Maybe? I seem to recalled them being responsible for the beach volley ball game that was like a late night skinimax deal. Or was that another dev?

e: yeah it was them but under an alt name.

e2: well looks like it wasn't a oneoff? Third installment. This isn't under a alt name either?

considering the following is the boxart for the collector edition of FC Evo, i do not think falcom is as concerned as you think



For added fun, compare that picture with the "beach picture" they did of the Trails ladies (minus Aina and Kilika) around the time FC first came out.



I can see Falcom holding a meeting where they discuss why that picture just won't do in 2015 anymore and reaching the conclusion that Estelle's shorts, Kloe's blouse and Tita's full bathing suit were too 2004, so they got rid of all that and decided that Kloe was rich enough to be able to afford a boob job.

they are both fanservice pictures of girls in bikinis. i don't think it's worth over analyzing them to proselytize about how one is wholesome and one is for sick perverts because estelle shows 1 more inch of skin in the second

This kind of touches on my point, sorta. To say they just gave out okay for them to use the IP and walked away and it didn't take up time isn't accurate. You can bet they had people in there to sign off that it was "acceptable usage" (whatever they feel the definition is) of the IP etc. Just like I'm sure when TN did Other M, Nintendo was all up in their grill about how Samus looked/acted/talked etc.

Or maybe they didn't and that's why Other M shipped the way it did. :ms:

That game would have been bad regardless of who designed the game engine because the writer for it is the same dude who wrote Fusion and Zero Mission, he just got to go full story with Other M and it turns out the full story he wanted to tell was a horrible sexist mess.

Well, some news about TitS SC (albeit from a guy who works for XSeed, but not actually on the SC project):

The PSP version is in the early stages of master testing, and the PC version has caught up with it recently, so that suggests that they're pretty close.

If it's anything like the FC release there will still be about a week or so of bug fixes/patches to iron out various issues. But just the same, woooo :toot:

Well, we don't actually know how long the PSP Master Certification process is, so it might still be a month even if the Curse of Kiseki doesn't strike again. I know I'm thinking October.

XSeed seemed pretty confident they'd be able to release SC "well before Cold Steel", so there's probably no need to hurry through the game because you also want to play TOCS when it's released. This is just my personal opinion, but games like Trails aren't really meant to be rushed through. Half the fun is spotting the little things. Well, half the fun for me anyway. SC is twice as large as FC and it'll probably take twice as long to get through too.

Personally, I have quite a few vacation days saved up for this year that I inted to use when SC is released. I'm nearing the end of my "talk to everyone at every possible opportunity"-run through FC and I'm planning to play through SC the same way when it comes out, even though it'll probably take between 100 and 120 hours.

It's had a November 11th release date since it was announced. XSEED said back then it wasn't the release date.

Of course, they could be lying, but hey.

Amazon still lists November 17 as a release date. Anyway, XSeed seemed confident they'd be able to release SC "well before" Cold Steel, so hopefully there'll be an October surprise from them.

Progress continues on SC, though mostly behind the scenes. "Master testing" has started for the PSN version (meaning a release candidate got submitted to Sony who's checking it to see if it fits certain standards such as ESBR implementation) while on the PC side of things, people noticed that a Steam page was created (though one that's not publically available) for the game.

Also, people noticed a Steam entry named "Trails in the Sky FC Japanese". Seeing that the Steam version of Trails is region-locked in Japan, this suggests XSeed's PC version might be released in its original language in Japan. Exciting times.
