While Forward, Relentlesser is hilarious, I'm opting for "the perfect* starting point"

I remember a PSN Trophy guide that was available pretty much immediately after CS2 came out in English that functioned as a max AP guide. Does anything similar already exist for CS3?

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3

I don't think it matters what the title is. ......over the past few years of waiting--no, even before that--we've come a long way on our journey for this game, and we've formed something even stronger than a good title. It doesn't matter if a thread has the perfect icon. It doesn't matter if the title makes a clever joke about the game or the series in general. It doesn't even matter if it has an informative original post. No. What matters is the bond we share, and our drive to better ourselves day by day. I know that if we keep that bond, and if we keep testing ourselves, our new thread will come out on top. That's not just what I feel--I'm sure that each and every member of the Falcom thread feels exactly the same way.

Aww, looking it up I'm disappointed Crossbell and Cold Steel are actually designated as being Legend of Heroes VII and VIII. I always hoped that in 2234 or so when Falcom finally finished the whole Kiseki saga, they'd release the entire thing in a collection just titled "The Legend of Heroes VI"

Yes, he is quite mad.
gently caress I was just spoiled on something from the ending of Azure and it just makes me want to play it even mooooore.

Super huge don't click Aparently the little green haired girl Kea can just alter loving reality and changed the past within the crossbell games for reasons I am not aware of?! The gently caress?!

Its my own fault of course. drat you final boss song of Azure for being so drat good.

I feel like knowing a big spoiler years before the game is actually playable in English is worth listening to The Azure Arbitrator, aka literally one of the top ten Falcom tracks (which is saying something).

Besides, Trails is all about the storytelling anyway

Zero and you'll need to find an English language patch, most of which aren't great at the moment.

how much of Ao will CS3 spoil if i play it first?

Jun 27, 2004

The closest acceptable translation is
"die properly"
The identity of one of the villains, but that's about the only major thing. The other plot points were covered in CS 1/2.

the most you really get is "Weird poo poo was going down in Crossbell during CS1/2" and a couple villain identities

ugh since i'm replaying CS i now need to go full Online Radio Silence until i've finished CS3 so i don't get spoiled

so i might as well get the bitching out of the way: nord highlands suck and alisa's mom is bad, also i hope we get to punch osborne in his stupid smug face eventually

So, uh, unrelated to all this Cold Steel discourse, I'm playing through Ys Origin, and I just finished Hugo's route (Yunica's is done), and am about to start Toal's, and I'd just like a confirmation on something

So, that demon seed in Hugo giving the whole Fact family from then on is the reason why Dark Fact in Ys 1 is evil and demonic and Keith Fact in Ys 2 looks so demonic?

Wait, hold on. There's a Keith fact? One of these names is not like the others...

he's the friendly lizardman in Ys 2

i think he looked that way because he got nailed with a curse, but the curse still interacted oddly with the Fact bloodline which is, yes, contaminated by the demonic energy Hugo accepted in Origins

Azathoth256

I just love the idea there's such a thing as demonic fact energy.

Except that Keith lives on Ys while Hugo stays behind in Esteria, so while Dark Fact is a descendant of Hugo, Keith is not.

Make sure to chose the non-Vita version if you get it, IIRC.

has anyone here gone through NG+ in TiTS the 3rd? Does it carry over your battle counter? Just wondering if I can avoid fights or if I'm going to have to win 400 battles all over again

It went on sale earlier this year and I played through it.

It's pretty good, it feels A LOT like Trails of Cold Steel 1 in structure, though the battle system is completely different.

So after scanning through the thread and catching up I've got a few questions.

1) is there no official download for the Zero translation yet? I used the guide earlier in the thread a to purchase a legal copy and all I found on their site was that it's 100% complete and they are doing final testing

2) I didn't see it in the guide but is there a good place to get Ao without malware?

3) any release date on CS4 yet? or even official announcement they are bringing it west?

the new Zero translation hasn't been released yet, they're still doing QA on it i guess

I think it's safe to assume CS4 is coming but there's been no official announcement. The question is more whether we get it next year or if they'll do Ys 9 first since Ys is more popular in the west.

I’ve been assuming we get Ys next and the earliest we get CS4 is late 2021.

Probably just depends on how their deal with Falcom is structured, but hopefully they manage CS4 sometime next year. A 2 year wait would be incredibly brutal, given how absolutely vicious the cliffhanger ending of 3 is - as in worse than CS1's. Maybe they can work on both at the same time with different teams?

I'm assuming that they're going to have a team just working on trails and even then it'll probably be 2021
