Trails of Cold Steel

I wonder how people are even able to discussion CS2 pc port here when CS3 gets released before it anyway. I'll just avoid these threads then because spoilers.

I can't handle this shit
>Talk to everyone in town
>Play for 20 minutes
>Event happens and I need to talk to everyone again
>Rinse and repeat

>>386431639
At least we got turbo mode now, so moving around is faster. But yeah, people often get new dialogue after events. Usually when it gets evening. Don't really want to miss those hidden quests.

I haven't found any hidden quest yet. I talk with characters when i find myself next to them but i am not going to run around and talk to everyone without events. I know myself good enough to know that i will only burn myself out and not complete the game. Jrpgs are usually long enough in themselves.

Any characters i should try to talk to to unlock any extra good hidden quest?

>>386430131
Can't wait until I have enough money to buy all of TiTS and CS on PC and just play them and nothing else for a few weeks.

What if Nisa steals CS3 from Xseed?

Is there any way to increase the bonding points you get during free days? Having to choose just two is bothering the hell out of me.

>>386430131
Why is every villain in this game holding back? I feel like I've accomplished nothing.

>>386434767
No. You can choose max bond points in NG+ though. Get clear game save from someone and take just max bond points, if you want to have fresh start with just being able to talk with everyone.

>>386431639
You can follow a walkthrough to see who to talk to, but the main appeal of the game is the NPCs and the world changing around you.

>>386432876
>Cat and NepNep beat Elise and Vita

Holy shit.

Whats the appeal of Fie? She is boring as hell.

Also several game breaking bugs and a translation that takes so many liberties the A in NISA becomes redundant

>>386434236
I'd be totally ok with it. Both of them do meme translations at this point so at least having the goddamn jap voices will assure a buy from me.

NISA getting YS8 was a good move.

>several game breaking bugs
Have any of their recent ports been like that?

>>386434236
>actually getting game near japanese release

Yes please. I dont want to wait for years to get Xseed translation. Not to mention being europoor, I'd have to wait for months for eurorelease after americans already have it unless I import it.

>>386436605
pretty sure disgaea was really bad, i don't remember what else they've ported recently

>>386436407
XSEED doing meme translations is a meme and you fucks would know this if you actually played the games you do nothing but shitpost about

>>386437009
People are too retarded to use undub I guess. Well, less sales for these and CS3 going to Nisa is even more sure, so I'm fine with it.

>>386436407
I'm also glad NISA got Ys VIII so we don't have to deal with a dub only release. Though really it wouldn't make any senses for anyone but XSEED to get CS3.

>>386437079

Haha, it's an integral part of Falcom games, fufufu.

Don't know about Ao no Kiseki, but now after finishing Zero with fanpatch, I don't see why people think Lloyd is any better than Rean.

If there was extra stuff, why would you NOT want to acess it on your first run? It just makes having to play again a chore just to see something small. Also, there is one extra scene, take Emma to collect clothes from the concert, and when they leave the place, there'll be an extra scene.

Considering Nisa managed to grab jap audio for Ys VIII, there may be a chance that when CS III gets ported, they'll also have the audio. One of the issues could be that past games didn't extend their contracts globally, which is why it was supposedly not an option for past games to grab the original jap voices, but now that Falcom wants to extend their market outside of Japan, and they know it profits to an extent, they're going to increase the range on the voice contracts.
Of course that's just my speculation, it could be that Xseed just doesn't have the money for it, but considering how they port over other games with Jap voices too, i kinda doubt there's not something getting in the way too.

Guys I find myself at a strange conundrum. See, I've been on one fieldtrip to Cedric, but thanks to god-knows-what I didn't discover that they were able to upgrade my weapons.

I don't know why, but I just never clicked on the weapon-upgrade option in that city.

Now I'm off to the second fieldtrip in this noble-like city, and I decide to step into a orbal-shop to get my stuff up to date, only to realize that I now don't have the required items.

Is this game really so strict in it's linear weapon development process that if I miss one hub I'm essentially fucked?

>>386446028
It's trigger discipline.
You don't put your finger on the trigger itself until you're ready to destroy your target.
She's pointing at you in that image so consider yourself lucky you aren't on her shit list.

>>386431639

There's plenty of those through the series honestly. there was one like that in Zero too, you had to talk twice to Cecil in the hospital, during one of the chapters to start a quest to look for some items so Shizuku could make her father a present.

>>386447652
I was always a completionist before this series, it's just that collecting the stuff, and finding some of the quests actually adds to the lore, or have some interesting or funny situations to boot. Plus i enjoy taking my time and talking to all NPCs, so it's right up my alley.

>>386447812

I don't know, the game never mentioned a weapon SHOP, just that you could upgrade your weapons. And with the huge deal the game made about everyone's PERSONAL weapon and even some experimental tech for the casters, I was thoroughly invested in the idea that we were to UPGRADE weapons, not buy new ones.

Shows what I know.

>>386448173
NPCs add flavor, but they're not necessary. Get a guide and look for missables and that's it, not everyone enjoys talking to all of the NPCs at every story progression.

Falcom always like to make their NPCs have plenty of flavor, even YS 1 and 2 have NPCs changing dialogue after certain events, although not as often.

>>386448349
But that's what sets this JRPG apart from the rest. It has a decent story too but come on, it's the series' greatest strength.

If you're not talking to NPCs constantly you're not getting the most out of Trails imo

>>386447480
Seriously just don't do the quest if it bothers you.
It's optional content.

You're a really salty fuck you know that? I'm not that guy, but i also use guides so i can avoid missing anything, and even then i like to go around and talk to all NPCs, i even did it in Crossbell even though the city was fucking huge. You should probably stop trying to dictate how others should have fun on a freaking game.

Just a suggestion, he might enjoy the game more if he cheats if the only reason he does side quests is for the reward.

One question though: can I romance people in this game? Like, straight up holding hands and kisses. Can I romance Sara? Please say yes.

To a degree. 1st game is teasing. 2nd game has a small confession plus a full kiss if it's Alisa because Falcom wants you to go with Alisa.

Wait for 3rd game for romantic conclusions.

Alternatively instead of being a pleb you can take Jusis to the dance because Jusis is best girl.

Do you have autism? Usually I'd just conclude that you're trying to get the most bang for your buck but the base game's main story is like a 1000 hours.

You can add a 0 to that if you talk to every single individual between each event.

Honestly, I'm just playing the game normally, focusing on the main story and stopping to chat with people who look interesting or look like they're doing something fun or who I've gotten invested in.

It warms my black little heart when I see an NPC I talked to 3 chapters ago sitting with their family at a cafe.

That being said, I'm willing to miss content to not feel forced to do the rounds between every event. Fuck's sake the game's long enough as it is.

Both Joshua and Kevin have legit reasons for their angsting, what with death our entire village or being responsible for the death of a loved one. Rean somehow cries about his power that completely and perfectly saved the life of his sister despite her being so grateful she would suck his dick for the rest of their life, as well as his status as an adopted son ruining his dad's reputation despite him not caring and the entire village loving him.

Rean is half-assed as a protagonist.

>>386450457

>CS2 Steam release when?

I'm not going to lie to you guys. I don't think we'll be seeing CS2 on Steam.

I foresee some "unfortunate lack of resources" or some other corporate excuse.

The reality of the situation is that TITS1 sold almost 300k copies on Steam, and CS1 (a game that cost much more to port) is really struggling to reach 10k.

At the end of the day that's not good enough and I can kinda' see Falcom use this as a great reason to stop porting games to PC all together.

I mean fucking look at that peak. 9.7k. That's fucking abysmal.

>>386450892
Millium was 13 in CS1 so she's 15 now. Besides she's an artificial human

>>386451994
I think they're aiming for the long run. TiTS made roughly the same in the first few days.

>>386451976
Rean and Elise's relationship is hilariously stupid.

>>386452118
No, it didn't. I was in these similar threads. TITS hit 100k first week. We're beyond the first week now and CS is nowhere NEAR that. The long game's fine, but you won't be adding a 0 to that sales number with the long game.

>>386452145

Am I wrong? If so please tell me where.

>>386452190
That still doesn't excuse this week opening. Even if they sold tenfold they'd still not rival TITS opening week.

>>386452225
Calm your autism.

>>386452250
Again, where am I wrong? At the end of the day the numbers don't lie, and honestly, if I was an executive at Falcome I wouldn't keep porting shit either if this is the interest the market has in it.

It's less Lloyd himself, and more how Lloyd isn't as much of a black hole that sucks in all character dynamics into himself. Other characters still develop alongside other characters. But for Rean, it is always about their relationship with him. Both SSS and Class VII make the same friendship speeches, but it falls flat when half of Class VII barely interacts with the other half

In all seriousness, why the sales are so low? Neptunia and other moeblob bullshit makes retarded money in the West, yet no one buys the good stuff. If Ys VII will also flop, we're not seeing anuthing from Falcom on PC ever again.

>>386452659
>more and more are coming
Except they're not. The graph indicates that the numbers are wavering, people are getting refunds and buying, but there exists no reason for it to shoot through the heavens now.

>plus GOG numbers
This is just a guess, but based on how poorly this is selling on Steam (the MUCH bigger marketplace) I'm guessing that GOG can muster a thousand sales, maybe somewhere in that area.

>>386452794
I don't know, honestly. They're good games, but I think the lack of an undub put a lot of people off. Also I'm sure piracy stole a few thousand sales, but those people probably weren't going to buy anyway.

>>386452794
Because that's exactly how porting to Steam works.

>Playstation series come to Steam

It happened to Neptunia, Atelier, Tales of, etc. Why this one should be any different?

>>386452684
>Tokyo Xanadu
Why is it even called Xanadu? Are there any references to the previous gaems?

I doubt it cost a lot to port this. 10k doesn't sound too bad for a game that is niche and several years old. Falcom will be happy as long as it turns a profit.

I'm so fucking mad right now.

>>386452841
>Except they're not. The graph indicates that the numbers are wavering, people are getting refunds and buying, but there exists no reason for it to shoot through the heavens now.
I'm talking about game release, retard.

>>386453069
This is just lying to yourself and you know it. Firstly, Falcom ported TITS that sold 300000 units on Steam. And even then, 100000 sales for a fully 3D game like this is unjustifiable to investors or a corporate board. Even if it did tilt into the positive, it'll be by so little that it'll barely cover the work they DID have to put in.

For fuck sake, stop giving him (You)s.

You can be as mad as you want but if the game didn't sell well, it didn't sell well. And with it sinks the chance of future ports.

Nah they don't resist it, but even then you can only delay them so far back. There's a scaling cap on how far back you can push one enemy in one turn.

Like you can make an enemies turn come twice as slow, but at some point he's going to have to be allowed to do something. Like after a few hits the delay will do nothing until the enemy has gotten at least one turn in.

Bullshit, some bosses resist it but some can be delayed indefinitely.

Pretty sure that's wrong. I don't have any sources, but I've experimented quite a bit with it. Most bosses can be pushed back quite far with the right combination of delays but at some point someone is going to get to do SOMETHING and there's (as far as my little experiments have gone) nothing you can do about it.

But hey maybe I've just tested wrong or gotten unlucky.

Welp at least I didn't get spoiled from looking up stuff given how old this game is

It really is almost laughable how bad they are. I hadn't even heard of the game before release.

Use cheat engine for bond points, don't freeze them or edit them higher than the default.

She's not even playable so it's ok I guess, but she deserves better.

>>386455828
Not him, but cheat engine apparently fucks up game for some people. I've read some people not being able to open Old School House doors if cheat engine is in use.

It happened to me, but exatcly because I froze the value. What you need to do is give yourself back a point every time you use one.

When will TiTS FC go on sale with a good discount? Something is telling me that I should've bought that one first, finish the sequels THEN bough Cold Steel

>>386435123
>the main appeal of the game is the NPCs and the world changing around you

When will this meme end?

>>386456217
They are implementing a turbo key to TiTS, wait for it before playing.

Like many here have said, you can play first CS without playing previous games. You miss some references, but thats it. Nothing major. For CS2 though, there you got some major Ao/Zero spoilers.

This image is uncomfortably true.

I want to take this opportunity to thank PCbros for making Sara #1. Previously we Sarabros were outnumbered because the average consolefag and Vitafag have terrible taste.

If anyone is interested, there is a translated drama cd story in official CS2 page about Class VII visiting Ymir during the events of CS1. Should be only read after reaching that point in story though.

where did she usually rank before?

>>386456710
"Bad/lazy teacher" is one of the worst cliches. You have no room to speak on taste.

>>386456803
Right behind Fie and Laura. Actually Laura used to be first, I blame /m/ because she's a budget Mitsurugi Meiya and they vote for her.

>>386457048
>she's a budget Mitsurugi Meiya

Do you retards actually think before spewing this stupid shit? They're nothing alike. No idea how this dumb comparison even started.

There's probably only 2 members of the faculty that do more work. One of them is in the military and the other is a CS2 spoiler.

>>386432876
Well... a source would be nice, don't you think?

>NPCs have new dialog after dungeon/events
Persona 1 and 2 had this, mainly 2, so I think I'll enjoy this series.

>>386457253
>theyre nothing alike

It seems you are stupid as fuck. They have enough similar traits, not just hair, to be compared.

>>386456710
I see you're wholly determined to usurp Fiefags as being the most obnoxious fanbase.

>>386457578
Their hair isn't even the same shade.

>they're nothing alike

What? I'm sure that even most retarded person agrees that Laura has very little personality or character development compared to Meiya, but still. CS has other dumb similarities with ML too, but lot of them can be explained with just cliched archetypes we see in every anime or jrpg.

>>386457493
NPCs have little story arcs if you bother to check on them. Some are really fun too.

>>386458426
No they aren't.

I wonder how much the people who voted in that poll have played of the game. I have just met brother suave and so far i have gotten like one bonding event max with each character. No idea which characters i will end up liking the most yet.

>>386458802
I already decided I want to ride a horse with Jusis

>>386457706
That's because Laura is a budget Meiya. She doesn't even have a mech (yet).
