Some references and characters from the other games show up. Heck, in the Prologue dungeon (not the endgame one that you start off in) you see a party member from the Trails in the Sky games make an appearance, and it's kind of a spoiler for SC.
>>
>>322144215
exactly
>>
>>322144135
Sara and Crow have hidden link points that are visible when they're party members (more obvious with Crow since he joins for the last 30-40% of the game). Towa might have them too but isn't playable.
>>
>>322144195
You'll miss some references and won't know the details about some characters (like Bleublanc and Olivier), but it's nothing game-breaking.

>>322144215
Nope, it's still worth playing.

They didn't sub victory quotes and its clear the soundtrack was written to have dialogue over it. "Just turn the voices off" isn't a viable solution. The game feels soulless with voices turned off.

I got the game as a gift and am enjoying it, but I don't blame anyone who refuses to buy it due to lack of Japanese voices.
>>
>>322146267
I still expect delays, but it should be months instead of years.

It's a shame that some people can't get past not having the original, Japanese audio because I really like the dub for this.

>>322146835

That's such a cheap, nonsensical comeback.

Video games have changed. I had no problem playing through Trails in the Sky FC with no voices because the game was originally written to not have voice overs. The soundtrack was written to be all the audio stimulation you need.

The soundtrack in Cold Steel is background music. It's written to be spoken over, an accompaniment to the spoken dialogue. That's why even in unspoken scenes, text dialogue is still accompanied with constant sound effects. It feels perfectly fine in those scenes with the sound effects, but when all you have is silence with background music, it feels soulless.

>>322146957

This is also not a valid point. People who are shitposting about something as specific as dual audio clearly care about the game itself. That's why they're complaining. If they didn't care they would shitpost in more blanket, less specific statements, about it being "weeaboo" or "shovelware", but complaining about something like dual audio means they had an interest in buying it, and looked into it further to find that it didn't have dual audio. That's a potential lost sale for Falcom or Xseed.

I already knew too, so I made a point of focusing on him as often as possible. It made the ending and how shattered Rean was pretty good, because anything you do with him once the festival prep begins is obviously an attempt to make a clean break, but he's not very good at it.

Not that guy, but when it's a direct continuation of a game that sold very poorly, and basically requires you to have played another game that sold very poorly and that very few people who played CS1 actually played (SC) and several that aren't localized, I doubt it will do all that well, unfortunately.

There's shit loads to cover in Sen3 since the first two games only opened more questions without answering any.
All they did was covering the civil war and the major developments of said war were already revealed in Ao.

Rean's motivation in CS1...is to find a motivation, which is why he enrolled in Thors. Honestly that is a much more relatable thing to real life (especially in the sort of academy setting they have going) than anything Lloyd has.

also despite the what you'd expect from the setting, Lloyd is way more harem insert/all the girls on his dick than Rean ever is

Lloyd has a goal, a job, is actually smart and pretty much discover the twists before everyone rather than needing to be infodumped and his whole harem aura is played in a pretty funny way

Rean is just a LN protagonist played straight
>>
>>322160443
Both Trails in the Sky games are good. The second TiTS game is widely considered one of the best in the series.

If you like Cold Steel then you owe it to yourself to play through the story of bracers Estelle and Joshua. Prince Oliviert is a playable character and hilarious as fuck

Maybe 4 or 5 for the first game
2 for the second game

Trails in the Sky is like Cold Steel with slower gameplay and better characters/plot. SC is a lot better but you have to play TITS first.

You get the deluxe rod from ranking up from fishing.

I'd assume it's the same for the next ranks.

Just about hit the Nord Highlands.

>>322160443
Some fishing spots only have 3, you have to use groundbait to refresh a spot

After you catch 6 different types you can buy the 2nd rod (earliest chance to get that rod is Chapter 3), and after you catch 12 different types of fish you can trade in for the 3rd rod

Loyd is a people magnet, that's true, although the game mocks him for that.

In Sen2 every girl suddenly jumps Rean dick for little to no reason (the maid, the princess, that black rabbit girl, etc...)

Crossbell is automatically better because it has Estelle and Renne and the Cold Steel games don't.

>>322166041
EP is determined by the cost to open each Orbment slot. Characters with less lines get more EP. The trade-off is that in the Sen games, that's the only bonus to having a single line since the orbment system is fucked.

On the other hand, it might be interesting to have played Cold Steel first and then get to play a game with Oliviert as a playable character.

That's not so much what I'm talking about, since he could tell Joshua was smitten with her from the get-go. It's more the fact that you can tell he's a pretty shitty father from the fact that his own daughter thinks he's a complete fuck-up. It's implied that he spends too much of his time on work.

You can skip just any animation by pushing start.
>>
>>322168114
You can skip them, but you also don't need to grind. I've been skipping battles left and right and so far the game feels like easy mode even though I'm playing on hard. There's always a shortage of mira and sepith but it doesn't matter because you can just spam crafts in every battle.

chapter 7 is the last chapter. You're getting there.

>>322173724
No use s-break when there is exclamation mark.
>>
>>322173724
>When the next turn is a guaranteed crit
>When an enemy is about to get a turn and you have a party member at low health
>When you generally want to kill something fast

Etc.
>>
>>322173724
Critical + STR50% + 200 CP for most damage for S breaks.
When an enemy uses arts, use stun crafts or crafts which cancel arts such as Rean's Autumn leaf cutter
>>
>>322173870
When is there an exclamation mark? You mean in turns where enemies have an assured crit?
>>
>>322173808
Why don't you get it on PS3.
>>
>>322173724
You basically want to use an S-Break any time you want to do large amounts of damage without waiting for your turn to come up.

Personally, I rarely use S-Crafts when it is that character's turn. Seems like a waste. For example, if it's Rean's turn, I won't just use his S-Craft. I will do a normal attack AND THEN immediately use the S-Break.

>50 hours
>Just finished chapter 5
How? I'm playing on nightmare most of these chapters are pretty short and the boss fights never take more than 5 minutes.
>>
>>322173967
Yeah. Sorry about that.
>>
>>322173967
well, yeah, you can use it to steal turn bonuses as well, but there isn't always a turn bonus TO steal. So holding onto 100-200 CP and waiting for turn bonuses is not always the best way to go, in fact it's kind of a waste.

I use them quickly and then start building up CP again.
>>
>>322173724
You generally want to S-Break when you can get benefits from taking an enemies spot on the turn bar.

Lets like there's an attack boost for the enemy and you S-Break before the enemy's turn and get it yourself. That's what I mean.

He's probably talking to every NPC. I have around that much time by chapter 5 talking to most NPCs and doing most of the quests.

>>
>>322174067
I'm trying to get all the trophies in a first playthrough
>>
>>322173724
Just get buff before you S break. Crit is nice but it doesn't really matter since even non-crit kill most things in a few hits even on nightmare.
>>
>>322174115
>You generally want to S-Break when you can get benefits from taking an enemies spot on the turn bar.

YES, using them to steal an opponent's spot on the turn bar is a good idea. HOWEVER, you don't want to hold onto all that CP and wait for an opportunity to do that. It is a waste.

The fact is that S-Crafts/S-Breaks do A LOT of damage. You want to use them ASAP, then immediately start building up more CP so you can do them again.
>>
>>322174294
You can't.
>>
>>322174252
Do not sit on 200 CP waiting for a turn bonus to come up. That's fucking stupid. S-Crafts/S-Breaks do a lot of damage - Way more than any other attack you can use. Use your S-Breaks as soon as you can and then start building up CP so you can use them again.

>>322174469
No I meant like all the possible trophies you can get in a first playthrough
>>
>>322174497
So I should always use S-breaks or S-crafts the instant I reach 100 CP? Is the 200 bonus negligible?

So what's everybody's end game level?
>>
>>322174252
The former. Ideally but really it's up to you as how you want to use S-breaks.

Admittedly I'm thinking more SC then CS when it comes to this..because CS is generally considered an easier game anyway.
>>
>>322174636
>Should I use them immediately at 100 CP?
Not necessarily. There IS a significant boost at 200CP.

If you need immediate damage, use them at 100CP. If you don't then build up 200CP and then use them. If you see a turn bonus like a critical attack or something coming up, THEN you can sit on it for a little bit and use it at the right time.

Otherwise, sitting on it and waiting for a critical turn is dumb and a waste.
>>
>>322174636
If you think 100 cp can kill then use it but I tend to wait until it's 200 cp since Alisa's stupid craft and items are too broken.

Falcom said that they're interested in bringing Tokyo Xanadu.

At worst I hear talk about the story if anything.

How well does this game run on the vita?

Everytime I get a game on the vita these days its laggy as shit.

Could just be my vita tho.

It's comfy and I can pause the game whenever I want.

S-breaks have a very long delay. Don't use them unless you can afford to have that character out of the fight for a while.

Millium joins Class VII in the second half of the game and stays with you for the remainder.

Pretty good. Not their finest effort ever, but obviously excellent by the standards of most games.

>There are "people" on /v/ RIGHT NOW who unironically care about, or even notice, framerate in a turn-based RPG
Is it autism?
>>
>>322176358
Dude at times the text starts loading slowly. It's noticeable as fuck.
>>
>>322176479
I've noticed no such issues. The worst issues I've noticed are the loading times and that's not a framerate issue.

Must be autism.

All the shit flying on screen during the festival was pretty bad. Walking around was like a slide show.
>>
>>322176564
Different anon here, and it's pretty obvious. The FPS drops significantly in a lot of panning shots in cutscenes and a couple other spots. In gameplay it's usually fine apart from some of the final dungeon.
>>
Just an advice for the people who will do Cold Steel 2 next year and therefore need to prepare themselves

Do Millium's links, seriously.
The ending of Cold Steel 2 is much stronger if you did her links in both games
>>
>>322176781
What if you didn't do them in the first game but do in the second? Is it worth another playthrough of the first game?
>>
>>322176781
But I hate her
>>
>>322176983
>But I hate her
How can you not love that crazy goofy face

Millium is the best

Oh yeah, was the drama-cd translated in any form?
It's really important to Cold Steel 2, they keep referring to the events that happened in it in the first half of the game

Really then why did the game end with Alisa telling the MC that "When we meet again, I'll tell you everything that's in my heart"?
>>

You can make out with the blond tsundere if you did her links
You also get to hug the nerd

It didn't come with the English release? It actually really important since it takes place just a bit before the concert and Rean goes back home to meet his parents. It does tell you a lot about his life and he even gets a letter from his master.

They aren't really explicit about it, but there are some pretty qt moments between the MC and Alisa, especially if you go out of your way to build up their links.
>>
>>322177567
I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
Honestly considering how important these events are they should have been in a game, making a drama-cd not only canon but also relevant to the events isn't the best idea ever
>>
>>322177635
links like persona stuff?
>>
>>322177897
Sadly, yes.
>>
>>322177897
Yes but the characterization is much more in depth
>>
>>322177897
Somewhat yeah.
>>
>>322177897
I never played persona, so I can't say for sure, but they have advantages in battle and get built up through using them in battle and through 'bonding events' which allow you to spend time with other characters to build your relationship.

I guess there are some similarities to persona, but I wouldn't really know.
>>
>>322177762
What makes it worse is that in the second game it seems to assume you've already met them already .But muh special editions.

cant link to it since 4chan thinks it is spam for some reason, so just google it
