Yeah he's good. He's got a good protagonist voice but has lot better reads then lots of the typical everyman protagonist casts like papenbrook. And he's not overexposed like lots of English VA are

I don't think that trailer was all that great but my hype levels are already pretty high so that might be a factor.

Release date aren't super important to announce until they've started scheduling shipments to stores. Is there any benefit to the consumer, knowing that something is coming out exactly on day x months in advance? A time-frame is good for knowing what you'll need to budget, depending on how tight your budget actually is, but I can't see much from knowing the exact date. Unless you're super weird and minority anyway and would alter vacation days or plans entirely around a video game release but the cost/benefit on announcing a date for that crowd is super bad.

People just want to know when they can spend their money and expect to be able to play the game, it's not that hard to understand. It's also perfectly understandable that XSeed haven't announced any release dates, though.

So apparently I'm dumb and only who you pick at the end affects the minor scenes in CSII, looks like I won't have to put in a huge amount of effort for minor gains after all!  now if you'll excuse me I need to get to level 80 for 200 more sepith, this is extremely important shut up.

I was mostly worried that everyone with a max link or whatever would get extra scenes so I wouldn't have an excuse to ignore NG+. But I do so I'll probably end up doing it anyway carrying over Items/Max Bond ~just in case~ but still

But I do so If you're serious about leveling to 80 that is another reason to NG+. It's super unreasonable to level to 80 without using the shining pom dlc so unless you're buying it the quickest way to 80 is NG+ speedruns to refresh the free 3 before doing a final run whenever you reach 77+ to do whatever else you'd want to transfer instead of the speedruns. You can beat the game faster than you could gain three levels with actual grinding once you hit the mid-70s.

The Shining Pom DLC pack refreshes with every new game plus. I personally went through the game a few times, thinking that the maximum bonds would change the dialogue that happened in Trails of Cold Steel 2 for some inane reason. I got Rean to level 81 through playing as much as I did. It's not so much difficult to do as much as it is tedious and time-consuming to get through the game that many times.

That works out then, I was super-late to the Cold Steel party so I got it pretty cheap and I don't mind shelling out a buck or two for some bait. Double it in NG+ and I can hit 80 pretty comfortably.

Just finished Cold Steel. I was really enjoying the ride but was disappointed with how things started to seem to peter out around the final Old Schoolhouse visit. THEN SURPRISE GIANT ROBOTS PLOT TWIST NEW BATTLE SYSTEM MOTHER FUCKER. DID YOU LIKE XENOGEARS? YES? THEN LET'S loving GO. Give me Second Chapter now please.

Chapter 6 is so conflicting On one hand, Irina is completely terrible but my party seems oddly insistent that she's actually nice no really, and the game seems to be trying to paint her as a wise mentor figure despite the fact that she's a terrible parent and her industry is literally on fire. On the other, gently caress yes Angelica as a guest party member!  both these things happen in like ten minutes, it's a rollercoaster.

The answer was "before", and it wasn't even developed by Falcom themselves. The more you know.

Been playing cold steel, and the pattern is getting a lil repetitive - Free Day tasks - Old Schoolhouse. - Practical exam. - Train ride over to field study. - Menial tasks meant to get a better handle on things. - EVENT! - Fight a big boss. - Your actions weren't actually able to resolve the problem. - A mysterious somebody steps in to SAVE THE DAY !! - A long series of scenes where they talk about "that person" or we'll need to use "that" - nobody talks like this, it's awkward and stilted just to keep the audience in the dark - repeat I am really enjoying the game though, I'm just entering chapter 4 now.

The typical formula for these games is: Game 1: slowly builds the characters and setting through a ton of great world-building and "minor" crises. The goal is basically to make you care about the characters/world and become familiar with the setting. Game 2:  It's pretty drat effective, honestly. I finished CS1 and holy poo poo where's CS2 why isn't it out right now.

Yeah, I knew the cliffhanger at the end of Cold Steel was worse than the end of TitS FC, but I wasn't prepared for exactly how much worse. I'm really glad XSeed was already working on CSII. I hate to imagine what the Japanese fans went through.

The formula keeps up throughout the whole game but chapter 4 ups the stakes for the rest ongoing and the endgame is fantastic.
