>Occupy a country that's collapsing>Move strategically important military assets there to defend the country since they are literally incapable of defending themselves>WAAAAAH GIVE OUR SHITHOLE BACKWhat's the big deal, they should be thanking Erebonia
>>738156513trails of subhumans
True.Also, for me, it's Towa.
>>738156513Don't think too deeply about the writing of most trails games because you'll pull your hair out, any game after zero has dogshit writing and sky-zero didn't really have the best writing either.
boobs
Rean’s guilt would be more interesting if he actually killed anyone when he fought against Calvard or when he lost control on North Ambria. All those tanks and gunships he destroyed? Oh no casualties. The way they talked about the North Ambria incident it sounded like he went totally berserk except not really. What a copout.
>>738161306This is no different than how they scapegoated Ishmelga for almost the entire history of bad things in Erebonia and then had to toss in a fucking>Actually uh I guess humans had some blame tooas just a throw away line
>>738161306sorry, but trails does not commit to anything in it's writing
I played cold steel 1 and 2, dropped 3 midway. Where would be a good place for me to pick up the series? Just restart 3? I know how cuhrazy they get and I forgor a lot of it
>>738161601start with sky 1st remake
>>738161665I thought about that, but do I just go to 2 and 3 OG sky then? Because I'm not gonna wait for the remake
>>738161601>>738161716I'm replaying the series, just finished Cold Sneed 1 + 2Going to Crossbell now before 3/4/reverieThen probably start the og sky, then remake 1 by the time it's all done remake 2 should be out i guessProbably won't touch the Calvard trilogy again for a bit though
>>738161716sky 2nd drops in september this year so I'd say just be patient
>Still no western publisher for Kyoto Xanashit which is supposedly dropping in 2 monthsuhhhhhhhh??????
>>738161951is it any wonder when falcom has screwed over every single one of their publishers in the west?>xseed puts their heart and soul into localizing sky, to the point where one employee almost killed himself due to crunch>tell them to skip crossbell and go straight to cs since 'meh its not that important' and thereby ruining any chance of gaining momentum in the west since the timeline is all jumbled up>oops nvm its actually important>drops xseed after all that because nisa has bigger budgets>make them localize 8 games in short succession and they don't even sell that well besides cs 4 and calvard 1st>'oh you want to localize a game that already has a solid translation and will probably sell way better than the last 4 games we made you localize?, nah sorry were giving it to gungho'
>>738156513You should have known that the Trails series was going to be bullshit starting with Cold Steel when they decided to set the series in the big militarist empire that loves tanks, that's also the home of the Jaeger Corps (the big rival to the Bracers who are known for being more cutthroat and amoral) and went with the protagonists being fucking anime high school students.>But... uh... it's actually a prestigious military academy!That looks and functions exactly like an anime high school. In the magical tanks and Blackwater ninjas country.
I'm playing Sky FC remake as my first Trails (not counting Nayuta). Are these fucking difficulty spikes normal?
>>738162598the last boss in the first chapter of any of these games is a piece of shit because you have almost no arts or crafts to play around with, its the only difficulty spike in any of these games
>>738162598What difficulty are you playing on?
>>738162401>big militarist empire that loves tanksA Trails game where your party members are all part of the same tank crew would have been kino of the highest order
>>738162757Normal
>>738162918You're just bad.The original sky 3rd would probably rape your pathetic ass.
>>738161306>cuts your tank in half, safely removes you and your crew and gently places you on the outskirts of the battlefieldPsh, nothing personnel kid.
>>738163023I mean, I beat her eventually. Heard it's easier if you get Earth Wall, but I didn't have enough slots. Also fuck you, I start every Ys game on Hard.
>>738156513It makes them a target of other militaries. See: Dresden to see why it is a bad idea
I did not care for Class VII
I do not care for the ASO
Cold Steel 4 and Reverie were disastrous for the series.
>Playing through Zero>4-5 maps between cities instead of the usual 2-3Soulful game...
>>738164101Not 3? The one that introduced the curse being behind every bad thing in the series?
>>738158704What makes it bad writing? We see the exact same fucking thinking right now with Ukrainians fighting tooth and nail against Russian liberation.
>>738166227The cold steel games try to devalue the brutality of war both fucking times (CS2, and CS4) either by not showing the extent of damages and pussying out of death (CS2) or having a copout plot device like "Erebonia is cursed" to mitigate responsibility (CS4)No I don't care if there's some tone they're trying to set here, you can't have your cake and eat it too if you're gonna be a pussy about war in 2 different instances.
Ramifications of cs4/reverie asidethis is where falcooom truly shat the bed
>>738162598Yeah the prologue is actually kind of ha—>>738162918>NormalNvm you're just retarded.I beat the entire game NG on Nightmare.
>>738156513I do like the underlying idea that as much as Juna is a main character, she's a bit of a Crossbell sheep, someone who hasn't matured enough to understand the depth of what's happening. Only that Crossbell as a state has an immense amount of public pride under the idea that "we've survived multiple annexes over the years and we are a major hub in the world" when actually it's "Crossbell is in a really messed up situation, being sandwiched between 2 major powers constantly warring over who gets us"She's also suffering some measure of political upheaval, both geographically being forced to enroll in the country that annexed hers, and especially surrounding Rean, her being forced to learn under the guy who was an essential role in Crossbell being annexed. Hits her even worse when Rean hates himself as well. It's an endless pit of "Where do I vent my anger now!?"
>>738156513Does anything ever happen in these games or are they just research project for nips to see how many anime stereotypes they can fit into their series?
>>738168060>Does anything ever happen in these games11 games after sky 2nd and Ouroboros is a joke so no nothing fucking happens, and when something does happen its the worst written garbage ever.>they just research project for nips to see how many anime stereotypes they can fit into their series?Yeah that just sums up the series even now.
>>738162598It's literally just Josette. No other boss comes close in difficulty, including the bosses that WERE intentionally hard in the original.
>>738163084Haha, that's our Rean
>>738156513Americans cant understand this scene because they've never been colonized
>>738163084would become a 10/10 game instantly if they actually showed this happening.
