not much. there's the villa itself which is pretty quick, a second pseudo-dungeon then the final dungeon. the final dungeon is pretty big but the rest is fast, so you could probably push to the end in 4-5 hours?

Use speedhack in the final dungeon though, that thing is kind of dire.

As far as sales go: well, let's just see what The Future Brings™©®♪ and what that says, eh?

(Now, a question does come up about whether or not the $30 price point was the right call, and if people are somehow unwilling, in this sardine-packed, race-to-the-bottom market, or unable, in this grim, blasted, post-cyberpocalyptic hellscape of an economy, to pay that much for an 80-hour RPG with some of the best writing in the business. If the answer to either or both is "yes", then that's... something to digest for drat near all of us, still involved with Trails or no, but also something that'll just need to be tackled going forward.)

So I logged onto Steam and found that I had 20 unread messages while I was offline. So I check them out and find 20 links to XSEED's tweet. Something I certainly didn't expect, especially this early. I'd thought they'd save the announcement for just before E3 or something.

I just hope they know what can of worms they're opening since by localizing 3rd, they almost kind of have to bring Zero and Ao over later on unless the sales are that abysmal, which will be a huge undertaking.

It feels like their intention to bring every entry over at some point. Sales certainly seem to support the idea.

The actual problem was releasing at that price point smack dab in the middle of a huge sale and missing launch exposure by default because of it, as soon as it goes on a similar sale for like half off it'll sell like hot cakes.

Or in my case it's being willing and able to pay 30 for an 80 hour rpg but I already have so many games on my plate that I haven't finished (including the first trails) that it didn't make sense for me to buy it at launch. I'll get it and play it eventually but it might not be for a while.

Or I should stop buying so many long RPGs.

Can't move my PC. So I think my best option to do this is to buy a 25 or 50ft HDMI cable (I can get one for 10$ so not a problem) and see how to use my PS4 controller wirelessly on PC if I can, or hope to find a cheap controller.

The series has sold 350K overall too. Not too shabby for a niche series and a small publisher. It just doesn't seem like a lot because AAA publishers like Square-Enix have grossly inflated expectations where a game which sells 4 million is deemed a failure.

Using a PS4 controller on Windows is incredibly easy (and cool!), I literally just set it up myself a couple of weeks ago. Just need DS4Windows and either a micro USB cable or bluetooth adapter.

Tom's confirmed that "that" memory door from 3rd will still be in the PC release. The one which Falcom removed from the PSP releases because it'd probably bump up the age rating too high. He also said it's the team who translated Trails of Cold Steel who will be handling 3rd, which I guess makes sense since they finished up the translation of Cold Steel 2 a while back.

I knew XSEED wasn't going to cut content of their own volition, but I was curious about what Falcom's stance was with regards to future releases of 3rd.

having seen the original scene, I think people are kinda overblowing it. The implications are incredibly hosed up but nothing explicit is shown or described or anything, all you get is third hand implications and Joshua and Leonhardt being disgusted. . Iunno about the CERO rating, but it's the kind of thing you could totally get away with in a T game. Heck, I've seen it gotten away with in T games.
