Cold Steel was good
>>487312574
Dieter and Ian (the clown with the beard) killed Guy and Pater-Mater, and now everyone pretends they're OK guys.Pater-Mater is a robot who acquired a human heart and pushed Renne into Estelle's arms. He died protecting them.
>>487312574hahahahalollmao
>>487312659Still better than any Tales or FF game made in the last 20 years.
>>487312574My brother.
>>487312890CS1-2 was the best era of Trails music, cope and seethe
>>487312809
>>487312890Strepioso Fight is the worst Kiseki battle theme.
>>487309645When the Weissman fight transitions to phase 3, it becomes pretty clear that he doesn’t have full control over the Aureole. It might even be fighting against him in that scene, because he goes strangely silent after asking what it’s doing. Whereas Joachim seems to have full control of his demonic form. That said, it might just be the characters speaking in hyperbole. There are a few pieces of dialogue at the end of Azure that are 100% hyperbole (on the part of the localizers, as the JP doesn’t have the same implications).
>>487312809>TalesSymphoniaAbyssDestiny PS2VesperiaXillia 1&2 are better>FFVII Remake and RebirthXVI are better
>>487312890I am just glad that the reign on the violin guy seems to be over now.
Female Student.
>>487313441Exactly, looks like my point still stands.
Haven't played other JRPGs, btw.
>>487313441You know you've lost the plot if you're trying to argue FFXVI was a good game.
>>487313794It doesn't since the games I listed came out within the last 20 years and they are better games than Cold Shit.
My dude, if you walk around in hot pants and thigh high boots, you don't have to be surprised about people asking if you are a girl.
>>487312371Will Sara end up all alone? Or she'll marry a fat alcoholic?
>>487314071You have shit taste anon. Fact is, trails series is the greatest creation in human history period.

soon
>>487313635PEASE tell me characters still have unique names in Cold Steel...Getting to know the NPCs is one of the highlights of Sky and Crossbell.
>>487314106In NISA's version it actually sounds like Van is mocking him given the context. Imagine thinking you look boyish enough and some old man asks you "what pronouns do you go by?" kek.
we will get info in about 24 hours, possibly less.
>>487314396Yes, of course. There are just also filler npcs.
>Haven't played other JRPGs, btw.
>>487314570Lloyshua...
>>487314040Cope. It's a good game. Best mainline FF since IX.>>487314273Cold Shit is not great and the entire is at best a 6/10Sky is 9/10Crossbell an 8/10Calvard could end up being an 8 or a 7 depending on Kai
>>487312574Haha... Yes...
2023 game, btw.
>>487314697FFXVI is a bad game for one simple fact.It is a copy and paste of Game of Thrones.
>>487314396Cold Steel has a lot of named NPCs, a lot of uniquely modelled NPCs especially.
>graphics brownoid is also the square enix and bamco shilllol
>actual cock polishing competitionL O L @ G A Y B R E A K
>>487314896N64... home.
>>487315414You telling me you never polished your bro's cock?
>>487315498No, that's gay.
>>487313481Na-chan is the best!
>>487312890Should be left: Sky-CS2 right: After CS2
>>487315571It's never gay to polish your bro's cock. Someone should show you how to do it.
>>487315883
>>487314896It's a switch screenshot no wonder it looks like dogshit
Chapter 8 of Sky SC is nasty wtf mandatory accessories that you lose as you progress in order to use the battle system
>>487316047Haha, yeah, that's definitely why it looks bad...
>>487315156t. Didn't play it
>>487315982Open up, bro.
>>487316143Holy filtered.
>>487316143SC is one big tedious game. At the very least, after SC you've played the most tedious game in the franchise.
Will Shizuna get a new character art in Kai?
I like violins.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8CXaX1m-M
>>487312371Hot take. I like Sara's original design more than the CS3 design.
>>487316365Actually I did, I have finished every single mainline FF series game. None of them are better than any Trails games.
>>487315212>implying only CS I and II are ugly looking games.As a whole the series looks good enough and muh graphics have little bearing in my enjoyment of these games. I just think CS is a particularly low point in the overall great series that is Kiseki. Overall I like more, A LOT MORE, than Tales and more than FF. But CS is a really, really low point.If this opinion bothers you, you need to grow up.
Today, I will remind them.
>>487317109The worst FF is better than the best Trails.
>>487317260It's a good thing we found out that CS4 sold 1.2 million copies.
>>487317109Yeah okay bro
Church game when?
>>487317458It's a bad thing your brain still doesn't work.
>>487316948Shizuna has been a boring character so far, the only reason why people like her is because her design and her mannerism can be cute I guess. Kuro 2 as with many characters doesn't really do anything with her though. After the whole Heiyue thing she has no reason to be in the rest of the game.
>>487317554What's wrong, bro? If CS4 sold 1.2 million copies that much mean that CS1 and CS2 sold like 3 million copies each based on the first week sales.
How does Falcom come up with a character name like McBurn and think it's a good name?
>the higher ups of the septian church decide to execute every single member of ouroboros for their actions>every current enforcer and anguis gets offedwould there be any backlash in zemuria if this happened?
>>487317260According to Kusoeaters, this means Crossbell was the best arc by a mile and that Kuro 1 was very mediocre since it had the smallest bump between any Game 1 and Game 2.
>>487318020Crossbell is the best arc.
>>487318020>Kuro 1 was very mediocreThat do be true doe.
>>487317506It's not going to happen now they're going full Church bad.
>>487318218Welp that's one cliched JRPG trope fulfilled
I realized something>defending Almata as villains>liking Nadia>liking ShizunaA lot of people claim they want interesting characters, especially when shitting on CS, but really all they want is someone to mug for the camera and chew the scenery and they will defend that character.
>>487318119still better than cold shit doe.
>>487318602>>defending Almata as villainsthey're far more entertaining than cold shit villains doe.>>liking Nadianever liked her>>liking Shizunashe has a very cute moe/battle freak gap, and a great dynamic with Van, Kai will explore her backstory and she'll turn out to be a great mother.
>>487318602At least Nadia had some developments but Shizuna is the one that confuses me. I get it she's cute and all but her personality has been one dimensional so far. Then again Kuro 2 could use it's long ass play time to develop her more but we know already that Kuro 2 essentially ruined the Calvard arc.
>>487318602everyone loves na-chan
>>487318991>far more entertainingTranslation:>mug for the camera and chew the scenery
>>487318602Not true doe bro. Kuro has no sick beats.
>>487319159whatever you want to believe
Shizuna's dick crushing hips...
>/fg/ surprised everyone doesn't like the 3rdYou know some people dislike dungeon crawlers, right?
>>487318000Nuclear explosion in the middle of Arteria courtesy of Novartis.
>>487319592Yeah, CS5 is total ass. Even more so than CS3 and 4.
>>487318000Depends on the member For Lucrezia and Harwood, I'm sure Sharon would be upset. For Bleublanc, I'm sure Olivert and maybe some of the Liberl crew would be upset. For Luciola, Schera would definitely be upset along with Estelle and some others.For Walter, Zin and Kilika would be upset and Van lowkey For Shirley, Randy, Sigmund and the rest of the Red Constellation would be upset and I'm sure even Rixia and SSS wouldn't be too happy.For Cedric, you'd have the Imperial Family, Kurt, Franz, Ada and members of Class VII who'd be upset.For Ixs and Jolda, probably only like certain members of the Arkride Solutions Office would be upset I guess.For Vita, Emma, Roselia and members of Class VII would be upset.For Mariabell, Elie and the SSS would be upset.For Novartis, McBurn, Campanella and even the Grandmaster, not that many people would care I think but I know Falcom would probably have some of the heroes be upset for them anyways.In other words, the Septian Church executing Ouroboros would unironically bring a number of groups to be hostile with them even though Ouroboros deserves to be wiped off the map.
cute and canon
>>487318000Meh it'd just further sustain why the church is almost always the true bad guy in jprgs. Kuro 1 and 2 kinda showed this - the two dominions were the big assholes, that Iscariot guy was an asshole, and Nina-totally-not-the-final-boss is kinda on the verge of being a dick.
>>487320439such a predictable and boring twist
>>487320619Kuro really has done incredible damage to Kiseki
>>487320917The damage was mostly started from Sen but Kuro definitely went harder with it.
>>487320917this, but cold shit
>>487321061this, but Kuso
>>487321184>no upathetic
>>487315414Stop posting lies
pick one
>>487321498Anies!
>>487312890Cold Steel I and II have the best music
>>487320334>For Bleublanc, I'm sure Olivert and maybe some of the Liberl crew would be upset.The Liberal party walked over the still warm corpses of 30 Grancel policemen where were massacred by Bleublanc/Renne/Walter/Luciola.Fuck Renne. The Angel of Slaughter should have been executed for her crimes.>>487320334>Rixiais a murderer for hire and should be hanged
>>487321697>walked over the still warm corpses of 30 Grancel policemen where were massacredJust knocked out.
>>487321659it's good, but I like 3rd the most, CS 1 and 2 had a lot of variety in composers
I love my husbando

>mfw my post gets a funny joshua greentext
>>487321419Cope.
>>487322184Do some women actually found Weissmann attractive?
>>487322437That's not what that means, you fool
>>487316047Face it, Falcom should've been on board of the Switch since Day 1. You retards can argue all day long "Cold Steel killed the series! NO! Kuro killed the series!" But the real factor that caused the steep drop was the fact that Kondo is too much of a stubborn Sony bootlicker when Playstation is a dead fucking brand in Japan. Even Cold Steel 3's drop in sales was precisely because they didn't have a handheld version(albeit understandable since Vita was actively holding them back). If Kondo had been all-in on the Switch from day 1 and actively tried courting the Nintendo audience instead of throwing them late-port scraps, they would have had the time to build up a sizable fanbase on the Switch Kuro I and II could easily have hit pre-CS3 ballpark numbers.
>>487322773The Vita never held Falcom back, thoughbeit.
>>487322727Yeah, totally not. The guy talking about cocks all the time and about getting other men hard is definitely not having a wank-off in the sauna. RETARD.
>>487322773I agree that Playstation is a dead brand in Japan. Hell I might even argue that Steam is more relevant platform than Playstation in Japan. They have to do something with the engine though. It requires PH3 months of engineering to optimize that shit and falcom need a very optimized engine for games to look decently good on the switch.
>>487314106He's just a very sexy boy.
>>487322621Yes. He has a very sexy design + evil, what’s there not to be attracted to? Also I’m not the only one, most of the art I post was from a deranged weissmann stan kek
>>487323253It's the classic test of endurance to see who can stay in the sauna the longest. Stop being silly
>>487323881Absolutely nothing. There's 10+ lines suggesting it's a cock mashing contest.
>>487314106Just let boys look cute, falcoms fault for trannifying everything
>>487321257That's literally what you did lmao
>>487323147Holy shit that's how Ys 8 looks on the Vita? The PS4 and PC versions fucking saved this game. I argue though that the Vita absolutely hold back Ys 8 by how small the individual playable section is because of the Vita's RAM deficiencies. Remember the very first part of the game (Sunshine Coastline GOAT) where you can see another part of the beach but you have to go through a small loading screen like it's half-life 2 in 2004 while if they designed the game for the PS4 they could've load the whole area and more at once.
>>487322773Shitcher don't give a fuck about this series.
>>487322773>>487323420Yeah 2 more weeks till Japan gives up on the PS5 right?PC gaming is still niche in Japan, and no, their mistake was never putting the trails games on console till CS.Being PSP/PC only in Japan in 2004 means their games are basically doujinshi tier
Is it true that Durante's patch for Kuro 1 was released way earlier than NISA translation? Really want to jump straight into Kuro 2, but heard many bad things about CLE ports and kinda hesitant to play Kiseki without Turbo mode.
>>487323981No there isn't. Stop typing nonsense
>>487325086It's fine and it has turbo. Falcom has been adding turbo themselves for a while since Durante's turbo mode always destroyed the game and added a million bugs
>>487325108>flamboyant bisexual man who talks about cocks and hanging with his cock out with the boys definitely didn't start a cock rubbing contest in the sauna that made the girls wonder what was going on in the other roomlol lmao
>>487323147Part of the reason why Cold Steel arc is the because of
>>487324218It doesn't look that bad. I wonder if that one big part of CS1 had a bunch of loading screens. It's been a while.
>>487325252Oh, that changes everything then.Do you happen to know if I can transfer my saves from NISA port to CLE?
>>487325086Falcom include turbo/high speed mode in their versions of the game now, so you don't have to worry about that. If it's anything like Kuro 1 after they added turbo you have a customisable turbo that goes like 2x speed on the field and 4x on turn based at max settings.But Kuro 2 was the first game for a while done without Zerofield or Geofront so it's just MTL and taking translations from a Youtuber's live translation of the game, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.
>>487325380What the FUCK are you saying
>>487325530I think there technically is a way but it sounded really complicated and not worth it
>>487325445Nord? I don't remember it having any additional loading screens.
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/120763600
>>487325445This is PS5, forgot to change the filename.>>487325889That's neat, probaly because it didn't have a lot going on visually.
>>487325683I'll take anything over filtered NISA crap. At least I know it's a genuine mistake and not someone writing their fanfics. Plus I'm planning on replaying the series eventually in Japanese either way.
>>487326393NISAsissies... We'll never recover...
Vita... Home...
>>487325275It's the classic test of endurance to see who can stay in the sauna the longest
Rean is a big boy
>>487328107Haha, he sure is.
>>487327845It's the classic masturbation contest.
>>487328917KIIIINOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!That's from Trails the 3rd.
>>487312654biggest gripe with Kiseki is how easy villains get off with their crimes but what's the worst offender of this trope? Crow takes the take for me and I honest to god have no idea how they'd even make up for it considering the others had a pretty good ground to stand on
what would joshy do if he walked into his bedroom with estelle nude on his bed and with her legs spread
>>487317558Whatever you want to believe
>>487321498I pick all of them.
the lower graphics of coldsteel 1 looked way better than any of the subsequent graphic updates
>>487331595My brother.
>>487331595It had it's problems.
>>487333130such as?
>>487333754How pixelated the scaffolding is. Also poor lighting.
Elaine bros... this is not the connect event I wanted...
>>487334034>Elaine marries a generic ass NPCElainebros?????
>>487334168Ban isn't an NPC...
Why would I ever use any version of Mare other than chaos? This one turns Van into a god.
>>487334034Vancucks... Elaine will show us pictures of the wedding night, right? I'm sure our boy can call in a favor with Rene...
>>487330887Phantom Raid>"I will... run no more"
>>487334304Ban will marry Anies by presidential order of Gramheart. He'll pay out for an exotic sweet bar for the reception.
>>487334369I use Law for the regen and tanking
>>487334670gay
>>487334260Na-chan is so cute
>>487333130>pixelsI can count the SOUL
Harwood is the only character with genuinely good voice acting in the English dub
the best outcome for Van at this point is to fuck off to the far east and breed with Shizuna
>>487334260Cute! One good thing Kuro II gave us is seeing Swin and Nadia interact and form real bonds with people outside the Picnic group.My prediction to the upcoming news. Featured characters:>Hermes (Copium)>Shizuna>Kurogane>Yun Ka Fai>Ixs and Jolda> Vtuber gyaruThey'll also showcase the capital of Elsaim, Ludos, and the capital of Ored's capital, L'avance.If Hermes is revealed, maybe the gameplay feature they showcase this time are the mecha battles, and share some key aspects of it.
>>487335243t. ShizunaVan's super sniffer belongs to Renne
>>487335625betting on Kloe, Ellie and a (political) rep for Erebonia. not playable but most definitely an appearance because this is as major as the Trade Conference
>>487335625That's a good point, actually. Now that I think about it, Swin and Nadia didn't really get much of an opportunity to socialize outside of their very small group in Reverie.
>>487330887
Threadly reminder these two will be the only characters that matter in Kai
>>487334770Chaos mare is way too good because Van can easily end boss fights in 2 scraft spams. The only time I had a hard time was in kuro 2 when Van wasn't in the party, gameplay wise Van is the most broken protagonist because of his high defense, agro craft and insane amount of damage he can deal with the right build.
>>487335625>>487336878
>>487334304No but his fans are>ba dum tsh
Estellefags = tranniesLloydfags = ?Kevinfags = weirdosReanfags = 3rd worldersVanfags = NPCs
Why did they opt for the "we have Olivert at home" angle for Sherid? They could have just made him his own character.
>>487341338It's baffling. They KNOW he's a shitty ripoff yet they still made that his whole character with nothing else going for him.
>>487341240Fat.
>>487341338i mean people do have idols who serve as a role models for others, in Sherid's case Van even pointed out that he should look for his own way or he'll be treated as Olivert's cheap knock off.
>>487337936I like Law because even if one of those retarded moments happen and a boss double S crafts me ,he can still survive just fine. But I might give Chaos a try
>>487341468I think the thing that bugs me is that there's nothing to it. His involvement is surface level and when you meet him you already know he's a prince, so pretty much everything about him is out on the table. They could have made his character ANY way they wanted. With Olivert, particularly in Sky, he acted the way he did to divert suspicions. By making himself out to be this affable buffoon, he made sure almost no one caught on to what he was doing when he ended up playing a huge role in the story. I mean, I GUESS Sherid could still have something going on, but we already know he's a prince of a country, so who even cares? His whole appearance in chapter 3 has boiled down to playing the goofball and then just starting shit with Van for no real reason before saying "it was just a prank" and then fucking off. Though this whole chapter has been pretty baffling honestly. So much retreaded ground it's crazy.
>>487342117>Though this whole chapter has been pretty baffling honestly. So much retreaded ground it's crazy.From Chapter 3 onwards Kuro starts to get a little weak.
>>487341240You don't even know what "NPC" means, retard. Rean is the obvious choice for the NPC label since he's the most popular and Reanfags always short circuit whenever he gets criticized, Van should be marked as "contrarians". Nobody gives a shit about Lloyd so just leave that blank.
Now that the dust has settled was Daybreak a success?
>>487342843I was hooked at the start Van is immediately likeable and the whole seasoned detective and naive young girl dynamic was really good in the prologue but after that that aspect of it falls off then it just becomes more of a standard JRPG. I wish they leaned more into the investigative and conspiratorial aspect instead of immediately going into demons and continent shattering events.
>>487343538>CS1 77>CS2 80How
>>487342843I'm still enjoying it for the most part, but this chapter is kind of a slog in particular since it's just redoing a bunch of plot points the series has literally already done. Especially the mask thing which was only one game prior.
>>487343669They should be rated higher, I know.
>>487343614>then it just becomes more of a standard JRPG.this always happens with falcom for methey do something that starts out interesting and you think they're gonna break the mold and then you play a bit longer and it just turns into generic shitys 8 was the worst at that for me
>>487341240>>487341790
Peak Falcomthis radiates SOVL
>>487343924It baffles me that not only critics, but others as well also rate CS1/2 lower than 3/4. I think only famitsu rated cs1 pretty high and Kuro 1 is the only game since cs1 that got the same score.
>>487344192why is it always the lloydfags kek
>>487344332he looks like the guy from the big bang theory
>>487344192>>487344332
>>487344192>>487344625Confident, having fun with friends and living their best lives enjoying their fandomMeanwhile, on /fg/, a bunch of friendless, joyless losers bitching, screeching and doom posting about a series they claim to hate, yet can't help but play. Pathetic.
>>487343614I think Kuro has a strong start, but just kind of runs out of steam and goes back to your typical Kisekisms before long. It's a shame with Kuro, a lot of the ingredients are there for a great entry but it just doesn't last.LGC is nice in theory but I can't remember any time it had any real effect on the game. Endgame spoilers. Even if you choose to kill or spare the Almata members in Chapter 5 they all pretty much have the exact same dialogue except from minor differences in the final dungeon. After going through killing them all in my first playthrough and sparing them while blitzing through NG+ for the plat it was really disappointing to see that basically nothing changed.
>>487345584lgc would only be a good system if they put effort into it which falcom clearly aren't going to do
>>487345368I love Kiseki
>>487345368I don't actually spend any of my time doom posting. I have niggling little critiques every now and then, but that's just because I want the best for the series. I still actively enjoy these games. I just want somewhere to talk about it with people sometimes, and this place is the least worst about getting a conversation going compared to the likes of the discord or subreddit.
soon...
>>487345368why did you exclude >>487344332?
>>487346010Haha, soon indeed...
>>487346170can't wait for this chink faggot who pollutes pixiv art with his shitty koikatsu garbage to kill himself once it's confirmed that Van can romance her.

>>487346901do western troons still treat her like she doesn't deserve happiness with a man she loves because of her past?
So the scene where it sems like Van, Feri and Bergard are about to fight(?) Kevin, Altina and someone else, I think that's also where both Aaron and Crow join up with those respective groups because it seems like both Aaron and Crow are in the same church building in those screenshots.
>>487347021this, /fg/ and discordfags will cry harder when theres no haremshit than reddit will if there is
Threadly reminder that these two cucking Rean will be the only thing that matters in Kai

>>487347197falcom loves to put "fight your friends" battles, so i guess it could happen. This shrine is definitely the place where everyone will meet up.
>>487347465Rean still has a bigger harem than anyone else in the series, it's okay, he can share a few.
>>487347654Would be Kino if Van could use coin bullet in his boss fight and force you to attack him.
>>487347676what a nice cuck
>>487347654>>487347671Yeah same building indeed. Aaron's even with Van, Feri and Bergard and no one else from that group while Crow is with Altina who was seen with Kevin.
>>487347021yea, Idk. I was already baited with "akshual" canon romance in Kuro, which turned into Elaine getting cucked and Van pulling Rean on Agnes. Playing through Kuro 2 atm and they literally did the same thing. Bait you with Elaine and then she fucks off into her corner for the rest of the game.
>>487347465>>487347918Baaaased
>>487346810BlackRock journalists giving good reviews to a BlackRock game full of BlackRock propaganda. It's like the meme of Obama giving a medal to himself.
>>487348034If I remember correctly they did say that all the groups would converge in Ored in the prologue when they revealed the game. Something about another singularity.
>>487347918>calls Rean a cuck>Posts fanfic about an actual cuck
>>487347918OH NO NO NO NO REANHERMANOS?!?!?!?
>>487348445I found it>While the whole world beholds the greatest project ever undertaken since the very dawn of history... Somewhere in the technological singularity that is the Autonomous State of Ored, forces all over the land including a young "Spriggan" are about to gather.
>>487348109Falcom was definitely not sure what to do with the romance, maybe they tried testing the ground with Elaine, but then changed their mind in Kuro 2? Either way, I think there's a high chance we'll either get a pick between Agnes and Elaine or pick your waifu shit, even in Agnes' profile it says: "Please, Van, don’t regret keeping the most important people of your life in your heart".
>>487348445I don't remember they said they'd all meet in the prologue but they did mention that Ored is where the paths meet up.>>487348626So nothing about the prologue
>>487348747It's worded like it happens early in the game and everythig they've showed off leads me to believe that this all happens in either the prologue or act one. They always show off the earliest stuff first.
>>487348034what if crow and aaron bumped into each other first before meeting up with their groups?
>>487348034Looks like Crow's in a hurry to leave. Wonder if he heard that Rufus was in town
>>487346512Koikatsufags are the ones who carry the r34/fanart for this shit series tho..."haha..."
>>487347154No, western troons think she doesn't deserve happiness because of a different reason.
>>487348692yeah i think when they made kuro 1 they were leaning towards a more canon romance but they wanted to test the waters so they also included agnes teasing and also subtle harem teasing to see how people felt about itit's very clear from recent interviews that falcom just do whatever they think is going to be the most popular and that's why they were so indecisive about it
Imagine, an alternate timeline where we actually got the Calvard that was foreshadowed in the previous arcs.
>>487348980Ehhh that's not the case with all the games as I'm pretty sure we've seen some late game stuff in prior games' trailers early on.but i think the members of the solution office and class 7 will bump into each other earlier on as we see van(?) speaking with altina
>google kai no kiseki>see thishaha...
>>487349356>it's very clear from recent interviews that falcom just do whatever they think is going to be the most popular>Tfw it's nu-Persona's fault that we got haremshit in Trails
>>487348692I think the problem Falcom might be facing in that department is Elaine. After being constantly sidelined with Kai seeming to continue the trend if they had any plans for a canon romance with her they've probably been ruined.
>>487349537Bro that's Rean not Van
>>487349607You aren't fooling anyone Reantaco.
>>487349537pretty sure thats rean
>>487349790>>487349832this. van's not that short.
>>487349739The whole thing has just been a clusterfuck. They've very clearly set up that Van still has feelings for Elaine while he doesn't have romantic feelings for Agnes but they also sidelined Elaine completely two games in a row so they never really got the time together for their relationship to really reconnect on that level. Now if Van suddenly is in love with Agnes it's just going to feel forced. Their indecisiveness over the entire thing just ruined the potential of both canon and love triangle options. They should have just picked one and stuck with it.
>>487349607That's our Rean.
>>487350287That's our samefagging Reanbro.
>>487349832That is the gayest shit.
>>487349537>Ehhh that's not the case with all the games as I'm pretty sure we've seen some late game stuff in prior games' trailers early on.I went back and looked and indeed the very end of Hajimari's web cm had a small peek of the scene with Rean and Ishmelga Rean in their shared mindspace which is an end-game cutscen
>>487349328Hakuleg, yuutokagura, mussyu, these 3 mostly concentrate on kiseki hentai. There're also bunch of other koikatsufags, who make way better animated hentai than whatever that chink is doing.
it was over for elaine the moment she got ejected from the barrier at the end of kuro 1 twice
Why are Agnesfags so obsessed with Elaine?
>>487351020That barrier let Judith in. It clearly doesn't know what it is doing.
>>487351251Boring girls tend to attract the biggest schizos
>>487351251They feel threatened by Elaine because she's the one most likely to be canon(they already had a relationship and Kuro I/II have been laying the groundwork to rekindle their relationship) Sorry Agnesfags, but Van simply isn't a pedo like Rufus, he has no interest in underaged pussy
So Mariabell and Harwood will definitely get the rope from the Church right? Can't forget what they did back in Arteria.
>>487351859Harwood is on the <<list>> with McBurn and Campanella so he's fucked. Mariabell will get off with a slap on the wrist at most because it'd make poor Elie sad if her beloved Mariabell got what she deserves.
Risette got more skin contact with Ban than either cucknes or shitlaine.
>>487346512Rean route is going to be dealing with the Ikaruga plotline. I'd be surprised if Van even interacts with Shizuna in Kai.
>>487351859there is no way they will kill mariabell. if they do, elie and even the sss will retaliate and wazy will probably side with them over the church because "hurr they didn't need to kill mariabell and it was too cruel". and the sss turning against the church will have crossbell follow suit along with the sss' allies and their nations.
>>487351859Mariabell will get dindu'd and be redeemed. Harwood will just get imprisoned or some shit. The Church lost its edge and don't authorize saltings anymore
>>487352116There is no skin contact here. She is wearing protection. And those aren't even her arms.
>>487352021I wonder why Kevin and the other Dominions didn't act to off McBurn, Campanella and Harwood earlier then. But Mariabell absolutely needs to be on that list after what she did with Harwood back in Arteria. Elie's feelings for her should not excuse her actions.>>487352183Elie's love for her should not pardon Mariabell. What she did was the absolute worst crime to the Church. She needs to be on that <<list>> and if SSS were to act against them, then wipe them out.
>>487352230That is horseshit. Mariabell is guilty for the exact same crime as Harwood and with more malice than him.
>>487352021>The Church is deluded enough to think they can deal with McBurn and CampanellaLol. Lmao if they think sending in Kevin is gonna help deal with that kinda shit. They better get Ein's lazy ass if they want to deal with them for good.
>>487352475The answer is pretty simple. McBurn is too much for any of them individually. Ein being on par with Ariannrhod is their best shot if she were to attack him before he All of Me'd out but otherwise it would be a massive undertaking resulting in the death of many of them.
>>487352475>I wonder why Kevin and the other Dominions didn't act to off McBurn, Campanella and Harwood earlier thenmcburn's a monster and campanella is campanella. harwood also knows his way around the dark side of the world. >But Mariabell absolutely needs to be on that list after what she did with Harwood back in Arteria. Elie's feelings for her should not excuse her actions.i agree but the simple matter of the fact is that if they execute mariabell, elie will simply not do nothing. she's going to be very hostile with them and desire retribution. the rest of sss will obviously follow her and then it just becomes a conflict between them and the church.
famitsu leaks when
>>487352808Ein doing absolutely nothing for over a dozen games is honestly amazing. Even when Mariabell and Harwood attacked Arteria, she probably still did absolutely nothing.
>>487353006And if the SSS are involved then so will Class VII and the Sky group.
>>487353171and she'll do nothing for the rest of the series eitherthats our falcom...
>>487352993If Ein teamed up with all the Dominions to take on McBurn, I think they'd be able to defeat him even with his All of Me form.
>>487353279She's the Grand Master of the Gralsritter. There's some two sides of a coin thing going on there.
>>487353006>demand retribution for rightfully executing a dangerous criminal who even attacked their land
>>487353171Th lazy fuck is basically a NEET that schlicks to the thought of fucking fast arts guy all day while Thomas busts his ass to compensate.
>>487353250exactly. all those groups will come together to get revenge for mariabell.
>>487352021Does Campanella even exist within Zemuria?
>>487353529>toval and thomas go and bust their asses and break their backs>ein just sits at home doing fuck all while fufuing to herself >>487353468>both leaders of their groups>both do fucking nothing but let everyone else do their thing and then claim it's all part of their plan
>>487353171My favorite part is Ein being hyped up as the strongest Dominion and being one of the few people hyped up to be able to take Arianrhod 1v1, doing fuck all the entire series, but still managed to show up to Olivert and Schera's wedding for the fucking alcohol. Ein is a fucking lazy drunk
>>487353753The funny thing about Campanella is that he's actually a Br
>>487353753Fufu, wouldn't you like to know?
>>487353953All those times to show off her prowess and she just sits at home drinking herself under the table. Why can't the Papel Guard do something about this drunk whore already?>>487354073A-Anon???
>>487353731If they get Mariabell then Class VII will be worried about Vita, Doobie and Cedric. The Sky cast would jump into action in case the church's eyes turned to former members, plus they still have their ties to Ouroboros.
fire her already
>>487354481Celis the womanlet likes tall men
>>487354481Haha where are all the other dominions? i guess they were all just slightly off screen
>>487354481Why should they? Everything is going according to plan.
>>487354469>then Class VII will be worried about Vita, Doobie and Cedrici suppose that's true but if they continue to work for a shady organization that does awful things at times and threatens the church, then naturally they should be punished too. >ties to ouroboros funny how these protag groups are totally apprehensive over ouroboros and what they do but will go to defend their members getting their rightful punishments.
>>487354623Gaius is the only one that treats her respectfully so she can't resist doting on him.
>>487354469Has she ever done anything heinous that requires sanction?
>>487354664Oh fuck me. We already have Grandmaster for that shit and now we have Ein for that as well. Now we'll learn they were playing 4D chess with each other this whole time which is why those lazy bitches have done absolutely nothing throughout the series.
>>487354959She helps Ouroboros with their plans and was helping them with their Phantasmal Blaze plan until she found out about the Great Twilight ending the world. She's atleast better than both Vita and Cedric who both absolutely need to be hanged.
>>487354959Presumably the church would want to eradicate Ouroboros as a whole instead of just targeting a couple people.
>>487353731God just imagine the scenario where Falcom tries to justify an all out war against the Church over Mariabell getting punished for being a criminal.
>>487355184This. I think they would conclude the organization should no longer continue to exist as a whole and figure that they should all just be eliminated so their plans could no longer threaten the world.
>>487354967The pope will be the real fufuer.
So Kondo already confirmed that Kai will start with Van and co. getting their character arcs and backstories finished and the final chapter will be about the fate of the whole Zemuria. I guess Kondo did basically confirm that Kai is Kuro 3+Hajimari. Bergard is definitely will be the one who knock on Van's door and gralsritters will play a big role in the story. I really hope that Rean's involvement will be at the minimum, as he only needs to deal with Ka-fai and Shizuna's rematch.
>>487355309that scary part is that falcom could actually do this. tensions between the septian church and ouroboros continue to increase and it's only a matter of time before the church issues the orders to finally eliminate members of the society once and for all. starting with the ones already on their <<list>> like mcburn, campanella, harwood and likely mariabell.
>>487353372We don't really have a metric for the upper bounds of all of me McBurn he's compared to a unnatural disaster like the salt pale or heck the great twilight, Its not like Class VII beat him he regains his memories and fucks off because he has more important business.
>>487355395>haven't even seen the pope yet despite knowing he's existed since the the sora gamesunbelieveable
>>487355492>gralsritters will play a big role in the story>still have only seen kevin
>>487355750he's right there, sitting on the clock
>>487355748True. Even with all of Class 7, they didn't really defeat him but I think all the Dominions combined would bring about a greater power than those guys. Guess it just depends on what Ein could really do.
>>487312574>'x' releases >Is shit>Everyone agrees it's shit>Years pass>"Heh, actually 'x' was good" >Zoomers are retards who think 'contrarian = good' so everyone jumps onto the bandwagonIt's so tiresome.
>>487355925i hate this story
>>487312890I fucking hate Cold Steel but CS1 and 2 had good OSTs.Everything past Cold Steel 3 including Daybreak is just laughable though. 100% the biggest downgrade I've seen in any series.
>>487356202cs2 ost sucks besides like 2 songs
Every single person from this pic should be killed by the Church.
>>487356202cs1 i think is honestly the best soundtrack falcom ever made even if i'm not in love with the game itself
>>487355928Oh yeah the dominions would actually trounce Class VII.If McBurn is one of the demon lords who will end the world we know his skill set right all he has is conventional destructive power it can't be implied to be "ending the world" in a subversive sense like mass disorder with the curse it would be "McBurn could flatten the continent if he wanted to"
>>487355925Why is time evil and space good?
Chrono no kiseki
>>487356406Yeah which is why that I feel that if the Church all worked together against McBurn, they would have a shot against him I feel.
>>487344268Is CS3 the most "Nothing happens" game in the series? Literally nothing means shit until the last ~30 minutes.
>>487355492Based off what Falcom has shown up to this point, Rean really doesn't appear to be particularly relevant to the main story of Kai since Ka-Fai and Shizuna don't really have much to do with the Ouroboros plot, or the Genesis and the maskbots. It's possible that he's an Anguis but even then it seems more like he's focusing on Ikaruga and his pupils for the most part.
>>487356552because of common negative connotations with demons and positive connotations with angels
>>487356850No, that would be Kuro 2. At least something important happens in the last 30 minutes of CS3. Nothing impotant happens at all in Kuro 2 and it even ends on the same "we still don't know many things" speech that Kuro 1 does.
>>487350252>Now if Van suddenly is in love with Agnes it's just going to feel forced.As if Falcom care. They're the same people who wrote all the Cold Steel bond events which are literally 3 instances of "Ha ha just hanging out" then suddenly in the last event it swerves into romantic.
>>487355928>>487356406Is it a question of power, though? If I remember my shit right, they need a special sword to make scratching his full power form even possible.
>>487357005But why is time demons and space angels?
>>487356337what wrongs did cedric do to warrant the church's involvement?
>>487357108That's just one way that was presented to Class VII specifically in that situation. Doesn't mean it's the only means.
>>487357332it is simply their nature, from Zemurian frame of reference anyway
>>487320334Honestly none of these groups matter for the church. The SSS is ultimately a branch of the police so they can't do anything. The only one that would matter would be the Red Constellation declaring war against them right.
>>487349537Imagine being this retarded.That's Rean, lmao.
>>487357484Helping to nearly start a world war and destroy the world is a start. Sure he was influenced by the curse to a degree but the real him chose to still follow Osborne and help him with what he was doing in order to get stronger.
>>487357060idk, I think the build up between them was done fine. Van cares about Agnes a lot and it shows, but he never really showed any romantic feelings to anyone aside from Elaine and even then it feels more like him reminiscing about the past, rather than actually showing a desire to be together again.
>>487357892We already concluded that conversation like an hour ago, Reanbro. Eat your tamale.
>>487320334>Emma, RoseliaNo time to be upset when you are burning for being a heretic.
>>487357729Elie will not stay quiet if the Church kills Mariabell. Even if she's part of the police in Crossbell, her feelings for Mariabell will cloud her judgement and have her want to act against the Church. The SSS would likely support her.
>>487358098I wasn't here. Retard.
>>487358223Gaius will surely say something....
>>487358435Haha... the kaze smells off...
>>487358263Sure but at the end of the day the only way the ouroboros executions could have meaningful impact is if a real organization responded to the church right.If its just the SSS without support uh who cares.
>>487358263>finally win back muh independence >first act is....to demand retribution from the church for killing off the crossbell traitor if they do this, just nuke crossbell off the map.
Aaron talks about another "executor" while Crow says something about another knight of the church, like Gaius. Do you think these scenes take place in the same time?
>>487358595>seeing his classmate burning to death right in front of him>talks about muh wind just toss gaius in a box already
>>487357484Didn't use Ada's womb to further the imperial family line when he had the chance.
>>487358679I mean I'm sure the SSS's various allies will come to support them in their act against the Church. I don't think SSS would be alone here.>>487358793Well you see Mariabell was Elie's dear best friend and a good friend of SSS despite everything.
>>487358972I'm thinking so. Seems like it can't be a coincidence that Crow and Aaron are both talking in what seems to be the same location and both talking about members of Ouroboros and the Gralstritter. Unless Crow is just talking to Kevin or something?
>>487359050Ada’s womb is exclusively for Sidney
>>487359050Yeah. Cedric was stupid for that. Ada was clearly willing even when he was acting psycho.
>>487359050he can still do that
>>487358972It might be the very same scene. They spill the beans about Barkhorn being a Dominion, then Crow mentions Gaius. I wonder which Enforcer they're referring to, maybe the new slut.
Rean route is going to be kino.
>>487359870it's going to be the hajimari lloyd route of kai
>>487359812i get physically uncomfortable looking at those nails
>>487359812I think guys in the Dengaki stream was alluding to the same thing in that Aaron was probably talking about her.
>>487359336Kevin is probably with Rufus and Crow wouldn't want to show his face in the same place as him
>>487360056Kek, imagine if rean jobs to shizuna after 5 seconds he entered SU.
>>487360345You already said that earlier Reanbro.
I hate gralshitters because of that upitty red hair bitch and the edgelord teal hair tard
Shame we never got a god tier fist nigga just endless sword wank in CS.
>>487361047>finally get calvard arc, home of all these legendary martial arts styles>we get 1 guy who actually uses his fists and only at the very end of the first game and he's completely absent from the second and he's not even good in gameplay because his lines are shit so he can get any of the good shard skills
>>487356893If Rean is to Kai what the GM was to Reverie, it will be the most based thing Falcom has ever doneReankeks would SEETHE
>>487361210We've already seen more Rean in the promotional materials than the entirety of the GM's screentime in Reverie.
>>487361210i'd laugh so hard
>>487361183Cao's brother
>>487361347>We've already seen more Rean in the promotional materialsFalcom already spoiled his screentime...
i almost forgot that rufus was even in this game, i don't think they've shown him in any regular cutscene screenshot yet they've only shown him from behind off in the distance and during his s-craft
>>487361512Gouran is a menace.
>>487361183I wish Van was a pure kunlun fighter, look how many 8L1B katana faggots we have, we can't even have a proper fist fighter protagonist...
>>487361512OH N-
>>487361620He has some, but they haven't really shown him as much as Rean and Kevin. Rufus might actually be the one tagging along with Kevin instead of vice versa just to give Kevin a full party.
>>487361853What the fuck is this? The previous Taikun wasn't anywhere close to being this weak. He'd have ripped Gouran apart. Why is the current Taikun so weak compared to the previous one?
>>487361620He had some for his famitsu page, on su-chan's page, and is here too
>>487361853>>487361635'Lil Ronnie simply cannot compete with a Lee, regardless of whether it's Fen or Cao.
>>487361512As shit of a character he was, this was one of the coolest character intros in the series. Just him individually bodying every single solutions office member as they all attack him at once. They made this shitter look 100x more awesome than 99% of the bosses in this series.
>>487362079tbf almata did say the last taikun was a cut above the other taikuns. ronnie just isn't there yet.
>Children are quick to recognize lewdness
>>487362139man these picnic shitters have ruined rufus and have created a stain in this series.
>>487362159Cao is only acting this smug because Aaron has not embraced himself as Taikun. Once he does, both Cao and Fen's assholes will be ripped to shreds.
>>487362472At least post a different character instead of the faggot that single-handedly killed like 20 other characters and an entire arc.
>>487362354Agnes is already revealed to be a lewd dirty bitch so no surprise she rubbed off on Feri. Then you have Aaron and it's pretty much a wrap for Feri's innocence.
>>487362793I thought rean never killed anyone...
>>487362639ronnie will lose like he always does
>>487362798To make matters worse, Feri gets more acquainted with Renne during Kuro 2. Kasim and Hasan are going to freak once they find out about it.
>>487362472Reanbros are a bundle of irony.
Culo no Kiseki
>>487362139How is it possible for Na-chan to be this cute all the time?
>>487363010The Lee bloodline will die in Kai. Aaron/Taikun will finally get his revenge once and for all.
>>487362354>Sees three ripped dudes pinning a half naked woman to a wall>Gets embarrassedThat's hot.
>>487363065Yeah I think Hasan alone will be bad news but I think Kasim will be fishing for Spriggan food to chop off.
>>487363427since ronnie is the mascot of the arkride solutions office, it's only appropriate that he goes first.
>End of Act 3 Kai>Lil Ronnie has mastered his transformation into Taikun and goes all out on Cao>Cao temporarily kneels>"Heh... not bad. Guess I'll have to use more than 1% of my power after all...">Immediately unleashes his S-Craft and one hits Ronnie from full HP>"Cao-dono... I kneel and acknowledge you as lord of Heiyue and rightful owner of Ashen's pussy. You can even take me as a concubine and i'll wear the dress just please don't hurt me anymore..."
>>487363684This will NOT happen. I refuse to believe Cao has only been using a single percent of his power the entire time. That's insanity.
>>487363230It should be illegal to be this cute!
>>487363797fufufu...
>>487363684>>487363797Fufu... Cao is just too damn powerful.
>>487363993How much of Cao's plan have we been apart of this entire series thus far....? Has everything just been cogs in a machine? If it's really this bad, there's no reason to keep living.
I have no idea how to build anyone in kuro besides van as an eva tank and agnes as a healer. But combat is piss easy so far so does it really even matter?
>>487364331There are no "builds" in Kuro. You just get your melees to have executioner/burst gain and your mages to have ark feather. That's it.
>>487364321>How much of Cao's plan have we been apart of this entire series thus far....?>he actually doesn't knowthere is a good reason for why certain pieces have not been acting this entire time. even they understand that cao's bullshit is beyond aidios' understanding.
it feels like bosses in daybreak on nightmare have half the amount of hp they're supposed to have and they do 20% of the damage they're supposed to do
>>487364450Also some auto refill 10 CP/auto str/spd buff just so you don't keep recasting it after you S-Boost. Gaining S-Boosts is so easy in Kuro 1 and Kuro 2.
>Melchior starts monologuing >Judith jumps him>Everyone else follows suitSo many problems in these games would be solved if everyone just did this kinda thing.
>>487364450I like the idea of the shard skills but it's clear Falcom just didn't really test them or put anything beyond the barest amount of effort into them. There are only a handful worth using and the rest make a negligible difference so you end up using the same ones on everyone. There's a severe lack of variety and from what I remember they didn't add any new ones to Kuro 2 either. I'm honestly a little worried that they're not going to try to address any of these foundational issues with Kai, just slapping more pointless team up mechanics onto the system and going "eh good enough". They had 2 years to try to figure all of this out.
>>487359812Fuck everyone else, when the fuck are we finally gonna get some info on this sexy gyaru /vt/uber slut?
>>487361834Blame the japs they love that katana shit too much.
>>487367051ugly
>>487367051How big is too big?
it's kind of crazy how crazy how quickly shirley clung to cedric in cs4 despite having nothing to do with him in cs3.

>>487368628>holding it backWhy do Erebonians have so many constipation issues, do their diets lack fiber?
>That won't be necessary, Swin-kun
>>487369663Novartis doesn't fuck.
>>487369663i need more of this
>>487370036He probably would for science. Nothing stops him from doing anything in the name of science.
Ok kuro 2 is genuinely the most boring fucking game I've ever played. I'm trying so hard to get through it this time but 3 nights in a row I'm passing falling asleep while playing, 3-4 hours earlier than I usually sleepWhen does this shit get tolerable?
>>487372764haha
>>487372510why do you think we've been shitting on it since it came out?
If Kai is bad I'm just going to pretend Daybreak is a standalone and never play another Falcom shit again
>>487373445I know but anons have been shitting on a lot of trails games and I still enjoyed all of them. I'm barely into this piece of shit and just want to quit again, but muh sunk cost fallacy
>>487373806i don't think i've seen a single person defend kuro 2, the most it gets is "it wasn't that bad"
>>487373806Honestly just skip Kuro 2. The only thing you need to know is that they got the eighth genesis, there are two new Enforcers named Ixs and Jolda and Quatre has no gender because he was made by the DG cult to be a vessel for a god. That's it. You're ready for Kai now and you don't have to sit through the utterly retarded plot of Kuro 2.
>for this dungeon we will split up into team A and team Bwhy does falcom love doing this
>>487372510the start of it is fine you just sound like youre trying to fit in
>>487374112Honestly I think I will. I am worried about Kai though.. I think it might just be over, lads..
>>487373119Reanbros...
>>487373723i cant really get a sense of what kai is going to be like given how little theyve shown off but it feels like theyre leaning way too hard on the returning character hype which is a bad sign. it feels like they forgot that kai is also supposed to be a video game and not just cutscenes.after kuro 2 kai has to be an absolutely incredible game or i think i might just be done with this seriesthis really is their last chance
>>487374112This. Honestly what really important things did Kuro 2 even offer for the story? Like whoopdoo Ouroboros has new Enforcers. Who even cares about the Genesis shit at this point and everything else might as well just be non-canon.
>>487374581falcom had to release a game for the shareholders that year sir please understand
>>487374305I don't even have any specific complaints, but I've tried starting it 5 fucking times now. There's just something about the game that is offputting to me. At no other point in the series did I ever struggle to get into any of the games or get bored of any of themMaybe if I didn't hate the combat so goddamn much
>>487374710>release a game that made shareholders lose even more faith in Falcom
>In Daybreak II, we get to see their growth and how they can support Van rather than the opposite way around. Aside from that, we get to meet a new character who is another Grendel, like Van. The team felt that having a rival Grendel to van would be really cool. In terms of the story, in Daybreak I, the scenario writer led and directed everything. In Daybreak II, almost everyone on the team contributed something to make this game what it is and bring it to life.This is honestly the most damaging interview Kondo has ever given.
>>487375002I remember you retards trying to force how bad this was the other day and it was immediately forgotten kek
>>487375079>Kondo literally admitting that Kuro 2 had no direction is "forcing it"lol
>>487375002>absolutely no direction whatseover I can only assume the staff was more focused on Ys X than Kuro 2. That's the only thing that makes sense.
>>487375226is that supposed to excuse it or something lol
>>487375715I'm just trying to throw a bone here and partly coping.
>>487375002Everyone already knows Kuro 2 doesn't really move the plot forward, so I don't think it's that damaging.
Graffiti girl a CUTE
>>487375002nah the most damaging was when kondo admitted that the only reason they jumped the tech so fast in crossbell was because it was trendy at the time and the fact that half the staff knew it was a bad idea and they did it anywaythat knowledge honestly kind of ruins the series for me
>>487357108>Posting Millium nakedDude spoiler your image that's way too lewd
how many hours until the news drops
>>487378659The dominos are falling be patient
>Hey, you know all those new characters you had been raising up until now?>Fuck those guys. This is your party now.Uh, okay. Kind of annoying. How temporary are Fie and friends going to be? I'm sure they'll eventually come back, but I don't want to waste Septith opening their slots and shit if they're going to disappear as soon as the field trip ends.
So who can actually go toe to toe with Kasim? Even Shizuna thinks he's stronger. Maybe Arianrhod if she were still around?
Hey does van get an ogre mode later in the game? Im like on chapter 2 and im digging the crow vibes but he reaally needs a demon mode fr. Also the yeager girl is sooo cute, hope she interacts with my queen fie
>>487379242Not another word, you bum. Cold steel is an immaculate experience that perfectly integrates a cast of playable character incomparable to other jrpg trash and to answer your dumb question, its similar to cold steel 1 where you'd be forced to use certain characters to grasp their functions then gain freedom later on.
it's ogre...
>>487376481I dunno seems realistic to me. Go to europe and it looks like antiquated garbage, yet in America or japan its ultra modern.
>>487361635Gouran is fucking based. Him coming in looking like some generic NPC and being the coolest dude in the game was the funniest surprise imaginable.
>>487380380[will you bare the nightmare] was a really cold line....a cold steel line hehe
>>487380380why have they only shown off vans awakening
>>487380678falcom already showed rean's su in the second trailer, kevin's stigma is on the screenshot. webm is from the gameplay showcase from dengeki stream and it's the only proper gameplay showcase so far.
>>487375002Kondo is an infamously shit interviewer. Every interview just brings bad shit.>Joshua/Estelle romance 'embarrassing'>Admits Rean is his favorite character>Admits they just advance the technology for a poor grasp at more popularity.>Admits they just bring back characters based on popularity>Admits they mostly just made shit up for Kuro 2>Admits the company is pretty much bored of Trails and just is rushing to the end
>>487381862he switches up his favorite character pretty often but /fg/ only cares when he says rean because it gets upvotes
https://strawpoll.com/wAg3Qj5zKy8
>>487381862>Admits the company is pretty much bored of Trails and just is rushing to the endYeah I noticed this too. Way to really make me excited for the end of the series Kondo...
>"She presents as white"What has this series become.
What the fuck is her problem?
>>487382886why do we need another poll>The results from an older poll https://strawpoll.com/eNg6vRpdjgA
>Darn...looks like I'll have to resort to [epic badass power]>That won't be necessary>cue sword of biting galebravo capcom
>>487387079why do kiseki games feel so formulaic?
>>487375226Falcom almost always put priority on Ys before Kiseki as they should be.
>>487387339they should put effort into everything they make but they don't because they're a soulless shovelware company
>>487387339True. That's why they take longer working on Ys games while they mostly just shit out yearly Kiseki games which explains the low effort.Then you get other stuff like Xanadu every decade now.
>>487387531Kiseki is just the slop that they have to keep making yearly to keep the lights on while they work on their real passion which is Ys and I don't mind it because I like Ys.
>>487387283Haha....................
Famitsu news, Grim Garten (Black/Evil Garden).Märchen Garten have been taken over by Ouroboros.As you progress through it you'll learn things about Ouroboros and the world's past.http://ryokutya2089.com/archives/77712
>>487387816So it will have episodes?
>>487387956Sounds like it, but maybe it's a step in between the info dumps in Sky/crossbell and 3rd/Reverie's episodes.
>>487387956itll probably be more like cs2 where you beat those shrines and you get little lore flashbacks
>>487387816What a terrible way to disclose important revelations
>>487388145yeah honestly that sounds extremely lame and just something they do cause they dont want to put effortthe more i hear about kai the less enthused i amthis game just so fucking low effort
>You can view past events that occurred on the Zemurian continent using orbments obtained during the game. You can also findsuper important information related to the entire Kiseki series, such as the past of the characters and the truth about the continent.sounds more like star door / sealing stones
i feel like kondo being so open and honest with the press does more harm to falcom's PR than good
>>487388436Meanwhile I wonder what the next Ys and Xanadu will look like. Ys X improves 3D Ys combat greatly so we might see a game where falcom is not lazy.
Since you uses avatars to move spaces in Grim Garten, I wonder if it's from there these models come from.
>>487388726if they're gonna be this lazy with kiseki them im not gonna put any interest in their other franchisesrather just be done with em entirely
>>487388743>Took the idea of lobby models from ArcSys gamesSOULSOULSOUL
How come this gets a famitsu page but rean couldn't make it?
>>487387816I honestly do not care about Ouroboros anymore.
>>487388967Arcsissies...
samefagger, we know you're trying to shit up the thread with false information, but we ain't falling for it. President Kondo-A certain foreshadowing for the continent of Zemuria, which has been fore told since Cold Steel, will finally be told in this game.Grim Garten- The Marchen Garten has been hacked by Ouroboros and transformed into Grim Garten.Info about MTSC will be revealed as you progress through the garden.The orbments that can be obtained within the garden which it will allow you to view past events that occurred on the continent of Zemuria.The importance of the characters past along with the truth of the continent, and other information of great importance of the entire Trails series.
>>487389047No mentions of new characters for this week, wouldn't be surprised if Rean and Crow was in the magazine but the leaker didn't bother to write it out.It's old info after all.
>>487379242You only have to use them for the remainder of that chapter, but every chapter reintroduces members of OC7. One of the many amazing game design decisions CS3 makes.
>>487387816This honestly sounds pretty terrible. This feels like it's going to be a chore to go through.
>>487389160So it's just MTSC shit? That makes more sense. Revealing fundamental Ouroboros info through the Garten would be beyond retarded.
>>487388726Well we know the next Xanadu game will be in the same world as TX.
>>487389160>Info about MTSC will be revealed as you progress through the garden.結社の情報When was MTSC called society?
>>487389427In my headcanon
>>487387079I swear if they have a "that won't be necessary" with either Rean or some other Cold Steel character in Kai my sides will be gone. Even better if they play a remixed version of sword of biting gale, then my sides will really be leaving Zemuria
>>487389427https://x.com/Hansuke21/status/1815994325492249028
>>487389572Doesn't he play in Japanese, how can anyone not know 結社 is ouroboros.
I guess we'll get daydreams/doors on the creation of Ouroboros, the Grandmaster, the Great Collapse and shit like that.
>>487389643>Hansuke>Know Japanese
>>487389643I remember he kept calling bracers the ranger association or some shit a few years ago
>>487390006That's such a boring uninspired way of revealing the foundational mysteries of the series.
You'll get these guys as doors.
Low quality famitsuhttps://www.famitsu.com/article/202407/11666
>>487356027>x releases>nearly everyone agrees it's good>only a small handful of people think it's shit>"actually, everyone thinks it's shit"
We will get cutscenes of every enforcer/anguis admission into Ouroboros, starting from the newest and the last one will reveal how McBurn and Campanella were the first two to join Ouroboros.
>>487390365It'll be a backdoor pilot to an Ourosboros game bros...
the hat guy is playable
Last time on Dengeki stream they talked about wanting to maybe show some real gameplay next time instead of some clips, I guess the next Dengeki stream will be them playing some Grim Garten then.
How did this meme of South Americans loving Rean start?
>>487390556>Crow talking to Risette and MirabelGuess it's Marduk related business.
>>487390556at least it has a different aesthetic instead of being wholely reused from 2
>>487390556Cube gacha confirmed under the picture of alitina reading a book. That's the reward screen.>>487391047Crow is likely a weapons tester for MTSC similar to Van.
>>487390935Thing /fg/ hates + thing /fg/ hates = comedy
>>487390807Ouroboros has only been good in the Sky games.>>487390683Ouroboros has become pathetic as their newest members have shown.
>Hair in a bun with ribbonRUFINA?!?!?!?
>>487391131Will Crow ever do something original?
why does ouroboros hacking some stupid vr space give you info about their members and the history of ouroboros
>>487391131Looks like the Gacha is opening books instead.If so, thank god.Keep pressing X was killing me near the end. And it wasn't worth it.
>>487390556why do i feel like this garden is going to be utilized terribly
>>487390556sepia images1 is young novartis2 is current novartis3 is a woman meeting jorda maybe
>>487390917So who the fuck is he then?
>>487391245So you can feel sorry for them even though they haven't been remotely intimidating or villainous in ages.
>>487391276Couldn't 3 be Nina as a child?
>>487391164Actually i think that's the hat guy, he has a ribbon in his hair under the hat, looks like Jorda he's meeting.
Who's Jorda? Jordan?
>>487391391no i mean how does it workyou saw the doors in 3rd because the recluse cube read everyones memories but the garten is just a virtual reality game
>>487391131>Crow is likely a weapons tester for MTSC similar to Van.Well he did get his new saber from them so maybe. But I'd like to think it's something more than just that given his new occupation.
>>487391245Left over code from the hacking?Ouroboros using it as bait for you to come?
>>487391456you knew her as Jolda
>>487391456Van's wife Jolda
>>487391378Hat Guy's identity requires you to know of the Grandmaster's true identity.
>>487391396>>487391164nina's bangs match the girl pretty well, she also seems to have white/glowing eyes in the picture
>>487391518First V-tubing and now VR games. Ouroboros sure is threatening and serious about their big plans.
Young Novartis looks like a fucking nerd
the fact that hat guy seems to be playable significantly increases the odds of him being a S-Rank bracer or a new Dominion.
Crow is a lucky son of a bitch. First he has Towa riding his cock now he's having a threesome with Risette and Mirabel
>>487392036Nah, he will be your Game master.Ouroboros is running a VR D&D campaign.Remember, they are entertainers, not a terrorist organization.
>>487392036Not really given Jolda. Plus we've had playable Ouroboros members before.
I think it’s like Ys OriginGrim Garden is Darm TowerOuroboros is the DarlingsHat Guy is Toal
>>487391164The TRUTH revealed>1. Shota Novartis meeting Epstein >2. How Novartis joined Ouroboros>3. Rufina finding loli Nina and taking her into Church
>>487392180>Crow is a lucky son of a bitch. First he has Towa riding his cock now he's having a threesome with Risette and MirabelYeah. Crow is upgrading like crazy ever since he ditched Jurai and Erebonia. Marduk benefits are awesome.
>>487392036he is 100% ouroboros related based on the line he says in the webcm>後ろの正面だあれit is directly quoting the GM from the hajimari episode of the same name>https://youtu.be/IJWS3QKK5Go?si=r_3P_VgwDOI71eDS&t=63
>>487392257wouldn't surprise me if they pretty much rip off of ys origin here.
news when
>>487392442Oh so he's saying the exact same thing the GM is saying? Then he has to be someone close to her. Odds are. he's the First Anguis if he's with Ouroboros.
>>487392442That made him likely to be ouroboros, but it made it even more likely when he was featured together with the other ouroboros members in the mini ost video.
>>4873925682 weeks from now lol>>487392607Yeah. He's clearly with Ouroboros. As an Anguis.
page 72 to 75 is old information, has info on Rean, Crow, Altina, Fie and Towa which was revealed last week. only page 76 to 77 is new and has the grim garden shit. >we literally only have 2 pages of info this week
>>487392809prease understand
stop bullying falcom
>>487392809Joining the doomer anons in saying this is a very low effort from Falcom. Really, we're nearly in August and we've barely seen anything. So unless Falcom has taken a new strategy and not show everything before release, or it's getting a last minute delay(it won't), Kai seems doomed with they ain't showing much before releasing it.
Kai no Kiseki Farewell, o Falcom
We only got 4 more cycle of news before the game releases.7 aug - ouroboros?21 aug - tech guys?4 sept - misc chars?18 sept - OP will be released here probably
>>487393174No news x4
hermes when
>>487393519not playable
when will falcom break new ground with their animation
Kai feels like an afterthought.
>>487391131>Crow is likely a weapons tester for MTSC similar to Van.If that were the case, then Mirabel being there would be unnecessary. His contract probably has him helping with whatever Marduk needs him for like say stuff with their Garden stuff.
>>487389160So it's just 3rd?
>>487394419We've known that for a while. Kai is the cancelled Kuro 3 + the 3rd/Hajimari game they probably had planned afterwards combined into one. It's going to be a mess.
>>487390556Wait, is the Dengeki Agnes tapestry just her sprite? Is this some kind of joke? I don't think I've ever seen preorder bonuses from a Falcom game this lazy and low-effort. Even Kuro 1 and 2 had better stuff. They're not even trying anymore.
>>487394824yeah kai's LE is the worse i've ever seen from them
>>487394824>>487394557I'm presuming Falcom's trying to save most of their development funds and budget for TX2 which is why Kai feels so barebones in content, marketing and merch.
>>487394824Hajimari, Kuro, and Kuro 2 had the best preorders
>>487394921It's just a throwaway game, they'll let NISA actually market it since it's presumably coming sooner and they can focus on Sky remake + TX2
tokyo xanadu 2 will be the persona 6 killer
>>487395096Yeah wouldn't surprise me if that's their strategy here.
>>487395096that doesnt even make sense kek
We spent so much time invested in this series only for Falcom to completely stop caring at the end. Haha... I wish I never heard of Falcom or ever paid money for any of their games.
>>487391982if he's the first anguis, then am i to believe he's the one in charge of the proceedings of the eternal reoccurence plan?
you guys do realise that, even when kai comes out, the vast majority of us won't be able to play it, right?barely anyone here speaks japanese, and even some shitty mtl spreadsheet would take months at best.some what's with all the "news when" posts?it probably won't mean shit to you anyway
>>487395457i don't need to speak japanese to they're clearly putting 0 effort into the game
i know how to read kawaii neko n shit
>>487395457Not like most people ever play the games to begin with. We still have people regularly posting low quality prerelease screenshots and chinaman screenshots from CS3 and 4
>>487391047maybe crow got called to assist risette and mirabel
>>487395457I honestly don't care about Kai so it doesn't hurt me at all.
>>487395510dont need to learn japanese when they show Rene killing Elaine in front of Van to make him go beserk
>>487395598tbf most people wouldn't want to waste their money on these games.
>>487395598true. to be honest i dropped daybreak halfway into chapter 1.i'm just done with trails.daybreak's early game had some nice moments, but outside of that it was just the standard falcom formula, soulless and creatively bankrupt.and i also know daybreak will be even worse and go nowhere.i'll probably just watch the cutscenes from both and ask someone if any questions actually get answered in kai, then consider playing it only if it's really good in that regard.i wasted 5 years of my life on this series for literally nothing. i think we're all in that boat desu.
>>487395842Makes sense considering most people here can't even afford windows
>>487395639Yeah. Assist them in trying to take back the Garten that's been hijacked AGAIN. Which means Crow's gonna probably team up with the Solutions Office on behalf of Marduk.
>>487395941Yeah I'm honestly just burned with the series at this point. I'm looking forward to TX2 and seeing if Falcom actually tried there. If not, then I might just be done with Falcom games for good.
>>487395457i thought the play was to watch chinaman stream it and assume what the plot is based on vibes
tfw nobody herewa wants to engage with my samefagging haha...
>>487396105understandable. i think my watershed moment was reverie/hajimari, wherein i realised the extent of falcom's creativity and writing prowess (after 10 whole games) was "let's rehash the crossbell arc for the 3rd time, make the big plot point some ass-pull artificial intelligence, and make a second rean".and they fucked it so hard they had to write out the cover star.this is our reward for doing ten game.anyone who sticks around deserves the absolute garbage this shit series throw at them. falcom can do one thing well: cozy shit. other than that, they've been exposed.i'm ranting because i hate myself for not seeing it sooner lol
>>487374305The start of it is garbage too. The black pillar segment on Side B is absolutely painful
>>487383767>presents as whitewat
>>487333878Cute
Kiseki at least taught me the valuable lesson of never getting involved with another long running series ever again.
kiseki love
>>487383440i've never felt so betrayed by a developer/writer/creative before.it's one thing to commit to an ending and have it be shit; at least you tried.but kondo and falcom literally just padded this series out to make money off of people who were convinced it was all going somewhere and they just had to hang in there.and now, 13 games in, they're promising answers to questions that should've been answered a decade ago.i used to wonder how they got away with it, but then i discovered the subreddit, cyrus bright, weaponsci and saw the average player and how small their standards truly are.these people get excited over fucking trailers. it's over, bros. i hope they enjoy their slop.
kek i think kai is the most doomed game ive seennot even hajimari had this level of dooming and this was coming off of everybody hating cs4 and the legendary meltdowns people had
>>487397103>these people get excited over fucking trailerswow... that sounds horrible. sorry you had to see that anon. sounds like they didnt even include a trigger warning
The doomposting is only happening here. jp players seem to be really excited about everything Falcom is showing for Kai.
>>487397103Yeah I mean what was the point of making this series 20 years long if they're just going to give up now? I thought for so long it was just honest to god incompetence but they were really trying but everything I've seen from them lately makes me think this series was set up to just be a scam from the beginning. We sat through all of these padded games waiting for answers and it all leads to Kai, the most low effort, low interest game they've ever made. I wasted like a thousand hours of my life playing this fucking series lmao.
>>487397250yes everyone is well aware japs love to eat up slop
>>487397250It's just 2 anons samefagging the doomposting crap.
>>487397221i'm sorry, anonymous trails youtuber. you can go back to editing your slop now
>>487397129Every game gets doomposted on 4chan so it doesn't really mean much to me
>>487397250>jp players said Zero is amazing and Ao is literally Top3 JRPG of all time because it was just jp exclusive>they come out in english>mediocre as fucklollmao
Can we wait until the game is out until we have our melties?
>>487397334i feel the same, bro. i can only imagine how people who started with sky fc feel, and i only started with cs1 in 2019.if it helps, there are some great series out there still, and now we know the signs of a creatively barren series, so we can avoid it next time :)
>>487397540it's not simply the game we're moaning about, it's the fact that it even had to exist to answer the questions we've been asking for over 2 decades, and how we won't even get to play it in the world's most spoken language until long after its release
>>487397540What is there to be excited about? Honestly. I doom because I loved this series and it kills me to see Falcom just shit all over it.
>>487397250No one with a working brain is excited for a copy-paste of Kuro 2 featuring Rean. You're seeing the same kind of mental illness exhibited by the N*-chan faggot who has convinced himself Reverie, the Cold Steel 4 copy-paste, is anything but a piece of shit game because the picnic squad's in it.
i am going to grill some weiners now /fg/ wish me luck
>>487397798Yeah Reverie is great
>>487397481The fact that our "new" news is: >>487392809, should ring alarm bellsAs well as >>487393174, it being nearly August, if they have nothing to show, it means they are NOT very confident in this shit
>>487397948reverie was filler slop
>Blame Kuro flopping on CS>Blame Kuro 2 flopping on Ys X>Blame Kai flopping on TXlolalso lmao
>>487397948Reverie was Cold Steel 4 with the picnic squad. It was not a good game, just like 4.
i knew it was bad when they announced kai with in game cg instead of artwork like they always did before kuro 2
sky should have ended a sky 2cold steel should have ended at CS2kuro shoud have ended at kuro 1
>>487398036Yeah I loved the picnic squad. Such a good game
>>487398142So you're saying the only complete game in the entire series is Daybreak?
>>487398216Terrible characters in a terrible game. Cold Steel 5, sequel to Cold Steel 4.
>>487398237No he's saying that Kuro went to shit the fastest
>>487398237yea
Honestly after Kai they should just go straight into the finale and wrap it all up in 1 game. Given how utterly aborted the Calvard arc was I can't really see how you can get invested in another arc.
I would rather have doors with major reveals than exposition scenes in the mainstory where each member of the Spriggans and guests say their lines just to show they are present while the antagonists are rambling.
Oh no, not the woke SJW arc :(
>>487398606>say their lines just to show they are present while the antagonists are rambling.This is every Falcom game ever.
>>487398280I thought everyone liked them
>>487398820Haha, the only character people like is Rufus and they've liked him since CS1.
>>487398820Nadia is like pulling teeth and I will absolutely never understand why anyone would like anyone like that.She's not redeemed, she just pretends for Swin's sake, also she pulls the same 9000 IQ shit that Renne and Musse do but it's okay when she does it, I suppose.And the tryhard cutesy shit is just obnoxious.
>>487398820I did like them. Although, to be fair, I actually read Three and Nine before playing Reverie.
>>487312371What should I do if I want to play the cold steel line for the story and dont care for the gameplay? First game felt clunky as fuck to me
>>487399452watch it on youtube
>>487399452Why the FUCK would you ever play Cold Steel of all games for the story? Bro...
>>487399249Yeah the scene of her describing how she was gonna torture that guard was funny
>>487399452fast forward, cheats, youtube who knowsthe gameplay is at least fun in CS tho
>>487399684emma millstein is incredibly erotic, especially her Eng VA
>>487398820Nadia is annoying.Swin is boring.Lapis is also annoying, but slightly less than Nadia.Rufus had potential but they speedran his arc so his development doesn't feel earned.
>>487399783Nadia is as obnoxious and awful as Angelica. Swin may as well not even exist as a character and is another cardboard cutout. Lapis is just cunnybait they attached to Rufus for some reason, and Rufus was always one of the only good characters in the Corked Shart arc.
everyone from reverie's C route is shit
>>487399975Everything about Reverie is shit, just like everything about CS3 and 4 is shit.
>>487399684I player up until the brown guy's homeland and it felt pretty chill>>487399702>cheatsCouldnt find any good cheat tables for CE, nor make the cheats myself
>>487399695Nah, it was tryhard shit.
>>487400037I like Reverie's episodes.
>>487400103I thought it was one of the best parts of the game. Especially when Lapis started getting scared. Man, what a great game
>>487400248You're too easily impressed.
>>487400248You sound like a mind broken cultist.
Zero > CS1 > Kuro > FC
>>487400439I think Reverie healed me
>falcom time intensifies
>2 of 4 Kai MCs are CS charactersCS6?
KWAB
>>487400656what were you suffering from? good taste?
>>487400439>Doomposting fag who hasn't enjoyed the series in years and only knows how to call the games shit but still hangs around in a general for said series anyway>In charge of calling other people mind broken cultistsMaybe take a look in a mirror.
>>487402125The lack of picnics
>>487402273Shiterie is absolute dogshit and the picnic squad minus Rufus is absolutely abysmal. Meds, N*-chan faggot.
>>487402273Cold Steel fags hate Reverie. It's sad. All because Rean isn't the protagonist all of the time.
>>487402887Massive cope. Corked Shart is why the game is bad. The presence of your obsession doesn't make the game not a dumpster fire. Picnic squad fags are objectively the most mind obliterated people in this entire fandom, and likely in the JRPG community as a whole.
Nice thread. Would be a shame if something were to... Interrupt?*SNAP*
>>487403137>Picnic squad fags are objectively the most mind obliterated people in this entire fandom, and likely in the JRPG community as a whole.All 5 of them.
Reminder that mental illness is incredibly prevalent in the third world, especially in complete shitholes like Southeast Asia. Always remember this when you see the resident shitskin subhuman posting his garbage.
>>487403698Thank you for informing us. You could make it even easier to avoid these posts if you got a trip. It's free.
>>487403137Don't LARP, Reanbro.
So instead of doors/daydreams we'll get important information or flashbacks of the past events like in CS2 shrines in the Grim Garten?
>>487404147Reverie Cold Steel 5, by the way, and Cold Steel 5 is bad, just like Cold Steel 3 and 4. Your waifu obsession doesn't change what these games are.Bad.
Is this the general for discussing and sharing my enjoyment of falcom games?
>>487404373Blind fanboyism isn't allowed anywhere. You can't call one identical game bad and then go on to call another a masterpiece because it has sameface character with a different hairstyle that you like to stroke your micropenis to.
>>487404373Sometimes
Currently in chapter 3, does kuro have the "combine 3 pieces of mind 1 to create mind 2" mechanic just like in cold steel/crossbell games?Grinding for sepith sounds a pain in the ass.
>>487404454I think so, look for an exchange shops.
>>487404215Seems that way. That was okay in 3rd and Hajimari because it was all just character/background lore stuff but revealing all the Ouroboros stuff in such a disconnected way gives me really mixed feelings.
>>487404247Reverie is not a Cold Steel game, according to Falcom. That's actually why you shit on it. You shit on Reverie so much, but in your heart of hearts you desperately want people to consider it a Cold Steel game for the good rep it would bring to Cold Steel.
>>487404454i have never grinded for sepith in my fucking life
>>487404594They want to be done with this damn fairy tail. Please understand.
>>487404660Nope. It shit on it because it's a bad game. An exact replica of the other bad games, namely Cold Steel 3 and Cold Steel 4. You can't say that those games are completely abysmal and then call Reverie a masterpiece just because it has your precious N*-chan in it. You are certifiably insane, N*-chan faggot.
>>487404716CS3 and Kuro are the only games I've needed to grind money in. CS3 had you buy fishing parts, so I used the infinite mira trick to get them before the field study so that I wouldn't potentially miss a fish. Then Kuro makes it impossible to keep up with everything without light grinding for Sepith Mass in the early game because you need to buy pretty much everything for 100%.
>>487404824You shit on it because you love it. You want people to associate it with CS3/CS4 because you're a big Reanbro. That's your curse. The one "Cold Steel" game people love is not a Cold Steel game.
>>487405081Your gold medal in special mental olympics, saar. Your cope is that people who think Reverie is bad are Cold Steel faggots, when Reverie is an exact replica of 2 abysmal Cold Steel games. N*-chan faggot, you put this garbage game on a pedestal because your cardboard cutout sameface wife is in it and for no other reason. Acquire critical thinking skills.
reverie did reans arc better in 1 game than cold steel did in 4
All kiseki games are 10/10 but Reverie is the best game in Erebonian arc.
>>487405306Those 4 games are also bad, just like Reverie. You like it, despite being identical to Cold Steel 3 and 4, because N*-chan is in it, N*-chan faggot. That's the one and only reason. That makes you completely fucking insane on every possible level.
so what happened to all the old hand me down orbmentswhere are all the enigmas and arcus' now are they just all sitting drawers somewhere despite probably still being useful
WHERE'S BAN-SAMA
>>487405421let's analyse your definition of insanity. by the same token you could argue anons who posts in communities of games that they hate are insane.
>>487405490off having another melty because falcom can't help but repeat themselves
>>487405490mb he's with the other group, I guess it's true that Van will go all over the places and spriggans will split in 2 teams in some story segments.
>>487405538Three identical games. You consider two bad, and one good, despite the three of them being exacty replicas of one another. The one and only difference that makes you think one game is good is that your fictional girlfriend is in it. You are insane.
>>487405490Ditched his crew in favour of bromance with Onion.
Haha... this Grim Garten shit is going to be 80% of the game, isn't it?
>>487405490Van's ark-riding all over the place...
>>487405490He's spending a quality time with his daughter-wife.
>>487405278Reverie redeems Cold Steel despite not being a Cold Steel game and that infuriates you. You love what Reverie brought to the table, but you hate that it's not considered to be a Cold Steel game. It's okay Reanbro, let it all out.
>>487404594>All these games and no information on Ouroboros, fucking Falcom reeeee!!>Noooooo stop giving us information on Ouroboros, fucking Falcom reeeeee!!!!You faggots are impossible to please
>>487405776I want the information to be delivered in a narratively satisfying way, not just delegated to filler dungeon lore dumps.
>>487405490Fucking Judith senseless so they can create the next Grimcats.
>>487405763The only good games in the entire series are Sky, Crossbell and Daybreak. Everything else is a raging dumpster fire. Despite Reverie having two exact replicas titled Cold Steel 3 and Cold Steel 4, you have convinced yourself it's an absolute masterpiece because your fictional girlfriend and target of your absolutely insane obsession that you post about daily, is in it.That's what it comes down to. Your samefaced fictional wife. That's what makes the difference. The depths of your insanity.
I hope we get a bunch of doomsday cultists holding placards in Edith proclaiming the end of world, we need npcs for the doomsayers in here to self-insert as.
>>487405757i hate that vans model doesn't match his arthis hair in artwork is more bushy and thick but on his model is like a bunch of thin spiky needles
so why is quatre avoiding going with the boys in the bath house? also why is 'he' covering his chest? not suspicious....
>>487405490>We will take back our Van!Surely they won't do it again, we already had this in Kuro 1.
>>487405953Despite trying to put up a cold front against Cold Steel, I can tell that you love it. You have to pretend to hate Cold Steel in an attempt to get people to consider a non-Cold Steel game a Cold Steel game. You're an absolute tragic figure. Your love for Cold Steel is making you shit on the games you love. I pity you, Reanbro.
>>487406148I was kind of like him because I didn't want the other kids to bully me over my big cock.
>>487406226they already had him try to go off on his own again in kuro 2falcom just refuse to let characters actually keep their development
>>487406132at least Enami finally nailed his hair color, Kai's character art of Van looks way closer to his character model in-game than in the previous games.
>>487406280These look like 3 different guys lmao. Bravo Enami!
>>487406275yeah i really didn't like how falcom handled that scene in kuro 2, i guess they wanted us to tell that it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, so I hope he finally learned his lesson in kuro 2.
>>487406243Simple fact: Three identical games, you dislike two, and consider one a masterpiece. The one and only thing that separates them is the inclusion of your precious N*-chan. N*-chan faggot, you're the most insane person on this entire board.
>>487406280None of those look like Van's model.
>>487406457I bet angelica or claire is your favourite character
>>487406375the art from Kuro 2 and 3 looks pretty similar, it's kuro 1 that looks fucking weird, it's like he was trying a different style with it, so it looks kinda oily and uncanny
>>487406537Simple fact: Three identical games, you dislike two, and consider one a masterpiece. The one and only thing that separates them is the inclusion of your precious N*-chan.
>>487391158>Ouroboros has only been good in the Sky games.LOL Fuck no please drink bleach
>>487406575I'm not the anon you are talking to though moron.
>>487406671Simple fact. N*-chan is the one and only thing that makes schizzy enjoy only one of the three identical games. Schizzy is insane.
what will nisa localize saint of the end as
>>487406457The simple fact is that you love Cold Steel, and you love Reverie. But in your hubris you feel like you're forced to shit on the games you love with all your heart and soul. Listen Reanbro, it's fine. Say that you love Cold Steel, and you love Reverie.
Seems like you can access flashbacks through some machine in grim garten. Idk how I feel about it, on one hand it does help that we can get worthwhile rewards from clearing grim garten, on the other it feels like a cheap attempt to close some plot threads which should've been closed in the main story through normal exposition.
Reminder that Trails in the sky was never actually good and anyone who says it was is a turd sandwich and a feminist.
>>487406848Simple fact. You hate two of three identical games because N*-chan isn't in them. You have severe brainrot.
>>487406780Simple fact, you are bullying an anon on an internet board over the fact he likes Nadia. You are pathetic.
>>487406856Wait are they actually important info via this method?
>>487406928Simple fact. Three identical games, the one thing that makes him call two bad and one a masterpiece is the inclusion of his precious N*-chan. It's that simple. No amount of "bullying" is enough for people like this.
>>487406995See >>487404215it does look like they're important flashbacks, it seem like there'll be one about Nina and what looks like Rufina, Novartis and some kid who might be important.
kuro 2's plot might be kinda shit but it's crazy how much better the cutscene direction wasreplaying kuro 1 now that's called daybreak the cutscenes are all so flat that i feel like i'm playing cs3 again
>>487406918The simple fact is that you love Cold Steel. Let it all out, Reanbro.
>>487407317This is your coping mechanism. My stance is an objective one. Your one and only reason for liking only one of three identical games is the addition of N*-chan. This is why you go to war every time someone baits you with ED8-5. You're a living parody.
ban... I...
>>487407269>kuro 1 now that's called daybreak the cutscenes are all so flat that i feel like i'm playing cs3 againkuro 2 has more motion capture cutscenes and it looks like they also improved them a bit
>>487407447Let it all out.
>>487407269Daybreak could never have this level of kino.
So does Quatre having a crush on Agnes ever come up again? Obviously she has to be reserved as Van's cocksleeve, or waifufags would lose their minds, so nothing will ever happen... but is it just completely dropped after their initial interaction?
>>487407565I can simply direct you to one of the many posts pointing out your mental illness instead. ED8-5 is just as awful as ED8-3 and ED8-4, by the way. Kuso 2 is also an absolute fucking slog of a disaster. See >>487407447
>>487407614>So does Quatre having a crush on Agnes ever come up again?That was ESL MTL fanfiction.
>>487407614he is just a horny teenager. He had a crush on Risette too
>>487407606
>>487401852Oh that turn order display is helpful, they didn't have that in the CLE release, not even in Kuso 2
>>487407614>So does Quatre having a crush on Agnes ever come up againi never thought it was that important, quatre had a pretty sheltered life, so seeing a beautiful girl made him blush a bit, you can say he has a stonger crush on Van considering how many times he blushed for him
>>487407671ED8 =/= Cold SteelLet it all out Reanbro. We're here for you.
>>487407854honestly i hope they just port that straight into daybreak 2 its better than the retarded "solution" falcom came up with
>>487407914And yet Reverie is identical to two Cold Steel games, which you dislike, as opposed to Reverie, which you love, despite the only difference between them effectively being the addition of your precious N*-chan. Your mental illness is a great source of amusement, N*-chan faggot. You stopped talking about your dick after you got warned, I've noticed.
>>487407606haha... how the fuck did i sit through these games
>>487407606even cs1/2 looked better animation wise because it didn't have that fucking slow motion haha...
>>487408061Reanbro, just admit that you love Cold Steel. I won't make fun of you. Kiseki is all about forgiveness.
>>487407614It goes nowhere. Same as Feri's interest in him/her
>>487408221N*-chan faggot, you're severely mentally ill.
>>487407871I want to hug and princess carry quatre so much...
Quatre and Risette had the foundations for a good friendship but then it just goes nowhere after Chapter 4 of Kuro 1. It's like the writers just forget things as soon as the chapter is over.
>>487408297You're hurting. But it's time for you to be healed.
>>487408225because it was never important in the first place>Same as Feri's interest in him/herwho are you talking about?
>>487408369Simple fact: Three identical games, you dislike two, and consider one a masterpiece. The one and only thing that separates them is the inclusion of your precious N*-chan.
>>487408313Quatre is a trash character, so I'm glad he isn't polluting other cast members.
>>487408313because kuro 1 needed to move the plot, so they didn't have time to develop them and it would be fine if kuro 2 did it, but you know what happened there. At least in Kai their friendship seems to be important
>>487408413Simple fact: We're here for you.
>>487408556i want to give robowife a hug
>>487408634These three identical games? I dislike two of them but LOVE one of them. Why? N*-chan, of course! L O L @ ur mental illness
>>487408668Anon, you can let go of the pain.
>causes constant melties in /fg/ just by existing
>>487408556Why quatre is so fucking hot, i never wanted to kiss a boy this much as him.
I love Na-chan's pretty blue eyes! I just want to scoop them out and keep them with me...
>>487408936I'm simply being objective. Nadia has always been the root cause of all your /fg/ insanity. You've legitimately, unironically managed to convince yourself that a clone of Cold Steel 4 is actually good because it has the object of your obsession in it. That's sad. Legitimately.
>>487409042na(zi)-chan!
>>487409149>I'm simply being objective.You've been bullied by the people who love Reverie and hate Cold Steel. You're delusional. But it's time to let go.
>>487409284*does nothing 3 games in a row*
>>487409258Your insane campaign to convince yourself that Reverie isn't an ED8 game, and especially not ED8-5? All because of Nadia, unironically. All those months of shitposting about this subject? Firmly rooted in your insane obsession with this character. Holy fuck.
>>487409308Haha... you could say that about almost every Kuro character....
>>487409308fufu that's what he wants you to believe.
>>487409458shizuna got my dick hard 3 games in a row so thats something at least
>>487409351Anon... Only you are obsessed with ED8. It's time for you to accept the truth. Reverie is not Cold Steel 5. You love Reverie. You love CS1-CS4. You've been pretending to hate what you love.
>>487409458Shizuna makes my dick so hard, i guess that counts as doing something...
>>487409667i just said that you fucking asshole
>>487409613Your insanity. All for one character. What a sad existence.http://ryokutya2089.com/archives/77038Virtually every single schizo personality and shitposting melty in this general is associated with your brutal mental illness.
>>487409458Shizuna makes my dick hard, so at least she's done something.
>>487409783>>487409783
>>487409770Let me repeat the truths of this world to you. Reverie is not Cold Steel 5. You love Reverie. You love CS1-CS4. You've been pretending to hate what you love. It's hard, but let go of the pain.
>>487409903Kondo disagrees in an interview from June. ED8-5, N*-chan faggot. Always remember that you are severely, brutally mentally ill and that everything you do stems from this mental illness. Your obsession with Nadia causes you to forgo critical thinking entirely. You're a sad, sad existence, and I pity you, sincerely.
>>487409990Accept the truth anon. Before it's too late.
>>487410174The truth is you like only one of three identical games because Nadia is in it. Sole deciding factor that separates good from bad. Such is your disease.
