Look, if we don't have at least 49 quests of immigrants being harassed, threatened, swindled, attacked, sexually harassed, robbed etc by white men how can people properly get the message that wypipo bad?

Love my beautiful, cute, loving, supportive, caring, and adorable wife

>>531013148 (OP)
Let's make every thread better than the last.

>>531014580
Why are Towa's panties so lewd?

You know, I was gonna say how weird it was that everyone in Ymir and even Rean's own mom are all aware Elise is in love with him and encourage her to pursue this, but then I remembered basically everyone encouraged Estelle like this too. And I guess I just wanted to say to the people that doompost that newfags will be filtered by the "incest" that I doubt it. I suspected it was mostly this but turns out it just is this that makes me think Rean x Elise is weird but Estelle x Joshua isn't: Rean thinks of Elise as his little first and foremost and treats her as such. When confronted with the reality she is in love with him he gets weirded out and is somewhat abrasive or in disbelief. Estelle and Joshua refer to each other as "family" and don't think of each other as brother and sister, at least not openly, and since both of them are in love neither is ever weirded out by the thought of the other person having feelings for them.
Rean being weirded out made the whole thing weird. Plus, GoT and other shit has incest and the West still eats it up. Hell, the very franchise that inspired this company's inception, Star Wars, dealt with incest.

>>531014934
People complain about cold steel tropes because they don’t want to admit their “precious sky games” have the tropes they dislike. Since they hate the cold steel characters and Rean then they are fine to shit on the incest trope. The harem is what throws people off so they don’t forgive cold steel for the same stuff Sky has because Sky has Estelle and canon romance. The trails fanbase is just full of hypocrites

why did they make zin fully playable for exactly 1 (one) battle in chapter 4 of daybreak and then never let you use him ever again, not even in the bracer route of chapter 5?

>>531015391
I think people rightly complain about Cold Steel having so much fluff and very little juicy bits with plot or character moments. Sky and Crossbell had more of those in spades.
And people can criticize that, just how people complain about the atrocious pacing of Calvard and it's non-developed characters.

How do I stop seething about Claire

>13 games
>no canon oneshota
shit series.

>>531014934
they gave rean the overprotective brother trope which makes it more of a familial connection.
Joshua was basically like estelle's next neighbor

>>531015520
look at all that ys 9

>>531015632
oh no I wasnt talking about story and plot I was responding to the person who mentioned about the incest relationship and how new people will react to it. Im talking about the hypocrisy of the incest tropes from sky fans and cold steel haters

>>531015763
idk man, what about her makes you seethe?

>>531015883
Where were these from?

>>531015943
What the writing team did to her. It just ain't right.

>>531015943
that cs didnt end with her head on a spike

Sky FC was nearly all padding, except for like.. the last two chapters

>>531015808
Hakuleg continues to be based.

>>531017351
Reanafemanon?

Cute and canon!

>>531015848
>>531015391
I'm the guy you responded to orginally.
I dislike Elise because her character is shit. Aside from it being muh Rean, they tried to give her something by making her student council president in CS3, and all that did was open an avenue for Musse's teasing to sting more since she is her kouhai.
Estelle and Joshua, Rean himself - they are all actual characters. Elise seems to just be there to check incest off of Rean's harem list. It's not that the nature of their relationship is incestous that makes it bad, it is Elise herself.

>>531017748
Yes?

Post the Laura x Fie gif

>>531017351
>>531018019
>reanasis schlicks to towa molesting shota rean
So even that gets you creamy...

>>531018019
Are you self-inserting as Towa and fantasizing about molesting Shota Rean or are you self-inserting as Rean(a) and fantasizing about getting molested by Towa?

Van is just Rean but he swept his bangs in the opposite direction and got a haircut.

>>531014934
Its about how much someone can head cannon around something or if its pointed out to them by someone. People look at game of thrones and think its just historically accurate and no one would enjoy this. Its the same way as how someone can think that an actor doesnt like attention. I personally think that it will come down to how youtubers and the like treat it if they tell people to be mad or not.

>non buynary voices Mare in the d*b

>>531014602
If people talked more about JK and fetishes everything would be saved

>>531018234
Mmm epic

>>531019570
We should ask Reanasis about her fetishes

>>531019570
I'm a hypocrite cause I hate rean. But a Van x Agnes x Elaine threesome would be godlike

you've asked about them plenty already

>>531019750
This except Van x Schizuna x Elaine while Anus watches

>>531014934
I mean I don’t think the Schwarzers hoping for Rean x Elise is all bad considering the politics in Erebonia and them knowing 100% he’d treat her right. Besides that most take umbrage with Elise cause she simply doesn’t have much besides her attraction to step-bro until like Reverie.

>>531014934
>When confronted with the reality she is in love with him he gets weirded out and is somewhat abrasive or in disbelief
It seems when he asks her if she's joking it's more to gauge if she's not just trolling him if you continue reading the lines

Elise deserved better than what Falcom gave her

>>531020284
Same for many characters, but Elise is nothing more than a construction paper cutout of a character

>>531020372
And she still deserved better

>>531020434
true, she deserves to be my wife

What a devoted sister, haha... wants the best for her little sis

>>531020643
do they ever swap cum?

Haha... Reana shares everything with her little sis, of course

>>531020935
I can't believe they both got pregnant by the same guy...

>>531019987
isnt it based on the culture in asian countries of when a step brother is adopted as an adult with the intent to marry the daughter of the one adopting the stepson?

what would be adol powerlevel if he appeared in trails?

>>531022535
worse than aaron

>>531022535
he wouldnt get god given powers for free so 0

>>531013148 (OP)
Cute OP. Emma got lucky, I want Fie to hug me like this too.

>>531022535
I think he didn't have anything given to him in lacrimosa, right? The skills he had there put him in divine blade+ easily. He launches some kamehamehas out of his sword casually.

>>531019750
Jk and oneesan battling is cute they should both be treated the same by Van

>>531023970
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-mgAAPHuYM

>>531023970
>He launches some kamehamehas out of his sword casually.
Doesn't Aaron have some kind of sword beam?

How's the MTL patch for Kai?

>>531028406
Only a small portion of NPCs are MTL, the rest is human translated. It's perfectly fine.

anons, i just had the most terrifying dream. i was dreaming of a scene of swin and agnes sneaking into a concentration camp of immigrants. they find their way into the holding cells, and see the immigrants. agnes gets approached by cute adorable immigrant kids, and they hug her. she faints from cuteness overload. swin tried to wake her up, but accidently gropes her chest. agnes does the angry smile face at him, and proceed to circular kick him. but this is a falcom game so the camera slowmo during the kick showing her panties, and you can also see that she has a penis. i woke up terrified at the idea that agnes is a tranny. am i a schizo? what meds do i take to forget?

>>531013303
Fie got some muscle on those cheeks

You will suck Agnes' tranny cock in your next dream. Van will give you a thumbs-up when she finishes in your mouth, too.

>>531030339
Did you know NISA hired trannys to voice act the daybreak and reverie dub

/fg/ is tranny coded

>>531032202
Needs her big throbbing bulge

Joshua, or Joshy, has a craft called Evil Eye, called Jashi, in Japanese.

I'd suck Agnès' cock

>>531034452
She even got the canon butt crack

How big Cocknes is?

>>531016097
I mean, in CS 1 and 2 she was a secondary character at best and by 3 onwards she is a tertiary one. Even Millium who is Jusis' love interest and part of class VII, never really explains why at the end of 3 she fights yet, is perfectly willing to sacrifice herself for you, then in IV despite being an Ironblood and having tried to stop you in the Gral of Erebos, she never attempts to help the Iron Bloods again.
Everyone but Rufus got fucked over from the Daddy Issues Squad.
>>531016201
Haha...

I wish Simmons was in love with Kiseki as he is with Xenoblade.

I cant believe NISA made him start with CS3 back in the day. Fucking oath.

>>531035297
You really couldn’t figure out why Millium sacrificed herself?

Van's final episode

>>531035515
No, I am saying nothing she did in 3 made sense. If you are willing to die for Rean and Altina, why fight them?
Why support the Ironbloods basically from CS 1-3 and then in 4 it's just
>haha, nice to see you gramps
I like Millium as a character but none of what she does makes much sense. All the Iron Bloods are like that.

>>531036073
Both class 7 and the ironbloods want the same thing, to reforge the great one and destroy it. That’s why Millium is like that towards the ironbloods in cs4. It’s bittersweet it had to come to these methods in order to destroy the great one

>>531036203
Do they? How could they if to know that they'd have to know about the Rivarlies and the fact Osborne is an awakener, which would mean knowing why he didn't die when he was shot in the heart because he gave it to Rean, which is like the whole riddle thing he told the Ironbloods to solve. Rufus in IV wants enough power to win the Rivarlies and surpass Osborne.

>>531036423
End of cs3 the ironbloods figure it out Rufus says to the gang when they fight him in gral that “now that we know the truth we can’t avoid it” or something like that. They basically have to follow the black records or else a harsher fate will come. Rufus pretty much is still following the plan he wants to surpass Osborne by winning the rivalries which is still what they want. It’s knocking 2 birds with one stone

>>531036653
But then if Millium wanted what the Ironbloods wanted that means she would have wanted Osborne to win because then they'd know he's pulling a Lelouch, and it would also mean she'd want Rean to die in the Rivalries

>>531037090
Rean doesn’t die if he loses the rivalries

>>531037196
I though he said something about being kept alive as a Sacrifice or something, which was also why he went full blanco the entire game.

>>531037592
So pretty much if Rean chooses not to participate in the rivalries then we will go out of control and become the ogre thing that he was in fragments chapter and fight the rivalries as a feral beast. Rean doesn’t want that he wants to save the world from the great one and make up for him starting the twilight. The perma white hair is because the ogre power went full out of control release in the end of cs3. All the power that he bottled up and tried to restrain throughout the cs3 journey has come out cashing his look to be perma ogre look which his his white hair and red eyes

>>531036073
If you want to talk about motivations that don't make sense, let's talk about Sharon.
Her reasoning for serving Irina, and then leaving her, and then joining her again is the most artificial bullshit ever. It's like there some kind of blood pact guiding her actions.

>>531047030
I'm excited to see it flop

>>531047030
the og looks incredible on the switch1. i kinda believe them when they say it can go up to 120fps in this one

Just finished Ys Seven. It's so weird how the game goes from damage-spongey bosses and enemies to absolutely trivial paper bags the moment you get your 80SP skills. The first few bosses took me ~10 minutes to clear but the penultimate boss took maybe 3-4 with Pentagram spam. That final boss was crazy cool if a little underwhelming in terms of difficulty. Overall the first half of the game was quite bad but really picked up in the second half. Gonna start on Memories of Celceta after a short break.

love renny

>>531050939
As did hundreds of old pedophiles

When you think about Daybreak and how it predicted our life today with AI and Immigration, its very impressive

Is Kondo the new Kojima?

(RAUGHS)

>>531047030
I only play Kiseki

>>531049489
Love Ys Sebun, Memories is sadly pretty forgettable. It gets a fair bit of hate but there’s really nothing special or memorable (heh) about it, some of the lore is cool I guess.

Why /v/ lied to me this general had a sexy Korean girl posting pics...
Finished the prologue of Cold Steel 2 today btw. Based witch.

Attention: Kondo will get a 50 million yen bonus for each Switch 2 Horizon LE sold

>>531059375

Now that Kato is gone how will this affect falcom? Should we expect any improvements?

Kondo will make Kai 2 the best game in the series screenshot this

>>531062316

>>531062316

>>531062316
I'm not a pessimist so I believe Kai 2 could be amazing as fuuuuuck however I'm still pirating it at the end.

Sex with Elaine's mom

>>531066902

These conversations are so fucking tiring

>>531068436
What do you mean?

Every game in this series has to have multiple conversations of "haha women sure are smitten by our main guy despite him acting like a meek fuckboy who rejects everyone because muh inner demon hurts people around me (it doesn't) or some shit"

Refunded the LE and bought the Steam CLE version... how did I do?

>>531085394
idk, CLE doesn't have durante so you probably downgraded

>>531083594
nah chinkie keep your ai slop to urself

>>531085394
Downgrade.

Are there any noticable differences between the PS5 and PS4 versions of Cold Steel 4?

>>531086973
You get the DLC for free. Sharper image quality. Unfortunately it has frame stutters and I think it was only Randy that had a weird issue where the audio desyncs for a bit when you cast an art as him. I think that's it.

>>531083486
Yes, that's why I'm asking
Post proofs of creamy cunt

>>531087417
Wait the PS5 version has frame stutters?

Hi Reanasis

>>531088154
Yeah. NISA did a shit job at porting it. Or Falcom at developing it. Idk anymore.
The worst has been Reverie, still has frame stutters and sometimes models disappear and on the menu screen the audio will suddenly be silent for a 1 second or 2.

>>531085394
Yo get to play earlier and you get a better translation for the game if you prefer jp voice

>>531091189
NISA or rather durante only do PC ports. They did switch ports of zero and azure, but not the ps4 version. Switch 2 version of Kai might be handled by durante and his tho.

>>531091785
Before buying them I was looking at videos about them and only like 3 dudes made them and one mentioned this being ported by NISA. But yeah, whoever ported them did a pretty shit job. Although it hasn't been utterly immersion breaking but I am letdown these games aren't a locked 60, or even 120, fps on next gen consoles

>>531089790
Have you ever had DP?

I just did the daydream of Schera and Olivier looking for the dress. Probably the best daydream yet. Felt my eyes swell up with tears...I have been oblivious to how attached I got to some of these characters. Hasn't even been 2 years since I started the series.

>>531085394
bad decision

>>531092283
PS4 couldn't handle stable 30fps for Kuro.... falcom are just that bad at porting

>>531085394
Of Kai? Idk, chink port isn't THAT bad, but it's somewhat buggy and there's not a lot of settings. Either way I wouldn't waste my money on LE or CLE ports.

>>531085394
are you actually retarded?

>>531085394
idc about LE but why would you get the shitty ching chong port instead of the durante port coming on January

>>531094538
The PS5 version also has some weird slowdowns, like when you go to the kitchen in Van's office

>>531094538
>>531096559
Could be budget shit. Even something as high profile as metaphor doesn't run at a locked 60 and it's not like that game is super intensive. But then shit like P3R is a locked 60fps...

>Kuro 2: Murder is based.
>Kai: Murder used to be based but after I joined Ouroboros for 5 months, murder became not based.
Redeeming a character is very easy. you just do it.

>>531099748
That redemption has to come with some consequence. Otherwise it doesn't work. And I dunno if Kondo felt like they were too trigger happy with killing people in Sky but this series has long been in need of more dire consequences for its villains.

>>531099748
she wasn't as bloodthirsty as ixs, but yeah it would work better if she started changing her ways after spending time with van and co.

>ASO
go back brownoid subhuman nigger

>>531106007
Kai didn't even do well in Japan despite your incel self insert Rean being included in the game, so clearly people aren't playing for your CS shitters either. Agnes also beat the sloppa cumdoll and Reanflop in the polls lmao

>>531107372
Oh yeah that's a big red flag, only fagcord trannies and r*dditors refer to spriggans like that.

Predict Horizon peak on steam
CLE version had 1398 players
CLE Kuro 2 had 1071
Daybreak 2 had 1835
So I think it might get back up a bit due to memberberries hype, so around 2k

>>531107602
Nta, I mean I should hope Agnes won after all the screen time and plot she had in the game

>>531095203
Sorry, didn't specify. It was the PS4 LE.

>>531110569
i guess it's better, i really don't understand people who play on consoles with capped frame rate, lags and shitty anti aliasing, even my old rig (i7-4790 and gtx 970 which is roughly equivalent to ps4 pro) can handle durante's kuro ports on high profile settings 1080p with stable 70-100fps but i prefer playing with 2x msaa

>>531107602
Rean is only popular within the the falcom fanbase. The ones who will buy the games for him alone are already buying the games or are relatively few. Falcom or NISA are getting tricked by a loud minority in social media who screamed 'GOAT' whenever Rean is being promoted thinking it would translate to sales.

>>531114787
Well that's the thing, people who left after CS ended won't return just because Rean is back. 40% of the current kiseki fanbase are those who came from CS and didn't drop the series, 50% are the oldfags who played since sky, 10% are the newfags who started with kuro 1. The reason for Rean coming back is pretty simple, to sell more merch within the fanbase, which is why Altina is also back despite adding absolutely nothing to the plot.

>>531114787
you say loud minority when the character does well in polls a statistical way to determine character popularity from anon sources. but yes I think people knew that Rean wont bring hella sales. We will have to see if falcom keeps same class 7 members for kai 2 or if they will bring more

>>531107602
Kuro fans only care about the romance that will never get a conclusive ending. They don’t care about Van’s regurgitated and stagnant character arc just whatever their self-insert ends up with hence him being the only MC not topping his own arcs poll. It’s pretty sad Rean & especially Crow are in the top five when their screentime is significantly less and Kondo himself was adamant how much Rean wasn’t the MC, simply wasn’t his game to win.

>>531115880
Loud few is probably a better term. Kevin was brought back because the the fans keeps screaming about his return but that chatter didn't even translate to sales. He didn't do well in the polls. His return even made things worse since Van's content was chopped up for him. Same thing will happene to Anelace. Fans won't shut up about her but she returns there will be no improvement on sales.

>>531117251
sexxx

>>531117402
>Reantard reverts to polls when cornered

Nta but you sound butthurt. Face it your Hahaman self insert is losing relevancy. It's in the cold hard numbers. Van wasn't popular to begin with and the fans aren't denying that. Doesn't help when Falcom consistently sidelines him and the Calvard cast.

>>531117436
thats the irony about rean haters, they think Rean took spotlight from Van because of their bias but Kevin was the one that took a lot of what was originally supposed to be Van content such as the image of Van being at ruined Creil in some promo back in december/january of 2023/2024. Falcom just shouldnt have done the route or at least do the routes but make Vans route better paced or lessen the amount of grim garten floors and keep the routes

>>531118472
you sound butthurt that hes using the word "poll". If you really didnt give a shit about polls then you wouldnt have commented and tell him that hes butthurt. Sounds like you are pissed that Rean keeps getting higher than Van in polls. And btw, if you dont think Van isnt a self insert also then you clearly have no reading comprehension when playing Kai and its connect events with some of the women he talks to besides elaine and agnes

>renne and Harkwood were actually best buddies all along

epic

>>531119206
nta but i think you are a faggot that ran out of arguments when you use muh polls. means you can't argue anymore. no one ever starts a discussion or argument saying so and so isn't popular in the polls; using an objective thing to prove a subjective thing means you are low IQ ran out of things to say.

>>531119747
NTA, but when anons are deluded about who's popular and who's not they need to be reminded about what the Japanese like.

>Whoever you pick to ally with in daybreak 1 fucks off during the day cuz writing is hard
lol
lmao
Such a cool karma system

>>531119206
Not really. I couldn't care less about polls since Falcom fandom is relatively small, so the sample bias is lot more prevalent. Popular characters exists to bring sales. Rean can't bring in any sales anymore. So what's the point of the character besides pandering to his fanclub? In my humble opinion, unpopular but entertaining character > popular bland character.

>>531115382
>despite adding absolutely nothing to the plot.
It's impressive how Fie has been in every calvard game as literal background.

>>531119897
Yep. It's all about escapism. Escape from their shitty job. That's why high school is glorified so much there. It's the last time an average japanese man is free. CS was bound to be a success. I don't know why game companies just don't copy persona.. well copying it good. Tokyo Xanadu decent. Furyu has been copying it every year but keeps failing(Varley looks promising though).

>>531120515
you say "not really" yet you seethed when other used poll to talk about Rean and Van. Then you bring up sales. Why are you being hypocritical instead of actually explaining what about Kai was entertaining for you or which character in Kai was entertaining for you instead of the "bland popular character" you hate so much. Actually stick by your words and "not care less about polls" and explain that

>>531119897
You are both at odds because I don't think you can claim Rean is that popular without seeing a bump in sales, and that other guy has to admit Rean is the most popular MC to make that point, but to be fair he doesn't care. And I'm with him that pollshit is often irrelevant. You guys are so tribalistic, yes EVERYONE, because you think of the people here not as fans of Kiseki, but as fans of just a particular arc.
And again, if you cared about numbers and popularity this much you'd play something. Comes off as mental illness at best and stupidity at worst.

lol every single time someone doesnt lick reans ass and call him le goat this thread has a meltdown over it

>>531121109
hopefully furyu stops using NISA for localization

>>531117402
I mean... I do want to see Van and other spriggans' character arc to finally start moving somewhere, but falcom keeps delaying it for the last game and what we got are 2 games filled with nothing but filler that barely moved whatever was already built-up in Kuro 1. It wouldn't be a problem if Calvard was 2 or 3 games at max, but right now i just don't really have high expectations for anything. Harem posting is the only thing we can more or less have fun talking about, because I have no idea where'd they go with Van's character arc. Whether he'll accept muh demons, becomes unhinged after Kai ending or something else I can't really tell, because there's literally zero build-up or foreshadowing in Kai. When the things finally started moving and getting interesting the game ended asking us to wait for Van's final episode. No wonder people start getting bored of spriggans, because frankly falcom just doesn't give them anything interesting to work with. They had a strong start with Kuro 1 and then it just fall apart because Takeiri is a shit writer and Kusano isn't directing anymore, leaving us with a fucking mess that progressively gets people more frustrated with the series.

>>531099748
Boys should spank girls girls shouldn’t spank boys I reject this ok principle

>>531117402
>Kuro fans only care about the romance
Pretty much. But it is to be expected singe they went full gooner with Calvard.

>>531122139
skyfags are pissed because people liked Rean and the harem that they didnt like(the canon romance and estelle). They hate that it does well and sells and since they dont want to admit that people can like cold steel for writing likes its objective that its bad they will come with another excuse why people like it such as self insert or harem is the only reason people think cs is popular instead of liking both that or the writing or character arcs.

CSfags are pissed because skyfags and crossbellfags are the worlds biggest hypocrites when it comes to them blaming CS for the bad tropes when sky and crossbell did it too.

But the problem is CSfags need to learn its ok for people to not like the arc as well. But sky and crossbell fags need to learn that it is humanely possible for people to like CS without them wanting to shit in your cereal

>>531122096
>No u

I accept your concession

>>531122318
I have a question for anons? Is the main director the one that decides which ost plays in certain scenes or dungeons or is there like a separate sound director for that? Because in Kai the music was fine but the direction of it was weird. Like they played kevins hype theme when he was going to "kill" hamilton at creil mountain. Or in future anchorville mayors city hall, they should have kept the violin theme playing while in combat too not just stopping it. In CS4 and CS3 and kuro 1 I swear the music direction was better in what songs to play in dungeons and the contrinuation of music from that dungeon to battles

>>531123085
vankid cant make arguments and explanations whats new. He will probably blame his stupidity on Rean like he does for everything else wrong with the series. He will also probably blame his wife cheating on him and getting an abortion on Rean too.

>>531122318
I think if it was just a 1 year wait then maybe it would have been better for kai 2. But then again dont you want the game to be developed a bit longer. You dont want another CS4 situation right?

>>531123320
Falcom has a sound director, so he should be the one deciding where to put OST in game. And everyone keeps dunking on him saying that he's a fucking clown.

>>531123642
what does it matter? kai 2 proved that falcom could have all the time in the world they need and they still will deliver a half baked game

>>531123757
kai 1 proved*

>>531123757
Kai 2 hasnt come out yet how do you know it will be half baked?

>>531123472
He's telling me what I feel. What's an argument for that lol? It's literally a no u argument. I really couldn't care less about polls. What's true however is Reanspics bringing up polls when they are cornered.

>>531123757
nevermind you said kai 1. I dont think its half baked. I think the pacing is horrendous. Also grim garten had too many floors. But I think the game did what it needed to. There are far worse trails games than kai but you stuck around despite that right?

>>531123663
I see. I mean I dont believe the sound directing/placement is horrible in Kai. I just thought that it was worse than CS3, CS4, and kuro 1. So I was thinking since kusano left after kuro 1 it was related to that. But I guess the sound director had an off day or something. Hopefully Kai 2 he or she redeems themselves

>>531124076
The cold hard reality of polls will always BTFO you.

>>531124129
It does feel like falcom came up with the ending first and then decided to fill with whatever they can. Didn't Kai events happen in a spawn of 3 days? But it felt like an eternity due to all the 4spgs and side activities. Maybe the time around Van actually starts moving slower because I have no explanation on how he manages to solve all 4spgs and participate in all connect events, watch movies and update his food blog.

>>531124129
it is pretty half baked
>literally a single new town 3 entire games into the arc
>only half of the crafts were actually redone
>tons of characters never even got 2nd scrafts... 3 games into an arc
>still haven't added a single new quartz since kuro 1 and i think they've added like 2 shard skills at most
>grim garten is just reskinned marchen garten
>the "episodes" are all like a minute long each and barely do anything to meaningfully flesh out their subject matter
>tons of the side quests are just repeats of shit you've seen 100 times like "help i got scammed!!!!"
for a 3rd game in an arc it's insulting how little kai did
the game literally only exists just for the ending to happen and they didn't care about anything else

>>531122885
Dude I don't think people dislike CS because it has anime tropes, even if more pronounced or ubiquitous. I think people don't think the writing was as tight as it was with Sky, which people love mostly due to character moments, and Crossbell which isn't my favorite but I think the writing is the best it has been in the series.
I think this admonish you give to CSfags, and all fans honestly, should also apply to you; CS is not my favorite arc and it has nothing to do with anime tropes being used or reused.

nadia rizz

>>531124347
Well, the base argument is Rean losing popularity. Polls even support that since Agnes beats him now.

>>531124706
Yeah Idk why they insisted on the 3 day thing. Should have been like a week. I guess they were trying to build tension but what does it matter when each day lasts an eternity anyway? It just makes it ridiculous how much shit they cram into each day.

>>531124706
Trust me, its because unlike the other arcs, falcom decided to introduce grim garten marchen garten. Now by themselves its not that long thats why reverie corridor works in reverie. However when you combine those with sidequests and connect events then the pacing becomes pretty bad. Now I will admit the simeon and ulrica floors are fine because they are new characters but the floors with walter, harwood, jolda and letty were not needed and did not do much. They should have reduced the floors to 5 or 6 instead of having 9 floors. Van sidequests in Act 1 could have been reduced by 1 also in both parts. I think kai is a very good game but it also has the worst pacing in the series even more than CS4 and CS2

Joshua do I look pretty

>>531124739
I will admit the writing for CS is not as tight as sky fair enough. However did you play CS1 and CS3 and think the character moments were not there or bad? those games did a lot for their casts in the setting they are in. CS2 and CS4 ill admit did a terrible job for most characters I cant defend those games even though Im one of 3 people on earth who liked CS2.

And Im saying that sky people are hypocrites about the tropes Im not talking about you specifically im calling out on the hypocrisy the fandom does sometimes. Not necessarily you as an individual.

But I do maintain that skyfags and crossbellfags do fail to understand that people can like CS or think its alrite. and that csfags dont take criticism well

It's funny how /fg/ still doesn't understand how popularity polls work. People will just vote for their favourite characters no matter what they'll do in the game. Which is the reason why Crow is in the 4th place because he has a huge fujo following. Van being in the 6th place indicates that he still has a decent fanbase from Kuro 1 days and I guess that's the most Vanfags can really hope for since falcom doesn't really wank him or anything, it's actually quite the opposite.

>>531125468
Why do people not think Van didnt get anything in Kai. Theres so many scenes where you learn more about his past with the cult and his adopted father and then the advice he gives to jolda,jeffrey and the pretend date with agnes. Are people making judgements based on some speed run stream they watched on release day?

>>531125110
Blockstelle...

>>531125468
I really don't get Falcoms plan with Van. Kondo bitches about how he's not popular but how could he be? Falcom completely humiliated him in Kuro 2 and constantly made him look like a fucking idiot and Kai did almost nothing with him that people actually want to see. People are just tired of being sequel baited and then nothing happening. He's the protagonist who feels the least like a protagonist so far. Why is it such a crime for them to actually let him do actual protagonist things? Van is a character who should have been the MC for a one off game like 3rd or Reverie if this is how they're going to approach it. You need a protagonist that does more that just crack jokes and tell people to "b themselves" and is more involved in the actual plot if you want 4 games to rest on his shoulders.

>>531125715
Because fans don't really care about that. They want to see the protagonist doing something cool and frankly Van is indeed irrelevant in the great scheme of things because the demon lord plot line is ignored for 2 games straight leaving Van with nothing. I mean falcom could've give something like trying to improve his combat ability by training in kunlun with Bergard, but most of Van's route is 4spgs filler garbage.
>Theres so many scenes where you learn more about his past with the cult and his adopted father and then the advice he gives to jolda,jeffrey and the pretend date with agnes
See that's where you're wrong, jrpg fans (japs, chinks) are extremely superficial, no one cares about that shit. There's a reason why Raen's route is the most well received in Japan. Nobody fucking cares about Jeffrey lol. Jolda chapter was cute which is why people liked her enough to vote.

>>531124881
We would need a general poll to gauge that, as Rean is a guest in Agnes' arc he was never going to get the top spot as polls centered about specific games tend to be a whole lot more reactionary. It's pretty bad how high up he got in terms of it showing how weak Calvard's cast is. For example, Tio was 29th in CS4's poll but was actually the 9th most popular Kiseki character at the time.

>>531126304
reans route is the most well received because they like Rean and Class 7. japs love romance and waifus Van gets to spend time with two of them (agnes and jolda) and has an amazing connect event with another waifu(elaine). Van does hang out with waifus in Kai dude. Van was the one that gave yun ka fai the hint of the remnants that he couldnt figure out despite having an all seeing eye. Your treating kai like a payoff game when its clearly a setup game and set ups Van and arkride solutions really well for kai 2

>>531124881
I think the argument is that it’s a rat race between Agnes & Elaine on who the true ‘heroine’ is with both sides wanting to be vindicated. Falcom clearly bases their decisions around what’s popular so both parties have reason to take these polls more seriously. Like look at Lloyd’s placement in CS4, despite having more importance, screentime & MC privilege than Elaine he scored outside the top ten. The Kuro polls are purely ship dominated with small outliers

>>531126708
surprised laura scored high on any poll. Alisa losing to Atina!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! falcom forgot about Alisa but I wont!!! She will be in Kai 2(coping)

>>531126249
That's what you should ask Kondo, not me, because I have no idea what's going on in his head. Or maybe he just doesn't care anymore.
Here's his TGS interview

>4Gamer: This time, those who answered the questionnaire at the TGS venue were given a character card of one of the characters from "Kai no Kiseki" - Van, Elaine, Rean, or Agnes - as a gift, but I heard that Rean and Agnes were particularly popular.

>Kondo: There are a lot of people who like Van, but rather than "wanting goods," they think "it would be nice to have someone like this by my side," and he's like a reliable older brother, so I'm interested to hear the opinions of those who chose Van's business card.

>4Gamer: So you have the impression that he's not a typical favorite character?

>Kondo: I think Rean's popularity is partly because he's handsome, but I think it's because he's been the main character for four consecutive games, so many people have known him for a long time. Personally, when I play "Kiseki no Kiseki" and Rean appears, I get excited just by that. He's been portrayed throughout half of his life, from entering high school, graduating, becoming an instructor, and training his juniors... so he's a character who gets into a terrible experience every time, and the game ends, and then continues on to the next game (laughs).

>4Gamer: How do you analyze Agnes' popularity?

>Kondo: Agnes has been in the spotlight in many places this time, and she plays a big role in the game, so I think she's become popular. Up until now, we've been pushing her as a heroine, but she didn't become as popular as we thought she would. So I was happy to hear that she was popular this time.

>>531126708
oh god gaius isnt on there. I mean yea that makes sense CS4 only gave him one bonding event and then one time hes required to go when you fight rutger but even then he has nothing personal with him lmao. Hes like the dudley of the series

>>531126708
>The Kuro polls are purely ship dominated with small outliers
Same with CS4.

>judith ackshually knew Rixia and was her rival
Forced as fuck, lmao

>>531125407
Idk dude, all I'm saying is I don't think I have seen many people complain or denounce Cold Steel just for anime tropes being used. At least not here.
As for character moments, I think at least every CS game has some, like Rean talking with Jusis at night and with Alisa under the stars in 1, I think 2 has a great moment between Rean and Alfin (should have been Elise), Rean talking to Osborne and Eugent in 3 was good - to name some. But I don't think they reach the highs of 2 previous arcs, no. Or even some of the highs of the Calvard arc. I think the Calvard arc has the least special character moments but when they do happen they knock it out of the park.

>>531127227
HEY!!! they are both hot af and because of that we got to see judith tits and rixia tits collide when they hugged!!!!! dont you dare say its forced there was a lot of character development!!!!

>>531127096
Fujos already know they won. CS4 is basically the Rean & Crow show while C7 & others cheer from the sidelines.

>>531126916
>retarded faggot

Van only scored first in the male only popularity poll which is in line with Kai poll as well since he's the only male character from Calvard arc who got in top 10.

>>531127482
fuck off tourist

>>531089790
kuhhhh your abit creamy to be sure but i like it...

>>531126591
>weak Calvard's cast is

It's a chicken and egg situation. Are they unpopular because don't get enough screentime or they don't have screentime because they're unpopular. Kuro 1 had great start. Kuro 2 fumbled then Kai continues to sideline the Kuro cast. Look how popular Elaine is even though she's sidelined. Imo, Kuro cast didn't have a fair shot, instead focusing on shitty characters like Swin and Nadis. Agnes shoot up in popularity because she was given something to do.

>>531127298
once again, my point isnt just about tropes its about skytards thinking that it isnt possible for someone to like cold steel because of the character or plot because they didnt think it was good. They think its objectively bad so when someone else likes cold steel they think its only because of self insert and harems or highschool. no other reason.

>>531127750
they get plenty of screentime, falcom just does NOTHING with it

>>531127836
Cold Shit has nothing aside form self insert shit, harem shit and high school shit.

>>531127967
point proven

>>531127545
>fuck off tourist
says the tourist. being an alisanigger is the biggest red flag

>>531127750
nadia and swin having a lot of focus and screen time is not because of popularity or fans, its because the new writers at falcom themselves love those characters and their tropes and humor

>>531127362
>judith tits and rixia tits collide when they hugged!!!!!
they just clipped lmao
I can't believe this is what they came up with to give Rixia something to say, goddamn.

>>531127851
Yeah you can say that too. Van was the POV character in Kuro 2 but he gets nothing in terms of development. Shame since being a D:G cult survivor is a solid enough premise that you can explore. We literally go to an island of D:G cult hideout, and we fucking focus on Renne. Quatre being left out in the whole Hamilton ordeal and Judith being left out in the Grimcatz origin reveal are prime examples of the Kuro cast being sidelined.

>>531127750
They've arguably had too much screentime.

>>531128232
they just clipped? hmmmmmm ill take it. I guess falcom has to keep things vague incase people are starting with kuro 1 as first trails game or they dont want to confuse fans too much if they dont remember stuff from crossbell or they didnt want to take up too much game time on rixia

>>531127851
pretty much, aaron and taikun shit got dropped, feri is something about being a fire priestess but it just doesn't move anywhere etc. as i said not a single plot point or character arc (aside from agnes) has move anywhere
>>531127750
>Look how popular Elaine is even though she's sidelined
same with shiziuna desu, she has a great design and is a waifu material, some reanfags say that shizuna is riding on rean's popularit but it's just straight cope after shizuna became vanbrained, her merch will still sell like crazy and people would like to romance her
agnes did get more popular through an actual plot involvement and wanking, so indeed this method can work on certain characters, for example if they'll finally decide to give van a spotlight or wank him hard enough i can see him getting in top 3, doubt he'll ever dethrone rean at this point but still

>>531127750
People generally loved the picnic squad after Hajimari and they got the shortest limelight of any group in Kiseki. The problem with Van’s group (outside Agnes) is stagnation after Kuro1, Everything is in limbo for whatever reason.

>>531089790
i wish i could be your toilet paper

>>531128156
Kill those nepo babies. Offscreen please.

>>531128773
>The whores knew each other
kekaroo

>>531128769
Kondo said the writing team loved writing them so much they expanded their roles in Kuro 2. Originally they were just a side characters without their own dedicated chapters.

>>531129228
falcom loves writing swin and nadia because they can just write the same exact scene over and over, an ai could do it and probably already does

>>531128156
>the new writers at falcom themselves love those characters
It explains a lot about the quality of calvard

>>531128552
Shizuna's popular because of her design yes. Also katanawank. Rean fans also expected her to become Reanbrained once they have a rematch so that might something with her popularity as well.

>>531128668
the spriggans will all get their payoffs but because kuro 2 and kai didn't actually build on kuro 1 it's just not gonna feel satisfying at all
like you had setup -> 2 games of nothing -> payoff instead of kuro 2 and kai actually building on that setup

>>531127362
Will Van and Lloyd hug each other with their cock and balls colliding?

>>531129228
Falcom just ended up abusing the whole route thing. It works in hajimari because theres equal screen time in route and theres no bonding events or quests to pad it out but kuro 2 and kai it feels like theres no purpose other than to tell a story concurrently. they get rid of the route stuff in kuro 2 at intermission anyhow

>>531130024
I mean if your into that sure. Im sure fujo fans might. Plus Van is going to pissed at lloyd and might punch his nutsack instead because of not taking ishmelga reans warning about laegarn causing agnes to sacrifice herself for hamiltons plan at the end of kai

Is Elie the only one who could match to Rixia's size?
>but Rixia in Kuro is bigger
Well Elie in Kuro might be bigger too. What then?

>>531129917
>Rean fans also expected her to become Reanbrained once they have a rematch
partially, like i said shizuna can stand on her own even without the reanfags, you should've seen how chinks started raging after shizuna connect event saying that she's a love brained trash and stole her popularity from rean, meanwhile reanfags are gonna vote for rean anyway lol
japs are less toxic thoughever

Trails of Cum Running Down Agnès' Bare Chest

>>531130274
and they say reanfags are the only self inserters. Vankids like you for sure want to self insert into Van and romance shizuna huh?

>>531130412
what are you on about tranny? i didn't say anything about van or romance

Where is Eliesis? I miss her big NEET tits

>>531130494
you clearly seem salty that Reanfags wanted rean to get with shizuna so maybe your self insert van could get her which is according to your agenda. Otherwise why would you care if rean gets with shizuna or van? if you dont care about romance you wouldnt care if reanfags are upset rean couldnt be with shizuna

I want eliesis to post her feet

>Shizuna has the best design in Kuro 1
>can only play as her during a short section if you choose to side with her

Bravo Falcom.

>>531130723
i just described what i read on baidu or other forums you dumb fucking tranny
if you want to talk about van being a self-insert or not, then he clearly is, idk where did you trannyfied brain got the idea that van isn't a self-insert, he gets waifu teased with other girls, waifus will obviosly self-insert into van on that matter
you fucking retarded newfags should stop arguing over things you have no idea about, go back to your "vankid" boogeyman posting because you clearly can't offer anything of the value in here anyway

>>531131135
holy overreaction vankid I didnt think your fav mc not getting high up the popularity polls would upset you this much my b

>>531131250
case in point
i accept your concession

>>531131320
if you wanna be with shizuna badly instead of Rean just buy her figure and start fapping to it so its like shes there by your side vankid you can self insert that way

>>531130912
She has more screentime in Kuro 2 and Kai to a lesser extent, but she's still barely relevant to the main story.

>>531130912
character design goes a long way.

>>531130039
they forgot what made the routes a good thing in the first place and didnt overpad hajimari now for kai its waaay too padded

>Haha, Shizuna is a GOOD character, fucking reanspics
>She's in VAN'S harem and bases most of her personality around obsessing over VAN, not REAN! 1000 times better!
fucking Kusoeaters are something else

>>531131705
more screentime in kuro 2 is due to popularity from kuro 1. She would have gotten it anyways but she got waaay more in it because of kuro 1 popularity

>>531131865
cs haters are the biggest hypocrites in the fandom. They are so quick to deny calvard arc has the same trappings and methods as CS but because they like Vans humor and liking sweets they will anything to make it seem like its nothing like CS

>>531131865
Guess reanspics still haven't recovered huh...

>>531132092
The only reason they defend Calvard is because it's not CS.
It doesn't matter if a game is exactly like CS, or even worse than CS, it's fine because it's not CS and it's not Rean.
It's what happens when you base your personality around hating Rean.

>>531132238
Bring Randy to Kai make it great again!!!!

>>531130723
Nta but Shizuna being Van brained and basically choosing Van over Rean in Kai is one the few instances that Reantards gets humbled and Falcom not pandering. It's less about shipping but getting Reantards who seriously thought Shizuna will be in his orbit receiving an L.

>>531132238
What do "Reanspics" have to recover from? Having objectively the peak selling arc? Watching as the arc of the people that hate them falls into obscurity and garbage sales?
imagine being NISA, releasing two Daybreak games in a year and still posting a sales downturn from fucking Reverie.

>>531015391
>>531014934
I always love how Cold Steel fags bring up Elise to try and defend their series.
Elise.
Lmfao.
A contender for the worst character in the series.

>>531132395
>Falcom isn't pandering because they pandered to MY self-insert instead of muh reanspics!!!

>>531132406
>gets cornered
>brings up sales
kek every fucking time

>>531132436
I don’t think the defense was about her as a character it was just about the step brother and step sister trope.

>>531132638
>"LOL UR HAVING A MELTY!!!!11 XDDDD"
>cornered

>>531132406
>What do "Reanspics" have to recover from?
The latter half of their arc being dogshit that's universally considered to have heralded the decline of the series?
>but it sold well!
Yes, that's how it works. People still bought them because the games up until that point had been good. After buying and playing them, players realize there was a steep decline in quality and slowly stopped buying. Some people gave Falcom a second or third chance, but sales have been steadily declining which lines up perfectly.

>>531132649
Exactly. It's still using her and it's still hilarious. Like compare the fucking relationship between Rean and Elise which is literally just light novel harem shit with the black haired little sister pining over her onee-chan compared to the entire relationship of Estelle/Joshua.
It's just so funny to think about. Cold Steel fags are so retarded.

>>531132436
Those two posts you responded to just talked about incest not about Elise or Estelle’s character?

>>531132820
Ummm ok? Just sounds like you have some unhealthy overreaction to people mentioning Elise’s name it’s just for discussion lol

Reminder that Reanspic melty started because of Shizuna AGAIN!
All these years of shitposting about Rean stealing Shizuna are going to waste haha....

>>531132775
And yet Daybreak can never receive better ratings from players than Cold Steel. Only journalists like it better, lmao

>>531133056
Rean should go after a more attractive women like Judith or rixia. Shizuna is overrated

haha... i came here to make memes but reansissies are blowing their gaskets about shizuna again...

>>531133159
Nta, Don’t journalists like all the arcs including cs?

>>531132576
If Van is being pandered to, he wouldn't get sidelined or gift some of his plotline to another character. Shizuna is a Calvard cast. It's to be expected that she will have more interactions with Van. So her chances of developing feelings isn't too much of a stretch. Reantards on the other hand headcanon the Rean Shizuna dynamic to the moon from a single interaction in Reverie.

>>531133432
Let me ask you this then. Why does it bother you if Reantards ship him and Shizuna? You seem to not care who Shizuna gets with but it bothers you that people ship her and Rean? How does that make sense

> no no no you dont' get it
>so what if she has a hanging plot thread with Rean
>the important part is that she dumps is to she can take Van's penis inside of her!
>who actually cares about the story we care about Van's harem!
>which is a good thing unlike Rean's harem because he's Rean and we're unhinged about Rean.

>>531133159
>Daybreak on PSN 3.3k reviews with 4.76 rating
>Daybreak on steam 891 reviews with 93% positive rating
It seems in-line with CS games aside from the lesser amount of reviews on steam compared to CS3 and 4.

Obsessed

>>531133698
Cs4 gets a lot of reviews and ratings because it’s an end of saga as well as it’s a polarizing game. It’s a game that’s in people’s top 3 but it’s also a game that’s in people’s bottom 3. That’s why there’s a lot of discussion in steam or other social media spaces.

>>531133619
NTA, but then why does it bother you if Vanfags ship him with Shizuna? It's all started with this post >>531130412
Vanfags didn't start this melty.

Quiero chupar la chucha de las femanon de aqui.

>>531133887
It’s not about being upset van fans ship him and Shizuna. That post was a response to Van fans being upset that Rean fans ship him and Shizuna. Rean fans don’t care if you ship Van and Shizuna together but you seem to be bothered that Rean fans ship Rean and Shizuna. My question is why does it upset you? But instead of answering your just repeating the question because you built your entire personality toward hating Rean and your upset that people like him and are shipping him with a character you like(Shizuna)

We've had to listen to people bitch about how Rean being a black hole made people, especially the female characters, unable to have their own plot thread that didn't circle around wanting his dick.
In Calvard, we literally have someone who abandons her plot thread to drool over Van's dick, but this is a good thing because.. uh.. because it happened in the Calvard arc and it was Van not Rean ok???????
This is the shit we have to deal with from Kusoeaters.

>>531134142
Trails fans are the biggest hypocrites in any social media of it. I feel bad that falcom has this kind of fanbase. It’s ok these hypocrites are the loud minority in every discord and they even escape Reddit to flock here because they got their feelings hurt from the downvotes

>>531134142
I do think falcoms decision about romance in Kai 2 will be depended how much they want to cater to the west. They know that Agnes romance is frowned upon so they either make Elaine canon or have a 4 way choice between Elaine Agnes and Shizuna

>noooo you can't say Van good Rean bad ok!?!?
>why? ....you just fucking can't kusoeater! Stop it! Respect Rean!!!
lmao

>>531134446
That's not the point. The point is that a lot of characters' personalities in Calvard arc is wanting Van's dick.

go play games

>>531134560
Rean outdid Van in a fucking Kai poll lmao, eat shit Vanjeet

>>531134885
>muh poll again
hahahahahaha

>>531134139
>Rean fans don’t care if you ship Van and Shizuna together but you seem to be bothered that Rean fans ship Rean and Shizuna
That's just straight up lie especially for the japs and chinks.
>My question is why does it upset you?
It doesn't really upset me, but when you reanpics getting a melty over it after years shitposting Rean x Shizuna, it does feel satisfying.
>But instead of answering your just repeating the question because you built your entire personality toward hating Rean and your upset that people like him and are shipping him with a character you like(Shizuna)
I don't care about Rean, i only dislike reanspics who're forcing their shit down everyone's throat but then they get the taste of their own medicine they keep playing a victim like a true 3rd worlders they are. At the end of the day I don't care about Rean x Shizuna posting anymore simply because it'll never gonna happen and reanspics themselves started realizing that. Van x Shizuna shippers have a solid foundation to ship them without bringing up retarded headcanons. To me it looks you're the one who's upset over this whole ordeal.

>>531134979
You don’t care about Van and Shizuna yet you care that they have a foundation and hate on Rean fans for shipping him? Sounds like you care dude. Your so upset that Rean fans do an innocent ship that means nothing yet you have this not care attitude like your point is objective and correct

>>531134571
Oh, well Kai 2 will make or break whether fans will I’ve or hate the arc. Only time will tell. I think it will be good the set up from Kai was really good

>>531032980
The deepest writing...

>>531134139
You're overcomplicating simple shit. It's a simple case of schadenfreude and Reanfags getting cucked for once. It has some element of arc and mc wars too. You don't get to alter history and pretend that Reanfags are above the Shizussy and cheered for him taking the MC spotlight in the hype cycle of Kai.

>>531135169
>Reanspic twisting my words yet again
It's like talking to a wall...

>>531135325
Who cheered for Rean to take mc spotlight? Falcom always said it was going to be mostly Van for Kai. Don’t get why your ranting about what Chinese players said in a falcom general composed of English speakers and pertending like they said the same shit as the Chinese

>>531134560
Reanfags - the most oppressed group

>>531134785
You know what would be fun? If I was playing a game but you teased me by getting me hard and sitting on my dick and moving enough to keep me hard but never enough to make me cum, and all the while I just kept playing my game. I think that would be pretty funny and interesting. Let's meet up and try it out. I think my game will be something simple like Super Mario World so it won't be impossible even with the distraction.

>>531135347
It clearly bothers you that some Rean fans ship Shizuna even when you don’t care about romance. You either care about it or don’t. No in between

>>531135621
What in the fuck are you talking about?

nah

>>531135325
pretty much this, you can just look at the archived threads from Kai trailer announcement
i remember when the route select menu was leaked reanpics thought that the lines on the routes were the route length thinking that rean has the longest route out of all 3 lol

>>531135952
>>531135325

So what Vankids can’t go one day without spewing how much better Van is than Rean and how he can cuss and make jokes and eats candy. Every Stan of a character is annoying as shit but it shouldn’t bother you this much just because they ship Rean and Shizuna it’s a nothing burger thing that you get too upset with

>>531135901
fym nah

nah tho

>>531136294
You're clearly upset because it's like the fifth time you reiterate that point lmao.

Reanjeets are still seething?

>>531136587
It’s the fact that anything related to Rean is a bad thing for you like you made your entire identity about seething over the character

Reanasis do you have a cute vagina?

>>531136416
cute retard

i have reanfag fatigue

>>531137041
You just know this was drawn by a woman

>>531137083
they've built their entire existence on worshipping rean, they won't go anywhere
i also noticed a lot of reanfags on r*eddit speak arabic...

>>531137041
>>531137525
Reanasis does this get you creamy?

>>531136862
Like you made everything about yourself about Rean and hating on Van? Aren't you the one forcing the Vankid meme?

>>531137723
>If this bitch won't shut the fuck up

>>531138039
Nobody is forcing it lmao
People keep using it because it keeps proving accurate

>>531138443
nta but we know you are the only guy saying "vankid" on a near daily basis ITT lmao. You are also some sad sack of shit that watches vtubers lol

>>531138039
I don’t get upset if people want to ship Van and Shizuna that’s the difference. Unlike you I can accept people liking different characters and different arcs. But you despise Rean fans from shipping him and Shizuna even if it’s harmless shipping like it’s some disease. I actually enjoy the calvard arc so far and enjoy Van and shizunas connect events in Kai. The difference is I don’t let a hate for something bother me like it does for you

>>531138879

Doubt that. Any hint of Rean criticism elicits a response from you and don't pretend otherwise. CStards somehow always gets upset when someone just doesn't like they're arc or self insert MC. Davidvinc got jumped recently on twitter because of negative CS post.

>>531139759
cute and canon...

>>531139759
A real /fg/ approved pairing

Based

reanspics... vankids... roido "5 seconds" bannings...

>>531139741
I literally just said I don’t care who people ship with who and you say “doubt it” you act like liking Rean means you can’t like anything else. It’s amazing how salty you are that people can like a character that you hate because you believe the world revolves around you. You probably had a meltdown when they announced the character would return in Kai

>>531140321
me on the right

>>531140321
god musse is such a little whore...

>>531140214
Ironic the Reanspic and Rean hater and Rean fans hater gives people shit for saying vankid

Finally, Kaedesis is here too. Getting creamy over Van x Shizuna again. What a horny woman...

>>531139741
csfags will have meltdowns the second someone says a negative thing about cs whether its here, on youtube, on twitter, on reddit etc yet they act like they're the only people in the fandom who don't lmao

For all their asset reuse, it's strange that Falcom never brings back old voice clips. They always redub them in both languages, even when it's a flashback or unchanged battle line. Is there some legal thing preventing them from reusing voice work or is it something else?

>>531140485
tell me where I said I hate Rean?
lol you just gave yourself away you dumb faggot, now we know how you operate
i don't need care who you like or don't. you claim to be a skyfag but whatever. The only thing I need to make fun of you is forcing your dumb fucking buzzword no one but you used and the fact you watch vtubers. nothing i say cuts as deep as that self-admission

wonder what these threads will be like if we'll finally get romance in Kai 2... haha imagine being cockblocked for 3 games, waifufags can finally stop holding back

>another day and another reanfag melty that ends with them cowering away with their tail between their legs
haha...that's our /fg/ shining bonds!

>>531141116
I think I've finally accepted that Falcom are just mediocre at this point so I don't think I have it in me to complain about Kai 2 when it inevitably botches all of the payoff.

>>531141193
Reanspic melties are the same shit every single time so I tend to ignore them until we can break from this loop. Can we go back to a regular shitposting...

>>531141289
unplayable without sunk cost

>>531141116
I just want to see Rean x Altina happen

Have we had new official dakis as of Kai?

>>531141956
I think the last one was Karja. There's not been any more since then.

>>531141839
this is the pairing that deserves to be C&C that isnt already

Even gay dudes don't like CS.

Anon why are you outing yourself as someone that follows gay dudes?

>>531142507
she's straight

>>531142507
It's his account kek

>>531142465
This tweet got deleted and everyone moved on a week ago.

>>531141956
We're getting 3 kiseki figures this year, what more do you want?

>>531142214
They practically already are. Kondom just needs to make it official.

>>531142663
kiseki eroge

when was the last time kondom gave an interview

>>531142465
I mean, the exact same shit happens in Sky. And Daybreak. And probably Crossbell but I don't remember

>>531142663
He wants one of the hilarious small handful of Kiseki characters the Japanese community votes for in the polls to get another picture of them awkwardly laid down in a very non-sexual way, fully clothed and barefoot, crudely drawn by a B-team Falcom artist, and printed on a pillowcase.

>>531142465
Van fans are really desperate for any validation if they are using this muppet for ammunition.

>>531142615
Yeah because he got mobbed by CStards lol. If only we move on from CS but Falcom keeps shoving them on recent games.

>>531142891
Falcom isn't based enough to license a kiseki eroge.
There's a fanmade h-game called black rabbit trainer but it's not finished and the dev dropped it.

>>531142465
isnt this the same retard who said that kuro 2's fishing was bad because it was "too hard" meanwhile every bit of footage he showed of him playing it had the turbo on lmao

this fucking bitch!! your getting creamy and not sharing bitch? your just spamming your bullshit """art"? fuck you bitch!!!!!

>>531142615
In CS4 they do a reversal and Crow wants to compare cock sizes, wonder why he didn’t use that one?

>>531143309
What?

>>531143092

>>531143359
Will always be funny to me that Singa's biggest hater is an obese 40 year old German pedophile.

I want to prone bone altina's tiny little butt

>>531143598
that's just celis

>>531143598
What was going through your mind when you posted those pics of yourself? Walk me through the process please. Was it the haughty and prideful "hehe, I'll tease them a bit" attitude of a seasoned slut who knew thirsty anons would go apeshit? Was it a bid for validation at a low point? Something else entirely? Enlighten me.

>>531144040
She wanted anons to calm down

>>531144040
nah

>>531143645
That's not Arvin though, atleast he doesn't write an essay on every Singa song saying why it's bad

>>531143335
because being homosexual and talking about penises is based according to him but tits are bad. Its such a double standard. Western people playing jrpgs just does not make sense to me

>>531144462
>Western people playing jrpgs just does not make sense to me
lol what the fuck
this is insane level of weabooism right here
you're not japanese dude, if you were you'd be on 2ch or whatever

>>531143169
renne got shoved into calvard games but you dont bitch about her?

>>531144462
>Western people playing jrpgs just does not make sense to me
Where do you think you are right now?

>>531144423
You've become boring. Well, maybe I won't get what I want, but at least I can take solace in knowing this will never be a decent place to discuss the games either like you want it to be.

>>531143152
they just upset that japanese people hate calvard. And blame it on Rean and class 7 rather than the terrible pacing the arc has. Its amazing how many van fans are in denial that he has a harem because they dont want to admit that its like CS

>>531144040
>>531144681
Are you trying to pressure her into posting her creamy cunt?

Did people really not have that one guy in the friend group who would joke around in a gay manner and annoy everyone?

>>531144863
Yeah and 95% of the time it turned out that guy was gay.

>>531144543
I know what I said what I mean is that there are Western people who play these games who dont understand that they are made for a different culture in a different country for a different demographic and plus sky and crossbell games had those yet they still keep playing and hate on those scenes. and like other anon said, hes not complaining when crow and the boys were in the bath in courageous and talked about dick sizes.

>>531144920
were you that guy anon

>>531144764
you keep latching onto the muh harem shit because thats the only possible defence you have for people not liking cs
people don't dislike cs just because of le anime tropes and le harem no matter how much you try to force that narrative

As newfag in the series I can barely look at the general without getting spoiled, I only finished CS1 and I'm still playing 2 in a slow pace...
I wish I had a sexy girl posting her butt to motivate me to play the games...

Reanasis who is your favorite female kiseki character and why?
pls dont say reana lol

reminder in real life you dont need a quippy one liner for every response

sometimes a nod or a Haha… just works fine

Imagine if Celine shows up in Kai alone and without Emma haha........................

>>531145113
Rufus is an Ironblood, Osborne isn't dead, Crow dies except not really because he gets revived in the very next game

>>531145113
4chan is like the worst place to be if your not tryin to get spoiled. Then again most people in social media trails get spoiled on stuff anyways. I bet 50 percent of CLE kai players already knew about the ending

>>531145195
Emma who?

>>531145113
>I only finished CS1
As in you've only just finished it or as in that's the only game you've played?

>>531145113
4channel's Falcom General would never spoil you Crow dies in CS2.

>>531145235
not even 4chan. its everywhere you have smug assholes pretending to be newfags to get updoots. happens especially in media where the west lags behind, like kiseki

book/mangafags are also insufferable

>>531145235
Yeah, good thing I played all CS1 before checking the general, or it would ruin Crow's plotwist.
He used to be one of my mains.

>>531145192
>Fufu...

>>531145365
The guy who is only playable for one chapter was your main?

>>531145312
I tried Trails in the Sky PSP first but forgot about it, than Cold Steel in my old PS3 because it was one of the only actual JRPGs in the console not counting Persona 5.

>>531145569
Looking back, for the majority of its lifetime… the ps3 was such a piece of shit console filled with shovelware, especially when you consider the huge initial buy in price

You'd think after the 50th time somebody who "died" came back and was wearing a mask that people in this series would stop being surprised by it

>>531145553
when he move to Thors Military Academy you use him all the time.

>>531145569
PS3 coldsteel was fucking dogshit, lmao. I'd rather play any other rpg on it.

You cant really consider yourself a fan with you didnt play Cold Steel on VITA imo.

>>531145674
Yeah, for some reason even Vita had better Japanese games for a long time, PS3 only had a bad Rumble Arena Digimon that was totally lowbudget and Vita all the main games. I don't think we have any Ys for it too.

>>531145861
only retards bought a vita

>>531145569
It's like you were scientifically engineered to ragebait as many /fg/ users as possible.

>>531145906
>buy vita
>hack vita
>have access to all vita games, psp games, ps1 games, emulators
hmm... nyo...

>>531142465
Is he one who those bi guys who only dates girls

>>531145970
honestly Im a skytard but I enjoy seeing other skytards seethe at someone liking cold steel or skipping sky games

>>531145983
Sony had the blueprint all along
>console sized games on handheld
>a device to play those games on tv (vita tv)
>went the moviefag route instead

>>531144968
its weird why people keep playing kiseki games if they really hate the tropes like theres this youtuber who plays with difficulty mods and he whines everytime theres an anime trope in the game. watching some US people playing jrpgs has become terrible nowadays

>>531145190
lol I've answered that a few times but ok. Bestgirls:

Kloe, Estelle, Josette, Anelace, Schera

Elie, Grace, Rixia, Noel, Mariabell though Llydia would be behind Noel if allowed

Aurelia, Fie, Laura, Altina, Juna but Reana would be in the top spot if allowed

Shizuna, Elaine, Agnes, Risette, Celis Vanessa would knock Risette down to 5th spot if allowed

>>531146051
Game skippers don't bother me because I'm not autistic enough to care about someone else's experience being ruined. I'm the only one who matters.

>>531146208
i don't care if people skip games but don't post your worthless opinion like it matters if you didn't play them all

>>531146096
The vita TV thing was actually quite good too. As I recall it's currently used as the best console to speedrun SH1 too. My only complaint is the upscaled output maxed at 720p and not 1080p

>>531146208
yea based on your picture you suuure seem fine I guess

>>531146276
What part of that post made you think I skipped any of the games?

>>531146043
I think he as male partner. The guy is buffed but I think he's full gay.

>>531146356
what part of that post made you think i accused you of doing that

>>531146408
The part where you said "your worthless opinion". Sorry for misunderstanding.

>>531145674
PS3 had this kino. It justifies its existence.

>>531146517
well i didnt mean literally (you) just more of a shorthand thing

>>531146201
Why do you like Elie, Rixia, and Laura if you don't mind me asking? I find them rather weak but am interested in hearing you out. And why are you so fascinated with turning our dashing male heartthrob heroes into girls lol?

>>531146201
Horny slut...

>>531146564
fanfic sis...?

Still the best DW game.
>>531146752
Who?

>>531145970
what is wrong about playing games out of the order? I could finish Cold Steel 1-4 and revisit Sky trilogy after together with the remake.
I do want to play her game too eventually for... reasons

>>531146201
enjoy it fucking korean gochujang pussy bitch this is the only game discussion you'll get this month unless this fat simptard decides to fish for more attention by asking you another inane garbage question. you fucking bitch!!!! game discussion? hahahahah!!!! no one gives a fuck about your opinions on any games bitch! we just want white panty tease and cream and pussy and that's ALL we want! that's all you're GOOD for!!!!

>>531146201
sorry if I sound a bit disrespectful, but can you compile your photos in one archive or link? I'm a bit late to the party and I want to understand the general's culture.

We didn't gatekeep hard enough. Look at the state of this thread.

why did he delete the tweet?

>>531147117
*sniffff*

>>531145365
just a warning dont say you like CS in this general your gonna get shitted on by people here because people here hate it when people like CS

>>531148886
nah that anon has to say that everything after sky is shit but still be a vankid then he belongs here

>>531148414
he deleted it because hes the type of fag that can dish out but cant take criticism

>>531148886
Oh please like you don't throw a tantrum the second anyone says anything bad about CS.

>>531149383
this
CSfags cry so much all the time. Did we get an influx of femanons that are all reanspics or something?

crossbellbros are the only chill bros
say something negative about sky or cs and the fans lose their minds like you just insulted their god but if you say the final dungeon of azure sucked most people will just be like "yeah pretty much"

>>531148886

nta, I feel like renne gets more love than Rean at this point shes forced even harder in these games and shes even more mary sueish than in the sky arc

only waifufags think renne was good after zero

>>531150846
Probably because you call everybody you don't like a samefag and when they try to prove their innocence you just make up some bullshit about how it doesn't actually count every time so why bother.

In a just world, Rean and Van wouldn't exist and we'd have a different and better Sen and Kuro/Kai arc

I'm not a big fan of Rean, but I do love his sister.

>>531137801
Both Jusis and Crow love Reana. But only one of them will win her heart. Who will it be?

vanbros, what do we do when our cute strong playful sword girl goes for her younger disciple?

>>531151071
Ignoring whether Rean is good or bad, the fact the entire fandom can't shut the fuck up about him either way is completely obnoxious. I wish there was a lot less of a divisive protag for Cold Steel instead so that we wouldn't have to hear about it 9000 times a day every single day for 10 years. All the people obsessed with him, both the haters and the dickriders, need to just shut the fuck up about it for a while.

>>531151580
Perhaps I can interest you in an old idea of Fanfic Anon's

>>531151580
Rean and his memes are why everyone talks about him. Newfags are going to know him and not Lloyd or whatever lmao

>>531151580
its always characters like him and kirito, kira yamato, shinji from evangelion too that cause the most polarization

>>531150868
what about renne fans themselves?

>>531151580
I think any mc in the cold steel arc was going to be polarizing just because falcom wanted to appeal to the sim like element of choosing a girlfriend it didnt matter if it was rean or another dude. Hell they could have made an mc with vans humor or personality but still would have hated it if he was mc in cold steel arc due to harem and character arc

>>531150985
does sunk cost of playing kiseki make you this delusional and sad?

>>531152942
youd think these games were all full on dating sims by the way its all u tards care about

>>531151537
I would have agreed but after playing kai theres no shot rean and shizuna get together it will be van and her if falcom brings back the choose your waifu

Its unironically more refreshing when Van meets someones he’s never heard of before

I'm sick and tired of this Kasim faggot.

>>531153116
falcom community in general focus more on the harem than the game does. They dont realize that the pick your waifu thing is just a side thing for fun a good amount of jrpgs have that. Reans story isnt about his romance option. Problem is too many trails fans want every game to be like sky

There will never be a Kiseki artist based like Hakuleg. Doesn’t do commissions, draws mainly for a ship that hasn’t been relevant since CS4, whatever else is just to titillate him or herself. Truly just for the love of the game.

>>531158410
any askers my bitch? XD

>>531158410
She also does Van/Agnes stuff
Some recent Jolda/Agnes smut too

Arios has the craziest animations in the series thus far. They really gave the dude some love.

>>531153160
you are not answering my question. what do we do if that happens? I need to be mentally prepared when csfags steal our girls.

>>531160460
>cold shit
>animations
Pick one, unless you count those sprite works in zero and ao as animations

>>531161265
hermes is a bad example your using, shes into having multiple partners she doesnt count as rean stealing girls

>>531162161
anon hes talking about s craft animations for arios, you didnt play hajimari? you watch a speed run of it or something?

>>531161265
"We" won't do anything spic. The fact that your bait is so weak really tells me just how desperate you really are. Here's a (you) so you won't feel sad, but don't expect more from me.

>>531162396
vankids are more desperate to validate their arc more than cold steel fags.

>>531162352
If you call those jeet tier blender animations as something that actually resemble the "animations" then sure. Cold shit eaters don't have standards anyway.

>this is a game from 2017

>>531162549
you sound like your fun at parties jeez lol what a doomer. you act like you care about animation but you choose to play a series that has a shitty one instead of looking for something else that has better ones. What a miserable tool you are who is fucked up because of sunk cost

>>531158410
This is sexualizing men...

>>531162696
I'm not partying with you coldshitter.
>>531162596
Incredible what jeets can produce huh

>>531128773
Enormous boobies

Reanasis made me so horny I can't play the games.
Every time I see Rean I remember of her.

Lmao you're broken as a person

>>531099748
>>531158410
Stop posting degrading pictures of male characters that you know might hurt the feelings of male anons here.

>>531128773
Their "friendship and rivalry" really doesn't add anything to both the characters and the plot unlike Van and Renne retcon. Were falcom really that desperate to add Rixia more relevance aside from Heiyue?

So I may have missed it, but what exactly was new in the trailer?

I just saw a girl posting nudes on /trash/ that looked like her, but she is slowly deleting all the catbox pics

>>531163507
Don't pretend like you weren't here from the start tranny.

>>531163560
Proofs?

What happened to Weissmann fujo? Did her boyfriend finally snap?

>>531162884
making your whole identity about hating CS is pretty sad ngl just move on to the next arc lol Calvard is an improvement

Judith is a smart girl who is not retarded.

>>531163715
just check the last /dft/ thread before it gets archived.
Same breast size.

>>531163892
Fufu

>>531162596
Imagine cold shit eaters seeing this and screaming KINOOO haha...

>>531163894
Wait IS that the Reanaslut?!

>>531164037
love this idiot

>>531163892
Judith is the best girl precisely because she's autistic

That's not her, Reanaslut doesn't have moles there

Proofs?

Nice try kid. You just want someone to post the reanasis nude

Almost got ya

Who the fuck thought this was fun?

>>531164037
Sexiest kiseki character ever

>>531162248
People say Rean steals girls but who are these ladies? Before you say Juna, one she's a retcon, two she's not a Lloyd love interest. Harem MCs lose their power after their arc is done.

Van stole Fie

>>531158410
I respect her dedication and autism, still it would be nice if she made other fanarts aside from rean x towa slop.

>>531164630
rgg who falcom stole it from

>>531166719
I wish kiseki was half as good as rgg games

>>531166829
kuro was obviously falcom trying to rip off judgment but they have none of the soul of rgg

>>531166920
Well I at least can see falcom actually trying with kuro 1. Kuro 2 and Kai is where falcom completely gave up.

>>531166829
rgg games were good when they were 12 hours, these 30-40 hour rgg games are so fucking dogshit and overstay their welcome

>>531166829
Kiseki is twice as good as RGG games.

>>531167587
haha... the same can be said of falcom

>>531168092
have these two ever interacted even once

>>531168113
yes, but there's nothing really meaningful nor do they have any chemistry like Aaron and Feri. Judith is more paired with Van, Aaron and Shizuna when it comes to banters.

>>531165205

>>531133318
They look perfect together

Ban-san's POV after he retires of being the protagonist

>>531169698
hot

Crimson Virtuoso and Gunlord posting…not something you see very often these days

>>531170302
old /fg/ died around 2020-21 together with the old memes
the RAT posting were fun for a bit, but the honeymoon phase after Kai ending has died out as well

>>531142465
Alisa is SUCH a fucking whore jesus christ

>>531170614
Just wait for the CS remake in 2030, it will be like you never left.

>>531170923
Cold shit is the reason old /fg/ has died newfriend. Kuro 1 not offering anything substantially different and Kuro 2 killing the whole arc only beat what was already dead.

CS is the best arc because it had the least Renne.

>>531169698
My favorite trails artist they know all the best fetishes

>>531171278
Holy Trvke

>>531171278
Calvard is kinda abusing her too much like Kuro 2 is aite with her but Kai is pushing it her connect events are just repetitive

>>531171279
Yuuto Kagura draws them very plump.

>>531169323
This is amazing

Finishing up gaybreak. They really couldnt make bergard a cool character hug

>>531171884
Ironically, he was cooler in Cold Steel in that one quest, where he is teleporting al over the place

>>531171809
This year was pretty for kiseki doujins.

hopefully Estelle will not become a target for ntrfags

>>531172406
Sanatuki is based thoughever I hope he draws Estelle getting railed by Ero-sama

>>531172696
Cropping this to just the bottom 2 panels makes for a fucking amazing reaction image

>>531173193

Just started Memories of Celceta, currently in the Selray Village. What the fuck happened to Adol? Why are his dialogue options so faggy? In fact why does he even have dialogue options? And why do they feel the need to go into his backstory? Isn't the silent chad main character who lusts for adventure good enough? God, I fucking hate what they did to my man. Tell me this takes place before Ys 1 and 2 and Oath so I at least can pretend this is some twerp who hasn't become a man yet.

>>531144764
It's fine, they've gone to cope about westerners loving Daybreak despite all the stats saying otherwise.

>>531177371
Celceta takes place after Ys 1 and 2 (and X) but before Oath in Felghana. Also, the story in this game is easily amongst the worst in the series.

>>531015808
CrowVita?

>>531177660
>The story in the worst
I can tell. Honestly I don't mind a barebones story, I actually did like that there was so much time between cutscenes as I was exploring the forest. I don't need plot after plot to be satisfied, I just hate it when the game decides to get all quippy, especially when there isn't a more stoic response that fits my idea of Adol.

I hope Shizuna doesn't end up with Rean but let's not pretend Falcon Cum hasn't hard pivoted with romance before

In CS3 Juna was clearly set up to end up with Kurt before CS4 made it Rean

>>531180524
>reddit spacing
>"falcon"
>retarded blabbering
Go back faggot

>>531180796
albertbros........

>Falcom
>Romance
Lol, lal, lul. There will be none. Rean is destined to be eternal virgin because of dating mechanic.

>>531180960
retard

>>531180796
The scariest part is that I can actually see Agnes sending her lewd pics to Albert or intentionally kiss Van in front of him...

>>531181502
We don't give ourselves nicknames in here

>>531180796
kekbert...

>>531180524
>In CS3 Juna was clearly set up to end up with Kurt before CS4 made it Rean
Juna and Kurt had 0 romantic moments together in CS3. People just insist they were meant to be together because Falcom reused a joke.

haha that's our rean

pround nordics trailer

>Van actually never showed romantic interest in Agnes
How do people expect their romance to work without it feeling forced? Will Agnes guilt trip Van into dating her?

>>531184239
proud chuds...

>>531178514
That ass is spectacular

>>531184239
Is anyone even excited about it? I barely see japs talking about it. Guess we'll soon see the sales number.

>>531188445
probably around 2000 copies first week

>>531184239
Yzzz

>>531178514
A little old but it nice and perky for her age

Mihoyo got caught using AI for their French translation of Honkai Star Rail.
If a company as big as them are using it, I'm almost certain GungHo will be too.

>>531196380
That’s fine. More accurate than xseed and NISA

>fight any quest monster in Kuro
>The fucking midi boss theme plays
>Over and over again
Holy fuck, fuck this song.

>>531196380
It just doesn't make sense to hire human translators anymore when pretty much any LLM these days can put out similar or better results for a fraction of the cost. People were laughing at MTL a few years ago and look at where we're at now.

>>531196380
Translators and editors fucked up shit too much and now they will get replaced.

>>531196558
That's our Binga!

>>531196558
calling it that is an insult to midi

>>531196558
Kuro 2's quest boss theme is so funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiB6bSYl-LY
hmmm yea boi finna bust out my toy guitar and midi violin

>>531196380
After playing reverie to daybreak 2, please gungho use AI

>>531197450
>Utter shit song
>Let's have it play the most in the entire game

Pure fucking ass.

>>531196380
I'd take AI over Van suddenly talking like he is on Twitter during side shit.

>>531197450
>>531198875
Aw yeah...
It's Kinga time.

>>531199067
Cringe edgelord loser! Oorah!

>>531200068
Didn't NISA remove Oorah for Tanman or some other bullshit?

removing Feri's oorah! was the last straw for me, god i hate nisa

>>531201425
They removed it completely in Daybreak and then made it Tamaam in Daybreak 2.
I presume it's because they worked on both at the same time and they had different editors.

>>531202410
Is Oorah offensive? Why did they remove/change it?

NISA > ESL MTL Troonlation

>no Oorah
What the FUCK Nisa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oorah

>>531203113
Nisa has actual troons on their shit, lmao

>>531204191
that anon is just rage baiting dont fall for it. he probably used the fan translation for kai already. everybody already knows that the fan translation is more accurate to the original script than xseed and NISA

>>531204524
Don't the fan translations usually get important story details wrong? Like how the fan translations completely misled everyone into thinking Gramheart was all about possible worlds.

>>531203818
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oorah_(organization)

Bruh

>>531204735
im not sayin fan translations are perfect 100 percent but its more accurate than NISA. If fan translations are 80-90 percent accurate, then NISA and xseed are 60-70 percent accurate. In daybreak 2 theres a good amount of lore thats taken away and a lot of serious dialogue thats replaced by localizers trying to insert their fanfiction joke

>>531204941
I'd rather take NISA's meme dialogue and fully understand the story than play the fan translation and get misled about plot elements.

>>531169323
Elaine has a great butt.

>>531205102
like I said even NISA mistranslates some plot elements too. they also change characters personalities and get rid of any nuances they have by making them all sound similar

>>531205140
she keeps her legs close to each other which makes her butt stand out even better

>>531205354
At their worst in Daybreak they've just given things their fanfic names. They've done nothing to actively mislead people with their mistranslations and at their worst in Cold Steel they didn't really understand the references to previous arcs in CS3.

Why does Shizuna sound like a californian YAS QUEEN girl in english?

>>531206452
>Playing waifu shonen slop in English
jej

>>531204941
Fan translations left out a literal plot point not to hurt Chud's feelings. NISA's slang is better.

>>531206452
I think the casting is pretty weak in daybreak arc when it comes to VA's. They were so intent on hiring an asian dude to play zin, aaron, and rixia idk why they didnt do the same for shizuna

>>531206648
its one mistranslated line and even then they were able to mention white supremacy and white people having racism in other chapters clearly. NISA literally changes characterization and plot as well.

>>531206648
you would rather take NISA that does 100 mistranslated lines because fan translation has 1 or 2 mistranslated line plus its still talked about the racism and the white supremacists having racism towards immigrants???

>>531206876
I only heard english VAs from clips and videos and all the girls in daybreak sound like shit, Van sounds decent, Kincaid and Bergard too, but it's pretty hard to compete with OnoD, Jun Fukuyama and Big Boss. I heard that some people like eng Judith VA, but i didn't get it, she sounds like a bimbo in the dub.

>>531205965
thicc, plump ass

>>531207029
>>531207238
Yes, also cause it makes you seethe.
>just one line
lmao at MTL trannies

>>531207238
NISA's mistranslations are them jazzing up the dialogue. The fan TL's mistranslations tend to have bigger consequences.

>>531207512
the fact that your just look to make me "seethe" instead of talking about it lets me know to just ignore you because your not worth it

>>531207275
she kinda is a bimbo sometimes though in her defense. But I get what you mean. Honestly I cant think of a better voice though. But yea jun fukuyama was hired because falcom knew what his character would be like in kai. Problem is NISA didnt know that so its not really NISA's fault for some of the casting. I will say Im the only person that doesnt see the hype or love around Vans english VA I dont think its that good. I think its not as mature sounding or confident or deep as jp van. Its like the english VA is new to VA's or something

>>531207660
concession accepted
at least NISA never leaves out plot points they personally dislike

>>531207974
>love around Vans english VA I dont think its that good
I only said he just sounds decent. No way in hell he can be comparable to Ono Daisuke especially when it comes to snarkiness in Van's voice. Then again I barely can tell the difference between Van's eng VA and Rean's eng VA.

>>531208721
I wasn’t talking about you specifically just in general I’ve seen high praise. I’ll say this Rean English Va has more experience with voice acting and is much better and acts better and can get into character easier than Van English Va. daybreak they hired 90 percent newer vas

do you think NISA is setting expectations of how much scReantime he and Altina actually have in the game with these elaborate voiced clips? he's in like less than 1/6th of the main story

>>531209630
The announcement trailer was 95% Van and co. centered while falcom actively pushed Rean in trailers. Horizon LE will include Van cock and you'll only get Van, Elaine and Agnes plushies. The voiced clips i assume are made for the returning characters because spriggans already had their character trailers in daybreak 1 and 2, but then again it's not that hard to make a 10-15 sec clips instead of some shitty gifs so idk.

>>531209630
It’s just marketing like displaying characters will return. Advertising trailers always shows off the cool parts but in reality most of the game is talking to people and learning of the situation of whatever is happening in the country there in

>>531210734
Rean was not pushed in falcom trailers he got same seconds of time as others. Could you show me the trailer where he was pushed more?

>>531211896
Kai 2nd trailer

>>531209630
Not anymore than Falcom itself did

Falcom's marketing of Kai was garbage, but it did manage to hype up the existing fanbase due to memberberries coming back. Makes me wonder why even bother changing Kuro to Kai since it's kuro 3 in all but the name.

>>531208683
Picture is from the fan translation.

>>531207554
>>531207845
cheeky girl

>>531212576
It's ok to start with Horizon (raughs)

>>531207554
Her breasts are perfect

>>531212576
What's there to market aside of returning character? The only actual stuff happening is on the last two hours in the game and they're fucking big spoilers.

Is Van a scumbag for not giving Elaine a proper answer to her confessions? He never clearly rejected her making Elaine believe there's still a chance. It just made me realize that Van really is afraid of breaking the status quo and change his current relationship with anyone.

>>531214453
They're too big

>>531215181
dude he left elaine and assumed she'd move on after like 6 fucking years. i agree he's a pussy but sometimes you never get the closure you want and you gotta deal with that as an adult

>>531212719
Dude ignore him lol he’s baiting people who like NISA translations won’t be here and even if there are it’s very few maybe 1 or 2. He’s trolling you don’t give him attention

fufu...

>NISA releases two Daybreak games in a year
>sales down from Reverie in 2023
Get FUCKED Kusoeaters

>>531217664
Why should I care if NISA is getting fucked?
If you're really want to see what FUCKED looks like you should look in a mirror and see for yourself that life has already fucked you over.

>>531217664
Honestly I hope NISA doesn’t localize so we can continue having fan translations.

>>531184239
>Pround NORDICS

>>531217664
Daybreak 2 had a poor word of mouth and then there was that whole translation controversy about pronouns and rizz it was going to sell less than daybreak 1

>>531207845
So young yet she already has such a fat ass. Imagine how big it will be when she's a milf

>>531217664
>>sales down from Reverie in 2023
In the span of a year NISA released Zero, Azure, Hajimari and Nayuta.

>>531218489
Nisa are also just shitting out these games too quickly for normies to keep up.
>Zero/Azure 6 months apart
>Reverie 4 months after that
>Daybreak a year later
>Daybreak 2 6 months after that
I think Horizon being delayed a few months was in their best interests because any casual JRPG enjoyer with a job can barely keep up. It's good we're catching up to the Japanese releases but to an outsider this all probably looks quite ridiculous.

>>531212238
Nta, he really wasn’t they just showed off spirit unification for 2 seconds and a bit of action combat but Altina and Elaine had some too so how is he pushed any more than others? Is even a little bit of him “being pushed”?

>>531219402
That’s true but falcom needs western sales badly so in a sense I’ll take this so they can keep making kiseki. I am afraid though if a simultaneous release comes eventually then Falcom will start writing more for west than japan and trails will lose its Japaneseness which would suck

>>531216949
>nooo you have to like our MTL trannylations because...you just have to okay!? muh board culture waaaah
lmao get fucked retard

>>531219402
I feel like normies can catch up easily though. Like I assume 80 percent of trails fans don’t talk to all npc or play on nightmare so it should be an 70-80 hour experience hell I’ve seen some steam players play Kai in 50-70 hours and that is the second longest trails game. So I do think it’s not too overwhelming for a player who is in the middle of the series already but yea a player trying to get into it is intimidating

so how the fuck NISA only got 3% drop in sales, but 50% drop in revenue?

>>531220082
There may be other factors in play. Another anon the other day said they might be trying to get more licensing or they are giving money to NIS Japan

>>531220082
NIS is dying and NISA is trying to keep them alive. Maybe they're trying to get a license, there's a Danganronpa announcement seemingly coming in a few months.

>>531221147
PLEASE DONT LET NISA translate a danganropa game please then again they are better than the people who localized hundred line

>>531219972
I doubt normalfags that grew up watching sports and the ubiquitous shounen anime like Naruto, DBZ or even something like Avatar will suddenly develop a taste for JRPGs as 25+ plus year olds. What's more likely is that JRPG fans of big shit like FF, Persona and Pokemon MIGHT feel inclined to give this series a try. Could be I am being way too presumptuous sure, but I have never heard of a total normalfag suddenly grow a taste for JRPGs. I think it's something you are exposed to early and either you like it or you don't.
