2 days until the West is OFFICIALLY caught up with Nippon with Trails.It's been a long time coming bros. But we persevered. We are finally caught up. Until next year. Where we'll be left behind again because NISA SUCKS DICK.But for now? We rejoice. We are caught up.
>>730707140i gotta say, DB2 completely turned me off on this series. i mean after 12 games i'm in it for the long haul, but that game killed my excitement for this series in a way i never could've expected. i really hope horizon is better
>>730707228Is it skippable? Serious question.
>>730707140>Rean and KevinKINO
>>730707228What did DB2 do wrong for you?
This game is gonna be heckin poggers max rizz
>>730707303>This game is gonna be heckin poggers max rizzYeah, that what happens when you put Rean and Kevin in the same game.
>>730707303Any of the games got any patches to unfuck the troonslation?
>>730707248from the little i've seen from horizon's trailers, it seems like it's gonna be fairly important. at the very least, you'll see some returning characters from DB2. i still hated that game so it's really hard for me to say this, but it's probably worth a playthrough regardless. i mean like i said if you've already made it through 11 games, what's one stinker among friends?>>730707273i thought the narrative was stupid as hell. the main gimmick is bad, the whole "collect the macguffins" thing got old by the end of the first game and they did it twice again in DB2, lots of dumb stuff like quatre's thing, the entire game felt like a filler episode... idk, i'm kinda hard-pressed to think of what DB2 did right for me. i guess i really liked the OST, even if it's a lot more generic than previous entries. the final boss was also neatfor the record i also hated CS2 and CS4, but they still "felt" ok, as nebulous as that sounds. DB2 just didn't click with me at all
>>730707483The best you'll get is the fan translation
>>730707303LMAO NISAKEKS ARE SO KEKED.I'm glad I abandoned them After CS4.
>>730707140Nice, thanks for reminding me Anon. Had forgotten about this.
Hahabros... we arise!
>>730707483the translators are the fan translators, they have been like this for ages

>>730707228I don't really understand how people made it through Cold Steel to begin with
>>730708847No ones gatekeeping this shit unless they mean self gatekeeping by seeing that it has so many titles to play through. But that should be the appeal and if that gatekeeps people then so be it. Tired of fags pretending they don't have time.
>>730707303bruh
>>730708847this man is gay af
>>730708916no you don't understand when i ask if i can start from the newest entry and people say to start from the beginning i'm being gatekept
>>730708847Anyone who tells you to start from the newest entry is a paid shill.
>>730707140Neat. Hope it's better than daybreak 2.The Sky remake kinda rekindled my faith a bit tho.
>>730708847I genuinely don't understand why this guy gets review codes from every company he's an actual nobody
Classic Heroes thread. This old video still holds up pretty well https://youtu.be/81nhkIPdzk4
>>730709330it isi played it last year and it's waaay better
>>730707303
I'm never touching this pozed franchise until I learn JP, not even pirating it, the moment you give their work the time of day is the moment they've won, regardless of how that happened.
>>730709784Tita drove me insane in the remake, the way the lighting works always making one of the lenses on her goggles white and the other black in every single scene. It irked me every time.
>>730708847Is this that fag? I saw a video in my feed and I started watching it until he started talking about sucking his husbands dick. I was really grossed out. Leave it to gays to talk about being gatekept.
>after decades we actually managed to catch up
How do I get into this series? There's like a trillion games and now there are remakes too?
>>730710743you play the first one and if you don't like it you stopif you like it you go on and play the second oneand so oni don't know why people have difficulty with this
I am just here to declare that Crossbell belongs to the Erebonian Empire. Calv*rdian's need not @ me.
>>730707270>>730707140>all my HEROES are here!11truly the marvelsloppa of JRPGs
>>730710936Erebonian men gets to keep all the Crossbellan women.
>Rean and Kevin in the same placeha ha, I can taste the salt already
>>730711121Juna belongs to Kurt.
>>730710936>loses Crossbell>twice>not even to an enemy but to itselfErebonians are the browns of Zemuria.
>>730711195Kurt is an Erebonian man, so I will concede.
>>730707140>our remake will attract newcomers to play our latest filler entry!
>>730711640
>>730711708kek based honest payed shill.
>>730709330Everything is better than Daybreak 2 Anon.
>>730710936In fairness Calvardians are really fucking stupid.>Empire declares war out of the blue>gets gaped by internal forces>loses horribly>this would be the perfect time to swipe Crossbell, a highly-contested middle-ground, away from the Empire once and for all>instead ask for financial aid>this not only makes you look economically weak, extremely dumb but also short-sighted>financial aid ends>this could easily have been avoided had you just asked to keep Crossbell insteadNo wonder they had to dump their last president for the Calvardian MAGA Man.
>>730712630What, exact, use would Crossbell bring now? The only reason it thrives is BECAUSE it's the middle-point between Erebonia and Calvard. It profits because of taxing both countries to trade with each other, and grows almost solely because neither country properly polices it and thus serves as a criminal haven. Realistically the Crosbell police is terribly understaffed and underpowered compared to the entire continents crime organizations centering there. The international bank is only placed there BECAUSE of it's neutrality. If Calvard took the place over they'd just move, the criminals would find somewhere else to go, and the taxation would go out the window.All this would do is leave Calvard with a slum they are now economically responsible for.
>>730707140Oh yeah that's soon. I should clear my schedule.
I kind of wish GoG would let me pre-order. That way I didn't have to sit ready on release. Minor complaint for a DRM-free legit copy I guess.
>>730707140Got my collector's edition order in!>>730713563>gogfags
>>730711195Least delusional shipper tranny
>>730713669i miss full steel collector's editionsdeluxe shite doesn't feel as cool
>>730707248Yeah kinda. Not a lot really happens in DB2 and I highly doubt they're going to reference it heavily in the future.
>>730707303>"upping my rizz"Black female DEI hire hands typed those words
>>730707140I am rejoicing!
>>730714817It was this whitey boy.
I knocked out Trails of Cold Steel I–IV from last month into this month. That’s four whole games and the volume is insane, but honestly I had a good time with it overall, and it definitely made me wanna jump into the next one. BUT I have to say some things started cracking me up. Like, you beat the boss, and then the cutscene kicks in and suddenly your party is on their knees like you’re about to get wiped. And then, every time, reinforcements show up from some super dramatic high ground (why is it always the top of a cliff??) Also everyone is constantly doing the whole “I’ve made my peace / I’m prepared for anything” thing way too often, there are so many “………ah………”, and how many times is Claire gonna show up like “Oh, long time no see”?? Girl, we saw you like yesterday. Anyway yeah, I’ve got a lot to poke fun at, but it was really enjoyable.
>>730707140Any talks of a Switch 2 version?
For me, it's Towa. I am eagerly awaiting the return of REAN KINO. Our hero is back after a tragically long two game absence!
I'm still going through reverie postgame stuff, but good to know I've got three games to work through when that's done.
>>730715672How the hell did you slam out four Trails games in two months? Did you bumrush the story and not talk to any NPCS? Are you a NEET? I usually take well over a month to beat one.
>>730707140oh fuck i completely forgot this comes out in january
>>730709784Wasn't TitS remake supposed to be good? Call me when there's a proper translation. At this rate an AI translator will yield better and more immersive experience.
>>730716417It is but the translation is still the weakest part
>>730707303>garbage localization.Yarr Harr.
>>730716417- It's the only example in the game. 99% of the game is translated so faithfully that it's actually a bit awkward and ESL-y at times. - "Sus" has been a regular phase long before it became a meme. Hell, the way Estelle uses it there makes it sound like she's using the OTHER meaning of sus: something looking a bit gay. It's nothing like NISA deliberately inserting shit like "rizz" and "unc" into the game. Gungho actually removed all of the quirky crap Xseed added in the original TitS translation.
