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

Haha...

I just finished Xanadu Next and I fucking loved it, and now I want more games about killing one specific faggot dragon that are not Dragon's Dogma. How do I get into the Dragon Slayer/Xanadu games besides the two ones listed in the pastebin? Which ones are translated and/or can be played without knowledge of the language?

When are we finally going to see more of the damn Sky remake?

>>1184427 As far as I know only the first Dragon Slayer has an English translation. Dragon Slayer 2 never got one. I'm not sure how easy it is to parse without knowledge of the language. I seem to recall my autistic friend trying it once but this was years ago and I don't remember the details.

Me, I'm playing Trails from Cold Steel for the first time and really enjoying it. Currently at chapter 2 I'd rate the games as follows: Sky FC > Sky SC > Sky 3rd > Cold Steel > Azure >Zero This ranking is prone to change as I progress through the series.

>>1184604 Haha... enjoy it while you can

>>1184604 Why do people suddenly hate Crossbell so much now? Everyone calls it shit or ranks it at the bottom nowdays. Zero is honestly one of my favorite games in the series. The journey of the SSS going from total shitters no one respects to the heroes of Crossbell was unmatched for me.

>>1184604 Games that open arcs tend to be the most comfy.

>>1184690 yeah I really liked Zero too, Ao had better gameplay but the plot was kind of a mess at the end

>secret meetup with Elaine at night after Agnes goes home Agnes...

>>1184690 They don't like the fact that Lloyd is just a normal ass dude who happens to be a cop he's not half demon 10000 folded katana wielding dude. >>1184729 The plot at the end of Azure is just what's to come for the rest of the series

>>1184727 Mostly because everything is totally new so it doesn't get boring like the sequels sometimes do when you just visit the same towns and do the same dungeons all over again. I know it's baked into the series but Falcom kinda get a bit too complacent in the sequels sometimes. It also helps that the plot usually kind of gets up its own ass a bit in the sequels whereas in the arc openers you mostly just get to exist in the world. Having said that though I liked CS2 more than CS1 I thought CS1 was just kinda dull for the majority of it. >>1184729 Yeah Azure had a better combat system and I agree that the plot kinda fell off at the very end. I also think Azure suffers a lot from being the same 4 highways from Zero for 80% of the game Falcom really should have done more to expand Crossbell. Still though when Azure is good it is really good.

>>1184843 >They don't like the fact that Lloyd is just a normal ass dude who happens to be a cop he's not half demon 10000 folded katana wielding dude. he's the shounenGOD of kiseki

>>1184690 I don't hate it, not at all. Being at the bottom of my kiseki tier list means that it's still ahead of most games. I just burned out of Crossbell and think that Liberl and Erebonia have the more interesting NPCs.

>>1185098 Haha... I await to see your tier list after you finish hajimari...

Van and Shizuna should fuck like animals at this point...

>>1185192 She has better chemistry with Van than Elaine does after the first game.

This random glasses girl is quite cute >>1185329 I like Elaine's design over Agnes and Shizuna, but her acting stand offish despite her connect event is annoying...

>>1185329 Elaine kinda fell off after kuro 1. Van keeps acting coy around her and she can't move on from him which makes their interactions boring and mundane. Agnes definitely gets a huge glow up after Kai so it's no wonder her popularity skyrocketed, but Shizuna definitely has the best chemistry with Van, it's partially because their personalities bounce off of each other extremely well and because there's a potential for an interesting development between them. Either way I won't get my hopes way too high, but excluding Elaine and Agnes, Shizuna has the highest chances to enter the Vanbowl.

>>1185403 >This random glasses girl Fufu...

>>1185435 Yeah it just feels like it goes nowhere. All Elaine ever does is just guilt trip Van and act bitchy towards him and it just never really goes beyond that. There's no real progession. I like the relationship between Agnes and Van, especially when it's just the two of them together, and they way they rub off on eachother is nice. Agnes also does genuinely want Van to move forward with his life whereas it feels like Elaine just wants him stuck in the past forever. With Shizuna it's also nice how she slowly opened up to him and even though Van grumbles about how troublesome she is he does genuinely appreciate how often she sticks her neck out for him. Elaine is easily the worst of this triangle for me.

>>1185492 Falcom can't write anything with Elaine because that would have a satisfying conclusion and end a harem, either they would never get back together (no longer a harem candidate) or get back together and delete the harem >"we're going to do something different with romance" *raughs and writes the same bullshit like cold steel had*

>>1185492 Kondo said they're planning a proper drama between Van, the RAT and Elaine so we'll see how that goes. I like the development between Van and Shizuna, and their chemistry is great. It's kinda hard to choose since I also like Agnes, Renne and Judith. Calvard really has some top tier girls.

>>1185576 I don't even necessarily think they have to get back together. But maybe actually try to get over their issues? It feels like every time they're about to start trying the scene gets interrupted and then they just drop it. It was nice in Daybreak 1 because you did see them start to rekindle their actual friendship without it revolving entirely around Elaine giving him THAT pouty hurt look and trying to guilt him over leaving her which is all they do with her after the first game. Ideally each game would have some kind of progression in their relationship with eachother and then depending on what you chose at the end they'd either get back together or fully reconcile as lifelong friends. Instead there's just nothing.

>>1185576 >"we're going to do something different with romance" Kondo's bullshit excuse is "for Kai 1." Not that he hasn't outright lied about romance before (Lloyd and Elie in Hajimari). Basically Kondo can't really be trusted on anything he says.

>>1185576 >raughs and writes the same bullshit like cold steel had* To be fair it could be just a different mechanic compared to CS. Kondo never said there'll be canon and he also said that the heroine race isn't over. He also conveniently avoided the question about Shizuna's romantic feelings.

>Mcburn just goes "sorry bros, haha" and fucks off after giving you a healing item CS4 is pure schizophrenia.

>>1185698 He can't help his bad memory.

>>1185192 As I played through Kuro 1 and 2, I felt like I basically wanted Van to fuck any of the girls that weren't Feri or Elaine. Only because Elaine's boring as shit and Feri doesn't really have the same vibe as past Trails lolis. Agnes? She's cute and is always there for Van, so he needs to fuck her already. Risette? She literally deserves to be fucked for the team carrying she does and the help she's always offering. Literally his hot maid and it's probably the two I want to see bang the most. Judith? They're sassy and straightforward with each other so they might as well bang. Maybe in their transformations too. Shizuna? She has great chemistry with Van and they seem to get along better than Van would have expected so they should just fuck already. You know how like a girl in fiction could probably be totally mellowed out by getting some dick in her life? Well I feel like it's the opposite in Kuro/Daybreak where it's Van that needs some fixing. If Van just got some pussy from one of his teammates he wouldn't have done that gay shit at the end of Kuro 1 and what he tried to do again at the end of Kuro 2. I am quite literally asking for one of these girls to rape Van so he can get his fucking shit together, please for the love of Aidios.

>>1185771 Feri is in bridal training!

>Moshy Don't bring Tio, Juna and Laura here. Haha...

>>1185809 he cute

>>1185192 You will get 1 (one) beach event.

>>1185771 >t's Van that needs some fixing. If Van just got some pussy from one of his teammates he wouldn't have done that gay shit at the end of Kuro 1 It reminds of what Agnes said in her confession scene. She wants him to be happy no matter who he picks, but as long as Van has muh demons he can't fully accept his existence as something good. I don't really think it truly matters if Van picks Agnes, Elaine, Shizuna etc. it's him finally moving on from the shackled existence and finding happiness that matters. I really hope falcom finally will resolve the whole demon stuff, grendel, mare and Van's origins in the next game. They've been avoiding this stuff for 2 games now.

>the phantom thief girl is a Doobie according to an anon earlier >this journalist girl acts like a Doobie too

>>1186082 God I love autistic girls.

>>1186253 >Rixia >Judith >Marielle There must be something in Calvard water that causes autism...

>>1185783 >there's nothing in the bowl clearly thinking about the sex she already had last night

>>1186813 This has been a problem since CS3. In CS1 during the "whisking furiously" scene there's actually something in the bowl. But from CS3 onwards the bowls are always empty. I have no idea why.

>>1186906 probably it's because having the batter just be part of the bowl texture looks better with vita graphics than it does in current graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVCpaINqUcI What are some of your favorite Falcom OSTs?

>>1187179 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XUzvISRwUQ

I really wish Falcom would stop shoving shit from the epilogue games into the Calvard arc. I'm tired of routes, randomly generated dungeon crawling, fiddling with 25 different inventories etc. Just give me proper Trails adventures again and leave that shit to the epilogues. Unfortunately it doesn't feel like that will ever happen again.

>>1187414 >fiddling with 25 different inventories This is a problem in every game but FC and the Crossbell games really. It's just a matter of HOW BIG a problem it is being different depending on the game.

>crossbell is finally free again! >They get ass fucked instantly Hajimari is funny.

>Elaine keeps antagonizing Van >despite Zane reassuring her it is all good Will she keep nagging throughout all 3 games?

>>1187932 >get overpowered by literal mooks >"""Rufus""" solos them all 1v7 They might as well just bend over already. What a worthless bunch.

Blud thinks he's on the team

>>1184198 >>Ys X Proud Nordics - July 31st (Japan only for now) Why are we still doing delayed global releases?

>>1184198 Are they really killing Xseed Estelle?

>>1188700 I honestly have no idea. If they were ever gonna global release something this makes the most sense as most of the game is already done. >>1188757 We do not know for sure, but as the article states Gungho is claiming they're doing a new localization that's true to the Japanese original. We have seen literally none of their work, which is certainly odd considering it's supposed to be this fall, so all we have to go on is what they're saying. Before this statement basically everyone assumed the game would more or less use the XSeed script which is why they could global release at all. Now no one is sure what is happening and we won't know more until we see the game actually in English.

>>1188639 Walter....the secret member of Class 7! >>1189128 I see. I do hope they keep it. I'm not opposed to a new localization but the Xseed version I think works fine.

>>1189156 >I do hope they keep it I don't necessarily hate all of Xstelle but there are definitely times Hatsuu went too far.

>>1189182 Agreed.

>>1184690 I've played up to CS4, and I think CS3 is my least favorite. Not that it's bad, but it just felt like repeat of CS1. >The journey of the SSS going from total shitters no one respects to the heroes of Crossbell was unmatched for me. I also enjoyed that, finding barriers to get over is fun.

>>1184690 People hyped up Crossbell for a long time. When people over-hype something it tends to underwhelm when they actually get around to it. People also tend to shit on Cold Steel, so when people get to the arc that's supposedly terrible and then find out many of those complaints were over-exaggerated, it suddenly looks better. Personally, I hate arc wars shit in Trails. I have things I like and dislike about every arc, but when it comes down to it I enjoy them all.

>>1187143 Stop ruining the falcom magic by explaining their tricks...

>>1184727 Trista... home

>>1184451 I dunno but I love Estelle Also why is this nigger website asking me to log in. Log into what nigger. Your fed honeypot?

>>1189907 >fed honeypot Anon 4chan catalogued everything you did. The jannies tracked your IP and that site didn't even let you use a VPN. If you're worried about that, if you posted on 4chan you're already fucked.

>>1184690 Well the biggest Kiseki dedicated YT channel ranks Crossbell as the best. Zero is 3rd best while Azure is #1 Sky FC is bottom 3 I think Crossbell being disliked is strictly an imageboard fenomenon

>>1189937 Feds won't do much when I'm not in the US or western EU, but why is there a login option?

>>1189943 It's probably for people who own boards. You can make your own board here. You have to log in to be a board owner obviously since that's like being a janny of your own place.

>Trails in the Sky remake >Uh? Chloe, who is that guy with such a cool energy? I feel like he is going to do many important things in the future

>>1184604 your ranking is literally just mine, CS1 is a legitimately good videogame. And unlike Crossbell is has a good ending. Currently on CS 2 and I don't understand why people shit on it at all. It's better than CS1 in gameplay. Unless the epilogue is some travesty it's shaping up to be better than CS1.

>>1190230 Most people didn't like the whole flying around padding.

Anyone have THAT Sean Chiplock audio?

>this site is exploding too now This way of life is not meant to be

Aggie!

fufufu... CS1 is really good

>>1190960 is for rough sex!

Jolda's bum

>>1190742 https://8chan.se/.global/graphs/2025-04-20.png it's over 20-40x~ more pre 4chan dying, pretty insane...

>>1187414 I think it's already too late. Kuro 1 was the last focused kiseki game that actually felt like a proper adventure. Van's final episode will probably have routes as well, I'd be surprised if they'll make kai 2 as Van's solo game. Final arc will have routes too and falcom still haven't found a new game director for kiseki after Kusano stepped down.

>jusis alBAREA >BAREAhard bros... could it be?

>>1192248 I'm seeing it... Jusis is constantly hard...

>>1191058 There is nothing wrong with that statement, Cao. and I don't appreciate you killing /fg/

>>1192248 >Estelle BRIGHT >They were being ironic

>>1192556 The whole "Bright" name was planned for Renne from the beginning.

>>1192524 Cao killed /fg/?... now it all makes sense

>>1192574 >11 year old >3 doctorates Her last name should have been "Autistic" or "Liar"

>>1192645 She's just that bright.

>>1192248 Rean SCHWARZer

>VAN ArkRIDE Holy shit... KONDOOOOOOOOOOO!

Woah...

>>1193137 that's just a coincidence... right...?

>>1193144 Haha...

>>1184451 did they seriously age the loli up? I was STOKED for this but I have to know.

>>1193244 she's still small but the artstyle does seem to make her less loli though they gave her some thick ass thighs

>>1193258 >thick ass thighs I can get behind this, thanks for the info m8. btw is greentexting a thing here or is there another similar function?

>>1193285 read this ///https://8chan.se/.static/pages/posting.html\\\

>>1192841 literally can't read her name any other way since i heard this

>>1194254 that's her bracer title, it's an inside joke among the guys

>>1193297 ok I see what the issue is. I use the darkviewer firefox addon which makes it so you can't see greentexts

>>1194638 This site has themes like Tomorrow that are dark so you can whitelist it for this site and fix that problem

>>1194695 I like Royal myself.

>half the time auto refresh works >half the time auto refrest doesn't work >never know whether a thread is just not updating or nobody is posting

>>1197621 Haha, a 4000% user increase will do that..

>>1197621 >>1197708 Personally i'm amazed at how well 8chan has handled it so far

>>1197814 It's true. Given the early days of site the fact the worst I've seen is like a 10 minute crash is amazing.

Incidentally if a janny ever browses this thread could you add a title to it? I fucked up and put the title in the name field. I don't even have the fugee excuse I was just blind. I tried asking in meta but no one responded. I was going to call it "Nihon Falcom Thread: Refugee Crisis Edition.

>>1198233 kek, I was wondering why it wouldn't display the thread title on the catalog.

Cao is so lucky.

>>1198333 Cao is too much of a faggot to ever tap this

>>1198353 >do i marry this hot chick who worships the ground i walk on and secure a strong alliance between our families by doing so? >fufufufu no

>>1198415 Trust the plan.

>>1184198 >Trails in the Sky 1st will supposedly feature a "more faithful localization" to the original (total XStelle death?) Good bye Faggot slayer Estelle. Goodbye CS1 Rean with an actual personality. I found them to be a fun read but maybe it wasn't the most faithful of interpretations.

I liked the localization

Love my cutest canon wife

How do you think NISA is going to translate this line

>>1199496 Probably the same as the fan translation did which was pretty innocuously. I hope Rean gets connect events in Kai 2 and they're a bit more romantically coded this time.

hi fg bros. i havent been here in over a year, still havent gotten past first chapter of kuro. anyways, eagerly awaiting sky remake. how are you all holding up? do you like the new website? the lack of idiotic jannies? IDs?

>>1199916 True I think the dialogue and fan TL was a good subtle nudge towards Altina being an eventual romance option. NISA will probably follow suit with the fan TL, but who knows since they seem to enjoy adding a lot of their own flavor with the translations. >I hope Rean gets connect events in Kai 2 and they're a bit more romantically coded this time Same I really want Altina to get some really cute and romantic scenes with him

>>1199945 I've actually been here for years. But yes our jannies tend to be less retarded than the trannies back on halfchan. I hope the Sky remake is good. Stuff we've seen looks nice but honestly we also haven't seen a whole lot. It's kind of weird to be most of the way through April without Falcom doing major pressers on their upcoming project.

>>1199945 sup bro, doing ok, going to take a short vacation from work though I'm not going anywhere, 8chan is very much better than 4cuck, we have literally zero schizos ITT. IDs are fine by me because I actually want to talk about games and not shitpost. As for you not playing kuro - it might be a good move. Kuro 1 was great, 2 is filler and I'm not really sure what to think of Kai yet. Falcom really fumbled a lot of Calvard, honestly really wish I had known to skip kuro 2...

>>1199945 I like the ability to post multiple images per post, I don't like that this site doesn't work or doesn't refresh or the captcha disappears ect. Jannies were not a big issue on /fg/ anyway. So yeah, I miss 4chan.

>>1200185 the constant shitposting with arc wars, wokefag, all the false flagging and the ERP is worth it?

>>1200232 Yes I prefer an active thread over anything else.

>>1200232 The only really annoying thing was the ERP shit. The rest was pretty easy to ignore for me imo

>>1184198 What the fuck theres a newer version of Nordics? I just bought it and finished it a few months ago

>>1200185 interesting, i doubt it was a big problem in /fg/, but i definitely felt the heavy hand of retarded jannies elsewhere in other generals and threads. delighted to be free of them. a lot of, shall we say, very arbitrary 3 days. >>1200127 i keep hearing that about kuro 2, honestly not to echo an old sentiment by some here, but i also feel like the series lost some of its charm through steel and kuro as it took on a more modernistic aesthetic. bur im probably just a skyboomer. >>1200117 i was about to replay sky when they announced the remake, so ive put that off to enjoy the new game.

>>1200350 Yeah, but it's a switch 2 exclusive for now. It's kinda funny Kondo would prioritize ys x re-release over sky remake on switch 2, but I guess it's because ys 8 did really good on switch when they ported it in 2018. Either way NISA could make proud chuds as a purchasable update for pc, switch and ps versions when they release it in the west.

>>1200396 >i keep hearing that about kuro 2, honestly not to echo an old sentiment by some here Kuro 2 isn't AS bad as some people paint it to be, but it's a pretty huge disappointment after a great start with kuro 1. Kuro 2 is basically a really stretched dlc that covers loose ends from the end of Kuro 1 and it has some really bad plot devices. It has some really great moments too, but they're pretty sparce in the story, if you liked the characters youll get more enjoyment anyway. I don't consider Kuro 2 as a pure filler, but it isn't a proper sequel to kuro 1 either. I suggest waiting for a discount or if you really don't want play it at least watch the recap or something.

>>1200282 >>1200345 Nah, I was around /fg/ during the Sen III days and yea, there was always shitposting even back then, but /fg/ around the last year minus the Kai chinaman stream honeymoon period was awful and the past months after that was downright cancerous that it made /fg/ unbearable to be in.

>>1200396 I agree that kiseki has lost a lot of it's charm for sure, I still like it enough though >>1200638 don't start

>>1200638 Reanfags were never the main problem at least after the "femanon" avatarfags infiltrated /fg/. Their simps are even worse. This place unironically feels like a breath of fresh air.

>>1200686 >I agree that kiseki has lost a lot of it's charm for sure Kiseki lost its charm since sen 2, even though the writing was already going downhill before that. Unless you really like the school setting i really can't comprehend people who genuinely enjoyed cs3 and 4 that shit almost filtered me. Kuro 1 was good, even if it did reuse some plot devices like mind control masks from cs, but at least it was only for 1 chapter. It's clear falcom tried something new, but it didn't payoff as they expected since Kondo himself said that kuro 1 underperformed which in my opinion is the result of many factors piled up together. Kuro 2 is the result of falcom's yearly release schedule, dogshit writing and no game director to make a cohesive game. Kai is basically the same, but to a lesser extent. Falcom don't have passion for kiseki anymore combine this with the declining sales and it's pretty evident they just make it on autopilot these days, even Kondo said as much in the shareholders meeting.

>>1200873 I'm gonna laugh when Estelle's game outsells the entirety of CS4, Kuro1&2+Kai

a lot of people lose hope after CS2 it seems can't wait for CS3 to see if people are overblowing the hate for it like they did for CS1 and 2 or if it's really that bad

>>1200916 I doubt it'll sell more than kuro in Japan. The western sales will be good.

>>1200934 I personally think the hate is overblown myself. I still enjoy the CS arc despite the haters.

>>1200967 i enjoyed CS, but its also where the series began to become stale for me and the charm of the world-building massively wore off. by kuro there's not much goodwill left.

>>1200934 Haha.... I'll hold back the pasta until after you finish CS3...

>>1200934 idk if its overstated or not but...i wasn't happy with some decisions regarding the narrative.

>>1200967 maybe people expected a somewhat serious story with politics romance and character drama like in Sky and were mad about CS becoming a comedy game about schoolkids on tour fighting ancient mechas for their academy school life. I can't take this shit seriously but it's entertaining in a very goofy way.

>>1201102 idk about you, but i loved my constant dose of >Rean... >REAN >Rean-san! >R-Rean... from the whole cast every other moment

>>1201138 well when you are the most special person in the history of the continent I imagine people will talk about you a lot. Embrace it. Think what Rean would do. You know the answer.

>>1201215 >that won't be necessary >*kneels*

>>1200934 I enjoyed Cs3, but that was probably because I started with Cs1 and 2 and after 2 I played the older games before starting Cs3. If I had gone from Cs2 directly to Cs3 I probably would've hated it.

>>1201102 I stopped taking kiseki seriously after azure 2nd half. Now I only need a likeable cast of characters going on the adventure, but falcom is really struggling with the latter these days. I really don't understand why they keep pushing garten and route shit after kuro 1.

>>1201267 I'm 7 games in and I don't think I'll play Vans games this year. He's so far away still. People say he's a good protag so atleast that's something to look forward to. All the girls are really hot too. But from the pronoun comment and other anons referencing certain things I figure I will probably not enjoy this arc. The whole immigrants plotline...grim

>>1201267 I guess because Reverie was really popular and Falcom didn't realize that it was popular because it was just a big crossover of all the previous games and not because of random generated dungeon slop or routes

Reminder that Altina acute

>loli Ashen SEX

>>1201874 Remembering the "loli Emma" poster now.

>>1201424 >But from the pronoun comment and other anons referencing certain things I figure I will probably not enjoy this arc. The whole immigrants plotline...grim Pronoun shit was NISA's doing, you can still play kuro 1 with a fanpatch. As for muh immigrants, kuro 1 barely even covers this outside of 1 side quests in Oracion. It gets explored more in kuro 2, but the thing with the white supremacists is that they are extremely retarded and cartoonish so not a single character take them seriously, I don't think falcom tries to push any agenda outside of everyone should be treated equally similar to commoners vs nobles in cs.

>>1201945 >white supremacists is that really what they're called?

>>1202023 Yeah. I think that's the reason why kuro can feel 'woke' because the concept of race was never established before in kiseki.

>>1202023 Yes. It's very stupid. The concept of "white" didn't even exist in the Trails universe before Kuro. Everything was about nations before, not race.

>>1201798 And she has a perfectly cute face to smooch

Jesus fucking christ this site is slow as shit. It took me like 30 minutes just to post this >>1202215

>>1202257 Haha... at least it's schizo free.

>>1202273 >schizo free zone >but it's unusable 90% of the time >vs >erp schizo hellscape >but it actually works What to choose...

>>1202338 I'd say both, but I'm pretty sure /fg/ refugees will go back once 4chink is fixed. I do like this place so it's ok to come back here when /fg/ becomes unbearable with avatarfag and schizo posting.

>>1202338 The difference here is that 8chan will likely improve and the schizos and shitposting will only be worse on 4cuck, only the most retarded """people""" will choose to be post-hacked jannies. I wish I could say 4chan is dead but hiroshimoot probably still needs to recoup cash from the buyout

>>1202389 I'll probably end up going back too, but this place is definitely much comfier. The site just needs to accommodate the higher load usage better so it doesn't crawl to a stop every 20 min >>1202398 The pent up seafag schizos are gonna shit up /fg/ the first couple days its back most likely. We'll probably still be hanging around here for awhile after 4chin is back

>>1200934 I loved CS3 the first time I played it but when I went back to it I thought it was one of the worst games in the series.

>>1202389 Honestly I'll probably end up using both but this place is comfy and I hope some people still remain here after /fg/ inevitably returns. It's been nice to discuss Trails without the schizo shit for once, feels like it's been years since you could do that. Even on /v/ Trails threads would get shitposted to death by the same crap over and over. The activity on /fg/ was nice whenever theres news but I honestly don't miss all the mindless ritualposting, endless shitpost wars and erp garbage.

>>1202338 How come tina grows up and millium doesn't? Weren't they unable become bigger?

>>1200934 Enjoy yourself bud.

>>1203325 Altina grew taller, but Millium grew in other areas. Jusis is so lucky. Imagine having a shortstack wife.

>>1203382 >Rean got a beautiful and cute flat wife Homuncutie lovers won hard

>>1203591 A wife to surpass metal gear...

>>1202090 It's mega woke, illegal immigrants good, Indian & they/them party members are just part of the icing, the fact the Heiyuu crime syndicate run half the country and pretend to be oppressed is just hilarious and makes it seem like that part was written by some Chinese nationalist. Kondo literally lost the plot with these games all of the world building of sky to cs 1-4 is basically stomped on by introducing race and race war into the world. They had to patch in a Kevin jpeg because they forgot about him even.

>>1185771 >doesn't really have the same vibe as past Trails lolis Honestly this is how I feel too. She's definitely very aloof and impressionable, but I dunno, for some reason, she doesn't really fit the bill. She's, like, less Tio, more Fie, I guess. I just can't put it into words very well.

>>1203988 Because Feri actually acts her age unlike Tio and other cumdolls.

>>1203917 Sasuga Ban-san desu ne...

>>1204188 That's a good point actually. The likes of Tio, Altina, Renne, and even Tita honestly all tend to act older than they are (at their respective times of still being kids). Harder to come across a little girl in this series that doesn't fall into that mold.

>>1204246 Yeah while Feri is technically considered adult in her clan, at the end of the day she's still just a 14 year old girl without much real life experience outside of battles. I didn't really like her at first too, but she definitely grew up on me and when I started looking at her from this perspective she became one of my favorites. I think the reason why she isn't really popular is because falcom still haven't resolved her arc. I guess her design and personality are also an attribute for her lack of popularity since japs and chinks prefer more appealing lolis who are cold at first, but then melt over the protagonist like Tio and Altina. Hell even Jolda became quite popular after she became Van's Altina.

>>1204188 Feri is like the only loli who isn't some hyper competent prodigy and I respect that.

>>1204456 I don't hate Feri and as others said it's kinda nice that they broke the mold with her and just made her kind of a regular kid instead of some amazing genius. I mean shit even Fie had earned a cringe nickname at 14 years old. Having said that though she's not really a compelling character either and Falcom seemingly don't really know what to do with her (something she has in common with many Calvard characters). I also thought it kinda sucked how her friendship with Aaron seemed to just disappear entirely in Kai. As for why she isn't popular I want to believe it's just because Falcom kinda dropped the ball with her story wise and she doesn't really get to do much but it's mostly just because she doesn't appeal to same pedo fantasy that characters like Tio and Altina do where they're helpless emotionless lolis who learn to become utterly and totally dependent on the MC and fall in love with them through the MCs constant guidance. Instead she just kinda does her own thing most of the time and doesn't need Van to constantly nurture her. If Feri was completely dependant on Van and constantly followed him around like a lost puppy and had a crush on him she'd be way more popular. I mean shit look at how popular Jolda got in Kai because they went back to well of the same loli tropes with her that had been popular before. Instead Van just kinda treats Feri like he does anyone else so the Pedos can't really self insert into their relationship.

>>1203988 >Tio >loli She's 14 years old. Tita was comparatively younger, around 10 years old.

>>1205350 Tita was 12 when she was first introduced.

>>1205282 Design is what carries a character's popularity. Just look at Elaine, she basically became irrelevant after kuro 1 and her entire existence is being completely Vanbrained who can't move on from him no matter what and will wait for his answer as long as it takes. Elaine got 2nd place behind Agnes after Kai. Agnes had to be wanked a lot to finally take the 1st place and Elaine easily mogs everyone without doing shit. As for Aaron and Feri friendship, it's still there. Maybe they banter less now because of the character bloat in Van's party, but they're still close like everyone else. Even if Van's route was padded with side quests I still enjoyed his route the most because of the spriggans interactions and chemistry, but I do feel like Van's party is getting way too big, now that Elaine Shizuna, Jolda and Renne are practically part of Van's group.

>>1203727 grim as fuck if true

>>1205520 Vans party has way too many chicks and they keep adding even more with every game. Van Aaron and Bergard are the only proper dudes lmao.

>>1205582 Haha... that's our Ban-san...

>>1202865 I thought it was abib and his seething with other jrpg threads but fire emblem

>>1205612 She would join in a heartbeat/

>>1206367 They are cute desu I kinda want Agnes canon, but if they'll go for a choice between Agnes and Elaine, I really hope they'll include Shizuna considering Kondom went out of his way to include this tease >>1185192

>>1198466 i am coping by thinking at least another playthrough will feel fresh with different dialogue

>>1205516 That's still loli age.

>>1205582 yea it didn't really hit me until i went to the sauna. one room was packed and the other it was just Van and Aaron swinging cocks

>>1184198 I wonder if I should buy that acrylic, scrape the image off, and put in some xstelle

>>1184451 I dont know who drew that image but they really upgraded estelle.

>>1205612 The wish fulfillment is real. Why did she say this?

>>1189938 no wonder kiseki nut is retarded. anyone who rates FC low can't be trusted to have an opinion on this franchise. >>1184877 Personally I agree, I dont like loyd but he is unironically cool and I wish estelle got anything close to a craft like that. I might eventually sit through one of the later games just to use it. >>1185771 feri being a muslim child wife loli makes me mildly uncomfortable too.

>>1187179 Top all time favorite will always be looking up at the sky. Jade corridor is a strong contender. after that I'm thinking under the moonlight. >>1189128 I am tempted not to pay if they fuck with the script. not only would it be an insult to xstelle fans, but it would retroactively break continuity with every subsequent estelle appearance after sky.

>>1206697 >no wonder kiseki nut is retarded. anyone who rates FC low can't be trusted to have an opinion on this franchise. Agreed. I disliked instantly when I saw that.

>>1190169 >playable chloe. I would tolerate rean for this, but given she uses a sword I'm sure fans of anal ace would cry blood. >>1189182 I don't know, I think this makes a lot of sense to me. Kloe is the princess and the japanese text feels kind of weak, and I think estelle is dumb enough to not realize that she could end up blowing kloes cover this way.

>>1190230 from what i understand most people are frustrated that the neutral path they try to go through doesn't exist and they just fuck up all the nobility non stop.

>>1206622 >>1198466 People will mod it back within days if they do that and I will just play the modded version, I listen to the japanese dialogue a lot at work so I'm not going to put up with estelle being even more retarded than she already is if Im actually playing it. >>1199945 I'm wondering if we remain here if people will start to attack me for posting too much, realize I made a lot of posts that they actually like outside of what they don't, or start hating all my posts even more. >>1200117 we/fg/ dont have to deal with many jannies, if anything the lack of gayorg can be a problem but it seems like at least for now the anti falcom schizo isn't around.

>>1206697 >feri being a muslim child wife loli makes me mildly uncomfortable too. U r gay

>>1200718 i dont see >femanon very many times in the catalogue so I think its safe to say that probably the pajeet poster is also the anti shill. >>1200686 for me its the combat. it's basically the only TjRPG that's not a wargame. Every time someone shits on this franchise for being the most generic of generic I get confused. for me it's all about the grid first and foremost.

>>1200718 the femanons like Reana and Lauranon were fine as they contributed enough OC to improve board quality. It's the simps and haters and shitty low effort ones that were shit. Like the Ellietroon that spammed AI art.

>>1201102 the thing that infurates me is not that it's goofy but that you can't take it seriously. There's lots of stuff in sky that was goofy, but you got the sense that characters existed in the universe instead of just as puppets for your entertainment. they have to live in a world with all the anime tropes going on all the time. to the point that xstelle mocks the penguin of doom and cassius shows up because he wants to see the end of the first game. CS tireirons all of that because it prevents anything from coming to a satisfying conclusion due to harem bullshit. it would be better as a gacha game.

>>1206786 love feri

>>1206839 Pure halal

>>1206792 >catalogue. it's late and im retarded I meant control f. >>1206818 laura anon was only known to be fanfic anon after the fact even, so all of the appreciation of her contributions came about before people realized she was simpable. to me laura will always be the autistic knight first. She is mecha brained like kurt with swords, you cant hit on her. she wont understand >>1201945 Don't care, never gonna play falcoms ESG slop game. I understand fully why, I consume a lot of japanese material and such like older selections of biographies. Japan has always had a chip on its shoulder because the west treats them as inferior so they want to say everyone is equal, but it's just not true and japan more and more is finding this out in real time. >>1202023 yeah the nippon runes check out. its something like old world white supremacy or something >>1202090 there was obviously different races in sky, but it was mainly asian immigrants mixed with Caucasians.

>>1202338 >>1202389 >>1202747 things are very responsive, sounds like your machine is the problem. In any case I just wish more people would check out /fanfic/ in any case is it really that much slower? this feels great. the previous threads where only fast because of the anti. >>1203988 >>1204246 I can't fully agree, I think sky renne, tita, and the other children in that game absolutely act their age. Tita is unusually smart but she's not that put together. Renne is psychotic but primarily is invested only in entertainment and shutting out the screaming voice of trauma in the most expedient means possible.

>>1206689 Well she was seething at Van cause Agnes knows how popular he is with other women, but I think she just wants to defuse the awkwardness and point out that Van should find his happiness with someone. I think it was both a meta commentary from falcom and Agnes' feelings pouring out.

>>1206866 I like this combo.

>>1206971 Same. I wish they'd have more interactions since they are the same age. I wasn't a big fan of Elaine acting like Jolda's adopted mom, it kinda felt forced cause she's Van's new daughter wife.

>>1205282 >friendship with Aaron seemed to disappear entirely in Kai What, for real? Literally why would they do that? Especially after some of the stuff from Kuro 2.

>>1208358 I am pretty sure the writers at falcom are total ass now. A lot of things characters do is confusing to me, at least past kuro 1. It's very disappointing

>>1205282 >>1204456 Let's be real here, shes not popular because shes not an ambiguously brown anime girl, where she could be a SEAsian, Okinawan, latina;coded she is outright Arab Muslim who speaks Arabic (is Zemuria just Earth now?)

>>1209299 for me she says and does nothing really important or impactful and im not sure the story would change much if she didn't exist that could be said for way too many characters though

>>1209371 I understand why Falcom wants to include all these dozens and dozens of irrelevant characters at this point, they don't want to miss out on a sale because someone's favorite character was forgotten. Otherwise they would handle it just like every other JRPG sequel and just have them doing whatever somewhere else off-screen and maybe referenced in newspapers or a text note. Somewhere out there in some fecal universe someone is screaming to have Angelica take the spotlight back. They need every sale they can get on this walking corpse of a series

>crappy story about a reporter and his esper friend that leads nowhere and finishes on a parting ending Crossbellan /lit/erature sucks ASS! Does anyone know how faithful the book translations in Trails are? Honestly my favorite thing about the series.

With Kondos blessing I WILL beat CS 2 today and I don't care how long it takes. Kodakas next game comes out tomorrow and I want to play that with a clear mind.

>>1211332 Haha... good luck bro

>>1211859 No need to be upset, cutie.

>>1211859 joshy...

*sigh* this is boss fight #5 in a row...

reminder this started out as some guy falling on a girls cleavage

>>1212743 >still at infernal castle Bro... I don't think you're finishing the game today, i'm sorry...

>>1212863 the fuck do you mean "still" Crow and Rean just saved the day

>>1212978 haha...

>>1212978 *laughs

>>1212978 >He doesn't know Haha...

Crow...

50 mira...

>>1213040 IMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

holy shit SSTOP

>>1213144 the best romance falcom ever told

Usually not really a fan of these remix albums but this new Kiseki Falcom just released is great

>>1213199 Rean Schwarzer of Class VII...

>>1213199 oh shit it's out? i got blueballed by the overdosing heavenly bliss preview

>>1213251 Yeah its out on the music channel. The Open the Shard arrangement is amazing.

>>1213249 haha... it's like i'm playing Cold Steel for the first time

>>1213336 >>1213249 >Radiant Hope transitions into the Sen 1 OP. Jindo, my knees are coming down.

we really love Crow, he was a member of class 7... (Cedric has a knife to his throat) Crow, my beloved!

>>1213512 Crow really was a bro...

>>1213144 IMAAAAAAA

This man is based

the amount of plot twists are staggering

>>1213767 I knew it was gonna happen and it still blindsided me, especially Rufus being a double agent

>>1213719 ACK

>>1213066 >>1213557 I finally get it

>>1214071 congrats you've finished the game! haha

>>1214071 haha................................

>>1214071 now that the semen has dried, did you rike it? *raughs*

>>1214090 Not so fast!

what I don't I am evil now?! did Crows death mean nothing to you nigga, what about the neutral faction, why did we have to spend 40 hours flying around Erebonia doing nothing and not this?! I guess the game starts now haha...also no way is he really dead...

>>1214240 It's just a phase.

It's cool how they modeled all of Crossbell in the new engine, I even recognize some of the NPCs a very nice touch

>>1184427 try brandish I think xanadu came after brandish there was a remake for the psp

the province of Crossbellfags...

>>1214460 No...

you have got to be shitting me

Why does Fie dress like a slut in Cold Steel 2?

>>1214597 Almost there bro... >>1214614 Bracer influence.

>>1214614 She knows that I'm a big fan of her tummy.

>>1214649 Very nice tummy indeed.

>>1214832 So sad about her Kuro outfit.

HERE GOES ALLOW ME HERE GOES

>>1214845 I do like her kuro design (especially without the hat), but yea, I prefer her CS3 one.

>>1214870 It's fine, i can always use mods for tummy.

>>1214912 yea

>>1214931 Her CS3 outfit is fucking retarded the Kuro one is leagues better

>>1214944 Wrong. Love it

this dungeon sucks

>>1215185 But it has Lloyd ogling Rixia's ass in the vents (you were playing as Rixia right, anon?)

>>1215379 I'm with Lloyd on this though, her ass is distracting me from the suffering of Crossbell

>>1215460 Crossbell deserved it!

Haha...

>>1213249 >>1213380 post DL link please

>>1215624 It's not up on nyaa yet so I don't know where else to get it other than the Falcom Music Channel on Youtube.

>>1214690 This is what happens when a girl grows up without her father figure

>>1215704 like Rean?

>>1206689 Because falcom got a lot of complaints with Rean's romances that were just superficial otaku pandering trying very hard to be like Persona.

>>1203727 Migrants are le good

>>1215704 it's okay she has a new dad now

>>1215933 This was a pretty cool first meeting. I wonder if we'll get anything like it again.

Rean...

>>1216153 >german soilder says he's following orders That's a bit too real Falcom.....

I wonder how coldsteel onlies felt during this moment

>>1216175 Shock, confusion and intrigue is my guess. They probably should have released the Crossbell games after CS2 over here.

>>1216153 The poor little rabbit is only a tool, don't beat her up.

>>1216175 I mean for a long time Sky and CS were all that were available if you didn't speak Japanese. The first fan TL of Zero didn't even leak until 2017 a year after CS2 came out. But yeah the Divertissment sucks if you haven't played Crossbell. I will never understand the "you can start with CS" crowd.

>>1216153 Get the fuck out of my cuckbell, niggy

>>1216214 >"you can start with CS" That really only applies to CS1 since they made that game with new players in mind.

>>1216214 Yeah that moment absolutely blew my fucking mind first time I played it and that's only really possible if you played Zero and Azure beforehand. I'm glad I got into the series after Zero and Azure were playable in English even if the translations at the time were kinda bad.

>>1216242 Uhhh Lloydbros? Our response???

Lloyd the regular self-insert vs Kondos main self-insert, it's not even a fair fight

>>1216280 oh you dun fucked up now

>>1216214 Because the ending of azure spoils Cold steels plot.

>>1215379 I wonder how Cold Steel onlies felt during this moment.

>>1216409 Glowie Rean

>>1216475 If only they actually committed to that instead of making him a fucking teacher

>>1216486 They should have explored more of the stuff in-between CS2 and CS3.

KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHINKI GOITSU >Awakening (Craft Change) (3 turns) >STR UP (L, ignore STR DOWN) (3 turns) >DEF UP (L, ignore DEF DOWN) (3 turns) >SPD UP (L, ignore SPD DOWN) (3 turns) >Cure Status Ailment >Null Status Ailment (3 turns) >Cure Stat Down >Null Stat down (3 turns) >Null All-Cancel (3 turns)

>>1216456 glad I skipped the ending of Azure then

>>1216456 Cold Steel spoils Azure worse if you are able to retain names at all. It gives away the twist villains.

when cold steel first came out i think some people just thought the crossbell games were just a spinoff that didn't matter much (because they hadn't been translated)

>>1216456 They spoiled each other.

>>1216520 Haven't seen this pasta in a long time

Kondo has a quota of little girls wanting to be impregnated in his games.

Don't listen to the trannies that parrot Azure spoils Sen bullshit. Play in release order, always. Kondom intended you to simultaneously know that a man called Osborne fucked Crossbell in the ass at the end and that he got shot in the heart in Sen 1.

>>1216580 Yeah that argument was always retarded as fuck to me.

>>1216548 When Cold Steel first came out, loads of people didn't know about the earlier games at all. They should have done back then what they're doing now (multiple companies handle the games)

>>1216580 >>1216596 But then you end up with shit where NISA pretends like the series started at CS3

>>1216623 They only say that because that's the first game they got their hands one. Pretty sure Kondo also said that you should start with Daybreak 1 now since it's the latest start of an arc.

are we being raided?

>>1216611 >>1216670 >>1216694 Bunch of new IPs out of nowhere. What does any of this have to do with falcom, dumb tourist?

Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III Charge forward and lead the next generation. The Erebonian Empire stands stronger than ever, and tensions mount like never before seen in the continent of Zemuria. Annexations abound. Crossbell and North Ambria are in Erebonian chains. Furthermore, the mysterious society of Ouroboros has begun to slither once again. Rean Schwarzer, the Ashen Chevalier, has been hailed as a hero of the Erebonian Civil War, having helped to bring it to a swift and decisive end. Rean is now an instructor at Thors Military Academy, a place entwined with his greatest joys yet also with his greatest sorrows. A new Class VII is formed, with its alumnus Rean as its mentor. Inflections of the past and conflicts of the present, Rean must grapple with both the shadow that hangs over Erebonia and the shadow that hangs over his own heart.

well this was a lot more somber than I expected

>>1216762 That bratty cat....

>Rean... >Rean! >Rean >Schwarzer!

>>1216762 It's not the same without Crow...

>Jenis Royal Academy >Thors Military Academy So uhh, where do Crossbellans receive their advanced education?

>>1216809 Thors (post annexation) haha

>>1216809 The only church in the entire 500k population city, which is coincidentally outside of the city in the mountains haha.... This is the amazing Falcom worldbuilding btw

>>1216762 make sure to help out our boy Anton

>>1216809 Back Alley school for girls

>>1216809 the police academy

>>1216836 I clapped

>>1216855 Only Elie and Tio attend that school.

>>1216670 So the one reply I got to all my shitposting is a retard who thinks ching chong media is good? sorry retard I dont like gacha and I prefer actually white coded characters and morals. No based country deliberately destroys the ocean floor. china is as bad as india.

>>1216850 Anton is in this game?

>>1216981 This Estelle should be naked.

>>1216986 He's in CS1 and 2

>>1216809 St. Ursula Medical College

>>1217014 Wow she's literally me

>>1217036 >she haha

>>1217003 oh, maybe he can get with Sara...

>>1216836 the monickor in universe for crossbell is the city of sin.

>>1217094 His eyes are on Sharon

Love my wife Altina

>>1217139 uoh

>>1213144 you still have 3 more games of rean being gay as fuck for crow, maybe more we don't know the future

>>1216963 I think Elie went to school outside crossbell

You know, I was just gonna wait for the official western release of Kai, but my current circumstances in life mean I don’t fuckin know if I’ll even get a chance to play it later this year, so I might finally just bite the bullet on playing the translation.

>>1217301 I hope things work out for you buddy

>>1217331 I realize I maybe made things sound more grim than I intended to. It’s nothing serious actually. Just career path shit making me too busy to get around to it.

>>1217372 All the same

>>1217382 Damn, Van is fucking brutal, cucking a literal kid.

>>1217382 the RAT also likes to watch

>>1217301 Even when the NISA version releases, you still have the option of buying/pirating the CLE version and applying the 4ch- I mean 8chan patch.

>>1216716 >>1216725 >>1216981 Allow me to introduce you to Niggerpill, one of the few legacy trolls we had on 8chan before you guys came here. His shtick is pretending to be a blackpilled gamer that laments how Japanese gaming is dead and we must surrender to woke. This is because he is actually a leftyfag. I'm also fairly convinced he was the "wokefag" from your generals. He always cross-posted between these two places. Anyways he's so infamous here that he's ban on sight globally so just report and ignore him if you see him.

>>1217450 I don't think I paid enough attention to wokefag's """arguments""" to know if it's the same idiot but good to know, thanks senpai
