Elie looks like a slut here.

Is there something like senpatcher for the Calvard games?

>>542229860 (OP)
Total Tio and KeA SEX!!!!

Big fan of the Grendel fights, they're kinda like DK fights except you don't have to deal with the gay ass charge/spirit thing, and you aren't forced to eat shit in the event the boss attacks and you don't have enough Craft points to block or counter it.
I hate the file limit, I had to make this a gif because of the 4K Res my new monitor has

>>542230417
The fuck
You work fast nigga, only a few days ago you were posting 1st screenshots

>>542230498
It’s over

>>542230020
She was always a slut.

>>542230478
That wasn't me
I was posting reverie screenshots though

>>542230498
So does that mean he’s not doing falcom songs anymore? Or he’s a freelancer for both?

>>542230417
Does this .gif not work for anyone else?

>We have THREE 4kchads in our general
ermm are we rich?

>>542230417
Ugh……. NISA localization

Fango and Bronco are the hardest fight in FC if you don't use the corner meatshield cheese strat.
In Remake, just Chaos Brand them to death lol.
OG Chaos Brand is not a gamble.

>>542231575
4k monitors aren't that expensive. The price of flat screen TV's/monitors gets lower each year.

>>542230115
nah with Durante involved it wasn't really needed for later CS entries and not needed at all for Daybreak

>>542231014
He's done work for various other products while still being affiliated with Falcom before, so he's probably not going anywhere

>>542230498
lol arvin using his dad's money to hire has-been Falcom employees
that is one way to achieve his dream of being part of jdk I suppose, just a very sad way

is it true that unisuga is still employed by falcom but he's just doing web design shit?

>>542232714
That’s good. Hoping since Katos passing there can be more balanced distribution of composers for the Kai 2 ost. Maybe have Singa do 20-30 percent of songs instead of 60 percent. Bring it back to cs3-cs4 level of composer balance

How were you supposed to find shining poms in Cold Steel without buying shining pom bait? Or did they just not exist until it was added as a dlc?

>>542232978
all we know is that he's still employed

>>542233458
Shining poms don't appear in CS at all until you use the dlc and you can't even fight them in CS 3 and onwards

I miss Momiyama...

Aw, not the SC-55.
Doom music best music.

>>542234465
You can hear SC-55 in The Legend of Xanadu PCM tracks though. In fact, this song is literally a Doom E1M1 rip off lmao.

>>542233671
Thought so. I won't miss them too much, but it was always nice to get an occasional quartz/EXP boost.
They were pretty much useless to farm in Crossbell and only served to make completing your monster guide a pain because of the inconsistent appearance rate and no hint as to where they'd spawn.
Fighting that Shining Pom King in Sky the 3rd was the peak of shining pom combat.

62 ppl playing Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga

is this considered a fail once more?
Falcom closing down soon?

>>542238046
Don’t worry the publisher is fine they didn’t pay that much for the dubbing it’s cheap English voice overs anyways. They probably hired some people off the street to play the characters or something idk

Can Lapis eat humans?

>>542238046
>>542233410

Devilish... Linde will go down in history as the sluttiest student at Thors Military Academy.

Kai gets less sales in Japan and Sky remake got even less. lol falcom is going to skip crossbell remakes to remake cold steel at this rate. Then again maybe even a cold steel remake might not do good in current japan

Ragecuck asshole status?

>>542231969
Chaos Brand is too much of a gamble in First to be a great boss strategy against them.

>>542240305
they'll be pandering to whatever china likes since that's where most of their sales are coming from now

>>542240627
That’s true but Japan is still important because of games plus merchandise as well. They still get significant revenue from them

Alisa is one lucky girl.
Ferris should try to pair her off with Vincent to welcome Alisa into her own family.

>>542240627
By the time Falcom gets the money from a sale in China it's been passed through so many middle men that they get pennies.

Those are figthing words!
Paula needs to stop acting so tsundere towards Jusis or he'll never understand her feelings.

The Garbage Quartz.

Everybody, what is the point of THE GARBAGE QUARTZ!?

The Garbage Quartz are like ATS+12 or DEF+30.

Used to be DEF +12%, ATK -4% or something like that. Used to make sense. Challenging in a way but adjusting to the character's growth.

Now it's like character has 1220 DEF, here's another 30. cool. Who needs this?

>>542240305
Pandering to the west failed falcom both times for Sky remake and the Kuro games. Hopefully next arc they won’t make the same mistake or maybe they will keep pandering to the west so long as next arc they can do worldwide release

>>542240305
There's no way they'll skip Crossbell. Those games actually sold. AND the gooks like that arc too. I think it's more likely that they'll prioritize the remakes.

>>542242182
The point is too uh fill up the item lists

>>542242563
Oh yea I forgot. I guess I keep forgetting that crossbell did sell well in Japan. I keep thinking it’s not regarded well there because they didn’t get high marks in falcoms poll for kiseki game ranking as high as cs4,cs1,sky1 and sky2

Kay... who's going to tell him?

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

>>542222434
I constantly shill Evo portraits for this reason. I cannot tell you that og sky is soulless but a lot of the side characters are very half baked. The Evo portraits make all the characters not look like zakkos which is a marked improvement. The biggest beneficiary is probably agate and nial.
>>542226275
I picked tita and kloe in fc because the ultimate foil for Richard needed to be the younger characters.

Kloe in the original art is HORRIFYING. Evo fixed that.

>>542242182
You use them to get the shard skills you need until you find better quartz.

>>542244217
I have not seen anything like that so far. Hopefully in the future it gets made.

>>542244264
EVO is clearly the best version of the game atm.

Music, art, gameplay, voice-overs, everything is top notch. This remake does have it's issues and generally I'd say it's worse.

>>542242938
>>542243534

I don't know why they even bothered making all the non SPD-boosting accessories in Sky Remake. Like who's gonna use that shit?

>>542245216
i dont feel like falcom really put any thought into the equipment and quartz design it all just feels like they just do ir rather brainlessly just because of course it's expected of a jrpg to have obligatory +def items and whatnot even if the game never really rewards you for using them

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

>>542245345
I haven't played the Calvard arc games yet. Do they have a legit tank character who can tank and draw aggro?
I don't recall ever using a tank in Kiseki because the meta has always been get more turns than your opponent.

>>542245631
van is a tank yeah but even then you're better just building him for damage because bosses will never do enough damage to the point that you need to stack defence

Well I'll certainly use Yellow Sphere+, Blue Sphere+ and Tiger Heart+ in Remake and they boost DEF...

Mov boosting accessories are also useful and I prioritize mov over speed for survivability vs loewe solo but ultimately I was never able to pull it off even with good equipment. Once the clones sneak a hit in you are usually done. They are very fast

What a sweet conclusion to Anton's third hopeless romance.
I'm pretty sure that's an OST from the Sky games playing in this scene, but I couldn't tell you which one.

Quite surprising that apparently nobody has ever made a move on Sharon before, she seems to be such an easy, flirtatious girl on the outside.

Just got off the call with Kondo, the final arc's gonna feature one of Anton and Sharon's 10 kids as a major character.

>>542243862
And nobody will use it, what a waste of time doing it.

Arvin has done more damage to Falcom than any other fan has done, he's a cancer tumor that needs to be cut out.

retarded mod, the VAs are gonna be saying shit unrelated to the text and if you play on Japanese with subs you wouldn't want the mod anyway since you'd be a major poser

>>542253912
looking at some of those in that thread, yea it was millennial cringe and i don't miss it

>>542254113
Who plays with retarded westoid voices anyway. I always played with JP voices. So it will gonna be like back during my other playthroughs, just not MTL shit anymore.

>>542253912
Don't thank them too early, there was a project to inject english voice acting into FC and that died after Chapter 1 was completed. I for once am also cheering for Reddit though, I want Xstelle back.

>>542253912
do people really miss fanfiction this much

>>542254113
I just want Falcom's censorship scriptchanges which carried over to Gungho's MTL removed.

>>542254338
>english voice acting into FC
What English voices? You mean the remake voices into OG FC? That's retraded, the script wouldn't match.

>Gunghoes this threatened by a mod
kek

>>542254605
think he means the ancient fanproject to dub the originals

>>542254605
No, I'm talking about this. https://youtu.be/e67Q4LobWhA?si=M_y1TbJvM4Y8Oddj&t=18 A fan project that wanted to voice act most of the lines in the game unlike the lazy fucks over at GungHo and Falcom.

>>542254113
>and if you play on Japanese with subs you wouldn't want the mod anyway since you'd be a major poser
What does this even mean.
Actually don't tell me you're just going to write nonsense again anyway.

>>542254358
Only skyfags do who are nostalgic for bad games and bad translations

>>542255159
If you're using Japanese voices with subs you're a poser so you'd want GungHo's script anyway

>>542254358
they are missing that buffy the vampire slayer style whimsy in their jrpg

If real human beings using their knowledge to translate text and being paid by Falcom to release it under an official partnership is "fanfiction"; you inherently admit that a machine MTLing the script is below even that, it is thus "slopfiction".
You own yourself, yet again.

It's the same in their existing English dub.

Oh I knew it was fanfiction, I just didn't expect every single blogpost he made to be fanfiction.

GungHoPow will save us....

>>542264456
Nta, that’s just hatsuus mo. It’s how she and her xseed crew edit the games. Daybreak 1 is similar in that sense. Daybreak 2 is handled by a different guy but he’s also a geofront cronie so yea that one is pretty rough too not as many liberties as cs2 but still a good amount

We love Hatsuu here

>>542263493
What is wrong with this translation?

>>542265201
She looks like she wants to really validate herself into letting people know she’s fans of the games she localizes

>>542265463
She just shows off her merch lmao. Nothing about validation.

>>542265463
Hmmm

>>542265201
She's actually okay as a voice actor for sheep in Granblue.

>>542265791
Standards are pretty low if you think that but it’s your opinion

>>542265791
>>542266286

>>542260536
it's better quality than the remake made by "professional" voice actors
https://youtu.be/FnXcWcRfCeM?si=7AiFW_wEfyGAacQV&t=1391
If the demake had Estelle act like Bestelle I would have taken the bad voice acting. But they went out of their way to do the most Indian localization job possible. I miss Xstelle so much.

>>542266614
I know that the sky remake dub is bad. Trails dub has been bad since cs4 maybe cs3. Calvard arc they made it worse by hiring novices and more cheap actors and sky the first hired the badly casted actors anyways.

>>542266845
CS3 dub is great not sure what you mean.

>>542266845
How the fuck can NISA afford dubs though are the actors just super cheap or something?

>>542265353
In EN, the shopkeeper is making a "duuuh" joke about the book title.
In Japanese, he simply clarifies that the book is compilation throughout the empire generations.

>>542267460
Chiplock used to post here and even did the dub for the Rean coldsteel copypasta meme. He'd do shit for free.
Dunno about the rest though.

>>542267437
Either CS3 or CS4 was the covid dub where they couldn't get together in a studio and work with directors, they all recorded home and winged it.

>>542267676
Cs4 was the Covid dub. But honestly it’s mostly bad castings and recasting as well

>>542267823
Will never forgive them for recasting Osborne

Hopefully NISA can’t do worldwide release for Kai 2 so we can get fan translation for it

>>542267971
GungHo to the rescue
you will play your official MTL and you will like it

>>542264623
Gungho makes the worst translations.

>>542268174
Thank you Gungho-Sama. Please do all the remakes, and erase all the fanfiction.
The newplayers are too precious and need to be protected from the horrors of the old garbage localizations.

I mean I’m sure acctil has a faster method of translating and localizing than what NISA does. I assume falcom or acctil AI the jp script to translate then sends it to acctil for edits

Can't wait for Falcom to ditch Gungho.

My wife voices Elk.

>>542272358
Ah cool, I'm not sure who Elk is but that's cool

>>542272515
She also voiced Fiona and Ferris in Cold Steel 2.

Isn't she a Granblue voice actor? That's bigger than Kiseki.

Nobody.

>>542274041
Cold steel 1 and 2 Japanese version had a much lack of side character voice acting. It was so bad that Vulcan, duke Albarea, and marquis rogner didn’t have voice acting either. Scarlet im not sure if she had it or not. It’s one of the reasons plus(the message log is needed) cs1 and cs2 desperately need a remake

>>542274652
I remember Vulcan has voice acting last time I played CS1 in Japanese. Probably all his lines are voiced.

Why do people care about the EN dub. It's been bad for years, do we need to discuss it every thread

>>542274970
yes CS1, CS2 is where the problems started. But even CS1 had a lot of lack of Rean VA. Even Van had more in kuro 1 and 2

>>542275225
Use a filter instead of crying about it.

>>542275225
>why are there people with differing opinions? here's MY opinion, can we now end this debate???
lol

>>542275206
That top picture fits more to when /fg/ talks about cold steel

Better than NISA Trannys

The tragedy and privilege of Albert, who is clearly an incel, is that he's to young and dense to know about cuckolding.

At some point of his life he'll meet the monstrous pleasure of giving your girl to a better man, and then his life will forever be tainted, without a way back.

There is just this tear crawling down your cheeck as a memento to how things used to be.

>>542276867
They added Roido to that game, and not Kekvin as a playable character.The other Sky protag......

>>542277059
Joshua is in the game! You won!

>>542263358
Yeah it’s a persona style fanbase of hating every thing about the games while claiming to be fans it’s why this place gets raided sometimes.

>>542277398
what do you mean by this place gets raided?

>>542277205
Joshua is the heroine, the one that the protagonist, Estelle, claims

>>542277521
The people who defend the bad English translation and get mad at panties and outsiders from places like this who have raided it to start drama.

>>542277521
Nobody likes XSEED's fanfic here yet we get raiders nostalgic for it.

>>542277691
Actually it's kinda crazy that Tita and Kloe made it in over Kevin. L M A O

>the mirror characters have unique after-battle quotes with various characters as well
I kneel, falcom!! orz

>>542278534
Haha...

>>542278054
Kondos first victim....

Estellu could probably use the Leaf Cutter craft...

>>542279009
I don't like this look

>>542278534
You might want to bring as many mirror characters to the final boss as you can. You get bonus dialogue for each.

>>542279009
Wait a second.....

>>542279009
I look like this

No, you don't

he does

>>542277778
>>542278020
I see what you mean. But dont a good amount of people in this general love sky which means they were fine with the localization or neutral towards it since its one of the more beloved arcs?

>>542280014
This ain't reddit. They loved that, and it's a part of the identity.

>>542280014
We drove out the fake fans who like Sky.

Some do like it here. Some don't. I don't really care either way.

and last but not least, nobody likes cold steel anywhere on earth except india.

I care more about the spats. Will she have them in 2nd.....

vankid...

(Cold Steel II)
If I had to guess, there'll be a twist where the Arnor family weren't the "heroes" of the war they're protrayed as.
Duke Cayenne might've been onto something...

Interesting piece of lore anyways, it's nice how a seemingly random constellation like this party still contributes to the storytelling.

>>542279201
Will I miss out on the dialogue of the characters they're replacing?

>>542280970
>Will she have them in 2nd.....
Already confirmed that 2nd Estelle is censored.

>>542281058
I shall cope and hope anyway, haha....

>>542281053
No, you get all of the same scenes. Each character just has a small message at the end.

The Estelle wearing spats in Sky 2 remake is because she has a bunch of movement with crafts and animation scenes(fight with Anelace) where she does a lot of acrobatic shit so pantsu will show up very often. Plus I assume falcom did this also because they made Sky remake a cero b rating instead of cero c like they usually do. Or third possibility is they changed and are becoming more strict with fanservice

>>542281782
So what if they show

Ugh, boys. Am I right ladies?

(Cold Steel II)
Haha, the good ending.... ;_;

>>542281262
I see, might replay the finale in that case.
I don't feel like bringing Lloyd and Rixia into the final battle lol.

Speaking of Lloyd, I thought that the "Courageous Mirror" would summon Viscount Arseid, not Lloyd.
Imagine Laura's surprise.

>>542282028
Well exCUUUSSE ME!

wait a minute, fricking Loewe made it in but not Kevin

I could've swore Joshua had bullshit chi sensing powers like Rean, yet he can't sense those two eavesdroppers.

>>542282028
I do like these gender interactions. They can be cute. Too bad the majority of EN localizers hate it.

>>542229860 (OP)
I was having fun bumping shit until I got here. wasted money on a stupid mirror that doesn't work. i looked up a guide and it's nothing but waiting for rng to let you bump him without getting burned. wtf is this design?

>>542282747
You need adventure autism to get past it

Not in my version. Played the undubbed pirated version on PS3 with JP voices and they were definitely voiced. Probably just XSEED being cheap?

Estelle is only unhinged in the localiz-

The face she makes when she thinks Joshua likes legit onee-sans.

Emilia is a MILF.

Modern Falcom are unable to create badass female characters without presenting them as some cutesy clutz.

Prof Hamilton, who built the Hamiller Tube, is smarter than Elysium.

One of the above statements is not true; the other two are.

Well, well, well... if it isn't Satan. Haha.

Out of batteries and too lazy to find a cable, will have to save up what little juice is in my controller for combat.

>Liberl was subverted by merchants
Totally organic government change. Yep.

>>542287597
until one disgruntled war veteran decided enough was enough

>>542287597
I spot Captain Amalthea.

Final Kiseki arc needs to be in Eastern Zemuria. A mix of Wild West and medieval dark fantasy. It's normal that villages get raided by slavers or sex/pain cultists. There is no justice, just torture and executions. Protagonist is some kind of Spriggan, but ultra-violent and sadistic. There are bracers, but they are similar to the pre-Heresy WH40K Night Lords. It's important that it's really going to be a badass dark science-fantasy setting.

If you don't like it: Just was on the phone with this beta male who runs OpenAI. He said he's desperate to ruin video games too as part of his grift and that I'll be able to generate the entire game. Apparently that also means I can play Kai without my recordings getting ruined by a few remaining Korean text strings.

>>542253417
That's nothing. Kloe va Is from yawara. Kloe is a grandma. She voice acted an anime when I was an infant.

>>542287597
Merchants and artisans are the usual middle class of most societies, yes.

seeing anelace and richard in sky 1st made me realize that im just tired of katanawank now

How to fix Kiseki:

Renne and Rean are now the same character, Reanne

>>542255478
>>542255254

throw in nadia and you have reanadienne, the ultimate writers pet character

Careful, that's a concept that his mind struggles to comprehend

Trails of subhumans

>>542288975
You mean the petite bourgeoisie? Yeah, of course they wouldn't like the aristocracy since they have the money but not the prestige.

>>542282461
It's fine as long as it's insulting boys

Why does the Ys vs Trails game only have Sky characters in it and Lloyd? Is it because young Renne only interacted with the Sky and Crossbell casts? Also no other Crossbell characters?

Big oofin' yikeserino, next you'll say Rufus' redemption arc is totally earned and wasn't an ass pull

>>542290141
theres plenty of characters i dont like who arent writers pets you're just mad cause i said a character you like is one (most likely rean cause its always reanfags who cry)

>>542290393
Funny how Rean is the first person you thought of when I talked about your misunderstanding of writers pet. You are too angry and salty to actually judge a game on its own merit but instead focus on having hate boners for certain ones rather than give them a chance

Fuck don't tell me I needed to get caught to fill out my bestiary in Zeiss...

>>542290620
no cause its always a reanfag who cries about "well you just didn't play the game" or some such nonsense you made yourself pretty obvious i guarantee you would not have replied had i not named rean

>saw his bro in a dress
No wonder Loewe was eager to kill him on the Glorious.

>>542290743
Rather than stating how the characters you listed are writers pets you just go on and lash out on “rean fans” because the character existing causes you to have an inability to consume a game because rather than playing it your too focused on being angry at something that isn’t even the majority of kai. Your critically thinking is reduced because of your bias

>>542291023
its interesting how you can call renne or cao or nadia a writers pet and one cares but the second you name rean its an instant melty kek

Joshua isn't male
We checked

>>542291051
Cao isn’t a writers pet, he unfortunately just has to exist because he’s the conduit between aso and heiyue. Compare that to renne where she gets her same story told multiple times in multiple games and repeats that “she has Estelle and Joshua” over and over. Nadia and swin have had their own route in every game they have appeared. Rean as well but he’s an mc plus most people criticizing Rean being in Kai already hated his guts so it’s a biased response. Cao isn’t as writers pet like as those three

>>542291051
Nta, but I complained about Nadia and renne all the time. I think renne is getting stale. She has the same problem Rean with repetitive dialogue. Nadia and swin I didn’t like em in Kuro 2 but Kai they kinda work with Kevin but it’s a fact that Kevin did take vans intended content for Kai

There should be a 4spg posted by a fucking monster (a real monster, Creepy Sheep or whatever) which tells Van to hunt humans in a gay bathhouse for Middle Eastern immigrants.

Van should be outraged by it and insist that the 4spg won't be accepted; and after several attempts the monster sues Arkride Solutions at some bizarro E.U. court saying that he has a monopoly on the market because he's the only Spriggan in Calvard, maybe Zemuria, and has to take the case.

As far as the rest of the planet is concerned; the rest of mankind wasn't eaten by the Titans beyond the force field seal.

???

i hope kai 2 has another 40 4spgs about scammers i never get tired of them

Name my band.

status update: I noticed that some areas of the Reverie Corridor had more enemies in my combat list than others, so I reentered the place and realized that it's randomly generated anew each time you enter the Old Schoolhouse.
Each corridor has a total of 14 enemy types, and you need to generate the four areas in differing orders in order to see all of them. But I managed to fill my combat notebook at last.

>>542293336

This is a report by Na-Chan~ how the first time with Su-Chan~ went~~

At first Su-Chan~ didn't want to undress, so Na-Chan~ had to tie him up and undress him~~ His dick had the size and look of a dead shrimp~~ Na-Chan~ had to fight for a long time to make it erect and it turned into something resembling a broken match stick~~

Na-Chan~ inserted it into the worst onahole she could find, where Su-Chan~ lasted a whopping three seconds~~

Na-Chan~ then pumped a lot of chili extract into Su-Chan's urethra, ball sack and over 4L into his ass~~

Because Na-Chan~ wanted a token of his love and didn't get his seed, Na-Chan~ pumped out Su-Chan's bone marrow and had it for dinner~~ Na-CHan~ replaced it with molten lead~~ Na-Chan~ is now going to flay Su-Chan's face from the bone and wear it as a mask~~ Now please excuse Na-Chan~, Na-Chan~ is going to make out with Baron Bear~~

>>542293336
Nice blog fucking attention whore retard.

>>542290148
Enami is the worst artist that has worked on Falcom games.

>>542290620
People don't hate rean because he's cool they hate him because he causes other people around him to not be cool (emotionally not physically). Every girl in class 7 wanting his dick is not cool (it makes them selfish whores) every male character being okay with this is not cool (it makes them doormat cucks) having a gigantic harem is not cool (it makes it so everyone interesting has the same personality and goal, to fuck rean)

It homogenizes a group of interesting characters.

I don't feel so good...

>>542291503
Cao. And I say this as someone who doesn't like him or his posters, is the unfortunate hate sink for falcom dispelling suspension of disbelief on criminals and removing consequences and cause and effect in their game. Objectively it's no different than the protagonists, who don't act like teenagers either. The difference maker IMHO is stakes. Take for example it'sokaywhenskydoesit.jpg

Sky is a game mostly about averting a war. Every character that gets beat up and killed (unconscious for now) is the protagonists saving them from the consequences blowing up into a war. Everything about their desperation is predicated on war being bad because people die when killed. Then in comes cold steel which does the same fucking thing but everyone hates it. Why? I doubt most retards can articulate this but trivializing the war by making it so the hero can avoid the deaths of soldiers or civilians completely undercuts the dramatic tension of the previous games goals and makes the characters look like idiots for being concerned about a war at all.

Cao occupies another similar niche. If crime isn't that big of a deal why is everyone concerned about it?

Why are you seeking out trannies, anon? Is Quatre not enough?

>>542299849

>>542300531

>>542300616
Quatre identifies as male. Quatre is a tranny.

When I first learned about a "Grandmaster" at the end of the original Sky, I assumed it would be a dude looking similar to this.

Turns out it's actually the spirit of Estelle's mon turned into a holo by Prof Hamilton so Epstein can make his 8365th Schrödinger observation from the fifth plane of the 60th para reality on the 911th timeline.

>>542300674
you didnt play the games

>>542301204

>>542301249
The most stupid*

(Cold Steel II)
She's growing as a person... this is the first time she's ever cried.

>>542301249
grandmaster is someone that sometimes gives a push to humanity to help them reach their potential or be able to overcome laegarn. For example Grandmaster(not confirmed just assumption based on VA) helped rean discover the method in which the true ending would happen if you didnt do tovals quest in cs4 on your own.

Agnes sacrifice in kai is showcasing humanities potential as Simeon said and campanella even says that what she did was crazier than what occured in other loops so I dont think agnes is grandmaster, grandmaster wants to see if her efforts can steer human potential into overcoming laegarn

(Cold Steel II)
ToT

>>542301609
very good scene its what made the first half of cold steel arc(CS1 and CS2) have such a nice ending thats both sad and happy and is a nicew conclusion to old class 7 in their schooldays

It's actually Dorothy
She got lost while heading back to Liberl and ended up back in the first loop, where she stopped the Great Collapse from wiping out the ENTIRE world instead of just civilization by taking a picture of it (it was camera shy)
She tried to get back but people kept following her as she continued to bumble her way into different schemes
Now she's forced to play along with the role as some kind of puppermaster role even though she has absolutely no idea what she's doing

Don't believe me?

Look at Ouroboros' plans again, see how they keep winging it time and time again? It's not bad writing, it's a leader that has no idea what she's doing and keeps bumbling her way through the loops, trying to not make things worse (and they keep getting worse)

>Crow still watches over them
Bros...
Class VII grew on me more than I'd like to admit.
What an ending, I feel like crying alongside them. I can't believe that our schoolyear is really supposed to be over.

>>542301830

Why does Elliot look like a child pretending to be an adult lol.

>>542301830
Forgot to reply.
That whole final battle taking place while uplifting music blasts from the speakers was such a grandiose finale to their tale.
It's just what I needed now after the Vermillion Palace victory was taken from them...

>>542302464
pretty much. Its bittersweet and works. CS3 addresses Reans whole "being a government lapdog" very nicely so even though there are some different writers and some outsourcing some of the core themes and challenges of his character is still transitioned nicely from CS2 to CS3 so it will be good. CS3 does good on making sure you know that what happens in CS2 does affect him

(Cold Steel II)
kek, BRUTAL Fie!! Not appropriate!

>>542265201
God Hatsuu was so attractive during her XSEED days.

And that's it, I finished Trails of Cold Steel II.
I spent so much time on this epic journey that it's hard to believe that it's really over... I won't be able to return to Class VII on my days off anymore.
In a way, I'm graduating alongside them, and I love this game for making me feel that way.

Between the conquest of the Vermillion Castle, Chancellor Osborne's return from beyond the grave, Rean becoming a national hero over his exploits in the annexation in Crossbell, his fateful meeting with Lloyd and Rixia, the final free day at Trista and, eventually, our adventures in the Reverie Corridor, I couldn't say how often I thought that the game would soon be over. But now that I've reached the ending, I have no regrets. I feel like every major character and NPC plotline was resolved in a satisfying way, and even without cliffhanger, I'd love to know how this tale continues.

If I had to rate the game right here and now, it'd be somewhere between Trails to Azure and Trails in the Sky SC as my #2 game in the series.

The vtumor curse got her

Do you fondly look back onto your schooldays, /fg/?

>>542302751
Rean's development and the depiction of his perpetual depression and self loathing are what intrigues me the most about Cold Steel.
A decent protagonist can carry an arc on his own, and Rean definitely fits the bill. I can't wait to find out how he develops throughout the years as he lives with the guilt of annexing Crossbell for the greater good.

i once heard japanese writing described as a flower that never blooms and nowhere have i ever felt this more keenly than playing trails

>>542305094
No catch.

>>542305094
Singa did the credits song

>>542305094
The catch is Falcom will learn nothing since it's a faithful remake based on 20 year old writing and design. The little input from nu-Falcom is by far the worst part of the game.

>>542305259
don't forget to watch the NG+ black records stuff on youtube or something

I know who the Grandmaster is

How many old men, hairy men, and Joshuas did Renne rack up when she first showed up in Kiseki

>>542306757
IF I can find a clip with jp dub, why the hell did everyone upload the english dubbed one??

>>542308527
It was only voiced in english when Xseed went back to add more VA to all the silent shit. Falcom never bothered

>>542308527
lol I’m surprised you play in jp voice allocation like xseed took waaay too many liberties that it would have distracted me too much to use jp voice. But cs3 and cs4 are much better they don’t deviate as hard as xseed so you should be fine plus there’s more Va on those games than in cs1 and cs2

>>542306757
>>542308527
>Rosine is a Squire
Damn, that REALLY shouldn't have been new game+ content lol.
Very nice plotline, thoughever. I bet that's going to be relevant.
>>542309728
I'd rather have it unvoiced than tarnished by english voice acting...

>>542310327
fufu...

According to steam achievements, more players have read the black records than spent the final bonding event with Machias, Elliot or Gaius. lol

>>542310492
What is Kondo planning.....

>>542311212
Crashing this series.... with no sales!

>>542310491
I liked cold steel dub but after cold steel starting with daybreak the English dub did get worse. So for me every arc besides cold steel(including reverie it’s pretty much cs5) will be jp voice

>>542311298
the dub was passable in cs1 and 2 but cs3 and 4s recasts were all trash and any time i had to listen to kea or renne made me me want to kill ymself

>>542311249
Masaka.....

>>542311414
I liked Keas voice but I hated Rennes and Estelles. I wish they dubbed the Crossbell games.....

Haha... I'd take one of those.

>>542311414
Yea trails dub doesn’t do good with side characters. Bringing back sky cast for nostalgia purpose was a bad move. But yea kea and renne weren’t it as well. I really do hope for a cold steel 1-4 remake so there’s more voice acting because uchiyama barely got opportunity to voice act for Rean as much as an mc should

>>542311520
The /v/ Towaspammer is one of the saddest individuals on earth. Hope it isn't one of you fags. Genuinely feel bad for what went wrong in anon's life for him to maintain a Towa thread there at all times.

His love for her is too strong...I can't compete with him....

They didn't hold back at all in Sara's bonding events.
It wouldn't seem out of place if they started fucking right then and there, she clearly wants it.

>>542311716
I find it quite charming.

>>542311574
they probably would have if falcom did their usual half assed jp dub job on it originally but since chara ani actually dubbed the main story (which any post-2000s game really should do) theres no way cheap ass nisa would pay for it

>>542312198
>I find it quite charming.
Yeah, because it's you.

>>542312198
She groomed him!

you already beat the game do you really need to keep posting on cooldown? have some restraint

>Millium's and Altina's origins are only and exclusively brought up in a missable event that is unlocked after picking her for the final bonding event, completing the final dungeon and then speaking to her at the dorm

I guess it's fine since you can watch it in the menu after completing the game, but that's only if you've seen her final bonding event before.

I didn't notice anything bad. I did, however, hate Estelles voice. It sounded like she had a stuffed nose.

Now that I'm truly and utterly done with CS2, let me rant about its music for a bit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GksfPmkdTAc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dieFXCB-7Mk
Even if you didn't like Crow for whatever reason, you've got to admit that the tracks dedicated to him are toptier.
'Blue Destination' is this generation's 'Silver Will' and 'Azure Arbitrator'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbDinyt3VCc
How can a song as uplifting and epic be the final boss theme?! It's amazing, this track and the atmosphere surrounding the "final trial" made it feel more like a friendly bout at the end of a journey than a battle for life and death.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBZ2vA9D2RA
I really appreciate the ED theme for incorporating leitmotifs of various other tracks, including (but not limited to) the OPs of Cold Steel I and II. It's a perfect song to conclude the tale of Class VII.
The photographs showing our class members' life after graduation are a nice touch as well.

All in all I'm very satisfied with the auditory direction of this game; Cold Steel II definitely improved on Cold Steel I's performance in that regard. Dunno why people keep saying that the music in Trails games fell off after Azure.

>auditory direction
Talk like a human, blogschizo.

>>542314536
People say the music off after cs2. Whoever said it fell off after azure had a stroke

>>542314752
I'm taking this with a grain of salt.
People also told me that CS1 and CS2 would be bad. after all.

>>542315148
I’m not saying there are no good OSTs of course cs3 and cs4 still have some of the most beloved OSTs in there. I’m saying that overall the ost quality doesn’t compare if you average them out

>>542314646
Aii blood how dis for dat human talk ma G. Y'all on sum buggin shit talking bout "oh talk like a human" man da fuck outta here u typing on a muthafuckin keyboard ol bitch ass nigga.

>>542315398
No one uses "auditory direction" in natural speech, nor does anyone describe music that way.

Westerners who don’t watch that much anime playing trails is so weird to me. You would think something super tropey like trails would not appeal to them yet they keep playing. They hate it yet they still keep playing it’s weird. No wonder falcom got rid of a good amount of those for calvard games to appeal to westerners

>>542290821
He was just jealous of Estelle

>>542314646

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/auditory

it’s there in Sky and crossbell but tourists don’t bitch about those

>>542316429
People do bitch about it in Crossbell. Specifically, Azure.
>>542316004
They play it because its the MCU of games.

>>542314536
That's not what a rant is.

>>542316552
Not as much you don’t hear a lot of bitching about azure. Way less than Angelica or player romance choice or Reans harem flirting and teasing

>>542315148
>People also told me that CS1 and CS2 would be bad. after all.
I mean, your blogposting made it pretty evident that you enjoy hypeslop, so you're already off the deep end.

>>542316750
Most people drop the series before reaching Azure.

>>542316617
I wanted to rant, but there's nothing to rant about.

>>542317063
No way, they drop it at cs4 or cs2. Those are the two most polarizing games

>>542316750
Not as much, but it still happens.

>>542316552
I guess trails being the MCU of games does make sense it’s a unique series. It’s just surprising people are willing to deal with stuff they really hate or disgusts them. I can’t understand playing something that causes that much discomfort to someone if they feel that way

How long are you going to reply to yourself over people you imagined up in your head

>>542317292
The people who genuinely don't like it left long ago or are here just waiting for the ending. Or are playing the remake

>>542317078
Did you like the civil war and the Crossbell section?

>>542317512
Yeah, the civil war was a great payoff to CS1's slow buildup and an actually consequential

>>542317491
Anon in denial that people can talk about the games that he doesn’t play

We need more spinoffs. I want a new fighting game or something!

>>542317493
I mostly just watch the release streams. Reverie burned me the fuck out and I haven't had the will to catch up with Calvard. The Sky remake was great, though, but it only made me think more about how the series could've turned out had it not been for all the weird changes in creative direction circa Crossbell.

>>542318136
I disagree crossbell was nice cold steel 2 and 3 is where things got into a weird direction

>>542317512
>Did you like the civil war
Yeah, the civil war was a great payoff to CS1's slow buildup and an actually consequential conflict for once.
I suppose that the stakes are lowered now that the war's over on the surface, but I hope that the series continues onwards in that vein. Named characters dying left and right made the war feel much more threatening than, say, the Red Constellation's raid on Crossbell City.
>and the Crossbell section?
As much as I loved seeing Lloyd and Rixia again, the Geofront section reminded me of how happy I am to be in Erebonia now. Dungeon design really wasn't Crossbell's forte...
I love the implications of Rean being a national hero for Erebonia, and an object of scorn for every Calvardian and Crossbellan from here on out.

>>542318136
I've enjoyed pretty much all the games I've played, so I can't relate, haha.....

>Reddits unironically inserting the XSNEED script into the 1st remake
why tho
unironically hope gungho c&d's them

>>542318747
Can they actually?

>>542317891
I want a tactical RPG spin-off where you have to conquer Erebonia as Dreichels the Lionheart.

Oh I get it we're pretending to be Gungho shills

>>542318975
Based....

>>542318308
I like Crossbell a lot, but I'm not gonna pretend it didn't set a bunch of shitty precedent for the series going forward: the massive upswing in tech and modernity fucking up the setting, the proto-bonding events relegating interesting character backstories in mutually exclusive missable scenes, and the roughshod state it left the overarching story in by making the first half of CS a foregone conclusion.

Modernization is a theme of the series, though. Crossbell is supposedly to be half super high-tech, half old, dusty rural areas.

Why do they do shit like this, they do it in every Cold Steel game too and it's so odd, you need to play like 10 other games before this to understand what's happening, most people would already know who this is supposed to be

>>542319754
Idk. It just bloats the already massive scripts.

>>542319754
I mean there are trails fans who don’t really talk about trails everyday and only consume the game on release so they would forget. Or they wanted to add a air of mystique and excitement then once the introduction happens they do the name drop when the party themselves talks to her

>>542319661
It wasn't supposed to be that hardcore with it, though. Kondo mentioned that the series was originally conceived with a "steampunk-like" setting in mind, but newer developers at Falcom wanted to chase all the weird sci-fi fantasy trends happening around the PSP era, so they upped the modernity a few more notches.

>>542319195
I mean even Sky the ancient city had amazing “tech” of their kind. Plus the scale has to grow larger from all of zemuria to space. Technology increasing actually does contribute to the sin value that laegarn uses to calculate when to initiate the grand reset. That and how successful humanity is against the septerrion of steel

>>542320089
Yea. I do agree it's gone off the rails.

>>542320089
Tio my beloved...

More like "gone of the Trails.

She is perfect.

>>542322004
She sure is (horny)

>>542319754
Not really.
You can start with Kuro 1 and then play older games to fill in the blanks.
Start Wars did it with releasing 4,5,6 first and then 1, 2, 3.
Or Lord of the rings trilogy was first released before Hobbit.

Finally the faggot blog poster can fuck off

What's with young blonde girls with an obsession with older men?

Fucking hell.

In Japanese, she specifically mention that Estelle has hints of the Helix style, and Joshua has the Void style.

I'm about to draw Nui Sorciere as a Trails in the Sky character. Any suggestions on whose clothes should I use?

>>542324758
how about no clothes

>>542324758
Give her Fies outfit from CS2 but make the green pink

>>542324798
I can do that, but I can't post it here.
>>542324893
It needs to be a Sky character because she's playing the Sky Remake. It's not everyday we got a minor celebrity to promote a Trails game.

>>542311716
Towacutest anon here.
No, that's not me. I don't visit/post on that shithole.

>>542325047
Okay. Give her Scheras one

>>542323604
nostalgiafags are the most annoying part of any fandom because all their motivation is for playing the new games they hate is just sunk cost and not having anything better in their life to do

An odd question: does anyone else remember there being a globe in one of the classrooms of Jenis in the original FC? Because I am not sure if such a thing was removed from 1st or not.

>>542312701
>>542312849
This is a series that, if you don't like missing stuff (including important stuff like characters' ultimate weapons), you absolutely need to either use a guide or autistically speak to every NPC after every plot event, which extends your playthrough times to well over 100 hours.
I don't fault anyone for using guides for this series. It has shit like the book you need for an ultimate weapon in FC... the game urges you to hurry to help fucking orphans who just got attacked, but you actually need to run in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION at that very moment to grab a book from a girl sitting on a bridge and if you don't do this, you miss out on an ultimate weapon.
Absolutely ridiculous shit that it's best to just rely on a guide for if you don't want your playthroughs extending well over 100 hours.
I give mad respect to the anons who do autistically speak to every NPC after every plot event, though. You have to do a lot of fucking walking to do this.

>>542318323
Anelace-senpai will win over Rean-kun

>>542326436
>the game urges you to hurry to help fucking orphans who just got attacked, but you actually need to run in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION at that very moment to grab a book from a girl sitting on a bridge
The line the girl gives even hints that the devs realize how fucking ridiculous this is, saying she's giving the book because life is full of contradictions, like running in the opposite direction when being urged to hurry up and go save the orphans from being attacked.

>>542326559
Haha

>>542325587
Check the club rooms, there is one in one of them.

>>542326823
Cute

Not so fast!

>>542327409
lol meant for >>542327235
whoops

>>542327235
It's her fault......she's the one who started the headpats....what has she done....

>>542326823
I sweat if he actually rizzes her in kai 2 skytroons will seethe till they explode

>>542327764
She won't show up. My cope was killed last year haha.

Shizuna, Rean, and Anelace threesome

>>542327938
you realize her asset was created they can easily bring back her and richard. plus they have means to show up such as yun ka fai and reins being on the field investigating.

People who thought gaius was going to be in kai 1 were delusional into thinking falcom cares about that character. But anelace has been requested a lot

All part of the plan....

>>542327764
Sorry Reanspic but Anelace is for the girlies. She's the one who will be rizzing Altina, Fie, and Towa away from the haremslop black vertex and bring them back into some proper yuri loving. Oh and she'll end having Shizuna swooning over her too like >>542327409 and take her away from that indecisive prick Van

>>542328116
all are vankids this delusional and fanfiction like? Wow, they for sure dont play the games they are a fan of. Plus my comment said "if" but of course vankids and skytroons cant read so I should have known

>>542328089
>you realize her asset was created they can easily bring back her and richard.
>Bring back Anelace and Richard
>Only for them to end up being even more Eight Leaves wanking and Rean glazing

>>542328089
Japa voted for him to return, too. Not that I expect either to show up. Hope gets you killed after all.

>>542328116
The POWER of a girl....aieee

>>542328521
#18.

honestly all you faggots are retarded, Kevin and Rean didnt even get that much content plus kevins the one who stole Vans content making his route boring and padded as shit. Plus reans route was just pure fanservice. Both rean and kevin and nadia/swin got wanked hard you dumbasses every mc is shit in kai

>>542328325
Shut up vankidfag, you keep thinking anyone who criticizes your beloved rean is a vankid and you keep seeing vankids in your dreams so hence you being called a vankidfsg.

KLOOOOOEEEEEEEE

>>542328494
vankid cant see the screen and see rean got 1/3 of a route. Other characters can still show up look at CS4 with all the people they brought back that didnt show up in CS3. I swear skytroons and vankids only play their arc games only

>>542328783
Yea. Still on the list.
>>542328926
I mean, yea. They had the shortest routes.

>>542328325
Just like Reanspics were saying "i-i-i-if Rean will totally take Shizuna away from Van in Kai right"? LMAOOO. Sorry, but Anelace has thankfully shown no interest in moids and is only interested in cute girls.

>>542328521
Funny how 2 games later, most of these highly requests have shown up (12/20)

>>542328494
> Eight Leaves wanking and Rean glazing
I expect this
Esp with the BLACKEDgod shit

>>542329121
they are not going to bring back every character from that list at once in kai. They will probably bring some more from that list in kai 2. Your expectations were fucked if you thought every person there was going to be in kai 1

>>542323604
>Nu-falcom
As i was watching the Agate vs Loewe during chapter 3 i was half expecting someone to just show up and interrupt the fight.

>>542329237
Only Shizuna uses that tho

>>542329426
vankids dont play the games remember they see Rean and stop reading the text because their face is sooo red like a tomato they black out and skip the dialogue

>Chadstelle and co show up in Crossbell
>Doesn't steal spotlight
>Bannings has a short cameo in Cold Sneed 2
>Doesn't steal the spotlight, just kino cameo
>Bannings only mentioned at the very end of CS3
>Kino fistbump
>All the lads show up for CS4
>Nobody steals the spotlight, just kino additions to a kino story
>Kai happens
>Even Lila a store merchant steals the spotlight from Van

Bros...

Ykf uses it too I think
>>542329537
Oh

>>542329426
It's a branch of the school, more will show up

where's your media literacy

>>542327062
Found it, thanks.

For all three of you playing Ys & Titties, here's a quick and easy way to grind EXP and cash:
>set difficulty to Nightmare, higher difficulty = higher payout
>go into Free Mode > 1 Player
>pick your char, set handicap to 5
>pick 3 Misheras b/c she's squishy af and her AI is dogshit. set their handicap to 1, and make sure everyone's on a different team so they don't always attack you
>for stage probably any is fine, I personally use Segram Flame Shrine since it's small and surrounded by damaging lava that the AI loves to fling itself into
>make sure level is set to None or you won't get shit
>???
>profit
The actual rewards scale based on opponent level, also you might get less depending on how much damage you did and if you actually dealt the finishing blow. At any rate it's way faster and more convenient than rerunning Galsis, plus you still get item drops by doing this.

>>542329945
I coulda sworn it was supposed to be some super special hard style to learn or something. Did they hint at more users showing up?

>Coldshit 4
>Kino story
Bait used to be believable

>>542329669
I will say routes being a thing does work for van since that means aso can do their missions without interruptions from other games party members. CS4 you had a lot of old class 7 people lose screentime because of characters like tita or randy even people like duvalie and sharon

>>542316004
I love the animeness, and I don't understand why people think xstelle is anti anime loc tranny slop. Estelle is a profoundly silly character. She talks in a weird loanword filled accent way, has a dumb catchphrase, makes sailor moon speeches, and is unfailingly the instigator of most slap stick moments in the game. There's nothing xsneed did that made sky less anime. Less anime would be stuff like nisa that removes anything problematic. Estelle in the anime literally molests people as a gag. And ultimately, if I had a single reason to say why I like xstelle it would be because she reminds me of another twin tailed protagonist who is snarky and ultimately a boke.
>>542316429
See
>>542299079
Estelle's party is 8 people. Only 2 of which could be considered in harem. Reans is literally multiple digits. Laura, fie, Emma, alfin, Elise, Alisa, musse, juna, altina, towa, and crow if you want to count him

>>542330523
Its my least favorite CS game but Im surprised how well regarded it is. Sure its divisive but people that love it really love it. Plus most people that hate CS4 tend to overexaggerate or misunderstand plot points. Im sure lots of people still think osborne was controlled by the curse and wasnt doing it on his own will

>>542330523
Look man, if you don't like the kino jailbreak, the kino team ups then the fake out kino ending

you're just not a fan and that's okay, no need to be mad and seethe

>>542330658
I will say some of the harem bonding events arent that lovey dovey and are nice for the character but the problem is most people are too pissed about the harem existing to actually watch those. So I do think CS haters are the biggest overreactors in the fandom. Sure maybe it hinders potential but you and them act like the characters got nothing which is just a false opinion

>>542329285
I don't have expectations anymore.

>>542331221
good. the fact that you dont have expectations means that you will actually enjoy kai 2

>>542331018
>I do think CS haters are the biggest overreactors in the fandom.

Who is that, anon?

>>542329053
Lechter is so lucky...

>>542331437
skytroons and their sunkcost makes me sad to see

>>542329160
Very few people care about Shizuna "getting with" Rean. They just thought that since her arc is related to him and have nothing with Van, that she'd actually do something related to Rean instead of running away from the duel to suck Van's cock.
But I forgot, Van being a black hole that drains everyone around him from personality and interests in a way that Rean could never is now a good thing.

>>542331680
Zamn he gets THAT!?

>>542331975
they clearly hate what the series has become, some of them even hate the remake.. yet they stick around...

>>542332151
Rean vs Van the battle of black holes

>>542329669
Says a lot about how little kusoeaters think of Van.
The moment someone else appears and gets attenteion in the story, they're stealing the spotlight from Van. Clearly he's just not that interesting.

soo how can people do this routine daily? high autism power?

Van is good he just needs the catalyst for his arc to continue which is agnes sacrifice. You guys are complaining about an arc thats not done yet. kuro 2 really fucked with you guys' head

Van's Final Episode in Rean's 6th game coming to you soon

>>542331975
>muh sun kost

>>542332706
its sad you gotta go thru that. Maybe you will pick up a different hobby the moment you learn to read well enough play something else besides trails and misunderstand everything because you want to blame it on harem

Feels like Agnes should have been the mc but got cold feet and made another dude instead

Van is just really Vaan in disguise

Haha..

>>542338596
you tried. it's nyover.

>>542338596
good effort anon

>>542338606
are all skytroons this immature and use mom jokes. So are skytroons just a bunch of juvenile retards? no wonder estelles autism was relatable to you

I'll take that as a no.

what will they call the Zero remake.

jesus someone is making an xseed restoration mod for the transaltions to overtake gunghos LMAO I didnt realize xseeds script was that loved wtf. jesus the fandom is insane sometimes when it comes to sky

>>542338974
The Xseed version is half the reason why people outside Asia liked Sky. It's also a giant meme, so...

>>542338951
Zero no kiseki........... ZA FIRSTOOO!!!!!

>>542339103
Kek. I want them to call it Azure 1. Have one name for Crossbell.

>>542339078
I get that but then they are bascially saying that without xseed they wouldnt like sky which is saying that the original game is bad it just feels so backwards to me. I thought people enjoyed it because of the story and characters and estelle being a women

>>542338974
Extremely vocal minority. Nobody outside of r/falcom knows or cares about the previous translation. They played Sky 1st remake and enjoyed it.

>Same hair color as Grimcat
>Same eye color
>Same build too
This is like that Azure Siegfried shit Coldsteel 3 tried to pull, they didn't even bother trying to hide it well! >:[

>>542339203
They're attached to the only version they knew.

>>542339517
yea thats what I was thinking. I honestly think the translation gungho did was nice for people who played with jp voice because it felt better to read and it didnt feel like they added too many sentences or words that was not said. Daybreak 2 had too many inserted dialogue that I didnt like plus the jokes werent funny that the localizers were trying to do they were trying too hard to be funny

Coping hour I see

>>542339650
No? The party caught on nearly instantly
Which was the whole point

>>542331667
See>>542289414

I wonder if Gungho steps in. Sets a bad precedent for 2nd and 3rd if they end up doing those.

>It's just a mod
Yeah.. Must suck to have your work overwritten like that though lmao.

They probably don't care as long as people buy it.

it's not gonna change much at all. if it sells more they'll be happy and the translation will still be gungho for sky 2nd. realistically it's like +50 sales at max

I'm reporting the xseed script modder to the president of the United States under hate speech. Expect an EO soon.

Is anyone else kind of annoyed Lloyd never uses guys Tonfa after Azure? He was using them in the epilogue so it's kind of odd every game after has him use the original ones, unless they have it as a weapon skin and I just missed it

>>542341973
the remake will fix it
2030 trust the plan

>>542338974
It’s not it’s just the usual suspects who view everything as a culture war.

>>542341973
Lloyd is his own man. He shall use own

>>542339706
As someone who likes both xsneed and even basic bitch andeste estelle I can't see why anyone would tolerate gung hos execution of the script, va direction, and missing voice lines for the main quest. It's inferior to the raw Japanese Evo in every single way. There's absolutely no comparison at all. Granted part of that is falcoms fault. But they added insult to injury. To this day the Evo script will be the definitive way to listen to the story over again. Though I don't suppose anyone in this thread likes this game to listen to the story over again after playing it once or twice. You really don't see many people on /v/ doing that sort of thing. These days plenty of people don't even play a game with the volume turned on.

Right. Regardless how you feel about the XSEED translation, the Gungho one in which they clearly just ran it through an AI translator is absolutely pathetic.
Falcom is just as stupid for letting it happen. I assure you the entire conversation was like "Okay who can translate this shit the fastest and cheapest way possible?" and all Gungho had to do was probably just raise their hand and get the job. If Falcom did any quality control they'd probably have learned there's not even a real fucking translator over there.

Keep telling yourself that

This is why Falcom used Gungho
Because all the blame on the shitty script goes to Gungho LMFAO

Odds I finish Cold Steel 1 nord highlands
Evens I skip to cold steel 3

Get to it buddy

Why does Falcom not hire more people and do everything themselves

When will you start CS3? Will you take a break? Ironically there's a timeskip between CS2 and CS3 so it would fit.

I mean if I had to choose between gungho translation and daybreak 1 and 2 and potentially horizons then I would choose gungho. At least with that translation you know the true characters and their personality and nuances. With xseed and NISA they sometimes take stuff away to insert humor that wasn’t there before or make a character who seems calm seem sarcastic or punched up. You may like fanfiction but normal people enjoy falcoms work not your fanfiction

Well people here like the localization

Falcom keeping of dropping NISA is dependent on whether or not wants Kai 2 to have worldwide release or not. NISA is not capable of that. So if they can’t then Falcom might use someone else for that. I bet NISA was pissed they didn’t get to localize sky the first because it wouldn’t have been able to be worldwide release

XStelle is pure early 00s tsundere without most of the tsun.

>>542346819
we've heard you the first 500 times man lol

How much new content YS X Proud Nordics has (in terms of content and gameplay hours) ?
Is there anyone here who played it?

>>542348328
not enough content to be a full price release

>>542348328
From everything I've seen about it I'm guessing it'll be 10-15 hours if doing 100%.

Oh, exploitable!
