games are still fun, and frankly that's all that matters. You can pissing contest which ones your favorites all day but pretty much nothing Falcom puts out is anything close to the hyperbolic terms like "shit" or "terrible" you guys seem to love to slap on game that isn't your favorite.

Ys is still fun

>>389241906
Ys is fine, better even if we're talking about gameplay, Legend of Heroes has always been animu trash since day one so you picked the wrong IP.
I am mad that they dropped a lot of other IPs like Brandish, Sorcerian or Vantage Master, or turned them into school animu shit like they did with Xanadu.
Then again, you gotta pay those taxes and make a living somehow, Falcom was on the verge of death quite a few times.

>>389241906
Yeah, 2010s anime artstyle sucks fucking ass.

>>389242481

They're largely still good. They really need to fire half the new music and writing team, I mean what the actual fuck was Tokyo Xanadu.

Stop being retarded. Muh high school LN insert isn't the only cliché in existence. TiTS always had stupid anime clichés. Just because it doesn't sit right with you in one series doesn't mean the clichés didn't exist in the previous games.

I don't watch much anime.

I see a list of the main characters on gamefaqs and I will list any shows I know them from:
Koki Uchiyama (Rean) - Gundam Unicorn (Banana) and Aquarion Evol (Kagura)
Yui Horie (Alisa) - Nepgear & Serena (Symhogear)
Saori Hayami (Emma) - Shana-Mia and Yon from Moon Dwellers

everyone else, I don't recognize

>>389249553
I remember she also did that fairy loli on Nanatsu no Taizai, but I don't know much about VAs.

>>389249553
Olivier is voiced by Dio from Jojo, McBurn by Archer from Fate

>>389249553
I didn't even watch her show but I heard of it. She's a very popular character.

Since many people make the case that Trails has always been "very anime"; Are there any old anime with a comfy atmosphere similiar to Trails in the Sky?

A JRPG is always going to be "anime", its just that I prefer the atmosphere of TitS to the one in CS.

Cold Steel is a bit of a quality drop in storytelling and characters but it's nowhere near shit, and the worldbuilding is as good if not better than ever. If you think Ys is shit because muh oath and muh solo adol then you're either shitposting or a nitpicky retard

The part where I have no fucking clue what a beach bod is. Welcome in Europe, not everyone has English as their main tongue.

>Kondom no Falcom

>>389252865
The Switch is a console for children as Kondo said, so there's no interest in it from their sides as they don't make games for children.

>>389253983
Beach bod isn't an American term.

>>389254756
Never fucking heard of it m8. XSEED needs to understand Europe fucking exists. It's one thing to refuse to translate in French, German, Spanish, but using bizarre terms is fucking scummish.

>>389254869
This is just straight up petty. You're angry over the dumbest shit. Why shouldn't an English script use English slang just to appease the feelings of autistic ESLs like you? Everyone else who didn't know what it meant probably looked it up, said "oh, okay", and moved on with the game instead of throwing a whiny bitchfit.

Gee, I wonder what's the plot for Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana be like

>Adol on a boat AGAIN
>Adol gets thrown overboard AGAIN
>Adol gets wash ashore on a new place AGAIN
>Adol meets a new girl in trouble AGAIN
>Adol helps new girl
>Adol makes said girl's pussy wet AS USUAL
>A NEW EVIL HAS AWOKEN IN THIS NEW PLACE
>Optional reunites with Dogi
>Dogi x Wall OTP AS ALWAYS
>Adol beats said evil
>Adol leaves island for a new adventure AGAIN
>Girl tells Adol to come back and visit someday so she can fuck Adol
>Adol never came back

In fact this will be the exact same plot as Ys 9, 10, 11 etc

This is why XSEED got cucked by NISA. NISA cares about Europe, XSEED doesn't. A lot of EU people hate XSEED for that reason.

The games are still good. I do wish they'd make another solo Ys game, though.

>>389255628
>NISA cares about Europe
Yeah, just check the prices of the NISA european store. They totally care.

I had to import the special edition of Coldsteel because it was cheaper than just the game in the NISA european store.

>>389255628
If by "NISA cares about Europe" you mean they half-ass a translation to the point that it's noticeably drier and blander than the source script by all accounts, then sure. I guess "crevice" was too American for Yuropoors, and they thought "big hole" was the better choice.
NISA cucked Xseed with money and marketing, not "caring about Europe". You're acting like a self-centered child.

I still like A Tear of Vermillion. The other games, not so much, but I only played a significant portion of Prophecy of the Moonlight Witch outside of ToV.

>>389256586
It plays just like it if the demo is any indication.

>>389241906
Cold Steel is better than Sky, only deluded nostalgiafag hipsters believe otherwise

>>389256831
From what I've seen, it has some aerial combat, and the enemies are more varied and threatening. I still don't know if Flash Step and Guard have been modified at all. I should get around to playing that demo.

There's also some post-game dungeons that look interesting.

>>389256394
>>389256478
Falcom specifically stated NISA was chosen over XSHIT because they cared about Europe.

>>389257059

They haven't. Once you get an enemies timing down then you can spam that shit nonstop, making yourself invincible.

>Specifically for this title, NISA came to Falcom with a really enthusiastic proposal. Their enthusiasm showed greatly in that proposal and offered things that were new and special that I had never took into consideration before, in terms of how they wanted to publish the game. It was because of that enthusiasm, and my desire to try something new, that I decided to leave it to NISA.

I'd love to see your source, but NISA likely got it because they offered a day one PC port.

>>389257653

Yo- question for whoever played VIII.

I don't have too much problem with flash guarding - but, do you still have to bash the guard button after managing a good guard, in order to get more EX meter points? That shit is ruining my finger..

>>389255628
Also willing to pay for the japanese voices unlike xshit. The day NISA or Aksys announce CSIII localization will be a shitstorm to look forward to.

>>389257653
Well NISA already always handled the Europe publishing for their game anyway.
In business standpoint, NISA is better because they have ability & resource to reach more audience.

>>389259586
Xseed has been bs lately with their no Jap voices decisions.

>>389242481

After playing Dark Revenant when it got localized I want more Brandish remakes. That shit was sublime.

True, if you look at their past releases the only games with Jap audios are the super weeb-tier games. Otherwise it's dub only.

>I thought they never use original JP voice audio?

They do in some games, mostly the marvelous made games.

>>389261182
I forgot that they owned by MMV.
Every single game i played that published by them don't have JP voice, even that PSP Brave Story.
