cold steel 2 does not end on a cliffhanger, it just also doesn't fully resolve everything

I like how in the Trails games whenever the characters are doing a thing and I have a question or concern about something a character would usually pipe up with the exact question or concern I had. Even if it's something mundane like hey can they really leave that septium vein reader thing sitting in the middle of a cave? Won't monsters get to it? This series is made entirely of little things that other games ignore.

Quartz lines don't do anything in cold steel do they

there are limits on having the same type of quartz in a single line, and the longer a line the more expensive far out slots are to open, but the more EP you get for opening them they're somewhat of a legacy mechanic, but they do matter a bit. physical people can take advantage of splintered lines to have more status effects and debuffs attached to their attacks, while magical people get more EP from less, longer lines

I was about to head into this thread with some type of shitpost that amounts to "When the gently caress is cold steel coming out EU" but then I decided I should at least check if some sort of release date has been announced and, well. Whoops. I forgot that nobody on the sites I follow plays small JRPGs and also that I don't actually follow anybody European who could have maybe cared about this release. Well, I guess I just got a new RPG to add to the top of the queue.

Didn't it come out on January 30th or something?

It did, over two months ago. I'd pushed the whole game to the back of my mind when it was clear it wouldn't be coming out any time close to the US release and I was avoiding this thread for spoiler purposes, so the release just completely passed me by. I sort of assumed it would come out sometime wayyy later, SMT4 style.

I just beat Ys 7 today. The party gimmick was pretty fun, though I think as a result a number of the bosses had way too much HP. I think I prefer having no way to heal but relatively shorter boss fights than Ys 7's more extended fights. I still liked it a lot. That just leaves Celceta and I've played all the modern Ys games.

I would really appreciate it if Cold Steel didn't frontload itself with cliches one through fifteen of the big anime cliche book before even one hour of game time has passed.

It gets better later on but yeah the early part is basically how many cliches they can ram into your face per second, especially the stupid boob-fall.

This is so. good. Wait, does that happen again in CS2 or did they just make that one moment Rean's entire personality?

Trails has cliches all over, Cold Steel is just the one that dumps nine main cast members on you within the first scenes.

I didn't expect cold steel to be structured so much like tits, with the sidequest lists and everything. Are the crossbell games like this too? Not that I mind, just curious.

lets hang out posted:I didn't expect cold steel to be structured so much like tits, with the sidequest lists and everything. Are the crossbell games like this too? Not that I mind, just curious. yeah iirc, the framing device there is that the party are members of a new police squad that deliberately takes after the Bracers

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Wait, what? I remember her being really awkward about it for the entire prologue and into early chapter 1, to the point that other characters comment that she's being super weird about what was clearly an accident. not 10 minutes literally, on the dot, but she does apologize fairly quickly

She's weird and snotty about it for a good long chunk of the early game. If she apologized for it ten minutes later it would have been way less annoying.

Endorph posted:anime cliches are good Nah. But they aren't at their worst here at all, it's just bad in comparison to TitS which begins with a whole set of different, much lesser used tropes. This game's just doing romantic comedy anime show 101 here and it's just kinda boring.

She apologizes to Rean before the first field study, which is really before any substantial amount of interaction.
