Hard is fine on a clean save (well, clean-ish - I didn't carry across levels or equipment). Towards the end it gets a bit more tricky but still reasonable enough,. Magic becomes a lot more powerful than physical in the final dungeon.

I tried Nightmare on a everything-carries-over run and it was also fine until near the end, when it got to be pretty annoying. Physical attacks become really lousy compared to magical ones. I was considering doing a "clean-ish" run on Nightmare, but I probably should not.

My desire to play both Zwei games hasn't diminished, especially not with looking at all the art from them.

Seriously holy poo poo the art for the Zwei games rules so much.

Tancients got in contact with SkyeWelse and apparently they're continuing the Zwei2 project. Check the comments on the most recent bofgames news. I can post the most recent thread on it when I get home.

edit: HoL thread is here. Apparently their coder is back and they might finish the patch in this lifetime.

Heh, Cold Steel's kinda infamous for ending on a horrible cliffhanger and the sequel won't be out for at least a year, but XSeed figured that wasn't cruel enough, so they're including an art book featuring both games just to twist the knife a little bit for those who are trying to avoid spoiling themselves. You think resisting the temptation to look stuff up on TV-tropes is bad? Wait until there's an actual art book taunting you for the better part of a year. :P

I'm p. certain they are going to be very careful about CS2 spoilers in the artbook. There's only one really big spoiler for CS1 that could be in the artbook anyway.

Anyhow that is a swag as all hell collector's edition, I may have to throw down some money for that.

There's spoilers for a game in it's own art book all the time. It would be a pretty boring art book if it left out things that would be spoilers. The sequel, on the other hand...

apparently the xseed facebook page claimed cold steel was coming out before SC, but tom on the xseed forums claimed that was a gently caress up. so if you read that somewhere it's false.

Judging by how long SC has been stuck in QA hell, and the fact that Cold Steel 1 is close enough for pre-orders to open, I'd say the chance of Cold Steel being out in NA before Second Chapter is out is definitely higher than zero.

Higher than zero, but very unlikely. Apparantly QA either hasn't started yet or is in the early stages for Cold Steel while SC's QA is nearing the end. Both Tom and Brittany mentioned that both games are still on schedule and SC will definitely come out well before Cold Steel. While Murphy's Law has been extremely persistent regarding this project, their optimism is refreshing, since Tom's previous words on the status of the game was more wary.

Yeah but what about Xanadu Next and Tokyo Xanadu though.

If you folks didn't see the Tokyo trailer and weren't hyped as gently caress we can't be tennis partners any more. I'm sorry that was harsh.

In a shocking announcement, the process of giving Tecmo Koei permission to make a Falcom character outfits DLC has rendered the entirety of Zwei!!, Zwei 2 and Trails in the Sky: Third Chapter physically impossible for Xseed to ever release in the west.

I guarantee you Falcom had brand management/etc people involved just to ensure that Estelle didn't end up with some sort of stupid super saiyan tit attack.

I'm not really sure that swimsuits and "super saiyan tit attack" are comparable.

Then again, I'm not entirely sure what's entailed in a "super saiyan tit attack", so I could be completely wrong.
