>>376804397
I was under the impression that neither Calvard or Erebonia have defined edges to their east/west respectively so that they can invent new cities as the story needs it.

Also there's mention of a country further south than Liberl in Bleublanc's door.

So the abyss weapon and armor drops are actually just bait, right? You're actually supposed to give up on them ever dropping and just move on, right?

Why is Sky cast vs. Cold Steel cast even a debate? After 3rd, there should be no question whicj cast is more powerful. Cold Steel never had to go through a murderers row of power levels like Sky did in the sixth plane of phantasma. And they weren't holding back, but the Sky cast won anyways. One after another they dismissed the toughest fighters in the country. There's no question which cast is superior
>>
>>376807000
She ended up having some of the highest STR of the cast for me. Maybe I didn't min max the other guys as best as I could, but she deals more physical damage than most.

I'm not gonna say that CS > TITS but ---

....lol, who am I kidding. Cold Steel made me fall in love, it was addicting like a mature woman's embrace. TITS felt like a teenager's power trip and something for children. Not bad, but the difference in quality levels was really obvious and in retrospect didn't paint TITS in a very good light.

So i'm wondering something, not once did we ever get any information on anything other than a few countries in this continent right? So is it possible that there are no other distant lands beyond the sea or something like that, and they just weren't mentioned yet?

Honestly by this point it would feel weird if there was. Unless Ouroboros uses some remote island far from Zemuria's continent, and there's no other civilizations beyond that.

There are distant lands. Zin and Kilika are from the East and they said it is from beyond the ocean before they made Calvard heir home.
>>
>>376814238
Ah right, i forgot about that one. It's just that we barely get any information on them, so it almost feels like it's not even there.
>>
>>376813960
If you need damage just use Spear on Kevin's turn
>>
>>376814238
Will Zin and Kilika ever fuck? I can't tell what the relationship these two have.
>>
>>376814427
They're really close childhood friends. They don't want to fuck though, Kilika and Walter loved each other and Zin is respectful enough not to get in the way.
>>
>>376814427
Kilika is an enigma.
>>
>>376813960
The answer to everything Kevin is Grail sphere. Kevin works absolutely well as support character. Just equip auto cp to him. Can heal, Cure status and immunity. What not to like?
>>
>>376814545
Wasn't it because Zin held back on probably telling how he felt towards Kilika? Walter mentions that Zin was always consciously holding himself back because he felt he would never reach Walter's level, be it in terms of fighting prowess or in "matters of the heart".
>>
>>376809446

Considering that unlike Persona, there's nothing to worry about a player doing these things out of order, Falcom could have easily used them to give insight into things that they wouldn't have time to cover in the main plot. Its a good idea but Falcom's execution was poor.

Why is Estelle and Joshua both missing a shoulderplate? Don't they know how to dress themselves?
>>
>>376816758
In a series with a cast as varied as Trails, social links are genuinely bad. You're locking character development to some isolated world just so you can give players a "sense of agency" which ultimately doesn't boil down to anything in the end. I would take more interactions and developments between characters in a story than interactions between MC and character X.

I mean, seriously, why the fuck was Rean the only one to attend Elliot's concert at the church in CS1? There was no reason why a few of the other guys in Class 7 couldn't have attended. They're friends, aren't they?

Estelle is justified since she can protect her right shoulder just fine with her staff, but Joshua makes no sense because he's dual wielding and asymmetrical defence is silly in that case.
>>
>>376817454
I assume campanella
>>
>>376817216
Rean's really the big problem here. He would be a more interesting character if he had more agency himself than leaving it all up to the player. Having him lust after Alisa, as vanilla as the pairing is, would be better than a blank slate who can choose his waifu. That way, you have potential for other interesting pairings, whether it be platonic or romantic.
>>
>>376817345
To be fair, I don't think Falcom would have even bothered with things like Elliot's concert in the main story and also as I said before the idea behind the links aren't bad, because it gives them a chance to put in little things about characters that sure as hell wouldn't fight in the main storyline. I mean, would anyone want to deal with things like accompanying Laura to the store to shop for girly things in the store? The problem is that Falcom focused too much about MC and X when they could have done a combination of things.

For example, one time it might be an event with Rean and Emma or other time, it could be one with the girls together doing things together or another where as you said before, Rean, Gaius and like a couple others visit Elliot's concert.

To be fair, I don't think any of Rean's pairings with the girls in his class are anything beyond safe.

Alisa is the usual first girl wins. Emma is the whole mc and his girl are parallels to mc and his rival stick. Fie is the mc makes the younger girl open up type while Laura is like if you opted to end with the noble confidant girl.
>>
>>376818474
Walter probably knows she has a more meek side to her, and the whole "no funny business" attitude is just her being self conscious.

Or maybe he's just telling her to ease off on it and he doesn't actually know anything about a meek side.

The problem is why does Rean have to be the center of all that? Why can't it be Elliot who opens up Fie or Machias with Laura for the pleb with noble pairing? That's pretty much my problem with Rean.

Yeah, i think Alisa and Emma are the only girls who have any real stake in going for the step beyond friends. Even then Machias could be with Emma since they had a kind of one sided rivalry thing going with Machias early on with his butthurt about not being the smartest one in the cast and they could have gone further with that.

ah, I couldn't tell because the party composition has renne in it. I'd suggest just working it out so you nuke them all at the same time, use renne or olivier with 2x crimson eyes equipped with a variety of quartz so that you can use calamity scream and you'll more or less be set.

Don't forget to cast clock up ex/zodiac (or la forte) on your party, and clock down/enfeeble (unlikely that you'll be able to cast enfeeble, but it's definitely nice if you can), and then only after that start nuking enemies.

Pretty sure the mom spider appears only after killing all three of the spider sisters.

Make sure you have high speed for your earthwall caster, you want to have clock up ex on your party (clock down becomes useless for bosses as they become immune to them as the game goes on). Make sure you have zodiac for buffing and heal/cure petrify when necessary.

While it's tempting to use crimson eyes prioritize speed and maybe petrify resistance if you really need it

The Gralsritter are pretty damn ruthless, but everything we've seen so far indicates that is actually the appropriate response. It's not impossible to imagine that political enemies risk being branded heretics just for being political enemies, but we haven't actually seen that happen. It's also not impossible to imagine them exploiting their tight grip on education, but from what we've seen so far they actually teach a wide variety of subjects instead of just indoctrinating children. So.. I mean, you definitely don't want to end up fighting them, but there hasn't really been any indication of them misusing their position.

>>376824141
I wouldn't say that. Sara posted on the Steam forums saying their Q&A wasn't as thorough as was SC got (which is why that game launched with relatively few problems), and FC also didn't have these kinds of text bugs to worry about. Shit, Xanadu Next had problems more severe than this but Sara got them mostly fixed (except the stuff related to DX8 games stuttering without a wrapper for playing on modern Windows).

You could play Gagharv if you're willing to put up with the shitty combat/localization. Or get into the Ys series if you haven't yet, also made by Falcom but has a focus on gameplay instead of the story.

>>376825051
Shit, you're right about the date. But it's not like this was going to sell hotcakes when the game's best played after beating SC, and anyone who's beat FC knows they'd rather do SC or skip the whole series from now on if they didn't like FC.

Origin is one of the better Ys games though, maybe not as good as Felghana but it has several playable characters and more polished combat. If you've already played the rest then there's no reason not to play this one either.

That would seem like a bad idea. The only reason he gave her that offer instead of just regular kidnapping her (she's bait either way) was to humor Renne. Do you know what happens when you snatch a brand new toy out of a child's hands? Great, now imagine that child is Renne. And you're in a position where you specifically need her to be cooperative to carry out your plan. Estelle would be safe, at least in the short term until Renne gets bored of her.

check up on what bait is requires in previous games. Then tap rhythmically tap the action button around 1-1.5 times a second, not sure on the exact timing. I think how the game works is that it delays any possibility of a catch if you just spam the button so you can abuse this by tapping in rhythm.

Who knows if she'll make time for two games with much larger stories than Toxanadu, but it's one way NISA could do it.

Saltmann's not opposed to bad ideas, especially since he clearly was happy to have the Enforcers stand around as bouncers rather than involve anyone in his central plans other than Loewe (and, begrudgingly, Campanella). I don't think he would have enabled Renne to just kill doll Estelle on a whim; Estelle would basically be a new way to taunt Joshua, break him completely, and then soundly have no opposition at Liber Ark. Then, of course, they could do with Estelle as they wished, though only Saltmann and Renne would have fucked her shit up that horribly.

Renne wouldn't have left that soon, too, not before Chapter 7's events even if losing Estelle to a Stigma would have pissed her off. She'd play along since Ouroboros was family, and it's debatable whether or not the Arseille would have made it to the Ark without just the right conditions within Estelle's party (and with Joshua's knowledge).

>>376826617
I doubt we'll be getting something like Arcturus or War of Genesis or those wuxia xRPGs I want to play now, but we're going to get Zwei!! II at least. They might do older Falcom PC games, but I'm fine with just fan patches for those if XSEED doesn't view them as viable, and that goes for Gagharv as well.

What I wouldn't give to play that. I watched the commercials for it years ago when I was deep into Ragnarok, since they're made by the same company, I remember being pretty excited about since it looked like an offline version of RO.

Release order. Only Ys I-II are direct sequels like FC to SC, the rest are connected but not in chronological order, but playing in chronological order is not recommended.

You can safely ignore Seven, Celceta and VIII though, they're garbage. Wait until the series goes back to form before playing any new games

It can potentially sell as much as FC at the very least. It's not a sequel and it's even more beloved then the sky trilogy.
>>
>>376828001
>Ys is a bit lighter
Not anymore, Falcom is making sure every game from now on follows the Kiseki formula in script size. There is a reason why fans have been calling it Ys no Kiseki since Seven
>>
>>376828156
Nigger, FC has sold nearly half a million copies on GOG and Steam. Cold Steel will likely sell about the same. It's story heavy sequels in a sub-series that sells like shit. Zero would sell just as much, but Ao would drop to around the same as SC.
>>
>>376828156
>The graphic do matter for pc master race.
Which kind of makes Crossbell more marketable. You can tap into the JRPG Nostalgia market with the sprite based games, but Crossbell's character art is more attractive for modern spergs who couldn't appreciate Sora's classic art style
>>
>>376827714
He's the obvious replacement...until you reach Star Door 8, and it's possible (according to Star Door 14) that he's one of the Anguis. They reunite in the Crossbell games for a little while because of the trading conference, but nothing much happens between them, and their differences outweigh any chemistry they have and/or acknowledge.

>>376827948
Both games have script sizes either in-between FC and SC or past that, depending on whose size estimates you use.

I think XSEED can catch up with Zero, maybe even before Cold Steel III, but Ao's gonna have to wait a long while. Their porting issues aren't as much of a pain now that they're ponying up money to commission PC ports (and train Sara so she can start doing more console-to-PC work than just grabbing Julia/Mueller from the PSP SC port).

>>376828135
Liscensing's only a problem if you want Evo versions or the half-assed Chinese PC port of Ao anyway.

>>376827982
>Seven

>garbage
I'd say the former's at least much better than Ys VI, and the latter's gotten awesome import impressions (meaning if there's some undue hype already, it's still gonna be a good-to-great game). No point in waiting for the series t be exactly the same as Oath/Origin when the new stuff plays well on its own merits. I'll give you Celceta to a certain degree because it's a disappointing, rushed remake, but it's still good and made mechanical and pacing improvements over Seven.

>>376828221
Doesn't matter to XSEED, either, not as much as it used to.

>>376828346
Sort of true. Ys VIII's still got a much smaller script than average Kiseki, but it's on par with Tokyo Xanadu's size and has a lot of story vs. older Ys stuff.

>>376828417
Zero's problem is it definitely works better if you know about Estelle, Joshua, and Renne from SC at least. Star Door 15 would get spoiled if players started on Zero, but maybe that's a price worth paying if people saw Zero as a starter game (which it is vs. Ao).
>>
>>376828156
FC sold really well it's just that most people haven't bothered to beat it, like the majority of games on steam.
CS sold well and will probably sell decent on pc as well because it's part of the new wave of modern Jap game ports on PC.
Zero is also a new entry point so people who played CS but think sky is "too old" can get into it instead.
>>
>>376828308
I don't think so. If they are not interested to begin with they will just think it is the same as Sky trilogies. FC just unknown at that point, but now they have 3 games with same graphic in the series to test whether they are interested on further Kiseki series or not. If they are not interested with Sky trilogies they won't be interested with Crossbell. Like i said graphic do matter.

I know quite a few other Ys fans who either prefer the party-system games or can explain why they prefer Oath/Origin while still liking the new games.

Going back to CSIII's localization topic, I find it funny how people keep defending Kondom's/XSEED statement about the Sen series making for good entry points to the series, when more and more old characters and storylines keep getting announced.

>>376817904
Social links are pretty awful in Trails. They're literally only put in the games in order to cater to people who like Persona.

The Sky games were games with a structured story and structured characters. Relationships and interactions were set in stone, and because of this, the writers were able to flesh them out more. All bonding events did was put a lot of Class VII's character development behind a wall and focus almost all of said development around Rean. This is especially noticeable with the female students. The females all are more shallow characters in order to accommodate the fact that Rean can romance them. Furthermore, because the romance (aside from tiny bits of Alisa) is contained behind these social links, the romance feels contrived in the overarching story.

>the idea behind the links aren't bad, because it gives them a chance to put in little things about characters that sure as hell wouldn't fight in the main storyline
You can do this pretty easily without resorting to social links. Social links are more for the player to self-insert, not to tell better backstory. And Trails was built on a foundation of an established story, not for a player to insert themselves and change things on a whim.

Honestly, why not just leave that stuff to fan-fics and shipping? I can safely ignore that stuff in most fanbases already, best not to make it part of franchises like Trails unless there's enough development for everyone on the side (at which point those in favor of social links/bonds would say their efforts are being devalued, lol).

>>376829532
Amazon.jp seems to be full of hyperbolic reviews and nitpicking.

>>376829593
Yes, but you'll definitely get more out of it by playing previous Ys games. VIII's between the stories of Oath in Felghana and (currently) Ys V, but Ys V's about to get a remake judging by Falcom's development pattern, so just start with Felghana or Origin or I & II Chronicles+ for now (Seven's also a good start).
>>
Honestly Crossbell does not worth the investment for Xseed. It graphics and sprite are too close/look like Sky Trilogies, and we all know how SC and 3rd sales are. FC is just an exception since it is the absolute first game and nobody know what to expect at that point. Not now though, they know exactly what to expect with Crossbell games. Why buying those if you don't care for Sky games? They would rather just start With CS modern graphic.

Kloe flat out states that she's not interested in Lechter romantically. And while I actually like the dead idea of Joshua/Kloe (with Joshua/Estelle more as siblings), it's not really like Kloe needs a pairing. She can thrive in the series as the independent female monarch if need be.

>>
>>376830019
depends on how much time you spend studying everyday
>>
>>376829818
Do that, but add in Felghana if you have the time before VIII launches. Just don't binge on the series to feel caught up, since it's best to savor the first runs on Ys games.

>>376829754
New people buy FC all the time. If XSEED can keep their bottom line fine without relying on Trails anytime soon (up in the air until we see their E3 announcements), they can feasibly localize Crossbell and make back their investment years ahead.

>>376829930
I can see her dating, but she's the kind of lady who isn't quite herself when attending banquets or any occasion where she has to play her job (much like Olivert). She'll hold off adding a king to Liberl's line until she's found someone she can really trust and love. At best Lechter will end up being her project, a person she wants to learn more about and potentially help if he turns out to be fucking up the continent with Ouroboros or some other group.

I don't disagree, but it's hard to get an impartial opinion from the western fanbase. Pardon the crude expression since you have kept yourself civil in this conversation, but again there's too many people with Falcom's cock deep up their asses to give an unbiased impression.

> I'd rather know what you think about the games.
They are made with a different audience in mind than what they previously had made up until Seven (I'd said the Napishtim engine trilogy technically, but it was until the PSP-Vita era when they really started the Kisekification of the plot) Ys had a minimalistic charm to it, there was plot, there was lore but it was all bite sized and not as in your face as they now make it.

Gameplay wise, if it were by me we would have never changed the bump system, but there was some fun in the Napishtim combat so I'll allow it. Having a party just doesn't click with me, it doesn't help that their designs are honestly appalling designed again, for an audience I'm not a part of. Mechanics wise, the skill system is too grindy and the Flash Guard/Evade gimmicks are good, but poorly implemented ideas since they trivialize the difficulty. The RPS weapon triangle thing honestly feels tacked on as an excuse to force the party system.

Persona also actually makes an effort to make player choice in whoever they decide to romance matter instead of Falcom's half assed method. They want to do bonding events but at the same time they want to do a more traditional story and fail at doing both.

Star Ocean and other rpg series do side events where the protagonist can interact with the cast in towns and shit outside of the plot but none of it feels as half assed like the one in Cold Steel.

FWIW Ys VIII jacks up the difficulty more than Seven, though I've heard it still doesn't reach Oath's level there (not that anything else in the series has tried).

Getting a good sample of what East Asians and Westerners think of the series isn't easy since the longtime fans love to exaggerate their experiences/opinions, and there's plenty of misinformation and myths about the games still circulating. As for me, I'm pissed at Falcom making something as recycled and lukewarm as Tokyo Xanadu, but maybe they'll siphon the stupid stuff in Kiseki recently into Toxanadu instead. The company's been struggling from 2012 through 2016, and I don't know what they're doing to change this and get the occasional small and unique game made like they used to.

Ys VI started the Gagharvification of Ys games (adding lots of lore, detailed NPCs, but kept out of the way), and I would like a new game more like that (starring Geis and the fairies). I don't feel skills grindy, but they're not that much more interesting than the 3-skills-per-fighter set-up in Ark, Oath, and Origin. You're right about attack types being arbitrary to justify switching between characters; the main solution would be to keep all these new companions but relegate them to 2D fighter-style tagging and specials while having them present for story events. That said, I got a kick out of playing as Dogi and Geis in Seven, so I see the appeal of Kingdom Hearts combat done by Falcom.

What do you mean by appalling designs? Everyone in Seven looked pretty good, and I like VIII's cast from the outset.

I'm sure Kloe will have a significant other at some point, but it's entirely unnecessary for her to have one in the course of the Trails games (unless for some reason the games span longer than like 15 more in-game years). It wouldn't detract from her role or character at all for her to remain as the independent princess trying to help solve international conflicts.

>>376830019
You can learn to read hiragana and katakana fairly quickly, maybe even a few weeks if you're really dedicated. Basic Japanese sentence structure isn't very difficult either. But the problem with Zero/Ao is that the games make use of a lot of kanji (and there isn't furigana to cover for it). Kanji is difficult to learn especially since they aren't as convenient to look up quickly. Factor in all the other basic vocab you need to learn, and I'd say it'd take you half a year minimum if you spent a huge amount of free time every day on it. Realistically, probably a year or two.

As much as I want Crossbell game, I just don't see how it would be a seller. You guys just keep looping back to FC sales which I am sure is just an exception and the starting point of all. If anything, with Crossbell release, people will just buy FC again since they just assumed this is another sequel. If XSEED is sane they would know it is just not profitable, but we all know that luckily XSEED is not sane. So we might have hope? This will be my last post on those issue. Sorry for derailing the thread
>>
>>376832657
No ones going to presume its a sequel, people who follow trails are going to know its not or have already played all 3 sky games. Anyone else isn't going to know about its link to tits.
>>
>>376832657
You made fair points. A loop of FC can possibly happen if XSeed markets as a starting point and not a sequel. Can't really think of many examples of situations like this honestly.
>>
>>376832326
Kadokawa would have to do a massive share takeover to get Falcom, which is public but the company owns almost half its stake and former president Kato's got a lot too (he won't budge).

I think most of experimental Falcom's still there (Kusano, Ishikawa, and other older members haven't left), but they could get away with a lot more on PC when their smaller and experimental games still had a captured audience. Dinosaur and Sorcerian, for example, got Windows remakes that appealed to oldfags who bought the games on principle; Brandish foundered on PSP because their audience for a game on that system was slim. Zwei!! was wacky but also a somewhat conventional dungeon-crawler completing the XYZ dynamic with (classic) Xanadu and Ys. And Zwei!! II bombing hard, followed by their forced move from PC to PSP (which they'd built up for a transition just in case), is a big reason why Falcom's played it safe for arguably too long. I'm somewhat optimistic still.

Frieda, Duren, and Karna would definitely fit into an earlier Ys game based on design, not so much Calilica and Ozma. Sahad and Hummel are definitely less otaku-bait than the girls in VIII though.

Yeah, it's me

Gilbert's weaponized surrender tactics are the strongest in the land though. I seriously doubt anyone could defeat him if he stopped holding back and surrendered with all he had...
>>
>>376833137
If you're just looking at the store front or stumble across it theres nothing to make you presume its a sequel unless you already know and associate that with TiTS.
>>
>>376832657
Let me simplify it enough for you

Pic related is increasingly more attractive and easier to market to the weeb market, like the neptunia fanbase than the Sky series art. If XSEED had access to the Evo's assets, I'd guarantee you it would sell double than what they currently have, to my dismay

>>
>>376833207
People will obviously do some research before buying it unless it is a summer sales. And they will immediately know this is not the first games in the series.
>>
>>376833323
Pic related is a promo art pinup released following one of the games. It's not like they couldn't do that with Sky characters, but they played up the fanservice when promoting Zero/Ao to get more PSP players. Not sure there'd be as huge a jump in sales if XSEED got the Evo pinups and blasted them across the store page...refunds would be astronomical.

>>376833490
Hmm...Tokyo Xanadu has a new difficulty on PS4/PC that apparently makes the game a lot more enjoyable, but Ys VIII PS4/PC has a lot more extra add-ons (plus new difficulty) than Toxanadu eX+. Are you getting one or the other for story or play?
>>
>>376833679

It could work pretty well. Just look how well Senran sells.
>>
>>376833676
If they do research they'll find out its part of a franchise and not a straight sequel. Your entire argument hinges on the consumer being uninformed enough to presume its a straight sequel.
>>
>>376833676
>People will obviously do some research
You have far more faith in humanity than I do. People are lazy, they aren't going to find out anything than what's immediately presented to them.
>>
>>376833679
I was thinking Xanadu since I still really like Ys. I don't mind easy games. Also the add-ons for Ys look fun.
>>
>>376833845
>Average consumer.
>Informed.

All it will take is for XSeed to market it as a secondary entry point with new characters, art, and location. And they should play up the whole dating thing in the game.
>>
>>376833956
Exactly my point, they either don't bother researching and presume its a safe entry point or do research and find out its a safe entry entry point.
>>
>>376833439
He trained Cassius.

>>376833564
Yeah. I meant grandpa.
>>
>>376833950
Ys VIII's ports are looking like a nice upgrade, and I'd personally get that and Toxanadu on Vita instead.

>>376833956
Bonding in Crossbell's too different to play up like it's the same as Cold Steel so far. XSEED should play up how Zero/Ao are the missing link between Liberl and Erebonia, but that Zero's worth a shot even if you're new to the series. The biggest hurdle, actually, is how you get access to most of Crossbell's NPCs and locations practically from the start. Just the thought of it's intimidating, and I have no qualms with something like SC's Chapter 8.
>>
This is all a moot thing, Crossbell depends on CS's pc sales now since 3rd certainly kill its chance. Whether it would be a seller or not tho guess we just have to see in few years(if it does get localized). What happened to that fan patch anyway?
>>
>>376834209
SC's chapter 8 is a lot less intimidating because you've spent the better part of 100 hours travelling Liberl at that point. If you were thrown into all of Liberl right off the bat it would be just as intimidating.
>>
>>376834250
>3rd certainly kill its chance
Not at all. If you go into XSeed's forums one of the staff members say that they aren't expecting gangbuster sales from SC and 3rd but rather long term gradual sales. Plus as people have mentioned here over and over. Every sequel leads to a surge of FC sales which in the end is still profit.
>>
>>376834250
Last update from Floofy was on 4/20, hinting they have a little bit they can show off soon (since it's mostly working in spreadsheets right now). She recently lost her job (contract didn't renew), Guan's busy with real life as well, but I know the hacker's been working on this and Dinosaur Resurrection's fan translation.

CS PC sales really need to perform well, but I think XSEED's out of the red with SC by now.

>>376834358
Yeah, and so that's the biggest hurdle for Zero if you're marketing it to newbies. Maybe it would sell better to some VN fans who see a more modern setting, and lots of ladies and lolis, thinking it won't be a far cry from their usual.
>>
>>376834470
I need link brother.
>>
>>376834250
3rds done fairly well for the third game in a series that needs all other entries played. Its done great on GOG as well.

No. Using the same logic, Dan would be more powerful than Cassius as well since he taught him the basics of staff combat. He surpasses them all at everything, because he's literally reached enlightenment.
>>
>>376834645
Some spread word of mouth by comparing Trails to (parts of) CRPGs, but I try not to do that. What should be said is that you don't have to talk to everyone in Crossbell, just those who have really appealing stories/personalities. Pacing's less of a problem if you enjoy a certain set of NPCs enough to replay the game later and absorb everyone else.

>>376834754
They've recommended both double-dipping and gifting copies to others who might not have the money right now or a system to play on yet, and just talking about the games with anyone new too.

>>376834834
Dan's the staff master, but Cassius has also seen more combat and difficult situations, which is fine since Cassius has reached his 40s and is older.

I agree, I think the biggest display of Japanese culture in the series has to be the naming schemes. There isn't a recent year where you wouldn't find names such as Estelle or Joshua or Tita topping the Japanese list of popular baby names. And to think I almost forgot about the Queen of Japan, God bless her soul. Trails in the Sky is almost a textbook on traditional Japanese culture.

You mentioned Sailor fukus and student council members, which could only point to you talking about Cold Steel and Erebonia, since none of that is prominent in Liberl or Trails in the Sky.
Therefore, I reminded you that we're talking about two people from Liberl, which by the way I continue to maintain is a very western based setting, so you don't try to bring things from something different into this.
