The Legend of Heroes Thread - Trails of Cold Steel in the Sky

[Valestein]

Well, finally got around to finishing the fishing mini-game(thank aidios).

In other news, here's an off-screen trailer for CS3.

Need my waifu Alisa though...

Sara you mean? Absolutely. I can't buy the game in good conscious without her.

 

[Somberlain]

Captain Claire you mean? I can't buy the game in good conscious without her

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Claire was fucking amazing I agree. Got a strong vibe from her at the end of CS2 like she wanted something more.

 

[Valestein]

Claire was simply acting out of jealousy after seeing what a great catch Sara had gotten.

I'm getting close to the end in FC (finshed the tournament) and the game is awesome. Running around to extract all the dialogues from NPC is really annoying though...

I love how all the characters are so adorable...even though I'm not a lolicon in general, Tita is so cute, sweet, delicious and makes me want to hug and squeeze her. Although I still hold Kloe as best girl so far.

Now I've heard that in SC I will need to choose between Kloe vs Olivier as a party member...wtf is this shit? That's basically forcing me to replay the damn game (which I've heard last for 80+ hours), egh.

tita is the little sister i never know i wanted

I actually have a little sister. She's cute as fuck and can say an eargasmic "oniiiichan~~", but man I wish she's as half as pure and innocent as Tita.

If you ignore everything else is the combat good enough to carry these games? How is it compared to, say, FFT?

Nope,if you want something akin to FFT here is a relevant thread:
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...od-combat-preferrably-tactical-combat.113675/
The combat is too easy,slow and the equipment gimmick is nice but nothing special.
But then again this is a problem with most jrpg.

 

[Somberlain]

These aren't tactics games so naturally the combat isn't as complex as dedicated tactics games but it's much better than your typical JRPG.

Eh, it's between Agate and Schera IIRC.

 

[Somberlain]

You need to choose Agate or Schera as your companion after the prologue but the other one joins after chapter 3. Olivier and Kloe join during chapter one and both are available for the whole game.

 

[Valestein]

ah yes "choose" between Agate and Schera

Unlike some here, I don't actually dislike Agate, but yeah, Schera is the obvious choice there.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

One of the things I love most about this series is its ability to surprise and engage me when I least expect it.

I was getting tired of the dungeon crawling so I started Schera's moon door, hoping at least for some good plot. And it started in Grancel. Not long after I did an entire chapter dungeon crawling through an alternate version of that city. "Fuck that," I thought and didn't play for a week.

Last night I decided to give it another go, thought I'd play maybe half an hour, and five hours later it was 2 am, on a work night, and I was still playing. Schera's moon door is that good.

Not sure why - nothing EPIC!!! happens - but the writing seems pretty good.

Her moon door is one of my fave ones, along with the Tita/Agate ones and the Olivier/Mueller one.

 

[HoboForEternity]

i talked to everyone during shcera's door multiple times even in that short time frame they managed to give all the citizens in grancel a backstory (like the orbment vendor guys just starting out their business, the couple next door was just getting married and impulse buy a home on the capital, hell even the general's daughter anticipating for new baby that you see in theFC and SC, the fishermen's guild, etc) these are fucking excellent details they put in, and so far only this series put so much attention to detail to NPCs.

it turns out not just fancy graphics or animation or fancy NPC scripting with elaborate NPC schedule that can make a world feels alive. it is just a simple matter of giving everyone a little personality, a story of them living everyday's life just like ours that the players have no agency to, just able to watch and observe how their mini-arcs develop and their life unfold. schera's door reminds me why i ADORE this series so much.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Finished Schera's Moon Door. Went back to base to buy some new quartz. Now Olivier's in my party and ready to light shit up.

Should finish Chapter 4 soon.

Party: Zane, Joshua, Olivier, Kevin. Joshua's required at the moment, and I can't use Ries, otherwise I'd have replaced Zane with someone else (Zane's ok as a fighter but boring as a character).

 

[Lhynn]

Ok, you insuferable faggots have convinced me, im going to play it this weekend. The 3rd one or whatever the fuck, unless you recommend a different starting point.

Have you completed any of the previous games? Don't start with the 3rd! Start with the first, Trails in the Sky.

Also, if you aren't a storyfag you're not going to like these games. They have a great combat system, but there's a LOT of story too.

 

[Lhynn]

Im not a storyfag, but i enjoy a good story. I dont really favor any element of a game above others.

 

[Nomad_Blizz]

I've already installed it- it feels great playing it again on updated graphics. However, I have a few nitpicks...I'm not a big fan of the new character portraits and since it's a Japanese title the O and X buttons are inverted. Is there any way to change them?

Anyway, TitS FC remains my favorite game in the trails series. All the other titles the TocS series or even TitS SC failed to capture me the same way FC did even though they have better gameplay. I've yet to play the 3rd though.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

You need a 3.60 jailbroken vita to play.

Are they planning to do SC Evo?

 

[Nomad_Blizz]

The patch team might do a character portrait swap like they did for the OST, but no confirmation on that.

IIRC, button swapping can be done with one of the henkaku related hacks. I don't remember which one though.

Thanks, I've found it.

Someone leaked a (old?) version of the zero fan translation, and the scene is unimpressed.

If XSEED aren't allowed to create their own versions of Zero or Azure then a fan translation of the Chinese PC version might be our only chance. Where can you buy the Chinese version from?

 

[HoboForEternity]

this is the translated.iso anyway

works perfectly with PPSSPP. the translation is janky like old 90s jrpg and they didnt use xseed's terms for items and stuff, but if the project crashed and burn and xseed cant translate it, this is our guarantee
