Terminally Bored posted:What's the story behind that? Did they ran out of time again and decided to split the game FC/SC style? The answer is "who the hell knows?" Kondo gave a relatively recent interview (a month or so release) where he actually answered a similar question, and basically said Falcom had given them free reign to make a CS4 in order to finish, but they'd managed to fit what they wanted into this game. So take that for what it's worth.

Falcom is a beautiful beautiful mess of subseries becoming their own series so technically 50% of their games are Dragon Slayer games. Im gonna continue just roling the rest of LoH as being amazing with the Trails subseries till they actually make it official. Right now im hoping for another 10+ 100 hour per game interconnected series after Trails ends still under LoH. If theres no resolution that means theres no To a Shining Tomorrow. THIS IS A CRIME OF THE GREATEST ORDER!

What's the deal with the older LOH games anyways? Would they be worth playing with a good translation? Are they worth playing now with a lovely translation? Are they even vaguely connected to the plot of the trails games????

I do find it amusng that Falcom still hasn’t dropped the Legend of Heroes billing entirely from the Kiseki/Trails games even though they very clearly could if they wanted.

Billzasilver posted:What's the deal with the older LOH games anyways? Would they be worth playing with a good translation? Are they worth playing now with a lovely translation? No clue about 1 and 2, older than I'm really willing to play and part of Dragon Slayer. 3-5 are the Garghav trilogy, most of the cool collectibles and game structure in 6+ were carried over from atleast here like monsters dropping gems you turn into cash, books and Plot Mandated Party. They got abysmal localizations by Bandai in the mid 00's that reordered the games introducing bugs and were rife with spelling errors, but the shine of Falcom shined through even then. Theyre great if you can get past the localization and preferably play then in actual order White Witch>Tears of Vermilion>Song of the Ocean since the gameplay atleast gets a bit better between them. Now that I think about it, White Witch's plot was probably used to build up Sky and Tears of Vermilion on Cold Steel atleast based on main character stuff.

yeah my general understanding is that the gagharv trilogy games are pretty good story-focused rpgs with a neat combat system that the localization just kinda butchers

I heard that the Chinese company Falcom works with to translate for China bitched about how the game was too long for them to reasonably translate, which is why it was cut short, but that's most likely a bullshit rumor.

I could probably get one through Yahoo auctions with a proxy site but they mark up like crazy so I've been lazy.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Ys 8 was supposed to be the game which actually put effort into having a story and character arcs, bringing it closer to Kiseki in that regard. It just doesn't come through very well at all because NISA hosed it up completely. I still can't believe there are people elsewhere online defending NISA for having to relocalize the game from scratch and push the PC port back to December because it needs a major overhaul and still would rather have NISA handle future Kiseki games like CS3 or the Crossbell duology over XSEED. He made some comments about this on NeoGAF: Durante posted:I'm not majorly involved, I just made the game twice as fast. A bit more actually. I am pretty curious as to how similar Ys8 and CS1 codebases are....

Terminally Bored posted:So is it true that there will be CS4? Was that confirmed? The ending of 3 more or less confirms it yeah. I seriously doubt they'd start the Calvard arc after that ending, which is a bigger cliffhanger than FC and CS1's endings combined and is a serious game changer for the series. Billzasilver posted:What's the deal with the older LOH games anyways? Would they be worth playing with a good translation? Are they worth playing now with a lovely translation? I haven't played LOH 2 even though I want to because the premise sounds insane but LOH 1 is a fairly bogstandard JRPG and is actually the sixth game in the Dragon Slayer series. It actually got an English translation for the Turbografx 16 complete with a hilarious dub and some name changes if you want to check it out. Gagharv (LOH 3-5) is very much proto-Kiseki, much of the building blocks of Kiseki were formed from the Gagharv games and some games in particular like FC takes influence from LOH 3 White Witch and wears it on its sleeve. Even the character archetype of Estelle comes from the heroine of White Witch, Chris. LOH 4 Tear of Vermilion is where the parallels to Kiseki start getting really interesting though and Kiseki has a similar structure complete with an antagonistic society seeking treasures of a divine figure (Bardus in LOH 4, Aidios in Kiseki) and LOH 5 Cagesong of the Ocean introduces the Doll Knight book, which has just as much foreshadowing in that game as it does in Kiseki and many names from LOH 5 are reused and referenced in Kiseki. As for them being in the same universe, kinda unlikely but given that CS in particular has been the most heavy handed with the Gagharv references there's always a small possibility they're connected. OddObserver posted:He made some comments about this on NeoGAF: That's good, I had worries that it would delay CS2's PC release because of NISA's incompetence.

Iseruhasa is at peace. Selios has married Dina and she has given birth to Atlas. At the age of fifteen Atlas and his teacher Lowel spot strange beings in spacesuits outside of the capital city. They do not recognize the spacesuits and believe them to be monsters.

In the Steam version of Ys Origin, do you still need to complete the game to unlock the third character? I beat it ages ago and then didn't play it again. If you do, is there a way around it? I guess just a cleared game save file or something?

You only need to beat it once on Steam, though I do not remember the mechanism for enabling the third character afterwards. Either the game just knows and you'll get the option or yeah you'll need to load in a cleared save file.

Billzasilver posted:thank you for this effort post, I'll definitely try to check some of them out. LOH V probably potentially has clues for the future of the series so that'll be fun Yeah I really should get around to it one day. There's not even a language barrier, I'm just lazy at getting to LOH 2. Cagesong also gets referenced a lot in the music of the Trails series. The most obvious one being this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RpKzKLyyGk Which will remind you of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7zjsM5nQA

Everything I read from and hear about Brittany Avery makes me think of her as some savant-like real-life version of Estelle Bright. Irrepressibly chipper, uplifting, always with a large and heavy stick close to hand.
