psssh...

Should I play TitS before ToCS?

Post the edit faggot.

You should, yes, but you FAR from have to. I never played TITS (got TOCS for my birthday without context) and I enjoyed the hell of out of Cold Steel.

What edit?

I read the CS1 summary to get a refresh and cringed at how bad it was, I am thinking of dropping it, also remembered how boring it was
Aren't they making a 4th entry already? It is clear they just make it as they go

Tokyo Xanadu is on sale. Worth it?

NOBLEPOSTING

Its was pretty fun combat-wise but if you thought Cold Steel was a cringey anime "highschoolers fighting monsters" game then I have to admit that Xanadu is 10x worse

3 ended on a cliffhanger, 4 is gonna be out in fall this year

Alot of the stuff seems lazily made from combat to story (like literal plot ideas from various Trails games comes back here). The cast is ok and the main character doesn't take shit from anyone. The bosses range from ok to covering shit all over the screen. Overall, I still had alot of fun with it but don't expect prime quality.

CS1 and CS2 are two halves of the same whole. They had too much left over shit to cover in one game so they had to split up CS3.

Why are there no black people in this game's universe? The closest we have is Gaius and I'm pretty sure he's like Perubian or something.

Just play Next.

Because there don't need to be.

My cute wife Towa is wonderful.

I love her.

>Emma that high

I'm 40 hours into it, its pretty fun but not a GREAT game, its a good game.

Best girl coming through

Midget.

Post Altina in that Sen 3 bodysuit

...

I just recently bought this entire series on steam cause why not. Starting from trails in the sky what am I in for?

I don't have many of those, Should get the ones from that one bonding event

Is trails 2nd ever gonna get fucking cheaper than $19.99? I paid $9.99 for tits1 and it felt like the perfect price for it.

For the people that played the translated Zero, was it ok? Zero is a massive game and I can be sure that the editing wont be finished anytime soon so I might just play it right now with Ao coming out soon.
I can handle some strangely translated dialogue once in a while but is the entire game like that?

It's playable and understandable, but not gourmet by any means

Xseed probably feels like it wouldn't significantly increase the sales because you need to have finished FC to get into SC.
Personally I paid the full price for all Trails games and was fine with it. They're some of my favorite JRPGs.

Christ, I get that its a PSP game but these filters aren't necessary.

because Japan doesn't have to cater to niggers like Americans do

Yes, if you haven't played Ys VIII. It's decent fun with enjoyable characters, alright combat, and Falcom seal of quality music. Ys VIII blows it out of the water in terms of gameplay though, I can't go back and I'm glad I played TX first.
Also, the girls are among Falcom's best.

I guess, but there's no way I'm gonna pay twice what I paid for the predecessor. Not a chance in hell. Guess i'll be waiting, or I just won't play it.

Sorry, I just saved that image for the line

>Also, the girls are among Falcom's best.
At least post an example of them then

FWIW SC is probably 1.5x as long as FC and the story ramps up in a huge way. A lot of people consider it the best of all Trails games.

SC is a significantly longer game with more content.

>he thinks Rion and Sora don't share the spot for top girl
You're an absolute queer my man

The editing has been at over 50% since December so they might get it done by late summer.
Anyway, it's completely playable as is and you're not going to miss any story points or not understand what the characters are saying, but it's not something I would call acceptable from an official release.

She is not

Sora is boring as fuck though.

A man who can't own his mistakes has no right to make the call on who's best

>It is clear they just make it as they go
Actually the entire plot of the entire Trails series was written all the way back between 2000-2004, they only just fill in the details as they go.

>Aren't they making a 4th entry already
Yes, but it's not really a "from scratch" thing. Falcom as a really bad trackrecord of overestimating themselves and end up having to split their games up a lot.

Trails in the Sky FC and SC were meant to be one game.
Trails to Zero/Ao were meant to be one game.
Trails of Cold Steel 1&2 were meant to be one game.
Trails of Cold Steel 3& soon to be 4 were meant to be one game.

The reason why Falcom pumps out Cold Steel games really quickly is because they reuse assets all the time simply because they take place in the same place and they already have the general gist of it done to begin with.

As far as I know the only reason CS3&CS4 got split up was because Chinese localizers would refuse to localize a game that huge and a most of Falcom's overseas fanbase is Chinese.

>being this butthurt
I'm just perfectionist. Sora is far from perfect and thus doesn't fit into that.

>cold steel could have been two really long games

Adventure between brother and sister. Have fun user.

If you want, there's a patch that adds Japanese voices to the game from the Evo version, and others that add Japanese battle voices to the games.

If you want the Japanese battle voices here:

FC: mega.co.nz/#!nksFXIyQ!MKScY24BAWbYN07zOYuOGk6oowdHzSFmpjt-x-apvw4

SC: mega.co.nz/#!ypdWFZKK!6An-WzWbHLyoC-CkrAbS60JiOXxFXTKsGupRwuwhM-M

The 3rd: mega.nz/#!r9cTlBhB!IY_wAEz-UJQsoln8ftB4EJY5XshC_klEc3cuBU-oduo

You add the files in the game folder, and in the options menu you can swap between Japense, English and OFF.

You're forgetting that Ys 1 and 2 were supposed to be one game, as were Dragon Slayer: Legend of Heroes 1 and 2.

A perfectionist wouldn't have needed to delete and repost in the first place

You can't be perfect but you can strife to as close as possible

keep posting Rion

Please remember to bully the lady knight.

Fine, whatever

Ah yes. This intro for CS2 reminded me of everything I hate about Cold Steel. Compare the intro to SC to the intro to CS2.

The CS2 intro is great though?

>t. Animeshitter
Modern Falcom openings fuicking suck. They went full on idolshit anime OP style and it is a joke.

Still better than CS3's opening

...

It's literally no different than the kind of opening Trails in the Sky the 3rd was. Get your ears checked or at least try to keep your nostalgiafag contrarianism in check.

What are the chances XSEED will buy the translation from them and release an official version?

When was the last Falcom OP you liked?

Just got to her first scene in the electronics store and I have the suspicion she's possible best girl, am I wasting my whatever points doing her events or what?

10%

There's nothing wrong with it faggot. Trails the 3rd and Ao are my favorite Kisekis, and even i don't think Cs2's OP is bad.

It´s still a great intro, Zero and Ao had that "anime intro" thing too before CS and I bet you don´t hate those games. Now if you want a bad intro go watch CS3, now THAT is bad.

She's the best girl and very worth it. Keep going.

Sorry I'm not talking about the anime intro. I'm talking about Rean babbling on for 10 fucking minutes about 'muh friends...' in the form of some of the most hack writing ever.

Ao release when

With that I can agree

Her events are great and she's an incredible character. She's also a party member so no you're not wasting them. Sorry to say, but you can't waifu girls in that game
Kou is for Shiori
There's literally nothing wrong with friends being central to a character's development.

I'm 7 hours in with CS2 and I feel that I'm getting big spoilers from whatever the fuck is going on with Crossbell.
Should I wait for the Ao translation or can I finish this?

Rean gives speeches every time you give him the opportunity, what were you expecting.

>There's literally nothing wrong with friends being central to a character's development.
It is when you're a sappy cunt spouting hero speeches all the time.

He's too much on the poetic side, but he is pretty much a depressed fuck who found the class to be good for him, so it's not weird he'd be hung up on them, especially when he just found out he spent a month sleeping, while his friends stayed behind to get fucking killed by a giant robot they can't beat on foot.

You're not going to get spoiled any more than you already are if you keep playing. They really do a damned good job of not letting you in on what's really going on over in Crossbell.

Man it always blows my mind when I see people who complete these games in such a small amount of time. Maybe it's just because I'm a fag who loves talking to everyone, doing all the sidequests and just exploring shit. I only just started chapter 5 for Nothin personnel 1 too, how fucking long is this game? It's pretty fun, but I enjoyed the cast for TiTS much more. However, seeing some recurring characters and events mentioned from TiTS really melts my heart.

While the lack of a grid in combat is nice, I don't like the over-simplified quartz system in Cold Steel. Having to use dedicated spell quartz is so shit, what's the fucking point in the line system anymore? Also, characters gain massive stats with every level, it's nuts and I'm rolling in so much sepith, I don't know what to do with it all. You gain CP and EP way too easy, I don't even bother using basic attacks either. Every character seems to just shit out debuffs and status effects too. Everything's just way too easy.

This, sadly

Your understanding of Crossbell events will remain exactly Zero.

I want to impregnate Tio!

Rean is only sappy because he's compensating for being progressively dying inside.

...

Sara!

I was mad I couldn't go for Sora but I like Kou having his own love instead of mine. Besides, it's cute that the cast sort of gets paired off.

>Rean gives speeches every time you give him the opportunity

Yes and they're some of the worst parts of Cold Steel.

>tries to go incognito in casual wear
>shows off her cute belly in it like some cheap whore

All Tio lovers are my friends!

You're under arrest.

Her initial interaction with Kou at the school gate set my sensors off so that's cool.
>Sorry to say, but you can't waifu girls in that game
Shit, oh well.

nah they reuse assets in all their game cause they second rate rpg developers.

I talk to everyone, but i don't take that many hours to beat the games on my end. I think FC took me around 45 hours, SC was 75 or so, the 3rd i started using cheat engine to speed up the game, so i'm not sure, but my final time was 60 hours or so i think.
Cold steel 1 was around 84 hours, and Zero was at 80 too.

I am at chapter 4 of Tokyo Xanadu and... I am really liking it! I am a sucker for japanese delinquent/yazuka stories and it is this chapter that really got me invested in the story.

I am probably just biased, because I love this kind of story. The other chapters were pretty good too, but this has been my favorite.

Basically I am saying I am surprised by this game in a good way.

...

I completed 3rd in about 54 hours on hard doing every side quest, the thing is that I used the turbo mode everytime I could lol.

The game comes with so many free item DLCs that just break the game from the start, it's ridiculous. I'm not even gonna touch them to not take away from the fun of it.

I saw the ending of Xanadu and dropped it at chapter 5.

I'm on chapter 8 right now, Shio is literally Shit IMO, I hate slow characters.

Tio would make a great girlfriend

I have good news for you, the game gets a lot better from Chapter 5 onward and just keeps getting better.
The ending is great though. Kind of cheap, but ultimately heartwarming.
I want to hug her after she beats me in Pom with a 30-chain

I want to cum on that smug.

>The ending is great though

Eh I guess that's your opinion. Didn't jive with me.

Which ending?
