SC is still rather slow.
(Story structure, no plot details)
You basically spend the first 5 (of 9) chapters the same way as the first game: Go to a city, do all the sidequests if you want, do the main questline to advance the story, move on the next next city. And the chapters aren't really shorter than the ones in FC.

Only one hour until release. Will the GOG page follow after the steam release or will that be in a pocket dimension for a little more time?

A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.
Also I suppose I don't really need to say this but since this is the first time this game has gotten a non-PSP release outside of Japan, please try to avoid spoilers.

No windows only.

It's crashing like crazy for me. Once during the opening talky bits, then constantly when accessing menus. The opening movie is also corrupted unless you play in windowed mode.

It's the same engine as the Ys PC games which do apparently run well in wine. No guarantees though.

Is anyone else having trouble getting config settings to stick? I can't actually play in windowed mode because the settings somehow reset to default as soon as I exit the configuration UI.

Windowed mode started fine for me. Windows 7, if it matters.

Check your file permissions. The configuration file might be read only.

Apparently capping the frame rate at 30 fixes a lot of the crashing for now.

Switching to a resolution lower than 1080p seems to fix the crashes. I was crashing everytime I opened the map screen at 1080p or above.

I didn't even know that Trails was getting a GoG release as well. Oh well, I guess that's another title that GoG has managed to sell me.

Running the config executable directly from the game directory as administrator allowed me to keep my settings.

And yeah, seems like 1768 x 992 is the highest resolution I can go without crashing on startup.

Strange, 1920 x 1080 is working smoothly for me with High Resolution Fonts. Nvidia card.

I did have an issue with the mouse not being detected correctly and had to adjust the config.ini manually.

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
1920x1200 insta-closes in Windowed but works fine in Fullscreen, AMD card and GoG version.

I just bought Trails recently in a PSN sale, and hadn't even started it yet because I was finishing up Ys 7 first. Please tell me the PC version isn't a lot better, I don't want to spend more money :ohdear:

You can probably live without it. (Spend more money anyway so we can get the rest of the series.)

Played about an hour, it's not immediately grabbing me, but hey, I'll give it a couple hours and see where it goes. One awkward thing I have noticed is that there's no way to bind the CP Break keys to a controller, so if you're going to use a controller, you will have to use the keyboard to get through the tutorial (and any time thereafter you want to use a CP Break).

I had actually tried TitS once before I actually beat it, and I felt fairly bored and stopped a short while in. Then a couple months later I gave it another try, but this time with the mindset of that I was going to read a book, and I was going to invest in it. I ended up really enjoying it, then.

I'm getting a weird texture issue in Rolent where the trees and plants don't load. Any advice?



edit: fences aren't loading either.

Turning off hardware vertex shading fixed it.

My config is working fine without any tweaking, but 1920 instacloses on Windowed and crashes after less than a minute on Fullscreen. 1776 seems stable in both, though. Controls work fine, though, and it's good to see I can use my 15-year old Sidewinder joystick if I ever feel silly.

My temporary fix for not being able to get 1080p working properly has been to use Borderless Gaming with my 1768 x 992 resolution.

I really like the fresh jabs that characters who are close throw at each other :3:

A probable achievement glitch: You get the True Wonder Chef after eating the initial Maple Cookie. Either that's the world's smallest recipe book, or 'oops'?

So uh, can we request minor features here? Mostly I'd like the ability to map "Cancel" and "open Menu" to two different buttons, they seem to be combined to the same one at the moment.

(Also the Config tool lists the button as "Cancel/Jump" which is presumably a carryover from Ys, should probably say "Cancel/Menu" instead.)


e: Also the "Transparency" option should probably be renamed to something more descriptive, "Show characters behind buildings" or something like that.

If you hold a direction on the controller analog stick it will let you select a party member(bottom of the screen, red orb will be highlighted). Then you just hit confirm to use the break.

Here's the BeforeIPlay page for TitS: http://beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Heroes:_Trails_in_the_Sky

There's some hints and tips in there for some folks if it's your first time playing.

Not really, it's pretty straightforward. Everything you need to know is in the Bracer Notebook, and Time magic is the best magic.

There is permanently missable stuff though and unmarked sidequests. If you want to do everything you'll probably need a guide.

I tried doing that and it just freaked the gently caress out and kept selecting/deselecting the character and wouldn't let me confirm it.
