The fact that none of those titles are Xanadu Next or the Zwei!! series makes me sad.

I played a bit of Ys 7. So far I really don't appreciate how rolling is faster than walking because I'm obliged to mash the roll button wherever I go. And I just got my first sidequest from a random unmarked NPC I decided to talk to on a whim and was told it was quest number 3 which means I already missed 2. I'm getting Tales flashbacks. First boss was the first time I didn't die on the first try to an Ys first boss though (I can't figure out how to put less firsts into this sentence, help). I barely survived with 1 character and a sliver of health so well done on the game balance at least.

If I had to narrow down one reason why Celceta is much better than 7, it's because it has the dash boots and 7 does not.

So I am getting ready for my next SMS review for my long project to review all US SMS games over at http://masterratings.blogspot.com/ (Ys review will probably be up next week some time. Most of it will basically say PLAY PSP/STEAM VERSION OVER THIS GRINDY rear end VERSION. Because the SMS port isn't really the best one to play and I even had issues with it in 91-92 when I bought and completed it. I've given the TG and PSP a quick short run through the wizard boss for comparison and well.. yeah. DO NOT PLAY SMS PORT UNLESS YOU LIKE GRINDING.) And I notice this thread, RPGCodex's Y's thread, and decide I ought to see how many known Falcom games I physically own.  I have a lot. I had the TG Dragon Slayer CD game but I traded it off back when nobody gave a drat about the Turbo in like 96-97 for Might and Magic 3 which is also now worth a gently caress load of money because the TG/PCE market has gone Full Retard for reasons I still don't understand. Sadly my copy of Sorcerian has bad disks now but for some reason 3.5 disks and drives are the most fragile goddamned things ever. Yet 5 1/4 disks rock on mightily in spite of being much older and used far more often. (I suppose I can rationalize the MSX2 Sorcerian translation port? If its anything like Thexder 2: Firehawk, the MSX2 version is the best looking and playing one out there. So besides said Turbo CD I completed back in the day, Faxanadu, and Legacy of the Wizard, what US released Falcom games with physical releases am I missing and which ones do I actually want should I be silly enough to build this collection further just to have yet another collection niche to chase pointlessly and never catch? I mean I already have Ultima/Origin Systems, Batman, Hobby Games Gone Electronic, and Alien/Predator franchise so why not have another one to fail to complete because I am cheap, lazy, and easily distracted? I mean I bought Celceta there and I don't even have a Vita yet. But yes this is a good thread I should check on more often.

I never had a problem with any of these things in the Steam version of the game. The only things I didn't like were dashjumping and the magic system being a "limit-break" style of maneuver rather than another choice of attacking, a la Felghana/Origin. To each his own, though.

Seems like Xseed is really going to skip to Sen no Kiseki: http://gematsu.com/2015/05/legend-heroes-trails-cold-steel-listed-game-spain

Ao no Kiseki seems hella cool, but any other game in the series at all is still far more than i was expecting. i'm surprised they're seemingly skipping the Third though, it isn't nearly as hard of a sell as the crossbell arc.

What's the trick to dodging Dalles' ice move without the wind magic? Keep getting hit by it in his second phase because of the shield gimmick.

Why does Falcom love "Run away from circle that teleports you into insta-death attack" for their final bosses so much. I wish his first phase was actually interesting. Or his second and third, really. Justin_Brett fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Jun 2, 2015 |

a weird tweet from Xseed, or?... https://twitter.com/XSEEDGames/status/606637083285966848 apparently the kanji for Sen (as in Sen no Kiseki) is what's on the note on the table

So we're basically skipping the two games in the middle between Sky and Cold Steel? How weird will that wind up being, story-wise? Assuming they're mostly stand-alone.

Cold Steel takes place somewhat concurrently with the skipped Crossbell arc, following the erebonian perspective rather than the crossbell perspective. so it'll get weird, since the game kinda expects you to know what went down in Zero/Ao. if i remember right, in Sen no Kiseki II the main character of Zero/Ao is actually a boss fight at one point (not really a big spoiler)

That release date basically confirms that Sky SC will be out in the next two months, right? Would they release Cold Steel first?
