Imagine the wind arts she can let out
>>560330342Legit dunno how Rean hasn’t filled up Alisa “void” with his “tachi” if you know what I mean.
>>560329967Imagine how Falcom went to these vistas to that in 2025. Sad!
For me, it's Towa.
You will buy Kyoto Xanadu.
>>560331389I like how they made her hotter with that white pseudo mini skirt thing. Falcom is clearly back!
>>560331282Towacute!Atowable!
She will save Falcom again.
>>560331389I will pirate Kyoto Xanadu.
i won't even pirate it i just dont care at all
>>560331389I will pirate Sky 2nd and buy Kyouto Xanadu.
>>560330386I'd hard break that any day.
>>560331389The heart shaped sunglasses are lewd lewd lewwwwd
>>560331389What is she wearing under her swimsuit and what's the point? I hate how Falcom always overdesigns their swimsuits.
>>560330342Aww, they're such good friends.
>>560331389not a fan of one piece swimsuits desu but those heart sunglasses and frills are pretty hot.
>>560331678I am PRAYING with all my heart that she is an ojou-sama.
>>560332042You don't understand. It is actually brilliant. The appeal is that the pseudo mini skirt makes you imagine how you would clearly see her little hairless pussy if she wouldn't wear the swimsuit with how short it is. It also stirs in you the desire to pull on it and pull it down. I can't wait to see it in full 3D.
>>560332235>not a fan of one piece swimsuitsSame, however only for casual one piece swimsuits. School swimsuits though... that design would look 100x hotter if it were a school swimsuit with that nametag on.
>>560331389Y'all, she's 10.
>>560332815she's gonna be 10,000 and have a hag form.
>>560330652you're gonna ruin your monitor with that insane brightness
Well that was really dumb. I get the sense that I can tell the writing will be very dumb to explore the rewind gimmick. But fuck me, three tries to finally figure out that the computer in the back may have been the cause for the regalavanized enemies? Should have been two at most, and Nadia carries bombs no? Didn’t even need outside help. Hell just a few months ago Elaine was soloing a death game.I hope the character writing makes up for this. Also, sex. Also, fuck am I hungover.
>>560333256they had to reduce every characters iq by 50 to make daybreak 2s plot happen
>>560332978Looks normal to me.
>>560333565oh, my condolences
>>560333256Haha...it's gonna be worse by Act 3
>>560333825I mean, it's a screenshot and I didn't change any brigtness in-game. Everything is stock brightness.
>>560333256>I hope the character writing makes up for thisHAHAHAHAHA
>>560333256Everything about daybreak was a mistake
>>560334163that screenshot is overexposed to shit and the bloom is eating into the details making Rolent look like Silent Hill
>>560334449It's from the Esmelas tower. This is how the shitty engine handles shit in the distance.
>>560334540nah it's user error
>>560334540That view was so nice in the original games...>>560334927Is it? Can you post a screenshot with your settings on to verify that this isn't the default look?
haha
Na-chan
tummy
>>560334341Nah, DB1 was the game I have enjoyed the most since Azure. I like how reminiscent of Crossbell it was. I do think that there were stretches of way too much talking and it got a little too kill-happy at times, but it was a good story with a good cast that made a strong first impression which is more than what I can say for Old Class VII back in CS1.I just know I will find it incongruous how in this game deaths will come about when back in DB1 this cast often felt like it punched way above its weight class in terms of how dangerous the enemies they faced were.Especially my dear, sweet Agnes. I love the character, but in DB1 she was just a school girl that took self defense classes and she is tangoing with Ouroboros members. And she legitimately is probably the best party member outside of Van lmao. The best comparison I can think of is how Y1-6 treat Kiryu vs how Gaiden treats him. He does all this incredible, death-defying bullshit in main games and come Gaiden the Daidoji have him on a leash just because of plot armor. It is inconsistent. Kiryu, despite how ridiculous and unbelievable this is, is a man that took a cab to beat up like 100 armed men. That’s Kiryu, a guy that can go up against a crime syndicate with government backing (mostly) alone.I did like Gaiden anyways despite the discrepancy, but yeah. Van, Agnes and everyone else has been doing shit they should have no business accomplishing, but now that they did they should just stick to it. Sorry for the rant.
>>560336416daybreak 1 was good but it kind of fucked the progression of the arcdaybreak 1 should have been just about a more down to earth low stakes case but they immediately took it 100 and you're fighting ouroboros and doing crazy shit and they blew their load on all the demon shit way too earlyas a result daybreak 2 and kai end up feeling like theres no progression because there cant be any progression until the final game because everyone already started out so strong
Kai 2 will be Their Game and there's nothing you can do about it.
>>560336709This is canon btw.My uncle works at falcom.
>>560336845Rean is such a fuckin fag man
>>560336645To me it was obvious that Falcom was trying to rip off Judge Eyes with Kuro but they didn't rip off any of the things that Judge Eyes did well and the writing was nowhere near as good. Van also should have been a street wise fist fighter like Yagami.
>>560336845Reanasis…>>560336645I get what you mean. Again, hopefully some aspect(s) of the writing will be to my taste. All but a single Kiseki game have been to me.
>>560336948Why do you think Rean is so much more popular with women than Van is? Women love their gay men like Rean while an actual masculine and heterosexual man like Van isn't seen as popular. Just look at the amount of female fans Rean has compared to Van
>>560337216I'm not her though
Shouldn't they be announcing Sky 2nd any time now?
>>560337297Oh. Haha…>>560337373Wife.
>>560337505Joshua isn't a wife THOUGH
>>560337074I think this was a very clear inspiration to them, as it should since it is a fantastic game and arguably the best story RGG has told, but to say it straight up it ripped it off?I dunno, maybe if Almata was targeting Agnes, if Agnes had an identity change and Van had failed to protect her and her family. Like if Almata managed to kill her mom despite having Van’s help. Van would also need a career change and to say he would never get over having failed to save Agnes’ mom.
>actual masculine and heterosexual man like Van
>>560338093I was talking about Estelle, THOUGH.>Joshua isn’t a wifeProof?
meanwhile class 7 homos literally compare dicks in the bath kek
>>560338504What's wrong with that? We did that all the time in the locker room back in school. The teacher even supervised.
>>560338254>>560338504Nothing gay about any of these thoughever
but it's okay when girls compare boobs in the bath
>>560338643Only when I'm peeping. That's gay otherwise.
>>560338504That's a natural part of growing up. Bros don't try to get each other hard though.
And yet anons never post dick pics when asked...
>>560338504only Erebonians

You know who has a big sword? Tachibros...

>>560339029I do though, you just havent asked me
>>560339508did she like CS3?
excuse me, kisekifriends-what did you fuckers DO>>560336184
>>560339149We'll never know what happens when you get enough Calvardian men in one place because Calvard only features refugees haha
>>560339591I think so.
>>560339641of course reanfags are all gachatards
>>560339646I don't get it.
>>560339871Neither do I.
>>560339508I tried watching her stuff but stopped when I learned she loved the writing and characters of Graces. I cannot see eye to eye with people like that, so I never bothered keeping up with her vids.
>>560339029You WILL see my 8.3" uncut cock
>>560339949Ironically I liked the Graces friendship power characters more than Berseria edgelord shit.

>>560340225I disliked both of them, although I know yours is an unpopular take. Maybe almost as much as mine.
>>560339732Aren't Sky 3rd fags and by extension Hajimari fags gachatards?
>>560341127>3rdNot in the slightest.>HajimariMinimally. The only JRPG I know to have fully embraced gacha bullshit is Xenoblade 2.
>>560341625Doesn't Hajimari have a literal gacha system in-game? And doesn't Kiseki have a literal gacha in Northern War that no one plays?
>>560341750that's like saying Sky SC is gambling because it has blackjack RETARD
>>560341750Which is why I said minimally as the only real gacha aspects are the quartz and accessory drops. Xenoblade 2 is more gacha-like because pulling legendary blades, ones with infamously low pull rates like KOS-MOS is handled with a straight up gacha system. If you have to “pull” for characters your game is more gacha to me.
>>560338504They didn't do that.
>>560342302I mean the characters are also technically gacha as you're not guaranteed to get, let's say Angelica for Emblem MQ, right away. Sure as hell didn't get her till post-game and I would have loved Emblem early on just like what happened when I was playing this game in JP. Think my first one was Roselia who's starting MQ is kinda meh. Also somehow got McBurn first before Olivert as my last TRC character.
>>560342892Baby gacha. You don’t have to grind character stones or anything. In Xenoblade if you really want a specific blade you probably will have to.
We LOVE Estelle's Gatcha here!
>>560343290It's fine. I'm a gachatard now that I'm playing the not!Trails gacha, Honkai Star Rail. I'm a fag I know.
>>560315382I'm exactly like this is why I love fanfics. Listening to them clears out the drama and anxiety. Let's turn up the white noise and go for a dance.
>>560343732>Listening to them? are there audio fanfics now?
>>560343905Don't tell me you don't text2speech /fg/...
>>560344160I like using my eyes to read the funny runes
>>560344160the internet is dead enough without a robot making everything even more dead
>>560344249>>560344282>>560343905Tts isn't bad, and I can't read normally while I'm on shift anyway. Juna is such a sweetheart. I wish this series was more generous with the downtime. Everything happens way too fast.
>>560343290XC2 had a great postgame since you had big incentive to hunt superbosses to get more gacha rolls for the SSR characters. I genuinely can't complain about how that gacha was implemented since the free characters are all very powerful already, and they did make a pity system so every player will accumulate a roster of rare blades regardless of luck
>>560344661I love XB2, but I would say that the gacha and field skill stuff is a genuine stain on it. I have like 300 hours in it and no KOS-MOS so I am pissed about that lmao.
>>560344538>Everything happens way too fasthaha...
What if Adol is jut illiterate and he really is in our world and just got all the names wrong in his travelogues
>>560345363More proof that retardmaxxing is the ideal way to live life.
Name a character you likeMe? Well, it's obviously Juna. Haha
>>560341625>Not in the slightest.Anon, you literally find your characters in boxes and if you haven't played it before, you don't know what character you get. 3rd is literally gacha shit.
This thing will never get good at any point, does it?
>>560346567no
>>560346393You do, but you find them all in a certain non-randomized order. How would you even call that gacha?
>>560346567Haha... Our Angel's chapter is good.
she is just perfect
>>560347361If you haven't played it yet, how is that any different than them being random? In both cases you don't know what awaits you in the box.
>>560347361Are gacha machines truly random? You may not know what's in them, but I can't imagine there's a lot of variance in what capsules get dropped down.
Five (5) (V) (Go) (五) (ご) cute facts about Towacutest!:1. She is canonically atowable!2. She is mai Kiseki-fu!!3. I love her!!!4. Towacutest!!!!
>>5603498305. She's the only one who not only can challenge but also has a chance to win against Estelle in a farting contest!!!!!
>>560348705Because you can read?This argument only works if you have no concept of what a gacha or a JRPG is.Who would play an RPG and assume the story unfolding before them and the characters that join are in a random order? Anyone that knows anything about how gacha systems got game-ified knows that character drops are random, that characters have a set rarity and that you either need money or need to play the gacha as if it was your job to get the resources for these random characters who usually do not impact the story unless they were written to do so.
>>560348705So true, it's like playing Sky for the first time without a guide and using Chaos Brand on an enemy. You have no way of knowing if it will work or not. This means Chaos Brand IS a gamble.Imagine being the idiot that spent YEARS trying to argue Chaos Brand was NOT a gamble. I bet he feels so STUPID right now. Knowing a random stranger destroyed his stance without even meaning to. By just talking about a similar topic.He was wrong on the Internet. And now people laugh at him behind his back.
>>560350078YOU'RE the only one who not only can challenge but also has a chance to win against Estelle in a farting contest!!!!!
>look I posted it AGAIN haha
>>560353105I love Anelace!
Anelace will be the main character in the new Trails timeline
>>560341625>The only JRPG I know to have fully embraced gacha bullshit is Xenoblade 2.There's also Rance X which is literally plays like an offline gacha
>>560301630The Hexen clan has many secrets, haha...>>560343905They're all over youtube, they just call them "theories" and "what ifs" lol.>>560344538I have to admit that I like the faster pace of that fic, though the Trade Conference seems to have slowed the pacing a bit and been given a much bigger focus than other big events.
>>560354049>They're all over youtube, they just call them "theories" and "what ifs" lol.NTA but Jesus Christ ain't that the truth. DBZfags and Star Wars spics are some of the most prolific.
>>560350506>Who would play an RPG and assume the story unfolding before them and the characters that join are in a random order?I never said that. I meant that it is virtually the same thing whether you have randomized characters or not. From a new player's perspective it makes no difference.
>>560355159What traumatic event caused you to hate your own people this deeply? You're kinda like Cedric at the end of CSIV lol
>>560353516Stop aging the lolis up.
>>560355316Let me guess, you're one of those "people" that engage in that shit.
>>560354049>They're all over youtube, they just call them "theories" and "what ifs" lol.are there kiseki fics and theories on youtube? I sometimes look for kiseki theory videos but never find anything.Or are you talking about more popular franchises like dbz or one piece?
>>560355696Don't like either of those franchises so nope, how about you answer my question instead of failing to assume things about me?
>>560356303Pot calling the kettle black.
>>560356913No, I'm calling you brown.
>>560355159Haha...>>560355965More popular ones. ALL over youtube. There are some that will talk Kiseki but they're not really the youtube fanfic sort.
>>560356913How? I've answered your question and you've dodged mine twice nowDid I hit the mark and you can't explain it?
>>560355230You did because the characters show up when they are story or gameplay relevant? You really think you find Tita’s moon door and it is “random” you just so happen to get her? I’m sorry but you have to be very stupid to play 3rd and equate its randomness to a gacha, to not mention the lack of grinding, lack of character rarity and many other things a gacha has. Your premise is based on a lot of ignorance on top of stupidity.
>gachafag can't handle being a pathetic gachafag so he desperately tries to drag non-gacha games down to his levellmao roll for a better argument, piggy
Falcom's current output is a gacha roll, and WE keep losing.
Talking to yourself is very cringe.We should talk about Estelle's game instead. Despite my gripes with it, the ending was done really well. It's basically a sidegrade from the original. More expression but no portrait change and Alba was a bit too cartoonish. I like both versions though.
>>560358826>We should talk about Estelle's game instead.I don't want to talk about the game that made Falcom decide to kill Kiseki.
>>560359104no ones talking about kai
>can we umm please talk about Sky?>okay I... umm... I like the ending I guess hahalmao guy can't even be bothered to talk about his favourite game in high detail
You can't handle my discussion at full power
3 months since the last checkup and I have bad news. Even with Blackrock in deep shit, they still got more shares in Falcom. Estelle best girl
Because your "discussion at full power" just ignores the actual games and meanders about your insane unhinged fanfics insteadOnce again showing that Sky is not interesting to you as you need to project your own story into it
>>560359150After Kai, Falcom released a new Kiseki game. After First, Falcom announced that Kiseki was going to end.
>actually playing falcom gamesWhat a virgin lol
>Games released under the Calvard arcThe highly ambitious Ys X>Games released under the Sky Remake arc... Kyoto Xanadu
>>560359517Blackrock ended the ESG program, their investments don't matter anymore. They probably invested because they liked what they heard about Falcom looking into AI translations (Fink was big on AI at the last WEF and made no more mention of ESG or forcing behaviors).Compile Heart is a private company with no Blackrock involvement yet look at their own upcoming high school RPG

I am still amused at how utterly pathetic the Calvard arc made the Calvard natives to wank off the refugees. >can't fight>can't invent
Guess I am blind or something because I never noticed this on Mare herself, only on Altera.

>>560360149play xanadu next its better than at least 75% of those games
>>560362812I could but I kinda want my next game to be Brandish's PSP remake.
Make a wishy........ ON MISHY
I was so excited to finally play as Kevin and Rufus again then I get to the route selection in Act 2 and see the shitnic squad in the companions and immediately lose all desire to play that route. Side note, is it really too much work to put a little "Is Rean dating Towa, Fie, or Altina" question at the start of the game to flag a romance variable? Not even getting a quick little scene or dialogue to acknowledge they're dating?
>>560363523The graphic Fie sex scene would raise the age rating.
>>560363523They can't just show pregnant altina like that
Kevins route is the worst one easily, incredibly retarded to bring people that really don't want to kill on your mission to kill a guy, even more retarded that the people in question insist on coming and even fight him over it
>>560358826Sky 1st le badSky 2nd le bad
>>560364839Not even including all the "test your resolve" bullshit fights in Kekvin's route
>>560333256Not even the biggest daybreak slurper can justify these rewinds. These rewinds only work when the protagonist is a helpless retard.
>>560364839Can anyone explain that scene to me? Swin and Nadia are nowhere that close to Kevin that they'd suddenly care so much about his oath. At best they would vaguely ask if this is the right thing to do and then stay at that hotel. Feels like they're only playable just because they're the new staffs' creations.
>>560333256Remember, they technically never figure it out. They just literally brute force it until it stops working THEN they destroy the pillar
>>560354049What did she mean by this...?
You only have a problem with Kuro 2 because you want to In any other game they would get their asses kicked too but before actually dying someone would show up and slash the pillar to save the dayAt least Kuro 2 had a more fun approach of the heroes having to figure shit out themselves instead of asspulling a random hero intervention that wins the day for them Estelle should've died in that cave during Sky and Walter suddenly deciding to not snap her neck is worse than anything you could say about Kuro 2
>>560363523Rean and Towa's sexual chemistry is already too strong as is, letting you choose if they're dating would raise the age rating to CERO Z.
>>560356090kek
>>560356090But in reality, neither are his.
>>560331389Brown skin is still ugly
>>560367736You literally said it yourself, the scenarios are the same except they die. So... why did they die? Everything in db2 is suddenly very lethal, meanwhile everyone survives gun fights casually outside of it.
>>560368797It would be "neither is", brownoid ESL vankid, and keep your cuckshit fetishes to Calvard games.
>>560368947No, it's not that everything is very lethalIt's that there's no asspull intervention to save the dayEvery MC would've died multiple times per game but there was always the convenient ally around the corner just as the bad guy was about to winKuro 2 removes this and instead gifts them infinite resets to figure out how to save themselvesIt's a cool and fresh spin to the formula even if ultimately they win in both cases Kuro 2 tries something new and it doesn't deserve the hate

>>560372230>KX going all-in on the delicious flattiesOkay I will now buy your game
>>560371695the maxim one had me howlingI actually would've preferred more timelines like that. It was getting very tired by the time it goes to the coop
IF Daybreak 2 was a rushed mess, why did it have the best graphics and choreographed fights of the series at the time? The disaster was in the writing, story, characterisation etc.
Me? I want new characters who didn't interact with Zemuria at all and were not involved with any of the 6 major crisis of the past decadeFrozen in time and detached from the setting characters, that's the good stuff
>>560373450DB2 didn't feel very rushed. it was more like they purposefully held themselves back because by this point they've probably committed to kuro being a four-parter.That was a mistake, because four games in the same arc is stretching the material very thin without an engine/asset overhaul the way cold steel did it.
>>560357420>You really think you find Tita’s moon door and it is “random” you just so happen to get her?Are you retarded? I never said anything about randomness. When you get a character from a fucking box like it's a fucking gacha it feels like a fucking gacha. Whether it's random or not.

I haven't posted here in over 2 months. Ys X was total dogshit so I dropped it. Again. Is the mentally ill misery addict still samefagging and lashing out at everyone to get his conflict-fueled dopamine rush day in and day out? Lol @ ur life, buddy.

>>560355230This is a abstract attack of chaos brand is a gamble. As the maker of that meme I understand what you are getting at here and agree, however in a combat situation there's no point in pretending risk isn't a thing, while in a non combat scenario it can be assumed that the authors did not create 14 different intros for sky 3rds 16 party members. Or so I recall that many anyway.

No, no, I was just thinking that I needed to immerse myself in another JRPG soon and thought of this place and its general misery and decided to stop by to stir the hornets nest. I'll be gone after this post. I forgot to yeet it from my thread watcher, unfortunately.I sincerely hope you enjoy spending thousands more hours on this soul sucking hellscape you've made for yourself. Ta-ta.

>>560374686Listen you cum guzzling retard, only an actual monkey-brained faggot like you would be so stupid to think that because you are an illiterate imbecile. Because your definition of gacha is stuck in the ‘90s. Persona 5 would not be a gacha-like game even if Makoto, Yusuke and Haru popped out of boxes you stupid fucking retard.
>>560376696Could you elaborate on that?
Dragon Quest 1 has treasure chests.These are boxes that loot comes out of.You don't know what the loot is until you open it if you haven't played it before.This makes Dragon Quest 1 gachashit.There. Am I retarded enough to fit in here now?
>>560367736This first time it happened I was expecting the Deus Ex Machina to be Zin or someone that saved them true. And sure, Demi-Grendels are not random mooks, but still, they KNOW they are looking into a problem where the orbal network goes down just enough for it to be irregular. Add to that the fact that several times people say “this is just what happened in Basel” and that Elaine, Swin and Nadia are no pushovers, the latter two getting a lot of preferential treatment, and it just makes it odd they die. I think the fact that this timeline quasi-VN dynamic doesn’t even let you meaningfully alter your actions, you are at the mercy of the writing and the characters having an “A-ha” moment made it particularly egregious. I think I would have minded much less if this happened to Feri, Quatre and Agnes rather than the 3 ostensible powerhouses it happened to.Also, the whole thing with Altera insisting she only used “her own power” is hopefully not gonna be a super drawn out thing.
>>560367736Kuro 2 could've started from Nemeth and trimmed out all the retarded shit in Act 3 I don't even remember anything in Act 1 and nobody gives a fuck about Cao and his chink ass brother Gaopingchingchong
>>560387669I don't know how familiar you are with it, but the Sefirot has 10 nodes and 22 connections. That gives us a total of 32 contact points.You control the 32 contact points and you have domain over all aspects of reality. Enter, the Ouroboros system. Kabbalah. Supreme knowledge.Oppressive. Controlling. Calculated.The 22 connections are easy, the 22 Enforcers.The 10 nodes in the Sefirot are split between the 7 lower nodes, in our case the 7 Anguis. And the 3 higher nodes. Grand Master and Campanella.We're missing 1 node for complete control. From Sheprott's 31 Cypress Trees we know he planted 32. 1 survived. Our missing node.The Aidios system. Gnosticism.Raw divine power. Nature. Freedom. Hope.Aidios safeguards the world with her own 7 lower nodes, the Sept-Terrions. She likewise needs 22 connections. In this case there's the 12 Dominions, the 5 Demon Lords.And the 5 Heroes: Estelle, Lloyd, Rean, Rufus and the final MC.Finally, the 3 higher nodes. Aidios is one herself but she does not have the means to create the other 2 to finalize the system.Likewise the Ouroboros system cannot create its missing node for complete control.Ars Magna is their desperate attempt to do so. Above all of it lies Sheprott, the incomplete Sefirot. He's patient, and neutral. He could pick one system. He could create a brand new one. He could manifest the final Ouroboros node and the missing Aidios nodes.But he doesn't wish to choose. He wants existence itself to sort it out. He wants the see the rivalry of the Systems play out.And whichever system can finalize its structure first will manifest the complete Sheprott and set in stone the nature of reality.Oppressive order or chaotic freedom.

>>560394278It pisses me off that snekstelles storyline neetly fits into this schizobabble. I largely enjoy the storyline I built up but I can think of a lot of reasons my choices for the grandmaster would be annoying since she gets characterization in my timeline where as canon she's a living nothing burger so it would be out of nowhere. Tldr she counts as two. if this game doesn't make her playable in the final arc I don't see how she will ever be a meaningful character.

Randy, leave the bachelor party to me.
You know it just occurred to me that probably the canon strongest NATIVE Calvardian is probably Judith lmao. Calvardians just fucking suck compared to Erebonians, no wonder they needed the East/Central East to shore up their strength.
>>560399473Van (until they inevitably call him immigrant or part immigrant)Bergarduh... Celis and Rion if they're Calvardian? ElaineThat's... really about it>muh Reneanyone can be super strong with all the chaos emeralds

>>560399473>Native Calvardians suck compared to the country that is literally known for its military might and swordmanship schoolsMight as well say Liberlians suck too when they literally only have Cassius hard-carrying them.
>>560400895Liberl literally has better fighters with Cassius, Richard, Morgan, Phillip, Julia, and Agate than all of Calvard's native Calvardian fighters. And they're a small relatively pacifistic country.
>>560399473Let’s be honest no other country compares to Erebonia, they were so strong that they had to self sabotage and fight themselves.
>>560401291>Morgan, Phillip, Julia,Elaine victims>Richard AgateSmoked by BergardAgain Liberl is hard-carried by Cassius
>>560401519Powerful cope
>>560401519Agate alone is an A-rank bracer who was promoted properly instead of "because we need a hot girl on the promo material"
>>560401291oh, and I excluded Kurt and Anelace because they're part easterner to keep the comparison to just full native Liberlians but you can add Carna and Grant I guess

Do we know if Kyoto Xanadu will have panties shots?
Did someone outright ask Kondo about Estelle's spats in Sky the 2nd?
(CSIV)These fucking boars broke me, I actually had to use Ebon Crest the first time I fought one of them.Choosing Nightmare was a great decision. I should've done this back in CSIII already.
>>560410487The only part of Zero that "doesn't happen" is the 5 minute intro. Not an entire fucking Act which includes multiple characters having arcs (Celis, Maxim, Cody)
(CSIV)No way, is that Elie?I forgot that her mom lives in Erebonia...
why did she go from a falcom chad to a gacha slop whore?
>>560416252Man, that dude looks NOTHING like Senator Ryan I know 20 years have passed but still.
(CSIV)Erebonia is such a beautiful country...All things considered, I do look forward to Calvard if falcom improved their graphics game even further. I could spend hours just taking in the sights.

(CSIV)I always like to hear about my boy CHADric.It's nice that the people of the Empire have a role model like him in these trying times.
>>560414460Yeah, from CS3 Nightmare is basically Normal mode. Hajimari though ramps up the difficulty. The true final boss took me many hours of retries and preparation. And then the difficulty dropped with the Calvard arc drastically. Sadly no difficulty above Nightmare to compensate.
Ragecuck asshole status?
>>560424375I'd say Kai's nightmare was pretty solid, until you get access to certain shard skills and quartz. Still some of those sp requirements in fights were brutal.
(CSIV)Seems like we can play in the casino now.Didn't even realize how much I've missed that... ;_;>>560424375I always hesitated to pick anything above Hard mode for Trails games because it always felt like a balanced difficulty setting before CSIII.If I ever replay the series, I'll try Nightmare for all of them.
Who wore it better?
>>560382878She's so cute, I want to lick her face. She will be winning character polls and Falcom will make her part of the main cast in KX 2. Definitely.
>>560372230Her main design is mid, but she has the best swimsuit. The flatness makes my heart flutter, I want to burry my face in her child sized titties and inhale. Way to win us lolicons over even though she's an 18 year old hag. Kondom I kneel.
>>5604079733 games and the hag hasn't done anything to warrant a promotion. The most useless female bracer in Kiseki.
>>560424489>Still some of those sp requirements in fights were brutal.You mean in Grim Garten? I never bothered since it didn't count towards you chapter-end evaluation. I always go S rank despite largely ignoring this shit.
haha...
>>560425925But enough about Estelle.
>>560336416>I like how reminiscent of Crossbell it was.But Kuro 1 was basically CS1 in structure. Edith segments were basically like Trista hub town stuff and the visits to different places your Field trips. Instead of the train you used your car. Kuro 1 is basically CS1 all over again (which was 1000 times more engaging pacing wise than the route shit in the next two games).
>>560426071>never bothered since it didn't count towards you chapter-end evaluationIf you didn't fully S rank Grim Garten you didn't beat the game.
>>560426474I don't care about the slop.
>>560426547Yet you wanted to S rank each chapter. You simply didn't beat the game if you didn't get max SP. It's the same for every Kiseki game. If you don't get max BP/DP/AP/SP then you haven't beat the game yet.
>>560426723I got max SP since Grim Garten was separate.
>>560426767Grim Garten gives you SP for completing it, so you didn't get max SP.
>plays a video game>doesn't clear every challengedo people really live like this
100%ing games is for spergs
>>560426943They don't count towards your main SP. Which is also why I go S rank on all chapters.
>>560427067I did so with every Kiseki, but Kai was the first I had to force myself to finish, let alone complete. I wanted it to be over.
>>560400195Rion is literally Erebonian noble.
>>560412542Source? That would be very based.
>>560427296>They don't count towards your main SPIt's all the same total. Kai (and Kuro 2) just allow you to get S ranks on chapters disregarding Grim Garten because if you really wanted to you could save all of the Grim Garten stages after everyone meets up and do them all together. It exists outside of the chapter SP formula.
>>560427610Leon*
>>560427758>It exists outside of the chapter SP formula.Which is why I safely ignored the bullshit.
>>560427946And so you didn't get max SP and you didn't beat the game. Next time actually play the game.
Gooning to Musse's buttcrack
>>560426342I didn’t see it like that. The tone of the game, Van’s routine in and out of Edith, the mafia, the return of a former high D:G high priest reminded me more of Crossbell than of CS1 and Trista. Or what Rean and Class VII do and go through in that game.
>>560427891Just because NISA's tranny localizers are retards without general knowledge and education, doesn't mean we have to stoop to their level.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Rience
>>560428295I meant the general structure and story progression was literally 1:1 the same. Ao had a very different structure, you didn't really visit other cities and regions on field trips give Crossbell is so small.
>>560428095>Next time actually play the game.Anon, if I'd know that game would kill my motivation to ever play Kiseki again I would have never played it in the first place and just watched the ending on youtube.
>>560427610Rion is a Japanese girl...
Really hoping for a badass and sexy female protag in the next Kiseki arc who looks like this.
>>560427067I try so hard to do so, but toward the final hours of every game I've played in the past 10 years, I get burned out and just want to be done with it so I can move on to something else.
(CSIV)Slutty Sara, I feel like I've seen her from Kuro screenshots...
>>560427067You say this when Cold Steel 2 exists
>>560428483Eh, still not entirely convinced. I see what you mean, yeah you travel to several places and Crossbell is pretty small, but even then you do get to places like Armorica and Mainz and have to do a little work there not unlike in DB1. The scope is bigger in CS1 and DB1, sure. Plus a lot of this thread seems to think you don’t get out of Edith enough.
This is what the current eceleb zeitgeist wants you to believe, I cannot believe people rate CS3 higher than FC or Sky 3rd.
>>560428343This is an American imageboard, we use the American names.
>>560429817anyone who puts half the games in the S rank when they do a tier list is a fucking retard
>>560429817Why don't you leave a comment on the video or contact them on their socials? Having a one-way debate here with people not present and who can't reply seems really sad.
>>560429817Why does this gems dude constantly try to position himself as the "authority figure" on Trails? It's bizarre.
>>560429959They do it to try and not upset as many people as possible, every woman does the same thing. But that upsets me even more.
>>560430289he wants review copies and sponsorships and deals.

That's who you are. Circle-jerking, effeminate, gossiping, little boys.
>>560430289this >>560430527and i think that the dude genuinely hates how some twitterfags and undoubtedly how this place represents the trails “fandom”
>>560430728bro i dont know who these people are someone posted a tier list and i replied why are you having a melty
>>560429817These tierlists are useless because every western faggot says that every Trails game is a 10/10 masterpiece, even the ones on the bottom of the list>>560430728Go away Just the Germs
>>560387841There's no risk in opening them so only monster chests are a gamble. Though you can run away so it's an easy gamble
>>560431073But you don't know which are the monster chests so every chest is a gamble.
>>560430836Yeah, he's the guy who for years has tried to change the way trails operates. If you see a twitter screencap with leftist talking points it's always him.

>>560432992And pray tell, what "proof" would be good enough to disarm your own personal headcanon?Do you want me to track down and e-mail the person that wrote that line for a sit-down interview so I can have his answer streamed live for you?
(CSIV)>Brad heartily welcomed Ash back into town and warned him of trouble>sold him out to Miguel and the Imperial Army behind his backDamn that was intense, there're some real scumbags in Raquel. Can't trust anyone.
I feel like whichever game you experienced the "Falcom bloat" effect in first, SC or CS1, will negatively affect your enjoyment of that game more so than the others. CS1 is underrated in contrast to the rest of the series, most don't like it because of the bloat that's present in most games.
(CSIV)Jurai...That's where HE lived. ;_;
>>560433592maybe. Denying the very obvious allusions to her being a dom and what i mentioned about JP bottoms is a start tho, and it seems you can’t deny that
>>560434279Only "bloat" games are CS2, Kuro 2 and Kai (to the extreme). Never considered any other Kiseki bloat.
>>560435259Well you're a retard because CS3 is nothing but bloat.
>>560434749Damn seeing those detailed textures while playing the Sky FC remake makes me painfully aware how much better Falcom games used to look. Why the fuck does a game from 8 years ago look better than one from last year? How?
>>560435259CS2 and kai for me. a lot of people say CS4 but i was enjoying it so much and didn't want it to end that it didn't feel that way for me
You can say about falcom whatever you want, but you can't deny that their games have become visually outright stunning.These water graphics are beautiful.>>560435537I'm not really a fan of the remake style either.
>>560435537small indie company prease undastandu
>>560435259CSII doesn't have any bloat.SC, Zero and CSIII are much "worse" at that.
>>560435645csfags are so delusional, christ
>>560435537Even the trees look shittier in Sky 1st.
>>560435259>CS2>bloatretard
>>560435696Nah, Sky was made by their newfag C-tier staff members as Kondom stated. Just look and compare what their A-tier team was capable of years ago, a game with the fucking Vita as the lead platform.
>>560435259I thought CS2 was well paced. Its only in hindsight its easy to get jaded because the noble faction is not a main arc antagonist. I'm even a bit of a DB2 apologist because I never felt like it was a slog. Act 3 was ridiculous but not a huge pacebreaker. It actually goes pretty quickly.Kai is what I would describe as a bloated game for sure. You can have routes or you can have 4SPG's, but having both ends up impacting the flow too much.
>>560436121>I thought CS2 was well pacedIt really is, only delusional CS haters would claim otherwise.
>>560435645In terms of anime games they're unironically above average these days
>>5604361214spgs was dumb and lazy. Kevin's route didn't need them and Rean's route could have just have bracer quests because we had a literal bracer in the party
>>560436461Anon, I'm a major CS fag. CSIV is my favorite game of all time. Yet I cannot pretend CSII wasn't bloat. It's better than the entire Calvard arc and I liked it more than the Crossbell games, but it's bloated.
>>560436121Some of the 4SPGs in Van’s route were relevant to the AD cult plot, but I felt that we really could’ve done without them. There was no point in having them in Kevin’s route when he had no excuse to help Van out and Rean had an actual Bracer in his party to do Bracer quests.
>>560436697CSII has way less bloat than any other game in the Erebonia arc even with all the epilogue whining
can we finally admit that the side quests in this seres were never really that good 80% of the time
>>560435645>I'm not really a fan of the remake style either.I think they wanted to make a Kiseki in the style of DQXIS. However they slapped N64/PS2 era textures on the environments which made the decent looking character models and animation look like they belong in a different game. If they actually used highly detailed textures the game could come close to look like DQXIS. The textures are the big factor. I mean the shading and lighting are literally the same. The engine has the bells and whistles of a modern game but it's held back by being developed for the Switch as the lead platform. Just slap on good textures and the game would look infinitely better.
>>560436697Which part of CSII was bloat, exactly?You spend the first half of it searching for your lost classmates and accessing the situation in Eastern Erebonia during the civil war.Then once you've got everyone together, you travel to each region again to help the imperial army liberate them from the noble alliance.And then you're already at the finale of the game.There's no "hunt down cryptids" or "fulfill bracer quests" part of the game that's the norm in Trails games; all of these are optional in CSII.
>>560437356>Which part of CSII was bloat, exactly?Everything minus the finale. Literally nothing is happening in the game. It's just filler shit.
Ys 8 is arguably the only modern Falcom game that looks good and that's only because they put thought and effort into making the world believable with the way you traversed it and how could see the rest of the island from other high places on the map. People pretending shit like CS4 looks breathtaking is laughable.
>>560437284I'm glad they didn't go the lazy route and used their own in-house developed engine instead of Unreal 4 or 5.
>>560435645>their games have become visually outright stunning.I agree.
>>560437284There is a 4K texture mod for the town textures. Can't modders make rock and ground textures or something? AI could easily turn a blurry texture into something detailed.
woah...... stunning.........
>>560432609>>560431916>>560429817Too many tier lists that put Reverie in A or above for inexplicable reasons for me. I found Reverie to be incredibly boring with only one good route (C), one okay route (Rean), and fucking bad why are we doing Azure final chapter all over again (Lloyd). I get that it is the closer to the Phantasmal Blaze arc but it's just a wannabe Sky 3rd that failed miserably.
>Filler and padding, arc I hate - >:(>Filler and padding, arc I like - :O
>>560437790Anon, who are you trying to gaslight. This is literally a 1:1 asset copy paste from CS1 they did for Nord Highlands. And yet it has better rock textures than the Skyslop remake.
>>560438054Reveries plot has a lot of stupid shit in it for sure but it never really dwells on it and it's always moving somewhere. Cutting out side quests did wonders for the pacing and something they really should have done for Horizon. It also had a shit ton of variety in its side content.
>>560438054Alot of Reverie's praise comes from it easily blowing every other game out of the water in gameplay, and C route. Which honestly I think is fair.
theyll never cut out side quests in a van game cause being sidequestman is all he is and he has no motivation beyond that
>>560438054Reverie's character variety, sheer amount of customization options, minigames, abyss mode etc. make it the peak of trails gameplay.
>>560437589Nevermind, I thought you were serious.Keep chasing those pity replies.
>>560438168stunning... breathtaking... falcom have finally mastered graphics...
>>560437594Seiren is the best Falcom location. Falcom should remake Ya VIII.
all TitS Remakes need is some more foliage shadowing from grass and flowers instead of just the trees. the lack of shadows makes it look flat very often
Falcom can do facial animations now too when they want it, a shame 90% of the time they don't.
>>560438427Haha... surely he will have an actual plot motivation now. Even if it comes 3 games too late.
>>560438168Looks unironically better than the Sky 1st field textures.
>>560437594Might be a hot take but Ys VIII is the best 3D game Falcom has ever made.
>>560438715
>>560438720yeah great we can have 50 hours of muh anies over and over instead of him actually dealing with any of his issues and finally learning not to be such a bitch and finally taking a proactive role in the story
I never want to see another "ASK 9 FAGGOTS ABOUT THESE TOPICS" quest in another game ever after Horizon
>>560437284Sky 1st could unironically look like this with just better textures. Probably they'll re-release it for PS5 and PC only in 2 years like Proud Nordics.
>>560438964I appreciate that Falcom tried to give kiseki side quests more gameplay variety than just "talk to x, talk to y, fight 8 goons, side quest complete" for once but all of their ideas for how to achieve that were bad.
(CSIV)Haha... what a peculiar thing to say. >>560435726I'm right though.
>>560438787I don't think that's a very hot take. Ys VIII is pretty beloved. I do want to know how Falcom were able to put out so much good music for it though. It's sandwiched between TX and CS3 which while they both have some good songs, neither had such a consistently great OST.
everyone that posted before and after me is WRONG btw
We used to get entire whodunnit mysteries and riddles as side quests...
(CSIV)Fluffy sheep spotted.The Alster area really is breathtaking; this is how I'd imagine Armorica Road to look like in a Crossbell remake.Really wish we could've visited that place in CSIII.
Damn, this bitch is crazy.
>>560442852but…
(CSIV)>things that never happenedIf we ever get a Cold Steel II remake, they need to implement this.Also, the Alster theme is one of the most beautiful town themes yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VekMorjnRuk
>>560444571>>things that never happenedWrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OvEWv27ET0
fucking drama CDs
>>560445359Better than shit gacha games that Falcom pretends are canon.
It's no exaggeration to say that Juna is one of the hottest girls in Zemuria.If there was a rape button in this game, I'd hit it.>>560445321Oh nice, thanks. I figured it was a drama CD story.Sandy brings it up at the start of CSIII as well.
(CSIV)Die for the fatherland.For the glorious Empire!
(CSIV)Wonder...It must feel so lonely to see your friends and comrades get drafted one after the other while you stay behind.Cold Steel IV nails that feeling of uneasiness and despair hanging over the Empire.
>>560446281the game does put that foreboding feeling of imminent war pretty well in the early part. you have to actually talk to the npcs though, i know some people just blaze through and miss it all
(CSIV)I'm gonna sound like a contrarian, but Carnelia was probably my second least favorite Zemurian novel series.>>560446692Yeah, falcom seems to always nail the payoff games.CSII is my favorite game in the franchise because the civil war was such a welcome break from the usual structure.
(CSIV)I forgot that Fie is younger than some members of new Class VII, haha...
So I just picked up Proud Nordics and I just got to chapter 4, and I noticed each island has a second set of chests on their completion lists that are slightly smaller and darker than the regular icons. Were those in the original game? I can't remember
(CSIV)I like how the priests of the Septian Church more or less know what's going on behind the scenes.It goes to show that we're not all alone in this, and sometimes leads to interesting trivia.
>>560449128They were. They're buried treasure you unlock through Mana Sense. As long as you keep the Eagle Eye accessory on they'll be easy to pick.
>>560449376Thanks
really wish people wouldn't (You) me with weak, low effort overly emotional posts
You're the one doing that to me all the time
all my posts are from a logical and fair perspective that leaves my own personal feelings aside
Trails helped me realise that i love sucking cocks and taking it up the ass.
>>560456756Sky friend...
>>560456756My fellow daybreakbro
I love Trails of Cold Steel so much bros.
>>560458101Me too. And I love sucking cocks and taking it up the ass.
>>560458551What kind of unhinged brain malfunction forces you to angrily talk about your gay proclivities in response to a post about video games?
>>560458673>gayIt's straight for me actually
>>560458871Please Post Plentiful Pictures of Your Bare Chest
why does the shitty gacha from 10 years ago have more visually interesting looking cities than anything falcom ever made in a mainline
>>560459321>Why does the game where it's VN cutscenes look better than the games with environments that you were modelled to play in?Retardbro...
>>560459543so thats a valid excuse for why falcom can have 0 creativity and make 100 generic european looking villages and cities?
anies...
if you don't like Falcom you can just not use the general dedicated to themI'm sure your gacha has its own general you can happily post in haha
>>560459995that is literally from akatsuki no kiseki retard
not a Falcom game, kid
meanwhile falcom "creativity" looks like this
>>560459687Western Zemuria is meant to be Europe. Your lava moat village is incompatible with real Kiseki games. Kiseki isn't quite so fantasy in it's design philosophy. That's why you can only see shit like this in bootlegs.
>>560459687Why would every city within a country have a different climate? Why do you expect towns to be built in vulcanoes or shit?
>>560460448id like more variety in these games than generic green field #2785 and generic european village #5485 but i guess thats too much to ask from this series
>>560460575Consistent worldbuilding is always superior over braindead theatrics.
>>560460859maybe you like 20 games of the exact same shit but i dont
play nayuta, it has better dungeons that any mainline trails game
>>560460923If you would like Kiseki more if every town/village/city had a different climate then you are very stupid. What, did you want Edith's districts to be divided up into ice districts, fire districts, wind districts, water districts and earth districts?
>>560461197true but the standards for action rpg level design and turn based level design are different though now that they want trails to be an action rpg they should actually give it some real level design
>>560461297that's not what i said? im not asking for every single fucking town to be some gimmick but goddamn do SOMETHING original and interesting once in a while but i guess thats too much to ask from kiseki fans
>>560461297>did you want Edith's districts to be divided up into ice districts, fire districts, wind districts, water districts and earth districts?kino
>>560461297kek dogwalked that child
>>560461446>goddamn do SOMETHING original and interestingWhat towns in Europe are located inside of a volcano and/or are based directly beside lava flows like they're harmless rivers?
>>560461772europe is not a fantasy jrpg? what?
You dare question Trails worldbuilding?
>>560461839Kiseki's world is meant to be similar to our own.
>>560462390why do you act like europe has no visual diversity? spain looks different from germany which looks different from greece which looks different from italy which looks different from western russia but everything in zemuria just mostly looks like germany
I can't believe kiseki isn't like my beloved world of warcraft, why aren't dragons a means of transportation
>>560462465Kiseki's countries look different. But like our world, we don't have villages inside volcanoes.
>>560462702ok but europe doesnt have flying cities, giant blue trees or flaming ghost castles either so is trails only allowed to have interesting visuals at the very end of the games?
>>560459687Imagine what Rean could fish out of that river...
It's been a hot minute since I played Reverie. I don't remember Lapis falling into a coma? Where was this mentioned? I could have sworn the ending of Reverie was a happily ever after. Could anybody fill me in?
>>560463258Happened off screen. Haha...
>>560462851Those are all related to supernatural elements not in our Europe that shows things are going down, so yes.
>>560463258happened off screen in between games, like their trip the creil village
>>560463429so you want a world thats just 99.99% generic medieval/renaissance germany with nothing actually fantastical about it besides magic rocksok lolthis is the "amazing worldbuilding" kiseki fans are so proud of
>>560463258You have to read in-between the lines haha
>>560463562and no drama CDs
>>560463258They did a bunch of promo videos before Kuro 2's release and it was in one of those. You didn't miss anything.
>>560463638Good worldbulding doesn't have biomes change randomly every few steps for the sake of it. It has a consistent world.
the possibilities were endless...and then we got daybreak, haha
>>560463834good worldbuilding doesnt have an entire continent look basically the same
>>560463902shizuna and elaine daydreams were false advertising
>>560437709Slim teen girls are the best to look at, especially half naked and in their underwear (and pantyhose in Altina's case).
>>560463308>>560463562>>560463654>>560463827Did anybody upload the translated videos? A refresher would be nice but I refuse to give NISA a single cent.
>>560463986You really have to wonder how much they rewrote the game between Hajimari and Kuro 1 because it sure feels like it
>>560463982Good worldbuilding results in a continent that looks like Zemuria's. It doesn't result in a continent that doesn't make sense at all like how you want biomes to change with every few steps.
>>560463638I don't think you understand what "worldbuilding" meansYou just want an erratic high fantasy world.
>>560464212you keep trying to put that argument into my mouth because its the only way you can make a defense but sure you tell yourself that>>560464217again i already said that if you went from spain to russia you would see tons of places that looked different but walking from grancel to heimdallr to edith you would basically see places that are all just the sameyou seem to love europe but don't actually know what it looks like beyond a generic understanding of it and think it all just looks the same
>>560464408Spain and Russia don't border each other.
>>560464701oh my god dude you're just being disingenuous willfully at this point
>>560464036I dont mind her pantyhose, they're plently sexy. I just prefer bare legs generally. Altina would be sexy in anything regardless.
>>560464759You don't seem to understand that countries that border each other tend to have similarities. You American or something?
>>560464986you clearly just want (you)s i'm not engaging with this bait anymore
>>560465091That's good, run away after being exposed as a retard.
im not wasting any more time arguing with bad faith retards who just care about having the last word and only talk themselves in circles
>Xhe FLED
That's good, run away after being exposed as a retard.
>>560465443I thought you said that you weren't replying to me anymore. What changed, coward?
>>560459321>>560459687>>560460575>>560461446I get where you're coming from, but as someone who hasn't played the Calvard games yet, I can't say that I agree.Each town or city in Liberl, Crossbell or Cold Steel has been sufficiently unique so far.
>>560464147https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_FN_lI9WEo&list=PLa3Rfm2MZo-i2V4kmgxN3VEBuO9FoEM7r I think this was it? You really didn't miss anything though. It's pretty just a recap video with a few lines of dialogue at the end.
masterful class on how to disarm a retard, well done anon
>>560445321https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMQgOmBWq6bBIKk7Z5G8GnLMbl7La8UrnDamn, there're so many of those.
If it were up to me I'd add a 10 year time skip after the Calvard arc wraps up so the final arc can have Adult Lapis as the final MC
If it were up to me I'd add Cao getting shot in the first 5 seconds of the game.
>>560466674It appears my superiority has caused some controversy fufu...
Ok but why was the Shartenmaster even able to hack Lapis to begin with?
>>560466743Weird how (((Lloyd Bannings))) has no problem with the mafia running crossbell, but Rufus improving the city is too much.

>>560467224eh it's kinda obvious Epstein was part of whatever clan tended to Time and decide to steal its secrets to make the genesis hence why he was punished and sealed within the cube
>>560467224God I can't wait for the plot emeralds to be gone from this series. They're everything wrong with Falcom writing.
>>560331389>brown
>>560467537better than the plot emeralds towers of Sky SC haha
>>560467224Meanwhile Agnes has all of the Genesis throughout Horizon and does NOTHING with them until the ending. First half of the game should be Agnes using their million powers to BTFO every threat that ASO comes across.
>>560467894Yeah it's funny how only villains are allowed to actually use the genesis to do any of the 8024 things it can do.
>>560467537>they see my massive penis
>>560468067proof?
>>560467224and hamilton creates god knows how many replicas that do all sorts of other bullshit
>>560429817Sky 3rd is awful, contrarian kevinfag. Doors are gay.
she's afraid
>>560468710i hope we've seen the last of boobs mcgee when calvard's finished
>>560468710lloyd is so lucky.....
>3 females 1 male >Elaine as party leaderso it is true, only women actually play video games here
>>560469024Lloyd only has eyes for Noel.
>>560468917Kondo here, the final protagonist will be Rixia and Lloyd's daughter because of you.
>>560468917Jealous of her size, sis?
>>560468917Got bad news for you Elie.
>>560469079the non-van male members are the worst, gameplay-wise. they call them the big 3
>>560469115Noey...
>>560468710>noticeable puffy nipples what a whore
OOOOAAHHHH BURNING..... HEEAAARRRTTTTTTT
>>560469292??Quatre is a more versatile Risette Aaron is the best damage dealer in the seriesI can't defend Bergard because he's never present when it matters
damn, she's fast
>>560469764tiny teeth
>>560469590>Quatre is a more versatile RisetteNah Cobalt Curtain is a must in Kuro 1 and 2 on Nightmare. In Kai no so much because of Brave Orders. But Risette is the ultimate support character of Calvard.
>>560469590>Aaron is the best damage dealer in the seriesHuh? Aaron is not even a top 5 damage dealer in Kai. His kit is all over the place it's like Falcom had no idea what they were doing when designing him.
>>560469590There's no reason to use Quatre over Risette when her shield is easily spammable. Aaron is shit in combat. Kuro 1 and 2 are arts games and he gets easily outclassed in Kai.
>>560470167>>560470197>>560470207user error
>>560470501In what world does Aaron outclass Grendel, Judith, Rean, Shizuna, Kevin or any of the good casters? Even Bergard is better than he is.
This was brought up a few days ago, but is there any way to create a hybrid patch for the Kai? Basically the main story, Connect Events and side quests from the fan patch and NPCs from NISA's release?
Imagine Cold steel written to be woke like Calvard. Instead of a mid-high threat Bardias would be soloing Aurelia and Victor together
>lets give our physical dps a buff that reduces his hp and makes him do more damage the lower his hp is so that he takes multiple turns of setup to do what another other character can do with a decent buff in 1 turn while also putting him range of being one shotted at any time>lets also give him an aoe status effect ability in an arc where the regular enemies are the weakest theyve ever been and it'll be useless on bosses>lets also make his only useful attack only do damage if you hit from the back which you cant do on any large boss>PERFECT
>>560470670Why would you do that? What kind of autism is this?
How to beat the calvard games:1. Daybreak 1 = Faceroll, you can barely lose even if you try2. Daybreak 2= Throw whales at them3. Horizon=???
>explains his monster request>suddenly "REEEEE nobles"Damn
lotta text moaning about aaron only to then turn around and spend several turns setting up Judith only to spam the one attack that makes her do decent damageyour obsession with aaron is pathetic
>>560471093imagine the Nord refugees imagine class VII joining the imperial liberation frontimagine no patrick
>>560471149>Why would you do that?NPCs in the patch are literally Google translate. Or slightly above. Talking to all NPCs literally cause me brain damage.
>>560471294judiths buff doesnt put her in 1 shot range constantly and her attack is a side damage modifier which you can do on any enemy in the gamekeep coping though
>>560471337>Nord kid who never saw tehcnology shows up and makes a better mech than Schmidt in a week>Patrick still exists, but he's turned into Jacobin
>>560471458you're just a hypocrite really at least you admit you're too bad to manage HP in a turn based JRPG
Cao won bigly
>>560471606why do you have such a hard on for lil ronnie lol just gets outclassed by everybody for way less effort and with higher reward
>>560471667you're the one obsessed with aaron, we can tell because only you think calling him ronnie is funny
>>560471554>Wow Ngubu you built a divine knight from scratch??
>>560471778youre the dumbass trying to act like he's one of the best characters in the game lolthe only reason to use ronnie is if you're gay for him hes a shit combat character (and shit writing wise too)
>>560471846just because you're too stupid to manage his health in a turn based JRPG doesn't mean the rest of us struggle with basic math as well
>>560471093>girlboss qween in a leadership position and everyone in the nation reveres her>strongest person in zemuria, completely embarrasses every male martial artist in erebonia>tradcuck legend lianne sandlot kneels to her and says she's the superior warriorHow is Aurelia not woke incarnate? The only thing to make it even woker would be to changing her into an easterner like they did with Hamilton.
>>560472000are you retarded lolyou get better performance out of characters who you dont have to babysit so why would you waste the effort babysitting a character who doesnt even perform welljust admit you're gay for him lil bro
>>560472052Name me one thing she does to affect the plot.
>>560472052There is absolutely nothing about Aurelia that is even remotely woke. She is basically Gigachad with the body of Stacy.
>>560472052Despite her being played up for laughs as so OP:1. She was weaker than Victor until he got injured2. Loses to Ogre mode Rean in CS33. Mateus easily dunks on Rean and his entire team in Reverie and is confirmed the strongest by that game4. Her and Aurier are confiremd less strong than Victor and Arios (wokies would never)
>>560472052It's okay when Cold Steel does it.
>>560472082yeah yeah you don't need to keep repeating the fact that you find it mentally exhausting to keep track of numbers
>>560468465Reanasis...
>>560472485bro is so blinded by his gay lust for ronnie he completely misses the point
>>560470207>Kuro 1 and 2 are arts gamesI'm playing kuro 2 on nightmare right now and I feel like the arts options deal 500 damage whereas the physical attacks hit for 500x2. I feel like normal attacks/crafts are more reliable?
>>560472052Wait what I just read this>girlboss qween in a leadership position and everyone in the nation reveres herShe goes from being Cayenne's lackey in CS1-2 to being put in Thors Branch Campus in CS3-4, a position she grows to like but it's objectively done to put her in her place by Osborne and she can't do shit about it (start of CS3, she's clearly very bitter about it)
Rean should teach Aurelia the eight leaves.She'll actually end up soloing the continent.
Why are all Calvard characters so dimeless?
A reminder for Calvardfags. You lost to CS and to Sky, both series less woke than Calvard.

>>560445686@grok summarize this thread after the post I am replying to
Finishing the Sky FC remake brought me to the conclusion that the OG version or Evo are simply more immersive and soulful. The 3D models simply cannot reach the charme of the 2D sprites and 2D portraits. The Weissman reveal and the ending were great, but as a whole the remake felt strangely empty. For my 4th Sky trilogy playthrough I'll stick simply to the Evo versions. Aside from the charm of the 2D, they have significantly more voices (every main story line for every character, every side quest, every character with a face is fully voiced including all side quest NPCs).
>>560478342>>560478570Anon, that makes this look even worse for Calvard. On average this means Horizon is underperforming for each region even if you take multiple regions into account, especially with the MASSIVE disconnect between CLE releases of Sky 1st and Kai.Look at the numbers in the opposite direction; the maximum equivalent for Sky 1st would clock in at 354.4k, well over 6 times the maximum of Kai/Horizon. Worse still if you look at it in minutiae; just Germany and Spain alone, if this were cut equivalently (which it would not be, realistically, but we are being generous here), would be running laps around the NISA Horizon release. The CLE releases in particular are off by nearly a factor of 10 between the two.
>>560479741Based Evo enjoyer.
>>560479906Again, for Sky you have 7 markets, for the Kai release you have 3 markets and it's 1 year old at the time. Many English speakers just pirated and patched it with the English patch.
Do you have any numbers on Euro releases that show all that much adoption compared to other regions? Because I keep seeing you bring this up but never presenting anything to back that up.
>>560480139>implying most of this thread didn't pirate 1st
>>560480139That's what you're not getting, even if you divide those markets it shows Sky still making laps around Kai/Horizon. Look at the difference in CLE releases again, Sky 1st has the exact same markets there and came out later but did nearly 10x the numbers.
>>560480374All 20 people that post on /fg/ don't matter much either way. Less relevant to overall business than even r/falcom.
>>560480354As I said last time. I know that German players don't play English only games. I am German after all. The general complaint on forums and in comments is "no German subs no buy". Literally the most common reply. Sky remake is also the first Kiseki game that is being covered by German game mags. If you search for Kiseki review videos in German there are like 2 in total before Sky remake, now there are quite a few, just for the remake.
>>560480374I did not because I pirated FC.
>>560480139>7 markets>counting France, Germany, and Spain as "markets" in the same vein as Japan, Asia and the English speaking world>even though most French, Germans and Spaniards know English anyway
We need more Shizuna
>>560480760Again, your Kai numbers are missing the Japanese, German, Spanish and French sales.
>>560481456okay
>>560481395South America alone is a bigger market than the single country of Japan Embarrassing post from your part
>>560472616Do you have the whale arts already? The thing with endgame arts in daybreak 2 is it's free, fast and has s-craft tier damage.
>>560481395>even though most French, Germans and Spaniards know English anywayI can't speak for other countries, but most Germans won't play a game which has no German subs. the average German English literacy skills are on a very basic level. More than in Japan, but even in hardcore weeb communities many just don't feel comfortable playing games in English and outright avoid them. Even worse the casual German gamer. In fact before Sky 1st there were just 2 youtube reviews in German for Kiseki games. And even if you read comments under those most people complained that there is no German option and that they won't buy it. Ever since Sky 1st remake dropped not only was there a large wave of German youtubers suddenly covering a Kiseki game (all of which new to Kiseki), for the first time German video game magazines covered the game/franchise. Before Kiseki was non-existent in Germany because of the English language barrier.
>>560481808Are all germans like this? I'm 3rd worlder and we all just accept if we want to get anywhere in anything we have to learn english.
>>560481948Most shit here is translated into German. We also have a top tier dubbing industry. There is no need to learn English for entertainment alone. Everything relevant is German translated and dubbed.
cute and canon
>>560481471CLE releases in Asian markets, the ones you kept outlining as China and Korea. Kai numbers do not count German, Spanish, French, whatever, because KAI (the Asian release, not Horizon) did not release in those languages. CLE would be, directly, the same markets for Kai and Sky 1st. And Sky 1st was nearly a factor of 10 difference from Kai. Sky 1st ALSO released after Kai in those same markets.Do you understand this much at the very least?
>>560481948Most, yes, this also extends to austria and switzerland though to a lesser degree
If, for the sake of letting our imagination run wild, one were to take sales awayWhat else do the Sky fans have? I ask because that's all I ever see them talk about
>>560481353I am asking for the NUNBERS on it. Sales, reviews, anything of the sort that shows hard data.
>>560483429>What else do the Sky fans have?The best gamesThe best MCThe best romance

>>560484027Mi hermano! Si si el Rean es gusto MC!
>>560483718>>560483869You should give the other 11 games a try haha
>>560484164lol your favorite arc is literally about how immigrants are superhumans who are better than white people at everything and how limiting immigration is literally terrorism, Kusoeater
>>560484312Um, no?My favorite arcs are Sky and Crossbell, tied.
>>560483429Richard, a Chad that Calvard can't hope to compare to.Agate, an A-rank that actually earned it instead of getting DEI promotions.Weissmann, a villain that actually had weight to his actions and a plan that made sense. Cassius, a man that actually feels like the strongest instead of a dumbass with a big weapon.Need I go on?
maybe you guys should actually play the games more
So I've played all the Trails game through CS IV. But I played them in a weird order (I started with CS1 and didn't know it was a series) over the course of a decade. So I don't think I remember a lot of it all that well. I restarted about 2 years ago but my Sky 3 saves got corrupted after 20 hours and I just kinda dropped it. Should I go back into 3rd or play the Sky 1 remake since I'm still technically in that arc?
>>560484197I have, do not worry. I know what I’m talking about.
>>560484969The Sky remake is fun and will probably serve as a good refresher. Keep in mind that the script used by Gungho is different from the old XSEED one though.
>>560484969Taking your time with this series is probably among the best approaches to playing it.
>>560482917Again: neither CLE's Kai or NISA's Horizon release cover the German, Spanish, French or Japanese markets since they do only offer English, Chinese and Korean.
english and chinese are 95% of falcoms overseas sales so what does it matter>nooo but it doesnt include the 50 spanish sales
>>560484969Go back into 3rd and skip the remakes.
>>560485962I will make this as clear as I can. CLE of Kai and CLE of Sky 1st cover the same markets, am I correct? We are ignoring Gungho and NISA releases in this because neither are CLE. Are you able to agree to this statement?
>>560486256>english and chinese are 95% of falcoms overseas salesBecause that are the only markets they sold their games in until the Sky remake.
>>560486498You still aren't providing any numbers to back up this significance you're ascribing to it.
>>560486474>Ignoring the fact that CLE released their console version of Kai half a year prior to the STEAM version and most Chink Kiseki fags just played it on console alreadyWhy are Sky fags always ignoring te context?
>>560487347It's literally the languages they released their games in.
>>560484969as the other anon said, the remake would be a good refresher or just replay 3rd
>>560487723So you're just giving up admitting you have an actual argument to make, I see. You switched from talking about Spanish and German releases like they were relevant to CLE and are now falling back on a staggered release between series. Are you able to show numbers backing up your claim that this staggered release had such a large effect on the Steam numbers? Comparisons between the CLE releases of Kuro 1 or 2, Hajimari, Sen perhaps?
>>560487839So post them.
why do you guys keep having this argument
>>560489659Because you're a whore. No cocks for you.
post pussy, slut
This is your final arc's protagonist. Say something nice about her, /fg/!
>>560490420Looks like she fucks nobles on the regular>>560490483Looks like she fucks commoners on the regular>>560490583Looks like she fucks the grandmaster on the regular
this is too cute
>>560490891i get it
>>560491141Same. Risette is a beautiful woman. Can't blame the GM.
What does Risette's bellybutton taste like? Asking for my boss btw.
>>560491554A-Agnes...?
Estelle would have been better if she was a horse.
>>560491932Gacha crap aside, I think Sky 1st should have added horses to Liberl. It makes perfect sense for the region given both >The old timey aesthetic of the region and relatively low tech>The rocky terrain unfit for roads It makes more sense that Estelle and Joshua rode horseback across the region than goddamn walking across an entire country. A re-imagined Liberl that didn't just 3D-ify the original maps and instead changed them to have a more realistic scale/distance could have been great.
>>560492325Maybe Liberl never had any horses for a reason. It's trails in the sky not trails of horseshit.
I miss when I was playing through db1 and really enjoying Calvard, even to the very end of that game. Maybe I'm just burnt out from playing basically every game back to back, I think I'm at the start of Act 3 in Horizons
>master1200>edit
>>560484368>Kusoeater pretending to be a Crosscuckkek
>>560497732Take your meds.
why the hell are we fighing in front of creil
>>560497897Because Kai is a shit game
>>560497884You first, Crossbell is literal filler. They're no ones favorite games.
>>560494080I'm also on Act 3 now and finished Kevin's route. Starting Rean's route and have Van left. Anyone know how much game time I have left approx.? I want to get to the meat of the main story now.
>>560497974I will say the music has been kind of dogshit in Kai so far. For every 10/10 track like Battle junction 1209 you have 10 generic boring boss and dungeon theme. What a disaster. And they don't even use the good battle themes often.
>>560492325>relatively low tech>jet powered single person flight machines that have never been seen since
when i finish azure, how many games until tio appears again
>>560501550You'll only have to play two games without her.>>560498261Crossbell is tied with Sky for my favorite arc because of Tiocute and because the gameplay is very good, unlike all of the gameplay that comes after it.
>>560431708>>560432992>>560433592>>560435189As usual it's up to a snekautist to actually read shit out for you. As I suspected having never heard buta much in listening to the Japanese script it's not ever said like that. Schera says basically "men are just like this" or "men have this kind of tendency" (critical)
>>560436106It's unbelievable to me that people think the top looks better. The anti soul gas is so bad.
>>560437284Anyone who calls a texture from those eras incorrectly should be public ally lashed until they can't play games anymore. >>560439036Now this is actually a humiliation for sky. Which is also standing proof that less anti soul gas the better it looks.
Sky 1st is Falcom's best looking game.The colorful, low-realism look is perfect for an anime game.Anime games should not look realistic.
>>560467537The chaos orbments are central to the plot retard.
>>560479741It's a cursed problem with these remakes. Sky was built from the ground up to be a set of dioramas that are disconnected and imply unseen elements. Sky remake turned it into one contiguous zone. Because falcom is this incompetent they have no confidence to make changes so they created what is essentially a 1:1 remake despite it turning things empty. To be honest cold steel also feels that way. Roer especially.
>>560483429Complete Evo voice lines for all main quest dialogue. There's more since I'm obsessed with sky but I think this is the one thing that people forget. Sky isn't just quality. It's quality and quantity in ways kiseki hasn't bothered with for years.
>>560490420This is her partner character. They're gonna save zemuria from credit card companies.
this shit is PISSING me off
>>560505760Might have to limit your framerate,
Runny's festering cloaca!
>>560431708Why is Sky such woke garbage?
>>560407973What's DEI?
>>560510859Since when was it woke? What about the arc makes it woke?
>>560330203>so many heckin cool anime clashes>no stakesWhat's the point? By stakes I don't mean someone dying, just capturing some Ouroboros cunts and torturing them to squeeze information out of them.
>>560512876You're asking for an entirely different genre here.
>>560512876Personally I don't like the stakes. It's not that I think steaks are bad I just don't think they know how to cook any so I'd rather they don't.
>>560512218Sky has some .. kinda woke shit with the feminist nonsense (like the queen accusing Richard of being muh sexist), but 99% of it is fans of the actual woke arc (Calvard) wantign to bring other arcs down to their level
>>560431916Daybreak legit stops being good after Chapter 1.
>>560513393Fair enough.
Cute and canon!
>>560504930>anti soul gasThe island is foggy, that's a plot point.
A game where equipping a new weapon doesn't change its look will never be anything above a 6/10It shows the effort was not there and the devs had to cut corners Trails will never be a respected franchise, it is that simple
Calvard literally rewrote the entire settingWe've been hearing about Reinford from Sky SC as one of the greatest technological companies in the world.Nobody ever fucking mentioned Marduk in the history of the series but now here they are making full body cyborgs and fucking with time
Marduk are the Gnomes rebranded to keep the heat off after Blacked Alberich got too comfortable farming opps
>>560505540>Complete Evo voice lines for all main quest dialogue.Wish someone would bother to properly mod the Evo voices into the remake. it's just the voices which the remake also voiced. Playing the slop remake feels so empty compared to Evo.
>>560522493If Black Alberich wasn't gone I could buy Thorndyke being Black Alberich
>>560437284I wonder why Falcom didn't just use AI to make nice textures for Sky remake? Instead they used microsoft paint or some shit. Textures is the one thing I don't mind using AI on.
>>560494080Hopefully Horizon 2 will be different. I keep hoping we get something like in Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 13-2 where Van and co. will have to jump around to different time periods in Zemuria, and solve various problems in order to reunite with Agnes.Then again... I'm sure it's just going to be another 4SPG extravaganza beforehand in Edith while shit slowly begins to happen.
>>560529536Funny cause both of two games also have a ton of filler side quests but it's cool when it's not Trails for some reasonYou have to spend 10 hours grinding just to get your MC back in Chrono Trigger and 30 hours in XIII-2 clearing side content to get the best ending but hey doing a few world building sidequests in Horizon is too much for people
>>560534945Laura love

>>560542664These vankid textwalls seething at Rean expose the mind of a deeply disturbed individual whose life was ruined by a video game character. Homoerotic elements slip in with a suspicious frequency, revealing even more about his personality.

>>560543348>gives upPlay the games lil' bro. Garcia tells Lloyd that he shouldn't bother breaking out. Lloyd then inspires hope in Garcia and tells the ultimate truth. Staying in jail would just be running away. This contrasts with how Rean just wanted to hide in Ymir in CS2.
rixia chose cao over lloyd
>>560543942Lloyd... Our FUARKING HERO
>>560543921Sister... Calm down, okay?
>>560543942This is why Lloyd is the best protagonist. If Rean was in Lloyd's place in Azure he would have rotted in jail forever with no woman there to handle his pitybaiting.
>>560544290>If Rean was in Lloyd's place in Azure he would have rotted in jail forever with no woman there to handle his pitybaiting.lmao Falcom would've found a way to have a woman show up just for that

Iconic glow up.
>>560543942Lloyd can be so cool sometimes.
>>560542664its funny to see reanfags fall apart when they are reminded their arc is walmart persona and that their boy is the fujo favorite
Vankid still mad he lost the arguments over game sales kek
Vankidfag is still mad Cold Shit lost half the day 1 JP audience.
Today, I will remind them.
>>560546938Estelle ruined everything.
>>560546938looks like we need another Lloyd game
>>560544290>If Rean was in Lloyd's place in Azure he would have rotted in jail foreverRean escaped from the Pantagruel on his own and even saved a princess along the way. Ultimately, his classmates came to his aid as well, and together they liberated Erebonia.Lloyd needed Garcia's help to escape from a common prison while Elie and Tio idled their time away, Rixia went back to Cao, and Noel served under Dieter and Arios (who admitted to be Guy's murderer in front of her). The only one who came to lloyd's aid was the fucking dog kek.
>>560547238You weren't meant to point that out...
>>560546938Please have mercy on Vankidfag, he has so little to live for at this point.
Vankid/Reanspicfag sure is lonely tonight with all these samefagging and spamming...
>>560547337There's no need to add fag to the monicker when the "Van" part already implies it hahaBut I do agree, Vankid comes across as one particularly bad day away from ending it all
>p-please stop calling me Vankidfaglmao
>>560547238>Rean escaped from the Pantagruel on his ownHe needed Ishmelga's cheat powers and also had to use Alfin as a meat shield. Crow also could have put him down at any time but decided to just mess around with him. Not to mention how he had to run away from everyone instead of fighting despite being buffed by his cheat powers that Ishmelga gave him.Lloyd and Garcia fight their way through the jail and break free of their own accord. Then they go their separate ways and it takes a small army to get him to temporarily stop before Lloyd gets back up again and despite being surrounded and despite being outgunned he vows that he'll always get back up because he can't bear to let the truth escape and close his eyes. Lloyd is our hero.
>>560540671kek fuck you, now I'm noticing how his posts always follow this formula
>>560548163Lloyd's so cool...
>>560548163>Lloyd is our hero.Losers tend to worship losers, that much is true.
>>560547238Lloyd and Garcia went at it for real, so if you want to call that “help” sure because Lloyd going schizo and beating himself up would not do much. And the fact that Garcia was not holding back is more than what you can say for a powered up Rean that faced opponents that were not trying to seriously stop or hurt him, in part due Cayenne wanting to use him, and because they didn’t want to hurt Alfin.
his Sky persona got owned yesterday so today he's pretending to be a Crossbell fan instead lol
>>560548523And yet Lloyd got back up again after and liberated Crossbell. That's true strength. It doesn't matter how much you kneel if you can get back up and finish the job.
>>560547045where's the towa brap chart?
>>560548730he's given up trying to defend calvard then
She still couldn't excuse why none of Lloyd's team members even tried to break him out from jail lol.
>schizobabbleSo this is the power of the Reancord..
Vankid is in my walls
>>560541235>Trading card game
>>560548797So true, kinda like how Rean kept getting back up and solved a Civil War, a World War, Hitler, Spirit Hitler, EvilRean and soon the faggotbox
