Have you played her game yet?
Hi I'm playing SC and I just beatBleublanc's first robo-surprise in the old school, and I hope that laterOlivier finishes him off in style at some point near the end of the game. It'd be the perfect end to this likely rivalry.
Just thought I'd share it. I won't look at this thread anymore though.
>>342680028literally who?
>35% off
I'll wait till it gets cheaper.
>>342680809
This. I got the first game at ten bucks, it was a nice playthrough, but it's aggrivating at times. I'll wait until it at least hits 15 dollars.
i'd rather play jade's game
>>342681204
Who?
I want to play Lloyd's game and waifu up Noel instead.
>>342680028
of course, third game when?
Don't you mean Renne's game?
>>342681932
Patience anon, it might be out by the end of the year.
>>342682645
what are these, screenshots for ants?
Played FC some time ago, SC is in the backlog. I'll get around to it someday.
>>342682376
Early 2017
>>342682396new chapter when?
Gagharv trilogy or bust. I'll take a shitty translation over no translation, you fucking hussy.
>>342682645
Is the fan translation for Zero really going to be machine translated? I hear a lot of people say it is.
>>342683894
No, they have actual translators this time.
Just beat Walter at Axis Pillar. I don't want this game to end.
>Screenshot taken in March
I reaaaaly don't want this ride to end bros
>>342684590
Pain is inevitable. Embrace it, because memories are more important in the long run.
>>342684590
Time to start Cold Steel?
>>342685182
Everyday is Cold Steel day!
How is the gameplay for this?
I still have to play your second game, but I'm lazy.
>>342685727
Absolute chore without cheat engine speed hack. It's nice that you can escape 100% from non quest fights.
>>342685727
>>342686503
It also has visible encounters so it's easy to avoid random monsters.
>>342685182
That would make him want to go back to SC more
>>342685651
Can't wait until September, Cold steel 1 turned out much better than I expected.
>>342680028
>le her game meme
I hope you die a violent death.
>>342681015
You people are crazy. I can't imagine beating FC and not immediately picking up SC after that damn twist ending.
I guess I'm just the kind of guy that gets completely engrossed in something.
>>342687705
Good point
Joshua's mother tried to kill him in The Third.
>>342680028
A friend's older bro randomly bought it for me on steam. I have yet to touch it. Should I?
I've only played Rean's game
>>342680028
The OST was the only good part of her game
>>342690468
You mean Alisa's.
>>342690249
Oh boy, a Renne for everyone!
>>342691781
Blinded. too much best girl.
dead thread for a dead series
>>342693032

Lucky. Some of us else had no choice but to wait 4 years to find out.
>>342694414
Second half is too if Cold Steel 1 and 2 are anything to go by
>>342695317
Don't worry anon, I'm sure Cold Steel 3 will make up for it.
>>342694837
Lets make it happen
>>342680028
Not yet. Once I finish SMT II-IV Final I will.
>>342691731
No, he mean Rean's.
>>342680028
Estelle is too much of a ditz for me to like her
>>342680028
No and nobody should. The first game is absolute trash and one of the worst turn based jrpgs I've had the misfortune of playing.
>Worst fighting system
>Story that does not pick up after 12 hours, in fact literally NOTHING HAPPENS by then.
I don't say your RPG game absolutely must have something very big happen early, but if it does not, then the atmosphere, fighting system or something else must make up for it.
>Bad characters, Joshua is maybe ok but Estelle pisses me off. Even her face looks retarded and ugly
Even the music is only good, not godlike. It's nowhere near Ys tier. How did Falcom fuck it up this bad? Buy Ys series instead, all are good (of PC ones, Napishtim is by far the worst though - but still great)
If you want a good RPG, take Grandia II. Greatest fighting system, good characters, great plot twist, awesome storytelling, best turn based rpg imho
Playing it right now, up to the last chapter.
>>342693858
The new ones didn't bother me when I played the demo of SC Evo, but then I haven't played but like, two hours of the original games (just the first one). I do like the old ones better though, and I plan to play them instead of the Evo versions, so I'll be able to enjoy them.
>>342697782
Nah, its Emma's game
>Start trails the other day after having it for like a year

>Doing some early mission to go to a farm to clear some monsters

>one plant, like 6 fucking flying cats with 200 HP and able to do over 100 damage a hit
This is worse than Dragon-in-a-box.
>>342684543
They also have a retarded autist for an editor. I hope the other translators are good enough for his bullshit to not matter but I'm not very hopeful.
>>342699249
If you know Jap you might as well play the Evo versions, just for the voice acting. It's great.
The soundtrack and character portraits aren't great but then the original character portraits aren't amazing or anything either and the original soundtracks suck shit too. Elevator music and all of two decent tracks.
>>342701242
Yeah, I do like what little of the VA that I've heard. The PC versions are cheaper though, and I don't even know if I'll like the games yet (FC is alright so far, but a couple hours isn't enough to judge a JRPG). I might get the Evo versions later if they drop in price a bit, if I like the series enough.
>>342683894
>>342701090
>>342684543
I can confirm that they have actual translators working on the script.
I dont agree on editors Xseed hate but from what i've seen of the script it reads well enough.
>>342700585
I never found out that you got progressively stronger skills(including AOE) as you put more of the same type of quartz next to each other until after the prologue
>>342700585
Its honestly not meant to be that hard. Are you under-leveled?
I STILL need to finish my all-bracer-points run on nightmare.
>>342702959
Good luck anon, still got plenty of time before 3rd releases.
5 hours and only 62 replies.
Threads pretty dead.

Wait, what? Is this true?

>That quest with the worms that shit out Earthquakes and have a billion health
>>342685727
It's so, SO slow. And despite having strategic potential, fights are too easy to give a shit about anything other than "hit it until it dies".

What do you not like about her?besides forced doomguy translation
>>342705316
His time will come, after Cold Steel 2 is out.
>>342706031
Those Earth shaking counter attacks were horrible. Ended up having to slowly kill them one be one.
>>342706031
>>342707954
>not clumping them up and perma delaying them with Joshua
So how is FC? I have the opportunity to buy it but it just reminds me of Ys: Origins and Oath with that artstyle. Which makes sense considering all three are from Falcom, but I'm trying to avoid spending money on something that may turn out to be generic.
>>342680028
I just bought this game because /m/ told me to
Boy I can't wait for those robots to show up.
I've played all the Ys games (including stuff like Ys 5 PS2 port, various version of Ys III, etc). Legend of Heroes does not catch my interest.
>>342708232
Wrong game? I think Trails of Cold steel is the one you want.
>People say that SC has amazing characterization
>Joshua is just "I've seen some shit" kid trained to be a killer
>Loewe is stupid and his whole reason his "Well, I want to see everyone get fucked in the ass and see if the can handle it since my waifu died"
>Renne is barely explained and just hinted
>Weissman is just bad for the sake of being bad
>Walter and Zane are just retarded as fuck
>Estelle is the same dumb bimbo
>Tita and Agate's was incredible predictable.
>Schera and the other chick was underwhelming.
The only cool character was Olivier/Olivert. The rest was incredible lackluster.
>>342680028
Sorry I said those mean things about you.
>>342708656
I was kidding. I know there's barely any robots at all in this game.
>>342709047
Care to elaborate?
>>342709412
Here, have a mech.
>>342680028
Don't forget to preorder CS2 afterwards.
>>342712994
Undub voices for me then.
>>342680028
Sure did Estelle, so can we get Lloyd's game already?
>>342715324
This
>>342715324
Just got my plat for Ao Evo this Wednesday.
Will buy the English version for my bro who barely understand moon-runes.
>>342717081
Would be good if it actually got an English release.
>>342680028
I should have gotten this instead of YS 1 and 2. Fuck the YS1 final boss I haven't been this mad at a video game in a while.
Trails in the sky or Grandia II?
I like Breath of Fire 3/4 so which one is more like it.
>>342719029
Grandia II is a masterpiece, Trails in the Sky is pretty bad so go with Grandia. If you like Falcom get Ys series, forget their shitty RPG series.
Anyway, neither of these two is very much alike Breath of Fire but I'd say Grandia is a tiny bit closer to BoF. Still different.
>>342718841
Do you have silver items equipped?
Keep trying, you may get lucky and remember to never stay in one spot.
I already did. I'm playing Rean's game right now.
>>342719624
I'm not saying Grandia 2 is a bad game but it's far from smooth technically and plot is as generic as jrpg plots go.
>>342680028
is this actually a good game on its own, or just run of a mill jrpg with weeb/waifu bullshit on top of it?
>>342681015
Yeah I'm waiting for a bigger sale
>>342685651
Go away Alisa, people play the game for Towa and not you!
>>342691731
It's Towa's game!
>>342722949
Honestly, her game doesn't have a lot of waifu pandering shit in it, it's really very old school anime with some fun world building.
>>342722949
It came out several years before waifu RPGs were even a thing
If you're into more personal, wholesome adventures with a lot of lore and a good script, then yeah it's pretty great.
Do I need to play the first game to play Cold Steel?
>>342723542
It's Alisa's game!
>>342724665
Well you will enjoy it more if you play the first games but no.
>>342724665
You don't really NEED to, but I think Sky FC/SC are a much better introduction to the world thann Cold Steel. Ideally you should play everything in order, but that unfortunately isn't an option right now unless you know Japanese
Why did Cold Steel turn the series into harem shit? The interactions between Olivier/Schera and Tita/Agate in FC and SC are one of the reasons the games are so great. Making all of the girls lust after the MC narrows the possibilities in party interactions so much.
>>342724665
>>342724738
No, but like that anon said, I would also say its worth it to play Trails in the sky first.
>>342724932
New writer plus they wanted to go after the Persona dollar. I'm hoping the Calvard Republic arc will be rid of this shit.
>>342724738
>>342724867
>>342724938
So both FC and SC before Cold Steel then?
>>342724665
Playing Cold Steel first robs you of a handful of "Holy fucking shit" twists in FC/SC.
Play them first.
>>342724727
It'sCrow'sgame!
>>342725237
Yes, they're also both on steam sale right now.
>>342725205
It'd be nice to have a female protagonist again or at the very least a grown adult male protagonist.
>>342725205
>yfw Calvard turns into idolshit
>>342725459
That's what trails 3rd is for.
>>342725459
How about grown adult female protagonist?
>>342725576
I thought of something worse. What if Calvard's MC was someone magically transported from Earth to capitalize on that parallel world trend?
So who's truly the worst girl in the entire series?Pic definitely not related.
>>342725773
Praise the Grandmaster
>>342725923
Christ, how terrifying.
>>342725773
Adult female news reporter protagonist who is a Taito Practitioner, implement some copy-paste system of the request board involving investigation and/or interview and points system should be News Point or Reporter Point.
>>342694837
>8 hours later and thread barely makes it through by getting a post every 20 minutes

>>342725994

>>342725576
The region with chinese assassin and kung fu trade corporation? They wouldn't
>>342726214
Just preparing myself for the worst, anon. Then again, didn't they use an idol theme for Tokyo Xanadu?
>>342699157
>If you want a good RPG, take Grandia II
holy shit, if Grandia II is a good RPG I don't think anyone in their right mind should play any RPG ever
shit taste at its finest, you must be enjoying persona and xenogears as well to make such a claim
>>342726357
I think so, and since the game exceeded expectations they may do it again.
>>342726073
Either that or it takes place in the future where everyone is playing a VR MMO through the Orbal Network
>>342726583
So Towa could potentially be playing as Towa? Neato.
Still no news about akatsuki?
>>342680028
What are these Trails tread doing in the current year? I beat her game like 10 years ago.
Is life as Lloyd hell?
>>342726812
Such a qt design wasted on a brage, why
>>342726840
Her second game was released less than a year ago.

Nothing yet. Wonder how it'll unfold, aren't they revisiting Liberl?

Erebonia a best.
If Nayuta no Kiseki took me ~60 hours (doing all the stages but no side quests after the first chapter) how long would a real Trails game take me to complete in Japanese?
>>342680028
Yes.
I also have FC for PSP.
>>342727881
How good's your Japanese and how much do you explore the world?
>>342727763
There's a reason why they started pandering to personafags
>>342727763
EREBONIANS GET OUT
THIS IS A LIBERLIAN THREAD
>>342727970
Well I wouldn't say it's anywhere near good but I can work through stuff like Nayuta and Zwei with a dictionary at hand. I've been playing Zwei II currently and made an effort to talk to everyone when there's new dialogue. At ~35 hours I've beaten the third boss.
I didn't quite realize just how slow I am. Damn.
>>342728554
I should add that with Nayuta, along with not doing side quests I didn't really bother talking with the NPCs either.
>>342728554
>>342728696
Maybe 40 or so hours then for FC? Especially if you're gonna be skipping sidequests.
>>342729139
How about Zero Evo? I think I might pick that up after playing 3rdin English. The reason I skipped side quests in Nayuta was because I planned on doing them in NG+ so I'd have more fresh stuff to get me through. Still haven't gotten around to it though. In a real Trails game I'd try to do as many as I could.
>>342693858
I'm surprised Xseed didn't localize vita remake.
>>342729418
Apparently it's because they'd have to deal with two companies aside from Falcom. They'd also have to do a ton of dub work. In the end it probably wouldn't be worth all the effort.
I'm playing her game right now.
The game certainly picked up after the play.
Probably took me a month just to get to the end of the play because I was just playing it every now and then.
It's been 2 days of playing now and I'm at the final chapter. I beat Lorence in the castle just a few minutes ago. Currently running through the giant copy-pasted Zemurian dungeon. It's alright.
Zeiss chapter is best chapter.
>>342729864
Zeiss is definitely where the game goes into "Oh shit" mode.
>>342729418
Hella expensive to get the Jap voices, and as >>342729614 said, there's companies besides Falcom to deal with.
Honestly, kinda feel like XSEED hyped up the Capuas a bit much. They had their own background with a description that felt like they were gonna be recurring enemies, but no, they were rendered irrelevant at the end of Chapter 1.
>>342680490But Bleublanc reappears in Cold Steel.
>>342732979>When you realize that only two people die in the entirety of FC/SC
I actually kind of like it. Makes it keep that lighthearted adventure feeling it has.
>>342680028
i FORCED myself to play it, but i couldnt get past the second or third town, its so boring and the combat is shit
i feel like i've been succesfully trolled
I cannot wait for the 3rd.
This fan translated scene gets me major hype!

Part 2
https://youtu.be/EZMQkIP5-xE
Why are Trails politics so interesting?
>>342702684
That would have been nice for the game to explain. Not that I'm getting any time stuff anyways, but I can at least attempt to burning nuke most of those cats down quickly.
>>342702725
Haven't gone out of my way to grind, but I haven't purposely skipped any encounters either
