really tell why the characters lack motivation or have little to bring them forward.
When you attach that to the theme I said, it makes sense then. That "weak will is engulf by strong will" thing, it makes more sense to you and enables to better enjoy the game.
>>321488247
Hey at least they made out by morning. It took them how many weeks for Alisa to even look at the guy?
>>321488149
There are also some vague references to previous events (like where that character was, some information in the newspapers if you choose to read them) but not detailed retelling of the plot.
>>321487837

4) How great Xseed is at stealth marketing
>>321488524
Well yeah least she gets over it..eventually.
>>321488663
Pretty good.
Is this game worth finding the retail copy? Seems to be out of stock at the 2 closest stores to me. Is the game long enough that buying it digital would be worth it?
>>321488768
i honestly dont understand, its like they expect a thread on 4chan, of all damn places, to be a circle jerk
even when you go into xenoblade X threads you still get people who shit on the story even after the importers, but you can still discuss the game fine and all that
what is the advantage of attacking people criticizing a game this much?
>>321487837
>shitting up the thread
>Critique is the same as shitting it up
Are you 12?
>>321489419
>The world needs me to tell them why they're wrong
while no game is above criticism there's no reason you have to open your trap every time either
Honestly surprised that one video hasn't been posted yet.
>people thinking they can enjoy this game if they don't know Japanese and haven't imported the other games yet
I demand you all stop liking this game this instant. My standard of quality is objectively better than yours.
Every single thread for this game gets ruined by this one autist. Why do you keep replying to him?
>>321487480
Angelica is my husbando
>>321489886
Oh hey that's a higher quality one.
Does every game in the series have some gay sexual predator or something?
Okay so are weapon upgrades a straight line? Because I think I may have missed a step somewhere as I can't upgrade any of my weapons in that first merchant town
>>321490208
Yes.
>>321489508
Not really, there's quite the bias within the western fanbase that I've noticed, which I've seen even people saying they're willing to help xseed sell as many games as possible so they could get Crossbell games.
If there is no criticism posted in the thread, and no one willing to argue, and no difference in opinions, people may end up buying a game they won't enjoy, and set themselves up for disappointment.
>>321489982
>>321489884
I know you're trying hard as fuck, I honestly don't understand why you don't just ignore and keep talking about the game.
Also you trying to pass the criticism as some sort of projected elitism is also hilarious. It really shows how desperate you are, but I really can't tell why you would be. According to you, it's just an "opinion" after all.
>>321490405
You can buy new weapons from the guy standing next to the Orb seller.
>>321490405
Pretty sure you can get still new weapons anon.
>>321490513
i remember that dude who went to japan like a year ago, saying he wished he had someone telling him not to buy sen since he didn't like it
i mean ffs, it's common sense to have a few negative opinions among positive ones you want people to read all of them
the one dude attacking criticism is just strange
>>321490515
>>321490618
well color me embarrassed
>>321490513
I wasn't being sarcastic you fuck.
I fucking hate when secondaries get introduced to a series I like and have no idea what they're talking about. How can you fully appreciate something if you haven't even taken the time to properly research it yet?
>>321490513
Alright buddy criticism complete you win now fuck off
>>321490769
>I fucking hate when secondaries get introduced to a series I like
MUH SECRET CLUB
>>321490424
>>321490374
Who are the others then?How do they get away with such a shitty anime cliche every game?
>>321490513
>set themselves up for disappointment
It was already bad enough with TiTS and you get people making threads all the time saying they expected the best game ever but just got an average at best game (according to them)
But what can you do
>>321490769
You could just leave the threads if it makes you that angry.
>>321490769
i dont think you know what secondaries are, you fucking retard.
the only way to be a Kiseki secondary is if you like, watched the shitty OVA instead of playing SC.
>>321491083
>>321491089
that's 100% shitposting there lads
Jesus christ the amount of slow down in heimdallr on the Vita is insane, every cutscene is almost a slideshow.
People were saying you shouldn't start on Hard for your first playthrough but I'm not having much trouble so far. Granted I just finished Chapter 1, but I imagine things will only get easier as my characters continue to level up. Enemies hit kind of hard, yeah, but you can end most normal battles before enemies even have a chance to attack just by starting with an advantage.
What all carries over to NG+?
>>321489982
i'm gonna say something like a dare-devil here
**you attack people criticizing the game, asking them to kill themselves
you lurk enough to be able to recognize posters
**your defensiveness is pretty weird for a game that just released and you haven't had time to create a good bond with it yet
**you're trying your best to make him shut up about his *negative* opinions without arguing back
im sorry dude, but i have to say you're pretty suspiscious
>>321491752
What did he mean by this?
>>321489982
>one guy critiques a game
>some autist gets triggered every time
hurr
Look man, if he called you names or something, you'd have a valid case, but you're gettin way too defensive here, and I'm saying this as someone who's enjoying the game so far.
>>321491752
He was also here during release, he kept calling people criticizing the game "autists".
He's a marketer trying to shut down criticism.
>>321492252
Pretty sure Xseed doesn't bother with secret marketers on 4chan.
>>321492218
Uh-huh..
>>321492371
I once saw in a buyfag thread a guy saying he's source of income to buy figures was marketing Xseed on /v/.
Questions is though, how can you be "pretty sure"? I'm not the one accusing, but it is a good question.
>>321492432
No, I mean they had an official rep on 4chan for ages. They wouldn't bother being secret about it.
Hard mode is pretty dang hard. I'm not sure if I regret starting on it or not.
>>321492683
lol okay it's a marketing conspiracy and no employee ever openly posted here
>Open a treasure chest
>get ambushed by like 6 stronger enemies
I bet a noble was behind this bullshit
>>321492371
Only a marketer would say the game looks great on a PSTV.
>>321492858
>trap chests have their own unique graphics, unlike previous games
You have no one to blame but yourself, commoner.
>>321432998
Towa is literally in Tokyo Xanadu. Like same character model and name
>>321492849
baka, you had threads for q&a, not really stealth marketing and calling people autists because they disliked a product you're trying too hard to sell
People keep saying the game is like Persona. Does this only apply to the fact that the characters are school kidz? I don't particularly the monotonous dungeon crawling in the persona games.
>>321493070
>everyone is having fun
>one asshole comes in screaming about how we're wrong for liking something
>gets called out on it
>YOUR JUST XSEED SHILLING
>>321493291
Okay, and? I've been saying they're not stealth in the first place.
>>321493352
Pretty much. There's also a calendarfor no real reasonand something analogous to social links.
>>321493453
Calendar is to match the timeline with Ao and Zero timeline
>>321493556
Did those games have a calendar?
>>321493615
Yes
>>321493352
you can do BONDING EVENTS between missions and there's sort of a calendar but it doesn't move like personas, It only moves as the story progresses between missions
>>321493646
Neat. Thanks for correcting me.
>>321493595
That wasn't him.
>>321493595
it's more you being desperate to tell everyone how much fun we're not really having.
read the fucking early parts of the thread. Actual people playing and talking about the game and waifus
then along comes the Ao/zero brigade to tell us how secondary we are.
>>321492748
Just back attack normal enemies and you can end most encounters before they even have a chance to attack. Remember that certain Crafts/Arts delay enemy turns as well, so if you play your cards right you can prevent enemies from even moving. Status effects also activate a lot more often than in most RPGs.
>>321493352
The main cast are students at a military academy and there's a system where you can spend free time with characters outside of combat to improve your bonds with them which has effects that carry over into battle if they're a party member.
That's about it. Dungeons have you traveling to different areas and don't feel as monotonous as in Persona.
>>321485043
Because there is no "I" in team, but there is a "me" in meme. In fact, there's two... cause he's just that cool.
>>321494230
>cold steel
>S-craft uses fire
>>321493798
>then along comes the Ao/zero brigade to tell us how secondary we are.
No fun allowed silly.
>>321494337
>he doesn't know about cold fire
>>321494337
Cold steel folded over a thousand times kid. Not even the flames of Hell can dull his blade.
>>321493798
>us
>we
Don't lump me with the likes of you. I think the only autist here is you. I can deal with the game having flaws with regards to the setting, why can't you?
If hearing them triggers you greatly, why not just leave the thread. It's not as if he can dissuade a large number of people from buying the game, I wager most of us here already have a copy.
>resounding beat
>raises DEF and grants auto-heal every turn
Elliot is kind of making things easy mode, and I'm on Hard. I don't think I've ever had to manually heal in a battle yet.
>>321494695
>PC only
I haven't bought a console since the PS2 era (3DS doesn't count). Waiting warmly for that PC release 2 years from now.
>>321494927
How's progress on a PS3 emulator coming?
>>321494792
It stops being as effective when you have to deal with multiple attacks per turn, but it's still an excellent craft, especially given most characters have mediocre magic.
>>321494927
I actually thought this game would be getting a PC release. I only found out that it wasn't when I checked what platforms it would release on. Which I didn't do until the game released.
This game is pretty comfy
>>321494337
>Same picture as last time too
>>321494351
Good for him. No one cares. You guys also got just a big if not bigger bug up your but about people playing the series "THE RIGHT WAY"
Does the Vita version have anything missing that the other versions have? I want this portable.
Is A the highest grade you can get at the end of a chapter?
Just cleared Chapter 1 and pretty sure I got all the AP I could.
Ps3 or vita anons debating which to get soon. Looks like most of you guys got the vita version mind if I ask why and not for the ps3.
>>321495294
Jesus man, do something about this inferiority complex of yours. It's painful to see.
He explained a theme of the game, from a previous game, he explained how falcom built the setting over that theme, and that can add this to your experience of the game, but he also said the shortcoming the game had on this approach which is fine given the challenges falcom had with the title outside the realms of just story
You know, its why you discuss games outside of the realm of circle jerk in the first place, to get a different perspective that would add to yours
But you keep imposing elitism where there isn't any, and stops you from seeing a thoughtful post as such.
>>321495615
Vita has slightly longer load times after battles and some framerate drops during cutscenes.
Either is fine as long as you avoid playing the Vita version on a PSTV.
>>321461851
The only correct person in this thread
Is this the best guide to use if you're a sperglord like me and want to see ALL POSSIBLE CONTENT? It seems like the most indepth while remaining mostly spoiler free.

>>321495993
>>321495479
>>321495617
Fug, looks like I missed a hidden quest.
Oh well, more of a reason to do a second playthrough now.
>>321496105
yeah a lot of these hidden ones can be a real pain
Ive been glancing over a guide just to note when they pop up
>>321496217
just gotta ask
do you know this is a series that boasts about being a "Story rpg"?
honest question
i know you want to talk about waifus and all that
but when a dude come explaining stuff of the setting, it kind of matters for discussing this game
it really isn't just "trails + waifus" sen does some pretty smart things writing-wise, but it also shows its shortcomings too
>>321495993
It's the one I've been using. So far all chapters have resulted in S ranks and I have books in numerical order, so I assume it's pretty complete.
So what doujins are we getting for C89?
Alisa has one by Cyclone
Towa has one by Shikei
>>321496547
any Laura ones out there? Sara? they are currently my favorites which means I will probably be SOL
Live for no one, not even yourself
>>321496712
Oh well..
>>321496646
>fuck off and die
>>321496894
do I get to play as Crowe? He seems based as fuck
>>321497148
At some points
so without spoilers how far in does that intro battle take place into the game?
>>321498556
It's Chapter 5 I think.
So is there nothing wrong with the vita version? I want to spend my gift cards tomorrow.
>>321499752
No. You'll be fine with it.
May as well ask.
Who are any of you aiming spending time with?
>>321499997
well as it stands right now Im focusing on Laura, Gaius and Sara as my top priorities but I haven't gotten so far in that Ive really had to make any major calls on that field yet.
butit
>>321499997
none of them
>>321500196
Oh yes you're that Laura anon.
>>321500196
>butit
Okay I have no idea why I wrote that or what it means. maybe Ive had too much nog
Machias has to be the most triggered man on the entire planet. No pun intended.
>>321500326
Well Im certainly A Laura fag if nothing else
>>321499997
Crow because everybody else is useless to the story.
>>321499752
VIta version is fine. Been playing it on my Vita TV and Vita.
>>321499997
I find Laura the most interesting so her.
>>321496547
Possibly part 2 of this.
>>321500638
I just think she and Gaius have been the easiest to get on with so far. Elliot's mostly cool too in a nerdy sidekick kind of way
>>321429241
Do we not have that OP picture in a higher resolution? It'd make a pretty cool desktop
>>321500732
I thought you liked Alisa the most, Ace.
>>321500894
I vary a lot.
>>321501263
Is that right?
I'm in chapter 6 atm. That fight against S at the fortress was pretty wild.
The chapter title is "Progressive Chaos" which makes me think shit is about to go down
>>321501516
>The chapter title is "Progressive Chaos" which makes me think shit is about to go down
or you're gonna have a hard time getting car insurance
>tfw level 5 bonds with Alisa, Fie, Laura and Emma
>>321501518
It's always good to change up, you know?
>>321501760
Right.
>>321502084
Best girl
>>321502173
>want to play this
>refuse to pay full price for a 2013 game
ahh damn principles
>>321502173
None of the girls in Sen are best so far desu
>>321502257
Best Sen girl I mean.
Estelle is the best girl of all Trails.
>>321502216
It's the first time it's been to NA shores.
That, andit's not like you're playing for anemulator.
>>321502361
poor man's Virginia Maxwell
>>321502361
Estelle wasn't even the best in Sora trilogy stupid fujo
>>321502361
That's not Renne.
I can't shake this feeling that Millium is an intelligence division plant and that she's going to betray us at some point.
>>321502571
shut up and go back to being not in love with your not brother
>>321502571
well you're half right
I want to impregnate blondie
>>321503316
there a Laura daki?
I ask for, research.
>>321503597
awesome. You're an ace.
>>321503597
Didn't expect that one.
>>321503665
No problem.
>>321503945
The only thing I regret is not finding a higher quality image oh well.
>>321503945
yeah this really seems like the kind of franchise that would only make merch of a handful of characters
to say nothing of older ones
I'm enjoying Trails in the Sky, but I don't wanna play anymore until the 3rd chapter gets localizedor it gets confirmed as dropped..
How is Cold Steel in comparison?
>>321504458
>but I don't wanna play anymore until the 3rd chapter gets localized
You're gonna wait for a long time, kid.
>>321504458
popular consensus is CS is the weakest of the three main but so far Im liking it more than Sky FC
>>321504458
Well..CS doesn't have as much of a slow going pace like FC did.
>>321504640
I have played the entire series and I like Sen better than FC Sure it was quite a step back from Ao but it's not that bad either.
Sen 2 was bollocks though
It's kinda weird how some conversations are only half voice acted. Like, very early on at the start of Chapter 1 where everyone else is VA'd besides Rean. Is that how it is in Japanese as some weird stylistic choice or is it cost cutting from the localization?
>>321504609
Its a wait I'm willing to carry. A trilogy with no third game is like a shitty simile.
>>321505179
>Is that how it is in Japanese as some weird stylistic choice or is it cost cutting from the localization?
The former. Yeah I don't know Falcom did it like that maybe Rean's VA costed a lot over there or something.
>>321505291
The 3rd isn't a direct sequel.
>>321505179
It continues throughout the game too. It's mostly confined to free days, with the trips fully voiced where they're voiced at all. Supposedly Xseed asked them to allow for more voicing to address this, but it couldn't be done.
>>321505479
Oh.
Just look at these fat thighs.
>>321429241
So is it worth doing quest or should I just try to max out the affections of my teammates?
Also how many team mates can I max out? I doubt that they give us enough time for everyone
>>321506019
Yes Emma I know.
>Gender divided classes
>Guys learn computers
>girls off to the kitchen
now that's sexist. I mean the nerv. How dare they assume that just because Im a guy I don't want to learn how to make scrumptious meals.
this computer shit is never gonna catch on anyways
>>321506180
well from what I can tell there's nothing stoping you from doing both. Time doesn't work like in persona
just due the optional shit first
>>321506180
You can't do everyone in a first playthough yes. So you have to pick and choose.
>>321506553
Any idea on how many people you can do the first time?
>>321506647
I heard like 5 or 6
>>321506647
Can't recall on that bit sorry anon.
>>321505083
That "final" chapter pissed me off so much.
>>321507135
>>321504640
sen 1 and 2 are the best Kiseki games gameplay wise imo. They are very fast, smooth and just convenient to the player. I also think Sen 1 has a pretty interesting story while Sen 2 spends a lot of time with nothing happening.
I can't really see any way that Sen 1 pales compared to FC. Maybe characters. But besides that the gameplay is far superior and the story picks up a lot faster.
>>321507657
Zero > Sen 1 > FC for intro to each arc desu.
>>321507657
Sen has the worst gameplay so far. I am breezing through it on nightmare. I've had less trouble than I had with FC on normal.
>>321508027
Pretty sure most of the people saying the combat is better is because they have adhd since the combat itself is faster, but incredibly easy/shit.
>>321507657
>best Kiseki games gameplay wise
A lot of the new mechanics break the game. Like double turns+AT advance, CP builds, and ultimate quartz.
>>321508159
Yeah it gives you way too much CP. You can spam crafts nearly every turn so far without ever running out of CP.
>>321453540
Because people were whittling down potential ouroboros members by who had a portrait in previous games
Can I S.Link him?
Watching Machias just... STEW.. is the best shit ever
that kids gonna snap and put on a trench coat
>>321507657
The battles do 'feel' good, but difficulty wise there are so many broken things that both games are a cakewalk on Nightmare if you have any idea what you're doing.
The toughest part was Sen 1 final battle on Nightmare because it's all luck, I got incredibly lucky when I finally beat it underleveled
>favorite character is shota staff wielder
>he is the kloe of this game
>this automatically means he's useless as fuck
FUCK
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>>321509184
I don't get it, why is the designer for these characters so good at designing clothes but so bloody fucking shit at designing the characters themselves.
>>321509184
Early on Elliot is a essential. He has a cheap Craft that heals the party every turn for like 4 turns
>>321509292
He designed yhe Thors outfit though, which looks like shit.
Crosssbell > Liberl > Erebonia for outfit designs
>>321509348
You're telling me Kloe was a good character?
>>321509460
Kloe didn't have good crafts.
>>321509417
His outfit design is actually pretty good though, and its pretty nice how he manages to make the characters look different and personalized even in their school uniforms.
The problem is that the characters themselves are fucking shit, which baffles me. I don't like a single character from class 7, how in the hell is this even possible to achieve when you have 9 main characters?
The first thing you think about when designing a character is "okay how do I make this character relatable?"
I dunno maybe I just hate the fact that they are all high school students and the whole role reversal shit with the girls being the heavy weapons dude.

I have no idea what a KLOE is but Elliot has a kick ass early heal

The Sen 1 outfits really suck though. They're ugly and bulky.
The Sen 2 outfits are mostly good but not as good as Liberl or Crossbell.

Kloe the cuck queen you dingus
The battle system in this game is addicting I spent an hour fighting in Celdic Highway instead of doing mission, also I unlocked Laura's S-craft its based af
Does the game have Swimsuit DLC costumes I'd love to see Laura in her Gym Swimsuit

>Kloe the cuck queen
I want this stupid meme to die a horrible death.
>>321510379
As soon as you stop calling other girls sluts, cuck.
>>321500601
I love her outfit a lot thank god thatPSO2 get this outfit out of sellout collaboration
>>321510579
Please bitch, where do you see me doing that shit?

it comes from 3rd where she gets friendzone and stays a forever alone virgin queen that no one loves. Also confused you for some other cuck.
>>321511267
don't rape the Laura
>>321509757
But his crafts are good. I mean, both "casters" are outclassed at their own job by Jusis, but that's a separate issue.
BUT I WANTED TO BE IN THE OTHER PARTY
Ugh, this cooking stuff seems like Tales cooking, only somehow more annoying since you can't mass-buy every ingredient (so far anyways). Is there anything particularly good locked behind learning every recipe, like the cooking sidequests in Tales games?
>sweet a JRPG to play now I'm bored
>not out for another month in bongistan
Literally why, it's going to be the exact same digital download as US.
>>321511450
okay how about this instead

The bigger issue is finances if you want that much, though Elliot can slowly print money with eggs and salt if he's in the party. And there are two npcs who want a copy of every failure/unique variant dish.
>>321512658
Man that's going to be kind of a pain in the ass. I guess I'll work at it slowly.
>>321512718
It's pretty easy if you know the rules. Just have someone with the blue face fuck up the dish, then test the :D faces until you get the one with a crown. In the case of pizza have Rean make it himself because everyone else is afraid of toppings.
>>321512858
Oh! I didn't realize it wasn't random. Okay yeah this is pretty simple then, actually. I was concerned about the crown thing since I'd have no way of knowing if the RNG was fucking me or if I was testing the wrong character.
That'll teach me to overcomplicate things in my head.
>>321513021
It is random, but the probability is pretty marked. If you give Elliot 99 eggs and salt, 80-90% will come out as his unique dish.

Yeah. If this is what I can expect from the series from now on I think I'm done. I've had my fill with Trails FC and SC. Just leave the memories alone.
>>321513703
yeah good job being a filthy eop
>>321512025
Except Emma has the highest ATS stat making her the strongest caster and Alisa's craft can heal and regen CP. Plus Elliot have low speed growth so he'll get killed before he can do shit.
>>321514227
I don't recall saying they were beaten in offensive stat. I also don't remember Emma being that much faster. She always goes last for me and often can't get a big cast off before the enemy moves or Jusis nukes them anyway. She's a little more handy in a boss fight since her arts will gets chance to land.
>>321514612
>both "casters" are outclassed at their own job by Jusis
Alisa is still the best support next to fie since her CP regen is broken. Emma's purpose as an magic nuke is still better than every character. I don't see how Jusis outclasses any of them.
By the way, is there any point to doing bonding events with the characters outside the main party? Do they join up eventually? It seems like kind of a waste of such a limited resource if they're only available sometimes.
>>321515448
>better load her up with my good quartz because of that magic stat
>oh wait everything is already dead in 90% of battles
And now you're arguing about support, which was never mentioned.
So what girl has the fattest ass in Sen?
>>321515831
You can dance with Towa and presumably become butt-buddy with Crow I think.
>>321516281
I meant more as in... Gameplay benefits. I guess by your statement that there isn't one, then?
I'll go for those more flavor-oriented not-social links on a second playthrough.
>>321515893
In >>321512025, you said that Jusis outclasses other casters at their own jobs, which for Alisa is CP recovery and Emma is damage.
>>321517083
I can get behind that.
>>321517518
You need to stop
>>321517658
Or what
Just bought the game
Am excited
