So while SC has depressed us regarding lack of release date, Cold Steel might be going the opposite direction, because Best Buy just put it up for preorder... with a date that certainly doesn't look like a placeholder. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-playstation-3/9512028.p?id=1219704509893&skuId=9512028 11/17/2015, huh?

It is now August. XSEED please don't be lying/pulling some "Astronomical Summer" bullshit and give us SC. Preferably sooner. Cake Attack posted:In China, haha Given that the PC port for Ao no Kiseki is also some Chinese thingy, and yet XSEED apparently considers it relevant, PC Celceta from China might not be too bad...

Slur posted:The problem with the way that this is being handled (and the entire Trails series as well) is that Falcom seem to think that their writers will be immortal/their profits will justify a consistent number of sequels. Sure, this could all be built up to some grand conclusion, but the question is if we're ever going to see it, and even more questionably so in the west. This is half the reason why cliffhanging is a really, really, really bad idea. You don't really need to be immortal to have your story continue, you just need to leave complete notes of what you have in mind. Which you should be doing anyway. Hell, the Writer(s?) probably have to explain the overarching whatever to people in order to get poo poo done anyway.

The Colonel posted:I kind of wish they'd keep this error in. Yeah, I gotta say I like that one. I mean, the fact that it apparently refers to Olivier, they have a point, but still. And the stuck in walls one isn't worth caring about, since the guy had to work hard to get in there anyway. So if you do it yourself, it's your own drat fault. This one, however. How. How does that even work. Ugh. So, I guess I can understand that they're delayed hard by this. But this just begs the question of how the hell did it happen in the first place. What did Falcom do when making this game. Supremezero fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Aug 15, 2015 |

... wait. What. As work was drawing to a close on the editing side of SC, a lot of discussion was also being had on the direction of the series as a whole. This was always in the back of our minds, but it became especially important as work on Cold Steel began. WHAT. They didn't start translating Cold Steel until editing of SC was almost done? And they're already done? ... Hm. Or maybe it means editing of Cold Steel began. Still, that's kinda nuts, though CS isn't remotely as long as SC.

Erpy posted:From what I heard, Cold Steel makes some simplifications to the quartz system. Rather than getting spells by accumulating elemental points on certain lines, quartz gives spells directly like a direct copy of FF7's materia. Not everybody was happy with that simplification. I've also heard that the games are easier...or rather easier to break. Trails FC's final boss tended to take like 30 minutes, even with high levels and the most powerful setups. I once heard someone say that there were setups in Cold Steel II that allowed you to do so much damage that the final boss could be beaten in a handful of rounds. Meanwhile, in Ao, you can perpetually stop all the enemies from ever acting to begin with, and oneshot almost everything, and have infinite turns... Anyway, to be realistic, the problem's most likely "Waaaah they changed it, it is now the worst thing". Supremezero fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Aug 23, 2015 |

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Well, I think he left in part because of guilt, or possibly because he made an agreement with Cassius that if his (Joshua's) past ever came back to haunt him or put Estelle/Cassius in danger, he would leave. Uh, Alba just told him that he was spying on Cassius for Alba. And that he was doing so by mind controlling him. And presumably still can mind control him. This seems like a pretty solid reason to get the hell away from the girl he loves right the gently caress now to me!

Slur posted:The Carnelia chapters and the short time window between mission to mission was the only real thing which irked me about Trails. The short windows of opportunity always made me feel on edge and paranoid that I was missing out on something important. It's not as bad as Tales games. Thus it is "good" windows.

SpaceDrake posted:I'm p. certain they are going to be very careful about CS2 spoilers in the artbook. There's only one really big spoiler for CS1 that could be in the artbook anyway. There's spoilers for a game in it's own art book all the time. It would be a pretty boring art book if it left out things that would be spoilers. The sequel, on the other hand...

Cake Attack posted:considering the following is the boxart for the collector edition of FC Evo, i do not think falcom is as concerned as you think I'm not really sure that swimsuits and "super saiyan tit attack" are comparable. Then again, I'm not entirely sure what's entailed in a "super saiyan tit attack", so I could be completely wrong.

Tita is adorable, you should bring her everywhere. I just got her as much range as possible, had her run Support, and take shots into enemy groups when she wasn't supporting. Earth Wall is OP.

Erpy posted:Yeah, it's Lorence. When he was at watching the play at Jenis Royal Academy, he was wearing the same white longcoat he's wearing on the cover and if you paid close attention to his battle sprite, you might have recognized that uniquely shaped sword of his. Interestingly enough, Lorence is holding his sword in the wrong hand on the cover. He's very clearly a lefty in the game itself. Don has good taste in hats, clearly.

The cards she gets are the Star and the Hanged Man, followed by the Hermit and the Magician and finally the inverted Wheel of Fortune. Your picture is too small for me to understand what you're talking about.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:The PSP version of Trails SC will definitely not have special phrases for each individual chest, because SC's empty chest line only pointed to a single string. However, there is the possibility that all 522(!) chests in Trails SC will have custom strings. No promises, though. *shrug* I kinda assume that any patches they make during the first few weeks will be for things I won't have reached yet anyway.

King of Solomon posted:Ys Seven is very good, yes. It's a bit different from the Oath engine games, though. It introduced the party system (which Falcom would improve with Celceta), where you control a party of three characters; managing your party is pretty important, since damage types make a return. As a bonus: you get to play AS Dogi. You could've just said that and ended your reasoning there.
