>>183680000
For a straight answer.

Jusis and Millium. That one has actually been getting a lot of focus.
Gaius and Laura. Not really a romantic pair, but both will probably represent the past as the right and left handman of Rean.

And the other four probably won't get paired.

No matter what the canon choice is the other girls will stay reserved for Rean until maybe the final Kiseki game, kinda like how Noel/Rixia/Tio are reserved for Lloyd.

What if he IS a vampire and Juna kills him with her rancid garlic breath?

>>183681282
This could explain why Tokyo Xanadu and Ys VIII are both coming to Steam.

I still can't get over how much hype is condensed into that short 15-second teaser.

>>183681212
Machias x Fie has more basis.

>>183681236
I think Millium is a toss up. She tends to get paired with Jusis within the game as much she does with Rean. Feels like she has the same amount of affection for him too.

>>183682310
Must suck to be a pc falcomfag in Japan.

>>183683106
I don't see what's stopping them from pirating the games.
>no jap text
Can just mod it back in if there's some falcom community like here. Most games are on PSP, Vita, PS3 which are all hacked and you can just extract the text/voices.

>>183682429
Full trailer better be at least as hype as Ao's.

>>183682501
>Fie, a bracer
>Machias, the son of Govenor Regnitz who is an acquaintance of the Itron-Blooded Chancellor Osborune who went and shut down much of the Bracer guild within Erebonia.

Also, Machias probably has a onee-san fetish.

>>183683825
So Machias and Emma?

>>183676053
That's Randy's stash though. But yes, she would burn it, and force him to fap only to her.

>>183677292
He goes out into the sun though.

>>183682310
Also suggests that we might get the CrossBell games on steam eventually if they want ALL their games on it at some point.

>>183683106
Ys 8 and tokyo xanadu are confirmed dual text though. Japs are actually starting to hate on xseed as a result.

>>183684004
Machias has that childhood friend.

As for Emma, what the fuck is the hexen clan?
She'll probably get killed off.

I honestly can't even say someone's new design disappoints me, apart from the fact Laura barely changed and I liked Jusis' old jacket colour better.

If bonding events will be coming back in the way Kondom implied last Famitsu then that will be the death knell, the last hope for party side pairings is Kurt x Juna.

So Randy's Rifle is called "Berserker" right? I usually saw people write it as "Berserga" but i assume that's just moon pronunciation.

Everyone constantly argues about battle themes, but what about low HP battle themes?
Even if Driven to the Wall > Feeling Danger Nearby > Stand Up Battle Formation Again > Pinch! > Close to the Brink > Impatient (haven't played Ao yet)

>>183686224
ベルゼルガ is read as Berserga, anon.
Berserker is バーサーカー. Because カ after ベルゼル sounds uncool in chuunispeak.

>>183686604
Wouldn't it be Berzerga?

>>183685546

>>183685938
Nah, in Tokyo Xanadu all the bond events ended platonically and every male had a pairing. Bond events had nothing to do with Falcom not wanting to pair the characters.

Why do they not just use emo Rean?

>>183686224
Actually, no. "Berserker" is ベルセルカー or バーサーカー while Randy's weapon is called ベルゼルガー.

>>183686721
I dunno. For me, that's because there's a robot called Berserga in Votoms and they wrote it like that.

>>183686774
This is gay. Forced pairings are lame.

Honestly, if Machias and Patiry somehow become a real pairing, it'd allow to fill in so many blank spots in his potential as a character. CS2 hints that he has a degree of street smarts, having grown up in the Ost district and all, but it doesn't really go anywhere with it.

The weapon seems to be named after his ancestor. I think they just didn't want to use berserker so they tweaked it a little but the meaning is still the same.

>>183687849
There's some dude who was bitching about it on twitter the other day.

>>183687558
No, fuck you, they provide more character development and chemistry than having an entire cast of girls reserved as fuck toys for self-insert protagonist man.

Laura & Laura IMO

I wish Sky had let you choose the couple. My Joshua would have never touched that retarded ugly bimbo, he would have married the cutest princess in the entire world and shitstelle would have committed suicide. Canon pairings truly are the fucking worst.

>>183692260
Calm the fuck down, we know Rean won't choose anyone because unlike Trails in The Sky or Tokyo Xanadu, MC's relationship with the main girl isn't relevant to the story.

Forcing you to suffer through a "canon" romance in a long ass game is a mistake. If you want to make me emotionally invested then let me pick the character that I personally care about, not some mentally challenged bimbo with personality issues. Seeing poor Klaudia suffer sucked, it's like the writers enjoyed torturing her (and Josette as well). Fuck Sky, it truly is the worst in the series.

Thats not how it works and a small market they never sold to not liking that they're not sold to isn't going to 'fuck' them when they're doing fine selling to the far larger western markets where people are smart enough to learn the global lingua franca instead of masturbating about their dying country.

This will benefit them since there's no Japanese PC version of the game to compete with, and Falcom's happy about it too since they don't have to worry about their JP digital downloads getting ignored (DLSite and shit).

>>183699115
NISA. They've confirmed they've approached Falcom many times to localize their games before.

>>183699183
Or Falcom sold the license for overseas distribution while preventing Japanese sales so they're not creating competition for themselves.

Both will be localized by NISA.

>>183699565
It could be another reason for not releasing the scripts until the game releases in Japan, by the time it's localized most Japs would've played it.

>>183699707

They've been on the ball with their script quality the last 5 years so you can stop anytime.

>>183699329
>it probably won't be that hard to include the original text in it right?
From my experience in software development even text substitution in languages that use the same character set is expensive in dev/qa time, theres all sorts of strange things that can break in UI's.

>>183699565
Dual Audio only means they're including dual audio, it doesn't mean they're going to sell it in Japan.

>>183699658
Hell yeah now we're talking! Can't wait to learn more about the pantomime idol isekai plot.

>>183699730
More likely reason is that they make lots of script changes during late development which would be a hassle to relay to the localizer before the game goes gold.

>>183699658
I expect we'll be able to watch a silent film at a Calvard movie-house, and there will be a benshi narrator.

>>183699884
We're getting dual-text in CS PC probably because Durante knew it was something Falcom wanted and had allowed XSEED to implement, so he got that ready early on (or the port team before him did).

>>183699523
Kondo exposed XSeed as being poor fags who can't afford the license over not being able to get them.

>>183699995
>We're getting dual-text in CS PC probably because Durante knew it was something Falcom wanted and had allowed XSEED to implement, so he got that ready early on (or the port team before him did).
Which is part of my point, if you don't have a business reason to do it, you don't do it, its not as simple as having an intern create a text file. Now they have a business reason to do it, they do it.

Sara herself said that getting JP text into the Sky releases already on Steam/GOG/Humble would be a hassle because of how much would break. And she's busy fixing up Zwei II, doing QA for the ports, and hopefully getting those recent crash problems with older Ys games on PC fixed.

>>183700110
The E3 build wasn't representative of final quality, not that I'll defend the "fixed" inaccurate translation for that mini-boss either. Definitely need to wait and see. It could be worse or better than Aksys with Tokyo Xanadu.

Expect a more barebones Ys VIII PC port than Cold Steel though.

>>183700224
We could also get a somewhat inaccurate translation/edit that's also dry and riddled with mistakes, plus a joke or two which XSEED wouldn't touch. NISA's better these days, so I think there's a lot more suspense these coming weeks. Dual-audio can't make up for everything, like a disappointing script.

They added a Zero Craft AT bonus, meaning you can fire off crafts, which includes S-Crafts, at will during that turn. If you get three Zero Crafts in a row, that means that the same character can fire off four subsequent S-Crafts in a row. Yes, this happened multiple times to me.

But the worst offender is what Chara-ani calls "new balancing". In an attempt to (probably) compensate for Zero Craft, they amplified the HP of bosses with 2,5 or even more. The result is that every boss fight becomes a drag just because it takes so long to get that HP bar empty. By the time I was fighting the final boss in the 3rd Evo, I considered just giving up because the fight dragged on and on. It's not even exciting or strategic anymore; just a race of stamina.

I think they may have actually made it too easy. A bunch of accessories which had negative stats and shit like that, now are pure positive stuff, and some crafts get more stuff added into it, like Julia's Orders having AT advance in it.

Not sure about Zero and Ao though, i think those might have stayed the same.

As do I. They can definitely be good if they try.
I get the feeling some stuff went through multiple teams too, judging from my example. For the most part they followed the script faithfully. A few jokes and such got changed around and it's obvious in a few places where the Japanese dialogue deviates a bit, but I don't think it goes too far.

A few things got overlooked that can lead to confusion or getting answers wrong if you're not careful.

Then there's the part that actually bothered me because it kinda fucks with the plot of the final case. It makes the the actions of some characters seem kinda stupid because it revealed too much too early when it was meant to be more vague until the reveal, most likely.

I know I'm going off on a tangent slightly, but Nisa is handling an entry in a series I like and I have to say my take away from them from another series they've done.

Just getting my frustration of some of their mistakes off my chest, that's all.

In order to do that, we had to follow the rule of making sure that the new features were somehow related to the story itself – that is, not just having features in the game for the sake of having features, but rather that each feature make sense in the world. So, following this rule as you begin to add new features, it is necessary to add more story elements as well.

The revelation about the Hayworth family's true circumstances legitimately destroyed everything about the theory I've personally built up and my tear glands in the process.

>>183705524
I thought that was pretty obvious once you met the couple.

>>183705718
I successfully convinced myself they sold Renne off and tried going on with their lives leisurely but still got pangs of guilt every now and then. I'm very good at deluding myself into things.

>>183705890
It was pretty obvious with how they framed the dialogue in the star door even before that.

>>183706145
Not really no, the idea it gives in the 3rd is that they most likely sold Renne due to not being able to hold themselves in a good position money wise, and after she got sold off, they went and lead a happy life with the money they made off her.

I dunno, guys, I think Erebonia is pretty fucked

But that's what everyone, including their own employees, has been saying for years.

>>183706338
This anon is right, that situation is extremely concerning.
How the fuck are they going to be able to deal with this, short of awakening a few more like the one in Nord? Have Courageous, Arseille and the Merkabas wail at it from the skies?
I just realised CS3 can have a confrontation between the Glorious, Pantagruel and Courageous. Hype.

>>183706285
It was done in that ambiguously worded part of a small snippet of conversation style that all "person listens in on conversation and gets completely wrong idea" use. Even then it could easily apply to them thinking she died or any other unfortunate circumstance happened. Renne presumes she was abandoned or sold because she's a young girl with serious mental trauma.

I just realised: will Cold Steel 3 be the game where everyone's friend Lechter Arundel finally shows his true colours? No holding back, his real power.

>>183707238
I'm not saying Campanella is Cassius, but when have you ever seen the two together? Checkmate, Atheists.

>>183707376
Fuck, it just makes too much sense.

Ys Seven's a contender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8ROE7LzlE8

How hype would you be if during a critical moment for Olivier Kloe's voice resounded from the Arseille and Schera burst out of it as it landed?
How hype would you be if during a critical moment for Ouroboros Enforcer No. XX stepped down from his G-Apache, his blue hair flowing graciously in the wind, with his trusty machinegun and explosives at ready?

Does anyone know if there are playthroughs of Evo 3rd recorded anywhere? I want to see some doors voiced, but I really don't want to have to replay the whole thing for that.

>taking Crossbell games as hostage with CS sales as ransom

they can't be serious, right? I mean, there's a fan translation for Zero already out there and the Ao patch is just a matter of time as well.

>>183707782
I think that aside from Zero/Ao, Sky stuff is deleted from youtube due to Chara ani.

>>183707431
Good post. Such a beautiful track, felt really fitting after what happened at the end too.

>>183707968
Also a real standout for Momiyama, definitely her best track in Seven.

>>183707790
They haven't licensed either Zero or Ao yet, so there's no hostage situation. All they've done is reserve some URL domains.

>>183707929
Oh for the love of god.
I don't assume anyone here has a save with all doors unlocked they'd be willing to rip with a save editor.

>XSEED get btfo in yet another interview

The skipped question from the TechRaptor Kondo interview.

"accident" you ain't fooling anyone nisa.

I usually come to these threads much later in the day. I forgot how boring and repetitive the autist is.

>>183708774
>accidentally
At least they know not to bite the hand that feeds.

>>183709093
>>183709164
Actually, the guy who asked the questions is on Discord, he seems to have really forgotten to ask that one.

>>183709324
No the NISA guy accidentally skipped over it.

>>183709324
Wait, my mistake, apparently he just knows the person, he apparently does agree that it feels a little convenient of a skip, but he doesn't really have a way to know if he did it on purpose.

>>183709475
We all know it was on purpose. Way too convenient of a question to skip. This question would make XSeed look better than nisa and aksys on that regard which is a nono considering nisa flew Kondo in.

What probably really happened is Kondo answered the question and said there was no reason they couldn't. Once concluded a nisa rep told the author to leave the question out.

What are the new gameplay mechanics from SC to sky third? or it's just the same but with more arts?
