Why is this game so fun, and why is Laura the best girl?
Because its a solid game with a great localization, and because she hits like a fucking Tonka truck.
Been looking at this for a minute, I'm not usually a huge fan of JRPGs but I'm really into Persona and animu.
Would I like it?
Is it turn based?
>>322067948
Yeah. You will like it.
so i have a vita but just recently got a ps4
which version is better?also how does that vita remote play work anyway
>>322067948
you will probably like it, and if you do, you can get more of the same world with the Trails in the Sky games on PSN/Steam.
So what happened to Rean's voice after the Prologue? I'm only like in Chapter 1 still, but he seems to lost his voice for cutscenes. Does it come back eventually, or is my game glitched? Everyone else has a voice, so I just kind of find it weird that only Rean isn't talking.
>>322068413
It's only on PS3 and Vita.
The performance is a bit better on PS3 but from what I've heard it's not that big of a difference.
>>322068678
Rean doesn't really have a lot of voiced segments. It was like that in the Jap version too.
Let this thread be the one that officially decides whether or not cold steel is a good game or not. Which is truth and which is a meme?
http://strawpoll.me/6410012
>>322068678
He goes silent for half the scenes he talks, this happened even in the Japanese version
>>322068752
I drains the vita's battery pretty quickly I'll say.
>>322068825
That's kind of lame because I like his voice. Heck, outside of like two people so far, I love the dub, especially Sara, Machias, and Jusis.
>>322068157
as another Persona fan... how Persona-ish is this? I enjoy JRPGs, but the last one I enjoyed outside of Persona was Last Remnant
>>322069020
That's the Vita getting confused and displays the low battery warning because the game uses a lot of the system's resources
It happened with other heavy duty games
Should I buy this for Vita or PS3?
>>322069295
both are fine, just whichever you would rather play on.
>>322068752
oh ok
i don't have a ps3 so i guess viter will be it if i ever decide on getting it
btw is this a sequel to any other games?
i'm pretty autistic about playing game series in order
>>322068005
>the fact that you recognize a poster and attacks him on the basis of defending shilling is quite odd
I'm not defending shilling. I'm telling him that his claims of shills being present are groundless and have no basis in reality.
Consider the fact that he's called EVERYONE who disagrees with him an xseed shill. How the hell am I supposed to take him seriously when he is just literally going around every Trails thread trying to silence the people who disagree with them by calling them shills?
At this point he's got to be either delusional or just a fucking troll. I can't believe anyone would even take his paranoid rantings seriously anymore.
>>322069387
it takes place in the same world as a bunch of other titles, but it is not strictly a sequel to them.
>>322067594
>>322067594
when you're up against emma fie and alisia there's not much competition.
And instructor Sara is the best
>>322069573
Towa is best. Falcom agrees with me so don't try to argue about it.
The Official Visual Collection never got scanned did it?
>>322068678
Falcom way to do things. The kiseki evolutions are the one being fully voiced, every damn event the normal releases were like this.
>>322069206
You have not-SL's but they're more about spending time then anything romantic. There's a calendar system but it does nothing other then give you a broad sense of time. That's about it.
This would be my first weeaboo game on the PS4. It's not out in Europe yet. I guess it will come out for at least 59,-. Is it worth that much?
How did TITS: SC sell on steam?
I remember that was a big deciding factor on whether or not more would come to the west.
>>322069387
You should be alright playing the first game, but it's recommended to play the Trails in the Sky gamesas well as the Crossbell games, but we're probably not getting those in Englishbefore playing the second Cold Steel game, which should be out in English eventually. Characters from the rest of the games do show up, so you'll miss out on recognizing them.
>>322069735
I'd say it is.
My first playthrough took me over 60 hours and I didn't even look for any hidden sidequests, which I am sure there are many of.
I'm currently starting on a second playthrough as well. It's a fun game.
>>322069735
...it's PS3 and Vita only...
Best girl.
Best OTP.
>>322069735
It's not on PS4, but it is on Vita and PS3. Definitely worth 59, though.
>>322069764
Sold terrible
It also had no bearing on the other games since Falcom themselves requested they localize Cold Steel I&II. Crossbell games never ever.
>>322069764
Not great, I'd say we can safely say it sold less than 15,000 copies on steam.
However, that doesn't include GOG and PSN, and since only 10,000 people even finished the first game on Steam I don't think expecting much more than that would be reasonable.
>>322069903
Towfags on suicide watch.
>>322069903
ripped stockings is my fetish
>>322067948
You can always try the dem- oh yeah, forgot Amerifats never put any good demos EVER.
>>322069764
Bombed.
Sen 1 seems to be doing good though, the Lionheart LE seemed to sell really fast.
How does Sen2 compare to the first one?
Might consider importing a copy
>>322069916
>SC never ever
>Sen never ever
>Crossbell never ever
What's next? Oh, I Know..
>Calvard never ever
Why don't we just wait and see before we start spreading FUD about the future of the series
>>322069903
and flat chest
Never played any game in the saga, tried TOCS and the first segment just throws you into the game, very confusing and with no explanation of the BS whatsoever i got bored quite fast.
Does it really get better?
>muh aristocracy
>muh social classes
Nope, don't think I will be able to stomach this.
>>322069916
>Falcom themselves requested they localize Cold Steel I&II
But couldn't help them get the japanese voice acting.
Yeah Falcom can go fuck itself, I'm keeping muh shekels.
>>322070168
Dude what?
That's literally not even the prologue. You're seriously telling me you didn't even get part the very beginning where they shown the attack on Garrellia fortress?
Keep playing, Anon.
>>322069479
>>322069784
alright thanks anonsthat does trigger me a bit though
also it looks like theres 3 chapters of trails in the sky but only the first has been translated?
but yeah i'm in a time crunch because i also need to play all the drakengaurd games/nier in preparation for automata
fug
>>322070215
You just need to know 1 thing
>Fuck nobles
that's it.
>>322070284
I did the fortress part, that was the confusing bit. Just got to the Academy segment right now.
Which girls should I spend free time with? Laura, Towa and Fie seem like the best. Alisa a shit
Also, why does everyone hate on Emma on SC threads? She's polite and friendly and has a really nice body. I suppose she isn't very interesting.
Is there any other game series where even its own "fans" actively discourage new players from enjoying the games? Fucking disgusting
>>322070423
Persona? I regularly tell people to not play any of the 2 duology and that even 1 is better than them.
>>322070360
Thanks, anon. Now I know I won't be playing it.
Sick of that shit in my animu.
>>322070382
Alisa is best girl. Don't bully Alisa.
>>322070423
Modern Persona fans to a small extent, but nowhere near the FC/SC fans.
>>322069863
Really? I don't want yet another PS3 game - no buy then.
>>322070382
>Also, why does everyone hate on Emma on SC threads?
The biggest reason is that she doesn't really do anything. At least in the first game.
You nobles are alright, don't go to the first dormitory tomorrow.
>>322070382
She's a boring nerdy prude.
The game acts like she's super important but she never does shit.
It also acts like the cat is super important but she never does shit either.
>>322070116
XSEED not working on any more PSP games.
PC versions of Zero and Ao only exist in Chinese the company that made them went bankrupt shortly after they released Ao. Someone would have to rework the games from the ground up.
Evolution games are not made by Falcom those belong to other publisher Pyramid and Chara-Ani. Chara-Ani ferociously protective of Japanese audio. A fully voiced dubbed game for a niche game isn't cheap.
>>322070551
2 duology really should have just been a VN. You have the god tier cast and story but holy shit, the gameplay.
P1 is fun but fuck that EXP system, Maki just high all the EXP.
>>322070554
>Nobles hanging out on /v/
NOBLES GO HOME
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>322070643
yeah I hear she only gets focus in the second sen game
I'm not sure what is making this game so long. It's longer than my FC playthrough already even though it feels like there are much fewer quests. 42 hours in and just finished the beginning part of Chapter 5. How much more till I finish?
>>322070643
nobody hates emma. Nobody likes her though. That said, she's better than Alisia
>>322070423
I don't know, how are they doing this with Trails? I don't see it.
>>322070764
Isn't it explained all in Sen II though?
>>322070275
That was Chara-Ani not Falcom who owned the voicing rights and they charge a fortune. Also the reason why we're not getting the Evolution games which were published by Chara-Ani.
>>322070851
Chapter 7 is the last chapter. So you're getting there.
>>322070551
>>322070567
It's more of a disclaimer since P3 and 4 are very different than P1 and P2 duology.
>>322070559
Shes a annoying tsundere cunt.
>>322067594
Which is better PS3 or Vita version?
>>322070906
People complaining that you shouldn't play Cold Steel without playing the japanese-only Zero/Azure games
>>322070962
Maybe, dunno, but either way Sen II isn't released in English yet. Therefore, the english-speaking audience doesn't know any of it.
Can this shit get even more cliched?
>>322070807
>not wanting to be a rich, refined person of the upper classes
Commoners are really as boorish as I thought.
>>322071128
I don't think that's even a real cliche anymore. It's more of a meme nowadays.
>>322071037
pls no bully
>>322070996
First it was 6 and now 7. Then a guide says 14, nigga make up ur mind
>>322070985
Then why is Falcom partnered with Chara-Ani? They clearly don't care about their foreign fanbase then if they are cool with giving us inferior products.
>>322067594
okay let me guess
>they're all in the military, but they all go to high school!
right?
>>322071291
If a guide says there are 14 chapters then that guide is wrong.
There are 7 chapters.
>>322071291
http://psnprofiles.com/guide/3724-THE-LEGEND-OF-HEROES-TRAILS-OF-COLD-STEEL-Overall-Walkthrough
7 chapters
>>322070307
First and Second Chapters are translated in English and available on Steam and PSP. The Third isn't yet, and no one is sure if Xseed is going to continue translating the series since they haven't been getting much out of it.
>>322071283
That's really puffy.
>>322071376
>they're all in the military
No.
>they all go to high school!
No.
They go to a military academy. They are sent around the country to help resolve issues and see the simmering political turmoil first-hand.
>>322071342
Japanese culture is all about helping each other and shunning foreigners
It's Sony of Asia that picks up the bill localizes the games in Asian countries
>>322070307
No you don't, literally only one ending of one drakengard game really matters to nier.
>>322070360
>Japs kept going "Fuck nobles"
>they still have their own nobility
What hypocrites
>>322071487
11/50 on Minna no Nihongo atm, about 400 kanjis memorized, still have a long way to go but I'll get there.
>All this crossbell talk with something regarding a trade conference and the red haired guy from the crossbell games who I don't know at all
>>322071718
The trade conference is irrelevant. What matters is what happens at garellia fortress while the trade conference is going on
>>322070551
>I regularly tell people to not play any of the 2 duology
What the fuck anon? They're the best persona games
>>322071718
Lechter is Klose's love interest he was introduced in the Third
why is she such a qt
>>322071689
I met a Jap once who said the folks who kept going at that are mostly childish people who don't know history.
>>322071935
Their gameplay is the worst though.
So is it just me, or is the Blade game really fun. Like it seems like a card game that could actually work in real life. Only issue is that card advantage can screw you over.
>>322072048
Yep. That's why they can never be the best games.
>>322070360
>no game where you can go "fuck commoners" as a noble
>>322071398
>>322071454
Well fuck. 7 ch and no postgame. Great...
>>322071993
Post more Alisa, please.
How do I get the equippable Joshua, Estelle, and Renne dolls in Cold Steel?
>>322067594
Nice taste, she's my favourite too.
Emma is sexy
>>322072054
I like it too. It's simple and makes for a fun mini game.
>>322073348
I never liked chicks with glasses
>>322073348
>>322073348
Eillot is the better mage.
I'm liking
Rean
Laura
Elliot
Machias
Switch out for Alisha for a craft Impede
>>322071342
They are doing what they should be, which is prioritizing their primary fanbase.
It is pretty obvious that the west is just an extra to a lot of jap devs.
>>322073509
They are an acquired taste.
>>322073607
>Machias
End yourself.
>>322069903
>>322073348
She looks like a grandma.

Is the PS3 have better visual quality or is it the same?
>>322074663
It's not gonna look any better regardless of you playing on a PS3 as opposed to a Vita.
>>322074663
It's pretty much just resolution.
Here's a PS3 screenshot >>322073994
Here's a Vita screenshot >>322073884
>>322074652
>buying the digital version
Who the fuck would do this
everyone bought the physical game
>>322074876
Funny way of saying "it will look like shit either way"
Well, you're not wrong
>>322074948
>most achieved trophy has 358 owners
lol
>>322075142
No, it's 587* owners.
>>322075142
PSN says I have 0 Cold steel trophies but I beat the game.
Means nothing.
>>322075272
dang i just got btfo...
>>322074652
>>322075142
Don't worry it'll be better than KOWASHITA
Where can I get more fishing rods? Can I get really nice accessories like in SC?
>>322069903
My niggah. Also, best captain.
Why do the girls in this game either have big tits or flat chest
I don't see a girl with medium ones
>>322074652
>>322075142
>>322075272
>>322074948
>>322075326
>>322075826
PSN profiles only counts people who use the PSNprofiles website. You're dumb if you're trying to use psnprofiles to figure out how many people bought the game.
>>322073348
>tfw you will never sleep on her lap
>>322076968
It gives a good idea on the order of magnitude in terms of sales
If you check the jap. versions you know the order of magnitude as far as owners goes is in tens of thousands
if you check localized steins gates for vita its in the order of thousands, but the ps3 is in the magnitude of hundreds
this being in the magnitude of hundreds isn't that swell is all i can tell ya
>>322077273
It doesn't tell you anything.
Plus, when you compare it to other new releases on the list, it clearly shows that Cold Steel has more owners than all but one game at this point.
But, again, it only counts people who use the psnprofiles.com website. It is not a reliable measurement for a game's sales.
>>322077273
>Steins gate vita release date: October 15, 2009
>Cold Steel release date: 2015
Nigga stop grasping for straws
Why do so many people WANT to see these games fail? I don't get it
>>322077463
a'ight son
but tell you what, steins;gate is a vn that can be easily pirated and on a niche handheld still managed to have about 3k owners since release
let's hope cold steel manages to at least break that, but honestly it doesn't seem to be doing too well
though neither did sc it seems
>>322077756
Keep telling yourself that, pal.
>>322077593
Are you retarded? He's talking about the localized version of steins;gate. You can easily tell when he said "niche handheld"
Think before you post.
>>322077858
dont tell me what to do pal
im gonna start saying this game did very well just because you said this
>>322077917
Even then it was released in AUGUST, and Cold Steel was released last week. So your point?
Tell me, why do people like you sound so desperate to see these games fail? I just don't get why it matters so much to you that you will find any excuse to proclaim the games failures, accuracy be damned
>>322078057
take your asthma inhaler, breathe deeply, and read posts more calmly
>>322077273
I'm pretty sure Sen was a PS+ game for both the Vita and PS3 versions so that's an unfair comparison.
>>322078057
He said he hopes Cold Steel to break S;G sales in its time period.
>>322078331
You're a retard, I'm perfectly calm. I'm not the one going to some random website for trophy hunters to try to determine the sales figures for a niche JRPG. Tell me, why does it matter to you if the game sells poorly?
>>322078424
it wasn't comparison
it was a demonstration
>>322078484
He made a bet with me
5k jpy card it won't break s;g sales
I said it would. Xseed better step up
FWIW cold steel lionheart edition is #6 and the regular edition is #13 in Amazon's vita game top sellers list atm
>>322078741
>I said it would
crazy motherfucker
>>322078824
>vita game top sellers
woah...
guess im losing 50 bucks
>>322079068
It's about mid 40s these days though.
>>322079068
I'm not sure which one of you you are, but stein's gate is listed at #1, so..
>>322078824
>being beaten by Black Ops Declassified
Impressive
Today I learned that people actually play call of duty on the vita.
Why?
What did she mean by this?
>>322082038
She means that if either of them come near her bed she won't be able to restrain her intense sexual urges and can't be held responsible if she rapes them like a savage beast.
Obviously.
>>322069764
It fucking dropped with no notice, even people following the release had no idea. Of course it sold like shit.
>>322071981
>Lechter is Klose's love interest
I don´t remember well but didn´t he friendzoned her?
>>322082038
She means she is going to continue being a bitch after apologizing.
>>322067594
>Japan: But Quirky!
>Cool Guy
>Schoolgirls
>Big tits
Why does Japan hate unique stuff. I'm not even saying it's bad, but I feel like I've already seen this like 8 times.
ok you won /v/, i bought it, are you happy now?
>>322082038
in tsundere language, that means ''i want you to rape me''
>>322084409
Nigga no one forced you
Are the only english Kiseki games trails in the sky, trails in the sky SC and Cold Steel?
>>322084409
I won't be happy until I hear how much you're enjoying it, anon-kun
>>322084934
at the moment, yeah. Cold Steel II is being worked on as we speak, though.
>>322084934
Yeah and Cold Steel II
Remaining titles to be localized are the Third, Zero, Ao and Cold Steel III

Should I sell my Zeram Powders for 10000 for a good head start?
>>322085751
tsunderes are forNTR
>>322086240
Yeah i did. You will find more
I enjoy playing this on my vita but would really like to play it on my PC. Will Xseed show some love and bring it to pc soon.
Have y'all gone on PSN and grabbed the free shining pom bait trial pack DLC? Gives you three shining pom battles. Fair warning, though, they can be kinda tough if you don't go into it ready for a fight.
Good news is that you can fight them like any other monster in this game. No s crafts or food throwing necessary.
>>322086573
Xseed can't bring it to PC i think, isn't that kinda above their paygrade? They just localize other people's games iirc. Falcom itself would have to port it to PC
>>322085404
No, I'm judging a game's appearance on 5000 other game's appearances, dig?
It's different, and legitimate. I'm incredibly tired of this zero creativity Japanese setting.
