it is kinda sad that despite going through the trouble of hiring an anime studio and paying them the big? bucks the end result looks worse then when they just quickly cut and panned over a bunch of static art

really weird how 3Hz doesn't try to match Sen's style. They did for TX and Ys 8. it's gotta be a lack of time or money or staff

I'll say nothing more about Sen IV at this stage, other than if XSEED localize it it's REALLY gonna stretch their voice budget.

I thought the CS3 one was decent but this one, uh, wasn't great, yeah.

The cutscenes reach almost Xenosaga levels of length yeah. Not to mention the gigantic cast.

Yeah, from skimming the details it looks like there's at least one cutscene around 2 hours long(!!!), and a fair number of shorter - but still lengthy - ones. And the endgame character selection is just shy of 40 characters, though you apparently need to split them between multiple parties.

As for the OP... I dunno what happened there. It's a completely different style from all 3 other CS games, and as mentioned seems like a creation from multiple years ago.

39 playable characters you can use for the endgame, split into three different parties of 8.

Did we even have 39 playable characters TOTAL before now? (Not counting guest types)

I think we were just short of that.

I think counting only permanent characters of all the previous arcs & games in the Erebonia arc there's like 37? But yeah, the playable cast list is Chrono Cross huge. There's a lot of surprises with who is playable too, about 14 of them are major spoilers.

Cake Attack
Mar 26, 2010

I don't really care about non-specific playable character talk but since I forsee it being an issue going on, I will say i intended this thread to be a place to talk about the game as people play it and not just a spoiler dump so do use spoiler tags and such as you would for any new game.

I have no actual power to enforce this but there you go.

Suikoden has far simpler characters customization mechanics than Orbments, though.

The "hang out with your buddies the night before the big boss fights" the two series share is good, OTOH. What I am saying is that Trails needs more moon-light themed tracks.

The Calvard arc should have your buddies call you and ask you to go bowling, GTA IV style tbh. Make the bonding events more natural instead of artificial and harem-like.

blah blah blah
I’m playing through 3 again before my copy of 4 arrives (need to get a shift on though, only halfway through)!

Definitely a lot of stuff in there that has more meaning the second time around and there’s plenty of foreshadowing for stuff that doesn’t happen in the game. Time to get into “avoid spoilers” mode as I have a really bad habit of reading a couple of lines ahead just before big reveals.

On a more serious note, eff them for having a “collect all treasure chests” trophy while not having a treasure chest collection percentage. If I miss the platinum I’ll be annoyed!!!

Tell your boss "This really cool japanese animu game came out and I want to play it vastly more than working."

That'll get you out of work today.

And tomorrow.

And the foreseeable future.

She's not, just an official cooperator or w/e they call it like the non-bracer party members were in SC since the bracer guild is a terrifying paramilitary organization with no rules that does whatever it wants

The absolute greatest Gilbert moment happens in this game, and it's a shame that a part of its impact will be unavoidably lost in translation.

I swear the game just gave me an impossible sidequest, the next objective for it was to go back to Millicent but by the time you start the sidequest it doesn't let you go back there anymore unless I missed something

I guess Weismann is more in the "want to grind him down to fine white powder" range than punchable?
