>>378067982
Towa dropped out of the Reanbowl, at least temporarily, after Crow's death. For the time being that's probably a romantic dead-end, although CS3 might restore it.

Alfin very clearly wants the Cold Steel, though. Millium probably gets railed by Osborne every night and would be too busy laughing at how small Rean is in comparison if they ever got together.

Torn between hype and concern regarding CS3.

I don't really get why they're bringing back old characters while simultaneously sticking us with a party of weak students again. In the Sky trilogy, your party became progressively more powerful throughout the 3 games, and by the 3rd your party was literally an all-star cast of powerhouses that defeat all of Liberl's best.

Here in CS3 they give us a smaller class VII with a brand new group of weaklings. I don't really get it. And there's no indication that people like Tita, Agate, Randy, and Olivert will be playable. Why does Falcom want the main party to be weaker in the Cold Steel series so bad?

>>
>>378073334
Those are weapon designs for characters, yes, but there's no indication that they're PLAYABLE characters. Nor does it indicate that they're for the main party.
>>
>>378072830
Old Class VII have graduated and moved on. What would they all join Rean to do? With the Thors setting, it gives them an anchor to work with: Rean and his students. Plus, it's likely these new students have ulterior motives.
>>
>>378073654
There are a million other scenarios they could have written up other than sticking us with more pleb-tier students. I'm not opposed to the school setting in and of itself, but at what point are they going to stop giving us shitty characters who need to get bailed out constantly and can't accomplish anything on their own?

This Class VII isn't even going to play a hand in getting anything done most likely. They'll do minor things in the background while the adults like Randy, Agate, Olivert all go and do the good stuff. It just doesn't make any sense why they're so in love with giving us a weakling party that can't do anything

There was literally no reason why that had to happen.. AT ALL. They shoehorned it in for no reason. Class VII didn't even complete the full 2 years. They could have run Class VII back for the second year, but this time with real power and a reputation for getting things done.

But, no, they dumped Class VII for no fucking reason and gave us a whole new group of weak students to start back at zero with again.

Of course you can come up with any excuse for all the characters but that doesn't change the fact that they would've been better off running Class VII back, but this time making them actually important thanks to their accomplishments in CS2.

>>378076595
Not him, but I don't think Rean and friends would really get anything from a second year. Letting them go their separate ways was probably for the best since quite a few of them wouldn't really benefit from staying in a military academy or had no real reason to stay there anymore.
>>
>>378076940
Dumb senfag
>>
>>378077128
It's not about what is good for the characters it's about what's necessary for the story. Class VII could've stuck around for another year as a famous bracer replacement and it would've made 1,000 times more sense for them to be involved in the plan that takes down Osborne instead of these new kids starting back at zero.
>>
>>378058543
It's a never situation. You have a choice, you always had a choice of your waifu in CS1/2. They aren't going to force any cannon pariing no matter how hard the trolls try.

And she was never forced in the other games. she's simply there and can easily be ignored during bonding events.
>>
>>378076595
>Of course you can come up with any excuse for all the characters
Those are not excuses but plot reasons why they decided to go their own ways. Even one or two students dropping out or one dying means that Class VII wouldn't be the same. Especially someone like Jusis has a lot more important things going on than running errands with Class VII for one more year.

>this time making them actually important thanks to their accomplishments in CS2
This couldn't be the case: 1. one of the board was an Ironblood 2. Olivier was kicked out of the school board 3. Osborne would and eventually did put the clamps on Thors, making it a lot more military-orientated
>>
>>378077685

Characters stagnating because the plot won't allow them to advance what's already setup for them at the end of the previous game is terrible.

They wouldn't have to stagnate. it's not a choice betweemn "abandon class 7 entirely" or "class 7 stagnates"

>>378077863
"Hey guys, how would you like to join my brand new branch school of Thors, filled with ragtag bunch of hooligans and foreigners? For starters Elliot, you just have to give up your dreams of becoming a musician and Jusis, you don't probably give two shits about your home province and fixing the mess your father left. So join us for another year of classic Class VII shenanigans, it'll be just like the goold ol' days."

Talk about the biggest shoehorn in the history of shoehorning.
>>
>>378078480
um no

obviously there is still a lot left for them to do

you think it's OK to just leave the empire in the state it's in now? Class VII disbanded right when their talents were needed most, and then they got replaced by a new class VII because - guess what - Class VII was needed.
>>
>>378057794
You're an insufferable faggot, sensei. Please kill yourself.
>>
>>378078624
The original Class VII are focusing on developing their actually good talents or getting ready to take over/taking over what was left for them. They're all going to help the Empire in their own way by building off what they learned in school.

Oh absolutely, like following their own paths and becoming stronger, more experienced and coming to their own as characters. Forcing them yet again into a school setting would completely neuter and kill any remaining hopes for real character development.

>you think it's OK to just leave the empire in the state it's in now?
They can't do shit at the end of CS2, Courageous being grounded and Rean doing the chancellor's bidding. That's just one more reason to go their separate ways and join forces again when the time's right.
>>
>>378079043
>>378079383
Here's the bottom line.

They got rid of Class VII, realized it was a mistake, and made a whole new class vii.

It's that simple. It never should've happened.

Why the fuck do people keep saying this? We go silhouettes of everyone from class VII, why is Rean fighting with his students making people afraid they aren't using any of the past characters? It never once fucking happened in the entire franchise, but FOR SOME FUCKING REASON, cold steel just makes everyone go for boogeyman talk about how they're kicking out the past characters, when it's pretty goddamn clear they're just not revealing much about them?
>>
>>378079875
Because a lot of people despise Class VII and are wishfully hoping they won't be forced to play as all of them again? Is it that hard to understand
>>
>>378079875
Ignore this guy >>378080064

My point isn't that Class VII won't exist anymore. My issue is that they took 2 games to build up Class VII, they finally accomplished something and Rean even became famous, but then they decide they don't want to do that Class VII as the main cast and made a new one instead. Now we're back at zero with a new class of weaklings when we could have continued the legend of the original Class VII. I'm sure you can see why that's a problem.
>>
>>378080064
More like delusional thinking. They wouldn't discard characters they used for 2 games and the third takes place in the same location, even if years later.

Maybe they won't need to use them in their parties, but obviously they are going to get involved in the plot due to having finished most of what they were working on and coming back to give a hand i'd guess.
>>
>>378080258
You're also kind assuming too much anon, just because we're getting new characters, doesn't mean they'll be the focus the entire game. Plus Sen III is supposed to mix up with Crossbell, so seeing recurring characters like Tio and Randy is normal.
>>
>>378080269
>Maybe they won't need to use them in their parties, but obviously they are going to get involved in the plot
Anon, do you understand what you're saying here?

You're saying that, if this is how they end up doing it, then the main playable cast for Cold Steel 3 is not only weaklings compared to the adults, but they are also weaklings compared to the original Class VII, which we just went through 2 games where they were already weaklings as it is. So now the power levels have DROPPED by a massive amount and that's supposed to be okay?
>>
>>378079875
Would the new class have their levels to be somewhat close to the series cast veteran levels? Or would they start at low level, with everybody else as guest party members?

>>378080416
Obviously they would have improved in the time being, maybe not crazy levels stronger but hey. What i'm saying it not regarding power levels, just their presence in the story.
>>
>>378080467
I'd assume that for gameplay reasons they'll be somewhat lower than Rean's aside from some more experienced characters, but they'll catch up.
>>
>>378080725
My issue is power levels. We already went through 2 games where the main cast couldn't accomplish anything on their own and had to be bailed out by grown ups. Falcom seems to think that having NPCs come in at the last minute and save you every time you face the big bad villains is somehow the same as giving you a cast that is capable of saving the day themselves. Its not.

I'm sick of the cold steel cast being saved by NPCs. I don't want another infernal castle where all the enforcers are too powerful and the good guys have to be saved by grown ups because they're weak kids. That's not rewarding at all.
>>
>>378080617
They probably didn't think anyone would use Richard.
>>
>>378081134
Richard is mandatory for that fight.
>>
>>378080956
To be fair, through all of SC you also get fucked in the ass by Ouroboros at every turn. By the end you do manage to show how much everyone improved as seen by them fighting the enforcers and actually beating them aside from Loewe.

I think the main problem with Cold steel, is that that moment didn't happen yet because the climax of their arc has not happened. Even in Zero/Ao the cast gets outpalyed a lot, until the end where they start to kick back.

Plus, i don't think all of the fights were them being rescued was it? Duvalie and Leblanc were decent, but not THAT strong. Toval and Olivier just fought them in your place so you could keep moving.

It hasn't happened and it's not going to happen now because we're right back at the start with a main cast of weak kids, this time maybe even weaker than the original class vii. Explain to me how the cast is supposed to surpass the lowly heights it reached in cs2 when we have a new class of kids instead of a cast of experienced vets. That's why I'm unsure about this new class vii. It feels like we're going backwards amd that point where the good guys save the day by their own hands will not come.

Maybe you should stop being mentally challenged and stop giving so much of a fuck about powerlevels, when you don't know how the story is going to go.

Class VII is going to show up again and lend a hand, and the cast from Crossbell is involved too and they have a lot of super strong people, Plus Agate and Tita with her Orbal gear.

Sounds like more getting saved by grownups instead of beating the bad guys ourselves. All those characters, we've never seen any indications that they're in the main cast or even playable. All we know is that they're there in the new branch helping olivert, but olivert isn't our protagonist. Rean and his new class is.

These kids are going to be saved by liberl, crossbell, AND erebonian characters (as NPCs) while accomplishing nothing on their own strength. Sorry but that's what it looks like to me so far.
>>
>>378081621
Unless Rean or Altina somehow became "weak kids", I don't see that being a reasonable concern.

So you spent all this time whining about having to play as "new weak kids" and now you deem Rean, Altina and by extension the rest of Class VII as weaklings who somehow haven't grown an inch in year and a half. Way to shitpost yourself in a corner.

Cold Steel are good games but it's inexcusable that the main playable cast had to be saved by NPCs after every god damn fight on the way up the infernal castle.

Rean and class vii weren't even strong enough to beat their own game and had to be SAVED BY NPCs. Altina repeatedly got beaten up by those same weaklings. So, yeah, they're all objectively weak. This isn't the Sky cast, which defeated Weissman in SC and all of liberl's strongest in 3rd.

Yes, they only needed the help of an Enforcer and a monstrously powerful group of adult allies like Mueller, Kevin, Zin, and so on so forth to make any of this work.
>>
>>378083641
Considering a canonically weak cast has been a thing the series has done every step of the way, I don't see why you suddenly think now is the best time to bitch.

How many times is someone gonna have to jump in and beat the bad guy on your behalf in these games before you learn that?

>Believe it or not, faggot, some people don't like playing a game where your main playable cast is incapable of overcoming the enemy and has to be saved by NPCs.
Then don't play them? Don't get me wrong, the way they went about it was fucking lame, but not every game has to have unstoppable war gods as its playable cast.

This is a narrative based series, story rpg's, sometimes the "good" guys get beaten by the bad guys in the story.
>>
>>378083641
Remember how everyone in the cast of sky got their asses handed to them at every single turn and the final dungeon they all suddenly ate a bowl of steroids and beat the big bads legitimately? It's going to happen this time most likely too, so sit down instead of crying about it when the game is not even out yet. Plus even then they still had to be bailed out.

I know about the twist, but it technically still counts as being bailed out even considering it, it is a nice twist though.

>>378083969
But the Sky cast didn't even fight the Enforcers directly first (just fought the summons/mook boss). Then when they fought at the towers, all the Enforcer did was stick around long enough for the objective to be completed before bailing out.

The one time they actually struggled was against the Reverie robot, and the Weissman using the aureole with the barrier.

Sure i don't disagree. But we don't know how things will play out this time, so maybe the main cast could contain strong characters this time, and you don't know how much progress Class VII has made once they return, because i'm pretty sure they will join up again. Some of them could be way stronger now.

I don't get why you're intellectually incapable of wrapping your head around a simple concept but I'll try one more time.

In sky, those adults who helped win the day were in the main playable cast. They were right there in the trenches, part of an all-star cast of heroes.

In Cold Steel, they were NPCs not the main cast. The main cast consisted of weal students they had to bail out.

Get it now? These kids can't even beat their own game

>>378084816
No, your the one who doesn't get a goddamn thing, your argument is moot. Pointless. Gentile even.

You bitch and moan up and down about how you want your characters to be represented as god crushing brutes whenever that's not going to actually affect the gameplay, and if you are just now bitching about this point after so much of the series stays far fucking away from this idea of being over the top strong, then the only issue lies in that tiny ass brain of yours being incapable of understanding the story is going to be what it's going to be, and you bitching to it around here isn't going to change that anything you want doesn't fucking matter because even if someone who could enact changes to the game to make it more like YOU want did hear you, they sure as fuck would not.

Your better off taking your ball, going home, and playing another game at this point, I heard god of war might be up your alley.

I think Sky Evo only uses Zero/Ao's game mechancs, it's not really broken.

They did make some things more powerful, like Julia's craft of orders now having AT advance, crimson eye giving +5 spd instead of removing spd and other minor things.

Zero/AO is the exact same.

>>378085273
They don't need to be world beaters but defeating the bad guys is a basic fucking requirement for an RPG's playable cast and the cold steel kids weren't even able to even do that.

Think very carefully about what you are claiming.

You are claiming that the members of the cast cannot bail out each other, and are ignoring a lot of what happened during the end of the Liber Ark.

Can you justify your badposting or is this where you take a break and rethink your approach?

No other RPG in the world has a main playable cast that is so canonically weak after 2 games that they have to be bailed out by grownups multiple times in the final dungeon
>>
>>378085620
Eevery other game in the series has a main playable cast that is at least capable of beating enforcers EXCEPT cold steel
>>
>>378085434

Cool. I guess Zero/Ao Evo have more upsides than downsides so I'll go ahead and pay the extra money to get them.
>>
>>378085175
Oh no, the Sky party got "bailed out" by the Sky party itself. That means it's the same as the CS cast losing all their battles and being bailed out by NPCs. I don't think you thought this out.
>>

And cold steel couldn't give us a playable cast of grownups that are actually capable of accomplishing what they set out to do? That's a problem.

>>378085761
Not even the same cast my dude. We get a whole new class of weak kids. The old class vii moved on.
>>
>>378085740

The Sky party got bailed out by adults then! Which is what you spent a good amount of time denying, for some very silly reason only known to yourself! But we are making some progress.

And thanks for explaining that you didn't play any Cold Steel games. I'm sure you can invent some nonsense about how Valimar lost to the Crimson God or how the Final Boss beat the cast, but your lies are not necessary for this thread.
>>
>>378085768
But the bad guys we fought didn't win. They lost hard, nobody's ever been as destroyed as Shita Clotilde. But they didn't lose to the playable cast, they lost to to NPCs in cutscenes.

Rean should also be cutting buildings in half like raiden after he gives into the dark hadou and eats his father's heart and goes off to skulk about with ouroborous and then the grandmaster should be like "Your super cool rean and also a total badass" and hand the reigns off to rean and then rean should totally kill new class 7 but then old class seven shows up and he has a redemptive moment and they let him walk away to live as an ancient sword hermit in the hills.

The only people who have a single doubt in their mind that the new Class VII could possibly be weaker than the original Class VII are the people who don't know shit

Rean: Strong enough. We know that something's holding him back but will probably be solved by the end and he'll be strong af.
Altina: Ironblood; no stranger to combat and only at the age of 16.
Yuna: Undergone training in Crossbell's Police Academy. She already starts out more tactically skilled than half of the original class
Kurt: A genius swordsman from the Vandall family. 'Nuff said.

If the fact that Thors II being a more legitimate military school than the original Thors does not tell you that the students from Thors II are going to be more experienced in about almost every aspect than the students from the original Thors, then you need to pay more damn attention and stop talking out of your ass

>it's a "cold steelfags shit up a thread episode because they can't handle their games being the worst in the series"

>>
>>378086708
Okay this is honestly a bullshit take. So you think it'd be ok to saddle the player with more weak kids that need to be saved just so we can see them be saved by the old main cast once they're no longer the main cast? IMO that would be total crap and I really hope they don't do that.

I guess my only hope now is that Kurt, Juna, and Altina turn out to be canonically more powerful than the old class vii
>>
>>378086778
No, but the main cast should be able to fight its own battles. Not only is Class VII bailed out against every enforcer, they're bailed out against a soldier grunt by Sharon and generic beast miniboss by Neithard.

You mean "competent and actually capable of beating the bad guys for once in their life"

You know what, on second thought, I think the new class IS more powerful than old class vii and that they WILL be able to actually beat the bad guys in cs3. I guess old class vii was just a remarkable class of weaklings. Can't wait to see Kurt, Juna, and Altina show those scrubs how it's done

>>378088564
The pillar shrunk to being two arge large, I believe.

It isn't being developed for Vita. If, or rather, when it gets localized by NISA, they'll release it on PC alongside the PS4 version on day 1. XSEED still a shit.

The games play very differently.
>Ys 1 and 2 - bump combat
>Oath in Felghana, Naphistim and Origin are fast paced and skill based isometric action rpgs
>Ys Seven, Celceta and VIII are party based RPGs that are much slower paced then the former and not nearly as challenging

>>378095081
They're doing a universal release for Ys VIII. PC's getting it at the same time as PS4, so I doubt it'd be different if NISA localized Sen III.
>>
>>378095081
If NISA gets it the PC version will be day 1 as with PS4 version. If XSHIT gets it who knows when will the PC version comes out. There'll be no dual audio as well

Even if NISA tries for a Kiseki license (depending on their own situation, which has been rocky up until very recently), they're more likely to wait for the Calvard arc than start with Sen III. And Falcom may not value loyalty, but they do value sales results, so CS I & II selling well on PC for XSEED helps Falcom and would be the smoking gun for XSEED's bid, hypothetically. Tokyo Xanadu wasn't a priority for XSEED when bidding started after launch and they clearly regret not getting Ys VIII, so I can't see them getting defeated a third time if they know what they're doing now.

>>378092413
>XSEED trails have flopped so badly
Show me a good source for Cold Steel sales on PS3/Vita, then I'll listen. As for PC sales, Trails FC is maybe their best-selling game ever, and it hasn't dipped below $10 yet. 275k or so owners at that price point and lenient revenue cut (plus GOG/Humble money), for a company with less than 20 employees, is great, and it continues to sell well because of people wanting to get into SC and 3rd. I've heard positive things about Cold Steel (II)'s sales as well.

Also not sure how you know even roughly how close XSEED's gotten to bankruptcy. They almost went under around 2012 because of PSP piracy before their slate that year did much better, starting their move towards PC as well. Akiba's Beat may not break even, but I don't see how one game can break the bank if they've been saving for a potential bomb.
>>
You retards act like NISA even want it. They don't. Nobody would touch kiseki before xseed agreed to because they're a lot of fucking work for little profit. If xseed doesn't do it then nobody does.
>>
>>378094830
Yes get YS Chronicles they're remakes that are very faithful to the original
>>
>>378095345
NISA is desperate for franchises after losing Gust and IF, they can no longer afford to be picky. If they see there's demand for Kiseki, they'll bid for it from now on.

FC is the second bestselling Falcom game in the west, with the bestselling being Ys Origin. You bet NISA wants the modern Kiseki games that have a wider appeal.

How do Atelier games play?

I've seen Atelier Sophie on steam is that a good entry into the series?
>>
>>378095947
>FC the game that has been out for years, was hyped as fuck and was constantly having discounts
>Best selling game
Woah, who knew
>>
>>378095947
FC was a fluke because of timing, it was one of the few JRPGs on steam and hit at the right time to get big sales from people who would never finish the game. Every trails title on steam since then has sold a fraction of the amount FC did. Kiseki doesn't sell in the west and it never will. The tiny profit involved is only good for a tiny company
>>
>>378096049
JUST LIKE ALL THE YS GAMES AND THE REST OF THEIR CATALOGUE
WOW!
>>
>>378096017
Differently from your average JRPG. You don't control a party of chosen ones, instead your MC is a cute alchemist just setting up shop. Your main objective is fill out tasks and develop new alchemical recipes.

Sophie is the beginning of a new Saga so its a good starting point as any.
>>
>>378096017
It's kind of difficult to describe how Atelier games play. Basically, you do alchemy stuff and talk to people and by doing those things more content/plot is gradually unlocked for you. You don't have to really play the previous games to enjoy them, although characters can be recurring. If you just want an Atelier PC game with nice modern graphics yeah, Sophie's fine to start with. The PS2 games are worth playing, though, so you may want to emulate those first.
>>
>>378096247
>The PS2 games are worth playing, though, so you may want to emulate those first.
The localized PS2 games are waaaaaaay too radically different from the Atelier formula though, I wouldn't recommend them.
>>
>>378096064
Let's apply some logic to that:
>SC and 3rd are direct sequels that come with over a hundred hours of story baggage
>SC sold a fraction of FC because of this, and 3rd sold a fraction of SC for the same reason
Zero will sell well, and Cold Steel 1 will easily rival FC. Why? They come with no perceived baggage. Their sequels will suffer the same fate as SC/3rd.

I can see NISA waiting for Calvard for this very reason, because Sen III requires not only CS1 and 2, but Zero and Ao as well.
>>
>>378096225
You don't have to like it but it's reality. A company like NISA would never ever touch crossbell for example. They only like easy jobs that make big profit, not hard jobs that make little profit.
>>
>>378096017
>>378096247
Also, I don't know if you're the kind of gamer who likes to play through games blind or with guides, but documentation is very sparse on Sophie right now, so if you're the guide type you may want to start with the PS2 games and maybe there will be more documentation of Sophie by the time you get to it.
>>
>>378096209
>>378096247
>your MC is a cute alchemist just setting up shop

Neat, sounds kind of like Recettear and I loved that game. I think I'll check it out
>>
>>378096365
>Zero will sell wel
No it won't. It will sell half the amount FC did given the same amount of time at best. FC benefits from huge amounts of people who bought it and would never finish it. Those people aren't going to buy zero they are done with trails
>>
>>378096374
Nigger do you even know how big the script is for Dana? Shit's FC sized, they can handle that they can handle kiseki.

Now stop mumbling like goddamn faggot and wait for the localization announcement like the rest of us, regardless of who brings it you're so deep into the series you'll buy it anyways so stop fretting like a goddamn retard

Ehhhhhhh, I enjoyed them a lot. I'd recommend most of Nippon Ichi and Gust's PS2 games honestly: the Disgaeas, the Ateliers, La Pucelle, Phantom Brave, Soul Nomad, the Ar Tonelicos, the Mana Khemias... PS2 was a really, really great console for "weeb games." All of these games are really easy to emulate, too; not demanding at all.
>>
>>378095812
Doesn't mean the situations with Ys and Trails are that close for comparison. Ys stories are mostly self-contained, meaning fans don't mind as much if different localizers handle different games (though I'm skeptical NISA will match the quality level of XSEED's Ys translation/editing). A vocal plurality of Trails fans value localization quality enough to desire just XSEED working on the series, and some are learning Japanese just in case XSEED doesn't ever get around to Crossbell. I doubt NISA cares too much whether or not they put out a great product if they somehow get Kiseki, but negative word of mouth could kill sales outside East Asia for English releases. Positive word of mouth saved the localization effort back in 2014.

Anyway, we need to wait and see how CS PC stuff goes for XSEED. I'm hoping the summer release date helps CS I on PC at least, if they can make it in time without botching the launch. Release timing is everything, something I hope Xanadu Next drilled into Ken Berry and friends. Great sales = high likelihood of XSEED doing Cold Steel III since Falcom's much more interested in Western PC sales now (look at Aksys commissioning a PC version of Tokyo Xanadu).

I'm desperately hoping XSEED's Brandish stream on Friday leads to a surprise PC port announcement for The Dark Revenant...plz

>>378096049
>very rarely, if ever, below a $10 price point
It's helping SC sales now, too, since a few people here and there beat the game and want more.

>>378096064
So because FC "was a fluke", that means you have a sourced, educated guess on how much Cold Steel's done? I've seen a lot more online discussion of Trails since Cold Steel came out, and it seems to be treated as a staple well beyond this place.

>>378096505
Dana's large, but only about as much as Tokyo Xanadu. Both are around .66x the size of FC's script. And we don't know how NISA's taking the pressure on a script this big to edit. Translation's less the issue.
>>
>>378096571
Crossbell's size is still up in the air. New numbers came up that contradict previous counts and put them at FC/3rd size.

CS3 is going to be massive, but again, NISA is desperate and they've realized there is a market for Falcom games and they're willing to bet on it.

>>
>>378096064
>Kiseki doesn't sell in the west
This surprises me. I had an itch to play a new JRPG one day, and I haven't exhausted the PSP library of JRPGs yet, so I searched Metacritic for PSP RPGs and found Trails rated super fucking high. I'm surprised more people don't give it a shot since it's so highly rated online. You'd think people looking for JRPGs would find such a highly rated title.
>>
>>378096571
Script size is literally irrelevant to a company that makes its living off of localization. There are VN fan translation groups consisting of one translator and an editor who tackle bigger projects by themselves.
>>378096483
Nah, it'll sell just fine. Steam normies won't connect the dots between Sky and Zero and will give it a try because the Crossbell harem is more appealing than the incest duo in FC.
>>
>>378096669
Not that anon, but the only solid number combines FC, SC and cs1, so you'd have to guess.
>>
>>378096652
>Ehhhhhhh, I enjoyed them a lot.
I won't tell you you're wrong for enjoying them, but the Iris games are the least Atelier of the Atelier games and Mana Khemia might as well be a spin off, that was my point.

About NISA's PS2 catalogue, I'd only really recommend Soul Nomad. Could never get into the disgaea gameplay and humor and Phantom Brave bored me to tears from the tutorial. But we're getting off topic

>>378096938
Normies aren't buying these games no matter what you dumbfuck. Especially not dated ones like crossbell. Cold steel maybe but crossbell fuck no

>Script size is literally irrelevant to a company that makes its living off of localization
Lol funny joke anon. Why do you think NISA worked on neptunia but never once touched kiseki even though they were available for anyone who wanted them. One was little work for big profit the other is lots of work for little profit it's that simple.

Only xseed was willing to step up and take it on.

CS I at least did well, maybe not the sequel unless player completion's higher than it has been for FC.

>>378096948
There's a combined number (around 1 million) for how much the Cold Steel games have sold worldwide, counting sales Taiwan and South Korea as well as Japan and NA/Europe. Even if Asian sales take up the lion's share, even a 150k total for XSEED would be good relative to budget and license fees. But I bet CS I's made that percentage higher recently, and could continue to.

Somehow 3rd's doing comparably if not a bit better than SC did at launch. There's already a baseline for how well Crossbell can do even if not that many people have beaten FC/SC.

>>378097186
Hi
>>
>>378097371
Not like it matters either way. If cold steel does well on pc then xseed keeps kiseki and does crossbell next. If cold steel bombs on pc then xseed drops kiseki and NOBODY ELSE PICKS IT UP. No, not even your beloved NISA
>>
>>378096807
Kondo's ass, actually. New numbers came from XSEED who got them from Falcom. It was mentioned in one of the Tumblr localization blogs
>>
>>378097436
There is also the combined number for the first three games in English from early last year, which was about 350k.
>>
>>378097184
Neptunia has wide appeal, Sora was an ugly, dated looking series. NISA's localized plenty of titles whit shit loads of text, so again, script size has little to do with it. Now that Kiseki is popular in the west, they're obviously interested.

Don't worry about playing Crossbell guys. You are only missing out on some of the best soundtrack that Falcom has ever produced and half the story leading up to CS3

Experiencing the music while playing the game is not same as listening to it. My biggest regret about Crossbell is enjoying it's OST before I played the game and it lost the a lot of the magic while I was playing the game.

>>378097581
Right (and I was forgetting that PR for some reason, thank you). Given that was announced back in March 2016, well before Cold Steel II released, FC would have sold around ~200k at that point, SC maybe around 15-20k, leaving Cold Steel I.

>>378097645
Ao's OST is really impressing me the more I dig in. I already know the final boss themes really well, so it's awesome to hear the rest of the soundtrack compares.

Usually the magic stays even when I'm finally playing through a Falcom game after hearing its music, but yeah, it's a problem for others. I was about to post Ao music links but, really, you can jump anywhere in the album on streaming and experience something great, if you're that interested.

Crosbell games music are pretty jazzy it fit the urban style they wanted to give to the whole game specially since some parts were based in new york and the calvard part was based on Hong Kong. It was some kind of chinatown.

By the way, if kiseki isn't even profitable enough for a tiny company like xseed then that's the market saying it doesn't want kiseki. That's the end of the road.

XSEED clearly doesn't know how business work, either.

Its even worse than Renne past.

>>378099642
I dunno, but I'm sure never going to give this place a dime if the mods insist on being so fucking incompetent.

>>378099642
Just wait until a Kiseki title is purchased by NISA. It'll literally be unbearable.

Unfortunately the Senfag/s keep shitting them up, I can't wait to spoil III for them
>>
>>378099642
Nope, we got the autistic "Reanfag" that makes retarded comments who also samefags himself with "CSfaggots are complete fucking idiots" guy. Try to call it out and he just spergs out with muh boogeyman.

This is what happens when you have daily threads.

Oh I didn't he was the one that try to correct. Why Xseed went for Zane anyway?

When Sen releases on PC.
When Sen III releases in Japan.

>>378099642
Sure, you niggers just have to stop having at least one thread up 24/7 like a fucking general and we stop getting all these shitposters.
>>
>>378099845
Because they can't into chinese names.

>>378099685
He wouldn't do this considering he urged XSEED to localized CS I & II ahead of Zero/Ao precisely to releases the games before the PS3 market for these games migrates to PS4.

The PSP translation of FC, while good, had clear mistakes which they've been slowly correcting over the years. PC script got some work on scenes like Agate chasing Lorence, and now Zane's back to Zin because of reasons. Not sure if Kloe's going to stick, but Klose isn't as integral for her character as "Zin" (since Klaudia could have chosen Kloe or Klose, whichever stood out less, but Zin may not have been in a situation requiring a new name).

Just imagine what regular Ys VIII threads will become.

Yet another thread ruined by the senshitters
>>
>>378099126
Holy fuck stop reading fanfiction. Rean's adoptive parents were absolutely based, and only reason he didn't feel familial love from Elise was because she wanted to fuck him. Class VII doesn't abandon Rean. They graduate, and they tell him to visit any time. In fact, Kondo already said Rean has kept in touch with them. And fuck off with this emotionless husk punished Rean meme. We've seen him smiling, and his intro quote is him being a goofy goodnatured newbie teacher.

I swear, nobody misunderstands Rean as much as his biggest fanboys.

It's because Senfags can't into reading

>>378100236
And the guy who can't stop talking about them.

>>378100341
If you know you're shitting up the threads then why don't you leave?
>>
>>378100140
>Klose
I didn't know she was not only a princess but an expert at scoring goals with her head.
>>
>>378099421
Kevin, Joshua, Renne and Randy all trash Rean when it comes to muh dark past.
>>
Besides, I've only made 50 posts

Well, they managed to release the games in the west before the platform died, so mission accomplished. The PS4 still has many years left, and will likely be the lead platform for the series for many more entries. Perfect time for Falcom to start pushing someone to localize Crossbell. I legitimately won't touch CS3 until Crossbell has been released in the west.

You are small time. This entire thread is me.

The OP image is literally a smiling instructor Rean.

>>378100776
Damn, that's good.

>>378099919
I predict Sen on PC will only make the threads worse.

I'll post a new thread soon

Nude mods plz.

>It's because Senfags can't into reading
Only if you learn some proper grammar.

I just hope CS sells enough on PC to make them port III faster to it.

You probably just wanted to steer the discussion back on rails but your post is so retarded I'm going to use it as copypasta. Thanks for the meal.
