So what should I know before I dive into final chapter?
Zemurian weapons: Agate, Ries, Tita and Big Rich. I don't really have enough good quartz for everyone.
>>
>>377494171
Reminder to grab the HQ JPN voice packs for all 3 games (higher quality than the shitty PSP conversions floating around), also comes with fully looped Evolution music.
Both show up as selectable new options in menu and don't require replacing files.

>>377494171
Final chapter is pretty easy. You'll gain lost levels in a couple of fights and there are still places to buy quartz if you REALLY want to. Just put Anelace, Tita and Agate in different parties so that each party will have someone with a strong weapon to take out the initial mobs.
Get ready for a triple boss fight with all non Kevin parties AFTER you went through the dungeon with all 4 parties
>>
Evolution or Original music?
>>
>>377494939
Original.
>>
>>377494363
Doesn't the first game have only battle voices ?
>>
>>377495094
Yes, but they're still dubbed garbage.
Also one of the characters is meant to have different voiceset in FC than in SC and 3rd, something that PSP versions missed (where SC/3rd voiceset is used even for FC) which makes those PSP jpn voice conversions even shittier.

>>377494939
Original on first playthrouh.
>>
>>377494939
What the fuck is this screenshot from?
Vita EVO version? If so, the art style is already raped, might as well go with Evo music to match it.

Vita TV makes playing the game very comfy. Too bad about the resolution, though.
>>
>>377495307
Well, I plan on playing all 3 games now that they are released on summer, so I guess I will be playing the near optimal version.
Should I use the Evolution OST for any of the entries?
>>
>>377495664
>Raped art style (portraits)
>Shit resolution
Why would anyone want to play Evo versions over the superior PC version?
Just because they're fully voiced doesn't negate the fact that they look like complete fucking ass due to new artwork and low resolution.
>>
>>377495670
EVO ost is very polarizing, I'd say half of it is better, half of it is blatantly worse.
Go with original music for first playthrough.
But if you ever replay the game, I'd say Evo music is worth it if only to experience it yourself and form your own opinion.

>>377495539
Joshua, his lines change in SC due to character development. He's the only character that gets new voiceset.

I'm not touching Cold Steel shit since I heard it's extremely juvenile in writing and basically equivalent of modern harem anime plot but whatever floats your boat.
Personally I'm waiting for (or rather, hoping for) XSEED to translate Ao and Zero and make them PC exclusives like 3rd to piss of Viturds.
>>
>>377496149
I'm playing the Crossbell Evos as soon as I'm done with the Sky games. I'll have all the games in a couple of weeks, so I'll be having a good few months of pure Trails.

Don't get me wrong, I'll play it eventually, but I sure as hell ain't doing it until I play through Ao and Zero.
>>
>>377496737
Not if Julia is the best the royal guard has to offer, she fucking sucks. Hell, Mueller kicks the shit out of her in their star door battle. Clearly the Erebonians are much stronger.
>>
>>377496905
The order you play them in doesn't matter.
>>
>>377496957
Yeah fucking right, playing CS first and knowing from the start that Olivier is an Erebonian prince would fucking ruin TitS.
>>
>>377496957
How about you go suck a dick and I will do what I want? I don't play things outside release order, ever. And I did enough research to know that perspective on CS changes whether you went through Ao and Zero or not.
>>
>>377497024
Specifically regarding Ao/Zero and Cold Steel. Context man.

>>377497052
You would be following release order since Ao/Zero haven't been released yet. :^)

Don't fall for the memes. It's fine to play either first.
>>
>>377496956
>Hell, Mueller kicks the shit out of her in their star door battle.
Not in my game.
>>
>>377497231
There is absolutely no way you could possibly win the Julia vs Mueller battle. Anelace vs Richard yes, but not Julai vs Mueller.
>>
>>377497194
>Specifically regarding Ao/Zero and Cold Steel. Context man.
Given that there is a significant amount of carryover throughout the series in terms of characters and plot points, and playing CS first would have significantly diminished the impact of events in Sky, why should anyone believe you about Crossbell being any different?
>>
>Play 3rd
>Everyone keeps saying Ries is cute
>She isn't cute at all
>>
>>377497052
Well then you can wait a long ass time for playing the Cold steel trilogy I fear.

Besides it's more of a Star Wars situation. You can watch "A new hope" without watching the prequels (people did this for decades).

Falcom specifically designed Cold steel to bring in a new audience.
>>
>>377497432
>Besides it's more of a Star Wars situation. You can watch "A new hope" without watching the prequels (people did this for decades).
What a fucking retarded comparison. Cold Steel didn't come first.
>>
>>377497353
Because they happen during the same timeframe. Cold Steel isn't a continuation of Ao. No matter which one you play, you're going to learn about the major events in the other.

I don't like to say it but get good. I won on Hard on my second try, got the same reward though. Julia also says that Mueller was holding back, but he denies it.

That's wierd. Didn't Joshua beat him pretty easily?

You might just be the most hardcore man on /v/.

But did you play Megami Tensei 1 and 2 before SMT1?
>>
>>377495735
That's like your opinion, m8. If you're used to Jap games/anime then the artwork shouldn't bother you at all and voiced characters is a big plus.
>>
>>377498418
Nope, wasn't translated and there was no prospect of it happening. I did play KMT after SMT2 though which is how it came out originally.
>>
>>377498393
Eh there's nothing hardcore about it. I just hate missing out on callbacks in games like that. I wouldn't like SMT4 as much as I did if I didn't recognize all the throwbacks to 1 and 2.

It's a slightly modified typo of poker game in the game. Poker is not fun unless you are willing to bet something.

If the only difference between the two is just the same thing but with more voiced lines then its not that big of a deal if you get it for PS3 though. Its probably cheaper at this point than if you got it for PC too.

I just finished the 3rd. It's no SC and having to grind 400 battles for the last two doors was really tedious and killed off a lot of potential emotional momentum for me but I appreciate the game overall. It felt like a fandisk through and through and I'm glad I got to see the cast one last time until Crossbell.

>owning up to your weaknesses and turning them into your strengths, seeing as how she changed from a helpless child into a cold murder machine.

That's not very accurate, though. Renne's behavior in SC is almost completely dominated by trying to maintain her delusion that it all happened to someone else, except instead of inventing fictional characters to protect her like she did in Star Door 15, now she tries to turn herself into a fictional character.

That way, in her mind, she is an entirely different person. Sure, that person is based on the girl in Paradise, but she isn't her. She is a princess who gets whatever she wants. She's the Angel of Slaughter who kills whoever she wants. And the world sure as hell does revolve around her. And if any of that stopped being true, even for a moment, then...

Renne is fun.

You will be forced to use a specific party every chapter until the last one like FC, but you usually have 4 party members active and 2 in reserve you can switch that also get EXP.
Characters not in your party level up to a certain after every chapter to save you the trouble of catching up.
The 2nd game allows you to use any character after you fully regroup, although forcing you to use at least one specific character for some chapters, like the 3rd.

The original story premise for Sen was that the cast would have been soldiers. They then realized that wouldn't work in a rpg where you explore things at all since Soldiers can't do whatever they please plus soldiers can't always be the good guys.

Is this what they said or is it what you assume to have happened?
If it's the former they're fucking retarded and if it's the latter you're fucking retarded.

>>377522790
They thought it was too much of a retread of something they'd already done so they rewrote in a way that's still retreading the exact same thing?

What really throws a wrench into this whole scenario are all the bonding events and shit. Had they stuck with the original version of the story, Alisa would have probably fallen in love with Rean by the end of CS1's events. This would have compelled her to try and bring him back during CS2. Sure, it's cheesy romantic bullshit and it kind of turns her into a spoony retard, but it makes a hell of a lot more thematic sense than a dude with an existing girlfriend trying to bring back a random high school buddy.

This was beyond bullshit.
The only holding back that made sense was McBurn, the others were poor writing.

>>377526724
SC and 3rd have way better stuff. As do the trio of Ys games that were released before Zero.
>>
>>377527104
Like, that's just your opinion man. I love Ark/Origin/Oath's soundtracks too (especially Ark), and obviously SC has a great soundtrack too. The 3rd is pretty damn close to how good Zero's is IMO.

After coming off of cold steel and going into 3rd I was very pleasantly surprised to find out all of the big fights werent just fuckheads holding back. Loewe did it in FC and SC a bit but he died like a dog anyway
>>
>>377527104
SC has some great stand-outs, but plenty of filler (Crushed and Scarred, Conspiracy, Truth Behind the Tragedy (which is just another Silver Will downgrade), among others). And while I also prefer 3rd for the most part, Zero stands up to SC rather evenly (and it has a large tracklist to boot). As for Ys, I seem to love Ark's OST a lot more than most; Seven's the most diverse and experimental in the series overall, so of course it's gonna be hard to top (and Nayuta's OST, much as I like it, has trouble competing).

>>377527227
3rd succeeds because of Ryo Takeshita doing quite a few of his best Falcom tracks, right before leaving. His leftovers in Nayuta help that soundtrack a lot, too, and he had a major role for Ys Origin since Unisuga and Sonoda were busy with SC. I wish he'd never left the sound team.

That's all cutscene music. It's not supposed to be catchy or hype. I wouldn't call it filler just because of that. Filler is stuff like the various Thors themes in Cold Steel.

Like this muzak-sounding borefest.

>>377497967
That battle wasn't required to win, especially since it relies on Mueller missing his attacks by stacking as much agility as you can.
>>
>>377497282
Its definitely doable, you either reserve all your CP for s-craft spamming, or you get the pattern down and block key attacks with her guard craft.

so, if i want more weapons aside for the 4 ores + the anelace upgrade i need to farm the clones? are those the best weapons for the rest of the characters?

The hype tracks in these games are nearly all worthwhile, so I worry a lot more about what you'll be hearing frequently. And even in SC, that means the FC town tracks which work really well.

Maybe Trista's theme isn't too hot, but one could say the same of Rolent, and I really enjoy most Thors tracks like the one you just posted. I could post actual, non-exaggerated muzak which is way more boring than funky or lyrical afterschool BGM.

>>377528756
...Maybe on Hard, but I beat Mueller in Chapter 5 fair and square on Normal. But I've heard of a few doing it on Hard, you just have to make a perfect system and pray for RNG. Same with Mueller vs Julia, but simpler.

Nah, Wild Arms has a very western-like whistle, the kind you'd hear in Clint Eastwood movies.
This has a distinct Mongolian/general steppe nomad flute sound to it.
The place I'm from was pretty nomadic and flutes like those are the ethnical instrument around here, so it feels very comfy to listen to it.

Dice only edited Ruan and Bose in SC, and after that Estelle's nearly the same.

>>377529206
More likely defensive. I'm not sure he had a romantic affection for Mischa that would transfer to Tita, not that something can't develop.

>>377529337
Maybe it doesn't have the whistle, but I associate this kind of open-plains anthem with lonely frontiers, and it's not far off from a theme Naruke would compose for a new Wild Arms.

I don't know where you heard that, because Dice and XSEED's own statements both indicate that Carpe Fulgur did the entire main scenario before falling off from the project and the remaining unfinished text was all the NPC and sidequest text. Jessica did have to go over the entire script again to fix consistency issues, but she didn't retranslate the entire thing.

Machias really grew on me. He's such a spazz

>>377529206
In his defense he is constantly being bombarded about it by his friends, acquaintances and Tita's parents. He's probably also subconsciously trying to maintain his "cool loner guy" image so people bringing up Tita shatters that. Plus he also gets super flustered when Olivier tries to make Estelle believe that Agate was interested in him despite that being flat out untrue and unbelievable in the first place. He's just not very good at social situations that fall out of his comfort zone.

But of course we all know that by the end he'll succumb to the fate that befalls every adoptive siblings pair in the Kiseki games.

You know, I've been thinking. How far will the tech progress in the next installment?
We've went from large stationary telephones and just what, one proper computer in Sky to mobile phones, orbalnet and widespread computers in CS. From what I gathered in the CS2 interlude, Crossbell's loaded with technology as well and is where the orbalnet started. There are now also highly-advanced mecha produced not by the 13 Factories, but by Reinford. ZCF has the Orbal Gear and is surely developing it. There's no way Verde won't want in on that pie. The arms race is going to be fun to follow.

I can understand Bleublanc holding back because his real main rival is Olivert anyway plus he probably would want to witness the duel between Rean and Crow because it'd be beautiful to him.

Seems like Falcom realized that the dry, expository approach they used in other doors wasn't going to work for this one so they revamped it from the ground up.

Robin did the translation (and he's more than fine by comparison), but Dice had his breakdown well before editing it all himself. Gathering from his own posts on Twitter and GAF, he didn't get that much done. I don't know if he got the whole main scenario edited or not, so I need to see sources on what you're saying.

Either way, Estelle in SC seems to get just as angry or annoyed as in FC, but with more conviction behind what she says. I think the editing styles are more homogeneous than before.

More or less. I doubt the game's story will be related to any of Sept-Terrions and thus won't have a big impact on the overarching story, but it adds a lot to the world-building and lore, like introducing new Jaeger corps, Remiferian royal family etc. which may be important later.

Are these games actually good or are they just weeaboo trash? Never played any of them, but I have seen some of those games on Steam...
>>
>>377548802
Anon, it's hard to take you seriously when you say "weeaboo trash." It suggests that you are biased against games just because they are from Japan or because they have a certain type of art style. Why would you expect a genuine answer when this is how you choose to present the question?

It depends on the sub series. I'd say the Sky trilogy are pretty low on the weeb scale, but it gets worse as the series progresses.

The main appeal of the Trails series is that's it's pretty much the only JRPG series that's been able to maintain a consistent canon without devolving into batshit insanity. If you like world building and lore and can stomach tropey anime bullshit every now and then, then you'll probably like it. If not, then avoid it. I'd say at least give the Sky trilogy a chance, but that's just my two cents.

I'm tired of this meme. They're just as anime as the other games in the series.

I know it did some insane damage to that boss but was one shotting it actually a possibility?
>>
>>377558835
I guess story wise the boss would have died in 1 hit to that. I mean, it's basically getting pierced by multiple bolts infused with time magic in them that explode.

2017 is literally the end of XSeed. Fate/Extella and the PC ports of CS may be the last games they ever release. As if losing Falcom wasn't enough, Akiba's Shit has absolutely financially destroyed them. No Ys 8 or Tokyo Xanadu to help them make up for that abortion.

I've got bad news for you, dude. That is a very reasonable price for Trails of Cold Steel. If you're expecting less, then expect to be disappointed.

And, no, NISA would not sell it for any less, either.
