Whoops, my bad. I misheard, they're localizing it for PSP. Thought I heard something about a steam release, but I guess I was wrong.

Great Joe posted:Just wanna reiterate this because you guys really are the best. Meanwhile, I feel the need to reiterate that CF didn't actually have much to do when it comes to Trails First Chapter.  I still helped organize some things in a general fashion, way back when, and I helped debug it a little bit, but the lion's share of the praise should be heaped on Sara for working miracles. It's SC that contains the fruits of our labors and love.And no, XSEED hasn't announced anything about a PC release of Brandish.

Take a wild guess. (Trails in the Sky SC, unless you're talking about the text in which case probably the same but I obviously don't know for sure.)

(You won't see Joshua rocking the rad scarf until SC, though.) The text actually doesn't show up in SC; it's more just a summation of Joshua's character arc during part of SC, combined with what is probably a joke in bad taste.

So the PC version of Trails in the Sky is finally getting released in a few days? Sweet, day one purchase for me! Trails in the Sky is the only game where I stopped following the LP in the SA LP subforum, simply because I wanted to play through it myself.

One of the things I'd adding to the OP is a list of remix albums in the second post, complete with amazon/itunes links. I don't have the time or space to list all of them, though, so if there are any you specifically wanna see listed, now's the time to request them.

Alright, finished most of the OP changes. Cut about half the screenshots, removed most of the embedded videos (these should help with loading the page), changed the order of the games so the Ys games are organized by release date, fixed dead links, changed some of the descriptions, included steam/PSN store links, added sections for Gurumin and Brandish, and included a bit about the nightmare that was updating Trails in the Sky's code. I'll add the remix album list in later.

The dialogue for the first few updates was so charming that I decided to stop following the LP. From what I've heard, the keyboard and mouse control for the new version is quite good, and you can even play the whole game with a mouse.

Is this Trails in the Sky coming out on tomorrow the first chronological chapter or whatever? I've never played any of them (and the only Ys game I've played is Origin, and only with Yunica, if that matters at all). Is it an RPG with a story, or a "story, more like justification for ruining monsters' days" a la Diablo or Ys I and II?

There's a bunch of prior Legend of Heroes games but they share no plot relation with Trails (although every LoH game afterwards is related to Trails.) It's also basically the opposite of Ys in that it's a very dialogue and story heavy game. Story owns if you're at all fond of JRPG stuff though. e: If you expand the list of user tags for the game on Steam the fourth highest is Winter 2013 which makes me laugh.

The story and worldbuilding are really good for a JRPG, but the gameplay's not bad either despite being somewhat typical.

It is the first chapter in the series, with SC (second chapter) coming up end of this year I think. The 3rd game is not getting localized but it's more of a collection of post-epilogue side-stories, the first 2 games tell a whole story. None of the bullshit where us Gajin reached the end of the PSP port of FC, saw that  cliffhanger and then lost all hope because SC wasn't getting localized.e:f,b

Omobono posted:The 3rd game is not getting localized but it's more of a collection of post-epilogue side-stories XSEED's hinted they have permission from Falcom, but it depends on how well the first two games sell if translating such a massive game is worth it. Seriously, the scripts of these games are larger than War and Peace. Edit: \/ funny, I read differently. I heard it was a pretty standalone story that just leaves a few smaller plot threads for future games to build on. Mokinokaro fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Jul 29, 2014 |

the thing about the third, as I understand it (which is pretty well because I care way too much about this series) is that it basically exists to explore the setting to set up later games in the series, and thus leaves things really open-ended. unless they want to commit to localizing the rest of the series, SC is basically the last chance for them to jump ship since it's the only game that doesn't really leave loose ends.

Well that sounds great to me. For non-action games (read: most RPGs) I prefer being told a good story or about an interesting world over gameplay mechanics anyway. Looking forward to tomorrow (at least tomorrow after work  )

Battles are much better if you just use crafts semi-freely.

It also rebalances the spell costs. No more cheesing everything by spamming Earth Wall (unless you use the EP restoring items, or (new character)Kevin).

Adding to the story talk, TitS has a very slowburner, or rather a very snowballing story, at least in FC, no idea about SC. The start is pretty small and slow (but still pretty neat), and it stays like that for a while, and then it gets bigger and bigger until the final chapter is really, really good and has about as much plot, if not more, as the previous chapters combined.
