There's a currently a bug with the "Army Boots" chest in Sapphirl Tower. If you try and open the chest after it's already been looted, the game locks up.

You can also see it in Ys: Oath at times, like when you're outside of Valestein Castle.

It happened to me in Ys Origin, in some some of the outside parts of the tower and at the bridge to Rado's Annex, but only as Hugo. When I played as Yunica it worked totally fine. :confused:

Somehow I doubt that was in the original translation.

Because Hugo is awful, and Yunica is the best character in the series :colbert:

Regarding Trails in the sky, the only graphical issue I've seen so far was that Olivier's sprite was garbled for a few seconds in one cutscene in chapter 1, as if his sprite was diced up into squares that were randomly re-arranged.
Went away after a second, and haven't seen anything since.

Been swapping between windowed 1600x900 and fullscreen 1920x1200 and everything maxed with no issues other than the sprite one.

Mouse and keyboard work really well since the game was originally on PC and designed for it.

I understand how the battle controls would work good, but does the same apply for the field movement? It's sort of important, given the contextual way you get ambushed/preemptive strikes.

Field movement is basically point and click like Diablo games. It works quite well.

I just beat the game, and I loved all of it. Thanks for bringing this to PC and I can't wait for SC.

As for glitches, I only encountered one, and it was very odd. During the fight against (heavy endgame spoiler) ____Colonel Richard_____ sometimes the game would play the last audioclip from attacks. So, Estelle would attack, and then the boss would use the same voice clip when they attacked. It didn't affect anything, and it only happened in that fight, but it was a bit strange.

That would be very impressive, considering during one attack I heard an explosion sound effect. They must have VERY strong vocal chords. Sounded just like the real thing!

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

I'm thinking of picking up Trails in the Sky off Steam, but in the past I've had issues with JRPGs being grindy and having obtuse character recruitment requirements that require me to play along with a guide. How much of that bullshit is in TitS?

None. You can clear the game with next to no encounters fought, from what I remember, and there's no recruitment BS.

Grinding isn't an issue, but there are quite a few easily missable sidequests, so if you're trying to do a 100% run a guide is an absolute must.

The real meat of the game is in the main story and character interactions though, and that works just fine without a guide.

Edit: To clarify on the grinding, experience gain is scaled on level difference between characters and enemies, so if you ever fall behind one or two random encounters will always get you to an appropriate level for the area you're in - the only thing you can really grind is money and spell materials, and you'll get enough to get by from normal play.

Are these Shining Pom things I can't hit supposed to be the Metal Slimes of Trails?

Also, I can't find this "Pine Plant" along the Milch main road anywhere, is it not just a regular encounter or something? Nevermind, found it soon as I posted, of course :v:

Yeah, Shining Poms are Metal Slimes. You can only kill them by using S-Crafts or instant death effects.

The bounties from the guild are in a fixed location; you can recognize them because they're stationary and when you approach them you'll be given the option to fight them or to ignore them.

The Pine Plant is in the west most zone of Milch Road, just before the Verte Checkpoint.

There's missable sidequests but the game clearly directs you where to go to get most of them and then directs you to where you go to do them. If you put them off you can miss out on the rewards and there are a couple that're hidden/out of the way, but all you get for doing literally everything is overpowered equipment that you don't need. Just do the sidequests you feel like doing and you'll be solid.

Also gently caress you Pine Plant, self destructing on me. So that's the kind of game this is, is it t:mad:

haha, good old self destruct. If you couldn't retry fights it'd annoy me, but as it stands i just find it funny.

A couple of enemies do that but the Pine Plant is the only one that'll wipe you, the rest will do like 100 damage.

I found I actually liked having the information quartz on somebody, as it will just tell you things like what kinds of attacks / effects an enemy will have, and other exploitable things. I don't remember if you get that before/after the pine plant, though.
For exploding ones, anyone with range 2+ can safely get the last hit on them if using standard attacks.

Not quite. You can hit them with regular melee attacks too. It just doesn't do much and has a really low chance to hit. So, yeah, if you have no CP when you meet a Shining Pom, you'll have next to no chance of killing it, but a character without CP could potentially kill a weakened one.

I think they were probably trying to push updates as fast as possible, and didn't want to waste time writing out what was in each individual update. I've sure Sara will give the all clear when she thinks the game is fully patched up.

Also, thinking of doing a character section for Trails in the Sky (just gonna include Estelle and Josh), and I need a couple of profile images for them. I'd appreciate it if somebody could dig up two profile images for them, ideally of equal size.

It probably didn't sell well because it was released for PSP with no fanfare in 2011.

Pretty much. It was the definition of a cult classic. Considering how much :words: that game had, however, Xseed probably lost money on the PSP version. However, thanks to the forces of capitalism (,ho!), a couple of goons another localiser is willing to translate the second game, presumably for a revenue share.

I'd imagine Carpe Fulgur would assist Xseed translate any future Trails game that gets greenlit for localisation (there won't be, Third Chapter basically opens the door for the rest of the series, and basically would mean that Xseed would be on the hook for basically the rest of the franchise, in a similar manner to the requests for Second Chapter for years).

If I were to take an speculative guess the Zwei series should be seeing a release some time in the future. The old patch developers have been sitting at 99.9% complete for over a year now, and many people suspect someone bought the script off them.
