Comfy
It perfected the jrpg formula
we are so back
>>721095827Culo
>>721095827SLAP
>>721095027She shouldn't fuck her brother
>>721095027It is everything I hoped for. This is now my personal definition of a perfect JRPG. Also I wanna ejaculate inside Estelle's sweaty spats and have her wear them around until she becomes pregnant. Then I'll leave her for Schera.
>>721097618You need to take responsibility
How do I put Estelle in a bikini? Is it an unlockable or do I have to wait until they add more DLC shit to steam?
>>721095027Downloading right now hope its fun
>>721095027ESTELLESEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
>>721099756She is a child
>>721095027If remake is comfy then OG is cozy, play the original anon.
Censored.Japanese.Script.
>>721100767Already did twice
Estelle is perfect
>>721095354Jill is a fun character. I wish she showed up more but I can't think of anything that she could contribute to future arcs.
>>721103202just make jill a church agent Just kidding.
I implore someone to post her.
>>721103960
Is the script still good or did they butcher it?
Did nu-Falcom really have to include Rean in the hotspring scene in Elmo village? Why did Joshua act like a submissive retard?
>>721100837I hope they brought back Arai Satomi for Dorothy. I absolutely love her voice.
>>721104432I mean her in the remake.She's in the game, right?
>>721104725Ah.>SpoilerYes. She was even the boss in the demo (and kicked players asses)
>>721104698Every Japanese VA in the remake except Zin and Oliver got recast
>>721104450Nevermind, I just bought, downloaded, installed, and started the game and they already ruined my favorite line from the original 'My gift is a boy?!' to 'Who is this boy?'.
>>721104725She's in. Also instead of pistols she now dual weilds shotguns.
>>721095027>censored>comfyNo.
How is the balance in this remake? Is Estelle still functionally useless? Is Josh still a screen wiper?
>>721095027Just letting you all know that when we (nazis) win childhood friend couples will be mandatory.>but you'll die aloneYes. And it will be beautiful.
>>721105129But that's more accurate?
>>721095027Holy fuck I hate LRG.
>>721105357Both have been balanced a bit more towards each other. Estelle definitely pulls her weight now.
This game seems fun but I don't wanna get into the entire series and its autistically huge world and story
>>721097618olivier pleaseyou forgot about joshua
>>721106261Play FC, play SC, nope the fuck out. First two games are a complete story.
>>721106261Skies is the best part, just play those.
>>721095027Im having fun
>can't cheese (mini)-bosses with easy confuse spamThis game has NO HEART. NO SOVL.
>>721106261Just play the first games and pretend the rest doesn't exist. It's what everyone sane does.
>>721106261Sky is the peak, Play SC, 3rd and then pretend the series ended there
Holy shit, did they really remake this game? It's one of my favorite JRPGs. How good a PC do I need to run it? I'm in another country until next year, and all I have is this shitty laptop, but I'd really like to buy it to play it.
>>721106961It has a demo.
>>721105620Literal, textual accuracy isn't as important as dialogue sounding natural and capturing the feeling of the moment. The old line changes meaning, but does a better job conveying that Estelle is confused rather than just wanting to know who he is.
>>721106261Play 3rd.If you like it, play FC.
>>721107434If it's bad writing in the original then it should be bad writing in the translation too. I don't appreciate "punching up" translations.
>>721107434>The old line changes meaningThat makes it bad.
>>721107652It's not about punching the script up, it's about getting the same reaction out of people whose language and culture is entirely different.Some scripts call for 1:1 and some need to be handled more liberally because they rely on cultural context. I don't think anon's example is the best, and I think the translation has multiple gaffs, but overall it's really good.
>>721107793Only if you're the type of person who thinks every English translation of Virgil's poetry that currently exists is dogshit.Context and intent matter.
>>721095027Did they fix the switch 2 version, or should I play it on ps5 pro?
>>721095027>figure i'll just check out the EN VA for less reading, my japanese is toddler level>hear Estelle's VA>figure i'll just stick to the substhat actress has done so many attempted young cutsie roles yet has only ever done decently with voicing Tharja as a vampy obasan. i don't get it.
>>721108412oh and Emma from Sekiro, she should be cast for hags only.
>>721107993Yeah, that's why the old line is bad.
>>721100837Reminder in just 3 years we get DSLR, Laptop, Internet, and Mechas
>>721105045Oliver seiyuu is legendary (like Gintoki from Gintama tier) so he shouldnt not be recast
>>721108714You're the kind of person who would see "dollars to donuts" in an English script and say the Portuguese version should specifically mention donuts.
>>721108783We already have mechas, Patermater is in SC...
>>721108783>3 yearsMecha show up like a month later.
>>721108783Sky already had mechs bro. Literally FC's final boss
Estelle's panties
peak comfy hours right now bros. we fucking made it.
>>721109017Estelle has spats in this game anon, she doesn't wear a skirt until SC
>>721109017Censored in 2nd remake
>>721108991Ancient tech doesn't count, at least point at Renne and Tita's mechs.
>buy a japanese game written by japs>get angry because it's written by japswhy do you people flock to anime shit in the first place when you clearly hate it
>>721109219Renne isn't even until SC and Tita doesn't get her mini mecha until 3rd howevertough
>>721109250Nobody said that, tardo
Is Liberl the USA of Trails ? They got Air advantage
>>721108097What's wrong with the switch 2 version? The demo works fine on mine
>>721109371No, it's actually based on Thailand.
Is the game good? How's the censorship?
>>721109250I love games written by Japanese devs.Trails has a fucking terrible script and would be way better if the word count was slashed in half. A ton of scenes are elongated to a ridiculous degree by characters restating the obvious and talking around ideas because the writer was struggling to convey it succinctly.
>>721109383Play it on your pc or ps5. It looks way different.
>>721109530this. Trails has terrible pacing and stock Japanese phrases, the series was better when xsneed removed most of it
>>721109349>tardo
>>721108906No, I'm the type that recognizes really shitty localization that butchers characterization, which is exactly what that old line did.
>>721109349>nobody said that, chuddie>i just want the line to be made retard proof because despite me bringing up muh context matters because apparently i'm a retard that never heard the phrase "what the hell is this?" in other similar situations
>>721109432Falcom/Kondo has said that but I don't see it at all. There's nothing remotely "Thailand" about Liberl. The way I see the countries >LiberlTraditional fantasy kingdom starting to industrialise >Crossbell That very specific Vita era where every Japanese game had a vaguely 'modern sci-fi' aesthetic. If you played any JRPG around 2010 or so you'll know what I mean, the Geofront would fit right in Neptunia or whatever. >Erebonia Europe/Germany 100 years ago. Erebonia has the most distinct analogue to the real world. >Calvard Basically any modern day first world country. It's a mishmash of USA/France with a Chinatown sprinkled in.
>>721097618average trails player
>>721109432Really?
>>721095027is that rean?
>>721095027>remake 2/5 of a game>sell it for full price
Never played the original, should I play the remake or the original?
>>721109530Sounds no different from a Rockstar game where they have to fill space while you walk/ride to each mission so they just have the VAs repeat their concerns/motivations over and over again. Most games are way too long and bloated to have good writing. There is almost never any real attempt at editing or trimming.
>>721110623Well if they could do it with FF7, why not this?
>>721095027Boring ass game
How is the switch 2 version?
Chinese women love
>>721110702They didn't even remake 2/5 of FF7, just the first 6 hours or so stretched to about 30.
>>721110623Now imagine paying full price in 2004 without knowing you would have gotten blueballed and had to wait for the sequel
Have they said if they are remaking the latter half of the game?
>>721111017If you mean SC, the game end with a trailer for the remake.
I'm gonna wait for some mods and a discount, don't like what I'm seeing right now.
>>721111214I hope there'll be a mod that keep the spats but they're extremely detailed, tight and sweaty (can be from another mod).
>>721108889Not hearing original Loewe feels wrong
>>721110659It's kinda like that, except in a "I don't trust my audience or myself" way. It's fine if a couple characters are like this, but EVERYONE in Trails has to rephrase what they're saying twice and explain exactly what's going on and the subtext of every word or action.The part in SC where Estelle feels the need to explain that while Renne is a villain, she thinks that she's not truly evil and can find repentance and therefore she will actively try to find and save her is exasperating. Have some faith in your players to understand basic character interactions, holy fuck.
>>721106261I do not agree with the other replies.Ao no kiseki(the fifth game) imo is the peak of the series despite the tone already starting to shift towards cold steel(aka satan). If you can stomach 5 games, then do it (1,2,3,zero,ao). If you can't, you can stop after 2 (it's also a really good game, only second to ao imo).
>>721111214Estelle canonly wears spats on every Trails games. EXCEPT Sky 2nd. Can someone prove me wrong by posting her Student Outfit on 1st ??
>>721112539>Ao no kiseki(the fifth game) imo is the peak of the seriesGenuinely please explain how. I'm like 30 hours in, on the day after the red constellation attacked the city, and I'm bored out of my mind. Everytime it feels like it might get interesting I go back to doing odd jobs in the same damn city I've been in for the past 50 hours
>>721112665She wears panties in the 3rd too.
>>721112957Not them, but it has a good ending that gets you hyped for the Erebonia arc.Haha...
>>721112957i haven't played the game in a long long time and i can't remember what happens when and i also don't wanna spoil anything by mistake. the game got very exciting for me when an event happens at the top of the crossbell tower, that's about as discreetly as i can put it. one thing i can remember is i pretty much played the last 12 hours of the game in one sitting. regardless, to each his own. all trails games have parts that feel like a slog and i completely understand you getting bored with doing odd jobs at crossbell. i just think the story arc is the most engaging out of the 3 and ao has the highest highs in the series. the plot twist caught me unprepared too
>>721105045Why did no one tell me this before I bought the game? Fuck.
>>721114381Bro....
I remember someone on here said Estelle has a huge ass in CS4/Reverie, is that true? Tried to look it up I can't find anyone but /v/ autists willing to mention it
If they retcon Renny tragic backstory im gonna commit a crime
>>721114705
>>721114381Most of the seiyuus already retired from old age anon.....
>>721114794Everyone raves about star door 15 but I like 13 more.
I heard there’s a toggle for performance on Switch 2Anyone find it or is it just not there?
>>721114705It's really enormous by Japanese standards, which isn't saying that much.
>>721114705she can't compete with the braphog that is Rixia tho
>>721115084Apparently the Switch 2 version was supposed to get a day 1 patch that never hit
The motion blur is unbearable.
>>721116980Turn it off?
>>721117631You can't turn it off in this game.
>>721095027Censored garbage. How does a niche developer operating on shoestring budgets whose life depends on fan service suddenly afford to have an ethics department censoring games like square enix?
>>721117631nta but Motion Blur is hardcoded in, you can't turn it off in settings
How are Reverie and Daybreak
>>721118391Awful. Play the Sky remake. The writing is unfathomably awful past Azure.
>>721118450I heard Daybreak was when the writing got less shit after Coldsteel + Reverie.And then Daybreak 2 went right back to being retarded.
>>721118391I enjoyed Reverie more than any of the cold steel games
>>721118582Nah, it just starts out that way, but by chapter 4 it's back to Cold Steel at its worst, and it somehow gets worse than that by the end of the game. Daybreak 2 is just Daybreak 1 at its worst for the whole game.
>>721118708Hey, half a game that's actually good is above average for this series.
why is no one discussing the gameplay? is it always like this with this type of a game?
>>721119053>Go into a jrpg thread>People are talking about the story and characters IE: the reason anyone plays any jrpg WOOOOOW
>>721095027How's the remake? Any call forward to the future games? The general is so schizophrenic I don't dare ask there.
>>721095027trails games would have been better without the mechs
>>721119053Because you're a retard nigger
>>721112957It's just typical (previously) jp only titles being overhyped because only their echo chamber played it. I found it to be as middling as the other games, it's more tightly written than the cold steel games but that's not saying much. It has MCU ending where you're told to look forward to the next product, crossbell has no conclusive ending until 5 games later.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLAYxiAXad0christ, those english VAs are crap

>>721111439BASED anon.Seeing tight spats on a nice butt has its own appeal.
>>721121808Sadly a lot of RPGs do that last oneI'm not even sure if I can count how many from this gen alone that's thrown in item packs as DLCs or pre-order/early purchase bonuses
>>721120651Falcom's been extremely jewey and exploitative since like 2013. All their games are like this.
Looking good bros, Falcom will probably sell 20k copies this time, a new record!
>>721121808>>721122431The FFT remaster is an especially funny case "inventory" trash dlc because it's shit you can literally get after the first battle in the game lol, it's not even end game stuff or even mid game level equipment

>>721123025>reaching this hardYou sound like Zelda spergs when Hyrule Historia dropped.
>>721122918The only english dub I actually preferred was the first Xenoblade and I think it's because they used British theater actors. Good ones too, Melia's VA went on to become a celebrity.
>>721123325you didn't play kaistupid EOP
>>721123303Their thinking is that you now have two cakes instead of one
Its better than gaybreak
>>721123624That would make sense if it was a free upgrade. Falcom double dipped to get a Switch 2 devkit.
>>721122469>PCWow the least popular platform
How freely can you move the camera around? Xenoblade for example lets you view pretty much every angle you want, but many modern games cuck you when trying to look upwards.Yes I want to spend at least 75% of my gametime locked onto Estelle's shapely behind.
>>721095027>>721098074Am I the only one who thinks Estelle is peak NTR material?
I had forgotten that this game was full of exploding monsters.
>>721123303they did the same with ys8 and oath in felghana, too late to bitch about itthe new content in nordics is nothingburger anyways
>>721125465Oath didn't add a whole new story, and nobody got the vita version of ys 8 overseas anyway
How's the game on the deck?
>>721125519oath in felghana has full voice acting anon, that mattered more than just meme dungeons you play for 2 hours. i think the pc version got the psp content eventually but that's not on falcom for sure.>it doesnt count because le overseasretard
>>721125726>Muh voices>Calls me the retardRetard
>>721124936You can do that, or keep it in front to enjoy the jiggle physics. The problem is character models turn invisible if the camera gets too close which means you can't look up skirts.
>>721125783ao also gets enhanced port on vita with exclusive sidequest and music arrangement that aren't on the pc version (even the ones nisa released), or does that not count again?
how do i get into this series? is 1st chapter an okay starting point or do i need to play 50 other games first?
SEXOOOOO
>>721124936It starts to collide with the floor so it starts zooming in but models only seem to vanish when it's at risk of clipping.But you'll be spending most of your time sprinting which makes characters lean forward.>>721125726I played Oath on Steam over 10 years ago and I don't remember any voice acting unless you mean the other remake
Is Hahaman in this?
>>721126021>I played Oath on Steam over 10 years ago and I don't remember any voice acting unless you mean the other remakeIt doesn't have voice acting on pc, but the psp port gets one along with many other bonuses. Falcom has weird localization process so the english version gets released later with no psp content.
>>721095027Did they confirm 2nd and 3rd? I don't wanna play this just get stuck for 5 years waiting for 2nd or play the vita version or something
>>7211273512nd is confirmed there's even a trailer, 3rd we don't know
>>721126315>many other bonusesYou're going to have to be more specific.

>>721127601It's been known for a couple of days now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF5WkAdv2tE
you might as well remake SC if you remade FC. many areas and models are reused.the question mark is if they'd remake 3rd, or Crossbell or if they proceed directly to remaking Rean's games because ha ha.....
>>721125849>>721126021Doesn't sound too bad then. Cheers anons.
>>7211278703rd would require less work than SC.
>>721126004where is the bikini
>game finally has some real fucking gameplay compared to the originalFinally, a game and not a drop dead boring VN
Alright. This is how you remake a game. The whole opening is really great. It captured my heart. Especially with the original OST. Man, i am the fucking target audience, for once.
AND game has jiggle physics. Why is nobody talking about Estelle's knockers?
What I like about this game is that it's a full 3D game, but in a strange way still feels like the 2.5D original in how simple-looking the environment is. It feels like early 2000s without looking it.
does estelle do analthis is important
>>721127460PC - original release no voice actingPSP - voice actingSwitch - PSP voice acting and new character art
>>721129456What about the hyper mode thing or whatever?
>>721095118This. Doesn't get whiter.
>>721128124Only Estelle and Joshua have swimsuit DLC, which has been delayed, everyone should have a towel costume because of the hot spring event
>>721112506>It's kinda like that, except in a "I don't trust my audience or myself" way.they basically pump these games out once a year and they need to be 60-70 hours minimum or players will seethe that it's too short. the end result is them padding the script with everyone just repeating the same shit a million times.
>>721130190Everyone: RIGHT!
i..am...estelle
>>721124570when are we going to stop pretending like consoles matter in 2025?
>>721130468Majority of Falcom's sales are on console, and it's not even close
>>721126052no (and that's a good thing)
Does anyone remember when XSEED required you to read their shitty chest message fanfiction to get 100% achievements?
>>721130653
>>721130795This literally made me grind my teeth.
>>721126052No but Joshua's lines have tons of haha
>>721095027I don't like Estelle and Joshua. Wake me when Zero and Azure get a remake.>>721121663Depends, do you like running around talking to NPCs for hours upon hours trying to get every little detail while the plot slowly develops? You might enjoy it. If you want something with snappier pacing I'd go with something else. Honestly I wouldn't recommend this for a first time JRPG experience.
>>721132158This is not real.
>>721119053Actual players are playing the game.The usual suspects are trolling the thread.
I'm enjoying this quite a bit but it's really making me miss the localization in the original game. The script just felt more lively.
>>721111214I am so fucking sick of censorship it's unbelievable
>>721132469What does that say about you?I bought it but won't play until tomorrow.
>>721132435Oh yes it is. This is what Reddit is crying over being removed in the remake.
>>721132472How lively are we talking?
>start game in japanese>EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH!?!? YAMETE KUDASAI HENTAIIIIII~>switch to english>ugh, cmon you bozo shake a leg will ya???
im so glad not to worry about retarded reddit memes and misrepresentations. i actually enjoy reading the dialogue for once. hope they keep translating it like this and if they remove eng dub, all problems will be solved.
>>721128436The arranged soundtrack is great too. I wasn't expecting it to be in the game.
>>721132830I haven't played the Crossbell games but HOLY SHIT these are so bad.
>>721132876>plays japanese games>doesn't like the japanese voice and/or idiomsthe mark of the tourist.
the music in the sewers really hit me nostalgia wise
>>721132830i always thought the chest messages were gay never understood why people loved them so much
>>721132680I meant as a proportion of posts, not exclusively. I played a bit earlier today.
>>721132876I'm 99% sure it has a voice volume slider.
>>721132983It's the optional dialogue if you check a chest after opening it. It is indeed stupid, and that's because it's literally invented by the translators.
>>721118391Reverie is actually pretty fun despite its kinda pants on head retarded story. There's lots of fun side content and the main plot actually moves at a decent pace for once. Daybreak 1 I liked a lot when it came out but unfortunately the sequels going absolutely nowhere kind of ruined it for me.
>>721132910Game sold 2x or 3x more than their Daybreak shit. So anyone that says their games need to be localized for some niggermarket like the ameritroons will not work. Falcom understands they dont need neither xseed nor nisa. Nobody does.
>>721095027never playing this demake slop
>>721109558Why lie about something so easily disprovable
Rean is such a stupid name.
>>721106261The problem is pretty much entirely on Cold Steel. Ao and Zero are side sequels enough to be contained in their own right, but CS overtook everything with trying to be a light novel of a franchise to the excesses.
>>721132830geofront chest messages were horrible.I liked xseeds though I'm not exactly sad to see them gone.
i'm straight up having a good time right now, bros
>>721106261you honestly really can just play the sky games and leave it there and you really don't miss mucheach arc after sky is noticably worse than the one that came before it with the latest arc barely even being worth playing to even the most obsessed fan
>>721095027Looks nice but I still need to finish reverie.
>>721125175Explain
>>721133471sky is the worst arc thoughbeit. cold steel clears by miles
>>721132472I agree.
>>721133704sky is the best arc and cs is the worst arc
>>721133740nope. I am right and you are wrong, I'm afraid
>>721133586I'm also on reverie, have yet to buy daybreak or 1st chapter tho.
Anyone else waiting for the .nsp to drop?
>>721133756i regret to inform you that you are incorrect, sir
I like Sky and Cold Steel about equally but haven't played CS4 yet.
As someone who's never touched a Trails game before, I'm having a great time. I'm honestly kinda shocked how well the combat works, you'd think the action and turn based combat would butt heads but it worksAnd I'm also pleasantly surprised Estelle is the actual MC of this, and pretty much embraces that roleAlso she and Joshua totally end up together and fuck don't they?
>>721133950They do, but it's an anime game, meaning we no idea if they fucked or not.
>>721133950>As someone who's never touched a Trails game before, I'm having a great time.glad to have you on board, kind anon
>>721133787Smart move, I bought them when they came out.I haven't started nayuta either
>>721133950
>>721133950>spoilerYou just gotta believe.
how is the remake so far?I remember playing fc on the psp and beating it and then waiting on continuing because holy fuck fc was so long but then i never went back to it
>>721133950Do yourself a favor and drop the series after Second Chapter
>>721134425it's kino>>721134472kill yourself faggot
>>721134472Please don't insult Kevin's game like that.
>>721106261Just play the Sky games and Zero and Azure.
>>7211345453rd is a good game but the problem is that all the doors make you think that the rest of the series is going to be good but everything that sky 3rd sets up either goes nowhere or gets paid off in the absolute lamest possible way
>have to play slow enough for there to be tita mods before i acquire her
>>721134608Exactly. I love 3rd, but it's a trap.
I thought people hated demakes? Why is everyone suddenly praising this? Isn't $60 for a demake a bit high?
>>721134893looks good to me
Isn't this boob window a bit indecent?
>>721134608It doesn't matter. The doors themselves are great.
>>721134893how do you know it's a demake if you haven't played it you stupid faggot? >why is everyone suddenly praising a game that came out todayhave you tried NOT sucking cock?
>>721134967That's an important weapon in a bracer's arsenal.
>>721135150meant for >>721134984
>>721132435
>>721135026Yes, But 3rd doesn't feel complete without the completion of Renne's arc, and the completion of Renne's arc in Zero is great but Zero doesn't feel complete until you finish Azure and Azure is the beginning of the endless downward spiral. You could instead just stop at SC and get a finished fulfilling experience.
>>721135150in the remake she just says "wow, Schera sure is amazing"
>>721135231Crossbell is great, contrarianfag
Playing the demo after checking this thread out, so far I'm sold. Whoever came up with the idea of switching between action and turn based on the fly did a good job
>>721135382>Crossbell is greatUp until azure tree. That's where the downward spiral begins. In a Crossbell game.
>>721135505azure tree is the best finale dungeon in the franchise, I dont understand how you could achieve this level of contrarianism
>>721135440its technically their 4th attempt at this combat system but its definitely better than it used to be
>>721135440Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by that too even as a newfag to the series.Playing it off and on too and I'm still finding content within the demo. Makes me pretty glad that's how a lot of RPG demos are now.
turbo in Trails spoiled me so hard that i usually use cheat engine speedhack to play other jrpg's
>>721129963>no chocolate bikini girli hope the modders fix that
>>721135634nah man the azure tree sucksit goes on 3x longer than it needs to and there are so many retarded moments and it almost sours the game as a wholethe azure tree is the exact moment kiseki died
>>721135634You already know its not about the dungeon
>>721135634Nah, it was bad man, a total letdown and fucked up plot resolutions
>>721135926Kiseki never died. it has it's ups and downs but Kai is great
>>721135634Absolutely not, the best final dungeon is still in SC. Just pure kino.
>>721132876To like jap games without being a weeaboo is to suffer.
>>721135957These were good fights though.The leadups to each of them had intricate layouts and the cast had good personal motivations for beating their asses. vs Arios with the Roaring version of the battle theme is literally kino and then thats not even getting to the final boss.
SC final dungeon is the best final dungeon and anyone who argues is simply wrong.
>>721135989>Kai is great
>>721135989kai sucks ass dude
kai is bad because van doesnt pound the shit out of agnes's willing butt>unironically goes no way fag
>>721136330trust the process. there's still time
>>721132158>>721132830I laughed. You fags need to lighten up.
downloading it "legally" rn
Reminder that there was a chest that unironically went along the lines of "I clapped when he mentioned the Eight Leaves" and this is considered peak comedy by n*rm*es.
I don't support censored garbage. Anybody censors my games, I don't buy. It literally couldn't be any simpler than that. I'm in my mid 30s, I don't need some faggot western companies nannying what I can and can't see and deciding what is appropriate for me to see and what isn't. Fuck outta here.
I can't be the only retard who forgets to check the reward tab in the menu, right?I literally missed out on permanent stat boosts and was winging it the whole time with just a couple slots, super passive leveling just fucking around and some bought equipment
>>721109742NTA, but you're wrong. Reddit is super, super PC.
>>721136671i used to when it was a new system but i'm used to it now and i always see the notification in my peripheral when i go to the menu
>>721136709depends who you're talking to. if you're talking to an evil chud you can call him a retard or a homosexual and accuse him of liking trannies as an insult
>>721136376THERE'S NO TIMEIT'S ALL GONETHERE'S NO MORE TIME
>>721136837gonna need to see proof on that because all i have heard about it says its the ultimate left leaning echo chamber
>>721095027Is it just me or is the dialogue much less verbose than the original? I’m not talking about censorship or localization crap here, I mean even in the Japanese version the sentences seem much shorter and trimmed down compared to the original… Is it really a 1:1 remake with the dialogue? (again, not counting the self-censorship crap)
>>721136967Translators get paid for word. Also even if the localization is more faithful nips are way more stiff and polite which is why jrpgs localization used to be so different in the past
>>721136726yeah doesn't help I put it down for a little bit, but I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.I'm also neglecting cooking but not sure if the only recipe in the demo is the maple cookies or not>>721136967I can't compare but yeah each line seems fairly short and to the point. Which I kind of prefer but I'm also autistic about that especially with my own stuff
How the hell you find time to finish these games ? I have my endless deadlines i think im gonna get isekaied soon from redbull overdose.....I hate work so much
>>721135634I also enjoyed the Azure Tree. Even if there were some retarded parts, the fights, final boss, music, the bad end twist from Zero, Lloyd being able to see his brother again, and Lloyd's conversation with KeA were all great.
I'm getting towards the end of Reverie. I don't want to say goodbye to Hahaman... He's been with me for five games haha...
would kai 2 save the arc if it had even more pole dancing and canon harem for van?
>>721137403You'll see him again in Kai, Kai 2, and however many games they decide to spend on the last arc
Who was in the wrong here?
>>721137403Hopefully you like Taller Altina and Big boobed Millum on Kai
>>721137270I finished everything up to CS4 during Covid.
Finished the demo on hard. Writing and designs feel a little generic and tropey, and yet it works. I actually enjoy doing milimetric position adjustments during combat to use skills while trying to target more and more enemies at once
>>721095027I think my favorite part is just walking around talking to people. I love the NPCs.
>>721137838tfw you turn off turbo to find that perfect spot to get that last bitch ass nigga in range
>>721134967heh
Should I play this or the original first?
>>721135227alright this got a chuckle out of me
>>721130190If it was just to pad for time, they'd add more filler combat. No, the morons who write this stuff really do feel the need to reaffirm every statement.
>>721138219did Shizuna always have a huge ass
>>721130795>>721132158>>721132830>>721135227Reminds me of the gravestone messages in Sacred. I enjoyed reading them.https://www.sacred-legends.de/grabsteine.html
>>721095027Ok so for music, what's the difference between standard and original? They sound the same. I picked arranged since I assume that's music made for the remake.It's been years since I played the original on PSP, so I barely remember the story. But it is nice seeing the beginning like this. I'm mad I enabled the DLC, now I have to restart because it's all cheat items.
JYB has no range. All his characters sound like Ichigo. I immediately recognized Joshua the moment he spoke.
>>721139047This is why we don't listen to dubs around here.
>>721138507Definitely original
>>721106261I wanna play the later games because this chick is hot. But I don't have the patience for the anime tropes. I can tell she'll be in love with the bland MC but get extremely shy when anything even slightly flirty happens.
>>721106961This game is an anime game so it isn't really demanding. It should run on anything unless your laptop is like 10 years old.
>>721139245Cold steel 1 is comfy
What soundtrack is better? Standard, Arranged, or Original?
>>721134893Kys tendiejeet doomposter.
>>721109017>>721109080How could you even tell she had panties in SC when the sprites don't show anything
>>721137067>>721137154Trails used to be known for it’s word count though, FC + SC were originally such a pain to localize back in the day because they were two of the wordiest JRPGs and video games in general ever, having word counts that matched up tot he fucking War of Peace novel, that was actually one of it’s main selling points.Did this remake actually trim down the script? Is the word count no longer ginormous like the original games?
>>721132584She wore spats in the original dickhead.
>>721139432THIS stupid ass meme again...
>>721108783And Erebonian Twitter?
>>721138779these games do have a ton of filler combat too.
>>721119053I didn't get to the battles yet. I started the game, marveled at the intro cutscenes, talked to dad, ran on the road to test how it runs, turned the game off because I need to sleep, and then started reading this thread.
>>721122918You're such a loser.
>>721122918Cold Steel EN dub is SOVL
>>721139679What meme?
>>721117812BlackRock/Vanguard invested in them just this year.
>>721140464
>>721133471>each arc after sky is noticably worse than the one that came before itHow is Crossbell worse than Sky? I always heard it was better and the actual best arc in the series back when it was Japan-only and stuck in localization limbo…
>>721140603Contrarianism anon. As soon as some niche game get somewhat popular suddenly is le bad
>>721140601Go figure. They all start acting the same once the good goy bux start rolling in. BlackRock/Vanguard is one of the most obvious and transparent Jewish financial conspiracies in the modern day, and there's a ton of them.
>>721140668By that logic people saying Crossbell sucks should insist that Sky sucks more since it's more popular and less niche.
>>721139432>Did this remake actually trim down the script?why would they do that? if anything the game is like 10 hours longer than the original, but that's mostly because exploring in 3D takes longer.
>>721140601Based. Fuck tendies trying to derail the threads while never talking about this in all their threads
Meanwhile Cuck no Cuckshitki is BAD. Calvard is such a fucking joke.
>>721140803This is just proof that money means shit when you are a cuck. Imagine being a millionaire man and your priority being to censor beauty, no, PAY to censor hot women (even 2d ones)No shit they are always malding for being inferior
>>721140976>posts the made-in-11-months dud out of 13 games, and specifically the dud after one of the best games in the seriesHorrible bait
how does it compare to the ff7 remake
>>721095027n00d mods out yet?
>>721141254literal shit is better than the ff7 remake
>>721141254Jrpg vs open world Ubisoft slop. Pick your poison anon
How does it run on Switch 2?
>>721141209Kuso is fucking terrible. There isn't a good Calvard game.
>>721141330FF7 Remake wasn't open world.
>>721106261I just treated it like watching gundam - play some games, take a break, then continue, then take a break again e.t.c. The plot isn't complicated at all, easy to follow, and you won't forget things. Even if you do, there are quick recaps in later games to remind yourself
>>721141408He's saying this remake is the Ubisoft slop and it's true.
I liked every single Kiseki game, including Nayuta
>>721106261Wait till the series finally finishes, not only because you wanna make sure Falcom sticks the landing enough for it to be worth your while, but also because there’s signs that the series is heading in a meta plot twist Star Ocean 3 esque “it was all just a simulation all along” direction.Stopping with Sky and waiting until the series finishes before continuing on means you won’t have to deal with it retroactively ruining Sky for you if it turns out they really are going to pull another Star Ocean 3.
>>721141763Same but I still have to play Naputa
>>721141849>retroactively ruiningThat's not how fiction works. A story doesn't stop existing just because someone writes a sequel.
I only want to play the remake just so I can put the girls in skimpy outfits. Surely mods will do this right?
>>721141924>That's not how fiction works. A story doesn't stop existing just because someone writes a sequel.Tell that to the Star Ocean fanbase then who keep saying they can’t look at 1 and 2 the same way again after what 3 did.
>>721106261Don't be fooled. It's not a big or complex world and story at all. All games after the fifth one are just major asspulls of random shit and nothing happens. You can play this remake trilogy and forget about the rest. The "overarching story" is Team Rocket going "wouldn't you like to know" before fucking off. For 12 consecutive games.
>>721141763>I liked every single Kiseki game, including NayutaEven Kuro 2?
>>721141978
>>721141995You are just too old for japanese games now
>>721142103Star Ocean 2 is still beloved because of it’s kino open ended gameplay systems, the story itself was ruined for most people though.
>>721125175Don't ever fucking quote me again.
>>721095027Can I just say it’s so nice to have an actual cute and canon romance back again after the cringe “choose your waifu” harem shenanigans from Crossbell onwards. I missed this…
>>721139340So you disagree with the vast majority of 4chan? I avoided preordering specifically because of our opinion about this game. You should have made up your mind while the demo was out.
>>721139245>>721112539https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr8PsV4dIGsCold Steel 1 is pretty palatable junk food, comfy and fun since you'll be exploring the areas for the first time with your classmates, and it's immersive as the first 3D game in the series, however the writing is complete slop with nothing below the surface level compared to the earlier games, which becomes especially apparent in CS2, so stopping after CS1 is optimal. CS1 is definitely not profound in any way but worth playing as long as you are having fun. But play Sky and Crossbell first.
>>721140943Huh? I thought we hated censorship in video games? Are you saying this game isn’t censored?
I love how mean everyone is to her in this game.
>>721139383If Estelle gets KOed she showed her panties in the original 2nd
>>721140943Tendies even defend censorship when convenient
>>721142432>profound>implying Sky and Crossbell areGranted I haven’t played Crossbell yet, but so far the series is definitely no Xenogears, Blade, or even FFVII. Just seems like your average generic JRPG sloppa.
>>721142668>Xenoblade >Deep
>>721120651Whatever.
>>721126004is that hatsune miku behind her
>>721120651what year are you living in tons of jrpgs now launch with obscene amounts of dlc, japs were just late to the kike game
>>721142668Xenoblade is average japanese anime plot though
>>721130468It's a matter of audience. I know a good amount of people who prefer to play this kinda thing on their PS5, and then yet more who wanna be able to ingest a tens of hours long JRPG in the comfort of their bed or some shit, and thus the Switch and Switch 2 become valid options.
>>721142837Steam deck is better
>>721142752>lateIt's been a thing from bamco since the ps3.
>>721142860Than the Switch 2? Factually untrue, from a hardware standpoint.
>>721141849That is incredibly fucking stupid, for both reasons.
>>721142938No, it's still better>Cheaper games>Emulation >Free onlineAlso, Deck 2 will be even better
>Crop muncher fight on the farmFuck I just got orb checked didn't I?
>>721142975It's just a schizo anon. He posts something similar in every thread.
>>721142982>Deck 2Is this something that's actually happening? Kinda figured Valve just wanted to throw their hat into the ring for the fun of it before moving onto something else like they always do.
>>721119053Original Sky has actually really good and strategic combat system (to the point of being tedious even), I heard they changed it for the remake to be better optimized for zoomer attention span
>>721127756MAJOR SPOILERS IN THE TRAILERDON'T WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED 1ST
>>721143021Everything is hinting toward Zemuria being an AI world simulation with the real world being “the beyond” that’s why it’s being encased in a barrier and stuck in a time loop, the Grandmaster is just it’s creator
>>721143343I think the only MAJOR major spoiler is Renne's identity which was not featured in the original SC preview.
>>721143403Wasn't that already implied in SC? The futuristic civilization had advanced as fuck AI that could make any wish real
>>721143403Aside from the timeloop that's fine.
>>721143514No that's your standard "hyper advanced technology from an ancient civilization."
>>721143423Trails 1st major spoilers: the trailer keeps mentioning bringing Joshua back which only makes sense when you know he suddenly leaves.
>>721143403It's not the twist that's schizo, it's the posting of it repeatedly.As to your spoiler: that's one potential resolution. There are others, including the ever popular "gnostic allegory".
>>721143583Well, I mean, that's true. Though, to be fair, you're not supposed to be able to just see this. It plays at the end of the first game, to make that detail make sense. So yes, I guess you're right to warn against people watching that.
>>721133850Do zoomer gooners really prioritize fanservice over storywriting? Grim.
>>721142938for this game specifically you can't get a locked 60 fps on switch2 unless they patch it. meanwhile you can get a perfectly framepaced and locked 45 on the deck.
>>721143656>people have to be warned not to watch trailers for a direct sequelsif any retard gets spoiled like that they honestly deserve it
>>721133686cute tomboy girl with 0 interest on sex who has a childhood friend that is a not very masculine pretty boy and has a sweet and caring personality.She's like the most standard type of female character made for blackmail and corruption by fat ugly bastards and perverted old men with massive cocks and sexual stamina
>>721143892To be honest, I know people will just click links mindlessly sometimes. It's a dumb and bad habit to fall into, but it happens.
>>721143984sounds like a good opportunity for a life lesson.better to be spoiled on a video game than having your browser hijacked.
>>721096854It's okay, they're not actually related
>>721095027It has awful VAs and Estelle's voice is annoying, I guess people just play it in Japanese.
>>721142938From a hardware standpoint someone can actually modify, tune, and rework factors of the Steam Deck from the physical to the hardware code, optimize settings, and essentially get a variety of potential experiences off of it. It's not just a gaming device for pure specs but has all the advantages of a PC besides learning Linux. Switch 2, hardware wise, "beats it" by having DLSS and RT out of the box to call upon, but in the process it's still massively bottlenecked by Nintendo lowballing a fair bit for the sake of a palatable and affordable device for casual consumers - and has absolutely zero freedoms or options beyond that, to the point of actually having unnecessary cutbacks like no VRR in docked, or a straight up worse screen than both Steam Deck models.You can throw around framerate all you want, there's more to a tech comparison than framerate. You can't do framegen on a Switch 2, at least not by choice.
>>721144210>I guess people just play it in the intended languageYeah?
>>721144210Why would anyone play with a dub?
I played for 6 hours and it's so unbelievably generic. Please tell me something happens other than doing boring quest board shit. I am going to assume not considering the whole BP ranking system. The combat is great but god damn the world and story is boring.
>>721144668You bought the equivalent of what would be most other JRPG's prologue sequences, as a standalone game that sequel hooks into the actual adventure.
>>721145086That's not even close to true. You could rewrite the ending a bit and FC would be a fine standalone title.

>>721145761Heaven forbid a character develop a little over the course of half a dozen games.
>>721144668There is a more focused plot in later chapters. Sidequests and exploring the world are still a major focus though. The first town is rural, so the more interesting aspects of the setting (i.e. the fantasy industrial revolution) are not really present there.
>>721144210the japanese fans are in an uproar because they fucking recast everyone except for olivier and zinnthey even recast weissman and lowe who had fucking iconic VAs

Does anyone else want to matepress impregnate Estelle, or is it just me?
>>721146958they really upped her sexiness in the remake
>>721146958Joshua…
>>721143403>>721143602>Star Ocean 3 came out in 2003>Trails as a series started in 2004Oh no…
Hey trailsfags, hit me up with some mechanics hereDoes this Delay stack with the delay on Joshua's Flicker?I'm on Hard which isn't especially hard but the game seems to be strongly encouraging me to spam Delay crafts against everything on every turn so despite having higher ATS Joshua and Schera are dedicated entirely to craft spamming and I'm having to use Estelle as my caster because Hurricane is ASS by comparison
>>721147198Falcom and Kondo wouldn’t be that stupid to rip off Star Ocean 3 (the game that pissed off the entire fanbase and nearly ended the franchise) and start an entire 15+ game series stretching out that retarded plot twist one year later would they? Haha…
>>721147208they usually stack but i'm not sure in this game
>>721147198>>721147321How was the Japanese reception to Star Ocean 3? Maybe they were actually really impressed with it’s meta plot twist and it only got a bad reception in the West?
>>721106961It can run on a toaster just fine on 1080p, Medium.
>16 hours into cold steel 3 and I'm still on chapter 1yeah.. I think I'm done with this franchise.

>>721148057t.
>>721132938Oh crap, is Arranged soundtrack the Vita one or is it something else entirely? Standard sounds nice from what I've heard. I like how boss theme has its own critical arrange instead of reusing the one for normal fights like OG.
>>721148057Ohhh that explains some things.Welp, RIP.
>>721142023Yeah, I enjoyed Kuro 2. Kuro 2 has a lot of Shizuna, and she is my favorite from the Calvard arc so far. Yeah, the game felt filler as fuck and had a very stupid chapter where nothing happens literally, but it still was fun, because I like the new (well, not new, mostly updated) gameplay.
Never played trails despite having it pirated like 10 different times ever since the PSP era. How bad is the script in the remake?
>Stuck in the intro for a day because can't decide if original OST or arrangedWhen the fuck will someone upload the whole thing so I can compare them?
>>721148057Blackrock hold a piece of literally everything you idiot, that's the point
>>721132435You have NO CLUE about the levels of brainrot in this series
>>721149331Exactly, but tendies won't even bring that up in their own threads
>>721149481this is a joke from like 7 years ago in a fan translation this was never added in the game
Haha...
How long until some based autist copy pastes the original's script into the demake?
>>721116980>>721117631>>721117695>>721117825Turn off Temporal Anti-Aliasing. That's causing the blur.
>>721149526Still representative of an average kisekifag
Why do people say to play Azure? It's functionally garbage on a gameplay level, the story is garbage, and it's just a harem pretending like it isn't. Azure isn't even a self contained story because the ending of the game says "oh yeah crossbell was annexed off screen lol"
>>721095118literally agree
>>721149684>It's functionally garbage on a gameplay level, the story is garbage, and it's just a harem pretending like it isn't.welcome to trails
>>721150279By that point it should become abundantly clear that they simply don't give a shit
>>721149684>pretending like it isn'tliterally never happenedcharacters literally make fun of lloyd's harem
>>721149684holy contrarian
>>721101149None whiter.
>>721141951Obviously
>>721151281Still don't know how to make this work. Why it can't be a simple copy to pak mods?
CENSORED SLOP. DO NOT ENGAGE
>>721151281Show the front please. I need to know...
>>721151281Any mod that makes her boobs be huge?
>>721151827https://litter.catbox.moe/dvzrzmk98zngg4lu.jpgThere's a different nude mod that also gives her pubes but I don't like how her tits look in that onehttps://litter.catbox.moe/qhfxx4ay6ok5p2bs.jpg
>that pricelmao fuck no
Is the remake good?
>>721146958based
>>721153306I prefer the doujin where futa Tita does that
>>721153306Haha...
Any timeline nonsense?
>>721149273original has more humor and personality, remake is more generic and literal
>>721123025>>>The Wheel of Fortune Reversed warns that wanting to control fate will probably only bring more suffering. >>When the Wheel of Fortune appears reversed, it illuminates repetitive cycles, patterns and recurring life-lessons.Probably talking about the Aureole.
>step siblings who grew up together become loversWhy couldn't they just be childhood friends or some shit? Hate this psuedo incest trash that Japan loves so much.
Who's top tier?
>complaints are just minor nitpicks>actual game is super fun>going back to the originals is impossible now>wait for 2 is going to suck, for the second time in my life
>>721153526>original has more humor and personalityThat was mostly made up by the localizer. You got an exaggeration of what she really was like.
>>721153669Technically, they are childhood friends.
so uhh should I play the remake or the og with translationman this honestly looks do tiresome to get into, there are 50 games in this shit what are you niggas smoking
I wish there are more Josette lewds.
>>721154059Remake is fine but the game ends on a cliffhanger so if you don't want to wait for the sequel to come out play the originals.
>>721154059You may as well start with this remake, don't play long games more than twice
>>721154059Wait for the SC remake and play those 2 together. It's basically the classic game but modernized, it's not like Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined where they are changing things
>>721153770i've played the sky trilogy several times and one of them was with the voice patch that was ripped from the vita version that adds voice acting to just about every line. i'm aware of how punched up and exeggerated some lines are, but i still find myself preferring them most of the time.
New thread? I like discussing this game with you guys.
>>721154059either is fine but if you end up liking the series you're going to have to wait at least a year for each game they remake.
>>721154059what's wrong with having lots of games to play? better than other devs who just ghost you for 5 or more years
