>>388410235
>>388410243
Yeah, I remember the Salt Pile stuff from Sky 3rd causing the North Ambria disaster, but I thought Jurai's economy was in ruins because of it, I need to play CS II again.

>>388410180
you dont need to check up on that since
the game constantly portraits Osbourne as an evil dictator no matter its really good for the country or not anyway

Crow's just pissed that Osbourne played around with Jurai's economy like a toy and the resulting erasure of Jurai's local culture and traditions after annexation brought in Erebonian influence desu

Falcombros i have some questions.
Just played through SC, had a blast, but that is beside the point, i have some serious Falcom itch now.
Obvious choice should be to go for 3rd chapter, but i heard it is a spin off, though it delves into pretty important stuff from the series. Given it was also released to the vita, are there any mods on PC, like jap voices or EVO artwork? And how is Sen no Kiseki? Given crossbell arc is coming never ever, and from first glance Sen looks more anime like, i gather the game is still worth it?
Also Ys 7 is coming in three days, and lacrymosa of dana in two weeks.
How are those games? Considering i loved Celcetta/Origins gameplay.

>>388421869

Amazing greentext there Anon. Really showed me that at least you're not a newfag.

>>388422264
I liked 3rd far more than FC and SC. If you like the lore and world building of Trails, its absolute treat to play.

>>388421869
Notice how there is practically no consolewar shit ITT despite PC getting the obviously superior version? Funny that.

>>388422208

They have great stories but are extremely slow paced. They spend majority of the first game introducing new places/characters at you and then you'll keep coming back to those places later in the game and the sequels. You get to meet all those people again and see what has changed in their lives since you last met.

It's slow to get going but it makes the world feel very different to the average JRPG where you visit most places once.

>>388422264
Stop listening to people who call Sen 'anime shit' literally every falcom game has been 'anime shit'. The only difference is that they used the tropes of the era the game came in. If you liked FC and SC and aren't a retard, you will like the Sen games as well.

Tho, seriously, just play 3rd first. It's important to the main overarching plot of the series.

>>388401987
>COLD STEEL

nothin personel, kid...

>>388422264
Sky the 3rd isn't a spin-off, it's just that unlike FC and SC, the 3rd is it's own story just using the same characters after a few months went by. It wraps up character arcs while setting up the world-building for Crossbell and Cold Steel

>how is Sen no Kiseki
Characters are hit and miss, some are top-tier, and some of them are the worst in the entire franchise.
The world-building is the best in the entire franchise.
It's the easiest in the franchise, but it's also the most fun. You have to play on Nightmare to feel challenged.

Sen is definitely much more modern anime than the previous games, but to be fair, Kiseki's always been extremely anime and Falcom's been anime as fuck for over a decade before Trails.

>>388423098
It's a good idea to play Trails of Berseria and Tales of the Azure before Cold Steel.

>>388423098
You can play them in mostly any order, just be aware that some of the later games spoil a few great moments in the older games

>>388423098
I'd start with Abyss or Symphonia before Zero or Ao.

>>388422379
If it has the same level of world building even though there are no town NPCs, i guess that is something.

The 3rd's a very different game from the rest of the Trails series, just be warned. You won't really be wandering to towns and talking to people or doing sidequests or anything like that.

I see, thanks, but when does it get interesting? If I only have to slog through a few chapters I might go on playing it.

Not exaggerating, but the plot literally only picks up at the last hour of the first game (100 hours), and ends on a cliffhanger.

If i wanted to start this series, which game do I start with? Aren't there like 6 games or something?

>>388401987
I could never decide between Alisa and Fie.

Both are top cute and good characters. It's funny because I started off not liking either one early in CS1, Alisa's generic tsundere shit at the start made me think she was going to be one dimensional and Fie always fucked off and seemed like a kuudere. But both developed into fun and dynamic characters.

>>388432579

Or if you can't stand the ancient graphics of Trails in the sky you can start at Cold Steel.

BotW for me but it's a close second, would've definitely been Goty of 2013 if we got it on PC then.

Legram was my favorite for comfy but ruined by Laura's shitty fanclub
Barehard tied for second with Heimdalr, which only lost due to no dance with Alfin, and how everyone seemingly forgot about the catacombs during the festival.
Nord third because of how big and tedious it was despite being max comfy. Yumir would've won though if we got it.
Tristam and Roer with meh, Roer slightly ahead due to the midnight outing with Icy Maiden at the bar.

Domination or whichever won had double damage on first turn, was so good for random encounters. Wrath was also GOAT on 100% evasion build.
All the ones with cool names and afflictions like Suzaku were cool but I never noticed them proc.

Towa (best waifu) = Fie (daughteru) = Jusis (best bro and husbando) > Icy Maiden = Misty = Sharon > Laura > Rosine > Elliot's Oneesan = Alfin (cuckquean) > Sensei > Imouto > Emma (why didn't you ever listen to the fucking radio, oh right too busy talking to cats) > Alisa = Ferris = twins who trade places > Millium >>>>>>>>>>>>> Angelica = Margarita > Dorothee

Right behind Fie even though she was forced to hell and back. There aren't even mandatory romance scenes with Fie unless you choose her bonding events.

I'm at chapter 6 of CS and while it's not as bad as the Falcom general on /vg/ would have me believe, 3rd is 10x the game it is. The only video game I've ever cried over. Kevin is easily my favorite character in the series.

That said, at the risk of triggering everyone, Breath of the Wild is still my goty.

The translation for Zero is a bit rough at times. I'd wait until the new one is released if I had just started playing these games. It's at 30% now and by the time he finishes Sky and Cold Steel both Zero and Ao should be complete.

>>388434609
He will never get that far. Based Rean gets romantic bond events with Tita in CS3 and thats the end of that childish crush Tita had on Agate.

>>388434190
Fie is popular because of her body type more than anything, though. Milium came too late in CS1 so Fie got all the lolicons and flat/petite lovers attached to her, even though she's less of a loli.

>>388434609
Agate is too beta to do it. Rean is going to steal her away and fuck her in front of Agate, and Agate will cry tears of happiness while it happens since he knows he will never be as strong as Rean.

This holy shit. It was my favorite too but god damn Falcom you've used the "Strong female character has insane female fanbase" over and over. There's not even one but TWO in CS with Laura and Angelica (hell even 3 if you count you-know-who who appears at the castle briefly). It was funny with Julia back in 3rd but damn does it get tiring.

Every relevant female that has appeared in previous Trails games will appear in CS3, and Rean will have bonding events with all of them. At the end of the game, all the ones with maxed out bonds will form Rean's harem to service him and stay with him instead of returning to wherever they're supposed to be.

>>388435452

She brought it up herself in 3rd that love might die out eventually.

>but Crow still says Jurai still had enough resources and trade routes with other people to prosper.

Because children are so well known for their ability to evaluate economies

She was popular in CS1 because most Falcom fans are lolicons and she was the closest thing to loli that was in the party for more than one chapter. She still didn't approach Tio in popularity, who is the same archetype with actual characterization and development.

>>388438572
I think that's his point, faggot. You can cherry pick anything to make it look bad. JRPGs haven't *gone* to shit because there always has been and always will be shit.

>>388438541
He's probably a Gralsritter. The actual foreshadowing for this was probably cut from CS1 and 2 when the games were butchered in development.

>>388438693
Tio should have been a tsundere. In fact why are there no tsundere lolis in falcom games.

>>388438087
He's not used to girls hitting on him this damn hard. Pretty spooky

>>388438881
Tio being a tsundere would make no sense with her backstory. The previous games, unlike CS, had personalities that matched the character rather than just slapping on whatever was most appealing.

>>388438853
He's a Gralsritter now after the year and a half gap where he was the toughest to keep in contact with. His piety was mostly conveyed through how many times you see him in the churches though. Hell, you can meet him in the Trista chapel in CS1 before the entrance ceremony

>>388438541
He comes from a well-adjusted family so he has no dark, tragic backstory. He is the tall, handsome foreigner that should be the chick magnet, but because that would overshadow Rean, he has to have a boring as fuck personality where he talks about nothing except the wind.

>>388438980
Yeah I know but the churches thing and Nosferatu are the only bits of foreshadowing for his possible stigma. There likely was supposed to be more involvement with Barkhorn than just one sidequest but it likely was cut.

>>388401987
So is this game completely linear or does it have dating sim aspects like Persona? What makes it so good?

>>388439075
I'm not sure about how many things were cut in CS1 but shit like the Hyarms family in CS2 were cut out.

>>388439104
If you're considering Persona as "non linear" then this game is like that.

>>388439018
That's pretty much all of CS for you. Falcom just played it safe with every character to try and craft the "perfect" harem game, but it kinda backfired since nobody really liked any of the characters that much besides for their body in the end.

How can you have a 100 hour game and still cut things out?

Reminder not to believe the CS is bad meme that certain people on /v/ like to spout. It's the most anticipated JRPG.

>>388439224
Padding the games' length to make them feel longer. The games were cut because of budget and hardware constraints, not time.
Most of CS2 is filler and good chunks of CS1 are filler.

>>388439224
Vita limitations.

They cut out a whole section from the Roer field study in CS1 where they visited.... fuck what was the name of the town where Rean's dad is baron?

Ran into Baron Blueblanc and had a cliche hot springs scene where Rean runs in like a moron to where the women bathe and Laura threatened to strike him down

>>388438541
You just don't trust him because he comes from a different culture.

>>388439304
Reminder that CS is the only game in the series to receive a mixed reception amongst hardcore established fans of the series unlike every other game and that most of the people who love it openly admit to either skipping the previous games entirely or playing them after CS.

>It took me 80 hours and I held that button all the time.

If it's 80 ingame hours (time reported in the pause menu), that time is accelerated too when you press the turbo button. That's why I'm at 92 hours in the free day of chapter 6.

>>388439139
I mean, is it more like the Trails in the Sky series or do you have some choices to make like in persona?

Smelly dumb Nord scum.

Anyone have a link to those really in-depth guides that got posted for CS1 and 2? Can't remember who hosted them but they had all the maps and everything else labeled real nice and neat.

>>388401987
Why did I think this game would be better on PC

>>388439421
>implying most people aren't just mad about the dating sim aspects

>>388438738
Yeah, but there were still way more good ones back then than there are now.

And yet people praise garbage like this game as if it's gonna save the genre or some shit. What a bunch of morons.

Not really. For every good 90s JRPG there were five waifu-pandering shovelware that would be forgotten in 5 years.

>dropped zero at chapter 2
Trails game has never managed to bore me this much. Shitty "translation" isnt really helping either, but it really is some feat to make the beginning of some game even more borefest than FC was. Will try to continue Zero later at least, but I need a break.

>>388439813
They're mad about the removal of sepith count, they're mad about the games being rushed, cut in half, and then stuffed full of pointless filler, they're mad about Class VII being a bunch of safe, boring, soulless characters outside of Jusis, they're mad about the first two games of the arc taking 160 hours to cover the same ground FC and Zero covered in 40, etc., dating sim shit ranks really low on that list and the only problem with it is that it requires multiple playthroughs.
>>388439936
>people are excited for the game that looks as though it won't be rushed and butchered on release and a return to form in spite of keeping poor changes like materia

I think that the game would benefit from reducing the waifuing to just a couple of characters so that the rest of them could have love interests themselves. I like romance in my slice of life shows and this game is lacking in that regard.

Does this game have a good soundtrack?

Convince me to buy it by posting your favorite track.

Even the worst trails ost is great. That's probably the only thing everyone can agree on.
