Would a kiseki mmo work

>>537694885
No because everybody would just choose Erebornia and steamroll all the other factions.

This is not a meme. This is very real. I checked last year and google would say, "there is no evidence of Blackrock inc, having any shares in Falcom" I did a leisurely check now and guess what. They own 8% of the company.

Love Kiseki
Simple as

Why didn't they just put Tita in Class VII if she's gonna be around the whole time anyway?

Because Class VII has a different purpose and Tita wouldn't fit, play the games they explain a lot of questions you might have

>>537695043
Seriously, did summer attract this many reanfags or wtf is going on?

>>537696305
She would've had to get Reaned, but she's too cute and canon for that

>>537695427
Are Blackrock buying up falcom shares then?

Half the reason I endured completing CS3 and CS4 was to get to the Tio date scene in Reverie.
Despite only being five minutes, the hundred hours wasted playing those games was worth it just so that I could stare at Tio's flat chest

Do you honestly think Sky remake will be a big success in Japan? I remember how Kuro 1 was hyped up, but it dropped 30% in the first week sales compared to Hajimari

idk I don't have prescience

>>537696678
is sales all you people care about now

>>537696462
Cold Steel is the most popular series, get over it.

>>537697339
yes the stinkiest shit often attracts the most flies

>>537696515
They definitely are. Or they had shares already but they were not disclosed since the woke shit started way earlier.
Also I recognized another name, Charles Schwab, another globalist DEI faggot. So jews own 9%+ of Falcom.

I don't feel so good. I've seen other franchises die due to this exact thing. League of legends died when Tencents share hit critical mass which now owns 100% of Riot games.

>>537696678
It will sell a lot more than the past 3 but who knows if it will regain Cold Steel status for popularity. I'm sure the switch ports will carry the bulk of the sales at this point.

>>537697585
the market is not the same as it was then, if cold steel released for the first time now it would not see the numbers it saw back then

Kai 2 will be Their Game and there's nothing you can do about it.

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

>>537696678
No it won't, but the simultaneousl release will help a lot and the west will contribute a lot more to the sales than Japan. PS is fucking dead in Japan and jrpg sales keep declining with each year and shitch isn't any better, we saw that falcom games don't sell that well on it. Kiseki is still a PS centered series where falcom got their fanbase.

>>537696305
>Why didn't they just put Tita in Class VII
Because Agate would get NTRed. They probably could have put Renne in there instead of retconning Ash as a Hamel victim to have a link to the Sky crew.

>>537696678
If it's a good game I hope it's successful, if it's censored slop I hope it dies and I hope there is no SC.

>>537697468
personal experience?

Kondo is gonna kneel to the west if sky remake flops in Japan....

>>537698312
They should've put Tita in nuC7 and made her for Renne instead. Fagate doesn't deserve her (for sex at least)

>>537698695
maybe japs should buy their games instead of spending all their money on gacha then and then falcom wouldn't have to

>>537697339
Its not

>>537698878
Japs would rather play chink gachashit and support CCP by buying loot boxes.

>>537699062
proof?

>>537697680
hard to say, theres been breakout hits like the xenoblade and ryza games for jrpgs during that time.Even tales of arise sold insanely well for what it was. there's a lot of hype for the sky series and its coming out on both switches so if anything i can see nintendies being the main chunk of people buying the game.

>>537698878
>>537699123
It's too late, Japan is already a lost cause. The nips have kowtowed to all the woke DEI faggotry and rampant censorship catered to the "global audiences". It's no wonder jap consumers have are only playing either Nintenshit or chink and gook gachas because China and Korea are the ones who are making unapologetically horny games with solid stories that mirror what Nip devs used to be able put back in their prime before they cucked out

Whenever I play a game that has character creation I always make Rean now
I started a new Fallout run the other day and my Rean is exploring the ruins of Ancient Zemuria on the early days after the collapse
It's really fun, I pity the people that don't like Rean honestly

Least mentally challenged reanspic

>>537699682
japs pandering to the west is a result of the failing jp market not the other way around

>>537699682
Unfortunately they have no choice the domestic market is just decreasing not just for games in Japan their economy is in a weird spot from may

>Elaine is gonna win
>more censorship incoming in SC remake
The worst timeline

>>537700140
it's a mix of both factors. traditional console games selling worse due to the dominance of the switch and phone games are driving developers to overseas markets the console market for ps4/5 games has only been getting smaller as years go on. its pretty impressive that falcom is deciding to step up and do their own pc and switch ports in house now finally.

>>537700686
Shame that Switch players don't care about Falcom games.

>>537695427
It's over

>>537700903
yet all of falcoms switch ports have done mediocre numbers because switchfags only buy nintendo games

>>537700946
yep, didn't all the 3rd party games on switch 2 flop, aside from cyberpunk?

>>537700492

>PS5 couldn't even crack 2500

GRIM

>>537699784
In my Xcom 2 run I made Rean and he was the first person to die. Actually stunlocked me. I deleted the campaign and will start over tomorrow. Atleast Kurt did not decide to kill himself this time.

>>537701214
The lesson from that is more that nobody really wants game key cards as they're the worst of both worlds.

>>537700903
Playstation is fucking dead in jp zamn... it barely even feels like ps5 was released 5 years ago considering how many players are still on ps4

When will Falcom games ever look this good?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5UO07yx4MA

>>537701506
is this another gachashit?

>>537699142
I said so.

>>537701506
>gachaslop
leave

>>537695427
The moment he died the hyenas came to devour the corpse that is Falcom. Kato protected the company as best as he could.

>>537701314
Haha... always one to sacrifice himself that Rean...

nadia rizz

>>537701506
When they are also being owned and financed by the CCP.

>>537701407
It's dead because it's still too fucking expensive. The PS5 was launched on November 12, 2020. That is almost 5 years ago. And yet the prices are still the same. It should be like at least 150 dollars cheaper by now.
And considering that (A) Sony console generations go by 7 year cycles and (B) most Sony exclusives end up going to PC anyway, ain't nobody is going to buy a PS5 when the PS6 is only about 2 years away.

>>537701506
falcom doesn't have all that chink money desu
they could collab with miHoYo since the devs are a huge kisekifags

Gust and Atelier are the "best" looking anime style game coming from Japan these days I'd say. Falcom probably has the best models but their environments and animations are absolute dog shit still. The art design in the Ryza games are still pretty peak despite being relatively old now.

>>537701506
Soulless chink slop. Would never play a chink subhuman game.

>>537702147
ateliers gameplay is so boring tho sorry gustfags

>>537702054
yeah, also ps5 doesn't do that well in the west either since ps5 doesn't have a lot of good exclusives compared to ps4

Someone post *that* image from Ryza.

>>537702329

>>537695427
You're lying. These are the shareholders.
https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/NIHON-FALCOM-CORPORATION-6814763/company-shareholders/

>>537702329
Depends what series you play, some excel in amazing combat like Mana Khemia or Dusk while others excel in cuhrayzee item crafting like Mysterious. I personally really liked Yumia due to the exploration the game offered despite it having some of the worst systems in any Atelier ever.

the biggest problem with kiseki right now is the pacing
after kusano left, everything fell apart, i really hope they'll find someone for kai 2, because takeiri clearly can't handle both the script and directing the game

>>537702712
Lmao. Wokefag BTFO.

>>537700903
>The Switch is the only thing keeping non gacha garbage relevant in Japan.
Even JP gachashit is flopping left and right. Besides a small handful like FGO or Uma, the gacha market is getting completely carried by Chinese and Korean gachas.

>>537702808
doesnt different people work on directing? like even kondo said he directed sometime. In kai no kiseki credits was there a director listed? I know in daybreak 2 credits there was no director credit

>>537702746
No offense, but Yumia looks like shit

>>537702147
I'd say Granblue Relink takes the crown in terms of recent Japanese-made games that make use of 3D anime artstyles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d599EUYOYco

>>537702712
Kondo only owns 0.8152% of the company? Wtf....

>>537702712
Your website suspiciously only shows Japanese owners, who are you trying to fool
https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/nihon_falcom-stock

>>537702054
>And yet the prices are still the same.
Thanks to Drumpfs tariffs the price of the PS5 is actually getting MORE expensive than cheaper LMAO

>>537702934
>doesnt different people work on directing?
i think ys x had a different director, kiseki is being fully handled by takeiri after kusano stepped down
>like even kondo said he directed sometime
he doesn't direct anymore, but he does write the script for ys games, ys x main story was written by him afaik
>In kai no kiseki credits was there a director listed?
no
>I know in daybreak 2 credits there was no director credit
i think kusano was in the credits, but it's widely speculated he barely worked on kuro 2 and left shortly after

>>537702848
Fake info to stoke doomer shit using lies doesn't help anyone. I searched and searched, but the Blackrock thing is a lie.

>>537703052
>meiko ishikawa owns more of falcom than kondom despite the fact that she hasn't composed anything for falcom in 20 years
kek

>>537702961
Relink was really good but it was also a huge anomaly. It took like 8 or so years for it to actually come out and it's unknown if Cygames will continue to release games like that. The Senran Kagura creator is currently working on a new game over there that is going through a similar experience of getting announced and then radio silence for years. Cygames certainly has a lot of gacha money to sit on but their console games are not consistent.

Genuinely dislike people that use staff names as if they have any clue how Falcom works

>>537703246
lying faggot, this is the first thing that comes up on google

>>537702961
Relink was so fucking good. I just wish they did more with it instead of just those few post release raids. They also had that big matchmaking issue that idk if it ever got fixed, which essentially killed the game

seems like katos son owns the majority of falcoms shares

>>537702881
Part of the problem is that most Japanese gacha games don't even bother trying to reach out to international markets. Say what you will about Chinese gacha games, but they take non-Chinese players seriously. So even if you don't play Chinese gacha games like Genshin or Azur Lane or whatever, you still at least know they exist.
Aside from F/GO and Uma Musume, what other big Japanese gacha games are there? I can't even name them. I'm pretty sure there's a Dragon Ball gacha game, but I don't even know if it's even available in the west. And again, that goes back to my original point about Japanese gacha games not even trying to reach out to the west.

Anyway, look at these cute siblings.

>>537702954
Yumia excels in scale which plays on with the vertical exploration and art style, the graphics themselves aren't that great and the weather system can fuck a lot of scenes up. Overall I think the game looked great with what it was trying to do and had plenty of variety in its environments. Atelier is still a budget series with its yearly release despite its expensive price tag. The anime tax will never go away.

>>537703828
How is this related to Falcom?
Exactly, now shut the fuck up nigga

>>537703337
The only good thing about it taking so long is that the release was really polished. I think if they kind of made Relink like a live service game with continuous updates it would've became huge

Did I get cucked by buying Ys X last year?

>>537703219
Yea kusano was in the credits in daybreak 2 but as the director. There was no director listed. Kai is in Japanese so I can’t check to see if they have a director ill have to see once localization happens.

>>537704127
buying any falcomslop is cuckoldry

>>537704127
NISA will give you a 20% discount, trust the plan

I just pretend the series ended here. No woke shit, no woke investors, no censorship at the source.

>>537704127
Yes. Inadvertently, at least.
Now you hopefully have learned your lesson, and never buy a Falcom game on launch ever again. Always wait at least a year after it comes out in English just in case they give their games the Atlus treatment.

>>537704127
You were the beta-tester for the Proud Chuds haha...

>>537704225
Reverie is a better thematic end, just don't do the teaser daydream

>>537704225
i always find it funny the bride and groom are partially blocked in the background in a corner for their own wedding. Rean just cant stop winning haha...

>>537704390
its funny how much reanspics despise the series and only care about rean getting focus

>>537704202
Dude even cle gave like 35% discount for the og owners... if i don't get at least 50% discount I'm done with supporting falcom

>>537704363
Nah, Hajimari was the start of route shit and what lead to Grimgarten slop. Also shit fan fiction level story. It's bottom tier Kiseki. Best gameplay though.

>>537702364
It had more to do with pricing. The PS4 was not only cheaper than the PS5 when it launched, it also went down about a hundred dollars after 5 years. (That, and its games were also cheaper than the 70 dollar games of current consoles.)
Meanwhile, after 5 years, the PS5 has GONE UP by 50 bucks.

>>537704202
Worthless for consolefags though.

>>537704554
Also reminded me too much of Sky 3rd. Hate 3rd.

>>537704665
Those aren't people anyway

>>537704945
Consolefags run this place.

>>537705090
You haven't run in 20 years, fatso

>>537705339
Incorrect, there's a reason the world calls your kind PCfats.

>>537705090
Consoleniggers are a dying breed. Everything worthwhile on PS on PC with better graphics/frame options and delicious nude mods. And switchtoddlers don't play anything besides Nintenshit

>>537705456
Every game is made for consoles so what's the point in getting a PC? Even nude mods tend to be copy pasted body trash.

>>537702881
The only truly Japanese only medium of gaming left will be eroge. Because chinks are no allowed to make porn (VNs) and the west finds it sexist.

>>537705720
Eroge is dying too because zoomers can't read, they prefer gacha

>>537698695
It will flop in the west as well. Haha

>>537703917
It's relevant because Falcom could be doing so much more with Kiseki but it's stuck in its copy paste flowchart of recycling everything they possibly can every game while sandbagging the story.

>>537705632
oh no a soulless zoomer

>>537701219
Elaine wins = the west wins
Sorry bro, but if she's gonna win it'll be over, falcom will bend their knee to the west. Elaine being an ex-girlfriend doesn't mean she should be canon, especially when the main story pushes Agnes.

>>537705720
Aren't some of the best eroge artists chinese now? I know Sayori is Chinese and she made Nekopara. You can argue that Nekopara was the biggest eroge in recent history with how much mainstream appeal it had globally.

>>537705901
It is, but it will not die out. Enough coomers need eroge like a drug. And no other country makes eroge. It wil remain as a niche largely untainted by Blackrock and tencent. Wokeshit is incompatible with eroge simply put.

Agnes is boring. She doesn't deserve to win.

Kondo had a hard life...

i thought kondo had kids?

>>537706510
that was Kato, Kondo is a khhv alcoholic

Wow imagine being in Liberl and not even having real roads still. I guess it worked to their advantage since the empires tanks couldn't move in.

>>537706450
Genuinely what is Agnes' plan? Get pregnant at 16? Why does she think this is a good idea?

>>537706031
You want copy pasted nude mods, that's peak soulless.

Huh?

what's wrong with that? she's in her prime and she wants to mate with the man she loves

>>537707209
Ngl Van would be so much better looking if he fixed that yee yee ass haircut...

>>537702147
Nah. Ryza 1 and 2 look okay and 3 looks good, but they have a godtier artist. The games are nothing out of this world. Relink is probably the best-looking anime game. Tales of Arise is very pretty if nothing else. Scarlet Nexus and even Sky remake look real fucking good.

My favorites are still Vanillaware, but I know that's cheating.

>>537706669
>Kondo is a khhv alcoholic
Literally me

>>537707209
I was also born in a different country than the one I've been living in since I was 3 years old. Nationality isn't defined where you are born.

>>537707526
So I guess all the new Indian and African immigrants are now authentic Japanese. The future of Japanese videogames is very bright.

>>537707214
Ban-san will run far, far away. The post-nut clarity would hit like a nuke.

>>537707675
My point was that her being born in China doesn't negate my point that eroge are the only Japan only medium left. You simply can't make eroge in China. Only all ages slop and that doesn't sell unless you are Key or Type Moon.

Agnes should try fucking Van in his truck. Its the only way

>>537708059
The car would reek for years.

you really are obsessed with sex huh

>>537695427
Thanks anon, I will use this info wisely, so short before the Sky 1st release. The first shitstorm with the censorship was nice, but that is as glorious to use.

>>537708278
lol no it wouldnt

god i hope van will be unhinged and mindbroken in kai 2

>>537708505
i just hope they do SOMETHING to shake up the status quo

>>537708603
no more sweets and saunas

WHERE IS THE PRICE?!

>>537708945
its 60usd everywhere else so why would the pc version be different

>>537709003
so we can laugh at thirdie and aussie regional pricing

>>537708945
no pre-orders just like silksong

>>537708505
those aren't nice things to hope someone goes thru...

>>537709056
WHERE IS THE PRICE?!

>>537709056
falcom are allergic to western preorders for some reason

>>537709150
20 dorrar

>>537709516
But the regional pricing

>>537709087
He got way too comfortable with his current position and everyday life.

You can't grow if you don't fall...

>>537708945
>>537709056
Atelier does preorders these days atleast. I think it may be a Gungho thing for PC where they don't allow preorders since Valve is very selective on who is allowed to setup preorders or not these days. I don't think even Nisa and Xseed are allowed preorders usually.

>>537711363
>Atelier does preorders these days atleast.
WHERE IS THE PRICE?!

>>537711363
I don't think NISA or xseed ever did pre-orders for falcom games on steam
I remember there was a shit show with NISA and CS4 pre-orders on PS

>>537711716
>I remember there was a shit show with NISA and CS4 pre-orders on PS
kek I remember seeing that on /fg/ too

>>537711670
I think it will be $30-$40 individually and maybe $90-$120 for the full pack? That's how it was for the other bundles from what I remember. Also KT preorders are typically a month before launch so we'll see if they bother to do one for Ryza DX. Its supposed to be late November from what I remember so plenty of time still.

>>537711716
Damn this is the future of xseed preorders...

Why does Van do this? It's supposed to be Rean's thing...

>>537712397
wtf

>>537713043
lloyd did it before rean was even created

Why did Calvard make Ouroboros all buddy buddy with everybody?

>>537713723
mb you should actually play the games instead of your retarded blog posting?

>>537713723
they already did that in cs or did you forget the swimming competition

I never understood why people always latch onto Walter for mellowing down when he got his resolution in SC, it was the entire point of his fight with Zin and learning the truth about his master's death from Kilika, same happened with Luciola and Renne.

>>537714112
Bleublanc deserves a promotion and a raise

>>537713723

You could probably kill some of their small fry but the strong ones would retaliate. Doesn't Novartis still have super mechs too.

>>537715048
yeah, but the enforcers, they don't really serve that much to the plot anymore. Too much shit going on with too many characters.

>>537715004
Which way magical hermaphrodite?

>>537697472
I presume that the shareholders bought tbe huge amount of shares after Kato passing away. Expect these DEI investors buying even more shares if 1st is a success. I remain in my assessment that Kato and his conservative leadership as chairman held these DEI Investors at bay. Now we'll see them fast spreading like cancer.

>>537704225
>no woke shit
lmao!

>>537715375
Ouroboros has always been on a severe 80/20 rule, it's kind of annoying how random shitters get to join the society and teleport around while contributing basically nothing. It seems like basically all the work has been done by Campy, Novartis, McBurn Arianrhod and Loewe. Everyone else ranges from benign to literal traitor.

>>537716004
Well that's the entire point of enforcers. GM gave them a lot of freedom except for Campy. Only anguis need to follow orders. Enforcer can be pretty much anyone with darkness in their hearts, but not inherently bad people. That's why ixs left ouroboros cause he got disillusioned with them while Jolda found her place and freedom she desired.

Will Loewe stay alive in the remakes?

>>537716253
The Anguis kind of suck too lol. Weissmann was a traitor, Vita accomplished literally nothing, Mariabell only huhus, 1st hasn't noticeably participated in anything and Elroy is the literal oathbreaker.
Interested to see what the 5th and new 7th are like.

>>537716448
Yes, Kondo created the entire plotline with resets and time loops so he could undo his mistake of killing Loewe.

>>537716448
Series would've been way more interesting if he stuck around desu, cool dude.

>>537702961
It's easy to do that when you release an 8 hour RPG instead of a real game.

>>537698740
You're a moron. It's not about deserving anything. Agate owes tita sex for hitting her.

When will cedric come back

>>537715529
He's the one who invited them in. There is no such thing as conservative leadership in a public company. They are legally required to not conserve anything.

>>537707443
>Kiseki fujo au
Total fujo death

>>537706454
All he had to do was hire me and let our shining bonds fix this Trainwreck.

Japs don't usually buy games that don't appeal to them. Falcum fucked up.

those niggas went out of business in murica

fufu

>>537720162
When will this guy die

>>537720480
>sorry muh demons made me impotent
>here's a headpat

I dunno what falcom is trying to achieve by adding haremlets to Van... Even fucking Renne is head over heels for him. What's the point if I can't romance her?

>>537721319
That's just how they write. Been that way since Sky. And just like Sky, the main girl will probably win. This isn't Azure or CS.

>>537721319
falcom is trying to please both harem fans and not harem fans. Its a sneaky strategy kondo came up with to target both demographics hes clever. A true shrewd businessman

>>537721662
He can't really do it because foreigners (mostly Westerners) don't like it, and they've been appealing to them since Kuro 1. It'll probably return next arc in their attempt to win back the otakus who bought the games years ago.

>>537722015
theres no shot they bring it back. With japans domestic market decreasing they are going to appeal even more to the west unfortunately. They kinda have to because of how bad domestic market is

>>537721662
Kondo is a retard if he thinks that will satisfy anyone.

>>537722148
>japans domestic market decreasing
Japan isn't collapsing into a failed state. They're still a long way away from that point.
>appeal even more to the west unfortunately.
That makes zero sense. The west isn't buying the games. Otakus are known to spurge on content they like/support.

>>537722337
its already working. most people that like harem or are neutral to it know its a harem. And the harem haters who hated it about CS are denying Van has one because in the story agnes and elaine are the only ones that confess their feelings for him. Seems like kondo succeeded in brainwashing us

>>537722015
You're fucking dumb. Kiseki is already past the point of attracting newfags. Kondo literally said the next arc is the final and they are already preparing to finish kiseki as a whole before its 30th anniversary.

>>537722519
Fill her pussy with cum

>>537722337
Yeha. Falcom doesn't have the balls to fully commit Estelle/Joshua or Nadia/Swin

Even with CS where you picked who you end up with, it's barely anything

It's just Falcom being Falcom

>>537722435
if you look at recent falcom sales reports west is catching up with japan in how much sales they contribute. Look im not happy about it either but falcom said they are doing it in their last shareholder interview where the guy shitted on kondo for kai

>>537722520
>games keep flopping & now the series is ending earlier
Unironically makes me sad. Jesus christ, Kondom, what have you done.

>>537722519
the ending to grim garten is at least kinda nice. Doesnt make up for everything but kinda nice right?

>>537722435
>>japans domestic market decreasing
>Japan isn't collapsing into a failed state. They're still a long way away from that point.
But they're still falling
Their own gachas are also failing
Their game sales (outside the big big franchise and nintendo games) are down
Japans whole vidya industry is falling, fast. Especially with the prominence of the chinks and gooks in actual video games now

And it's another reason why i hate UE5.
It enabled so much chink slop now it's a mainstay

>>537722560
Rex is so lucky...

>>537722583
Nisa saw a decline, too, though. They're killing the series for a plan that hasn't worked once for them.

>>537722447
I think Kondo actually baits fans to buy the next game with the love triangle. I think fans don't really take other girls seriously for Van's romance aside from Agnes and Elaine, I guess mb Shizuna as well to a lesser extent since fans like her and there was a huge ship tease in kai.

>>537722793
>Their own gachas are also failing
Global ones are. The ones that don't leave Japan are fine. If something doesn't appeal to Japan or something specific they like, they won't care about it. It's why you rarely see Western games make huge waves over their.

I guess we'll see how sky remake will perform in Japan, because even if the ultimate best entry in the series won't break the 50k curse, nothing will.

>>537722886
For all that trails fans meme on him hes he’s a businessman through and through he knows how to sell his stuff. He even teases Shizuna by asking “do you think she loves him”. Hes a born salesman even with shitty marketing budget he knows how to sell a game by getting into the audiences head

>>537723510
hard agree
fucker baited us with cs3 and announcing theres a sequel as soon as it dropped

fucking fucker fuck fuck

But he failed. Since people aren't buying the games as much anymore.

>>537722834
You mean NIS? NISA is the publisher

>>537723403
the shareholders won't care unless it completely flops
it's releasing on the same day here so it's a big sales either way

>>537723510
kondom teh snake oil salesmen...

>>537723642
No I meant NISA.

>>537723779
Nah it definitely won't flop due to simultaneous release. I'm just curious about japanese sales since Kondo clearly wants to attract more fans in his home market.

>>537723963
Sky is the best way to do that, barring a new arc that course corrects. So, really, it's down to marketing and nostalgia.

kai 2 is cancelled for the next arc please understand

>>537724071
we're 2 weeks out lmao
there's no marketing except the usual falcom shit

Falcom dev costs make it so that they get a profit everytime even after Kuro 2 and Kai they are chilling they just need horizon to be localized already

There is a Nintendo direct a week before sky the first falcom could put a trailer in there for Sky first

>>537723864
Honestly I hope NISA flops is part due to people not buying their games and using fan translations because their localizers put fanfiction in the daybreak games

>>537724138
I remember saying that Falcom should have put Sky 1st in every State of Play and Nintendo Direct post reveal. And they didn't do it. Retards.

>>537724282
The general public don't care for that shit lmao

If they were to flop (which is likely now)
it's more due to their own greed
Game key cards, delayed releases and expensive price tags will make them flop

As well as now there's competition(worldwide release dates, CLE, Gungho) within Falcom games (whether or not Gungho wants to do the main series remains to be seen)

>>537724161
But he did admit that kuro 1 underperformed, but to be fair it was the first game in the new engine with bunch of new assets so I guess they expected a lot more from all the work they've put. Maybe this why Calvard feels so recycled after kuro 1.

>>537724485
Ok look now your being a little too unrealistic they don’t have that kind of money your not trolling right?

>>537724603
Oh no you’re right he did say it underperformed. So they set their expectations for 45k to 60k physical. But now look they are now having pc japan switch Japan and ps5 Japan all in the same release with west so kuro 1 and Kuro 2 taught them the desperation for more platforms and worldwide

>>537724282
Are fan translations actually fucking NISA sales I’m sure some people double dip. Then again NISA put a cease and desist on Kai fan patch once they announced horizon

>>537724485
Announcement trailer last year is the only thing we've got. They did put a 10sec ad for proud chuds and celceta remaster in the jp Nintendo direct. Ain't no way falcom will risk spending so much money for the state of play showcase lol.

>>537725208
The games sell more on PS though. Getting more eyes on the game should be the goal

>>537725496
This was on tgs which is more realistic.

>>537725556
How is an online only vid more realistic than an irl gaming event?

>>537725496
Cold steel 3 ah good times don’t give a fuck about fg opinion cozy game

>>537725496
>>537725556
Falcom had a full on demo for kai on tgs 2024 with jdk band concert. I think there was also a fan meet up with Van's seiyuu Daisuke Ono and Quatre's seiyuu.

>>537725716
Falcom be getting the best VAs for their game. Vans voice literally enhances the character. The English dub is loved too I can see why but daisuke just radiates maturity and confidence/cool senpai, mentor vibes

>>537725716
yep apparently the concert managed to gather a big crowd
>>537725921
Daisuke Ono is one my favourite seiyuus, but i liked the direction he had with Van in Kuro 1 more, but other than that he did a great job with Van.

>>537722519
I will fill her mouth with my tongue and then cock

>>537726512
I’m not very familiar with Japanese voice acting what was the difference between his approach in Kuro 1 vs Kuro 2 or Kai? Maybe the script was written differently so it seemed off?

>>537725921
The dub is shit and they wasted Yuri Lowenthal in Kuso 2

>>537727165
Another anon explained it to me but I think with main characters like Van who have more long term contract and voice lines the voice acting company will have them be a less expensive and less experienced one to save money like I think they called it union or something idk too much about it. But for a small role and one game only they could hire Yuri as garden master because he doesn’t have that much screentime in the arc

>>537725921
They finally got Lelouch to do some cool shit and it was fucking worth it

>>537726954
Just listen to Van in Kuro 1 and then in Kai
In Kuro 1 he sounds more dry and jaded compared to Kai where he sounds more like Battler from Umineko. I'm not sure if that was a conscious decision on falcom's side or they allowed Daisuke Ono to take Van into a more youthful direction.
On another note, try to listen to Shizuna from Kuro 1 and Kai you'll notice the difference too. In Kuro 1/2 she sounds very cutesy while in Kai she has a more mature and tranquil voice.

https://youtu.be/o3ETMZ10M8g?t=106
https://youtu.be/uxPMgtpmFTQ?t=601

>>537727165
They hired more new vas for the main cast for most of them especially the mc van

>>537727619
Meaningless when the script is bad

Don't care about eng dub. I only know that Van is voiced by that guy german from smosh.

Is Trails considered part of the chuuni genre?

>>537727617
I know Shizuna one is because of the specific content of the connect event so it makes sense in that scene she sounds more mature and hopeful after realizing she can rely on him. Maybe Van sounds different because after Kuro 1 Van is no longer the lone wolf anymore due to Agnes and friends saving him and him realizing not to give up on himself that easily anymore? Vans dialogue to ix probably shows that change the most

>>537728078
What do you mean?

Sky? Good
Crossbell? Good
Cold Steel? BAD
Daybreak? Okay

>>537728196
Maybe that was a bad example
https://youtu.be/q9wdC5qRObQ?t=554
I dunno, but for me Shizuna sounds a lot more different compared to Kuro 1/2.
>Maybe Van sounds different because after Kuro 1 Van is no longer the lone wolf anymore due to Agnes and friends saving him and him realizing not to give up on himself that easily anymore?
Well like I said it could be falcom's direction or Daisuke Ono thought it would fit Van more if he started sounding less dry.

>>537728312
They talk like zoomers and californians

>>537728569
Oh the localization you mean yea I think they took too many liberties

>PC Engine versions of Ys I through IV, The Legend of Heroes I and II, and The Legend of Xanadu I and II are being ported to modern consoles
hahah damn

>>537728565
Yea she does wow. I guess she still
sounds cutesy when she’s making jokes and trolling but yea your right her normal talk is different l. Then again Kai we are getting more voice acting than Kuro 1 and 2 so it could be that as well

>>537728775
>ed3-5 is not out of the realm of possibility
brehs..

>>537728569
Did you try the fan translation to me it’s better than the NISA for daybreak 1 amd 2?

>>537728998
https://nyaa.si/view/1749605
https://nyaa.si/view/1749617

ZFDaykreak 1 is probably very similar to what nisa has (but nisa cleaned up, changed a few things)

Kuro 2 is complete mtl garbage, you can have a tgry if you really want

>>537729139
Oh no I played them already I was asking if you did incase you played the NISA version and wanted to play a better translation

>>537729139
I disagree zerofield is better the characters and dialogue are far more faithful than NISA daybreak 1 there’s a huge difference

do we know if rean will appear in sky remake yet

>>537730929
this franchise belongs to fie kondo-san

It's gonna be really funny when Kai 2 or 3 ends up canonizing pairs for every protag except Rean and Van.

>>537731079
Van is getting Agnes. Lloyd and Rean won't get one they'll get everyone

>>537731079
Reans arc isn’t really about romance but then it be weird if Van doesn’t get canon romance though

>>537731190
Nah vans getting Elaine falcom is catering to the west. They getting global now which sucks

>>537731316
Or her yea.

How much of kai 2 will be filler or setup for the next arc?

>>537731518
half half
>finishes van/spriggan stuff
>kevin / rean stuff is the culmination to haji2
theres no way black god is some side shit bro.. no way...

Impossible to say when we don't know if Kai 2 is the end of the arc.

We are getting another bridge game after Kai 2 haha...

Loewe............

>>537736346
he's so cool......

>>537734386
>Power bottom
Renne is absolutely a top unfortunately (the bad kind not the mommy dommy estelle kind, a real sadist). She uses inflicting pain on others to reassure she won't be hurt.

>>537736346
I like Rufus but I feel that after CS4 they changed his character way too much. I don't really get how the writer can "like" Rufus but then change his entire character where he doesn't even resemble anything what he used to be. Sure he's now a fugitive but he comes off as way too playful and whimsical now. He was way more cold and calculating in cold steel from what I remember. The picnics need to end.

>>537737059
He kinda still retains that calculating he’s the only one in the group that can compete with Kevin’s though process and can tell his intentions whenever he does one of his schemes. Even Nadia doesn’t notice a few times about Kevin’s intentions but Rufus can

The picnics need to continue.

>>537728152
The only ones with the non-gay titles are the Stahlritters

>>537739445
yea weird localization choice. I think the localizer probably thought sword maiden was sexist because of the maiden part but they could have come up with something better >>537734150
can someone link this? where you found it

>>537741076
That's because Duvalie is the best character.

>>537743376
She's my favorite character. I can't wait for her to come back in Kai 2 and steal Rean away from Altina.

>>537743582
haha

>>537740853
All Erebonian characters are right to have titles as it relates to how Erebonia loves pomp and ceremony.
Jaegars entirely hinge on their name to get the good work, so passing around codenames and titles is essentially advertising and makes sense to have.
Bracers also make sense to have titles for the public facing side as it helps the organisation have good PR, we see this clearly with Beauty's Blade.
Dominions need codenames and titles to have something to refer them to as within the organisation without actually saying their names, like how in the church's report about the salt pale in 3rd they don't namedrop Barkhorn but use Roaring Lion.

Yeah, I can't wait to hire Zero Artisan. kek

>>537743721
Reminder that in FC a woman thought that Bracer was Estelle and Joshua's last name.

>>537743858
Would you rather hire Toval or the who's the fastest draw in Zemuria?

From what I remember Arianrhod gave the titles to her Stahlritter so they probably value it more than their own real name.

>>537743940
Yeah. the demented cat lady

>>537743940
She was a tourist retard so Falcom either didn't think the bracers were quite as widespread or her brain damage just made her not realise bracers were a thing.

What makes Edith so soulless? Replaying CS1 and Trista / The campus / Erebonia is so soulful.

Sky is soulful.
Crossbell is soulful.

Why's Edith so soulless? Is it because we're barely there?

>>537746593
Too modern and not enough fantasy stuff to compliment it. Also it's French (gay)

makes it so much more depressing that she doenst show up in kai ngl

>>537747402
I mean there are plenty of people in cs who reference yun ka fai does it mean all of them have to be in kai? Then again having laura in rean route would be nice because she has chemistry with fie. But falcom would never take out altina shes too popular

>>537747496
Would've made more sense to bring back Laura than Towa desu.

>>537747402
>Laura shows up to job to Shizuna worse than Rean
Heh.

>>537747652
Towa was set up for NGO stuff which concerns the entirety of Zemuria unlike Laura gushing about swords.

>>537747652
towa is more for connections with agnes and aso but also due to reference to her grandfather and astronomy. Plus she does have chemistry with crow so it helps with dynamic not just rean

i think sky and cold steel were the best aesthetics the series has to offer. crossbell and calvard are just way too modern and scifi, it makes them pretty boring. this series already has a huge lack of variety in its areas so cramming a bunch of modern cities and sewers as the main chunk of your content doesn't help it.

>>537748095
its music imo. Old schoolhouse in cs1 I could only get thru and it didnt feel like a chore because the two osts they put for it are beautiful. music can carry a dungeon so hard. The problem in kai,kuro 1 and 2 a lot of the sewer underground type dungeons are singas techno songs. Crossbells geofront theme is jammy as hell too very catchy

Can't believe Australia is double censoring the game

>>537753042
Paying almost 100 bucks for new games.....lads....

>>537753042
>>537753214
lmao what even is that? I haven't bought a steam game over $30 in ages, I just wait for discounts and always pirate Trails

>>537753985
It's physical

>>537754091
so? weren't physical games like $60?

>>537754091
I'm tempted to get the physical version, but if the Switch 2 upgrade is just downloading the whole game again and making the cartridge basically a game key card I don't see the point. Is there any information about that?

>>537754158
Tarrifs etc fucked everything up.

>>537754258
As far as I know, Australia isn't part of the US.

>>537754249
> Is there any information about that?
I have no clue. I'm getting the PS5 version.

>>537754332
Nor is my country. Taxes for example don't help.

>>537753042
Please tell me this isn't just the standard edition without the season pass or DLCs.

>>537743376
she is though. the fact that she just continues to suck snek dick after her master left this world really shows shes just a complacent retard that yuristelle needs to beat into shape.

>>537754803
I wanted her to join the bracer guild and open up a branch in Ymir or join the one in Legram.

>>537694372 (OP)
so Sky the 2nd is coming?

>>537755968
Yep. Kondo confirmed its coming sooner. So might be next year.

Kai 2 is next year
My uncle works at falcom and he confirmed they've relocated most of the resources for its development around a month ago when the development for sky remake was finished.

>>537753985
You will never own digital games.
Doesn't it look better to have a nice library of physical games on your shelf?

>>537757131
you care a lot about how the world perceives you huh

>>537757270
But he's right. Physical is superior

>>537757131
in theory, in practice physical games are incomplete since they need day 1 patches that have to be downloaded. also isn't Switch physical REALLY gay? like, you can't give the physical disk thingy to other people or whatever?

>>537757357
>physical games are incomplete since they need day 1 patches
I don't usually need those and can be undone. That's how I first played Stellar Blade haha

>>537757357
Half my collection is second hand and I've never had a problem with switch games.

>>537757025
>Kondo when talking about Kai and Calvard

>Kondo when talking about Sky remake

>>537757337
There's nothing inherently inferior or superior about one or the other you are just emotionally attached to one form and feel the need to put down the other so as to give yourself validation
Ironically showing that you are very insecure about it

>>537757589
If the servers goes kaput, you can't play digital games while a good 90%+ of ps5 games works right out of the bat offline.

>>537757589
Nuh uh

>>537694372 (OP)
I think the sexiest character in Sky is Josette. AMA.

>>537757656
If the disc reader goes kaput, you can't play physical games while 100% of digital games work without a disc reader

>>537757734
You prefer STD riddled girls with unshaven pussies I guess

>>537757846
Disk readers can be fixed. Hell, Sony even sells it separately now if you need it.

Fufu the dominoes are falling
Everything has been decided

>heh at least in a doomsday scenario I can still play my video games
do snoys really

>>537758037
Three games.
>Xanadu project April 2026
>SC Remake July 2026
>Kai 2 September 2026

>>537758132
>>537758037
the world is literally going to war and you care about video games

>>537758205
We'll be lucky to get one of those in the West.

Thanks Gungho.
Die NISA, die.
Maybe Aksys steps up.
But Die NISA, DIE. For a second time.

>>537758295
nah that fat retard is about to die so we'll be back to normal in a couple months
meawhile I'll just be playing Sky 1st

>>537758205
i more inclined towards kai 2 and tx2 in 2026 with sky sc remake coming out in early-mid 2027

>>537758295
What are you on about

>>537758484
Im a believer of SC/Kai2 for 2026
With one being announced at the direct or TGS soon

TRUST THE PLAN

>>537758205
>Three games.
But Kondom wants fewer games coming out now. Xanadu next year. 2nd in 2027 and Kai in 2028.

If I win tonight's lottery I'm buying Falcom and forcing them to remake cold steel and daybreak with female protagonists

Kyoto Xanadu was quietly cancelled when they saw no one cared about the reveal

What happened to the farming game Falcom announced last year?

>>537758712
I own .8% of Falcom and we still are only releasing 1 new Falcom game a year.

Honestly how can some of you niggas play with eng dub? It sounds horrendous...

So why reply to a post clearly not targeted at you?

>>537759963
He replied to me first and was hostile for no reason. Why'd he do that

>>537759028
script looks amazing, thanks

>>537759028
first time hearing English Feri, she a cutie and the sole reason I'm gonna use dubs

Why are so many Japanese dub users so insecure? Just play the game man, you don't need to have a superiority complex over people using other languages.

>>537759235
If you have to do that you are dumb but I assume you are use to looking down at people smaller then you all the time. you gain nothing from supporting evil

>>537760669
Lack of parental love has given them an endless need to "prove" themselves to the world, but they are really lazy so they pick petty pointless easy battles like thinking using subs somehow makes them superior

It's just teenagers trying to sound cool. I had a buddy who used to insist on Japanese dub for every game and anime and would shit on English dubs unprompted at every given opportunity. Now we're all in our 20s and he doesn't give a fuck anymore because he got over his autism.

By the time the appointed hour comes you'll be breaking down the door to be drafted. Blackrock has officially infiltrated Falcom so expect subliminal messages in the game to brainwash you.

Can't wait for their sex scene in Kai 2.

This, both of them. So good.

>>537762890

I can smell the founders' early life section on the wiki haha....

They really need to make character themes, man. Don't understand why they don't do it.

>>537761448
based

>>537763565
Which characters have a theme? Kevin has in kai, grendel theme, Altina had a theme in cs2.

Seeing the global distribution of Sept-Terrions now it's kind of messed up how much Aidios favoured Western Zemuria with her gifts
Unless the Water and Wind ones are somehow incredibly powerful it just comes across as cruel

>>537763692
Does Joshua count as having one.

>>537763730
I think Iska has both Wind and Water. Combine the two and you have the Sept Terrion of Life, I don't know but that seems more powerful than Time.
Alba said " even unlock the secrets of TIME and LIFE" on top of the esmelas tower.

>>537763831
Well i guess you can count it just like with crow and blue destination or Loewe and silver will

>>537763927
I could see that being a thing
Arteria would then need to reveal a secret 0th Sept-Terrion, maybe the Primal Ground itself

>>537763730
there's 8 sept terrions on your map

>>537763692
Silver Will is basically Loewe's, though it's not just played for him. Even Kanone gets it in FC. I wonder if they'll change that in the remake.
Blue Destination is a Rean and Crow theme.
The route themes in Hajimari for Rean, Lloyd and Rufus are pretty much character themes.
I'd say the mech related themes from CS2 are definitely Valimar themes or at least Awakening, CS3 and CS4 less so when there's multiple mechs to use.

>>537764565
Bryonia and Nord's sept-terrions combine to forge the Sept-terrion of Steel leading to an eighth on the map.

>>537764368
>secret 0th Sept-Terrion
What element would it have

why was an ouroboros member named after a hardware store

>>537764565
One of them is a combination of earth and fire. Do keep up mate.

>>537764716
Void/Nothingness, probably has to be an element that doesn't exist on Zemuria but are from higher planes.

>>537764565
you niggas really don't play the games huh

>>537764861
Sept Terrion of.....Zero haha....

>>537764940
Which is what Demiurgos become too cause she zeroed herself haha

>>537764716
Kindness, and it turns out that it is Estelle.

Well Arteria has to keep the cursed items submerged in water so I think they should have the Water one

>>537765115
>estelle is a nothingburger who loses and jobs constantly
>a septerian
I am probably her biggest simp in this whole thread and I've done a lot to play with estelle but this is an idea that did not occur to me at all. it would really wham line snekstelle since shes operating post Sky under the assumption that the plot needs her to make all the sep terrions friends even if it kills her

However I will counterpoint this. I think that would make estelle too close to KeA in terms of role in the story. Now don't get me wrong, Falcom is creatively bankrupt. They made loewe twice and joshua 3 times. They absolutely would make a decision as out of left field as this. But I'm not sure what it would achieve. Estelle is rightfully criticized as not having any agency in her story. I think shes stronger than most people give her credit for, but it's very clear her kindness doesn't result in any kind of epic power, and if you want to say her friends are the power rean has far more including a robot septerrion fragment that gets stronger the more friends he has.

alright I'm filtering this stupid snekstelle schizo

>>537765661
go for it.

don't reply to my posts, malformed mockery of humanity

>>537766194
>nooo stop talking about someone elses idea
you seem mentally challenged. this is a thread for discussing kiseki. Personally I feel like estelle doesn't have the magnetism necessary to make septerrion of kindness work without literal time jannies.

It's not sept terrions then if there's 8 is it? The Octocian Church is a lie. There are also actually octium crystals

Also holy shit the jannies are mudslime slurping faggots who support terrorists and hate the Jews, trying to get me banned.

You come across as a woman and I was taught to not abuse women so I will refrain from telling you the harsh truth
All I ask is you do not engage with me any further

>>537762220
Eww. If anything Juna would be a Palestinian student in the US, about to get kicked out of the country for antisemitic statements.

>>537766615
Why are you so stupid as to openly announce you're ban evading? Take a 5 minute break bro you're so emotional you're self-sabotaging

>>537763730
Aidios also allegedly nuked a Western Zemurian country with that pillar of salt that nearly genocided North Ambria.

>>537766064
>>537766364
That wasn't me, I'm >>537765115 and appreciate your input.

>>537763730
this looks really similar to Rances world

>>537767154
Not really at all, sister...

>>537766990
One Salt Pale wasn't enough, nuke Northniggas AGAIN

>>537766615
good point, but strange one coming from someone who was openly trying to larp as though this websites administration doesn't love jews.

Junior Bracer Estelle could probably nuke almost any OG class VII moid in a 1v1 duel, but she'd lose to all of the girls.

And while we're on the topic, I really dislike how characters get absolute bullshit Crafts and S-Crafts just for the sake of having them. Elliot allegedly sucks at combat, yet has access to magical power that lets him summon hellish bells out of nowhere and create explosions of pure energy by playing the violin?
He should've been given a healing S-Craft in line with his passive personality.

I miss those times when Kloe used to have 2-3 crafts in FC because there was no need for a Spellcaster to have any more.

I bet estelle pegs joshua

>>537767860
Fight and defeat final nightmare gilbert solo with estelle before you say this please.

I think the only characters estelle would have an easy time with is characters with arts. Estelle wont win an art war but she can hard break to her hearts content. I'm guessing machias would waste estelle unless she has comet.

>>537767860
>Rean
Beheaded by tachi
>Jusis
Ran through with saber.
>Machias
*Boom* Headshot
>Gaius
She is now Gaius' rapewife who stays in Nord.
>Elliot
Disarmed by Elliot's looks she becomes Elliot's wife (non-raped)
>Crow
saber in tummy hurts bad

>>537767860
You're gonna feel SO stupid when the final grand battle centers around Elliot using his violin of creation to challenge the GM's harp of destruction

>>537768349
>Elliot playing the violin
>Altina, Millium, Estelle and Agnes singing
>Rean and Van on guitar and bass
>Rixia, Sully, Ilya, Schera and her daughter dancing
It'd be kino.

Is it true Elliot has a big cock, how does someone small as Mint get it to fit?

>>537768329
estelle seems like she could probably actually take gaius. His crafts dont seem as annoying to fight for her as the other delay monsters and characters who have access to disabling crafts.

>>537767860

>Estelle charges at Machias

>>537769139
More like machias trips over as he's about to shoot estelle then blasts his own face off by accident

>>537768838
CS1 Gaius has access to Gale Stinger which has a 50% chance to seal, Turbulance with a 50% chance to blind, and Savage Fang for delaying. Also has Wild Rage for CP regeneration assuming he has some healing arts slotted into his arcus.

>>537768704
KINOOOO
nu-Kondo could never

>>537769296
Wouldn't Gauis have access to Wild Rage regardless of whether he has healing arts installed? Your statement is misleading.

>>537769296
>savage fang for delaying
the discussion was trainee estelle. you dont get to be past FCs soft level cap.
>but what about muh blind and seel.
really not as big of a problem compared to freeze and paralyze.

>>537767860
Junior Bracer Estelle would realistically defeat CS1 Machias, Elliot and Rean (if he doesn't ogre). CS1 Jusis would be a better arts user and eventually stab her chest (it would be a difficult fight for him though), Gaius would absolutely skullfuck her and if Crow didn't hold back he'd stomp her head in like Walter.

We should put our great ideas into a neat tidy list and mail it to Kondo
We could save Kiseki
I am pre-emptively vetoing anything related to sex BTW, we want to be taken seriously here

>>537769139
>>537769492
machias can hit estelle with a 1 time guaranteed status effect. thats mainly why he will probably win.
I really dont see how gaius would come out ahead of the others. Crow would absolutely rape estelle though, freeze and high delay crafts make him a nightmare, she wouldnt even get a chance to thaw.

>>537769638
Estelle can 1 shot anyone with one cast of aero storm at lvl8

>my toon would defeat your toon!!
Are you 12?

>>537769560
Kiseki cant be saved with ideas, it must be saved with authority.

Ahhhh Trista...home...let's take a listen to some Abend Time to pass the wee night hours....

>>537769737
>toon

>>>/co/

>>537769638
>I really dont see how gaius would come out ahead of the others
He has free S-crafts.

>>537769767
what does that even MEAN??

>>537769737
>waa waa stop having fun
Grow up, manbaby.

>>537769414
Then Gaius would just Wild Rage and die when he accidentally stubs his toe.
>>537769446
So level 40 then? Blind and Seal might not be be the worst ailments but if you disable Estelle's physical attacks with either you're left with arts user Estelle which isn't her specialty.

>>537769940
>repeatedly telling this guy my toon would fuck up his toon is FUN, LEAVE ME BE
Okay lil bro no need to get agitated

You are all retards when the matter is simply settled by whoever uses their s-craft first cause they usually do far more damage than the hp of said characters.

>>537770126
S-crafts aren't canon.

Nobody cares about Calvard. Nobody wanted Kuro 3. Everyone cares about Erebonia. That's why Rean had to come back and save Falcom from Van's series.

>>537769729
>aero storm
>8
are you brain damaged?
those aren't levels.
>>537769932
the moment he pops a wild rage and estelle can s break hes dead
>>537769973
arts is likely to keep estelle alive in any engagement because her crafts actually suck really bad for fighting physical attackers. The entire two games with her solo were a slog of this but weissman despite being RNG heavy because of his adds was just stupid easy thanks to the fact that hes not strong against crafts which suck in the game. if she has to get into an arts war with strong arts user she'll lose if she doesn't swap to melee though. for physical attackers she's probably better off using earth gaurd, clock up, and agi up, and waiting for the miss to take a safe attack.

>>537770126
In that case I win because in my head the scenarios always play out perfectly to the strengths of my character so he would start with 200CP while the other guy blew it on the previous fight and only has 15CP

>>537770205
proof?

>>537769932
>free s-crafts
>wild rage gives 60CP
lol, he's still short 40CP and just gifted his opponent a turn with 30% decreased health.

>>537770126
How come your characters are perfectly fine surviving S-Crafts if they fight each other in-universe?

>>537770413
>proof?
If Tita's laser beam thingy is canon it breaks the worldbuilding, same for Million casually going to space.

I'm THINKING!

>>537770568
titas laser is floating using orbal tech. it hasnt actually gone into space. but even if falcom said it did. it doesnt have eyes. Tita calculates the vector via craft points manually.

>>537770568

I thought it was unfunny and only something 12 year olds or ESL would find funny

>>537771834
?

>>537772162
Why do Liberl girls like crossdressing Joshy so much? No one ever wanted lloyd or rean to dress girly.

Estelle would wipe the floor with all of Shit VII.
Tita has done more amazing things at 12 than Rean has at 20, and she too could solo the Branch Campus

Estelle is considered the equal of Wald in Zero. That's how garbage she is.

>>537775803
Estelle no diffs Wald and doesn't even break a sweat.

>Sky remake helped the staff to rediscover what made kiseki so special
Kek surely this will help them with kai 2, it's also funny how kondo inderictly shits on calvard games

The worst part of being a Falcom fan is being unable to wear any of their merch because for some stupid reason they don't consider someone might be too tall and big boned for a simple XL

(raughs)

Great realization to have moments before entering the Grand Finale arc

You're not fooling anyone Vankidfag. Why else would you bring up your boogeyman/buzzword unprompted unless you had some weird sexual fixation on them?
You want Vankids in you.

>>537781194
>he can't think about males without making it sexual
Dear, oh dear...

You niggers are mentally deranged

>>537781417
I mean you said Rean is your favorite and he is gay and you can't stop talking about Vankids, so it adds up.

We need /ourheroes/ to save this general..!

He’s just coping and in denial about it not being like cs. Once he plays horizon that denial and cope will still come. Coping is how westerners can handle these games that have Japanese stuff in it

>>537781884
They're really gonna cope hard after Agnes' confession since they hate the idea of Agnes romance.

>>537781845
You are retarded so it makes sense.
Notice how you havent even denied being a fag lol

>>537782185
Notice how you haven't denied spending your evenings lubing up large black dildos and violently ramming them up your bumhole while looking at Daswani's gallery on the wiki

Peak and nadir Trails politics.
Peak:
>Crossbell political themes:
>Countries that aren't recognised and have no rights and their laws being unenforceable in the face of major powers (extremely topical but also timeless)
>Desire for independence vs pragmatism
>Corrupt politicians in weak nations being manipulated by said major powers
>How such country becomes a haven for criminals
>A straight up "cult manipulates politicians through a pedophile blackmail ring" plot point (now THAT sure is topical)

Nadir:
>Daybreak political themes
>White people bad, immigrants good
>White people incompetent, immigrants super competent
That's it.

>>537782738
oh no no... Vankid is gonna freak out...

>>537772576
They're fagophiles.

>>537782112
Won’t they celebrate since Van rejected her?

>>537782738
many are saying this

>>537782598
That's how you get down Vankidfag? You're a gay freak lmao

I just masturbate to Altina, Fie or Tio

even the vankids can't deny Cold Steel has the better girls LOL

>>537783313
Nah, Daybreak girls are better. Better hags, better lolis and better cowtits

I see all kiseki characters as my family, I can't fap to them.

>>537783809
Estelle and Joshy are family and he's gonna invade her Liberl pussy with his Erebonian cock

>Ending full of characters interactions that were off screened
Rude falcom...

>>537784326
Why is Agnes the one bringing their drinks?
Falcom's misogyny is plain disgusting, ugh!!

>>537784326
I don’t know I feel that if this scene happened Rean haters would just say “Reans taking away private time between van and Agnes or he’s parading in his vans arc for the 100th time” they often speak in hyperbole

>>537782912
The story clearly implies that it's not that simple and it's over yet. Kondo himself said that fans should be excited for the heroine race since Agnesfags made a huge comeback after Kai.

Vankids really are odious creatures

>>537759028
Jesus feri and van are like completely different people in the localization don’t know why they made feri informal. Glad they decided not to do Scottish for kansai Ben I guess they gave mariabelle a Texas southern like accent. Rean making a bit more humor so kinda bringing up xseed Rean?

My personality? Calling people "Vankids" online.

>>537785393
Oh no I’m just talking about that one moment of him rejecting her I have no idea how Kai 2 will go. I do agree with your points but let me remind you falcom are starting to think about the west more when making their decisions and Elaine romance canon would please both Japanese and western fanbase even though narrative wise Agnes would make more sense

>>537785504
Hatsuu takes a character she thinks is “boring” and then punches them up with her fanfiction of what she thinks the character should be even though that diaregards the intent of falcom which of course localizations are supposed to carry out the intent but you know that meaning has been lost to vandalizers like her

>>537785686
Well if falcom wants to alienate their jp fanbase even more, then sure. Both Agnes and Elaine are extremely popular in japan, but Kondo said that Agnes overtook Elaine in popularity. I think he also said a year ago in the western interview that he was surprised that western fans prefer Elaine instead of Agnes unlike in Asia.

>>537784326
Every game, even Zero which I think treats returning characters the best, handles this badly. How Falcom struggle so much with such a simple concept is beyond her.

>>537786191
route shit ruined the interactions
i dunno mb that was the point of kai so that van and the other groups won't fully trust each other in this loop, but after the limited reset they'll work together in kai 2, hence the theory about van being a solo protag again since his route line is the only one that is curved with no stopgaps

>>537786062
Kondo knows the reason west prefers Elaine. he’s stupid not an idiot he’s very clever and dubious. It would just be awkward to talk about in an interview. Most like hatsuu told him about west not liking Agnes because she hates her. We will have to see if Van gains feelings for her in Kai 2 or not

>>537786703
They wanted to prevent a cs4 situation where too many returning characters meddle with a group. For cs4 you don’t get too many opportunities of class 7 being just them so for Kai the routes allow aso to have their own time while having returning characters do stuff in other areas to make events happen concurrently. I think people that didn’t like cs4 will like Kai because of aso smaller cast and no harem(yet)

yfw HE returns?
