Not really. BUt since I already played the first two, i'll grab this when it's on sale. Also it better not be censored by onions ny.
mainly looking forward to the series ending so I can finally play through them all.
I’m getting my ass fucked on CS2 on normal, what the fuck the highlands boss with altina was literally impossible
Who said these games were easy?
kek see you in 2030
>kek see you in 2030
I'm a patient person, as long as I don't die before then that's fine.
See this? Make her into a full evade slut. She'll carry you through most things with her dodges.
Really? I never game over'd on a single boss in II.
Is it not coming to pc?
I can’t yet dummy, I’m on the early game
>didn't rebrand it to Trails of Flash
You had one job NISA
I can't wait to fully understand everything about Ouroboros as soon as Cold Steel 12 comes out, haha
Nigger
Just buff your physical atk and spam your s-craft. They are horribly overpowered.
AT Delay
Noble command

Fie evade tank
Reminder to give her your heart and soul.
will they fix it so that you can romance Fie

how are decisions from the first one handled in the second? I know you can import saves on pc but what about ps4? how do they deal with your waifu choice if you have no save game to import
just wait for 4. It's what matters anyway.
2 Year timeskip+everyone moving on with their lives=relationship reset pretty much.
Perfect time to swallow the Mussepill.
It's a kiseki game, your decisions don't matter.
I believe you get a prompt when you meet one of the old class VII, dictating whether your relationship is friend/gf
based mussanon
no
>keep posting slut instead of good girl sara
i can do both
Which VA is getting the most important role of them all.
no information yet
haha
only if there is a switch version
>Snoy exclusive
Has NISA confirmed no censorship yet?
Life must suck hard for you if you need to wait until something is completely finished before you'll play or watch it. Must be a habit you've picked up from watching Tyrone fuck your wife to completion over and over again.
somehow sword isnt front girl but tsundere is
I still haven't finished the Sky games so not really.
It only goes downhill from there, so if you can't even finish those, there's no reason to ever play another Trails game.
It's NISA, they'll censor it anyway to get a lower rating like those butchered games they released on the ps3 and vita
>Are you looking forward to Trails of Cold Steel III?
yes
>NISA
n/m, dropped.
Cold steel series on the switch when?
NISA hasn't been censor happy for a while. It's 100% Snoy that concerns me currently.
>Life must suck hard for you if you need to wait until something is completely finished before you'll play or watch it.
there's plenty other games/media to play/watch until then so doesn't make much of a difference to me.
Almost every first game in an arc sets up hype for a sequel that doesn't matter in the slightest if you play them back-to-back years after they're all out. The journey is just as important as the destination.
>The journey is just as important as the destination.
then I can't wait to play them in one straight journey once they're all released.
Wow are you okay? Do you need to let off some steam?
The available games already require 600+ hours to complete in total, so have fun burning out hard playing them back to back when there's even more games available in 10 years.
Also, said sequels suck ass and are inferior the the series starter. SC and CS2 were such mindnumbing fucking drags that were, minimum, double the playtime of FC and CS. Not to mention how both sequels offered very little in the ways of new locations and genuinely new things in general (still more than yakuza does but thats a damn low bar).
No because I haven't played TiTS yet
Once those are remade for PS4 I'll get them all
>so have fun burning out hard playing them back to back when there's even more games available in 10 years.
I played Diablo 2 for 8 years straight so I doubt I'll have any problems getting burnt out. Plus if things keep going the way they are now I'll hopefully be retired by then and will have plenty of time to go through them.
There are 3 sept-terrions left in the story and it takes an average of 2.25 Trails games to deal with a sept-terrion so there should be 7 more games.
I played TiTS FC in April 2011 when it came out on PSP. Then SC in 2015 when it came out. Over 4 fucking years later. I'd forgotten damn near everything from the original, including how god awful the menus were. Not exactly a great way to play through a series either.
The main plot of each arc is basically self-contained and doesn't have any overlap until CS3 and 4, which basically concludes everything that's happened up until that point. Sky is just a shitty otome love story that ends with the evil organization actually having a plan that extends into the other games as well.
AO is very good, but it also was the point of inflection, with Lloyd being a Rean-lite.
>Ouroboros
>Enforcers (complete with roman numeral numbering)
The edge was in this series from the very start. All of Trails was the anime.
The difference is that the enforcers very intimidating characters who were overwhelmingly powerful and difficult boss fights. In the other games, they turned into Team Rocket and aren't intimidating in the slightest. Not in the gameplay, nor the story.
>the enforcers very intimidating characters who were overwhelmingly powerful and difficult boss fights
When did any of that ever happen? My source of reference are the Sky games. Haven't played any beyond them due to waiting for non-iffy translations of Ao/Zero.
When is it coming to PC?
You must've played on easy/normal, because the enforcers in SC tend to start off with S-Crafts that kill your entire or most of your party in one turn. Loewe will also fuck your shit up in general if you don't abuse Grail Sphere.
>censorstation
Pass
Never. XSEED fangirls and Chinese players kept on review bombing Ys VIIII after they fixed the port and localization so that ship has sailed.
lol what bullshit
They've always been a complete joke. Even Loewe is a nothing personnel who can't manage to kill anyone.
>tfw this can't possibly escape censorship
No, get fucked pclard
All Trails games up to CS3 have had at least one PC port, so it'll most likely happen. Now when it'll come, whether by NISA being pressured to make one or them contracting some poor company to pick up their slack is another matter entirely. I give it at least six months after CS3 releases.
>they fixed the port and localization
They put a bandage on both of those things. Neither are up to par (much less above standard) compared to past ports and localizations.
Enforcers are literally just powered up edgy soul searchers
>Ys 8
>fixed
Nigger that shit crashes every ten minutes
hello NISAshill
Why don't they just call Durante, they can get his fee back from sales and collect whatever spare change is left. I wonder if they're dead set on doing the port themselves so they don't want to say anything.
I love emma!
It's crazy that after finishing Sky I would easily buy an entire console just to play the next sequel for this series.
Then I played Cold Steel 1 and 2 and I can calmly say I'm perfectly content waiting for a potential PC release.
>NISA being pressured to make one or them contracting some poor company to pick up their slack is another matter entirely
NISA doesn't have in-house programmers. They didn't do the Ys VIII port themselves, either. If it happens, it'll be outsourced, but it's highly unlikely. If anything, they'll port have the CS arc to Switch.
>being this delusiona
shut up aceman
Sounds like you have a shit PC, fampai. I finished the game just fine without a single crash, and the localization itself is fine. It's not as colorful as XSEED's fanfic tier scripts, but it's not bad.
Honestly, if it turns out the game is censored I'm going to be so fucking mad and buy it anyway because I'm a cuck.
Y-Yes user
Shut the fuck up shill, you’re making me cringe
>past ports
Seven and Celceta are the only Ys ports XSEED's done, the rest are actual PC games, just like the Sky trilogy. I don't understand why so few people know this. In fact, Oath in Felghana and Ark were both fan translations for the JP PC version that were BOUGHT by XSEED and used for official localizaiton.
that's so witch who is better at orbal arts than actual magic
Projecting hard, nigger. Enjoy no PC port of CS3. Then again, haven't you been campaigning fort NISA not to do the localization anyhow? Be consistent and keep boycotting the whole game instead of begging for ports like a little bitch.
Serious question. Why they're doing trailers with DUB instead of SUBS for these type of games, if they know that mainly weebs are buying it?
No bullying.
They're also extremely contrieved in SC. Every one of them is an eevillllll counterpart to a party member. Most, knowing said counterpart from their dark secret pasts at that. That entire game was so fucking corny.
Haha... That's our patient user for you!
>no PC
Apparently not.
Both ports are horrid and ugly as fuck. I can't believe they used the waifu upscaler on the artwork/UI and called it a day. Couldn't get Seven working for months.
>Seven and Celceta are the only Ys ports XSEED's done, the rest are actual PC games
I was talking about PC ports of japanese games of recent years in general, not just Ys. Outside of Koei-Tecmo that is. They're still pretty shit.
Musse best girl
Yet the future games made them even cornier and an even bigger focus in than Sky. Bleublanc is a fucking clown in the Sen arc.
>
but I agree that trope was overused in SC
This is why Kekseki is Yea Forums's most hated JRPG series. All these games are so shit that everyone hates now.
>Outside of Koei-Tecmo
Compile Heart/IF still produce the worst ports imaginable. Dark Rose Valkyrie doesn't even work for most players, and some say you have to unplug all your USB devices for it to stop stuttering.
>SC
>I'm a dark version of you
>The main villain is a madman asshole ex-church member who constantly threatens you and even uses your love interest as a puppet, extremely manipulative
>Cold Steel 2
>"LOL DUBULLY BULLY HER!!!!"
>"Dude I just don't care. I'm so strong, but I don't care. I'm just so cool."
>The main villain is some dumb bitch who does nothing until the very end of the game where she fails horribly
>Acts buddy buddy with the main team too
Not sure what point you think you're making here.
>does nothing
>is a villain
you're literally contradicting yourself
Now you're beginning to understand.
>Vita
>a villain
So, things haven't changed? Good to know. Having only played the Sky games, and not enjoying them all that much, it seems like continuing to invest time and money into it wouldn't be the best of moves.
I want to FUCK Sara
Not with NISA at the helm.
Watch it delete its own saves every time it loads, or cause the system it is played upon to destroy itself.
Vita is a dark version of Emma. A dark version of a worthless witch who can't do anything is still incapable of doing anything, so I guess it makes sense.
Play the superior Ys instead, nerd.
Can Tio be used as a party member in TOCS3/4? Please say yes
She's a guest member for certain parts.
The changes are that the organization is a background presence instead of the main antagonists of later games, and characters are more aware that members don't behave consistently.
maybe
>Towel Tio
No bikini Tio?
Nah. The series has gotten way too trashy and low-brow for me.
It ain't right I tells you
sadly no
Do we at least get some good content with Fie or Altina considering he seems to hook up with any girl from the entire franchise in these 2 games
>any of the harem content
>good
Also III actually dials back on that stuff relative to the others.
Nope, even less relevant than ever, and canonically Rean is friendzoned with everyone because choosing a canon option for Rean would cause a riot, since they let waifufags choose their own waifu in the actual games.
Can I at least waifu best girl Celine
based singa saving falcom music, fateful confrontation and unfathomed force btfo
I would be more excited if it wasn't NIS and it was xseed
I remember the hope 3 gave everyone.
>Oh, only Emma, Alisa, and Laura are love interests. Thank God, maybe we can move away from the haremshit.
>Wait everyone in Class 7 reunites and only Rean is allowed to touch any of the girls? That's kind of weird...
>CS4 releases
>EMMA, ALISA, LAURA, ALTINA, MUSSE, JUNA, SARA, FIE, AND EVEN HUMAN FORM CELINE. YES WE ARE HACKS ENOUGH THAT WE TURNED THE CAT INTO A HUMAN SO SHE COULD BE A HAREM OPTION.
Jesus fucking christ. What happened to Falcom.
Now this is a projecting holy shit
At least we have bikini Altina which is almost the next best thing.
The best part is how those games combined sold less than Ys VIII, which doesn't focus on waifushit at all.
Celine isn't an option. They still shouldn't have done that stupid catgirl thing though. It serves no story purpose whatsoever.
She'll be an option in Cold Steel 5 haha...
You mean assumptions.
>Emma and Laura
>having a chance outside haremshit
*chuckle*
Judging that her final bonding event ends with her sitting down with Rean and blushing furiously while talking to him, yeah.
You forgot Estelle and Tita.
FUCK THE EMPIRE!
dropbox.com
>Alisa
>dogshit
pick 2
-ad
Fuck no. I didn't much like CS 1 and 2 so this is a big pass.
ok this one is cringe
Saying cringe is cringe.
>NISA
Not now, not ever. Shame after all the time I put into the Skys and CSs.
but you just said it
Requesting more Altina and Human Celine.
Emma is just a shit Celine right? Anything that could have been good about Emma's character was just given to the cat Celine instead
I choose Alisa.
peak obsessed
It's honestly baffling. Alisa should have been removed from the game completely, maybe even Laura. Remove Celine too and give all of her roles to Emma. Emma should have been the sole love interest, someone who manipulates Rean in the beginning but ends up slowly falling for him over the course of the games.
Take the piratepill.
It's okay I'm cringy by nature.
>someone who manipulates Rean in the beginning but ends up slowly falling for him over the course of the games.
sounds familiar, doesn't it?
WHY IS 90% OF TRAILS DOUJIN ALISA
WHY DO JAPS GET SO HARD FOR TSUN GIRLS
I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT
Not really since he sees through her instantly.
>No PC version
Nope, not interested
Alisa isn't even remotely tsun beyond first half of CS1 though
How long are CS3 & 4 relative to previous Trails games? Also please tell me they have fixed the pacing a bit. If there's one thing Japanese develops suck and it's proper pacing leading to shit tons of filler and everything important stacked in the last 5 hours of the game. The Trails series has gotta be one of the worst game series for this as well
No, because her manipulating amounted to being absolutely nothing. Really that's the case for all the student characters outside of Ash, who was the one everyone expected the least out of funny enough.
Imagine following this series for a decade only for NISA to get their hands on it
Haha...
So Rean dicks the cat right?
>every single trails game is full of filler and an overarching plot that moves at a glacial pace
>did they fix this in CS3
Haha...
Longer. Falcom formula is still Falcom formula, so you're going to have the usual cycle of main story and mandatory/optional chores. III spends the least time of any of the English games or possibly any Trails game screwing around with less essential plot, but it still follows the pattern.
Always.
Nope.
Canonically friendzoned by all the girls.
Will only show up with Crow in future games.
He's a faggot and a cuck.
That one with the armpit job was pretty good at least
Rean...
Well Tio followed by Altina are best girls and they got diddly squat
So what logic does Rean use this time to once again bath with every single girl from the entire franchise. Don't tell me he bathes with Vita as well?
Cs2 Fie > Cs3 Fie > Cs1 Fie for looks. Fuck CS2 is a god send
What about Cs4 Fie?
>logic in a japanese harem light novel
Haha
Why does Zephyr feel so much weaker than Red constellation. They are talked about as Equals but it doesn't even feel close
same as 3 unless you count DLCs
Which game are you talking about? In III the baths are sex segregated, so the girls are in another room and he only bathes with guys. In IV he bathes with literally everyone, usually or always in mixed groups if there's a cutscene.
>fie
>looks good
nice joke
Battle system in CS makes everything feel piss easy.
Now this is truth
How far do I have left to go in 2? I stopped after the first spirit shrine and making that giant katana and that one town got razed that I'm supposed to feel sad for
NO. I've wasted around 200 hours playing this shitty Sen series. fuck me.
They've always been team rocket.
you're maybe halfway
I love Millium
You're at the end of act 1 of 3 if I remember correctly.
Haha
And she loves Jusis.
If he's already experienced the Ottocaust he should be past there.
So this is the power of Falcom budget
I'll get it when it hits pc, no point getting a ps4 now when next gen is incoming.
I love Towa
Garbage Mary Sue.
A design too good to only use in one franchise
>no point getting a ps4 now
Its literally the best time to get one
>Can easily and cheaply catch up with any exclusives you missed
Then I am Jusis. Fuck Rean & Crow, Jusis is true
So when are Ouroboros gonna stop jobbing and play off every loss as just another part of furthering their main plan.
Considering how strong they are meant to be when they get serious they dont really seem to win very much and just fuck around
Yes. I wish Reansama would hug me like he does Crow. I'll have to content myself loving him from afar.
How can one girl be so based?
Do you get to use Rean as a party member in CS3 or 4
What are your thoughts on the dub for Cold Steel? Personally I think it's pretty solid, aside from some odd script decisions. I'm happy that most of the cast are confirmed for 3.
Ouroboros is finished as a threat. Stick a fork in them. You can only play the "Just as planned" card so many times.
By being the writer's pet character
Explained Towa to me
I am but I give way more of a shit about Ys 9. Well at least I'm pretty sure 3 will be way better than 1 and 2 at least, plus I can always use more Towa and Sara.
Well, if their plan is to get the Sept-Terrions out of Zemuria, people are still basically doing what they want.
>A design too good to only use in one franchise
Seems they really like her design.
He is the main character
in 4 you have Juna as the MC for the first part until Rean comes back
How far we've come..
I like it.
>juna as MC
You don't really. They say she fills in for him but in she's not even the free day character for that entire period.
Kondo does
Do you get to use Renne* as a party member in CS3 or 4
Holy fuck I'm retarded. I blame these threads only every being about Rean
Hey I think I recognise that artist
Played first game dubbed was indifferent but ok with it. Played CS2 undubbed and since then would never go back
So if Towa is so popular why was she nothing more than a guest character in the party. Surely they would have forced her is as permanent
4
Ashly Burch isnt coming back for cs3, so improving at least
Glad all the cast is coming back (still no sign of Sharon or Towa yet though), aside from Ashly Burch, who has decided she's too big for anime now.
I think we don't need to summon the autist who can't stand the fact that most people don't play CS undubbed.
They could pretty much have zero involvement and it would still get done. Ao for example would have still happened without them it just might have taken slightly longer
I think it's mainly because she was the one to call old Class 7 out on their bullshit for doing nothing to help Rean
she keeps the group together
>if their plan is to get the Sept-Terrions out of Zemuria
That's wrong though. They didn't give a fuck about what happened to the Earth/Fire, only that they reappeared.
Is Tokyo Xanadu really as bad as people say?
So how many costumes does this have compared to its predecessors. The CS1/CS2 Costumes were pretty bad. Anyone got any examples outside the swimsuits
They seem to be operating under a timelimit
It just felt like Ys and Cold Steel had a really boring baby to me
>Ouroboros is finished as a threat
Uh, I don't think so. Not when they just got their secret weapon at the end of CS4.
It's alright. Story is ok, not as good as Trails games. Combat isn't as good as Ys but still fun enough.
It's a ok game.
But overall what does this accomplish. Fuck it better not build up to some Kingdom Hearts Tier grand plan
Genius girl who is loved by everyone. Very hard worker but also clumsy because she needs a cute attribute, not clumsy because it's an actual flaw. Towa is so amazing at being student council president that she is invited to an incredibly important international summit where the leaders of nations convene for the sake of diplomacy. She then does such a good job being a scribe that every single leader immediately loved her and wanted her to come with them.
Later on, Towa is given leadership of an aerial vessel, as the grizzled, experienced, veteran commander of the ship realizes that the juvenile with no war experience who has never once captained a ship would make a superior leader for the wartime operations (and was later proven right, because Towa is good at literally everything). Towa is so amazing that reality itself feels pity for anywhere that doesn't have Towa, so it finds a way to put Towa in other dimensions and different continuities. In addition to her overwhelming charisma and ability to do anything perfectly the moment it's assigned to her, Towa also has her own unique in-game mechanic centered entirely around her that no other character shares. Very top grade writing.
Yeah, it's pretty shit. It's a game Falcom slapped together in under a year to make up for Ys VIII being delayed.
That's a small car
Joshua is so hot. I want to cuck Estelle.
I'm more of an Agate man myself. I like them rough.
IF SHARON'S VA DOESN'T COME BACK I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF IRL I FUCKING MEAN IT
THOSE VOCALS MAKE MY DICK INTO DIAMONDS
M A S T E R R E A N
Agate's great and underrated.
its 'let's take plot points of Trails and put it in a modern setting with supernatural tidbits here and there' + action gameplay using Cold Steel 2 animations
I enjoyed it but its hard to recommend it because its mediocre to ok
They seem to be forcefully accelerating the fulfillment of the pacts for whatever purpose. In that sense 4/7 should be answered and rejected now.
Are you ready for the reveal this is a proxy and the Grandmaster was Campanella all along. His character just feels like one that's going to be the biggest role player in the end game but hides it all behind trolls.
The IV DLC costumes are basically all out-of-place slutwear for waifufags. III has some decent casual clothes DLC. There are also some in-game outfits for Rean and his students. Old VII doesn't really get anything in-game because they're more like fancy guests for most of it.
That's only 'if' that's their goal. GM's comments at the end of IV indicate she's concerned about something the series' party characters aren't aware of at all.
Shirley is my wife
Weren't Earth and Fire destroyed?
I bought Tokyo Xanadu but only got about 10 hours in. Is it worth picking up again and if so how much does EX+ add
the combat makes trails combat look hard by comparison lol
I don't like Sen's dub, I'm too used to playing Kiseki undubbed. Sean does a great job as Rean though so I'll give him that. Plus the chance of the returning characters having a different voice is something I don't like. Also I'd be missing Koyasu as everyone's favorite prince.
I can accept this. Never really cared much for Joshua but Renne is a massive plus to any game and Estelle makes it more fun.
How old is Renne is CS4 anyway? She looks much older than in Zero/Ao
I've thought of the possibility, but I can't see much supporting the case. It's literally a dorothy=GM -tier prediction. I'd say there's at least half a dozen more likely candidates.
Yeah, so what? Ouroboros had already washed their hands of the whole thing when they saw that the rest of the rivalries were going to be completed.
I enjoyed it for the price I paid so it was worth 20 bucks to me. I don't know how much EX+ adds since I never played the original version.
So shes a mary sue waifu bait character basically?
Man I used to think she was ok and not think much about it but in perspective shes about as cardboard cutout as it gets. At least shes cute
Why do cars in trails games look so retarded like holy fuck. Then the character get in them and they are the size of a mansion inside. Fucking clown cars man
the prime age
No, but they were rendered unusable by humans, which was the goal of the plan, apparently.
In other words, the lore in CS sucks.
So when is Sharon going to do something meningful. Like shes a member of Ouroboros for some reason and it feels so tacked on and pointless
That's pretty unlikely since she's shown having a conversation with him where it looks like she knows things he doesn't.
Not destroyed but removed from their dimension or whatever. GM specifies that they aren't just gone.
Pretty much
Well true you must admit Campanella probably has much more to do with the plan than a lot of the other members. As an enforcer it feels like he has more authority and knows much about everything than the rest of the enforcers
Jesus christ, imagine game overing on a fucking coldsteel game. You must be a literal retard.
Ash pls.
She deserves to go down in history as one of the tummiest RPG girls of all time
Like I get there is a new Class VII and all but are the old members still treated like main characters. They at least come back somewhat early right? Dunno how I feel about changing out the entire cast
>Plus the chance of the returning characters having a different voice is something I don't like
OG Class VII are all back except Millium
Post more lewds
>Are you looking forward to Trails of Cold Steel III?
>Only on Censorstation 4
Nope
What happened to Millium? Fucking dunno why western voice actors change all the fucking time in western releases and treat it like nothing
>except Millium
what a gosdsend fuck ashley bitch
I mean why would you listen to the dub anyway. I mean some characters are ok but overall its very very average
Just make her a main character in Calvard and I'm sold day one with a collectors edition
Shut up pedophile, altina is barely a character and Tio is generic.
Yeah I knew about that but I was talking about characters from previous arcs
Nope Rean cares more about his students then his old "friends" and they get most of the screen time
If you had listened to what Campanella actually says you'd know it was not the goal, just an acceptable result.
best theory about Campanella I've heard is that he will eventually complete whatever Ouroboros is trying to accomplish with the whole enforcer -system on the grand scale. (becoming first (The Fool) and the last (The World) enforcer as depicted in the whole Ouroboros' symbolism. In any case more to do about enforcers itself than anything else.
>thinking Calvard will ever be made
user...
I dunno about you man but there is nothing better than a good navel and good thighs. She hits both of these points hard and takes it home
I haven't finished Trails in the Sky yet, let alone gotten started on Cold Steel. And isn't there a series inbetween them, that lacks proper translation?
You guys are joking everythread about getting CS5 before Calvard right? Please tell me it's a joke
>A Trails thread that isn't 16 IPs and half the thread being one faggot spamming "ha ha"
Thank God.
By the way Cold Steel is shit and ruined the entire series thanks.
>Ashly Burch
Please tell me she's a minor character. Or if not, that there's dual audio in the PC releases.
The real joke is that they'd stop at CS5 instead of going all the way to CS7 to play off the whole "Class VII" parallel
Haha...
>If you had listened to what Campanella actually says you'd know it was not the goal, just an acceptable result.
Oh, fuck off with your semantics, you pedantic twat.
New VII has a more cohesive and properly developed party dynamic that works better than the old one's weird 'we're all friends, apparently' thing. As for old VII's role, basically each chapter has some of them show up to do some stuff with Rean and drop exposition, but they're not the stars since they all have their own careers. Late in the game you'll get to use everyone at once for some stuff. In IV you get both groups for most of the game, but after act I that game runs into the problem of too many people being present and only a handful of them having distinct enough voices to notice in the cutscenes.
Jesus christ what is this outfit and why were we blessed with it?
Tell me the other girls can wear it as well
How is Tio generic? Fuck she has more character than any of the girls in Cold Steel. If you want generic look no further than Elie who does literally nothing in Ao and is just kind of there. Every other character has entire dedicated to them except for her
Now I'm disappointed and it honestly feels like that hurts the previous games as well considering how different he becomes. Without spoiling anything plot related can you at least tell me the game is worth it and why
Based and Skypilled
>A teacher spends more time with his students than his friends who're spread across the country and living their own lives
Scandalous
Marrying these two off was literally the only good thing Cold Steel did.
ashly burch joined the troy baker club of no more anime
It's only for Emma and Rean and only in NG+ with optional outfits turned on, outside of briefly in her bonding stuff. Honestly they're not that amazing. They both have options that don't cover their whole bodies with greyscale and highlighter.
Gay. The only reason I liked CS1 and CS2 was that falcom did a decent enough job on the characters and I was invested enough to finish the games. What’s the fucking point of it all if they ditch class VII in CS3?
If I remember correctly, Trails of Zero takes place at the same time as Steel.
Man you guys hyped Ao so much and honestly feel a bit bummed now. The game felt great and built up quite well but Mariabell Crois was a really bad Villian and making Ian Grimwood the Killer over Arios felt super forced.
Millium, kind of halfway between a big character and a minor character honestly
Actual perfection.
CS4 at least ended it's plot line right? Don't tell me it had another setup end for CS5 like CS2 did for CS3
>why doesn't rean just go completely out of character and act wildly irresponsible even though he's now a grown man and his old friends are also adults with their own careers
k
But does Rean have a nice ass?
>YES WE ARE HACKS ENOUGH THAT WE TURNED THE CAT INTO A HUMAN SO SHE COULD BE A HAREM OPTION
Are you kidding me? Which? Which game does this? What game would I have to play to even see Celine in human form? There are so many CS games, which is it? Disgusting.
What is this costume? I'm assuming it plays a part in the end of CS4 hence you only get to use it in NG+. Also is that further that confirmation that Emma should have been the main girl all along considering the plot seems to follow her unlike the others that just chill in the background
>grown man
>20 years old
fuck off, let me have my high school shounen harem fantasy
So the real question no one seems to have asked. Does Vita also join the Rean harem? Does she also get her own bathing scene and swimsuit like every other girl.
Vita > Emma
Figuring out what Ouroboros wants is literally all semantics.
What's funny is that before even CS3 released /fg/ joked constantly about human Celine. Like "Ha, wouldn't it be funny if Falcom were pathetic enough to do that? But we haven't fallen that far yet".
Then CS4 happened and disappointed everyone in several amazing ways.
what outfit is towa wearing? what occupation does she have after 2?
No. In fact she'll probably join back to GM's third plan. She was always loyal to GM, just disagreed with how the Phantasmal Blaze Plan should've been done.
oh no no no no no
If we're getting into models, none of the characters, male or female, actually have nice asses. The boys are too flat and the girls are the wrong kind of pear shaped. Rean looks better in just his pants or his old Crow outfit/teacher underclothes. Of the boys, Ash has the most going on back there, but it's all trickery and a different run cycle.
It's their astral bodies. Emma does some magic bullshit to try to help him in her bonding events, and they use those forms for them.
This is why dubs for Japanese games will always be shit. The voice actors are the worst in the industry that can't get any other job and they change out the voice actors all the time for almost any reason. My personal favorite is Tales of Vespera on PS4 the new lines for Yuri are done by a new voice actor so instead of going back and revoicing the old lines they decided to have two voice actors for the same character in the same game. You can literally get two different voice actors in the same conversation
I don't know how anyone can defend this
I gotta be honest user. I always wanted celine to have a human form, her voice is 10/10
More
Why do you plague Trails with your shit taste? Go play Persona.
Based, dab on coldsteel babies.
Isn't it great how Rean's and Crow's looks changed so much between CS2 and CS3 so they could heavily push the ship for Fujos. The fact that every girl ends up in a friendzone with Rean will he continues to have have a massive hardon for Crow speaks volumes
Calvard when?
>implying the trails series was ever even in the same galaxy as someone with good taste
She's a teacher with Rean, so she still turns up more than you want unless she's your waifu. I feel like they toned down how magically perfect she is, but it may be that I just got good at ignoring her.
crow is DEAD.
rean married LAURA.
they live in LEGRAM and have a second home in YMIR.
these are the facts
For as bad as CS1 can be I must admit the ending with Valimar and Celine going full blown assist mode inside the cockpit was pretty boner inducing
Persona>Trails
Objectively.
I mean I really liked Celine as a character probably a lot more than I should have. Her character while being a familar/cat worked quite well. What is the feeling on human Celine and also, why?
>tfw no Human Celine to share cockpit with
They already teased the Calvard MC-chan
A nice character who was given a waifubait form so she could be girl #12 of Rean's harem and lose individuality.
Human Celine is cute! CUTE!
Was there ever a more Kino moment then when Kevin Salted Weissman
I mean she's cute and all but why does she become a human
>Best girl of Persona 5 and best girl of Sen share the same dub VA
Is this a sign?
To help Rean during a sequence where he absolutely doesn't need help in the first place and almost immediately gets much better help anyway. In other words, because Falcom is full of otaku faggots.
You fags have inspired me to give Sky another shot!
Wish me luck lads
Witnessing these superior facts and logic bombs. Grandpa Rean spends his days sex wrestling with Laura to make their 30th Cold Steel Jr.
Yeah, and it's bullshit. Falcom keeps on relying on these stupid vagueries to keep Ouro's role in the story relevant and disguise the fact that they have no idea what the hell to do with them as characters. They went from boilerplate JRPG villains to some misunderstood group of vigilantes trying to save the world from some little-known threat. It's so stupid.
end of CS3 and end of Ao ch4
Because some shit regarding being the kin of the Holy Beast of Fire. I don't remember if they ever actually specified more. Seemed like an afterthought.
As much as you guys seem to love the girls in trails. I don't think anything can compare to Lloyd's daughter Kea. She's too fucking cute
I want to pet the cat.
Joshua's a lucky guy, huh?
I mean you could have just said she wanted Rean's dick and I would have believed you. I'm assuming that's still the case though
>female protagonist
>when Falcom has gone full waifushit.
lolno. She'll be one of the MC's (aka Rean 2.0) cocksleeves.
Imitation of love for imitation of life.
Celine isn't a harem option, so no.
They'll enter the implied yuri era
Without too many spoilers, why is Rean perma in between ogre and base form in IV?
Of your shit taste? Yeah.
Why couldn't you just die rather than joining ouroboros
I don't think Falcom wants their games to utterly bomb.
The reason is pretty fundamentally spoilery. In your terms, too much ogre juice.
How are they going to explain Zero/Ao not being translated considering how core they are. I mean most of us here probably played the shitty fan translation but that wouldn't be the case for the majority
>core
You didn't actually believe that, did you?
She was destined for greater things. Like bullying Elie.
Aight, leave it at that then lol
Was this series going full Gundam a good idea
Tbh I won't be surprised if they eventually are localised one day.
I think there was something NISA said about an addition to CS3 that would catch players up. So crossbell never.
She essentially is. Her bonding events end with her blushing at Rean.
Why is it so hard for Falcom to just write a decent cohesive story? Why do they constantly reuse ouroboros as a plot device whenever they need a villain? Why did the series devolve into waifushit?
Why does Falcom need 4+ games to tell a story that could’ve been done in 2?
It's okay all major Gundams are gone now. They just have them as a bulk force in Erebonian military now.
You can just say you didn't play sen 3-4 user.
Ouroboros haven't been villains since Weissmann. Maybe you're interpreting the story the wrong way.
No, the series is fucking trash, TitS was trash, Falcom is trash and has been for a long fucking time
They use the little Previously on... main menu thing you've seen before. But anything actually relevant from earlier games will be utterly spoiled so there's no chance of being lost. People who care about spoilers really need to play the fan translations beforehand.
But I have played both of them.
To draw it out as long as possible and get more money.
Nah, no one has sex in the Kiseki universe other than Renne and fat old men.
They need something to connect the games together and keep the interest flowing. Regardless if this is correct or not is another story
Estelle and Joshua canonically fucked several times, were you not paying attention in the games?
how often does Renne give them tips on how to do it right?
Have you? Projection and poor fan translations aside, there's no implication of anyone ever having sex anywhere in the series aside from the aforementioned whore, which is hilarious.
It makes sense. No one ever dies, so why would anyone ever fuck and have new children?
Yes, I’ve played every Trails game and there are several scenes where joshua and estelle sneak off to fuck. Are you trolling or something? It’s common knowledge that they fuck all the time
Renne is cumdoll, so she doesn't know how to fuck, she just gets fucked.
Not as lucky as Rean, haha...
>No one ever dies
Otto ;(
One of her Paradise personalities was literally about pleasing your customer.
>Are you trolling or something?
I'm clearly not the one trolling here, headcanon-user. Not even Rean gets to fuck any of his love interests no matter who he chooses, and Estelle/Joshua have the kind of relationship 8 year olds think adults have, holding hands, sleeping in separate beds, sitting a seat apart and having innocent kisses.
>Estelle, your unspeakables are quite speakable right now
Stop responding to cancer.
>No one ever dies
>Start up SC
>Someone questions Estelle on the choice of a new outfit
>She explicitly states she wanted to be wearing new cute clothes to make Joshua happy when they meet again
>And she specifically chose a skirt that easily reveals her panties
Based Estelle.
that's our retardanon
Her belly is delicious. Truly.
The player's interest in the series does.
>mfw that fic where estelle forgets to wear her panties with her new outfit and constantly keeps accidently flashing anelace during their training
>Crow
>dead
Should we tell him?
>No one ever dies
It still hurts, bros.
Can herbivore CS girls even compare?
he’s DEAD user. I saw him get pierced through the heart! I saw it!
haha...
Do I need to play Cold Steel 1 and 2 to play this?
do you think olivier made rean funnel his royal cock so that he’d keep funding Class VII?
yes
Crow doesn't have a heart. Or a brain.
>Do I need to play
What does that even mean? If you're interested in this story based series why wouldnt you want to play all of them?
jesus christ user leave this thread before you get spoiled
The only thing got pierced was Renne's hymen, and it shattered into a million pieces as the old man ejaculated three months worth of baby gravy into her underdeveloped womb.
How confused do you want to be on scale of 10? If you play CS1-2, you'll probably be at like 7/10 if you didn't play sky/crossbell
>PS4 exclusive
Why when the first two games already on steam?
PEE
CEE
I was really scared Cold Steel would bring him back. Thank god it didn't. He had his arc, it was great and made you feel things, and now it's over, and nothing can change that.
Different localizer.
Of course.
Same with crow. He’s dead and never coming back. It’s over and nothing can change that.
Surely Rean will move on in CS3 and the story will stop sucking crow’s dick
Except not. Remember when Loewe wanted Ouroboros to seize the Aureole because he believed humanity needed to be tested for the crimes it committed in Hamel?
Remember when his entire motive was made moot due to the fact that it wasn't some warhungry assholes that made Hamel happen, it was actually an evil ancient curse created by some weird alien thing and it made people go crazy?
Yeah. Nice one Falcom.
That's not how the curse worked.
I hold in my hand the asspull of kondo, may his dirtiest of bullshit become reality. COLD STEEL(5)™
It sad and hilarious to think that there will probably be someone who will play CS4 without ever touching any other trails game.
Yeah, it was really sad. But on the other hand it's better to leave it as it is, instead of pushing some asspull like they did with Crow.
Give me your honest opinion guys. Who is your favourite character in trails. Guy girl or animal
no i played it in japanese already :^)
The curse was formed from the thoughts of the people (witches & gnomes) back then.
It’s not even all their fault either. I’ve seen promo stuff for CS3 saying it’s a good place to start
>This actually relates to people who have just discovered this series and wondering if they can jump in, the simple answer is yes they can! This is because although Rean is older now, he’s still the main character and is in charge of the growth of the New Class VII. In a way, they’re kind of similar to the player, as they have a lot of things that need to be explained to them, so in general Trails of Cold Steel III is a great place to start whether you’re veteran or a newcomer to the series.
I've finished CS1 and 2 without ever touching Sky lmao.
I'm gonna first say I assume CS3 and CS4 are chock full of fan service if they downplayed the harem to friendzoning and pushing rean for crow. Why are Japanese games so scared of having one main love interest in the game. Theres no fucking point of a harem if it just blueballs you at the end. At least CS2/CS1 you could pick who was the girl I guess.
Also why does it always end at fucking kid level hugs and kisses on the cheek etc
The one and only. I don't know whether to be happy or sad that he hasn't shown up again since 3rd. I guess happy since Cold Steel can't ruin him. It's also kind of cool that the series leaves little hints about him and his company, that he's always on the fringe of things.
For me it's Renne
That's literally PR talk. There's no reason to expect them to say anything else.
Is that NISA saying that? They don't make any money if people only play the first 1 or 2 and drop the series.
Some people are only interested in being part of the conversation for games
CS was designed as an entry point. 3 onwards though isnt as friendly to people who skip Sky and Crossbell
What would fucking Estelle be like? Fuck you could probably say it's a team bonding session and she would probably believe you
What are you talking about?
>Old Crow outfit
Which one?
It was literally from a guy from NISA telling people to start at CS3. That’s retarded
So I do have a question. When Osborne and Crow 'died' during CS1/CS2 it was beyond fucking obvious they were gonna come back they weren't even trying to be subtle about it. How did they survive though?
>The demiurgos doesn't count because its KeA even though it was all thanks to ouroboros
okay retard
Do you like the new class VII ?
The DLC one.
>It was all thanks to Ouroboros
It really wasn't.
MAY A THOUSAND THORNS ADORN YOUR FLESH WITH DESPAIR.
MAY YOU BE AS GARBAGE, IGNORANT AND ALONE.
Osborne hasn't had a heart for over a decade, so a shot to the chest dealt no fatal damage to him. Crow gets revived by a certain villain faction that gets introduced in CS3 proper.
Ah, I was hoping for the "C" outfit for Rean, it speaks to my personal tastes.
Let's be honest hes a popular character they will bring back for shock value at some point or another. No one ever stays dead in this series, I wouldn't even be surprised to see Weissman come back and find out he was the Grandmaster all along or some bullshit.
Fuck Loewe will prob join Rean's harem as well. Fancom really know their audience
Never played cs3 or 4, just going by the new promo stuff, here are my first impressions:
>Juna: Cute as fuck, absolutely would form a combat link with
>Musse: Massive slut who probably teases every guy at the school
>Altina: Autistic, most likely retarded
Don’t care about the guys
>ps4
>when the game looks like a ps2 mid-life game
No one's ever really gone
I mean CS3 is pretty skipable to be honest. It adds almost nothing if you have played the other games and doesn't really further the overall plot
First of all. Demiurgos=/=KeA, second of all: neither of them were villains. Thirdly: Ouroboros' only contribution to that was making sure Lloyd & co had enough strength to push onwards and testing the Aions.
Way to sign all that shit with "retard" retard.
I've heard this series is fun as a high school fantasy life simulator like Persona, is it true?
Behold, the exact type of fag Cold Steel is trying to attract, who doesn't care about half the cast because they're male.
Yeah, that’s about right user. Falcom is usually 2-3 gens behind. Take Trails in the Sky, released in 2004 for the PSP. Certainly looks like a GBA/SNES game, yeah?
>It adds almost nothing if you have played the other games and doesn't really further the overall
But that was Cold Steel 2 as well, fuck this series
Why would they do that when Falcom themselves liked the name Cold Steel?
I believe they use the same basic mechanism as Arianrhod, which is that their divine knights can give them energy to function as a kind of undead. It seems like Gnomes might need to do something to activate the function. Supposedly it's a state detectable to people who would recognise subtle differences in the person's body.
Osborne never died there because no heart. (living on life support by being an awakener and immortal.) Crow got revived for same reason as Osborne: by being an awakener and becoming immortal. Or by their direct translation: RISER.
Sort of, but nowhere near as good as Persona
One thing I can say about Sky after finishing it for the first time recently is even for a Falcom the structue of TITS1 and TITS2 is really really bad. I admit I enjoyed the story in the 2nd half on TITS 2 but every chapter was the same thing ad nauseum. I know cold steel has issues but it didn't feel as tedious to get to the later chapters at least
They do kind of borrow bits of each other's clothes. The specific C outfit doesn't come back, sadly. There's only a little fashion carryover from the older games.
To be fair Liberyl a tiny spec on the map in the grand scheme of things. They have no power in the word
I’m currently on Chapter 2 in SC, I literally had to put the game down for a while because it was getting so god damn boring and repetitive. I’m not even enjoying the game anymore, I’m only slogging through it because I keep hearing that SC gets really good later on and it’s a great resolution to FC
>Certainly looks like a GBA/SNES game, yeah?
It definitely does not. And was FC originally released on PC and ported to psp year later.
Well, at least he 2d games age better, but for these series there is no excuse, they take like...what, 3 or 4 years for each game? And the first one was originally on vita if I'm not wrong, and this doesn't look like it has improved a lot.
I'm not talking about 3 only, the 4th game screens look EXACTLY the same.
Did CS3/4 visit the other half of Erebonia that was missed in CS1/CS2 or should I just assume we will get more Erebonia chapters to cover the other half
Honestly it's Renne followed by Tio. I hope we contine to get more Renne
Unironically I actually like Rean as a character and how he changes over 4 games. I get people call him a mary sue but as a character he feels right to play
Legit flipped my shit when I was playing 3rd and was able to play as him
>Mfw solo-ing bosses with his ridiculously short cool downs
The other front just existed so they could handwave that the war was totally bloody but it all just happened away from us
SC has long been regarded highly because of a number of things it does fairly well, but there's no getting around the fact that it has the least interesting padding in the series. They got a little better about justifying it in later games, but if that kind of thing isn't fun for you it's probably best to stop.
This is a GBA game. Trails in the sky definitely doesn’t look that much better
I would, but I already invested like 50 hours in FC and I do want to experience the good parts of SC. I’m probably just gonna skip all the tedious sidequests and just go for the main story tbqh
So they can literally bring back anyone they kill off effortlessly. That kinda kills a lot of weight behind things in the series
Nice pic, ant poster. Next time post a pic for humans.
You say this but then find out the most popular characters are male and Fujos love it
Illiterate retard.
>Mary sue
Really? I always thought he was a good example of a non mary sue character. Sure, he has the whole “chosen one” schtick and all, but it’s not as if he instantly has all his powers and skills or anything. I think the fact that you have to get saved after nearly every boss battle also shows he’s not some all powerful mary sue
Only awakeners or would be awakeners (case Rutger) and that whole mechanism got banished out of human's reach at the end of 4 according to GM. Don't expect any more direct revivals unless someone somehow recreates the sept-terrions again.
FC looked way better than Golden Sun, the fuck?
You're really gonna sit here and tell me that these look similar?
youtu.be
youtu.be
Please share the different costumes Altina and Fie can get in CS3/CS4. Would be highly appreciated. Hopefully we get them and they don't get removed or censored by faggot sony
They're just the opposite end of the spectrum.
Yes, 3/4 is the other half + Crossbell and a return to Heimdallr.
I gotta say I wish Crow was the MC over Rean. He's a much more interesting character
>Certainly looks like a GBA/SNES game, yeah?
if you said psx game I would have agreed with you. it's far from looking like an snes/gba era game.
FC definitely looks better, but not by that much
I can excuse this but CS1/CS2 both looked like trash and ran like trash. They have no fucking idea how to code optimally and I assume they have older graphic people that hate change and stick to what they know
So now that the Gundams are gone when are Ouroboros going to bring out their Aions(Gundams). No one else can compete anymore
If you think they look anything similar then you're just too much of a zoomer to have an opinon.
FC looks like an early era PS2 game.
As standalone games Persona is far better.
Friendly reminder that Rean abhors fujos
Pretty sure the school festival in 1 shaved a few months off my Vitas life span
This is an end of life ps2 game by the way
They bring them out in CS3 and CS4. They don't match up to Divine Knights whatsoever.
A more apt comparison would be something like Grandia or FFT.
But it isn't just Falcom that does this. For some reason Japanese writers love shoe horning everything at the very end so they can have big twists. The problem is it makes the rest of the game feel like filler and not matter in the grand scheme of things.
this too
The last 2 chapters of SC are really really good. Honestly though the first 4 chapters are exactly the same. You go to a town, Ouroboros is performing tests, you track them down and fight them and they fuck off without getting serious. I dunno why they thought this was accetapble as a form of story telling
>psx game
It doesn't.
>FC looks like an early era PS2 game
I’ll give you psx, no way it’d be a ps2 game
Ok thank fuck for that. I dunno how CS3/CS4 being just in crossbell would have worked after Zero and Ao. Whenever the game is posted anywhere its always screenshots from Crossbell so that's all you ever see
Hey, it gave me a chance to climb the four towers again. Besides the other time where you need to do this, and the fourth optional time you can do it for bonus items.
Welcome to Ordis!
wait it's actually on PS4?
sweet
Too bad I cant see the alternate universe with Jusis as the MC and see if that idea bombed or not.
At least buy it used so snoy doesn’t get any money
I can't think of a single psx game that looked anywhere near as good as FC. The only way I can see someone legitimately think this is if they never played a game on an actual playstation and has only ever done upscaled emulation.
What are you comparing it to?
This was why I liked FC overall. SC has the strong story beats it delivers after lots of buildup, but the initial ouroboros wack-a-mole plot is very weak.
You guys can't honestly expect that the Divine Knights are completely gone after CS4 right. They are written out at the moment but when Ouroboros starts letting out their Aions which might as well just be Divine Knights at this point they will come back. They won't miss the chance for more mecha fights
They out number us though.
Meant to quote
>It doesn't.
we're talking trails in the sky and yes it does.
Does Nea show up much later after Ao? Does she do anything meaningful anymore or is she just Lloyds and Ellie's daughter now living a normal life
The only good part of CS2 was when you were able to have that dumb motorbike race and fight with him with this banger playing
youtube.com
Dunno about this one
This is nice however
>Us
Don't lump the trails fanbase in with you waifufaggots.
It’s closer to psx than ps2, that’s for sure
Without spoilers is Osborne a good villian? Is the payoff in CS4 worth 4 games
You're literally playing a Japanese set in highschool(Millitary School) where you have bonding sessions with your female classmates.
>trails series
>ever having a payoff worth the literal hundreds of hours of investment
And now you see why Cold Steel is such a shit stain on the Trails series.
He's pretending to be the villain and his actions made possible for Rean & co to Make Erebonia Great Again.
There is plenty of PSX games that look simmilar to FC. FF8/FF9 are not the norm for PSX games
>yes it does
It doesn't tho.
>It doesn't tho.
It does tho.
Disturbed by the lack of haha in this thread.
Osborne is arguably the best villain in Trails, for whatever that's worth. Whether the payoff is good will be opinions, but we'll have a clearer picture when more people have played it instead of memeing about a Chinese guy's stream they didn't understand. I thought he worked pretty well and the eventual resolution made sense for him.
>It does tho.
It doesn't tho.
>There is plenty of PSX games that look simmilar to FC
Post them.
Such as? You can't make a big ass claim like that as soon as the thread starts dying.
