Trails to Zero is the official translation. Xseed even has the domain name TrailstoZero.com registered. If/when it gets localized, that will be the name.

Let me guess you're one of the dumbfucks who used to call Sen Trails in the Flash?

Trails to Zero was never an "official" title. It was taken from an xseed tumblr that stated it is a TENTATIVE title until they officially announce they are working on it. It will probably be called "Trails of the Void".

sorry m8 but that explanation makes no sense. They wouldn't register trailstozero.com if that wasn't the expected title of the game. In fact, if that wasn't what they had in mind, then they would be actively discouraging people from referring to it as that.

Anon, of course they're going to say that. They haven't announced anything so naturally they wouldn't want to lock themselves into something when they have no need to.

I believe some anons mentioned something about the Ao version only have a Chinese port for PC but no Japanese one. Zero's has one, and apparently doesn't really have DRM, while the Chinese one has, and Ao's did have some, but it's not in place anymore, and there's even a download for it available.

I see it as a possibility. But not the collector's edition stuff.

Definitely no CE, but GOG releases mean we can have the games DRM-free for ownership. The only problem after getting Ao a good PC version is making sure both games have consistent features, upgrades, and HD assets to match the Sky games on Steam/GOG. I'm not worried about translation/editing since

One grand overarching plot between 7 games, great story and world-building, and probably the best romance story in a video game.

And lots and lots of twist cliffhanger endings.

>>378493139
I find it weird that /v/ would have people disliking the idea of non blood related siblings dating.

>>378493465
Depends on whether you mean Trails in the Sky, Trails of Cold Steel, or Trails in general.

The main appeal of Trails in general is the fact that it's a huge series of 7 (going on 8 soon) games split up between three different story arcs that are both self-contained stories and part of a larger Trails storyline. Trails has a heavy emphasis on little details and foreshadowing, which makes them fun to play for the mystery you encounter along the journey

Trails in the Sky are the oldest games. Their main draw is the world building. Dialogue is written very well and effectively establishes the specific nature of individual characters in ways other games do not. Each character, including countless NPCs, have their own lives and you can often follow their individual storylines by regularly interacting with them again after every story event. Aside from that, they have a great soundtrack, story, and one of the best vidya romances.

Trails of Cold Steel is a bit different. It's newer and tends to have more modern anime tropes in it. The dialogue isn't as wordy or impressive, but you can still do the same thing with NPCs like in the Sky series. It's great if you like school settings, pick your own waifu, or stories about an empire's internal political conflicts.

The other story arc, the crossbell games, aren't localised yet so i can't say much about them.

I don't know what to tell you to make you play the games. I played Sky first, because i wanted a traditional JRPG and that's what i got, and i loved it. Maybe you hate turn-based combat or 90s anime tropes, but if you do play it, you'll get charming characters, an immersive world, and kickass music. If you play the whole series, you'll be treated to endless references and call-backs. It's quite a delight, if i do say so.

Basically, part of the charm of the series is how it references things from 2-3 games ago. You'll sit up and say "Hey! I remember that guy or Event!". With most RPGs like Final Fantasy or Tales, the most you'll get in terms of references are mascots like Moogles or Chocobos.

Trails has characters, referenced in a novel, who joins your party, and kicks the butt of another character you heard about 2 games ago, who was plotting a scheme that spans the whole series. I

Evo is only in japanese so that's an option IF you speak the language. The main advantage evo has is the full voice acting for the main story, which the steam version lacks. The steam version itself is a significant upgrade over any other english version though since it's in HD.

As for whether or not you should play it, that's up to you, but I always recommend it. You will get to see a whole lot more of Prince Olivert since he is one of the first new playable characters you encounter and he is playable in all three games. In 3rd you ca learn about his rivalry with osborne and the basis for Class VII. The sky games tell the story of the "liberl incident" that is referenced throughout cold steel

No bonding/social events so the whole Link System is non-existent. Some Arts don't exist and the whole Orbal arts thing is measured through an Orbment Count system that tallies up certain elements in conjunction with others to give you spells.

They're all playable but it really comes down to preference

Compared to Cold Steel, Sky combat is similar but slower. Also you will find arts are used way more in the Sky games so there's a lot of defensive action rather than just straight up annihilating things with crafts. Healing every turn, using earth wall to reduce the damage you're taking, character positioning is more important etc

I think in the case of Crow, it's more of a matter of just him being lost. He never had some great or grand ideal, he just wanted to get revenge.

I'm still on boat that Olivier can find someone better than Schera. Maybe it's because I didn't find her nearly as interesting as the rest of the Sky cast nor finding her beef with Lucciola silly as shit.

I liked Jusis. He was in my active party in most of Cold Steel because of his Noble Command, his latent ATS buff. He's a good mage. As for his character, he's pretty interesting. The aloof way of acting is typical for a noble, but he warms up to you once you take a liking to his hobbies, like Horses. Plus he's a good rival for Rean.

Not to deny all of your logic on it, but the problem with Renne is that she was still a young child, who was a complete victim of fucked up shit done to her. Crow was old enough to know what he was doing, and it wasn't even over something that tragic.

There was nothing to save. Crow was not abducted, brainwashed and conditioned to do anything. He, by his own will, became a terrorist that "killed" the de facto leader of the country, hurt innocents and supported the faction that gleefully burned down his fellow poorfag plebs. Vita merely offered him the power, it was he himself that chose to walk down that path. What do you save about a guy like that? Only thing you can try to save him from is public execution, and that won't happen by dragging his ass back to school, but rather hiding him outside Erebonia.

Some want to blame everything they don't like in the recent games solely on Kondo, and so they'll twist his own comments regardless of context. It's like Takeiri and his underlings don't exist.

We don't know who on the writing team was most responsible for the romance in Sky. Kondo made it seem like he was speaking for the writing teams on those games when making that self-criticism, which he would probably do for any of their scripts. There's always something to improve or which wasn't actually a good idea to begin with, and Falcom's always rushing a little bit to make games this large with so few people.

>>378501310
Moon Door 2 fleshes her out plenty, and her dating and/or marrying Olivier could mean interesting times for both of them. I bet he's going to become an honorary Bracer and sponsor of the Guild once he does what he can against Osborne.

>>378503792
She'll become less of a bitch over time and Falcom will brusquely imply their romance. I bet Richard might find himself in future trouble since he's a great fighter, even when rusty, and still has to do dirty work for his former boss.

It's like they decide these things as a group, and cribbing tropes from other developers (as fits their market) is nothing new for them. But it clearly hasn't helped their reception, so we're already seeing some changes with Sen III (like the Juna/Kurt implied pair, Olivier acknowledging his limitations and Plan B, etc). Best case, XSEED's relayed some complaints about writing in Cold Steel (II) overseas and they're listening a bit more, or there's been mixed reactions to certain writing from Korean/Taiwanese players.

Kondo's just an aggressive Gagharv fanboy who shouldn't be let near the script if and when they remake those favorites. I haven't seen sourced, non-construed evidence that he, explicitly, is the root of harem/chuuni/insert-modern-LN-trope-here shenanigans. Most of the worst of this in Kiseki games he's directed (mainly Zero and Ao) seems tame compared to what Sen I & II introduced and played straight.

Finding an example of just one Falcom writer's work, aside from Gurumin and Xanadu Next (both solely by Kondo...the latter really avoids everything he gets blamed for), is difficult. I think Ys Origin has the most Takeiri writing in that series (definitely more focus on romance/tough relationships, more subtle implication and conversations in circles), but I don't think he ever works alone.

>>378513473
It's only hard because xseed got caught in a bad position. If they localized Zero after the Sky games, then Coldsteel wouldn't get localized for 2 more years - when the PS3 is assuredly dead. It was basically a hurry to localize Coldsteel while some people still had their PS3's set up and haven't put them away for the PS4. With CS3 on the PS4, they're in a better position - and now that Coldsteel is coming to Steam, they won't have to worry about dead consoles. Zero and Ao just need new PC builds.
>>
>>378513562
That's too bad. I'd like a cuddly protagonist that's kind and friendly most of the time but who will wreck you up if you threaten or harm the people he cares about. I'm not a fan of excessive brooding and such.

Very good, now you can be one of the enlightened supermen who know the truth of how good it actually is, without bias brought about by jealous EOPs who shitpost that it's "not actually as good as weebs say it is" or whatever they do
Really, Zero is fantastic because it's all so low-scale and not about global phenomenon or anything yet; you spend half the game just being cops trying to bust the mafia
And, of course, there are really emotional scenes like the one you posted btw when you find out why Renne and the gang are ACTUALLY in Crossbell you're going to scream and cry like a little bitch

What >>378513554 says is also true, Ao is where Master Quartz are introduced and it's done perfectly, there was no need to ever change it
Akatsuki actually changed it back, probably due to fan backlash about Sen's babby version of the system
The power scale in Ao gets way higher though, with blatant Ouroboros involvement and a shitton of politics, so it's not quite as comfy, but it deserves the praise it gets in its own way

He's practically that but that brooding part as well as one other issue in CS2 really weakens his character and the overall plot because of it. CS3 has him in a situation where his brooding is legitimately reasonable. It's where his situation and circumstances are more interesting than his actual character.

As an EOP I have no problems with the Zero/Ao guys, you guys seem legit enough. The only part of the fanbase I hate are the Senfags.
>>
>>378513702
The problem is that Zero and Ao really rely on knowledge of Trails in the Sky. Part of the reason why the scene I posted is so emotional is because you know her backstory. Since each successive game in the series has sold less and less on PC, and Zero/Ao require folks to have played the earlier games...

>>378513806
Yeah, PSP version. I hopped in directly after the 3rd because I figured enough was enough and I was having withdrawals. If you have a Vita the EVO versions are easy enough to find, I'll probably tackle EVO for my 100% playthrough.

Yeah, I'm only not actually posting most of them because it's best to hear them in context for yourself
There are a lot that you hear constantly over the course of the game (the Geofront theme comes to mind), and one of Ao's strengths is that it gives you new, even better tracks for the parts you inevitably return to, paired with returning themes from Zero's already godlike soundtrack
it's just all a magical experience

>>378514692
I don't think I could pick a single favorite if I tried
I could in the Kiseki series as a whole, that's Overdosing Heavenly Bliss, but that one's been arranged so many times and gets so much love from the composers I doubt it's fair to count it
Though I suppose the comfiest was probably Exhilarating Ride, that one sells the "you're cops in a big city riding a police car" better than any other
and it's just fucking cutscene music

>>378515424
Crossbell is the comfiest JRPG city ever designed because not only does it have themes like that (and its replacements during certain chapters/events), but it has different districts with their own appropriate themes because it's fucking huge
I vividly recall the feeling of excitement every time I'd go past Arc-en-Ciel for sidequests or whatever, and I'm sure that's intentional because that's what a big city is supposed to feel like
Radiata Stories' titular city is the only JRPG city I'd ever consider coming close to it in comfiness factor, and it's for the same "theme song distribution" reason mostly

>>378514436
Nothing happened to jdk Band until after Sen II; some tracks in Ys VIII use live performers from the new jdk Band lineup, but they're frankly amateurs compared to who Yukihiro Jindo works with for his Falcom arrangements.

Sen (II) focuses a lot more on styles which Hayato Sonoda and Takahiro Unisuga excel at. They're now the dominant, mainstay musicians in Sound Team jdk after the other musicians involved with Crossbell (Osaki and, in particular, Momiyama) left Falcol for other projects.

Things are looking very zombie Crow.

Because it's clear what characters are supposed to be important, and which ones are just there to keep party balance when the group is split on field trips and wouldn't even be there if the game didn't have the school month system.

Elliot is clearly the latter.

where is your mask priestman?

>>378501640

Him either getting over himself and/or accepting his place in the world.

Because it seems like he keeps retreating into "I am shit, I must live to keep everyone happy without caring about myself" all the damn time while also wanting to find his place in the world, then rejecting every possibly option in favor of clinging to Thors.

Even though literally every group in Erebonia wanted to recruit him, he passed up all of it to hang out in Thor's an extra year, even though any reason he had to stay there left, then he opts to go to the next school instead.

Gauranteed in CS3 he'll still be everyone's gofer with no drive or motivation even though he should be a figure of authority at the school.

And that's the biggest problem with CS's system.
Locking character development behing events you can't fully view on one playthrough is a mistake.
I mean you can, but only on the second playthrough if you select max BP.

I haven't yet gotten around to Crossbell: why does Tio wear the cat ears?

>>378516012
I forgot how bad that voice acting was
>>
>>378531602
He doesnt have any issues, full stop. And while being a well balanced person with a caring support network and a strong sense of self isnt unrealistic, it is boring as fuck
>>
>>378532183
I'm not entirely sure myself, but i believe it's made like that because she likes cats, but they serve a function outside of looking cute, it's some sort of tech.
>>
>>378532183
Because she can.
>>
>>378531602
Gaius just seems to fly in a bubble above everyone else, he seems unaffected by everything everyone else has to deal with while only ever talking about "muh wind". Such a strange character.

>>378532183
Theyre antennas along with her breastplate serve to amplify her senses of the three higher elements as well as temporarily boost her analytical ability for use in l33t hacking sequences.
>>
>>378532448
to be fair, some japanese sentences have to be translated into much longer english lines and the quotes have very little time available.

Crow and laura talking out of sync was intentional though.

Is he the chillest dude in Kiseki?

>>378532742
She doesn't need them to boost her senses, she uses them to hide her ability to others for naturally sensing them because of her exposure to Gnosis.
>>
>>378532742
>senses of the three higher elements
So like Gralsritter, the Hexen clan and, uh, Gaius?
>>378532768
Rather than translated the majority of those were rewritten entirely.
The Japanese lines are kind of standard and safe. Not as funny as "shotguns and bows" that's for sure.
>>
>>378532768
Everything about these is awkward, the animations, the timing, the voices themselves, the delivery... I can't help but think that with better voice direction the voice actors could be pretty good. Jusis for example has a nice voice but he blows so many of his lines that he's just as painful to listen to as the other half of the cast

>>378532945
So the cat ears are holding back her senses?

Pretty sure they already have crossbell otherwise they never would've talked about it and even registered a domain name

They don't. Domain registration was to prevent squatting. At the time they registered it there was an infamous case of domain squatting going.
