For PC people who are gonna get into this and hang out with the characters during free time:

>Hanging out with Alisa

The most "forced" romantic option in the game. She starts out as a tsundere and you think "oh my fucking god no" but she chills out throughout the game and gets over the initial tit grab situation. Less of an interesting romantic option and more of a CP battery and girlbro as the game continues and you realize she isn't actually that annoying of a person. You might have to get used to the VA though.

>Hanging out with Elliot

Get ready to deal with Mr. Lack of Self Confidence here. Not only is he kind of fucking boring, but hanging out with Elliot always feels like you could have used your time in a better way. His music thing is sort of interesting but it's not enough.

>Hanging out with Laura

Awkward interactions that lead to cute moments. Laura doesn't know how to act girly, and you'll see how retarded this can get when you realize she has sword autism and knows nothing else. Despite her straightforward character that tends to have no major personality flaws, she's one of the most likable people anyways. She's pretty much another bro throughout most of the game. Also her dad is rad as fuck.

>Hanging out with Machias

Maybe you shouldn't even bother. He likes chess and coffee, so you already know he's a boring person. Hates nobles but goes completely fucking overboard with it and the rare times where he gets a cool moment always gets overshadowed when he has to start screaming about what a bunch of cocksuckers rich people are.

>Hanging out with Jusis

The most interesting party member in the cast. A noble who's got a lot of shit to deal with and him and Rean learn to have a bromance with each other the more they interact. Jusis is one of the few characters who actually gets some reasonable character development and it leads to far more interesting moments considering how important his role becomes later.
>>
>>385779346
Because of the way "Sen" is written/in context or whatever, it's very specific: "the glint of light seen when a weapon is rapidly drawn." Now you could use a lot of English words or terms to describe this, but because of how specific it is in the context of "Sen", the problem becomes "What is the best word or term we can use to describe this/translate into?"
>>
Probably gonna give this a pirate. I like Trails in the Sky but I don't know what this is worth.
Still, I at least know the PC version will be good.

>Hanging out with Emma

Mega milk, braids, and glasses. She's a weirdo who's pretty much the nicest and most genuine female party member. She'll do magic tricks for you and Rean will get distracted by her tits. You don't learn much about her until the second game, but if she charms you then you'll be satisfied with sticking with her until the second game gets released on Steam where you'll learn way more about her.

>Hanging out with Fie

Sleepy loli archetype with a lot of extra sass and sarcastic behavior tossed in. She seemed lame and extremely generic at first, but the more dialogue she gets the better of a character she becomes. She becomes a lot of fun later in the story. Was an ex-jeager and you'll learn all about her previous life style by hanging out with her. Becomes the group's first little sister if you don't feel like giving her the Cold Steel.

>Hanging out with Gaius

MUH WIND. This guy gets criticized a lot because he's just boring and doesn't really have any flaws. He mentions the wind a lot and is Rean's bro. It's like Laura except not a cute girl. That's pretty much it. Every encounter with this guy is just learning about how he knows nothing about the empire but he's also this extremely chill dude who seems way wiser than he should be.

>Hanging out with Instructor Sara

Your cool/chill teacher who unfortunately happens to be a disgusting alcoholic. You'd think her events would be cool and you'd actually learn some cool shit from her, but all she does is drink and talk about how hot older dudes are.

There's two other party members but I think you'll see what those characters are like when you get to them.

>>
>>385777684
First time buying it, wasn't buying a vita or PS3 for 2 games.
>>
>>385780317
Just one. There's no gameplay benefit to hanging with her, and you need to see all of her events to get her ending (you have more leeway with other characters since the requirements aren't too high).
She's a workaholic marshmallow. Since she's a glorified NPC she doesn't really get that much development, so you know exactly what you're getting into with her when you go in.

Its almost exactly like TitS FC.

Well, sort of. There's an early version of the Zero patch out and Ao has a spreadsheet for story stuff as well as a menu and inventory translation patch. Both are totally playable if you have some patience, but if you're expecting actually GOOD translations, then you're better off waiting for another six months or so.

1 is the introduction. Sure it takes 30 years to get going, but that's how it was with TiTS too. 60 hours of literally nothing, so that we could build world.

And considering you get a very different perspective this time around I think the build-up is justified.That being said 2 is the better game, but I won't mind replaying 1.

>>385789219
I know that, but I feel that there are better ways to build worlds than just having your teenage cast constantly talk about the countries problems in an unrealistic way. I think it would have been a little better if they :

a.) had books that explained the lore of the world, and had the newspaper cover the current events (which they did both, but I wish there was a little more to mitigate the exposition)

b.) made the radio an optional feature every night before you went to bed so that you could listen to the going-ons in Erebonia (basically the paper, but with a voice)

These would also flesh out the world imo and add a spice that would make it seem more alive than what it is. I'm not knocking the game or anything, I really did enjoy it, but these are just some things I would have done differently.

Sorry if this doesn't seem coherent, but I just got off of work and I really need to get to bed

Every character has a few unique skills, Everything else is fully customizable. You could make every party member the healer if you wanted, or make the tank a magic user primarily.

Huge part of the game is chatting up NPCs and getting side stories. Theres a more elaborate one involving a run away rich girl that comes up every chapter, and ends late into the 2nd game. You could miss it almost entirely if you didnt run around talking to everyone.

1 or 2 tricky bosses. If you spend any amount of time min maxxing your party you'll bowl over almost everything

It does not look that fucking good. Even with the pumped up resolution there's a lot of poor texture work on display, and it being a fucking Vita port doesn't really remedy that.

Cold Steel isn't exactly AAA. Personafags are just normies who think they're cool for playing intro-level weebshit. There's 0 chance any of them have even the slightest idea what Legend of Heroes is.
>>
>>385791958
They just need to make the porting costs to get into the game into the green though. That's why PC ports are so popular with publishers nowadays to begin with.
>>
>>385791458
It's the sequel no one likes but still sells more because highschool and waifus because damn the plot and characters are a huge step down.

Oh boy it's the game that killed Falcom.

Wheeeeee
>>
>>385790346
Barring the cold steel name, you're 100% right, he also has special powers he can't properly control and a super amazing mecha he was chosen by.
>>
>>385792254

Oh that is fucking perfect. I'm literally almost tempted to buy this now, just to cringe my way through it. Don't you just love it when the stars line up like this?

Don't forget his harem and how most of the male cast would have made a better MC.

Yes if it has dual audio. No otherwise.

There's also how his 'little sister' lusts after him and he's secretly the son of the main villain and most powerful man in the country.

He\s mostly ok as a protag in the first game. It the 2nd one that made him unbearable.
>>
>>385777684
I haven't decided.

I just finished TitS 3rd and I love it, but just about the only attractive thing I've seen about cold steel is that it has Trails in the title.

Is it worth it, /v/?
>>
>>385792508
No reply? Okay then I guess we exposed him.
>>
>>385793320
The anime high school aspect is heavy at times, and all the baggage that it comes with is there too.

But theres still a lot of Trails political drama in it as well.
If you loved TitS you wold at least enjoy CS
>>
>>385793320
Do you want to know more of the setting?
Then sure.
Did you like cast, plot ro something related to that? Don't touch.
Play zero instead, better game even if you're never seeing the sequel.

Should I play the other games first or can I just jump into this one?

You should but you don't need to.
It's like jumping into the Discworld series at Moving Pictures.

Wanted to get into this series for a while and got Trails in the Sky 1 on Steam recently. What a shame I'm really slow with playing JRPGs, but on the other side I'm happy there's a lot more games waiting for me to be played.
>>

I didn't really mind him in 2 either tbqh. Sure he's not exactly the Jesus of characterization, but he's solid.

You don't learn much about the setting, just Erebonia, noit even what Ouroboros is doing in Erebonia has been explained because wanking Rean for a whole game was more important.
>>
>>385794376
>Do you fucking speak fluent Japanese? If not, why does this matter?

If the english VA is bad then another language can be more bearable.
Original language can contextually make more sense.
Creator's intent.
>>
>>385794376
Because you don't need to understand a language to understand the performance, for example:

Which of these is the better performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAaJzTWX_Io

I'm assuming you know neither language.

Trails of Cold Steel's English dub is lacking, the voices are mostly okay but a great many lines were poorly directed with wrong stress put on the wrong words or the wrong emotion being conveyed at the wrong time. How can you not understand people wanting the original audio instead?

The entirety of the Trails series (Trails in the Sky and Crossbell arc) thrives on this. There's tons of shit you can very easily miss since NPCs and events change after basically every single story beat and sometimes not even between what you would consider a complete beat.

There's nothing wrong with the ports except maybe the lack of Moon.

I'm not that deep in the outlet-war, but I do think Steam have gotten a little too confident without much competition.

I just don't like the thought of one company being able to essentially do whatever they want because the competition is non-existent.

Sure this hasn't fucked us yet, but it may one day, and then we'll be sorry we didn't support GOG.

>>385797824

I'm going to get Cold Steel for the same reason I got TiTS.

The story isn't amazing, the soundtrack only has a few good songs, the characters aren't revolutionary and the battle system isn't GOAT.

What Legend of Heroes games tend to do right is that they're so fucking relaxing to play. There's something almost primal in the way these games ask you to kick back and take part in what feels like a very casual adventure.

That feeling on your PC at 1080p+ is more than reason enough to put some money into Cold Steel.
>>
>>385798607

I'm on half-a-year and it doesn't get the slightest bit better. Run while you can. Run while you have your youth ahead of you.
>>
>>385799129
I also was very slow to actually commit to SC but it was so fucking worth it. Ended up loving the fuck out of the story and characters and just everything. It gets intense.

Currently slow going through 3rd because I'm just kinda burned out. One thing Cold Steel definitely has over Trails in the Sky is having a more refined battle system.
>>
>>385798321
I don't give a fuck. I'm pirating it.

>>
>>385799508

TITS' battle system was all over the place, and I couldn't fucking stand it.

I wish they'd just settle on either going full SRPG, FFT-style, or sticking to a traditional 3-in-a-row-wack-each-other-turn-based-JRPG-style.

That weird basterdized hybrid did nothing but create an illusion of more depth than was actually there and it passively bothered me throughout.

>I wish they'd just settle on either going full SRPG, FFT-style, or sticking to a traditional 3-in-a-row-wack-each-other-turn-based-JRPG-style.

Yeah in a SRPG it fucking would be. There was very little you could even do in TITS to effect anything on the field.

There exist good JRPGs that do this MUCH better than TITS did it and it is by far the biggest let-down of the entire series.

I want to say since last year, but I'm not sure. Regardless, it's always the same shit.

Why do people compare the battle system in Kiseki to the battle systems in Disgaea and Tactics Ogre instead of Grandia, Neptunia and Valkyrie Profile 2?

Trails in the Sky as far as I know. Maybe someone deeper into the series than myself might end up recommending an even earlier title though.
>>
>>385800776

Now you're losing me. You want movement in a JRPG so I gave you a list of 10 JRPGs with movement, and then you want 10 traditional JRPGs so I gave you that and now you're arguing that they don't have movement? Jesus Christ stop posting any time.

>>385800815
Battle system in fucking Lunar is anything but good. You can like the game as a whole (like I do), but try to play this shit now.
>>
>>385800762
Falcom made this as a possible entry point. Otherwise you start with tits FC/SC and then do either this one or hope the patch for Zero/Ao is better (they take place roughly concurrently).
>>385800820
Earlier than Sky is not advised.
>>
>>385800861
You seem to be confused. We want JRPGs with movement, not JRPGs that are strictly SRPGs. Things like Grandia and Trails in the Sky are JRPGs which incorporate movement without being SRPGs. Name more of those. That's the demand.
>>
>>385800861
>I gave you a list of 10 JRPGs with movement

Nope.

I actually wouldn't mind more JRPGs where positioning is an important mechanic. As far as what I've played, Grandia II, The Legend of Heroes, and Eternal Sonata are all I've really played that have positioning as a somewhat important aspect of their combat systems.

I wish the characters in Cold Steel got more mandatory rather than optional focus and development and that they just would have made fucking Alisa THE romance option for Rean instead of giving players the option to get together with whoever when we know who the fuck the canon love interest is. Because that shit just kinda results in the rest of the female cast being hollow, one-dimensional whatevers for the player to self-insert themselves into a relationship with.

Seriously, as far as I'm concerned, that's all Cold Steel need to be fucking amazing. But it ends up being hollow because it flops on these points, especially compared to fucking Trails in the Sky which handles its characters AMAZINGLY. Please, Falcom. Please let the third CS game be good. No more wishy washy bullshit this time.

Skyfags are retarded. Nothing new really.
>>
>>385801539
That's what I WANT. If they just let her be his fucking romantic interest, the other girls can have room to fucking develop for themselves outside of Rean. Good god, please make it so, Falcom. I fucking hate Alisa, but I hate even more that they make it SO FUCKING OBVIOUS she's canon but STILL let you go for the other girls. I'm not here for this dating sim bull fucking horse shit in a series that's been handling its characters so well for so long.

>>385801497
They're masterpieces compared to CS's at least.

I enjoyed TiTS because it always went out of its way to not be cheap, sometimes to a ridiculous degree. It's a quality very few weeb media have, these are more prone to throw in something for the hell of it (that's not always a bad thing), and yet also prone to cheap moves that just leave bad taste in your mouth when overused. I respected the games for going out of their way to make you a fucking scrub at the beginning, making sure it always made sense why somebody treated you like that (whether well or badly), making even guys that hate you have their reasons for it (unless they were supposed to be irrational) and guys who were supposed to be redeemable actually likable, etc.
Well, that and the GOAT setting.
Does this game have this "dignity" to it too? Highschool setting is highly suspicious.

>>385808118

You don't have to play TiTS. It's in the same universe, and every now and then Cold Steel will tip it's fedora in that direction with a character or a name or something, but coming from someone who's never played TiTS but still played through CS on the Vita: you don't need to have played TiTS.
>>
>>385808118
Trails games are set up so that each subseries have their standalone stories so players won't be confused at all, but you have to play all the games to understand the bigger picture.

>>385808118
You can completely ignore Sky trilogy and still enjoy this. CS2 spoils stuff from Crossbell games.

Cold Steel 3 bringing in a bunch of Sky characters and Crossbell characters makes me wonder if Falcom's going to start converging the Trails games into one main story instead of a bunch of smaller stories.

I might hold off on CS3 because I want to play Crossbell first. I've already been spoiled on who the Anguis is and KeA's role.

A significant portion of Zero's plot directly deals with a major character from Trails in the Sky's past, and unlike in Cold Steel you have MANY of the Trails in the Sky cast interacting directly with the story, referencing previous events and having a direct influence on the plot.

Renne's past, which is alluded to in The 3rd with her Memory Door. You meet her parents, her younger brother, interact with her on MANY occassions, and she's the whole reason that your team doesn't die in the final dungeon. Zero no Kiseki is primarily the ending to her and Joshua/Estelle's character arc, whereas Cold Steel is more of a separate story.

Ao was honestly the best game in the series for me, and that's playing it with the spreadsheet and not being able to talk to random npcs, which I do 100% in all Trails games. I think everyone will love it once it gets properly translated.

Also reminder that Elie is the only proper choice for bond.

Now I'm not going to discount this as bait immediately, but I plot both games and he didn't hint at any complexity until like the last hour of CS2.
>>
>>385815374
Because he comes across as a donut coldsteal.
>>
>>385795819
Me anon, I choose him in both CS games. I like him, he's a good character
>>
>>385815374
He gets tons of development but never actually develops. Two games in and he still treats himself like shit and thinks he isn't worth anyone's time, constantly doubts himself. He pats everyone's head but he honestly needs headpats more.

Hopefully Sen III turns him from a depressed guy obsessed with school to Emperor Rean Osbourne Dreichels Schwarzer the First
>>
>>385815374

It's a mystery to me why I loved Lloyd so much, maybe the constant hammering of "get over the wall" and "never give up" got to me, as well as the detective part.

I'm Russian and the CS dub sounds passable for Gaius and Laura, decent for Machias and Fie, better than Japanese for Rean and Elliot, mediocre for Jusis, bad for Emma and is a literal crime against humanity for Alisa.
>>
Why are Crossbell girls so hot?
>>
>>385816592
For me it was that Rean, Gaius and Fie were as good as or better than the Japanese version, Sara, Crow, Machias and Jusis were okay, Laura and Alisa were patience testing and Emma along with Millium were terrible.

Something about Machias' english version really hits the "impulsive sperg" part of his personality.
But I haven't played the game with the dub yet, I'm merely judging based on the gameplay video from today, I played through the game undubbed off the bat.

XSEED never seems to have Steam pre-orders for some reason. They say they judge pre-release sales figures by wishlist and Interested count on Steam instead.

how grindy is this game? is battle system fun/challenging? is story interesting like persona games? tried playing trails1 but it was 2 slow paced 4 me. also playing ffxii right now for the 4th time, going for a perfect game but I might try this one out.

>>385819759

It's still a weird principle. The smart play is almost always to try to lock down customers as early as possible.

>is story interesting like persona games?
If you expecting story to be like persona game, you're in the wrong game buddy.
>>
>>385819983
No grinding at all. Battle system is pretty fun but it's very easy to break in the late game. Story is leagues better than in any Persona game.
>>
>>385819983

Not at all

I like how you can make team cake in CS2 with Sara, Sharon, and Claire

You don't have to but it's like MGS3 or Yakuza 0 where if you play the previous games you will recognize a bunch of characters and sometimes you'll be amused(like with Bleublanc)

So music is not done by Falcom? How did Kondo let this happen?
Evo music is garbage tier.
