In 3 hours we are going to be able to play the best JRPG of the year.

>>what device will you be playing on?
PC
>>what difficulty are you going for?
i'm thinking nightmare. i played DB1 on nightmare and it was easy until the final boss's first phase where you couldn't use van. that was a huge PITA. second phase was a little annoying too, much more more manageable
>>what characters are you looking the most forward to?
my wife elaine. also kevin
>>
>>730848167
Not even the best JRPG being released in the next 30 days, let alone this year.

PS5 I think. Got a new TV recently and Trails feels soul on the couch.
>>
very easy diff as usual
>>
>>730848167
what the fuck did they do to kevin's design holy shit
>>
I dropped the series after Daybreak 1. Has anything plot-significant actually happened or is it more filler?
>>
>>730848619
daybreak 2 is just filler from what ive read, i couldnt stomach past the first couple chapters
>>
>>730848619
>>730848653
Not only does Horizon not move the plot forward, it actually moves the plot backward by introducing time travel and undoing many of the events in Daybreak 1.
>>
For me, it's Towa.
>what device will you be playing on?
PS5
>>what difficulty are you going for?
Normal. Makes sense for a first run.
>>what characters are you looking the most forward to?
Towife!
Also Rean, Crow and Rufus. Cool that Bergard is back too after his random absence from Daybreak 2.
>>730848619
Literally the only thing that happened in Daybreak 2 was Van collecting the 8th Chaos Emerald and a few new characters being introduced.

Wow. I'm still working on finishing CS4, but seeing Towa's design in DBII is insane. She got a lot taller...finally and her hair is longer. I almost didn't recognize her. She must have had an insane growth spurt.

Anyone getting Squall vibes from Van's jacket? Looks rad.

It's the fur + hair

>>730850286
Wait till you see his scraft bro
>>
>>730849653
Towa is still small, it's mainly the slimmer Daybreak artstyle that makes everyone look taller.
For instance, you can see that she's actually shorter than Renne and Fie, two characters she used to be taller than in previous arcs. It's Fie who really had the big growth spurt between games.

But yes Towa looks amazing in the new engine. Falcom struck a great balance of "cute" and "sophisticated" for her Calvard design.

The Prologue chapter boss is going to kick your ass. Keep in mind though that it's the hardest enemy in the game by a massive margin, nothing else comes close to that boss.

>Prologue chapter boss (...) it's the hardest enemy in the game by a massive margin, nothing else comes close to that boss.

>>
>>730858593
mostly a problem because you have no gear/options
>>
>>730858618
That's the problem with every Trails game. It's only hard at the very start when you have no options. Once you unlock the options (usually by late chapter 1/early chapter 2) the game just becomes a cakewalk because the devs don't account for those new options you have access to.

coming from trails 1st you can really feel the difference in how falcom made older narratives compared to newer ones.

i do hope all the combat improvements from KAI make it into SC tho, field and command battles are much more fun than in DB2 so far
>>
>>730859660
I felt that even while playing the remake. The new side quests they added made it super obvious that they were new and you could just see the soul evaporate in real time.
>>
>>730858593
i always dread the beginnings of trails games on nightmare because of this. with few options you are quite dependent on some rng going your way with the turns.

reverie was especially brutal, the clair fight was a bitch on nightmare and the first time i grinded an additional level on mobs. and the fights after this were nailbiters as well, especially if you are going for the bonus objectives

Pretty sure Kevin has the same model 3-D from Van, with different hair/clothes, and that's the only reason he was brought back to the series.

Ehr, if you have 0 idea of what the systems of the game are, go normal.
I personally always recommend newcomers go normal, simply because there are quite a few systems to learn and most Trails games don't spend a lot of time teaching you them very well.
Hard is more fun though, and if you're experienced with the JRPG genre you should be able to put it all together fast enough to have a good time on hard.

Makes sense. All the diehards already played it and at best you can say people are mixed on it with a lot outright hating it. It's also the 13th game a lot of people just got fed up with the series and quit years ago. It's also the game that followed Daybreak 2 which is largely agreed to be the worst game in the entire series.

What's the appeal of this series? They try to sell themselves on the combat system based on their steam page. But the discussion here seems focused on booba. Are there good romance routes or something?

Trails is a subseries within The Legend of Heroes series called Eiyū Densetsu in Japan. Sky is the sixth ED game, and each arc since is considered one new entry.
>>
>>730870249
One of the appeal is that this is "one of the video game series" that is continuous and a very vast "worldbuilding". Every entry is a sequel to another and they all connected and has a single overarching story that spans for 20 years.
>>
>>730848167
The best of the year? It's only january though.

What if Decapolice or Boukenka Eriotto turn out to be really good
>>
>>730870338
erectile dysfunction. A prerequisite for all Trails players
>>
Have they said how many remakes they're doing and how fast they're going to come out? They seem to be able to get new entries of the series proper out extremely frequently.
>>
>>730871184
the mainline series is essentially on hold indefinitely, they could stop the remakes after sc or they could remake the whole series up to cold steel 4
depends how they keep selling
id say buckle up though, the sky remake sold extremely well overseas and falcom are dying in the jp market so they'll probably bank on remakes for the near future
>>
>>730870731
So typically you started playing one a long time ago and now you want to continue? I mean that's fair, but calling that "the greatest game of the year" is pretty rich.
>>
>>730871184
I read Sky 1st remake was mostly outsourced, which explains uh.. many things.. lol
Falcom is aaaass. Anyway yeah the Crossbell games seriously need a good 3d remake.
>>
>>730871293
wtf they're putting it on hold? they don't have production capacity to do both?
>>
>>730871184
They've already planned to do crossbell remakes with somewhat confusing statement that they gonna skip Sky 3rd to do that first. Maybe after crossbell they'll do Sky 3rd but I hope that isn't the case. For how fast they're gonna come out well there's Kai 2 on the horizon so don't know.
>>
We need CS5
>>
>>730869634
Ehr, it's one of those "shit sucks" but not enough to really do anything about. The pay is good, the job is boring as sin and I have no career path but it's not demanding at fucking all. I can spend a lot of time goofing off having office-chair races with my coworkers. I'd be worried if I was in my 30s but I'm 21 so I'm kinda alright getting a few years of security experience on my resume.
>>
>>730871184
They're already talking about remaking either Zero or 3rd next so they'll probably remake them all the way to Reverie. Supposedly the story is almost over so I'm assuming they are doing the remakes now to try and strech the lifespan of the series a bit further, basically releasing either 2 to 3 remakes before working on the actual story itself.
>>
>>730871378
the mainline series has been bleeding players for years but the last couple of entries were complete flops, the sky 1st remake was the first successful game in the series in years
on top of that they have other non-trails games to make like the next xanadu and new ys games so they basically just put the series on hold and said "eh we'll get to it when we get to it" so horizons sequel could very well not be out for 4+ years
>>
>>730871386
jesus that sounds like it'll backfire
>>
>>730871321
Trails? GOTY? Lol lmao even nah. Also I should've said "continuous story".
>>
>>730871378
He;s talking out of his ass. They'll probably probably stop after SC for now. Sky 3rd bombed in Japan and they don't want a repeat so they'll skip a remake, and Crossbell already has modern ports. Sky remakes were were done partially because the devs were burn out on the Calvard arc.
>>
>>730871293
>>730871527
the good sales surely means they have more money to make stuff though right? I don't know how precarious Falcom's financial position is but they've always looked like they were perpetually struggling from what I could tell
>>
>>730871814
falcom arent in any danger financially they're just fucking cheap
>>
>>730871846
Really? How are they so secure? Do they have revenue sources I'm not aware of
>>
>>730871378
>>730871814
You're implying Falcom is a really big and expensive company which it isn't. It's not like they can do yearly releases with constant good profits.
>>
>>730871873
they're secure because they take almost no risks and they cut every single corner possible in development
>>
>>730871913
So your fanbase is happy with bare minimum shit made with PS3 graphics, got it.
>>
>>730872004
i never said being a falcom fan didn't make you a shiteater if anything i was helping support that point
>>
>>730871814
There's a reason they've pumped out 13 Trails games in 20 years. These games cost nothing to make and they outsource huge amounts of the development of the recent entires.
>>
>>730869849
nothing happens: the series

>>730872164
who do they outsource to? are there really cheap outsource studios who can put out trails-level quality games if you ask for it

Thing is, if you're effectively growing and participating in society, you're naturally going to lose the ability to relate to the characters in stories like Trails. Being a rabid fan of something like this as a grown-ass man is akin to being a Harry Potter adult, but /v/tards will call it 'based' because it's 'thing (Japan)'

Relatability isn't as important as suspension of disbelief, and if you lose your ability to enjoy fiction just because you can't relate, you're unironically no better than faggots on Xitter who can't enjoy games where the characters are too attractive or not black enough or whatever the fuck.

Do Calvard games still have the terrible haremshit?

No not really. The only serious potential for relationships in the game is either Van's old high school sweetheart or Van's new high school sweetheart.
>>
>>730878063
No. We're locked in with just two girls.
>>
>>730878063
its this weird compromise where theres a few girls who are all in love with the mc but you can't actually choose any of them though not to the absurd extreme like in cold steel
maybe the final game will change this but it feels like they were desperately trying to have their cake and eat it too

>>
>>730878279
The two I mentioned are the only ones in the story that are actively pushed. Granted one of those was in an event but Kondo said that was supposed to be in the main story.
>>
>>730878063
Not a harem officially, but lots of girls fall in love with the MC. It seems only two, at most three, have a real shot with him. But it seems the player won't have any input in who the MC chooses.
>>
>>730878063
Van Von Daybreak is more of a dad or older brother to the girl roster.

Why is Millium even a thing? Fie already fills the loli role and she's actually pleasant to be around and pretty well written while Millium is literally an annoying ass child character that actively brings down any scene she's a part of. CS1 btw.

Feri, Risette and Judith are kinda in the harem. I think it is clear they all have crushes on Van but are not IN LOVE like the others. Feri and Judith get pushed together with Van via family, and Risette clearly has a soft spot for him.
>>
>>730877661
Most Trails fans never played a JRPG from before 2010.
But yes, there are paralells. Cold Steel saga had a much better pay-off and ending than Xenosaga and Xenoblade.
>>
>>730879342
neither feri or judiths events are in any way romantic and with risette its more about her personal existential crisis over her own senses than it is about her having a crush on van

Why don't you listen to the final dialogue in their last connect event in Daybreak 2. Feri, however, still treats Van as her older brother there.
>>
Is this a good explanation why the Trails series is dying?
>>
>>730879837
Yes. The "bigger" Trails got the worse it became though given what the series is it was an inevitability. Mostly just because I think Falcom are bad at telling epic stories and their charm only really shines through when they keep everything simple. But the series hasn't been simple for a long, long time. Falcom were just the wrong dev to try to attempt what Trails does.

Hot take that will upset 99% of CS haters. Rean is not a Mary Sue, he has all these powers and special destinies going for him and yet he jobs more than Estelle and Lloyd do making them objectively bigger Mary Sue's than he is. Estelle especially being the biggest offender as the worst Mary Sue in the series who has absolutely no place being involved in 90% of the stories events and yet is forced in everywhere like the world itself is contorting to have her be important. People who call Rean a Mary Sue flat out do not know what a Mary Sue is.

NTA but CS > Daybreak > Crossbell > Sky
I don't care how good the story is if the gameplay is as terrible as it is in Sky and to a lesser extent Crossbell. Besides while being more cohesive the story in Sky is a lot less interesting and fun being pretty plain and generic. The story in CS is batshit insane and way more fun despite how messy it is.

Man this game is a fucking drag. Prologe was ok. But this feels like such a step back after Sky. Who thought it was a good I dead to have several hours worth of walking around town talking to NPC's right at the beginning of the game. I'm just not having a good time.

>>730892570
popular ≠ good
let's not kid ourselves and admit CS is popular because of its comparison to persona, and because it was the closest thing to persona on the vita
and it's the worst of both worlds because the writing and tone are unlike sky and crossbell, and it doesn't develop characters half as well as persona and it doesn't have the same addictive gameplay loop
>>730892572
>highest rated
Source, nigger? Everyone that has ever put out a tierlist usually ranks them in the very bottom or near it. CS bears a negative stigma despite its popularity, not unlike yakuza 3, dark souls 2 and xenoblade 2

it is

I'm not sure what's so dull about Daybreak compared to the rest of the series. I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to skip ahead and get your bearings but you might regret it. They're gonna spoil the ending of Daybreak II immediately for you as well.
>>730900810
I'm not sure why the games still try to incentivize NG+ playthroughs given they're all 100+ hours to beat the first time. But you can get around seeing all the Bonding scenes by loading a save. The main thing you can't do in one playthrough is max out all the Alignments so you miss out on some extra bosses, onyx steels and achievements. I just finished Daybreak II and cleared all the quests yet didn't max out a single alignment so I got giga screwed. Thankfully I have no intention of ever going back to it.
>>
>>730902578
It is though actually. This is not a new concept, this entire arc has been tackling the in-universe immigration thing since Daybreak. Issues with immigration and the policies about it in Calvard have been mentioned literally as early as Sky. Fuck off, tourist.
>>
>>730902364
The police chief is a dark Indian. Other than that I haven't seen any.
>>730902578
The only cope I got is that they said "western" and not white in the jap text, referring to the cold steel empire and not just white people... I fear that I'm just coping though. There were anti-immigration "terrorists" in Daybreak 2 after all.

I get the field combat is not everyone's cup of tea but as a person that has been playing these games almost in succession I appreciate the change of pace. I actually enjoy the turn based combat more. And if it is any comfort, Horizon and Sky 1st is when the field combat gets a polish and doesn't feel as clunky as in Daybreak 1.

Van's new jacket is perfect for him and way better than that ugly ass jacket he had in the first two games.
Agnes continues to be beautiful.
Feri's new outfit is a huge upgrade.
Aaron's jacket is fucking tight as hell and suits him perfectly.
Risette looks good in her summer maid outfit. I'm not sure it's technically an upgrade but it's still pretty so whatever.
Quatre looks the same but I guess it's an upgrade.
Judith is basically the same, not that I mind because she's still hot as fuck.

Its shoved down everyone's throat so much it makes you think Calvard is Crossbell tier in how small it is until you remember it's the size of the Empire with way less locations to vist. You can't even walk thorough the whole map and explore a bit.
