Looks like Ys X is coming out in Japan this year, how long did it take for IX to get translated and released in the US? Also curious about that new version of Felghana, but I'd much prefer they just do a compilation of the originals like the castlevania collection Konami had M2 do. Would love to see the first Ys on every system they put it on back in the 80's, it was everywhere.

Would really love a port of the TubroGraphix version, it’s how I first played it and fixes the biggest problems I have with the Complete version of Ys 1/2.

Chapter 4 *gasp* I know some stuff got spoiled in Cold Steel, but man, forgot how seemingly just about EVERYONE is some kind of secret agent or double agent or triple agent or turns baddie. Mariabell is kind of a huge Mariabitch to be honest. Arios, you fucker, I trusted you. Also KeA got bigger! Sept of Zero. Its the name of the last game :O woah, Wald is able to go back to human form, guess he actually has control. Kind of sad to see Noel and Wazy leave, but I guess this part of the game has to be seen by the OG SSS squad. Neat to finally start to see what happened in Crossbell, since Juna and the backstory of it was a huge part of the game. *gasp*, Its the giant mech Aions :O Also, not you too! Noel!!! Why, I maxed your bonds, you were suppose to be my romantic interest pick. I was gonna break up with Elle for you.

GateOfD posted:Chapter 4 Seeing these events from Cold Steel first is funny, because the Erebonian papers are like "pure and innocent Empire shocked and aghast at evil Crossbell's declaration of independance and their sinister forcefield, we definitely weren't actively trying to annex them at the time" I was ride-or-die with Elie in both games ever since she gave that speech in Zero about how hosed-up Crossbell actually is. Worked out pretty well. Kale posted:Rixia Mao being in 3D was clearly a mistake though.

I mean, it should be spoilered yes but on the other hand, Kuro 1 is fully fantranslated into English now and the NISA PC version is right on Steam, available to purchase. It's a bit silly to demand all talk of the Calvard arc isn't talked about in the thread. E: Ah, didn't see your edit until after I posted.

I wasn't trying to imply that the graphics should be on par with Final Fantasy (that would be unrealistic) but Trails graphics seem below average for their generations in general. It would be nice if the Cold Steel graphics were at least Tales-level.

The graphics aren't a problem, it's more that they're trying to do HD stuff without the polish or budget, when they can probably look better off with a unity anime style instead of like further inflating Elie

The new trails anime was bad. It was fun seeing some characters and locations in animation but it feels like it completely undersold everything implied about the events in CS3/4 all the while making no real sense plot wise

Falcom has a bad habit of patching new story stuff and features into their games a month or two after release from Hajimari onwards. Happened with Hajimari with some extra story episodes which mostly introduce some characters from the Calvard arc, then happened with Kuro 1 by adding basic features like turbo and a bunch of other quality of life features that were straight up missing on release, then again with Kuro 2 by adding new playable characters and a new story epilogue for Marchen Garten. So it's possible, I guess.

I'd argue that their real bad habit is their insistence on releasing their games, not when they're finished, stable, bug-tested, contain everything they're meant to and ready for release, but simply when it's september.

Don't just walk up to them and start slashing. Use the double jump to either fake them out and attack them from behind or use a down-stab to stun them before going ham on them.

Nobody said anything about the TurboGrafx-16 version of Ys 3 before you, though? I think that's where the confusion is coming from. People were talking about the TurboGrafx version of Ys 1 & 2, which does in fact rule. I think you misread a post.

Replaying CS1 I was kinda surprised by how many creepy comments Emma got, even from Rean, although he at least has the sense to just think it and not say it. Also just from replaying CS1 and now on Chapter 1 of CS2, it really hits home how dirty Claire has been done by the end of the Erebonia arc.
