Is it only because all screenshots released have the camera zoomed in, or did they finally get rid of the stupid 3D portraits in Sen 3?

There are also these, with subtitles at the bottom instead of dialog boxes. Can see it in the trailer too. Maybe reserved for more animated scenes?

Older screenshots had black dialog boxes.

Also I only recently noticed the black outline around characters. It's a good look, even low budget Falcom is better at 3D anime characters than some other companies.

>>182062967
This is probably for significant cutscenes, and >>182062778 is probably for everything else.

Mueller at least deserves to be higher. Julia has absolutely shit craft diversity

>>182064570
That image has been floating around since release time, probably just not been updated after initial observations

>>182064570
Julia's craft shit might be boring but she has a decent enough overall spread. Attack Order is a great buff for chain teams and she has an instant cast Earth Wall. She also has the best chain attack in the game since all of her attacks double strike while Mueller's only double strikes on the center target.

Zin's overrated on the list because all he has going for him is his super buff and nothing else. Schera's also a bit underrated too since Heavenly Kiss is really damn good on Nightmare when you want to quick cast arts/spam chains or S-Craft spam.

Play CS2. Cold Steel doesn't really spoil crossbell at all.

>>182074728
Apparently he's a international journalist that used to work on the Crossbell newspaper, before getting wounded and losing his sight, winning an international prize in the process. He also shows up in the 3rd, first during prologue from it, inside the airship, and the other time during Schera's moon door, inside the cathedral where he talks about his condition.

Also the author of the Erobonia fairy tale books, about witches and vampires.

>>182077021
Witches have been pretty relevant lately and vampires are about to start showing up. Be interested to see if he shows up in CS3.

>Author of books, relevant to fairy tale like creatures, or people in that world, which hints that he may show up in Sen III once again.

That would kinda make him part of the group of characters who has shown up in all 3 arcs so far, even if his first appearance wasn't all that relevant, but the characters still took attention to him even when he wasn't anything but a simple blind NPC.
There's no way this guy is just a simple journalist, is there?

>>182078296
I mean nightmare as in theres 3 different arenas, the nightmare arena is the final one, its accessible on every difficulty but still hard as fuck.

From any game or just Zero because if any game its MY SOUL AND SWORD ARE AS ONE, RIGHTEOUS WITNESS

It's crazy how some Kiseki enthusiast I never heard of made the bulk of the editing progress for Zero in the last few weeks. At this rate we might have a polished version of Zero by 2019.

As someone who defended them before, it's annoying that those three individuals weren't more upfront about the project basically being on hiatus before. Now it just seems like they picked it up to keep some of the heat off XSeed's back, while secretly waiting for someone like Laurafag or XSeed themselves to reach out the entire time.

Lloyd and Rixia for best combo craft, and Randy's Berserga for best single S-craft.

Man I was sure some s rank showoff would steal my thunder again at the end but that was much better than I could ever hope. Patter-Matter is truly the best. Now on to Ao. Hopefully with the spreadsheet and my mediocre moon skills I won't miss out on much.

>>182083285
Let's take Cold Steel for instance. Even if it's a late port there's clearly a market for these type of games on Steam. But what do they do? They announce it and then it's silence for weeks. Steam page goes up the month of its supposed release and there's not even a proper hype trailer.

How independent is Xseed, they're supposed to be a subsidiary of Marvelous which earlier this week had to close one of its subsidiary anime studios. Is it possible the radio silence is due to financial issues?

>>182084397
>Is it possible the radio silence is due to financial issues?
No. The whole year long delay of SC made them lose all self esteem and never ever ever give a release date until the game is literally 100% ready and set to release when Gabe presses the button.

Doesn't excuse the radio silence though. You can go on their forums and you'll have the staff just dance around the subject and be all "Oh Gee it will be out sometime this month but not anytime soon". Then when it gets delayed til September we won't get jack shit aside from "Due to issues it is delayed. See you the day before release!".

>>182085236
For sure. It's strange how quiet they can be, and there's a certain irony to their reputation of being a more open/transparent publisher. At best they just dump an overview of what they game is and that's kinda it.

>>182086548
They have that reputation because you can argue with them on twitter, bigger companies tend to keep their employees on a tighter leash for linked accounts.

>>182086093
He's been doing it for like 9 years now for every game. He even does this on unheard of gaming forums and articles. Somethings legitimately wrong with him

Fuck. Finally an update from XSeed. Had to dig through their forums for this shit.

Also, to briefly address the OP: we are aware of the issues you've noted, and we have plans to address them (a lot of what's there right now is more or less just placeholder so that we could put the Steam page up in advance, and will most definitely be revised in the coming weeks). I can't say anything more right now, but I will say I really appreciate the detailed writeup, as it really does help put into perspective what a fine line marketing and PR can be, and how easy it is to make missteps in both.

Oh, we're well aware! We just haven't been able to make an all-PC-footage trailer to share just yet due to some technical hiccups on our end, so like I said: placeholder. You can't make a Steam page for a game public without a trailer, so we threw our previous PS3/PC comparison video up as temporary filler until the first full trailer is ready to go. It's not the best trailer for showing off the game to prospective audiences, but it still does show off the game, and should be fine in the interim until we're ready to fill out that page more thoroughly.

Basically, we just figured it was better to have the Steam page go live sooner rather than later, even if it's not quite "complete" yet.

Both from Wyrdwad.

Cold Steel isn't done inhouse so any technical hiccups would not be in their end though. Probably some software issues or just a "oh shit people were pissed?" excuse.

Not a surprise considering the silence. Usually Hatsuu would at least tease something but even from her nothing. And they even sent Seraphna to keep people quiet on the forums.

Someone else doing it isn't going to stop the delay.

I've seen enough delayed launches, awful press releases from the inside and been pressganged into a different department to try and get the product out on time to recognise the meaning of that statement from Xseed.

>>182089663
It's been up for longer than 8 days. And to top it off they were super quick to give a release date for Fate/Extella which comes out this month.

XSeed either has to release it real fucking soon or delay it til next month. They'd be retarded to release both the same week.

Man this spreadsheet is great for looking up annoying kanji and made up words. There's way too many silly mistakes though. Hopefully they got a good editor.

Also I think whoever you picked in zero matters a little after all because I picked randy in ao prologue but was using the elie save and there were some extra cute lines in the station scene that weren't in the spreadsheet. Then again he didn't include any of the flashback ones either so maybe those kind of lines are just located elsewhere.

>>182105157
If you're talking about my save that i posted on the zero pastebin, it's not just for Elie per se, since you get to choose who you spent the last event with, and all of the characters get extra lines so far. Aside from the combo crafts, you probably get extra bonding points with Randy, Tio and Elie too, for the final one in Ao, which luckily can all be chosen so long as you fulfill the requirements. I picked Elie for my final event during the train ride, so i'm not sure if anything extra gets acknowledged aside from the fact Lloyd and Elie stare longingly at each other after their reunion.

>>182105649
Tell the rng to give me trout more often and then maybe it would be okay.

>>182105873
>I picked Elie for my final event during the train ride, so i'm not sure if anything extra gets acknowledged aside from the fact Lloyd and Elie stare longingly at each other after their reunion.
Yeah that. I picked Randy inside the train but the same "lovey-dovey" scene with Loyd-Elie played in the station and since it wasn't in the spreadsheet I assumed it was just because the save had Elie. I could check with a different zero save but I'm too lazy to replay the prologue and it's not that important anyway.

We know or have a likely candidate for all of the Anguis now right?

>>182106506
Nah, i don't think the scene plays if you didn't get enough points with Elie. The extra bits of dialogue, and small scenes are there due to that. In which case, i don't know what picking the scene did. Maybe the points only go for the one you choose? Or maybe there's an specific event for picking a certain person.

FFTA's thing was basically what if the Aureole was actively malicious instead of something that simply went out of control.

Anyone know how to test this? If it works someone could get do a battle translation.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/6m58o2/ao_no_kiseki_psp_translation_tool/

So if I understand what they said correctly, then Phantasma is basically a giant storage device/processing plant for the Aureole?

>>182112989
Actually it's a sub system, responsible for maintaining the "other realities" for the people of the Liberl ark at the time.

>>182113338
So less of a processor and more of a support system for it to dump the alternate realities on while it grants more wishes then?

Chapter 1 of Ao is legitimately boring shit, Chapter 2 of Ao is also largely boring shit but gets good at the end, and from then on it just gets better and better until it hits the series' ultimate climax to date.

That being said, JOPs making Ao sound like the Kiseki to end all Kiseki are pretty funny. It's a great game, like the rest of the series, but also has enough flaws that it doesn't like, shit all over them or anything.

Why

The game will crash if you tried to cook and if there's a high-level chest boss in your pokedex.

Elie has the best blushes in the series

He barely does anything

Is there anyone who can even remotely contain our boy Mayor Dalmore?

well onto the march of the finale, kinda worried about team 2 not having any good casters, but we'll see how it works out

>>182123970
Team 2 has Estelle. She's good at everything.

>>182123970
That's actually a great party selection. I'd switch Agate and Tita to the first team though.

I think party 1 should have have 1 more physical person, but other than that it looks good.

Playing Ys I and enjoying it so far. What games do I play after this? I heard there are remakes.

Napishtim -> Felghana -> Origin -> Seven -> Celceta -> VIII

In Tokyo Xanadu whats the name of the track that plays when you fight the first Elder Greed?

>>182125315
Assuming you're playing Chronicles or one of the other Ys I+II bundles,
>Oath in Felghana
or any version of Wanderers from Ys that isn't SNES
>Dawn of Ys
you can play Mask of the Sun and Memories of Celceta if you want but they're not as good
>SNES V if you really want to try the black sheep of the series
>VI VII VIII
>Origin

no need for any particular order unless you just want to, because Ys is much more gameplay-focused than story-focused and the story is just "you're playing out the adventures written in Adol's journals"
but Dawn of Ys is the most important because it's the best in the series by miles

>>182125683
The very first?

But if you meant the first proper boss past the tutorial, then

>>182125746
He should start with Napishtim or it will be hard to go back to Napishtim's awkward exp scaling and overall game balance after playing Felghana.
