Tokyo Xanadu was really good, I hope they wont ruin this one with wokeness like they did with Trails
>>732351339>Tokyo Xanadu was really goodlollmaowhy do they even decide to soil the xanadu name with that shit anyways? it has less than nothing to do with the actual xanadu games
>>732351339>Tokyo Xanadu was really goodit was passable
>>732351589It was better than Xanadu Next>>732351339>Trails>wokeBlame the localizers
>>732351745>It was better than Xanadu NextHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAthis nigger thinks it's really fucking opposite day up in here
>>732351339>Tokyo Xanadu was really good
Tokyo Xanadu was dogshit and the 2D sections are the only reason I have any hope for this one.
>>732351339What even is Xanadu about like what is the basic premise and gameplay?Is it an ongoing storyline like Trails or the same main dude like in Ys?
>>732351745>It was better than [one of the best games of Falcom's 00s revival].Not even believable bait, but sure, I'll help your viral marketing thread.
>>732351745>It was better than Xanadu NextIf you actually believe this, stop playing video games forever. Your presence ruins the industry if people even think about making a game targeting you.
>>732351339I have bad news for you.
>>732352415Original Xanadu was an action RPG pioneer and what stuff like Zelda built off of (alongside Tower of Druaga). It was a side scrolling computer game that used the formula of dungeon crawlers like Ultima. Very brutal, no real story, a bit jank. Got some remakes and extra content over the years.Xanadu Next was a Diablo clone when those were in vogue, but was more focused on being an atmospheric single player adventure than the multiplayer and grind focus D2 moved that genre towards. It's a solid action RPG that gives a bit of lip service to the few ideas of the original. Very much was ahead of the curve, had the From Software vibe when they were still nobodies.Tokyo Xanadu only has "is an action RPG" and "name-drops some stuff" in common. It's a bad game. Action combat built off the back of a turn based game's on field encounter system. Had a ton of Persona isms.Kyoto is namedropping past Xanadu stuff way more directly, is incorporating the side scrolling of the original, and appears to be using Falcom's new Ys 10 combat, so it might be good.
>>732351745The localizers didn't add in white supremacist terrorists ruining muh wholesome chungus multicultural republic. That's the whole narrative. The Calvard Arc is an exercise in pure race communist libtardism.
>>732351339You anti-Falcom schizos are truly beyond help. Their games are not even that popular here yet you froth at the mouth at any mention. >>732351745It wasn't even fucking woke. The biggest thing I can think of is Quatre, who literally was made that way by force by devil worshippers.
>>732352859>ys 10 combat>good
>>732351339>woke>woke>woke>woke>everything is culture war
>>732352415https://youtu.be/pFJrEgYCJMoThis is Xanadu.https://youtu.be/w9cb_o0eUAkThis is Xanadu Next.https://youtu.be/OQTG_IJvU_IThis is Tokyo Xanadu.
>>732353079Didn't say that. Just implying that's a better starting point than Coldsteel's on field strikes. Honestly looks more like 8/9 imo but knowing Falcom 10 is more likely. Doesn't look like the Daybreak 2/Sky Remake system to me.
>>732352859>>732353272What the hell the first 2 looks like a totally different franchise to Tokyo and the one that was shown today, are they even in the same universe or is it alike in name only?Next looks awesome though I’m surprised I missed it until now, I’ll probably grab it and give it a start in the next couple days
Tokyo Xanadu was one of the worst games I ever finisheddungeons are all recolored hallways, combat is blind button mash, localization is garbage
Making it a side scroller is a good idea, Ys for 3D action, Trails for turn based RPG and now this one.
>>732353603Based.All Xanadu games so far have been their own thing, but Tokyo feels like it was a soft reboot, yeah. Most of Falcom's games up until ~the early 00s skewed towards those first two in tone with some outliers. Then when Trails took off with the otaku crowd, they skewed way more towards what you're seeing now. Kyoto looks like it's at least aware that Tokyo alienated some people and they're moving a *bit* back, but not by a ton. I'll give it a fair shake instead of judging it pre emptively.If Xanadu Next is your vibe, check out Brandish. It's kino. I like the PC version, but the PSP version is more accessible for the young.https://youtu.be/O0MGkyW4qKw
>>732353683Sadly I think that's just a gimmick to save costs and most of the game is still 3D. We'll see. I hope most of it is 2D, too.
>>732351339only mentally ill retards think trails is woke
You don't have to lie op.Literally everyone already knows the only reason Tokyo Xanadu exists is because Ys 8 got delayed and the shareholders at Falcom needed SOMETHING to file the gap. That's it. It's literally a filler gameXanadu NEXT is the game people actually played and liked and still want a proper follow up
>>732354315yeah, I liked it a lot until they showed the boss fights being 3D, it is better to just stick to one idea and polishing it.
>>732354512>Xanadu NEXT is the game people actually playedI wish this was true but, objectively, way more people played and liked TX than XN. It's just the hardcore nerds like you or me who both played XN and didn't like TX.
>>732354512I just want their old games brought over desu. Let me play Dinosaur. I got partway in translating moon runes but it got exhausting.
>>732354857>Let me play Dinosaur.Wait passshhhh..g-geofront AHAHAHAHAHAHAH>Retards realize working on 2000s era pc games is harder than console and literally needed to ask for help
>>732351339as long as they port it to PC too
>>732354970The translation's been done for years, they're just busy trying to "polish it up" in hopes they'll get paid for it by NIS or Marvellous. Pisses me off.
>>732355043You're a damn fool if you buy a Falcom game at launch after what they pulled with Proud Nordics.
>>732352910It's woke because it says that using force to kill all the immigrants and create an anarchic ethnostate is bad.
>>732355110Then they're truly retarded. Dinosaur resurrection was from 2002, it's a VERY hard sell to repackage a PC game from then to resell now as brand new game at full price especially when it's obscure. Ys and trails could barely get away with it
Having 2D sections is cool. Hopefully the game's dungeons are longer than Tokyo's tiny ass mini mazes.
>>732352872Which Trails game is that? Can I drop the franchise beforehand or does the previous game end on a cliffhanger or with unresolved plotlines?
>>732355501It's the first Calvard game, but Sky 1 is about fighting deep state ultranationalists that want to militarize the nation and depose a queen. Zero and Azure are about how the wealthy exploit their influence and power in a corrupt government. Cold Steel is just blatantly about the class struggle between nobility and common people until it becomes a super robot tournament.
>>732355295The translation was given to them by a dedicated fan who was told they could implement it for him. Years ago, they announced they'd be "polishing it up" to modern standards before releasing it.It's very obvious they're trying to Crossbell it, but Dinosaur doesn't have the demand for that. If they release it or White Witch for free, with no deal with a publisher at all, I'll be shocked.
>732351745>It was better than Xanadu NextNo.Also, gonna cuk you outta this (You), you baiting faggot
>>732352872But in the Calvard arc most immigrants ARE usually good people unlike real life.
>>732351339>not the real xanadui hate falcom and their tranime slops/tropes so much its unreal
I wanna try a Xanadu game which should I try
>>732352161I love how much Tokyo Xanadu mind breaks that one faggot
>>732356756Xanadu Next, start there then stop there.
>>732351745>It was better than Xanadu Next
>>732356756Start with the original on the PC-88.
Where my Dragon Slayer niggas atNew Sorcerian soon, trust the process
>>732355295wait what, they remade dinosaur?
>>732353603>Tokyo and the one that was shown today, are they even in the same universe or is it alike in name only?it's not even alike in name, it has less than nothing to do with xanadu, xanadu shouldn't even be in its name, they should've called it something else, at least xanadu next still revolved around finding the long lost dragon slayer sword and using it to slay the big bad dragon lord
>>732357563yeah it was back when falcom were remaking some of their older games
>>732352585oh no a bunch of mutual funds have single-digit percentage ownership of shares, this changes everything.........
>>732357463The Saturn version of Dragon Slayer is actually kinda fun. I can't deal with the others. Drasle Family is also kino.
>>732357563They remade nearly all of their games back when they were training new staff after the second massive staff exodus.
Does this one have anything to do with Tokyo Xanadu?
>OMG IT'S A SIDE SCROLLER!! FUN FACT: THE ORGINAL XANADU WAS ALSO A SIDE SCROLLER!!How much do you wanna bet that this is the top comment on one of the youtube videos.
>>732352161>>732352435>>732352527>>732357034Both are mediocre and have similar critic/user scores. Tokyo Xanadu is discount Coldsteel and Xanadu Next is some obscure mediocre game that posers pretend to like for internet points.
>>732358713Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu is where it's at but EOP will never understand.
>>732358713>and Xanadu Next is some obscure mediocre game that posers pretend to like for internet points.Filtered bitch
>>732358713Metacritic scores experinced heavy inflation. even a GotY of some year in 80s or 90s will bar Ocarina, not have a score in the 90s.
I'm waiting for Faxanadu 2.
>>732358713>appeal to (((metacritic)))retarded westoidal nigger detected
>>732359150hudson is long dead and all of its ip is owned by fucking konami of all people, so don't hold your breath
>>732358632Less>OH MY GOD IT'S THE THINGand more>Fuck, at least that's SOMETHING to separate it from Falcom's other series.
>>732359150Swixanadu.
>>732358713Getting internet points implies anyone, anywhere cares about Xanadu Next. It just caters to nerds who like old games more. Trying to spin it as inauthentic is retarded.>>732358903You don't even need to be able to read Japanese to beat the second one.
>>732359414I get a giggle everytime I think about Konami firing all their video game developers and putting all of their eggs into pachinko in the year of our lord 2019.
>>732351339Falcom is saving Japanese games
>>732358713If you played Xanadu Next, you would get it. That game is kino through and through, it's Ys Souls.
>>732359414konami is one of the devs that actually remembers IPs other than their flagships existsi would be more worried about them never localizing shit outside japan instead, it already happened with their attempt to copy idolmaster and people had to fight them tooth and nail to localize choo choo motherfuckers
>>732359826I tried it and dropped it almost immediately because it just seemed like a shittier Ys.
>>732359795Why the fuck can't we have panties in Trails then?
>>732360175>literally filtered by actual good gamesyeah, we already knew that was the case, one of many of such, very sad
>>732352872That was added as early as Trails to Azure.
>>732355723You forgot to mention that, starting from CS3, you work directly under a badass mary sue noble leader, visit and ally with a bunch of lords and best girl is a high ranking noble herself. I somehow doubt Daybreak will have the same redemption arc, considering all immigrants are genuinely better people than Calvardians and can't ever do anything wrong.
>>732351339>Tokyo Xanadu was really goodno it wasn't.
>>732351339>Tokyo XanaduThe only game to ever bore me to sleep.
>>732359795Wait and see it censored in the us
>>732360324Sky SC remake is the only game without as far as I know.
>>732360867literally from the SC trailer
>>732360859?This isn’t 2016 anymore. Games no longer allowed to be censored regionally, because it is bad optics and also bad marketing. When they censor they censor it in every region, then say “see? The western version wasnt censored! Buy our product!”
New main girl is superior to Asuka.
>>732360859>in the usYou should be buying from a JP eshop account anyway so who cares? Same with the inevitable dogshit trannylation.
>>732361126From FC itself
>>732361295>>732361126Yes but Estelle has a black void under her skirt in the same trailer.
>>732351339>>732358713I really enjoyed both of them so more fun for me!
>>732361413She's not for lewd.
>>732361483It was decently fun to play but the story felt like the most generic LN throughout most of it.
>>732360175It has an interconnected map with shortcuts, if you like Dark Souls 1 you should give it another chance.
>>732351339Never played any of the Xanadus but this looks really good. Are the ogs like this?
>>732362421The OG and Next are traditional dungeon crawlers. Tokyo Xanadu is a hodgepodge of the trends Falcom was riding on during the 2010s on top of the dungeon drawing, lite action RPG combat, dating sim elements, if theres anything Ill day about the latter is that its whelming, its OK. Falcom was taking risks with what they had and I guess theyre confident enough to make an actual sequel to it
>>732362421no, only the pseudo-xanadu, tokyo xanadu is like itit's really fucking ironic when hudson's fauxanadu is a million times more xanadu-like than falcom's own latest "xanadu"
>>732362810The grimdark Xanadu is also a spinoff of the original series. It only had two direct sequels. Tokyo Xanadu is "what if Cold Steel but with Ys gameplay".
I tried playing the PC engine games but man, the scrolling is so bad in that system. I can't stand it.
>>732361852It's basically your typical shonen anime plot with great soundtrack and decent gameplay, I really enjoyed it more than I expected back when I played it, god I really need to get back into the game and finish all achievements.The True ending from what I remembered was kind of an asspull but whatever
>>732364829>>It's basically your typical shonen anime plotshonen after the 00s are actual trash while this plot is actually acceptable
>>732364012"ys gameplay" isn't even ys gameplay, ys gameplay is bump combat, xanadu next was before ys 6
>>732353603Yes the classic Xanadu games have nothing to do with whatever the fuck Tokyo Xanadu was. They were games that spun off from the old Dragon Slayer games. I don't why some retards last thread were seething that I was rightfully only comparing this game to Tokyo Xanadu or the fact that TX was an obscure Vita game.
