I have a save files all over the chapters and i just checked, they are not in the airliner coming from Calvard.

The couple you see there is the couple that got together in FC, and you saw them on a trip around Liberl. The general store owner and Kitty are not there.

>>377225351
Full voice acting for nearly(?) every line in the game and most of the CGs added aren't that bad. The portraits not being as good as the originals is a small price to pay for a shitton of great VA.

>>377224964
It's Faux Xanadu. What do you think?

It's about as canon as Tokyo Xanadu.

>tfw Jusis and Machias rarely interacted in CS2
I'm guessing Falcom saw how unpopular Machias was and just showed him to the sidelines while Jusis kept basking in the limelight. Honestly as bad as Rean and Alisa were, Machias is just in a completely different dimension of shit.

Lording it over the EOPs.

>>377227851
Honestly CS2 cut down on all Class VII interaction, and everyone not named Rean, Jusis, Emma or Fie got devolved into "heh, as expected of Rean" or "Gasp! How can this be?!" machines.

Should I import CS3 when it comes out?
My moon is enough to comprehend about 40% of what I read.

>>377228169
The voice acting is nice.

>>377228676
No it isn't. I can read faster and just hear voices in my head, usually voices which fit the characters better too.

>>377228169
VAs. Not worth in Sky because the VAs are mostly mediocre with a few exceptions (Olivier, Kloe, Loewe), but Crossbell has really good VAs, Randy and Tio especially.

>>377228756
I mean sure, but for important scenes it's a nice addition.

>>377228169
I can't go back to no voice acting. Also the sky Evo versions added fast forward in battle and other shit like dialogue backlog options.

Doesn't matter, Sword emperor (剣帝) is what Falcom uses.

>playing SC
>chose Schera instead of Agate

Even with Olivier to bounce off of, Schera is being so fucking boring.

So Tita is gonna be that Schmidt guy's student right? The guy who was a ginormous asshole in Cold Steel 2. You guys think he'll eventually soften up to Tita? Or rather show some sort of pride in her progress.

Anelace vs Rean who wins?

>>377230590
Anelace because she's invincible

>>377230675
Is she?

>>377230590
Anelace hands his ass to him until Rean activates ogre power, is powered up by a plot device, gets into his mech, is cheered on by the rest of Class VII and gives a really shitty and poorly written speech about not giving up

anelace then reveals in a cutscene that she was holding back

>>377230240
The only good scene Schera has in SC takes place in Rolent, but that's after she is forced in your party so picking her path early in the game doesn't matter.

Relatively little. Hudson Soft licensed the Xanadu IP and made basically their own side-scrolling adventure on Famicom using some elements derived from the PC-88 game. Not even La Valse Pour Xanadu makes a musical appearance.

That said, it's on most lists of games within Falcom's Dragon Slayer label, so they think it counts. It also gets brought up way more often than Xanadu Next even now,for better or worse.

I love the flying-twintails animation for Mary. Moon Door 5's pretty damn good really.

>>377226893
There's nothing desperate sounding until the 1:20 transition, and the Evo arrange keeps the electronica bits while bringing a harder metal sound to the forefront. It's not for everyone, but I prefer FC Evo's version because it makes Reverie's first phase more ferocious, not that I don't already love the original track (where the 1:20 transition's better). You are fighting the most successful of the Aureole's guardians, after all, it had better rock hard. A more intense techno arrangement would have been ideal, though.

>>377226809
Too much indulgent guitar and solos in Azure Arbitrator Evo, and less synth arrangement which Jindo put to good use. I also prefer the original track's opening even if the Evo intro's more impressive.

I've heard Chari-Ani will not work with western companies the whole thing is a legal nightmare since you have two other companies to license from on top of Falcom. Doubt they could afford to dub the entire game either because there is so much fucking voice acting.

Based on the quality of Persona 5's dub I highly doubt that.

>>377238074
The dub itself wasn't the problem, it was the translation and directing. All the same pool of funds, but they had more than a dozen people just working on the script. It wasn't a cheap exercise.

>>377237249
Probably helps a bit that that Fatlus/Sega are the ones that actually own Persona as opposed to Xseed always needing to license the games from Falcom.

>>377238323

That one girl who said "Takamaki" correctly probably got kicked out of the studio with no pay.

It's my favorite version of the games. I can play them all in a single platform, they look really nice, I like the CGs and the voice acting, also the combat makes much more sense.

Hearing Estelle saying leeeeeeeeets go is pretty much the reason to own them for me. I'll admit I paid for the original soundtracks but they're just that good.

There are like, 9000 different versions of the original trilogy, just pick the one you like.

Apparently the dialogue in the fan translation was really fucking awkward before the new guys took over, like:

>Everyone... will you be inquiring in the city from now on?
>Yes, at the very least I want to visit the Casino. >In the case the Guardian Force has got information of that kind could you contact us?

And then revised into:

>So you guys are going to ask around the city now?
>Yeah, starting with the casino. Could you contact us in case the Guardian Force learns anything new?

Line about asking around the city is supposed to be Noel speaking.

I joined the Falcom discord to see what it was like, and there's a tab for the Zero fan translation. Some guys who are working on it speak there from time to time and show some of the lines they are working on.

Why do people blame the translation alone when dialogue in localized games is sub-par? Have you ever thought that perhaps the original script was poorly written from the getgo? No, of course not, muh glorious nippon would never do that, right? Fucking losers.

Not really, Lloyd is kind of similar to Estelle in that he's an all rounder with his orbment setup and stats, but he's got really good crafts which make him much better than Estelle.

Yes, his edited script was in the wrong format, so Jessica Chavez had to copy and paste the entire fucking thing into the correct one, while also revising a lot of his work and finishing 50% of the editing herself. The Carpe Fulgur editor also disagreed with XSeed on terms and names established in FC, so Chavez had to fix all of that too.

The Carpe Fulgur translator is actually highly skilled. It's a shame he was unfortunate enough to be stuck with bipolar faggot.

The biggest ruse you can do with a translation is pretend you're doing it so no one will pick it up.

>>377243862
The Kevin story's back-loaded, and some parts feel padded to hell and back (Chapter 6 bosses didn't all need to be in one chapter), but the Doors and Garden conversations are awesome, it's nice to have some more unique bosses, and the presentation's great.

>>377244079
Yeah, the intro tease is a bit too good. But this was definitely a low-budget game for Falcom, it's all about the gaiden content. I'm not sure where it ranks because, though it has the most concentrated best writing of the trilogy, there's flaws with structure overall. At least it has fast travel, so I'd have to rank it in-between FC at bottm and SC on top.

>>377244165
Basically the same mix you'd get here. Spoiler rules are way more strict in non-spoiler channels, so it's a safer place to hang out and discuss, but there's also less arguments of all types.

>>377244546
I don't even know if CF's got any games on the horizon, with Andrew saying for a year or so how they've got something coming up. Robin might have fucked off to something better in the meantime.

He's an all rounder with above average stats (still not enough to surpass stat dedicated characters), and same exact orbment setup as Estelle, and decent crafts for example:

>Rush that has a % chance to make enemy faint
>Pierce attack in a line that has a chance to seal the enemy
>Self buff that allows him to move immediately after, and increases his STR, DEF and SPD for 5 turns, final version increasing them by 50%. After 5 turns he gets a 1 turn faint for using it
>Spin attack that sucks everyone towards him

I forget the others he has. Also his S-craft is on an area after it upgrades.

>>377248891
It's probably going to be centered to a specific place, and the resurrected are most likely going to suffer from a massive side effect that makes the entire process worthless, but the revived may still be dangerous.

Was the Weisman in Gehenna a clone or real? Even I don't know if the other heretics in there are real.

Yeah pretty much everything except your party and Gilbert were clones.

Why do you suppose they had campanella break the fourth wall by addressing the player at the end of that door in 3rd? Seems like an odd choice to make so suddenly in a series like this. Could it be foreshadowing something?

>>377222990
>What the absolute fuck am I watching

Given the nature of the conversation during that scene I'm inclined to believe this actually happened and she didn't dream it.

The dragon repeatedly gives canon draconic information that she doesn't understand or know.

Falcom was high as shit when they made that part of the game.

>>377236439
>not to mention the guy that almost commit sodoku while translating them

I really want this fucking shit to die. It's obvious that Dice was lying and is just a lazy drama queen.

>>377249818

>>377249270
They do in Ao.

It mostly seems like a joke on the player for investing so much time in scrutinizing all the Doors, the final reward being a sneak peek at a meeting between The Fool, Anguis, and the Grandmaster. He may or may not have 4th-wall powers beyond this, but Campy's not to be fucked with.

>>377249780
There's some room for interpretation since Weissmann used the Aureole in proximity to the Recluse Cube on Liber Ark, and his final thoughts could have been absorbed during the collapse. If not, then it begs the question: how would Kevin's Stigma know about Weissmann explicitly wanting to create "superhumans" through fake Stigmas?

>>377250167
Apparently part of Ao's endgame reveals a detail or more necessary to unlocking the meaning of this Moon Door.

TFW campanella is one day revealed to be a human incarnation of the goddess

They need to find a way to justify learning Japanese and to lord over people who play the game later. Granted there are times where they're right about the translation being terrible (FE Fates which wasn't even good in Japanese in the first place)

>There's some room for interpretation since Weissmann used the Aureole in proximity to the Recluse Cube on Liber Ark
Thats a good point pretty much every other recreation we see in there especially in chapter 6 never really said anything we didn't already know. It was all just things that could easily have been created from the other characters memories. I'd have to agree that the most likely scenario is his thoughts for absorbed especially when you consider he was assimilated with the Aureole at one point.

Do you guys think that Aidios/Eidos actually was a divine being? I think she may be just a scientist who managed to reach the technological singularity by the creation of Sept-Terrions.

Aidios was a normal human woman who - unlike every other person in Trails - refused to hold back.

>That support between Saizo and Beruka that was just outright replaced with 3-4 boxes of ellipses
Like they couldn't even make an attempt to edit it? Just outright removed it but I find in most cases the people complaining are making a mountain out of a molehill. Except when Nintendo is involved they are generally right because they are responsible for some of the worst localization out there.

>>377251596
If that's the case, Weissmann is simultaneously impossible to resurrect (thx mr. salt) and immortal so long as the Aureole's active, retaining Phantasma and all those still within it. Celeste and Weissmann are probably the only ones left in there now, though only as fragments of their former selves. I doubt he'd want to wake her up from her slumber, not that he could if he's stuck in the planes and can't reach the Garden now that the Cube's inactive.

>>377251630
That's really just like the Eldeen in Ys who lucked out by being the first to master crafting and sciences based on emel, the most powerful set of metals in the Ys world.

So what is Kevin's new title?

>>377251630
Highly likely, but I hope they don't go that way.

Anyway, is there any info on how the church appeared? From the museum in Grancel, all they say is that it appeared during the dark ages, but they don't say why.

>>377252004
8-4 did Echoes and the translation is actually pretty good this time. A couple things to nitpick about but its far from the mess that people will try to get you to believe because they went with "nerd and loser" instead of just "nerd".

Yeah I heard Treehouse thankfully didn't do Echoes so I have higher expectations for its localization.

>Kevin wanted his new title to be "The Black Arrow"

I suddenly got nostalgic over my edgy adolescent online usernames. Thinking about, 'Heretic Hunter' was a pretty "Why was I this stupid when I was 12" kind of title too.

>>377249915
Who the fuck lies about suicide? And honestly lazing around for a year is beyond lazy.

The Grandmaster is probably Aidios whom is trapped in Gehenna. The Orpheus plan is a way to free her from Gehenna.

>>377252740
How the fuck does a goddess get stuck in hell, anon?

>>377252879
By being murdered.

Gagharv had a similar plot beat in its setting.

>>377252435
Treehouse doesn't automatically mean bad, though. They did PoR and RD, and improved their stories immensely. PoR is a great case of inaccurate translations being better than the original. But this is an entirely different matter.

>>377252879
>I must kill the demons!
>No Aidios. You are the demons.

Faggots that want pity. It's obvious from his whiny blog post that he was never serious about it.

I mean fuck, only a highschool girl desperate for attention would say something like "i tried to kill myself by stabbing my heart :("

>>377252740
If that is the case, why would she be at odds with the church and nearly every good guy in the continent?

>>377253381
You're assuming that the Church is good and Ouroboros are bad. Or that the Church is truthful about Aidios.

What were they thinking with that game?

>>377255895
The previous game was a surprise hit, they decided to gamble on this one. Didn't pay off.

>>377255895
Who knows. Apparently it's their most expensive localization to date as well. It absolutely bombed in Japan in every way imaginable, so I don't know what they were expecting. It's also a Sony exclusive this time around, so no Steam weeb market to cash in on.

>>377256136
I mean once they saw how poor it did in Japan, I would've expected them to back down and maybe just do sub only. Can't imagine why they splurged on localization costs for this game.

>>377255895
Akiba's trip is one of XSEED's best selling games so I bet when they heard another Akiba's game was coming out they jumped on it immediately. Bet they started sweating bullets when it completely bombed in Japan.

>>377256448
The dub was already done once the game released in Japan. They started localization before the game came out there.

>>377256448
It only came out in Japan in December. I imagine a good bit of work like contracts being drawn up and stuff had already been done for the western release.

There's very few American gamers who will play games without English VA even among the JRPG crowd let's be honest.

No dual audio meant a loss by default.

If i remember right, the second sept-terrion is an actual entity and not some sort of AI, so i kinda doubt that.

>>377256509
It probably puts the company in the deepest shit they've ever been in. At least their only upcoming new game was developed in-house by their parent company and probably doesn't come with any fees for XSEED themselves. Cold Steel's port quality will make or break it. If it's shit, the port police will absolutely destroy it with bad press.

The future isn't looking too bright for them, mane.

>>377257398

Let's hope they have Durante working on it.
