>Latest News
- New Trails info expected on November 16th, via a special sen issue of dengeki.
- Cold Steel 3 released, remember spoilers, game is gonna be split into two parts due to size, second part expected next year.
- Ys VIII released on PS4 and Vita, but as usual NISA fucks up examples https://imgur.com/a/58G3W and the promised simultaneous PC release was delayed indefinitely, however fans are working on an edit already. NISA currently promising to "fix" errors and grabbed Durante to fix their performance issues following an emailing campaign.
- XSeed has ported Ys VII to PC. It is available now.
- Trails of Cold Steel I is out on PC on both Steam and GoG; ToCS II is also confirmed for PC with no release date available, though dialogue recording has started. It won't be until 2018 though.
- Tom on ToCS for PC: has its own separate launcher, "far more feature-rich than any other launcher we've ever had in any of our PC games to date" " There's not much you CAN'T do in that launcher." "You can tweak bloody EVERYTHING." It's also got a turbo mode that lets you speed up the game 4x, which is pretty sweet. It also runs butter smooth. Seriously, this port is great.
>Other not-so-new news
- Zwei II coming this Fall supposedly, website launched (http://visitilvard.com/). Check this blog post to discover the game (xseedgames.tumblr.com/post/162167486725/zwei-the-ilvard-insurrection-localization-blog ), seemingly one of the causes for the delay, besides bugfixes was extra "Zwei 2+" content needing translated.
- The full Trails in the Sky trilogy is finally on English, available on Steam, GOG and the Humble Store
- Tokyo Xanadu brought by Askys, Vita version has already been released, and the improved Ex+ version for PS4 and PC releases December 8th.
>Fan-translations
- Trails to Zero fan tl at 40%. Ao is 55% translated, but not edited at all yet. A beta of the Zero TL from 2015 was leaked. It is full of typos and sounds like robots are talking, but it is at least coherent from start to finish. Play only if you are desperate. Machine TL of Azure has also been released, and it is as terrible as you would expect. It is completely unintelligible.
- The Legend of Xanadu I & II Dub Project announced, English tl patches coming in the next months ( http://tg-16.com/The_Legend_of_Xanadu_Dub_Project.htm )
- Also in the works: Zwei!!, Dinosaur Resurrection, Vantage Master Japan, Dinosaur Resurrection and Brandish 2 Renewal (PC-98)

Those two are great news to me! When I said "hope", it wasn't as in "hope NISA will do a good job", it's "hope they will go bankrupt, or at least lose their contract".
By fixing it they are showing that the market isn't puting up with their shit.
If the post-fix result is still shit, it will finally signal to the devs that NISA is the problem, and this isn't an isolated case.
I'm legit cheering that their fix will still be called out.

Sorry for being blunt, but are you retarded?
The sole issue here is NISA's localisation effort, and by extension, NISA itself. They are known for low-quality products and mediocre customer support, and the reveal that they would handle Ys 8's localisation was met with unprecedented concern.
Now, not only did they fail to dispell these concerns, they even managed to exceed them by postponing the pc port indefinitely one day before its release and a translations so sloppy that it evokes the suspicion of being machine-generated.
Many would have preferred XSeed to handle the title, just like they did with most other Falcom works, not due to some baseless sense of loyality, but because they offer a faithful translation, keep an open channel to the user base, offer patches for technical aspects of their products months or even years after the initial release, and most of all, seem to be genuinely interested in the games they work on.
Another secondary aspect that is somewhat bitter to swallow is that Falcom apparently chose NISA over XSeed, with profits being the deciding factor. From a fan's standpoint, it seems like they don't particularily care for their Western audience.

I think a lot of the problem with them not getting called out as hard is because they released the Vita version first and a lot of people decided to wait until the eX+ version came out instead of double dipping. If they didn’t fix the translation with the PS4/PC version, I think more people will make a stink about it.
Hell, their announcement tweet for the PS4 eX+ release date had a lot of people telling them to fix the translation. So some people do know.

Really glad to see NISA being rightfully punished and called out for what they did to Ys (among other games). To those that came into these threads and told us to accept the NISA dub, I say "now you deal with NISA being called out and your shilling all for naught". Idealistically, I hope this makes Falcom consider going the Nep route and creating an international branch for translations and localizations, but that's most likely not going to happen in the near future, unless they get much bigger.

6ada25 No.13668587

The story and subsequently the creators railroad the main girl (alisa) into a lot of the story and even outright steals scenes from characters who should've gotten them. That being said, you can still get to choose from a wide selection of waifus, although some of them don't actually get romantic payoffs (which kind of sucks). You could also completely ignore them, but where is the fun in that?
The latest game also only has romantic pay off for only 3 of the characters as far as I know, but people (everyone who got fucked over) are hopeful it gets rectified next game, fingers crossed.

Not a big fan of the fight myself but thats not too fair a complaint, you have to guess initially which part is weak in each stance but it stays the same afterwords and is clearly displayed, by that logic any game where you have to discover and exploit an enemies weakness is shit, however I understand how it can feel luck based or samey, it's one of the big reasons i'm happy they expanded the mech fight mechanics is CS2/3 so there can be actual strategy instead of what is initially a rock paper scissors game where you eventually know what they'll throw.
It's pretty much a Kiseki tradition at this point though for final bosses to be shit compared to a penultimate or similar boss though, at least it terms of gameplay and difficulty.
8eb2f7 No.13673584
>>13672585
You do know that halfway through the fight he starts to cover his weaknesses and puts up a stance with no weaknesses at all, right? And you do remember that he has a random chance of unbalancing you and dealing a lot of damage if you're unlucky, right? Not to mention the move you used to counter him only had a 50% chance to dodge and counter, so if you didn't get lucky with that then it was game over.

Then what am I suppose to do if he spams that stance (which he does when his health is low enough) and I don't have enough to CP to do anything? The only option left is to attack and run straight into his counter.

I think the problem with the fight was that the stats were extremely poorly scaled for nightmare. I had to grind a few levels from what I did the final boss. While I haven't tried myself, I imagine on lower difficulties luck won't be as much of or even a factor at all, even without grinding, since I got pretty close a few times when I tried the fight underlevelled.
11/10 battle theme though, probably my favorite final boss theme in the series.

You can only heal twice in the fight and morning moon cost a lot of CP and when you have neither then you have to run into his counter. >>13674850 pretty much said the issue with it. The stats are poorly balanced on nightmare that you'll have to rely on luck to counter a lot with morning moon to regain your CP and do damage.
876169 No.13675036
I agree with the final fight of CS1 being an utter bitch on Nightmare. On easier difficulties it's much, much more manageable down to where I'd say it's a decent fight.
Nightmare makes it more frustrating than it should be.

>puts up a stance with no weaknesses at all
So not random ? You're wrong but even if right that's paradoxical to your original complaint.
>the move you used to counter him only had a 50% chance to dodge and counter
You conveniently ignore the GUARANTEED halved damage and that it can be used before multiple attacks for better odds.
>so if you didn't get lucky with that then it was game over
Except it can be won without it even on nightmare
>>13674787
Save up BP for a strong attack, save up CP, heal, set up morning moon prior to multiple attacks for best effect, it's called basic strategy and doing virtually anything other than just hitting it.
>when you have neither then you have to run into his counter
Again try a bit of forward planning
>you'll have to rely on luck to counter a lot with morning moon to regain your CP and do damage.
Or actually check the turn order and deploy it at an optimal time
>>13674850
What level where you ? Never had any issues at lv64 on nightmare, also yeah on lower difficulties the boss is a cakewalk
>stats were extremely poorly scaled for nightmare
Normal health 200000
Nightmare health 242000
I assume hard is around 220000
Unbalance efficacy stay the same
I can't say much for the other stats but the primary difference, health, only changes the battle by around 10 attacks speed, if relevant may add a few more from normal to hardest difficulty. To me that looks more poorly scaled from the perspective of being far too easy of an increase not some must rely on rng bs.
I can only assume people were spoiled by the easiness of the rest of the game and forgot things like actually using the turn order and planning ahead

8eb2f7 No.13675400
>>13675123
>So not random?
The stances he uses are random, but the rest of what I said was poorly worded. Anyway, he has a defense stance which has no weaknesses and counters when you attack, so you're stuck either using CP or EP. His defense stance showed up more often than all of his other stances when his health got low enough for me, so I would be all out of EP by then.
>Save up BP for a strong attack, save up CP, heal, set up morning moon prior to multiple attacks for best effect
That's exactly the strategy I used and I still lost due to poor luck. When I got countered, I also got unbalanced every single time. Even his other attacks did nothing but unbalance when I got hit by them. I looked up the fight and noticed other people weren't suffering the same issue I was, so I would write this up as luck based. And I was level 72~74 when I fought him because I was leveling up my master quartz.

At that level there really shouldn't have been any issues that would force good rng to be necessary
>Thats exactly the strategy i used and i still lost
Would you be able to film this, even some shitty phone recording. I could see a low level get fucked by extraordinarily bad rng but at that level you should have had enough of a health buffer that its more yourself to blame, for example you say
>When i got countered, i got unbalanced every single time
I never got countered during the fight because i wasnt retarded and didnt attack during his telegraphed counter stance, regarding the unbalance it works the exact same as your counter, hardly unfair or rng
>he has a defence stance with no weaknesses and counters when you attack
Are you disingenuous or retarded this point has been gone over already
>so you're stuck using cp or ep
Except there's a defend button so thats wrong
At your level that fight could be done without using all your heals, barring what id imagine would have to be lottery winner style odds the fight shouldn't have comedown to rng, considering that you've missed/not understood basic mechanics and strategies im calling bs and mere blame of rng for shit skills. Feel free to prove me wrong with a vid though.
Also i feel i should clarify that i dont count fucking up most of the right and putting yourself in a bad situation where you can only win with good luck as rng thats just poor planning.

I hope this isn't the case. CS4 would be releasing in 2018 or so. If they started work on it just before or after that it would mean a 2019-2020 release. Which would suck stupid amounts of ass. They should localize the games as they come out.

So from what I've heard there's no save transfer into CS3. Is there at least any option to say who you did events with in the previous game, or does everything assume Alisa won the Reanbowl?
2f9f5a No.13737382
>>13737260
It assumes no one did. Final bond events, even Alisa's, are for all intents and purposes non canon. I wouldn't be shocked if CS3 works similarly due to the odd way it handles it's own final bond events. Hell you can choose the romantic option for Alisa, Laura and Emma and it doesn't stop you. Also it doesn't change a single line of dialogue or scene later in the game. I can only figure they're just going to save it all for Last Saga. Depending on how late into development 3 and LS were split, I can definitely see how CS3's final bonds got such as weird treatment.

Can't get over the ending of Cold Steel 3. What a humiliating defeat.. I can't believe Rean and co. marched in there to face Osborne and ended up losing to the dragon, which set off the chain of events that caused him to lose control and do the very thing the antagonists wanted to happen. It's even worse than CS1's ending because losing to an outlaw and fleeing is not nearly as bad as confronting the head of government and losing in such a pathetic fashion. How the fuck does he even recover from this? Will he finally grow a pair and stop being Osborne's pawn in CS4?

It is far and away the most densely packed Trails game with a shitton of lore, answers and backstories. The only issue some people are having is that it doesn't end the arc and ends on a cliffhanger. It's "unfulfilling" in the sense that there's still a whole other game to go. I got over being mad after sleeping on it, because honestly I'm just really excited. It'll probably be a real fast turnaround like CS2 was and I'm really happy there's still a game's worth of story left. If CS3 is the benchmark for the quality of that story then it's gonna be great.

No. Erebonia isn't over. There will be another game, it says so in the ending. The last thing you see is Valimar chained up and a message telling you basically not to be mad because it's not over, and the story will be continued in "Sen no Kiseki: Last Saga"

Oh, there's going to be a CS4? Falcom just can't write a story within the scope of a game. FC and SC were supposed to be one big game, and so were the first two CS games. I suppose I can at least be happy they don't pare things down or just release it unfinished.

Other than the ending, the story was very good. The only real issue I had was the fact that you spend the whole game alternating between the roles of instructor for new class 7 and a pawn on Osborne's chess board who follows orders to go fight Ouroboros at the end of each chapter. Besides that, it waams great. Each chapter was loaded with action, finally getting to fight and beat Arianrhod and her stahlritter all together at once was very satisfying, and the game reveals a lot.
In the big picture, this ending may be a blessing in disguise. If Rean finally says fuck it and breaks free from Osborne's little chess game, then the 4th game could be awesome.

I thought I was going to hate Nu Class VII going in to this game. I wasn't sold on the concept of new characters midway through and thought it would be dull. I ended up absolutely loving the new characters, in spite of the bias I had going in. Not just the characters either. Rean works way better as a teacher than he ever did as a student and while not all of them extremely fleshed out, giving the old C7 kids post school lives and goals helped them quite a bit too. I was surprised how much role they were able to have in the story. Hell characters from previous arcs have great moments in this. Randy remains fantastic and I was surprised how well Tita for into everything.
I liked CS1 and 2. I still enjoy them. But they really do end up feeling like a 130 hour prologue once you play CS3. That's the difference in action and importance I'm talking here. Of course, without that prologue the emotional payoffs wouldn't land so satisfyingly, just like with SC after FC. This arc just runs an even longer game.

Funny you say that because I was just thinking today how trivial the events in CS1 and 2 feel now compared to 3.

Kind of like listening to a 10 year old girl cry over her first boyfriend.

Just beat Celceta. I can definitely see why people consider it and the Ys games with party systems being the weaker installments. The game did have a lot of good things about it (a couple memorable tracks, solid (albeit not as fun as other installments) gameplay, custom upgrades to weapons and armor, fun skills to use, interesting areas), but I felt that a lot of the good things of the game were overshadowed by the flaws (mostly forgettable soundtrack, party system gameplay made it too easy on easier difficulties, no real punishment for having one of your characters dying (the abundance and availability of potions making it even less punishing for being hit), forcing you to switch characters for certain in-game actions, UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENES (can't even speed through them), forced railroading making you paranoid of going down one path in fear of triggering plot advancement as well as preventing you from going back until you advance the plot enough to freely explore again, rather unsatisfying final boss (more so if you went and beat the optional boss prior to the last boss fight), the abrupt ending with no ending scenes of what the other characters did after the last part (deliberately leaving it vague)). All in all, it was a pretty fun game, but as a Ys game, it definitely wasn't one of the best ones (that goes to Origin and Oath, though I and II chronicles were a lot of fun too). I can only see myself playing it once more if I get an urge to go through all the games again.
As far as all the CS3 spoilers, I'll probably end up forgetting a lot of what I see here by the time I even get to play it much less the entire Trails series. Got enough things to do in life and games to play I need to keep track of as it is.

It wasn't just the translation, though that was awful. I think there was also some super borked stuff and they fucked up a bunch of item descriptions. That wasn't the big thing. The big thing was the PC release was supposed to be simultaneous. It's still not out. Nor will it be this year. They've already fucked Falcom's fiscal year and the simultaneous PC release was a big part of the pitch that landed NISA the gig on the first place. Also all the fixes for those translation problems have also been delayed to next year.
There's probably a ton I'm forgetting. It was a massive trainwreck and for once it's actually coming back to bite them, thank God. Falcom might not care about a bad translation, but I don't see them doing future business with NISA after they fucked their bottom line that hard.
