Play trails
If you're gonna mod the game at least make it a thong.
No I don't think I will.
>>721177442>play the game with the most generic anime artstyle imaginableI don't think I'll
>>721177442I would but none of my favorite (read: safer) pirating sites have Sky 1st up yet.
>>721179618Iptorrents has it
>>721177442No thank you ma'am. No thank you.
I started the series with Trails through Daybreak and I’m near the end of chapter 2 I think. When does it get good? The combat is fun but despite all the systems also seems barebones. Very bizarre
I am playing it. the remake is fucking kino so far.
>>721179878these plebs don't have IPT accounts kek >>721179957>I started the series with Trails through Daybreakthere's your problem, retard-sama
>Start trails game>Here's these multiple weird systems you now have to get intoI'm not in the mood for it honestly
>>721180046Buy an ad
>>721179957you're bizarre
>>721177442>they can’t even pronounce “liberl” rightI shan’t be playing. Also the series started sucking as soon as Sky ended.
>>721180163Where is the right place to start? Feels like the most obvious answer is “don’t”
>>721178974These are the least offensive “tranny woke localiser RUINING EVERYTHING” I think I’ve ever seen and you’re still having an autistic fit. You people seriously need to go outside.
>>721177442>0 assno i dont think i will
>>721177442Play tails
>>721180225The systems only look intimidating, they're pretty shallow. Quartz is just "want strong (element) spells, add more (element) quartz".
>>721178974>Nial's conversation gets censored>Estelle wears spats under her skirt in SC nowDeepest lore
>>721180314Either the very first one or cold steel if you need more modern. The entire appeal of the series is the ridiculous long running plot and continuity of characters, the actual combat and gameplay isn’t the point.
>>721180314Trails in the Sky, the actual start of the series. You're starting like four arcs in.
>>721177442I already played the original and remakes are always soulless cash grabs.
>>721180314you start at the beginning and play them all chronologically in release order. The "don't" comes in at CS. Just pretend it all ends in Crossbell
>>721177442Where are the dlc costunes like swimsuits by the way? So far they added one waitress costume, where are the rest?
>>721177442I did years ago.Now I'm waiting for Kuro 3.
>>721181570there aren't any. probably saving that for SC
>>721182041No Princess Joshua costume, no buy.
I am.
>>721177442should I wait until the 2nd game gets remade before bothering to play this?
>>721182482It is in the works. But Ch.1 does end on a huge cliffhanger.
Wasn't there supposed to be classic costumes for Estelle and Joshua? all im seeing is out place cringe shit in the dlc list
>>721182851The giant chibi forms costume is their "classic" outfit.. If you were expecting like a normal classic swap of their clothes... sorry.
>sexiest character doesn't get sexy skins????
>>721182253https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQzOy630m4UThere are, at least for Japanese version. Can't find them on Steam though.
>>721180318>Censorship is okay if it doesn't take it too far too fast!God, you retards are easily boiled in the pot
>>721180318>least offensive tranny shit is still something unwanted and not getting moneyYes
Is there any superboss in this shit or am I just doing all the sidequests to power up for no particular reason
>>721177442This game surprised me its really fun to get guild jobs i feel like a adventurer
>>721183618You twats pull the "censorship is okay in THIS case." card all the time when something you dont like gets censored. You just call it 'consequences' instead.
>>721177442i only played trails in the sky and i will only play the trails in the sky remakesi will not play any other trails games.
>Re: Nightmare HP bloatArts definitely help but you are going to need the cast quartz before it becomes viable to spam them. Also Schera is amazing with her arts support holy shit
>>721184837This is good. Optimal, even.
>>721183618>minor interpretative differences are censorship! You will boil!You no changes retards are insufferable. You don’t even understand that the original translation was inaccurate too
>>721184837Me too i played Daybreak demo and dont like it
Why are my prompts backwards...? There is no controller anywhere that has X on the right and B on the left.
>>721185446The default is set to the Nintendo button layout. A is to attack/confirm, B is to dash/cancel, et cetera.Anyway, chef Estelle is cute.
okay this thead is already full of shitposters and half-truth niggers. see you next thread.
>>721185549That's not what I meant by backwards. It's mirrored, something the Nintendo layout does not do. Did you not look at the shot?
>>721179459*isle
>>721183014No there is the classic costumes but it seems exclusive to those who bought the physical editions.
Estelle is so cute
>>721177442Only straight men will buy this game anon.If this thread is anything to go by, most of the Tranny faggots on here are to obsessed with their dads cock to play games.
>>721185874Damn I didn't boughtered the physical edition...
>>721186248>Only straight men will buy censored garbageSpotted the troon.
>>721186237True but I can't find her fuckable if I tried.
>>721185549>Set my confirm to O and cancel to X on my ps5 controller>This works for just about everything>Except for chests which you still have to open with XAnnoying.
>>721185874my physical game didn't come with anything
>>721186456gay>>721186237Truly the best girl
>>721186479On the Steam version, it's this setting.
>>721186776Oh based. I hadn't considered it being its own option.
I hate the battle targeting so much on kbm. Can I just scroll targets instead please
>>721186935>Playing a modern JRPG without a controllerShiggity. Ironically, the original is extremely easy to play on kbm. In fact, you can play the whole game with the mouse alone if you wanted to.
>>721186935>kbmReal Yakuza use a gamepad, kyoudai.
>>721187056>>721187080Didn't ask
>>721187056>meanwhile this is not a problem on better JRPGs franchises like Final Fantasy, Persona and Dragon Quest
>>721187256>better JRPGs franchises like Final FantasyCool it with the baits
it's not perfect, but it feels like falcon not being a wealthy company led to them making a remake i actually like. It's been 10 years since i played the original but everything still feels so familiar.
>>721185874There's also this one but the voucher says everyone will get it in 2 weeks.
>>721187429>but it feels like falcon not being a wealthy companyAren't they big in Japan?
>>721187469used to be in the 80s, they've fallen behind every company completely. They survive by making low cost games and releasing them frequently, but after playing this remake it feels like they finally caught up. Their battle animations are unironically better than atelier games, and the visuals are also pretty good now.
>>721186456Based leave her to me
>>721188143I'm still going to headpat her first though
>>721184979>original translation was inaccuratemy guy they censored the original source script, not the translation
>>721177442I unfortunately got bored real fast and could not even finish the demo so I won't get this.
>>721177442>Play trailsIm already playing
>>721177557Gross
>>721177442>Olivier’s S-break I fucking kneel. This game has to have some of the best 3D anime-style animation I’ve ever seen. Blows my mind that this is a Falcom game. It’s like if Kemco put out a JRPG with the best pixelated visuals ever seen, it doesn’t even seem real
I really wish they gave us a "hold button for turbo" option like the previous games had. Maaaybe it will be patched in later.Otherwise, I'm loving it.
>>721187226Just write in your diary next time then, bitch. This is a public space. Don't bitch out loud if you don't want responses to your stupidity.
>>721177442I LOVE BROWN PUSSY! Latinas, Negretias, Plapistanis, it don't matter to me, so long as she's brown I'm down.
>>721188927Didn't ask about your autism either.
I'll get it on a sale
>>721183054>Tita with titsVomiting.
>>721177442I wanted to buy physical on switch but for some reason the price is really high. I'll probably get it on discount later or look somewhere else
>>721179957>>I started from the eleventh sequential game and wanna have funSub 85 IQ
>>721184837Please tell me that included Sky 3rd, Falcom's best game that isn't titled Ys.
Started the first TitS game. But as soon as figured out the combat system, with the aoe earth shield and the few various OP spells, it became really stale. And I was at maybe 20% of the game, right before entering the city of Ruan.
so do I play the remake or whatI don't really care about le localization but I'd prefer it being closer to the original JP script if I have a choice
>>721188924Nah I like toggle more. Hold becomes annoying when you do RT battles.
>>721189389remake is closer to the script but still has some gay faults. The original gave estelle a bunch of lines to make her seem more bratty and assertive.
>>721189420Imagine if she was called Cuny.
>>721189350Wait until you get to SilverWill.mp3.ogg.
>>721189389remake rewrote the fucking original JP script itself, don't touch that shit with a ten foot pole
>>721189510Original, and patch in the Japanese combat voices.
>>721177442I just bought a new physical copy for switch. My local store just unloaded a whole box full of them in front of me and I snatched a copy. It’s my first trails game.
>>721189397I'm asking for the option, not to force you to use it. I would have thought that was obvious.
>>721188893Maybe they hired some chinks?
>>721189389Yes, its the best Trails has ever been. It's the first starting point, it's loyal to the original, and it plays much better than all the other Trails games, and the graphics FINALLY aren't trash cause they learned how to fucking cell shade.The localization is actually very loyal to the JP script, almost to a fault. It's the JP script itself that has changes but they are really minor and not really censored, the autists screeching are just Grifters. This is your start into Trails. You can then play SC if you liked it or if you can wait 2nd Chapter is definitely coming next year so you can play Cold Steel 1 and 2 (They don't depend on earlier entries much at all) in the meantime, all these games are 100+ hours so unless you have no life you'll have those games alone keep you busy for months. And You won't get burned out as fast.
>>721189582That reminds me, they are going to nerf that shit in the SC remake, right? Genuinely that fight is pure RNG/Kevin abuse on Normal, let alone Nightmare where it's just pure suffering.
so this battle is literally impossible on first playthrough nightmare huh?
>>721189739>they are really minor and not really censoredoh yeah it's not REALLY censorship this time, sureit's a slippery slope, you corporate slop muncher
>>721189657
>>721189845No I beat it first attempt on Nightmare, kinda disappoint after how much it was hyped up, guess it's mostly newcomers.Earth Guard + Clock Up breaks early game completely, and that's without touching overdrive.
>>721189854There are more girls tropes during Cassius dialogue. They just moved things around
bro... so if its higher up the new and trending page on steam, does that mean more people are buying the game up top? Cus if that's what that means... its kinda sad that its being outsold by a random ass porn game right now....
What character should I be giving droplet of strength
Anons are so going to get filtered by the delay spam when the black soldiers show up.>>721190341Joshua and Agate
>>721189953Whats the big deal about Clock Up supposed to be? I barely notice it.
Im having fun
>>721190078That's good enough for trails
>>721177442I am stuck on the Flying Feline+ Boss fight where you save the kids, on nightmare mode but I refuse to drop the difficulty or grind. (I haven't grinded any enemies, just killed anything on the path to the jade tower.)Please help, there must be a way to clear this without grinding.
>>721190417Buffs have more charges, up to 3 here I believe. That said, even one clock up is going to reduce your own wait times enough that you aren't going to get doubled by enemies most of the time, and Joshua might double them instead.
>>721189845i managed to beat it after a few tries. Abuse clock up with Joshua, it doesn't seem worth it at first but do it. You get a deceptive amount of turns and it's similar to healing, as a low delay cost.
>>721190516Go back to the shop and buy weapons, in these games equipment makes a total difference. You'll go from doing 0 damage to a ton just because you got a 10 point boost. Also see if you can get earth wall in your orbment set up. It's basically an overheal that can protect the journalists.
>>721190545With 4 characters and it being single target that's too much of a pain.
>>721184781No I don't, fuck you.
>>721177442buy an ad shill
>>721190660I'll keep that in mind the next 400 "It's fine when it happens to you because you asked for this." /pol/ posts I see.
yep its gaming time
>>721190659Clock Up itself has very small delay so you can just have a character cast it twice in a row. Also there is an AoE version later on.For early game I would recommend building your entire party to have the single target version. Other arts just aren't as important, aside from Earth Guard/Wall.
>>721190667Kill yourself, fireemblemshill.
>>721190667
>>721190792>Also there is an AoE version later on.Clock Up EX is still single target.
>>721190773GG ez for the whole prologue. Hell probably most of the game.
>>721190516Which JRPG did you play on Nightmare without needing to grind?
>>721190881I remember it was AoE for some reason, but nevermind that. Just keep it on everyone because it's just that good.
>>721190746You better, cause I don't post that shit. What, do you think everyone that disagree with censorship is some /pol/ tard? You're as bad as the moron that see trannies in everything.
>>721190516Time for shop and buy new weapons/armor
>>721190667I have tendiejeet fatigue
>>721190773I also gave her La Tear for good measure but it was only situationally useful.
>>721190813>>721190875>>721191051>samefagging this hard
>>721180318>localiserThe ORIGINAL Japanese is different, retard.
>>721191041Now if only you dropped the translation autism would almost seem like a sane and rational human being. You were close.
Falcom is good at designing brown girls.
>>721191117yeah, might just keep joshua as the clock buffer and give estelle a heal to be super sure. but the shield and joshua with tear is probably enough for now.
>>721191293>Hurdur censorship good and you're autistic if you don't like itOnce again, fuck you.
>>721191335Zamn
>>721191425I didn't say it's good.I just can't bring myself to give a shit over minor changes. I'm not THAT fucking bored yet.
>>721191182>Tendie so mindbroken it thinks he can't be disliked by multiple people Now, again, why not spam the Blackrock shit in your woke emblem threads?
is this a good game to play after smt v?
Game has gendered language and boys n girls stereotypes in the very first five minutes of the game. Why do we still pretend that those changes are somehow political or woke? Why not change the other shit like Cassius wondering why his daughter cant have normal "girl hobbies like wearing a dress and accessories". Just fuck off to your niggerbastard boards namely /vg/ and /pol/ you ultrafaggot nintentrannycocksucker.
>>721191368I'm doing it like I did in the original, everyone has clock. Also temporarily using two earth guards so I don't really need heals most of the time.
>set text speed to max and auto advance>game bugs out and crashesNice game, Trailsbabs.
>>721191503Yeah well do. Censorship is EVIL. Suffer not the minor evil. Instead, I will pirate the game, and self translate it, or use a fans translation if able. But no, I will not willing play a censored game.
>>721191624i need to have shadow spears if i encounter those magic poms by any chance. i doubt they will give you shitton of exp but i bet a lot of sepith. the 1hko chance from what was it...25%? down to 10% is brutal tho
>>721191694Ok? Are you a woman? Why do you need to repeat your problems every fucking time?
>>721191694I can't. I can't make myself care. It just feels so stupid and meaningless. Like imagine telling your parents that a video game changed a line about a skirt and see how much they care. They'd feel the same way I do.
>>721189953>>721190568alright you guys were right those buffs are retarded
Apparently I had somehow managed to lose my original FC save about halfway through the game. Welp... Might as well get the remake, I guess. Have the quest mechanics changed in any meaningful ways, timers especially?
>>721191802>Resulting to baseless insultsIronic to accuse others of being a women...
>>721191616>Game has gendered language and boys n girls stereotypes in the very first five minutesthose people don't play the game. all they see is a collage and then shitpost with their schizo narratives. /v/ was always full of dumb people and moot hated this board, but now it gor even worse with all those brownoid low iq retarda from /pol/.
>>721191802It's Trails, talking to an NPC the second time and beyond always makes them repeat themselves but paraphrased
>>721182397good morning saaar
>>721191616Please copy paste this in every new thread so the shitposters can move on.
>>721191807Honestly if I told my dad one of his books got censored and got lines replaced like that, he'd probably be kinda pissed.
>>721192039You should tell your dad that you will never have children first.
I'll install my pirate copy once someone modded the old XSNEED script back in.
>>721191871Welcome to trails, speed is king and every game has a damage barrier skill that you spam over and over again by virtue of being faster. When you get those the entire game just bends over even on Nightmare.Also later on they introduce evasion cheese and delay spam in case it wasn't enough.
>>721192184there is some kind of difficulty mod on nexus, is it any good?
>>721191926I accept your concession
>>721192130>Again with the baseless projections
>>721192243Never tried it
I feel like I am opening the orbal slots way faster in this remake.
>>721191694then dont. they altered 4 sentences in a 80h game but kept other shit that would be 'problematic' in. so? then dont play it. fuck off this thread why are you arguing here? are you that much of a loser that you simply have nothing else to do?
Sex with Joshua
>>721192184>When you get those the entire game just bends over even on Nightmare.Except Loewe in SC but ironically enough a good strat there is to spam more barriers with Kevin's S-Craft by maxing out his CP nearly every turn.
>>721177442First timer here, which is objectively the best one?
>>721179957It doesn't.
>>721192039Fine, your mom then. Point is sane people are gonna be like "Oh, ok." and move on with their lives.
>>721179957>Gaybreak Refund
>>721180314I played 3rd first and had a good time.
>>721192670objectively the original. the other two are either hit or miss with certain tracks. original is really good consistently.
>>721192670Arranged and Original make sense, but what is Standard supposed to be here?
I want to suck Schera's tits so badly, bros
Who should I give droplet of magic to
>>721192837from some tracks i listened to, it looks like standard is make for the remake and is closer to the original than arranged is.
>>721180318>localiserLol. The censorship is right there in the original Japanese script.
>>721192996Joshua, Schera or Olivier
>>721192837Standard: Remake version of the ost (this game)Arranged: Evo version of the ost (ps vita)Original: Original version
>>721177442Only if the guy shows his ass.
>>721177442Rixia in?
>>721177442Im sticking with cold steel.I don't want to play a shitty game trilogy where nothing happens.Also the girls are better
>>721193172>Arranged: Evo version of the ost (ps vita)Oh yeah, I forgot all about Evo.
Was the original allowed to have this unashamedly bi guy or was he censored back then?
>>721193271oh you want 4 games where nothing happens?>girls are betterlmfao
>>721193365he was the same waymaybe even gayer
>ACKKKKK STOP MENTIONING IS CENSORING PLS BUY OUR SHITTY REMAKE PLS PLS PLS
No thanks bro
Quick reminder that this is what Trails is actually about.
>>721193774
>>721193365Nah, Oliver is always like that
>>721193858for me its row 3
>>721193158Kloe had better ATS than Joshua, plus you want her to use arts 24/7 unlike the latter.
>>721193858>Adopted sibling ship but somehow it isn't weird as fuckHow did they manage it? And how did they never manage to do it again?
>>721193858No, this is what trails is actually about!
>>721194329Renne has bunch of diseases down there
>>721178974to be fair, the old dialogue was cringe here too. no winning here
Is she gonna be any good in the remakes of the next games
>>721177442Sure...once they release the digital deluxe edition
>>721194209To be fair, some normalfags are still a little weirded out by it, but at the end of the day, 5 years of being "siblings" really ain't shit. The dynamic is fundamentally no different from growing up together with your childhood friend and entering a romantic relationship.
>>721195951All of the DLCs, swimsuits included, work on my pirated copy desu. Should have pirated instead of giving Jewcom money senpai.
721195951ban all frogslop, you are avatar posting
>>721195951>noooooooo you can just make this joke in Atlus games threads nooooooooooo
>>721195951>>721197095>he boughtngmi
>>721197623She is a minor
>>721197623Kloe better have an equally slutty bikini
>>721197921...out of 10!!!!
Huh? I didn't screenshot it in time but I just had a battle where I LOST gem thingies.
>>721198232Not odd, enemies can steal your sepith
Is it just me, or does this remake lack the in-game reference guide on what elemental values bestow what arts? I've looked in the bracer book, in the help menu, and I can't seem to find any info about it. How am I supposed to know what arts I'm getting?
>>721198232enemy turns with the sepith icon means they can knock them out of you. just like you would get bonus sepith on your turns with that.
>>721197623Awwwwooooooooooooooooooooooooooga
>>721197921>suddenly>>721198045Only Joshua and Estelle have swimsuits from what I've seen. Unless they're planning on patching other ones later but I've activated everything there is in the game files via a steam emu so far. The mod that replaces spats with panties is pretty good though.
>>721198313It's no longer in the book, but in the orbments menu, press square
>>721193774Censorship is bad but at the end of the day people will want to play for other things. It's not like games didn't get sprites/blood censored in the past specially if you are a jrpg fan. But you can't pretend people will be this obsessed. It's like with RE4R, sure censoring panties sucks but the average kid just laughed at that silly detail instead of taking it seriously and make it its own life goal, just look at the pantyfag, it became a tranny because he took shits like that too seriously. In the end people bought re4r because they wanted to kick asses with Leon.It's also a weird as fuck problem considering anyone can just mod the games or, well, just make games with fanservice sell millions, or organize yourself and send emails to the company, dunno, somethingAlso I suspect many grifters still buy games with some censorship in them so this is just a waste of time
>>721198416Oh shit I see. I wonder if the game told me that and I simply forgot.
>>721198481I don't think so, I was looking for it to and messing around with menus
Huh. What chink studio did they hire? This seems weirdly high production value for a falcom game.Did they finally get their shit together?
>>721188682
>>721177442Why can I see her ass but not Estelle's
>>721198438>I suspect many grifters still buy games with some censorship in them so this is just a waste of timeYou're giving them way more credit than I would. I don't think those fags even play video games.
no rean no buy
>>721197623>those premium mediumsNow we're talking.
>>721198736holy fuck every game without rean is amazing.
>>721198736Haha, so true...
>>721198709Exactly. I remember when one anon confused fatal frame 4 and 5 and he was literally crying about a problem that didn't even exist and how obvious it was he didn't play any of those games
>>721198615Developed in-house by Nihon Falcom using a proprietary engine, apparently.
>>721198682You can see Kloe's ass too. Estelle wears spats because she's a tomboy.
>>721189657Good for you, bro. Hope you have fun
>>721198615This is the DB engine with a different art style. Used likely so it could run on Switch. And funny enough, at least for character models, their best-looking game
>>721198615Falcom’s Founder died so they finally were able to gain access to money he was saving if the nuclear winter happened
>>721198778>>721198856>using a proprietary engineOh that's pretty good news, then. Makes me hopeful for their future games. The character animations look really nice too.
>>721198709This is the main reason I don't give culture warriors the time of day. They care more about bitching and moaning about censorship than they do playing a fun video game. Soul-sucking rabbit hole to have yourself go down.Anyway, this scene hits pretty hard. Very well done in the remake.
Someone post my girl Anelace. I miss her. They'll literally bring back everyone but her.
>>721177442Imagine...
>>721199124I'm sure we'll get Analace again one day.
>>721198438They want to be mad to feel something. Real coomers just download porn mods
>>721198956They really upped their animation game with Kai. Crafts are flashy as fuck
Are there a lot of things from FC that you have to remember to enjoy SC? I really want to play this but my memory sucks and I am worried I won't remember anything by the time SC comes out. Do they recap anything at least? Or is it going to just feel like I am basically loading a save to continue a game I haven't played in 1-2 years?
>>721197623Thanks for reminding me to look up the rest of the dlc codes lmao Cant wait to get Tita and dress her in the Demon King accrssories.
>>721198438Pantsu are even still in the game. >>721194278
>>721199473I mean, SC picks up the literal moment where FC ended. You need to remember what happened between Estelle and Joshua, between Joshua and you-know-who, what Cassius is doing and characters like the Professor Russell.
>>721199473I'm sure there will be a billion gorillion recap videos when SC gets close to release.
>>721191335Why is her ass so high up?
Joshua wait a sec I'll go get us some Ice Cream :3
I don't even like FC, but I can't help but smile while playing this, bros. SC remake will be peak.
Does the remake has any new scene that refer future titles after sky?
>>721193271More things happen in cold steels prologue than the entire sky trilogy
>>721177442I started with Cold Steel and never played Sky but i gotta say that this one has so much more sovl. Did i miss out? Maybe i'll play the first games even if they look like shit.
>>721199947Sky doesn't force you to play through three full fucking games before you're legally allowed to win a fight, anon.
>>721200025Yes you missed out. Cold Steel isn't bad, but you're talking about playing some more "modern" games that are like a 7/10 collectively, vs Sky which is a 9/10
Is there actually any panty shot in the base game or will I have to mod it get some
>>721197623Is there a way to use pirated DLC with a boughted copy? I think I read that there's no actaul DLC files and it's just a toggle somewhere.
I have completely forgotten how shoujo as fuck FC + SC are. A brooding prettyboy with a violent past + a clumsy tomboyish ditz only discovering her own femininity is such a late 90s/early 00s shoujo pairing it's just insane, i can bet the authors watched something like Princess Tutu before making it.
>>721200225creamapi. but if you have to ask you will probably get yourself a virus lmao
>>721200219>>721194278
>>721194209What would be weird about it? They are complete strangers who merely lived 5 years together. Josh even states he fell for her since the beginning.
>>721198615They've been getting better with Ys X and Kai, this is just the culmination of that. It helps that FC is smaller scaled, and this is a remake where they just need to follow the blueprint.
>>721200025>I started with Cold Steel my condolences. just play the remake, its good. then go play sc evo on the vita3k.
>>721200287Nah, the original plan was something more basic where Estelle was a dude and Joshua a girl, and they kept their personalities. They reversed their genders because they thought a girl MC would stand out more
>>721178974was gonna pirate it, will buy it now
>>721200406Yeah. Even then, what is so weird about incest in anime? Who are these retards constantly flocking to this board.
>>721200527They were right. Retrospectively, the last thing this series needed was ANOTHER male shonen protagonist.
>>721200508NTA but doesn't evo have a way worse soundtrack? Wouldn't it be better to just mod in the japanese voices to the PC version?
I just noticed some crafts like Estelle's Comet use magic attack instead of physical. Was that the case in the original? It's been so long I can't remember.Bodes well for letting the pure caster characters do something other than spam Spiral Flare.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z07WdBYBEe0Can't wait when fetch quests will end and this drop. Enforcers were the best part of Trails.
>remake actually looks great>they did all key scenes justice including the endingGlad to see they didn't fuck this up. Although it would certainly be better if they did a full remake of fc + sc at once
>>721200717the EVO dlc gives you the original OST.
>>721200109This is a mod isn't it
>>721200527I fucking wish they kept experimenting with protagonists. Kevin having his own duology could easily lead to some insane Hunter x Hunter esque stuff but they just gave up after 3rd.
>>721200792Didn't know that, neat. Evo has additional CGs and shit, right? I remember seeing some FC evo footage and there was a CG of Joshua playing the harmonica
>>721200884The panties? Nope. That you can see her behind like that? Yes. Probably the camera mod.
>>721200109>>721177442please gib me more places to find mods besides loverslab, i already know nexus will be sanitized
>>721200964you can EVO-fy the gog games on pc with a lot of stuff, but ultimately you will have a EVO for poor people. things like interface, controls and animated portraits will be missing.
>>721200991Oh I thought everyone had spats. I guess that only applies to the DLC and Estelle's default?
>>721200657Word. Making Estelle the female MC was definitely a good thing.Not sure it would've worked as well if she weren't a tomboy though, so it probably remains best as a one-off
>>721189657What is this game like compared to Ys? I refuse to try another Ys game after playing the Nordics demo and seeing that poor man get his melon chopped over late fees.
>>721201110Yes. I don't know why they gave everyone spats in the dlc but it should be fixed soon. Just have to wait for modders to do it.
>>721201075If there's a DLC for the og soundtrack I'll just emulate, then. What about Zero/Azure? Is there any difference between the evo versions and those that are on steam? I remember there was an effort to port the translation to the evo version but I'm not sure what became of that.
>>721201175This makes me very happy
Is Nial being voiced by Van in the English dub?
So, when's the swimsuit dlc coming out
>>721201128Tomboyish but still decently girly dumbasses are such a great character archetype. Shame they are rare as fuck these days.
>>721201347Because they tell tomboys they are men now and that they should cut their tits (and part of their arm/leg skin to get a fake dick)
>>721201271>What about Zero/Azure?the first EVO one on vita got the translation applied. the second game has the translation ready but as far as i know no translated version exists on the internet. the way you apply the translation patch only works on a real vita. and to this day nobody really did that and uploaded it to rom sites. i looked everywhere, even in private trackers..nothing.
>>721201347It's because nowadays, "girls" who want to be seen as masculine don't want to exhibit feminine traits because we're supposed to hate things we're born with i guess.
>>721201392Literally a ploy to steal money from mentally vulnerable girls. Or boys. Meh.Tomboy love.
>the support characters get support skills that make OTHER characters use stronger support moves That's...kinda weird.
>>721201502That mirrors my experience, then. I tried to find the patched second game and also found nothing. Oh well, at least I don't have to patch the voices in for those games. Thanks, anon.
>>721177442>censoredNo.
>>721201392Joshua has a sarcastic remark about this.
>>721201671lets hope that with the newfound interest due to the remake(s) someone might dump the game with the eng patch applied.
Reminder to anyone getting random FPS in menus with an AMD card: DXVK fixes it.I don't know what the issue is but it used to exist in Cold Steel 3/4 as well before getting patched last year.
Haven't picked up the remake, but DON'T FORGET TO INSPECT TREASURE CHESTS AFTER YOU OPEN THEMYES, EVERY SINGLE ONEYES, EVERY SINGLE TIME
>>721200763I don't think so. I think they started that in Cold Steel.Comet specifically did pierce defense in the original, though.
>>721202046they didn't do that this timeChest messages were a bonus the original localizers added Not present in the JP release of the original and not present here
>>721202046Anon, I...
>>721201392Meh, the archetype itself is not that popular, i can literally think about a single manga ongoing with a pair of unconventional tomboys as female leads.
>>721202118>>721202137No, not like... this...
>>721202118those chest had some of the most obnoxious reddit memes
>>721202325sad but truea lot of sovl lost as a result
>>721192685This I got up to 4 and I just couldn't stand to finish it, the rivalries shit is the stupidest thing I've seen in a jrpg
>>721202401But as a bonus they exposed the "THESE GAMES ARE SO HARD TO LOCALIZE IT'S LIKE TORTURE" narrative as a huge lie.
>>721201280No: https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Michael-Schneider/
>>721202712Huh, interesting. He was kinda hitting some of the same notes tonally so I thought it was him.
Is leveling up the only way to get different crafts
I can fix her
You know, there's almost something comforting about just cracking open the first game in the series again after all this time. Knowing that none of the insanity that happens later has not happened yet. A nice and simple adventure requiring no prior knowledge of anything. I do like the later games still, too. Mostly. But there's just something about Sky, man.
>>721202325They can only do that in the older games because of falcom's spaghetti code.
>>721202774Don't ever fucking reply to me again.
>>721202970I played FC blind without any expectation that it would be a long running saga, it was great. There needs to be more jrpg with low stake.
>>721203010Bot post?
>>721203068It must be. The reply makes no sense.
Bros how long has it been since i last spent 8 hours straight playing a game. I am quite surprised how much i like the battlesystem. On Nightmare the action combat part is just to stun mobs. You either enter Turnbased and finish them off with a special or start spamming your CP skills and buffs.
>>721202929Yes
>>721187080>Real Yakuza use a gamepadComplete localizer fanfiction. It never says that in any Ryuu ga Gotoku game.
>playing on nightmare>managing to scrape by without really grinding much (was at level 8 when i beat the prologue first time, level 10 when i found out about the cave)>get towards the end of chapter 1>forced miniboss encounter has me on the ropes for 15-20 minutes before I manage to claw it back and take it out>proceed to end of chapter 1 boss fight>65k, 45k, 38k hp opponents>level 17>alt+f4maybe I shouldn't have played nightmare from the get go.
>>721203063I wouldn't call it low stakes considering what it builds up to.
>>721202970That's because Sky was made as a passion project and not as a cyclical cash grab.
>>721189420If her age is on the clock...
>>721177442>another censored demakeNo I won't, fuck off shill.
>>721203295is it your first time playing trails? because the hp is not really an issue if you have the right quartz setup. i just mow them down. sometimes i even get lucky with shadow spear, killing beefy overworld enemies.
>>721203417I mean, I do believe there are probably still people on the dev team who want to see the story brought all the way to fruition. But changes in development process, evolution of technology, and just the corporate desire to turn a profit results in crunch and thus overall lacking experiences, like fucking Daybreak 2 and Kai to a somewhat lesser extent. Kondo SAYS they're gonna take a step back to pace themselves and focus on doing things right going into the end of the series, but we all know how Kondo's words can be.
>>721203295>the caveWhat cave? Did they add a cave somewhere?
>>721203620DOUBLETHELENGTH
>>721203620>focus on doing things right going into the endwould be nice if the series began and ended with Estelle as the MC. i hope the remakes will be popular enough for falcom to go down that route.
>>721203620Eh, people blame Kondo too much. He's more of a business exec and PR guy these days. He hasn't been an active creative talent in the series since the Crossbell arc. Azure was the last game he directed.
>perzel farm>music kicks inYes...this is my goty..
>>721203068It's just an anon that got told that and it mindbroke him now he goes into threads just to post that
>>721203961Nah I know, but his words are pretty much all we have to go on. I really hope he's serious about not trying to crank out a new Trails entry every year anymore because you can tell the series is starting to suffer from a lack of having shit laid out in advance. Say what you want about Cold Steel, but, barring some contrivances, everything largely still felt like it was in line with what was being built up to since Sky. Everything after Reverie has felt like they're thinking as they go, and I think the series is suffering for it.
>>721203259Sounds like you aint a real yakuza
>>721204240Sounds like you slurp up localizer garbage.
>Sounds like you sl-AAAACK!
>Sexy Bunnysuit Renne was just another split personality inside Renne>her core personality starts acting up and Renne changes; now constantly depressed and clearly yandere towards (you)>her whole arc is about facing her hardships and learn how to deal with her life going forward>"I-if you will stay by my side forever, i won't kill myself.

>>721190516Equipment matters in Trails. Even small numbers can make big differences.
>>721203068>>721204047What the fuck is this autism?
>>721204774>>721204627same vibes kek
The tendo fag still seething?
>>721204104>Say what you want about Cold Steel, but, barring some contrivances, everything largely still felt like it was in line with what was being built up to since Sky. After his semi-recent Dengeki interview about the history of the series, I don't really agree with that. Circa Crossbell's development, there was an active effort - primarily by newer devs and Falcom's marketing team - to change the creative direction of the series. Given the good sales of the Crossbell arc, Falcom's senior staff capitulated and let the series evolve and/or devolve into whatever CS, Reverie, and Calvard turned into.
>>721200991nah I got it from a video of a fight against Loewe, one of his special attacks made her skirt sperg out
I love how we go from a simple adventure with two siblings to flying mech gods and a suspect goddess
>>721204627>"I told you what happened to me when i was small, right? I don't..really remember what exactly happened. Each time i try to remember it just doesn't work. As if i try to picture a something i have never seen before">she gets a piece of paper and draws a circle on it>then draws another circle around it>then another>then another>then another>then another>then another>and another and another and another and another and another and another and...another>"The first circle is probably the real me.

>>721198438Keep giving it in, inch by inch, look how well it worked!
>>721177442Unless they added more content into this, why would i play this when i played the original years ago?
>>721205004>Newfags and marketers are responsible for turning the game into a cheap Persona knockoffThis is why gatekeeping is important.
WHY ISN'T THIS GOING UPI'm sure I've used 5 different arts I've never used before (it would be impossible to have used them by accident before) and it's stuck at 38.
Estelle's expressions. 00's animes LUDOKINO, man.Been years since I enjoyed a game this much.
SNIIIIIIIIIIIIFF
>>721205310more? i'm rockhard rn
>>721205525I think you're just supposed to equip them on your orbment.
>>721205525It's based on how many arts you've unlocked in the orbment menu, not your usage. Not sure if it has to be 43 all at once but I assume not.
>>721205909Why that solve the issue at all? Obviously if I've used the art, I've have to equip it too.
>>721206027That means you have 5 arts you haven't equipped yet. If you've already equipped it, then using it won't increase the number.
>>721203689there appears to be a new (slightly hidden) cave in each chapter. it contains at random like 6-14 enemies from that zone with different spawn options and covers a good amount of enemy types in it. in the prologue you can abuse it exceedingly well to get like 400 of each sepith per fight in like 30 seconds with aero storm.>>721203593No, but the first game has the most restrictive quartz setup, and instant death doesn't work on bosses. The fact you can no longer scraft interrupt to directly steal a crit or such is also a pain in the ass (sure, you might steal the crit boost for your next turn, but now you have no s craft to use).
>>721206001>It's based on how many arts you've unlocked in the orbment menu, not your usageAgain I'd have to have unlocked the art in the first place in order to even use it. 2 of them I wasn't really sure about, but 3 Im sure I never used before. Plasma Wave was a headache to unlock so Im sure Ive never used it, but it stayed at 38 even after getting it and using it.>>721206115What is with this insistence that I've used the arts I've never used before, but just didn't equip them?
>>721206232>What is with this insistence that I've used the arts I've never used beforeThat's not what I'm saying, I said you have other arts you haven't equipped at all
did they leave in the pulitzer joke?
>>721202401Yeah, they should include based /v/ memes like...>talking about trannies 24/7>seething about Nintendo 24/7>Wojak and Pepe spam>twitter screenshots
The game is too anime for me. The shitty anime expressions look like trash in 3D.
>>721206369As in, the translation is wrong and it's not about arts usage at all
>>721206369How is that not what you're saying?
>>721206424>Wojak and Pepe spamI would play this game.
>>721206232it's a rather vague and poor wording. it wants you to have all 43 arts actively available for use (you don't even have to ever have used them) across your characters. I don't know if it gets easier when you get more than 4 characters since technically that would be more 'space' for you to equip more arts, but i'm not that far yet, I only just barely brute forced the one before that.
>>721206543Of course, isn't that why you're here, you tranny?
>>721177442I just checked Steam and it's 60$ for some remake of a crusty ass game? Fuck that.I'd rather buy Persona games on sale in a week.
>>721197467>>721197623They have a bug, it's technical issues, the only reason theres no digital deluxe edition right now is due to their incompetence, I aint buying till they fix it
>>721177442Don't worry, cancelled my preorder after I found out it was censored.
I havent played since the demo what the fuck do I buy for ingredients for dinner?
>>721206950im so retarded Im just supposed to talk to the guy not buy something
>>721207074Sounds like you're role playing appropriately.
>>721177442Alright. But answer me this: JAPANESE OR ENGLISH VA?
Was gonna get this day one but I heard the Switch 2 version has frame rate problems. Demo (of S1 version) ran perfectly but was low res.Have the Devs said anything about fixing it or is this another case of the Switch 2 version just being kinda shitty?
Clockup is entirely unnecessary early game because instead of building to speed yourself up one character at a time at the cost of EP you can abuse Flicker/Slyphwhip/Cancel arts/Delay to slow all enemies for CP instead. Same outcome but you're dealing damage, have no setup time and aren't spending relevant resources
>>721177442only if it has romance
>>721207952Has the ONLY good romance in the entire franchise. Though it doesn't really fully happen until the second game.
>>721205391Yeah, but it rarely works, and to be fair, Falcom needed a hit after their PC market totally collapsed by the late 00s.
>>721208050Eh? Figuring out feelings and slowly growing closer to each other is the most fun, in my opinion. The exploration phase of two 16 year olds that grow with each other and start to realize what they mean to each other; Does that not count towards romance?
but does /fg/ like it? that's the real question..
ACC looks to be quite important early on. I keep getting blinded and whiffing an attack on Nightmare is not fun.
What's the point? you know everything about the story, ending and how shit the next games become in the future
>>721177442Cutie
>>721208989Actually I don't.Though I can assume the bad guys lose and the power of friendship and anime prevails or whatever.
>>721209119In this case, it's more like the power of Dad.
>>721209345I wonder what Ruan-style entails.
>721208989these low IQ posts always amaze me
>>721209826It's like they're not capable of enjoying something for its own merits and can only view it in the wider context of the whole series. It doesn't matter if the game is fun or not, only that it ticks their autism boxes.
Already playing.
>>721210060I often read books, manga or watch anime for a second or third time. My favorite games are those i can always go back to and replay. And one of them got a quite faithful remake now. Asking 'what's the point [in replaying]' is indeed just completely retarded.
I only like Ys and Xanadu Next.
>>721179459yes, give me more of that generic anime goodness. too much shit gets made intentionally hideous just to make it "unique".
>>721192670original, no contest
giv me remake tita screenshots
>>721192670Standard seems fine to me so far. Seems relatively faithful to the original. To the point I'm not even sure what significant differences there are.
>>721211141Sorry anon, at the pace this remake is going so far, I'm not getting to Tita until like the 40 hour mark.
>>721200312NTA, but yeah... I'm retarded that I will probably get a virus, dont even know how to use creamapi, or even set it up
>>721211147hm, i'd say the original just feels more oldschool jrpg. it has these quirky instrumentals here and there. in jade tower, for example, it has that very sweet flute, which misses in the evo one but is kinda there in standard but is being drown out. things like that. standard is a bit more "grown up" and "modern" while the original is a time capsule brimming with 00s inspired japanese game music.
>>721192670I like standard, its a pleasing remastering of the tracks. The arranged ost goes a bit overboard I think
>>721211535I suppose I can understand that. I've listened to the original a ton over the years though so I'm gonna keep giving the new ost a shot.
Star Door 15? More like Streetlamp 14. The fuck is that shit? Those flying wombats or whatever gangrape the shit out of Estelle. I planned my Quartz around Josh and Est being a team, not to fight solo.
Just beat the jade tower boss, nightmare is no joke in this
Do you think they're gonna make new assets for the Crossbell remake or just reuse the Hajimari ones.
>>721211894And that's good too because they pretty much fight together damn near always. Very rare are solo fights with them. The early game this time is kinda fuckin tough honestly. The crop muncher fight ate my ass too.
>>721212514I completely forgot that they summon like 6 fucking adds midfight with over 3k HP. I am glad i had my shield and clock. I bet newcuties going hardest difficulty get raped constantly.
>>721211147The old soundtrack has some cheap sounding instruments.That's why falcom didn't hire singa this time because his arrangement would've ruined the whole point of this remake kek
>>721212957your mom is cheap as well but we still love her nonetheless
>>721212758I didn't grind the achievements so I had to go through it without earth shield. It's not THAT bad now that you can steal bonuses and crafts aren't dogshit.How do you fill up overdrive gauge btw? I know it's the boost mechanic from calvard but the gauge isn't very clear
12 hours in and I just finished Prologue....I'm not finishing this before Digimon comes out, am I?
>>721212957Singa still lurks in the 'Arranged' ost option I think. If those are the Evo tracks
>>721213162>How do you fill up overdrive gaugeI have no idea but i guess its spamming CP skills, because whenever i do, i have Overdrive like twice in a longer battle. But i am not sure.
>>721177442Play hollow knight like a normal person
Bros I am not really feeling the remake hype. I haven't even finished the prologue yet. wat do
>>721178974meh don't care, the old game look like shit anyway, who the fuck play pixel game in 2025
>>721212047So when will the central gov in Grancel demolish these small town for huge road like in Calvard?
>>721214181thats not normal anon
>>721214782I wonder if they'd embrace cars when their airship infrastructure is already basically perfect
>>721199873fat ass in tight pants
For anyone new to this series, I want to make one thing very clear: there is absolutely no underage drinking in these games.
>>721191792Shadow Spear doesn't seem to work from what I've tested but I'm still using the demo since the digital deluxe is delayed. Can anyone say differently? At least Schera's Estelle's S crafts especially with the Sepith buff still works but I dunno. Farming stuff seems to be more of a pain now.
>>721216438Gotta wait until you're an adult to drink and fuck your teacher.
I'm in my 40s. Am I going to live long enough to play all these Trails games remade? Really enjoying this 1st one.
why the fuck are some dialogs only voiced from one side? its jarring as hell
>>721217338depends on your luck and diet. do you excercise?
>>721177442I heard the remake’s script is trimmed down and less verbose compared to the original even in the Japanese version, can someone confirm if this is true?
I've made it further in the remake than I did the original years back which is good
>>721217903It's not the XSneed translation, there are new story scenes and quests
>>721202970I've loved basically all Kiseki games but I do have to admit Daybreak 2 and Horizon are kinda losing me a bit with how bad they are. You know you fucked up when Rean's parts are the best part of the game.
>>721218269that means you're just lazy
>>721203961>Last game Kondo directed was AzureSo wait, Kondo’s the one responsible for all the good Trails games? (Sky and Crossbell arcs) I thought he was the Hideo Baba of Trials where the games all went down in quality as soon as he stepped into a directing/writing position…
>>721213205I was like 6-7 hours
>>721218709I don't even dislike the story kai is trying to tell, but the story keeps dragging and dragging more.
>>721218967Yeah it's definitely more the pacing and the way it's structured. I thought CS3 was the worst it could get with it literally just repeating itself 4 times in a row until the conclusion but man.
>>721200287>I have completely forgotten how shoujo as fuck FC + SC are. A brooding prettyboy with a violent past + a clumsy tomboyish ditz only discovering her own femininity is such a late 90s/early 00s shoujo pairing it's just insane, i can bet the authors watched something like Princess Tutu before making it.It’s more like reverse Naruto, also seems like they took inspiration from Star Ocean 3 more than anything else based on the direction the series is currently going.>Star Ocean 3 comes out 2003>Trails series starts exactly a year laterFalcom wouldn’t scam us with an entire 15+ game series of the SO3 plot twist stretched out would they bros…? Haha…
>>721209345i don't care what anyone says, I hate his mustache.
>>721190893That's grandmaster? Zamn!
>>721219030Rean and Kevin sections made it so Van's group doesn't feel as connected to the conspiracy, it also made you feel like walking in place as the whole thing takes place in like 2 days. The fact that falcom brought back Rean and Kevin in the first place gave the impression that they're not confident with the new arc. It's just a mess.I'd have more respect with the game if they kept Rean and Kevin's involvement in cameo capacity
>>721220052I think they just wanted to do Hajimari again
>>721220052The only important characters left in the series are rean, mcburn, and grandmaster.
>>721219262Also Kondo isn’t even subtle, it’s always been there right in the very namesEstelle BRIGHT: Get it? Because she shines bright like the sun, haha…Joshua ASTRAY: Because he’s been led astray by the darkness and needs to be brought back into the light.Aidios = A.i.dios: Wouldn’t you like to know? Fufu…
is there no east bose monster hunt in this remake?
>>721220252The goddess name is Eidos, Aidios is xseed fanfic
>too weak to beat boss>can't leave to change weaponsi think i bricked myself
>>721220052Yeah Rean/Atlina + Kevin should have just been guest party members with Van taking the whole bulk of the story. I think it is fairly obvious that they don't have confidence in Van. I don't think he's been particularly well received as a protagonist and with how bad Kuro 2 was I can see why they'd get desperate.
>>721218867No, he was there from the beginning. He helped create the series with Takeiri et al. The original intent was to create a more ambitious followup to the Gagharv trilogy, which kind of fell apart after its main writer quit Falcom. Kondo direct the games from FC to Azure. CS1 was the first title where he had little to no creative input.
are there sexy girls in skimpy outfits with big tits or sexy girls in skimpy outfits that are flat? if there isn't I will not purchase
>>721221651It has a child sex slave raped on a private island whored out to the elite and powerful
>>721221316>main writer quit FalcomWait, which game was this where he quit?>Kondo direct the games from FC to Azure. CS1 was the first title where he had little to no creative input.That’s news to me, because I keep hearing how Rean in particular is Kondo’s own personal pet poochie and self-insert and that’s why he shills and glazes him constantly.
>>721221828There’s also an important figure named Epstein in the series, haha…
>>721221859No the devs don't like Rean, the fanbase does. Rean is literally always number 1 on popularity polls.
>>721220653Aidios is what they call it in the remake too.
>>721221859>Wait, which game was this where he quit?During Legend of Heroes V: Cagesong of the Ocean. Trails wasn't a thing back then.
>>721221859>Rean in particular is Kondo’s own personal pet poochie and self-insert and that’s why he shills and glazes him constantlyhe never did thatit's just CS eventually got a large following and rean is the longest standing main character for the whole seriesyou guys should learn to recognize PR speak really
NEED TITA MODS
>>721221936>>721220252>>721219262Kisekibros, your reaction if the predictions turn out to be correct and they really go through with a Star Ocean 3 type plot twist? And it’s later revealed in behind the scenes interviews that this what they were planning for the series to be all along after the success of SO3 in 2003?
>>721180318This is the type of people who praised the chest messages btw
Does this game crash anyone else's PC? I think its a VRAM issue, im on a 4060 but changing settings doesnt do anything, even with every setting low/off i still crash after 10 minutes of gameplay every time
>>721222110It'd be fine. The only people that don't like Star Ocean 3's twist are brainlets or jaded millenials that can't move past their initial knee jerk reaction from decades ago.
>>721222110with the way their world is set up, it wouldn't surprise me at all. and the "time loop" is just people playing the game getting the golden ending.
>>721222110you again?
How come enemies do significantly more damage when in turn based mode and are just tedious to deal with compared to just keeping it real time?
>>721222110>Star Ocean 3 plot twistIs that the one where it turns out the entire series is just an MMO?
i'm kinda bad at this gameschera should force me down and give me bracer correction
>>721222110I'd be disappointed. It's on par with "it's a dream"
>>721222262>Is that the one where it turns out the entire series is just an MMO?Yep, and it came out exactly one year before Trails as a series launched too, haha…
>>721222290But anon, bracer correction is just her drinking you under the table until you projectile vomit and die of alcohol poisoning.
>>721222110Why is it such a sore spot for people anyway? I don't get it.That doesn't mean the world isn't real.
>>721180318The funny part is that everyone is kneeling to xsneed localizers because they're going to btfo falcoms censorship slop. Everyone wins. You get a script, and you get a script, everyone gets a based sky script!
>>721222431It's a schizo who posts this every thread. Desperate for validation, apparently.
>>721222431Isn't that exactly what it means? Or are you arguing that the perception of its inhabitants as reality means that it might as well be?
>>721222184>It'd be fine. The only people that don't like Star Ocean 3's twist are brainlets or jaded millenials that can't move past their initial knee jerk reaction from decades ago.No, fuck you for defending that lazy-ass, creatively bankrupt meta “plot twist.” Saying “it was all a video game all along” in a FUCKING VIDEO GAME is just deliberately trolling the players.
>>721222243You do more damage in command mode too.It's faster to dogpile on a large enemy with S-Break while stunned than doing piss damage in action mode.
>>721222243action combat is just a tool for cutting through trash, realtime in the real combat the game is made around with all the mechanics and nuances. but its just a bit painful when the enemies are only really weak arts so you have to stun them and switch to tactical to finish them efficiently. enemies do a lot of damage but offset by the fact you have so many ways of controlling them so they can hardly act.
>>721222462Why does Kurt attract these autists?
>>721222505Fiction isn't real. A "story within a story" conceit doesn't make the inner story any more or less real, and it can still be enjoyed on its own merits.
>>721184781No one says that but the jeets you mossadniggers hire desu.
>>721222431>Why is it such a sore spot for people anyway?Because it breaks immersion and is the game outright telling you that you are in fact just playing a game but in a try-hard “le clever” way.
>>721222505>Or are you arguing that the perception of its inhabitants as reality means that it might as well be?Yes? Why is it not?Does zemuria being artificially-made world suddenly made estelle's entire life journey invalid?
>no physical switch version in EUNo money for you then.
>>721222505>>721222667It worked for Expedition 33
>>721189420Yummy
>>721177442>stagger the usual day 1 DLC and call it a Season PassNah, I think I'll wait until October.
>>721185549>Falcom canonized another one of my snekstelle memes.What the fuck is going on with this reset, legitimately.
>>721222617>Fiction isn't real.Yes but you don’t want the story outright breaking the 4th wall and reminding you of that fact.>A story within a storyThat’s not what the Star Ocean 3 plot twist is. What it is is the entire game breaking character, looking into the camera winking and outright telling the player that this is all just a game.
>>721222506So which one are you: brainlet or damaged millennial?
>>721205237Doesn't the series go on to focus on the threat of white supremacy?
>>721223090hi wokefag
>>721223079>t. zoomer who willingly slurps up scamming 4th wall breaking slop.I am 33 in fact and could tell that plot twist was fucking retarded and bad writing even back when I was 12 and first played the game.
>>721179957>When does it get good?It doesn't. Trails is a slop series. Cold Steel 1 is maybe the only good game in the series but it immediately drops the interesting Academy setting for generic JRPG slop in part 2.
>>721190667Vanguard is also Blackrock no? But with those tiny ass numbers what can they even do?
>>721222947>Yes but you don’t want the story outright breaking the 4th wall and reminding you of that fact.First of all, plenty of stories do just that, and whether it's good or bad depends on how they use it. Second, revealing a framing story does not inherently break the fourth wall.>That’s not what the Star Ocean 3 plot twist is.Yes it is. In SO3, the universe is a "game" where various events and plotlines are run for the enjoyment of "players".>What it is is the entire game breaking character, looking into the camera winking and outright telling the player that this is all just a game.The only game I know of that does that is Metal Gear Solid 2, and it's brilliant (and, yes, also a bit of troll).
>>721177442Holy shit. I just tried the "load most recent save" option on the Steam launcher and within 5 seconds of hitting that button I was able to start playing. Absolute game-changer that I want to see more PC games do
>>721223647This has been a standard feature of kiseki since like CS3
>>721219280>mustacheHater
>>721222752>It worked for Expedition 33I don’t play westoid slop, spoil me on this. Did it seriously pull a Star Ocean 3 plot twist and now it’s being considered GOTY material and one of the best games of all time?
>>721224095Are they gonna bother remaking the other games? These games looked like an eyesore before so I didn't play em but this actually looks nice.
>>721223986That's awesome. I've only played a little bit of the original from them
>>721224437Yes because funnily enough execution is everything and it doesn't become automatically bad just because you said it's bad. E33 is one of the best written video games released in the past decade if not THE best written video game.
>>721224437The "plot twist" if you want to call it that is what makes E33's story so compelling. If it was just a generic fight against the big bad, it would not have gotten the massive accolades that it did.
>>721224440The second game is already announced. Hard to say on the others. Speculation is that 3 is likely because they already have a lot of the assets.
>>721224523not even top 20 lmao
>>721224619>not even top 20Always love when you can tell a retard just pulled something out of his ass without actually thinking about it in the slightest. I'm sure you instantly came up with 20 games with better writing released in the past decade in the less than 2 minutes between your post and mine.
>>721224437I thought your complaint was that SO3 "invalidated" previous entries in the series? There are no prior games for E33, and the twist is an integral part of its plotline. Of course, it's a matter of taste as to whether you like it or not.
>>721224523Planescape, Disco Elysium, TLOU1 still better imo but it's firmly somewhere in the top 10.
>>721224440They'll likely do the next 4 games or they'll do SC and the 2 Crossbell games. There's no way they do Cold Steel though.
>>721224523>E33 is one of the best written video games released in the past decade if not THE best written video game.Best written games are FFVII and Xenogears, and neither of their plot twists resort to cheap meta storytelling of “lol dude, it was all just a video game all along!”If this is what the West considers good writing then they have the shittiest of shit taste.
People aren't mad about Horizon's reset ending since it was foreshadowed, everything about Ouroboros and the snake eating itself and eternal reoccurrence were leading up to it, they're mad because it ended being another cliffhanger set-up game. Sky 1st got away with it because its the first game and Cold Steel III while shocking dropped the ball with its followup sequel.
>>721224564>>721224760Neat, I guess I'll pick this up at some point after I'm done with Ninja Gaiden 4.
>xenogearslolLMAO even
how long is this game?
>>721224814Love the irony of you criticising other people's taste when you're too retarded to actually think beyond your own small minded retard view of what a story can do with that concept.
>>721224878The only bad thing about Xenogears writing is it’s rushed slide-show second disc, the story itself and the concepts and themes it explores is pretty brilliant though and the most ambitious story in all of gaming.
>>721224960When I played the original, it was 40 hours.
>>72122496050-80 hours, original game was 40 hours
>>721224727>TLOU1>well written Kek. Disco Elysium has a pretty meh story but I agree the prose itself is pretty good. Planescape is the only legit top 10 contender here. The other two get BTFO'd by Legacy of Kain, Steins;Gate, Muramasa or Xenogears.
>>721224817It would be quicker to name the Kiseki games that DON'T have a cliffhanger ending than ones that do.
>>721224814FFVII does the unreliable narrator thing, which is a related trope. Its original creators also doubled down on this with the remake, with the characters in the remake apparently being aware of the original story.The second disc of Xenogears is literally a guy in a chair telling you a story.
Is the Towaposter going to bless this thread now that it has hit the bump limit?
>>721224440Like 80% of the work is already done for Sky 2nd since it reuses the map for all but the last chapter
Towa on the tenth page! Falcom should have added a Towa cameo like in Azure. Just have her randomly in Grancel or something.
