I'm glad I put off getting into Trails

No way will this live up to the quality of the original.

im good

Uh oh retard alert

Same. Not planning on playing it any time in the near or distant future. I'm very happy with this decision.

>>3830586 (OP)
Kill yourself, zoomer. The original is way better than the remake and I refuse to buy this slop or play it at all. It looks atrocious and lacks the moody aesthetic of the original by using the ugly bright colours.

>>3830713
all trails game are slop

>>3830586 (OP)
If you haven't gotten into trails then DON'T GET INTO TRAILS! It is a gigantic waste of time.

>>3830586 (OP)
Don't. Seriously. Or stop at the end of Sky.
>>3830636
Bad call.

I would say there's a close to 100% chance they're already working on a remake of Second Chapter. Do you think they'll also remake The 3rd? How about Zero and Azure?

>>3830586 (OP)
I haven't played the demo, but everything I've seen makes it look like a flawless remake. It's exactly what I wanted it to be.

>>3830636
Didn't they add fast travel and markers on your map to show you where items and key NPCs are? That'll cut down on time significantly.

>>3830586 (OP)
actually pleasantly surprised by the demo all of my fears were pretty much addressed like the pc port and the ost
hope the rest of the game is good

>>3831265
It's going to be a day one buy for me, even though it's not a day one play. I literally just want to support their efforts and show them that I want them to keep remaking the older games in the series with this style. I am so impressed with what I saw.

>>3831260
>real-time battle elements bullshit
>flawless remake

>>3830586 (OP)
They removed the chest messages and iconic lines like "why is my present a boy". Enjoy your slop, zoomer faggot.

>>3831290
tits was always slop of the highest regard. Everything about the game is so fucking lazy and shameless. The only reason people give it a pass in retrospect is because it was slop that was occasionally edgy and/or risque and we don't really get that anymore.

>>3831290
chest messages were always fanfic cringe

>>3831290
If the lines weren't in the original game then I want them removed. I want the most authentic experience.

>>3831328
>I want the most authentic experience.
Then learn Japanese and play the original release on a 20-year-old desktop PC.

>>3831345
No, I want the beautiful remake, accurately translated into English.

>>3831351
So you don't want the most authentic experience, then? Okay, glad we cleared that up.

Modern Falcom gameplay is absolutely terrible. This is why their games sell poorly. They'll learn that the hard way when this game bombs.

>>3830586 (OP)
Same. Downloading the demo now, I hope it feels as fluid as my favorite rpg ff12.

>>3831290
>muh slop
>complain that le quirky wypipo cringe writing like the chest messages and the "iconic" lines were removed
Back to r*ddit with you

>>3831390
Incidentally, that's where you should go to collectively suck on Kondo's little Japanese pecker.

>>3831382
Good lad

>>3831290
Chest messages are cancer.

>>3831261
just watch a let's play at that point

>>3832471
I fixed your image for you. No need to thank me.

>>3832499
Evo’s so fucking ugly

>>3832471
>>3832499
Where is the second image from? When I played the game, the pictures looked like the first one, not the second one.

>>3831272
when every fight is a trash encounter in turn based does it matter?

>>3832613
the vita port. It's a downgrade in pretty much every way compared to the PC version - with the sole exception of having (JP) voice acting. If you care it's pretty simple to mod that into the windows version tho

>>3830593
Of course it won't, but it'll be a new and interesting way to revisit it.

>>3830586 (OP)
Boring gameplay.
Extensive worldbuilding doesn't really matter if it is boring and revolves like the usual standard shonen anime.
Sky is grounded but boring while Coldsteel the hedgeheg pivoted into a school sim, yet ultimately still boring imo.
I rather play Suikoden which has large amount of unique, cool looking characters that might be shallow but plays into the fantasy+kingdom themes well. Same as Fire Emblem.

>>3832872
But as boring it is I'll still rate it higher than Octoslop. Tbh both series have alot of filler, uninteresting dialogues and small talk, but Trails fleshing out the slice of life aspect in JRPG is a little breath of fresh air. Plus characters actually interact naturally without being utterly forced like the way Octoslop did.

>>3830713
>moody aesthetic of the original
?

>>3832874
Is octoslop 2 decent?

>>3832874
>but Trails fleshing out the slice of life aspect in JRPG is a little breath of fresh air.
What exactly is the "slice of life" aspect of these games?

>>3832975
That's about all it is. It doubles down on everything the first game did, which means the good parts get better, but the flaws are compounded as well. They added some crossover chapters to pacify the people who complained about how isolated the character campaigns were in 1, but they're really nothing special and pad out an already bloated game.

I think an issue that nobody really talks about is that each character has TOO MUCH utility. It feels like they were trying to appease people who complained about having to change their party to have access to certain skills (wasn't that the point of secondary jobs?), so now every character just feels like they can do everything and it kills the fun of composing a party.

>>3833000
You act in the school play

>>3833044
>but Trails fleshing out the slice of life aspect in JRPG is a little breath of fresh air.
Lots of JRPGs neglect the importance of making sure their cities are thoroughly designed, which I think Trails is good at. I remember playing Reverie and the first town was pretty organized, "believable" enough to be a real one. The way the characters talk like actual normal people (with a touch of japanese quirk) applies as well. Comes with the intricate small talk that autistics like me unfortunately hate.

>>3833048
Sorry not Reverie, but Azure

>>3833049
Are you talking Crossbell? Because the way Crossbell is designed is the most inorganic "video game" looking city ever.

>>3832623
Yes.
All steps away from turn-based combat in turn-based franchises are fucking cancer.

>>3832611
No, the original art is so fucking ugly.

>>3833223
What are you talking about? That is clearly an image of a city of 250,000 people, anon.

>>3830640
wasn't an option when i played it sperg

>>3833235
the original art is ugly but soulful
evo is ugly and soulless

>>3830593
Considering only Zero is as bad as the original, probably.

>>3833223
Where is the argument?

starting with the remakes is what Kondo would've wanted

>>3833267
"Muh soulless" is unironically an NPC argument.

>>3833048
The only game I played was the first Trails, and I didn't find the towns very "believable" at all. They were bigger and more complex than your average JRPG town, but that really only served to make them more annoying to navigate. Especially since all the architecture looked the same. It was very tiresome.

>>3833575
Yeah but still your claim of them being "not believable" still doesn't make sense to me. You can say they are annoying to navigate yeah I would agree, but isn't that what most modern towns IRL are like, thus making them successful at replicating that aspect? That's what I meant, sorry if my original statement is confusing.

>>3833373
anyone who says "unironically" is an npc

>>3833712
This but unironically.

>>3833658
I don't like how you can just go into everybody's houses and nobody has a problem with it.

I love the trails series. the combat animations are kino. its a great experience if you skip 90 percent of the dialogue

ngl i fw the in-game art style for the characters

>>3833234
You are allowed to just press square and fight every single encounter as turn-based if you prefer, Anon. Nobody will stop you.

>>3833575
But it’s super easy to navigate all the towns? They all have pretty distinct layouts and you can find the important places super easily

Not buying your censored remake.

>>3834056
That's disappointing to see, even though I think I definitely prefer the remake in the second example.

>>3834032
I didn't say "hard" I said "annoying". Retard.

>>3834056
this image just reeks of desperate
not every game has to be a le tortanic

>>3833904
You now realize none of the houses have toilets.

>>3834056
Do they nerf Bestelle treating Olivier like he's a freak because she assumes he's gay?

>>3834196
>Do they nerf Bestelle treating Olivier like he's a freak because she assumes he's gay?
that scene doesn't show up in the demo, so you will have to wait.

>>3834127
If it’s not hard it’s not annoying, because then it’s easy kike. Your problem is made up just so you can whine and pretend to be upset

If my only experience with Legend of Heroes is the PSP remakes, should I consider starting Trails? I really enjoyed Tear of Vermillion. Prophecy wasn't as great.

>>3837192
The first five Trails games, at least, by all accounts, are far superior games to the Gagharv trilogy.
The series gets kinda cringe starting with TOCS (but there's still a lot to like about it).
