Don't put those over powered characters into your party if you make them demi-gods that can handle the elite supersoldiers of the world. Or at least make them so overpowered as guest characters like the mirror things in the final final dungeon of CS2.

I still don't believe Toval is supposed to be an actual threat as opposed to some goof that can barely handle rabbits on a mountain.

I hope Brittany is working in a different department than this guy: http://kotaku.com/localizer-asks-to-be-removed-from-games-credits-after-d-1794678587

quote:

Yesterday, a localizer for the publisher XSEED took a dramatic stance on what he saw as potential censorship, asking his company to remove his name from the credits of the upcoming JRPG Akiba’s Beat after the developers removed a controversial phrase involving the KKK from the game.

XSEED (sans Lipschultz) e-mailed Acquire asking what originally inspired the sign. Ken Berry, XSEED’s executive vice president, helped explain what the letters meant in the U.S. “Acquire immediately responded that they had no idea the sign could be taken that way in English,” Berry told me in an e-mail. Two weeks later, Acquire removed the phrase from Akiba’s Beat, with no further conversation or discussion, replacing it with “ACQ witches.”

A year ago, Lipschultz protested when ages were removed from girls’ profiles in Senran Kagura Burst, a game Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft reports was made because the developer wanted to put boobs in a 3DS game. Lipschultz almost quit.

Lipschultz knows that the removal of “KKK witches” from Akiba’s Beat is “insignificant,” and truly, one might wonder whether this is really the place to take such a stand. But, he says, his dramatic gesture was inspired by the well-trod Evelyn Beatrice Hall quote, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

“When I first requested to have my name removed from the credits, I actually didn’t know we’d never specifically asked Acquire to change this – I assumed we had,” said Lipschultz. “If I’d known that then, I might not have ever suggested removing my name from the credits. Then again, I still might’ve! And either way, because this is such a gray area, I don’t entirely regret my request. If nothing else, it’s bringing censorship back into public discussion, and I think that’s important, since I feel it’s a problem we – as an industry – really need to talk about. In my own backwards, awkward way, I’m hoping I’ve opened the topic wide enough that maybe some good will come of this in the future.”

More info: http://www.siliconera.com/2017/05/09/trails-cold-steel-iii-shares-agate-tita-new-battle-system-features/

quote:

Falcom revealed the Japanese release date for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III in this week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation, and they also shared additional character info on Agate Crosner and Tita Russell as well as new battle system features. [Thanks, Hachima.]


First, here’s some info on what’s included in the first-print limited box:

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III mini-original soundtrack.
Special Duties Division: Class VII SD rubber strap full set.
A special 128-page full-color art book.
Original DLC “Invitation from Thors Academy”

Agate Crosner – After the “Liberl Incident,” Agate achieved various achievements, at home and abroad, and was promoted to an A-rank Bracer. It’s been four years since the events of Trails in the Sky and Agate has grown mentally. A big mystery from Trails in the Sky will unravel in Trails of Cold Streel III. He’ll also participate in battles.

Tita Russell – Tita is now a 16-year-old girl, but her love for tinkering with machines and for Agate hasn’t changed.

Next they shared some battle system info:

- Direct command – The Direct Command is a new input method, like the conventional “Ring Command” system, but made to be more simple with one-press commands . Players will get to intuitively input commands using commands that and their corresponding inputs for each button and d-pad.

-Brave Order – A new system that lets characters set an “Order” (strategic instructions) without using up their turn. When a Brave Order is activated the entire party is affected by its effect for the turn. Brave Orders uses BP, which accumulates in battle.

-Craft – A character’s unique skill that uses CP, which also accumulates in battle, to activate.

-Style Change – Juna Crawford (pictured above) has special trait that allows her to switch between two styles. She uses a gun and baton hybrid “Gun Breaker” weapon. Juna is able to switch between “Striker Mode” and “Gunner Mode” on each of her turns.

XSeed's never done preorders on Steam. Apparantly Valve only allows preorders on AAA-titles. Not to mention you don't really want preorders. A smaller company like XSeed wants to stay in the top sellers for as long as possible in order to get more exposure and that's only possible if not half their customer base preorders the game months in advance.

You might have a very broad definition of AAA because I've pre-ordered on much smaller games, unless you're calling games like Atelier and Tales of ____ "big budget."

And pre-orders show up in top sellers, that's how FF13 and Nier Automata were at the top of the charts weeks in advance of their release.

Has anyone here played the fan translated version of Zero No Kiseki yet?

There's a new, more improved translation coming out, but wondering if people have tried the first one that's come out

It's decent if you're curious enough to try out Zero with the expectation that it's a fan translation.

It made me realize I'm going to really like it if/when it's ever officially out, because the setting and characters made me grow attach to it way faster than I ever did with Sky.

First impression of the start of CS2 is that it's harder than the start of CS1, though that might be because there are fewer party members at this point.

It's because you're using mostly physical attacks for the first couple of hours and they changed physical accuracy so you're missing way more.
