Its easy as fuck to patch in Japanese voices and some of the jap voices like Estelles are fucking awful. You jap only fags are the biggest cucks, I can understand with anime because I generally only watch subbed but with a game with such a very small amount of voice acting it hardly makes a difference.

You could have one default portait for Evo and it would still convey more emotion simply on the fact its fully voiced. You get more from hearing Tita's mom absolute hatred for Agate whenever shes loses it or the payoff moment with Renne in Zero, or Randy's parts in Ao, etc.

Protip for the three PC Trails games: find your saved game folder in C:\Users\(Username)\Saved Games\FALCOM
It'll be ED6 for FC, ED_SORA2 for SC and ED_SORA3 for the 3rd.
Open up the .ini inside. Find the line FullAntiAlias=0 and set it to 4. Save. Set .ini file as read-only.
This will improve the anti-aliasing in addition to any AA settings you may force through your graphic card settings.

Good question. This setting alone, curiously, has a significantly more positive impact on the jaggies than forcing 8xEQ SSAA through Radeon settings alone.

If you're going for that, might as well adapt CS2 without CS1. Unless you just want to focus on Legram or something.

I still need to finish First Chapter.

I was enjoying the story but combat was getting tedious so I started skipping the random encounters which made me underleved for the forced encounters which made them even more tedious and everything started resisting the Confusion ability which is how I'd been cheesing most fights so I just stopped. I'm a terrible person.

Same screen with AA off in Radeon settings. Unlike the screen on the deck of the ship, the AA in Radeon settings is having a dramatic impact. This is very strange behavior, where forcing AA through graphic card settings is working on some screens but not others.
The .ini setting mentioned >>375884348 seems to work on all screens.

>>375885803
It's also the best arc to animate overall. Zero is the most "complete" of the three first games of their respective arcs. FC ends on a big cliffhanger and CS has two first games that have twice as much filler as Zero or FC. So if you adapt CS1, you end up adapting half a story and if you don't have the funds/time/whatever to adapt CS2 you don't get the other half of the story and even if you do, you miss out on CS3 which is where all the important shit of the arc is going to happen anyway. If you adapt FC and can't adapt SC, you leave people on a massive cliffhanger. If you adapt Zero, there are some major loose threads but the main plot has been resolved. Zero is also the most exciting of the three, so it's the most likely to be popular. It also already has an established audience because of its similarities to FMA, it has a unique style and setting compared to CS (which would blend in with the other ten thousand harem light novel adaptations of the last decade) and FC (which has a style that hasn't been done a while in anime, but is still more common than Zero's), so it's the most likely to succeed as an adaptation.

>>375886764 and >>375886251 look identical. It appears as if the .ini setting FullAntiAlias=4 may be overriding Radeon AA settings which are intended to override application settings. Bizarre.

I have no idea if NVidia cards will display this same strange, inconsistent AA behavior.

Rean's nonsensical self-loathing was pretty bad.

Funny thing is, he's got every right to be a troubled teen AFTER the events of CS2 and maybe after CS1. His inner, self-imposed suffering and isolation make no sense and served nothing but to be pointless drama. Instead of focusing on problem that happened way before with his useless sister, he would be better off worrying about the actual problems of his friends being in danger.

She tried that with Renne but she gave Estelle a dose of harsh reality.

The thing about Estelle is that she's easy going, but won't give up, and wants to help others who are in need of help. Renne's first rejection just served to enforce on her that she needed to reach out to her somehow, but simply saying "hey, there guys who took care of you and took you away from your awful life are bad people, joins us instead" wasn't gonna cut it.

You have to try and see it from her point of view really:

>Parents leave me somewhere and take off
>suddenly taken by some bad people who make her do lots of nasty shit
>This goes on and you also see other children go through the same
>Suddenly the organization shows up and saves you from it
>Teaches you how to fight, gives you a home and an actual life compared to before
>In comes the stupid idiot tomboy who took away one of your friends and savior and expects you to turn your back on the people who saved you just because she thinks it's the right thing to do

Admittedly, she is smart enough to realize she is most likely doing stuff that will affect innocent people, but to her those people are her family, and Estelle just shit on them with her own words. It's a little understandable.
>>
>>375887658
Richard acts amazed and says how strong Estelle is while admitting that he's weak. Played straight as fuck.
>>
>>375887658
>>375887917
I think it's played straight, but not because of the friendship speech shit.

It's more like:

>Richard sees that Estelle and Co have the right mindset for helping people and probably helping the country move forward, but still thinks it's not nearly enough and still wants to follow his plan along
>For Rean it's the fact that he was such a brooding mess, and "leave me alone" character, who then decided to rely on others to achieve his objectives instead of isolating himself, while still being good at leading them

You're looking at it too literally.

Yes, he says Estelle's character is strong, and that were everyone as strong as her he would turn back. the entire point of what Richard did was because he believed the country didn't have anyone strong enough to lead them in Cassius' absence. He basically says he has to continue with his plan because of that, even though he admits Estelle is stronger than him.

Here's the thing.

When we disregard gameplay elements and the sarcastic and funny quips both Estelle and Rean give out, Estelle gets the upper hand in character mostly because the setting sort of makes sense for it. Estelle also gets backing because she's involved in a fully-fleshed out love story that also has her have better moments with her corny love lines. Whereas Rean mostly suffers from problems like >>375888639
>>375887062
His main source of trouble involving his ogre form is poorly thought out and CS3 looks so delectable to me because he has every right to be a bit insecure and shaky about what he's fighting for after CS2. Doesn't help that the "canon" Alisa romance still bores the living daylights out of me.

Of course not, every game up until Ao made massive improvements over the previous, there was no downgrade until CS where they through out a ton of mechanics to dumb the game down for casual retards.

Estelle is a jack of all trades you can turn into anything you want with orbments. Pretty much a sensible. I mean, she could've had Earth locked slots like Zane which made him just so unimpressive all-around. "I'm the tanky guy in a game where you don't really need a tanky guy!"

and yeah she had some AoE group support arts which were also good for pumping up the group. SLAP AGATE ON HIS ASS AND TELL HIM HE'S A BIG GUY
>>
>>375889482
What features? It removed all out attacks, party member combo attacks, and multi-craft. Everything in Coldsteel was added in Zero and Azure.
>>
>>375889864
It took me a bit to effectively break the game, cut me some slack.
>>
>>375889845
I'm a different guy. I just came to the thread to talk about the 3rd.
>>
>>375889967
Exactly. CS removed features from Zero and Ao and added nothing. It replaced combo crafts with the link system which is a win-more mechanic that adds no depth to the game in any way.
>>
>>375889949
>Estelle is a jack of all trades you can turn into anything you want with orbments
That's nice and all but she has awful stats too
>>
>>375889356
Because they seem more antiquated than CS and going any further back is painful since I don't really care for turn-based combat in the first place. I've just played 5,000,000 games with some flavor of turn based and it all blends together.
>>

>>
>>375888881
>Estelle also gets backing because she's involved in a fully-fleshed out love story that also has her have better moments with her corny love lines.
Their love story wasn't anything to write home about
>>
>>375890247
Nope. It removed support attacks entirely, it replaced combo crafts with a system that objectively adds no mechanical depth to the game, it removed sepith count entirely, and it removed combo S-crafts entirely.
>>
>>375889949
Her stats stop her from being actually good. Joshua is also pretty much an all rounder, but he's super good.

They had the right idea with Zero/AO. Lloyd is also an all rounder, and has the exact same quartz slots position as Estelle, but instead of giving him shit stats, they actually made him have decent stats, and neat crafts.
>>
>>375889949

But Estelle is still not particularly great at anything. Her stats are not amazing so she can't fill any given role all that well. Maybe if she had an excellent S-Craft like Phantom Raid, Dragon Dive, or Grail Sphere, then that could redeem her, but hers aren't that great, either.
>>
>>375890383
I have no played cold steel yet but, from gameplay i saw, the sepith still falls off the enemy you beat. By no counter do you mean that we don't get to see how much quartz we get per battle?
>>
>>375890363
It wasn't but it still completed a part of her character. That entire reunion scene with Estelle and Joshua carries more weight than any of the reunion scenes in CS.

No. Remember how quartz had sepith values which you had to combine to get arts? In Cold Steel quartz are just a dumbed-down version of Materia where the arts are attached to the quartz.
>>
>>375890570
I'm 26 faggot, sorry I can't stomach another "turn based game but with one gimmick to mildly differentiate it from others".

I'm sure TitS has a decent enough turn based system and has a good story but fuck, I just can't get behind it anymore. Turn-based fatigue. Just like how I can't stand another WW2 shooter or shooters really at all anymore.

She doesn't have awful stats, she just have all rounder stats.

compare her stat:
HP - ***
EP - ***
Str - ****
Def - ****
Ats - ***
Adf - ****
Spd - ***
Dex - ***
Agi - ***
Mov - ****
Rng - ***

To Joshua:
HP - ****
EP - ***
Str - ****
Def - ***
Ats - ****
Adf - ***
Spd - *****
Dex - ***

Mov - ****
Rng - *

Joshua isn't an all rounder, he's clearly offense oriented with rather low ADF, which was made up with higher HP vaules.

Estelle's weapon have lower base damage though. But that becomes a non issue since ultimate weapons gets max damage roll.
>>
>>375890761
The problem with being an all-rounder is that damage calculations in Trails are additive rather than multiplicative. So someone with 1000 strength attacking someone with 900 defense does significantly less damage than someone with 1000 strength attacking the same target. It's why buffs have such a dramatic effect in the game.

Meant for that second one to be 1100, not 1000.

That was more because other characters have damage multipliers on their more single target focused abilities.

Estelle's crafts tend to have multiple effects and AOE. I guess hard break doesn't have much noticeable multiplier because of the AOE attribute.

Hurricane have rather low base damage because it have massive AOE AND you can aim it pretty much anywhere on the field, unlike many other AOE craft which requires a target.
>>
>>375892136

Agate if you want fights to be arguably faster, Schera if you just want the hotter body and smoother personality for a part of the story.
>>
>>375892361
Agate actually combos well with Schera since pretty much all of his crafts have massive delay after usage (despite the fact he does have rather high base speed)

I don't mind trying it out if it's at least marginally different, but if it's another 50 hours of white gehenna and running around, then you're completely right, I wouldn't like it.

It was released yesterday, on the 3rd, fittingly enough.

Yes, good goy, believe the greedy jews from XSEED. Meanwhile based Aksys and NISA give us dual audios for both Tokyo Xanadu and Ys VIII.

This is the silliest argument to make. Go complain to Falcom's voice actor licensing contract that would cost the XSeed more than the game itself to bring over.

NISA has butchered every game they've localized since the beginning of time, you fucking moron. 90% of their games have lazy shit translations, lack of dual audio (or dual audio with some scenes of japanese voices removed to make space for english ones), censorship, arbitrary changes to names and script for no reason, bugs, crasehes, and even literal console-destroying bugs.

I'd argue that NISA's translations are more accurate than XSEED, but boy when they decide to be liberal they go off the fucking rails, case in point the Mugen Souls replacing a characterization scene with "WOW WHAT PERVERTS WOULD WANT TO SEE US NAKED IN A BATH" because of the bitching at censorship.
XSEED are actually masters of localization in which they choose appropriate parallels.

The difference between them and NISA is that unlike NISA their translations aren't fucking garbage 99% of the time, just bad or overly-literal, and to my knowledge they haven't delivered literal broken releases like NISA consistently has.

Their shitty meme translations are only a tiny part of the considerable problems. Without shitty meme localizations they just deliver a bad translation with occasional memes, passive-aggressive rewrites, and censorship a la Nintendo of America (while lying to their customers about it). Except unlike NoA you can expect a lot of bugs along with that.

You sound like a NISA employee though, that's the only kind of person who would defend them other than 12-year-olds who weren't around when their most egregious offenses occurred.

Well, in NISA's defense they did patch it, but all their PC releases have been bugged on release as well. They're technically playable now.

>>375903230
I'd make a claim that Danganronpa really wasn't okay, in that they really sucked out a lot of life in that script by making it too by the book, but as expected of NISA that they can't into tone. The one game where it'd be fine to be quirky and they had to be boring, also 超高校級 =/= ultimate

>How so? They're the same shit, NoA just has more money.
NoA censor harder anon. Even the censored release of Criminal Girls had stuff left in. (basically all the unlockable CGs)

They fucked up the first Disgaea game yes, but they did patch it. Only expect patches on PC if you're scared of bugs from them.

I just started the first TiTS game recently. I've just sneaked aboard the air ship to find the secret base of the Sky Bandits. I'm fucking loving everything about this game although the magical orb setup with the lines still confuses me. It's such a pleasure to play and the dialog and story is very nice.
Glad I decided to buy it from lurking the threads over the past week or so.

I feel like I'm cheesing the monster fights by purposely attacking them from the rear to get preemptive strike every time. Even if I miss, I just run from battle and try to get a preemptive strike again. Feels almost dirty.

Estelle: cheerful at all times even in the darkest moments, she supposedly takes people away from their darkest moments, very warm and approachable, very tomboyish at times and prefers outdoor adventures than being inside the house, she's very forgiving too, and would probably be a great mother one day, her arc develops into going from clumsy tomboy to actual leader who has her head together in order to accomplish her objectives, she usually brings people together and has a overall personality of being good with people and sometimes children (though not so much with young boys)

i think i can say more but i havent played sky in years

rean: uh, what you said and uh, he's kind of a weeb too, has absolutely no arc (absolutely none), he barely even has a stake in the story, he takes too long to make decisions which is really staggering and not fun as a character to follow

you could really go on, on how rean doesn't work as a character than how he does, but that's not the purpose of the comparison tho

What's in the past is unfortunately done so unless they have Rean physically admit how fucking stupid he 2-3 years ago and how his issues were nothing compared to him now, I guess I can move an inch in feeling for him.

Or make him a slightly jolly teacher with some actual guidance with a dash of self-mockery.

>>375906667
He's definitely not going to be Punished Rean but he's still going to be mildly disturbed on where to go with his life. There just needs to be a good balance between his brooding and his duties to teach. Thankfully, the brooding actually has basis now.

You have yet to address Rean's multitude of episodes regarding his stupid self loathing and drama over his ogre mode.

Rean feels like an incomplete Joshua, only without an Estelle to complete the package. He's got unnatural skill, decent looks, can function in society, but can still considered unremarkable as a character.

Trails is their best shot at localizing relevant titles right now.

Unless 3rd somehow bombs so dramatically that it fails to break 10k sales (unlikely imo), then there's no way they stop riding the Trails train here.

Definitely. Their spokespeople pretending Zero/Azure is almost impossible is cringeworthy. Anyone with half a brain knows NOT localizing them will spell doom for the company. Don't be surprised if they announce and release Zero before Cold Steel 3 even gets a western release date.

It will probably sell less than SC desu. I mean think, of the 140K people or so who bought FC only about 10% actually bothered finishing the game and it sold about 14K on the first weeks I think. Now SC is up to 42K according to steamspy, so even something like 30K sales for 3rd will be good I guess.
>>
>>375916615
>>375916860

SC's release timing was abysmally bad. It released like a day before the Steam Halloween sale started so it didn't get any time on the front page/best seller lists. It was also barely advertised when coming out so basically they released the game and then no one even noticed because hey, big sales on games in everyone's wishlist.

Still just a normal sale would have been enough, we all know that people on Steam do like buying stuff if it's cheap, so the new game would have been a good chance to just sell new people on both FC and SC.

I think part of the reason SC had such bad sales was because it was a bit too pricey for most PC gamers.

That's a load of crap there is all kinds of AAA bullshit that sells big for twice the price. 30 bucks is nothing for a JRPG of this size.

>I think part of the reason SC had such bad sales was because it was a bit too pricey for most PC gamers.

I kind of agree and disagree.
I mean, I bought SC when it launched for the initial price with absolutely zero remorse and no hesitation. And $30 for a really good JRPG is honestly a good price point.

Where I agree though is that the sales prices have been really conservative. It came out about a year and a half ago and the lowest price it's dropped to is $20. Which while a decent price, let's be real, Steam has been flooded heavily with weeb shit and you have stuff like all the Neptunia games regularly dropping to $7. And for anyone who didn't play the first game, the graphics look dated and it is technically a 10 year old game.

So yeah, I agree that for a lot of people they're going to glance at it, see the price and just skip over it. But at the same time the game/series is actually good enough to warrant buying into them at full price right at launch. And this is from someone who pirates a lot of media.

They're going to seriously have to step their pricing game up when Cold Steel hits, though. It's not like that hasn't already been on sale for $15-20 on Vita/PS3 dozens of times. New EN voice acting isn't going to save shit or help make a higher cost worth it. And even I probably won't bother to care about it until it's in the $15~ bracket. And Cold Steel II I'd probably only bother with if it launches at $30.

To be fair, when it's related to training among fellow acquaintances it's fine.

New Legend of Heroes release!?!?1+1
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! XSEED COMMUNITY DOOMSAYER---- I MEAN MANAGERS LOSING THEIR SHIT AND TRYING TO GUILT PEOPLE INTO BUYING THE LATEST GAME SO THEY TURN A PROFIT, IMPLYING THAT THE FUTURE OF THE SERIES DEPENDS UPON IT, WHILE WE ALL KNOW THE COMPANY LITERALLY CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT CROSSBELL NOW THAT THEY'VE MORE OR LESS CAUGHT UP WITH JAPANESE RELEASES ASIDE FROM THOSE TWO GAMES!

OHHH BOOOOOOOOOY!

Anon, the shills are kinda annoying indeed, but you need to calm down too.

Can someone give me tips on magic?
Is it only good for AoE damage or something? Should I use single target spells on bosses even though they're lower tier, or the big AoE ones?

Or is magic just kinda useless in bossfights?

Reminder:
If you have stuttering issues, open the launcher config and toggle the "hardware vertex shader" option.

SC endgame
Even when weak to an element a dual strike by Joshua would deal twice the damage of a full cast

Thats at least where I had hit the brick wall, but I've beaten SC by now so I'd rather need tips for 3rd

The third post you're quoting >>375894474 has to do with your saved config, not your savegame.

>Saved Games/FALCOM/ED6_SORA2 is where it will look for the save from SC.
That wasn't the case for me, that folder is empty and I'm pretty sure it was empty when I started 3rd, too.
I backed up my SC clear save (SVDAT361.SAV) from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[numbers]\251150\remote\SC and just moved file that into 251150\remote\TC
It then detected my save after selecting my difficulty in New Game, and now SVDAT361.SAV is in Saved Games\FALCOM\ED_SORA3

tl;dr try moving your clear save file into 3rd's Steam save file folder.
