Trails of Cold Steel

Dude shut up you know you love it.

>>14094643
It turns into Code Geass about 30 hours in but otherwise... Welcome to Trails twist endings!

>>14094778
>It turns into Code Geass about 30 hours in
It's not enough for C to exist, it's only truly Code Geass when his identity is revealed by being shot in the face only for his helmet to split perfectly down the middle and fall off.

Was I meant to care about any of the plot of Sen/Coldsteel? It's literally villains fighting villains, both sides backed by secret villains. Just let them all kill each other off.

>>14095054
Falcom doesn't know how to make standalone games without piling on 2 sequels nowadays.

>>14095254
Seriously. Now 3 because Cold Steel II just close the school part at the end but let a lof of unanswered questions and they are making Cold Steel/Sen III

>>14094643
Is this game worth getting? The mechs look cool, and I like the idea of the setting, but Trails in the Sky has yet to make me interested enough to commit myself to it.

>>14097184
Not the anon you replied to, but the world building in the Trails games is honestly GOAT. The world isn't developed by long and potentially boring lectures, but by going around and talking to people, doing side quests, and even the main story helps develop the world.

The setting is incredibly interesting(magitech industrial revolution) and can be very in-depth. Just be warned, at least for Trails in the Sky, you will struggle to care about the actual story for about the first ten hours or so. After that things pick up very nicely.

Great Falcom but let me save next time.

>>14097545
Thankfully it's the result of the story starting slow rather than it failing to capture interest. I liked how natural it felt to get caught up in the main conflict, though, the patience really pays off. Shit snowballs pretty fast.

I'd have enjoyed the robots more if robot combat wasn't effectively rock paper scissors.

Arios a shit. What a fucking emo loser.

September soonish.

Is this a mecha-focused game or a game that happens to have a couple of mecha?

>>14100162
More of the latter option (barring parts of Sen 2), but they're excellent games regardless.

As soon as I'm done playing thru all the Ys games (currently playing VI, then all I have left to play is Seven since I have no way to play Celceta) I'm going to start Trails in the Sky.

I hope I like this series as much as I liked Ys. The only game I struggled to enjoy was Mask of the Sun, but it was still not that bad.

Arios is fucking shit. His words full of regret but his action definitely not. Same with Noel too, how the fuck they can just let her back into party that easy? Even one piece has better writing.

>>14100963
I hope Osborne gets away with everything.

>>14100963
Dieter was actually trying to make an independent Crossbell while Arios was working with fucking Ouroboros, how the hell does Arios get off scot free?

I finally finished Cold Steel for the first time. Why is Ouroboros backing the insurgents who want to kill Osborne now, when in Sky SC Osborne was collaborating with them? Is this explained by Zero/Ao?

And speaking of Zero/Ao it was really annoying me how throughout most of Cold Steel it sounds like real shit was going down over in Crossbell which would have been more interesting to play than the whole load of nothing that's happening in Cold Steel.

Also are the Divine Knights supposed to be Sept-terrions? They're described as pieces of a "great power" and Thomas name-drops them towards the end. Do they combine or something?

>>14101292
>I finally finished Cold Steel for the first time. Why is Ouroboros backing the insurgents who want to kill Osborne now, when in Sky SC Osborne was collaborating with them?
He wasn't. He was making use of their plans, because he can seemingly see the future.

>And speaking of Zero/Ao it was really annoying me how throughout most of Cold Steel it sounds like real shit was going down over in Crossbell which would have been more interesting to play than the whole load of nothing that's happening in Cold Steel.
Yes.

>Also are the Divine Knights supposed to be Sept-terrions? They're described as pieces of a "great power" and Thomas name-drops them towards the end. Do they combine or something?
The Sept Therion (so named because they're guarded by god-beasts, good job Xseed) are just super powerful god artifacts made by the goddess Eidos, each governing one of the seven elements.

The Grail Knights are the church equivalent of the Ouroboros Legion/Anguis

tl;dr ICPO VS magnificent ten

>>14101316
Xseed's terminology is all checked with Falcom though.

>>14102898
>english translations are checked/approved by japanese who don't understand english and needed to outsource the translation in the first place

All translated games' terminology and translations are "checked" and approved by the original creators you stupid nigger. That doesn't make Sieg Tuvai or Raymond Blowning any less retarded.

>>14102898
>>14102909
I'm a translator who has worked on video games. Translation companies frequently say that their terminology and wording has been checked and approved by the original Japanese companies, which they use to cover their asses when fans complain about name changes and such.

The truth is that this applies to all official translations. It's kind of a major premise of an official translation. It's OFFICIAL. By definition, that means the Japanese company approves of the translation.

I don't know if this applies to ALL translation jobs but in my experience only half the time are the foreign-language scripts sent to the Japanese side for approval, and I have NEVER seen them complain or even ask questions about anything. I've talked to people on the Japanese side and they say that they don't even look at them, because they're not fluent in whatever the other language is, while the people handling the translation are. Thus it's assumed that by default the translations are totally fine. It's purely a formal procedure.

I've seen ridiculous changes and mistakes made by other translators, my own mistakes, and changes made by higher up staff who aren't even translators go through without a hitch, simply because the Japanese don't give a shit about the foreign releases. You could probably change the names of all the characters in a game to "nigger" and the Japanese would go "oh I'm sure they have their reasons" and approve it.

"Terminology is all checked with XXX" is not an indication of a good translation, it's just an indication that it's official. Remember all the PS1 era RPGs with duwang tier translations? Those were official too.

>>14102909
>The series is constantly redefining terms even in the Japanese, and sometimes we just happen to come across an innocent or previously unclear term in earlier text that suddenly takes on a whole new meaning thanks to the latest game in the series. Sometimes we learn something from a random NPC, sometimes it’s from a guidebook only available in Japan, and sometimes we just have to straight ask Falcom what the hell something means. Or, you know, we just mess up an already-defined term in some way. It happens.
>That being said, some terms discovered while localizing Cold Steel I and II (or learned thanks to knowledge gained from other games in the series) have clarified certain terms in Trails FC and SC, so we’ve revamped a few terms for the PC version to give fans the best experience they can possibly get.

>>14103002
That's in cases like the Ouroboros leader being referred to as the Master in the earlier games, then Grand Master in the later games after some of the Anguis are also called "master" by their subordinates.

Pointless changes and mistranslations and LOL SO RANDUM memespeak though? Not as much.

Regnard the dragon, who was created by Eidos herself to watch over the Aureole? Ringing any bells? Did you really play the game?

And the Demiurgos had Zeit, but when the original died he was freed from his role and just hangs out around Crossbell.

>>14103037
>>14103050
To be fair, he did a really shitty job of actually guarding the Aureole. Aside from a few offhand mentions that he was supposed to guard it, there wasn't anything particularly memorable to link them.

>>14103236
Possibly because the Aureole doesn't really need guarding thanks to the Liber Ark being stuck in another universe?

>>14103248
And then when that stopped being the case, he continued to sit on his ass doing nothing until Cassius showed up and asked him to help.

>>14103227

Good thing he's not like that in Japanese, huh? Not that you would know, you're just shitposting for the sake of it.

>>14103577
He is in fact exactly like that in the Japanese version. His dialogue is all extremely bland in a ton of the scenes. He shines in a few of them (the duel, near the end, a fair number of the dance scenes) where he's given more exciting dialogue but Rean is boring as shit in Japanese and the plot relies on the other characters to carry it. They improve on it a bit in CS2 but he's still the most boring member of the cast.

>>14104151
[citation needed]

>>14103232
Loa Erebonius was labeled as "The Ashen Power", corresponding to Valimar being the Ashen Divine Knight. Maybe Crow fought a Azure Power?

>We have isolated what causes the bug. The game was hardcoded to 30 fps,and changing it 60 fps can cause stuff like this.>If you really want to get pass that scene using the current EXE (not sure when we will release the next version),you'll have to make a small edit to the EXE with a hex editor. This address is 86901.The bytes there should be 00 00 00 3F. Change that to 00 00 80 3F. This is just a workaround,as cutscenes will go at double speed then (gameplay will still work at normal speed) ,but at least it won't freeze. Of course,you can set the EXE back to normal (or make a copy with this edit) after this cutscene.We have no reports of similar freezes later in the game.

They'll fix it in the next release.

Falcom always does that.

>>14115059
Not that much, few namedrops here and there and only about 3 major characters actually appear,

>>14115059
My friend tells me that the first three hours of Cold Steel spoil everything about a major character from Trails in the Sky, but I haven't played it myself so I'm not sure. Basically if you're planning on playing Trails in the Sky, play it before Cold Steel, but otherwise it's not absolutely necessary.

Sugita never got his chance to hijack falcom radio

>>14109763
So after around 37 hours, I beat the game. I ended up using adol, not-dogi (duren), and frieda. I ended up using the last character far more than the rest, to the point that bosses were incredibly easy just by having a refined weapon with hp steal and spamming the 20sp AoE attack that hits like 7 times per. I never even bothered using other moves besides that because it was just so effective.

I thought club loli was worthless compared to not-dogi, since her moves were all terribly slow and didn't feel all that strong.

I did like that gimmicks introduced early weren't overused, but also were seen again in later dungeons. I do like when that happens because in most games it ends up being a "use it in one dungeon and never again" kind of thing.

Overall I felt the game wasn't a very memorable one, with the final boss fight being especially pathetic.

Also that fish boss can go eat a flying dick, easily the worst boss in the game. It took me over 10 minutes to finally stun the motherfucker at which point he instantly melted despite having nearly full health. Really poor design on that one.

So are they ever going to release the cold steel games on pc? Trails in the Sky is already on Steam but I don't think that has mecha.

As far as I'm aware, no. I seem to recall XSEED saying a while back that the reason they decided to release it before Zero/Ao is because it had no PC port and was therefore tied to console lifespans.

At Falcom's suggestion, no less.

>>14125672

>>14128156
That has to do with contracts anon.

Do you get to control the mechs in battle?

Or is it another lame Xenoblade thing where all the mechs are just enemies?

>>14129354
Yes, yes you do, though MC's mech is shit because it only can slash, punch and kick. Other robots have lasers and beam, also mobile armor. One mecha even has ability to distort dimension.

>>14128156
XSEED doesn't record new audio because they want to. They do it because getting the original audio in the english release would be like getting Giant Robo in a new SRW: yes, it's technically possible, but the license-holder is such a dick about the rights that it would be absurdly expensive.

>>14102919
Some day we're going to live in a world were everyone is proficient in English.

Ofcourse by then the majority of people in the US will speak Spanish because having an official spoken language is racist.

>>14107841
I get the feeling that the people at Falcom still enjoy making games and are proud of their products. Don't see much of that in the Western game industry anymore.

>>14128156
Check the sales numbers for Cold Steel in the West.

So no there is no budget for Japanese VA. Unless you want to make a donation?

>>14129542
That because unlike chara-ani, falcom are really close to their fans. Link related, Kondo enjoying some banter about Sen 2.

With respect to the American Cold Steel cast, they were surprisingly decent.

>>14129542

It's a shame they don't make good games.

Ys V remake when, it's been years since they remade IV

Finally finished sora sc after years of waiting. Damn Wiseman was salty when he lost.

>>14132288
The tragedy of Weissman is that he could never have created the perfect rational Ubermensch that he wanted, he talks all he likes about getting rid of emotion and acting on logic to end all conflict, but he is himself a gigantic asshole who just couldn't resist giving Joshua sadistic orders, a man like that could never create a race of emotionless beings.

>>14131635
You what?

>>14132288
No, he lost because he was salty.

Sora SC and Cold Steel 1 win handheld gaming awards.

Are Elevens still mocking gaijins for enjoying Sen no Kiseki?

>>14137496
Well he really fell apart when he lost. He seemed really broken up about it. As a side note, I hope Kevin won't be charged with assalt.

>>14138105
Kevin is too seasoned for that, the church had compete condiments in him to really rub it in.

>>14137855
Yes

What are the odds of Sora TC being released on schedule without any delays?

>>14143356
Pretty decent, given that Cold Steel came out on time and Cold Steel 2 is on track to come out on time. Remember that SC's delays could be heavily attributed to Carpe Fulgur's fuckups.

>>14100963
>Arios is fucking shit. His words full of regret but his action definitely not.
Stronk Samurai I bet they asked him to repent by helping them to defend the city from the Erebonia invaders.

>Same with Noel too, how the fuck they can just let her back into party that easy?
Lloyd wanted to fuck another qt nothing wrong with that.

>>14143356

It will come when it comes.

I'm more worried about Ao and Zero honestly. Looks like that fan tl fell apart or something.

>>14147609
>Still in progress. If it were to be dropped, we would make a formal announcement and let the chaos begin. We are all just really busy and don't update progress much.
>Version 2 test build almost completed. Around 85% of the lines will have English including most of the main story (entire game).
It seems to be going well enough, cant say about the quality though. Also, the group have already started working on Ao.

So it was just some forum drama then? Looking forward to it then.

>>14148033
Are you talking about the gbatemp forum? Intially people were supportive of the translation, but after the misconception of it being a machine translation, as well as the lead not being an xseed supporter, thread kinda blew up.

Yeah I just kinda skimmed through that. It's good to see that they're still doing it.

The future is looking bright.

>>14148216
It is. And by 2017 after 3rd is out, we'll hopefully be only 1 game behind if the fan tl works out.

Good time to be a kiseki fan.

All in all is this game worth it? Thinking about buying it tomorrow,

>>14149012
Worth it, but you'll be raging at the ending.

>>14149012
Have you played Trails in the Sky?

Some questions about the game.

1. What's exactly brought over if you load the first game save file in the sequel?

2. In regards to #1, I heard that that you get to choose someone in the end of the first game after fulfilling conditions during a certain chapter? If so, is this somehow brought over to the second game?

>1. What's exactly brought over if you load the first game save file in the sequel?
You start off at a higher level with some bonus items, and some scenes are affected by who you choose to dance with at the end of CS1.
>2. In regards to #1, I heard that that you get to choose someone in the end of the first game after fulfilling conditions during a certain chapter? If so, is this somehow brought over to the second game?
Yes. For example if you took Laura to the dance in Sen 1, then in Sen 2 she wants to be your sword, rather than just being a part of Class VII.

>>14149478

So just like in SC? That's really cool.

Do all the girls get something like that?

>>14149478
Ah I see, what if I go through multiple playthroughs? Like I picked Laura in the 1st run but chose Alisa in the 2nd the sequel will just pick the latest one?

>>14149481
>>14149482
Whoever you picked for the particular clear data you're importing I believe.

Specific bonuses are as follows:

Rank A1: Silver Medal accessory (HP+500, EP+50)
Rank A0: Golden Medal accessory (can't be obtained otherwise, HP+1000, EP+100, STR, DEF, ATS and ADF+10)

Rean's level is 69 or lower: 100 of each sepith except mass, Attack 1, Zeram Powder
Rean's level is 70-79: 300 of each sepith except mass, Attack 1, Soul Blur, Zeram Powder
Rean's level is 80 or higher: 500 of each sepith except mass, Attack 1, Soul Blur, Saintly Force, Zeram Powder x2

>>14149489
Cool thanks for the info. I'll just use the 1st clear data for the sequel then the remaining for trophy clearing.

Anyone know how much does CS2 spoil the Zero/Ao?

Thanks for this info. My Rean is at level 69 now, so just a bit more.

>>14149839
Oh wait, just realized i saved master image. Oh well.

Ys vs Kiseki 2 when?

>>14149895
How was the first one?

>>14151954
Pretty much what you'd expect. Fun little crossover fighting game, some decently interesting mechanics, a lazy crossover excuse plot, some entertaining character interactions, Loewe being hideously overpowered. You know, the usual.

>>14152649
Sounds cool. Shame xseed never got around to localizing it.

This is fucking bullshit. Even Loewe and Arianrhod are beatable.

>>14153085
Well it's not really hard to understand. I only played the Adol story and have a very limited grasp of Japanese but in short Adol is summoned to defeat a demon lord, there are others summoned for the same reason but most of them are under the demon lord's control because the world's reason or something was twisted, you go around defeating them and the mascot character restores them to normal. Ys seven characters are bland, Koyasu Olivier a best, Chester wants to beat Adol, Geis or whatever his name was is tsundere for Adol, Lowe is Lowe, business as usual. There's a magic sword that was used by the previous hero to defeat the demon lord ages ago but it's in his fortress now. You go there recruiting more people along the way. You fight Lowe, Chester and Renne in a three on one battle. Mascot character is actually the previous hero with a weird name. you get to the demon lord, he breaks the sword, guy from a game I haven't played shows up and tells you the sword is actually the hope in the heroes' heart. You fight the demon lord in a disappointing final battle and everyone goes home. There are some more stuff I ommited but that's pretty much it. And I think it's the same for the other characters.

Sora The 3rd Evo demo is up.

What's with Falcom and super robots now? Even modern Ys except Seven had some ancient magitek super robots.

>>14157333
Robots are cool. Magic is cool. Magitech robots are cool. They're also easier to get creative designs with than people when a monster can't be the boss. Did I mention they're cool?

Meanwhile falcom posted akatsuki link on their social media. I wonder are they going to regret this.

>>14157328
Anybody tried this yet?
