No Rean Coldsteel in OP, 0/10. Edit: Also on a serious note post the comparison video showing the abolishment of Oddly Silent Rean, since that's a pretty big point in the PC version's favor. Last Celebration fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Jul 26, 2017 |

Erpy posted:Also, the Japanese voice actor portraying protagonist Rean was apparantly very expensive and somewhat of a prima donna, so either he couldn't make time to record all of Rean's Japanese lines or Falcom couldn't afford them. As a result, in the console versions, Rean is frequently unvoiced in cutscenes that do have voice acting for other characters. XSeed offered to fill in the blanks in the console version, but Falcom didn't want to make the required changes to the code. With them having complete control over the PC version, XSeed has fixed up the "Silent Rean" problem by recording additional lines and inserting them into the cutscenes where other characters are voiced. This eliminates a rather jarring issue the console versions had. XSeed also added voices for characters who are voiced in the sequel, but not in the first game. As often as Silent Protagonist Rean (rightfully, goddamn Falcom) gets ragged on, it's kind of an issue with the whole game with a lot of named characters not getting voice acting and Generic Jaeger/Soldier not getting VA in otherwise voiced cutscenes, and it becomes flat-out absurd in CS2, so I'm inclined to say it's purely a budget thing.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:I played trails in the sky for 8 hours and really couldn't get into it. The combat was too simple/easy and the dialogue was not enjoyable enough to make up for it. Despite this, I really want to to try Cold Steel. Does it improve on these aspects? If the issue is that you found the dialogue just not good enough to power through the 95% brain dead combat but good in and of itself, then yeah, Cold Steel on Hard fixes that and it's battle system is the same basic thing but considerably refined so that you're actively encouraged to exploit status ailment weaknesses in every encounter to make things go smoother.

thats not really new, I think Rosine spends like 90% of her free time in CS1 at the church anyway.

Erpy posted:If you missed one already, it's because you failed to play by the universal Trails rule...talk to everyone every time the dialogue changes. Nah, I've beaten CS1 and just have to force myself through the final dungeon of 2 after FC (no computer so I can't play Third), I just didn't know there was a specific time for them or I would have dropped my Nightmare New Game+ rule for at least the school ones.

Erpy posted:Apparantly stacking additional delay quartz on your character and being under the influence of a speed buff raises the chance of a delay effect hitting, despite enemy resistence. I knew the delay quartz stacking part, but speed buffs raise the rate too? That's insanely busted, especially with Fie getting a delay effect on her best craft and final level of the Raven master quartz.

Caidin posted:Cool, thanks for the answers. I kinda took it to mean that they washed out of a real jaëger corps, then made their own. Because real ones are kinda huge badasses, as you'll find out in CS2.

I dunno, I actually like Cold Steel combat (up until the point where bosses are only feasibly vulnerable to Delay) so I kinda feel like FC being 90% Aerial/Hell Gate/WHITE GEHENNA with a side helping of Earth Wall is noticeably worse than CS1 where you have to wait for the busted poo poo like Flame Impact and Delay Cyclone, at least if both games let you skip/turbo the actual animations.

Rean as a teacher is pretty out there, but tiny sensei's whole character was basically doing the work of a dozen people, often including teachers, on her own nonchalantly.

Endorph posted:Towa is a japanese name (well, kind of, there's some towns in japan named that and like two japanese musicians named that) so I always figured the reason for her being so comparatively short is her being partly fantasy-asian in a world of fantasy-europeans. that's literally just a thing i made up based on nothing, though, there's no implication of her having any foreign ancestry. why am i posting about this. It's been a while but IIRC in the festival one of her events has her mention specific that Towa is an unusual name for her to have and that some of her family are actually foreign.

Some Numbers posted:This is actually the biggest deal. Wait for the PC version. Yeah, for reference CS1 PS3/Vita had 10,000 lines of voiced dialogue and CS1 PC has 15,000, and even if the ratio's off it stands out way more than it ever did in CS1 even if there's less Oddly Silent Rean, without going into spoilers.

You don't think 50% more voice acting in a game that's only 70% voiced to begin with isn't worthwhile?

Terminally Bored posted:Finished the game last night. I'm not sure what to think. I appreciate the combat improvements (way, way better than Sky for sure) but it's not why you play Kiseki games for. The story was underwhelming unfortunately. It really didn't help that they crammed all the Things Actually Happening in like the last 30 minutes of the script. The calendar didn't work at all - characters were discussing stuff that happened a month ago like it was yesterday. It was also monotonous - bit of school plot, dungeon, miniboss, bit of town plot, dungeon and a bigger boss, repeated six times. My dude, are you poo poo-talking Laura’s stylistic/impractical heel boots? Also I feel like you’re just looking for reasons to gripe if Sharon using chain ropes to fight a gundam with is dumb but Renne with Hot Pink Giant Robo is A-OK, along with Brooding and Mysterious Super Handsome guy. And witches seem out there when poo poo like the Dominion exist, and Bleublanc/Luciola? Idk, maybe it’s because Cold Steel got me into the games but it sort of seems like how people argue Fire Emblem was never anime when it was really just 90s/00’s anime. I kinda found Cold Steel fairly grounded in comparison to sky since the latter had a magic arc that literally makes dreams come true and a loving dragon

Some Numbers posted:I'm legitimately shocked that you won with regular attacks. How did you deal that much damage? How did you not die from only having two heals? I was like level 68 on Nightmare and managed more or less doing that, it’s basically kinda RNG-reliant though since Morning Moon isn’t an auto-dodge but if the 50% dodge procs, you know, 50% of the time and you’re keeping up your TP by never forgetting the stances it’s feasible.
