also as much as i like them occasional yoh shiina just misses the mark entirely with the originals, estelle's FC status menu art is awful. SC's is good though

Yeah, I feel the same way about Kloe.

I think the status menu art for FC was done earlier or something because it's a slightly different artstyle then the ingame stuff and SCs stuff. the eyes are different

as long as we are talking art i'm going to say that i like the character art for Cold Steel quite a bit and i'm glad CSII ditches the school uniforms so everyone gets their own design

i was also disappointed they had the 3d models as portraits in textbooks instead of 2d portraits

I kinda liked sky's character design variance so a return to form in cs2 will be nice

here is my final word, on art style:

Sky: the in-game portraits are really expressive and good. the full body concept art is sometimes good, but sometimes bad, like Richard and his massive hands. i quite like the character designs too (i am very fond of SC Joshua and his cool scarf)

Crossbell: They're by the guy who illustrated Baccano and from what I've seen of them they're good

Cold Steel: Quality designs and art but it uses the 3d models for conversations in game

To be fair some of them are so used to the color red that they just look the same as they did in military high school anyway.

With the exception of the art style kind of sucking.

It's the exact same artstyle as TitS except with less lovely upscaling. The only thing that's changed in that screenshot is the UI and character portraits (for the better).

The real crime of the evo games is the HORRID fully animated openings they made, especially the one for SC.

I never got the point of having an animated opening if you can't even afford a minute or two of consistent animation.

They decided they should cut as many male characters as they could. The only non-main characters who survived were Bleublanc and Olivier, which we all know the reason for.

"...creating a vision of the sort of society you want to have in miniature"
Having played Cold Steel what I wouldn't give to play a remastered version of Trails in the Sky with the improvements from Cold Steel, especially in combat and traveling. Fast travel is a godsend, especially when you want to talk to every NPC.

in tits SC has anyone else experienced saves taking longer and longer as you play? at least I think it's saves. like i'll first notice the delay when moving from room to room getting longer (like due to the autosave), and then eventually it hangs for a few seconds on a black screen after battles (also probably the autosave?), and at that point manual saving from the menu also takes a long time. never had this happen in FC, don't think it happened in the early parts of SC either or maybe I just didn't play long enough to notice.

also as this is happening the game kind of gets stuttery all around

Now I'm only giving you till midnight to explore the last floor of Tartarus, but let's all waste hours talking about how much we worked hard to be a weird anime rock band at the last minute or reassure the spy that we're family because she's a part of Class 7. And its all an unskippable cutscene to really drive up that Kojima moment home!
