Can I get red pill on this series?

They're good if you enjoy moderately-paced Grandia-esque gameplay and RPG scenarios focused on NPC interactions and doing chores around town for the sake of story and character development.

Came here to post something similar. Good job, user.

Here's your redpill:
The Trails series is nothing but cash grab after cash grab of generic shounen games that seem original because by the time anyone cared to localize them the tropes that permeate them will belong to the last decade.
Filled with padding, each single story has to be split in multiple entries because whoever who's in charge of adapting shounen jump latest hot take into a mediocre rpg with mechanics stolen straight out of Persona and Fire Emblem believes that you can't do a good plot without having to traverse each modern fantasy town over and over again with a goody two shoes master of all trades protagonist, his harem of dumb bimbos who apport nothing and his background male companions.
A sad corpse of a series with even a more tragic fanbase, who cling to it either because they think niche is cool or because they spent years learning japanese just to play a literal fan fiction of a retard who played Suikoden and Xenogears and thought that a long lasting series in the same universe would be good, with political themes as understood by a 11 year old and mechas. Literally everything that Kekseki ever did has been done by literally any other jrpg series, but better and ten years before. It's no wonder why this shitshow ranks lower than the most cancerous weeb games in japan, the series has become a shittier parody of itself.

Not really though.

Ys is all you ever need.

gee whiz that don't sound obscure at all.

It's true my man, look it up

It's a good series with slightly dated combat system until CS. Most importantly go and make your own opinion. FC is a zoomerfilter.

Shitty writing that gets praised by weebs who have literally never read a book in their lives.
The games are still pretty good, though.

Reminder to patch the games with the Jap voices which can be found in the OP of the /fg/ thread on /vg/

I just blasted through Zero thanks to some user that linked me the mega, was a fun experience and may have revitalized my love for games

a boring jRPG series with a lot of wasted potential and has one of the worst fanbase in gaming, the entire series is pure anime but latest ones took "generic shonen anime" to new highs mixing just about every cliche possible while throwing the few good things in the series out the window for good. Expect more and more threads about the series as NISA ramp-up their shilling campaign since they got the right for CS3.

reminder that the OP pastebin is outdated and does not accommodate for the latest version of the games that inexplicably broke jap voices and now requires updated .dll to work
github.com/ZhenjianYang/SoraVoice/releases/tag/20190329

Good, now go play Ao.

Trails is a beloved JRPG series starring Rean Schwarzer. There's some older games before Rean's but they suck and don't really matter.

I wish they'd just make it an LN instead haha

Haha, that's our Rean...

The battles are boring and there's too many words. It's a 6/10 at best.

mediocre JRPG that gets worse with every game that Yea Forums worships because they are obsessed with tomboys

Damn, and here I was thinking I was going to waifu Tio

But if you don't read the words you miss out of crucial details like

>I was holding back this entire time
>Actually I was holding back too
>Your holding back was part of my plan all along

I want to eat those cucumbers haha... do you think she uses pickles too?

LN-tier plot with some elements from Kenshin.

Still playing Zero trying to do all the missions and recipe/fishing stuff but just downloaded Ao

It's really slow

Haha...

Cold Steel is cooler and has faster battles compared to previous Trails games, if that's so much of an issue

You know I'm fucking right

I want to steal her food from her mouth using my dick of course haha...

How is TitS The 3rd?

Attached: 1499724707427.gif (200x200, 948K)

It's got one of the best JRPG protagonists in it

But Rean isn't in 3rd

Is he better in combat than in SC? Aside from his broken S Craft I remember him having really underwhelming stats and crafts

Not really but you get some better fighters to pick from

Calvard when?

I love Sara

Me too, I love me a good drunk ara-ara

Lots of talking, very little gameplay

>that user is age 32 now
Haha...

What's the difference between difficulties? Should I do normal difficulty or is that really just easy mode? Usually, Normal is the second options, but it goes from Normal to Hard to Nightmare.

Normal: Super easy
Hard: more hp but still easy
Nightmare: so much hp it becomes tedious

Normal is best

Go for Normal on SC, the bosses are super fucking unfun on higher difficulties

I bet he killed himself when he heard that we're getting Cold Steel 4 DLC and Cold Steel the 5th instead of finally moving on to Calvard.

The problem is that FC and SC suffer from the
>Normal is ridiculously easy
>Hard is ridiculously hard
problem. Pick your poison.

There's very little point raising the difficulty in any game before CS1. It just makes fights drag on and straightjackets you with the few overpowered moves you have to use constantly.

Haha...

dont bother 100% it without a guide the books are fucking bullshit
