JTDistortion posted:Has anyone has issues with getting a black screen right at the start of TiTS? The game launches, I can hear sound just fine, and I can even hear it taking my inputs in the opening menu, but I get no visuals whatsoever? In configurations, do you have Device (just to the left of resolution), set to REF instead of HAL? When I was messing with configurations at launch I managed to produce your exact problem by setting Device to REF, and just now I was able to replicate it.

Do you have DirectX 9.0c installed? Try downloading that. If not I really have no idea because you should have the option.

Imagine if you'd beaten Trails when it first came out in 2011. It'll be out in under a year, you've got nothing to complain about.

theblackw0lf posted:This is really interesting. Whats the difference? I always thought that section at the end seemed a little off. Tbh the plot gets across either way, the new translation just makes it a lot more clear. Basically, the new translation makes it more clear that (massive spoilers for FC)that Joshua's memory had been hosed with so he wouldn't recognize Weissmann, that Weissmann deliberately left Joshua's memories of Lorence intact, and that Joshua had been unknowingly reporting intel on Cassius and the guild to various members of Ouroboros who then used that to get him out of the country and out of their way. Also I think in the original he says that they've completed the first step in opening the gate to the Shining Ring, while in the new one he says opening the gate to the Shining Ring was the first step of many. e: I'm bored, give me 10 minutes and I'll post a exact comparisons of the scripts.

Yeah you can setup Hell Gate in the Prologue and White Gehanna in Chapter 2. I know this because both are way earlier than you can set up similar magic of different elements. Time magic rules.

Barrage is 24, Black Fang is 22 (meaning Joshua is probably 21 or else he'd already have it). How is Hard, by the way? Does it require NG+ bonuses, or is it something you can do fresh? I don't think I could manage another playthrough right now, but if it's any good it might be nice to try later if I decide to replay the duology. e: Earth Wall is pretty broken, but it might not work well for that fight since you're so outnumbered.

I think Ys' typical music would have been pretty out of place tonally for your average fight. Also Sophisticated Fight rules. It's sophisticated. I think the only battle theme I'm indifferent to is To be Suggestive (the standard boss theme), the non-standard themes are great (Silver Will, Ancient Makes, Silver Will, etc.) e: Also it's dungeon music but Fading Light of The Sealed Land is very great.

The reward is exceptionally mediocre. Its a quartz that increases the drop rate by 30% as I recall, which is both a pretty low increase and kinda pointless since there arent really any interesting drops anyway.

The dialogue in Trails is very good and charming in my opinion, although I do recall the prologue being a little weaker on this front. It pretty much has to be, because there's a lot of it  I like anime though, so that should tell you a lot about my opinions (i.e that they're good). honestly a part of me views Trails as some bizzaro actually good Golden Sun, with the duology and the cliffhanger and the lots of dialogue and the magic system where elemental macguffins are equipped in different combinations to learn different spells.

Yeah I like it too, such a large emphasis is placed on worldbuilding and making the world around you seem alive that I think taking an easy pace and slowly marinating you in the setting works well, but it's undeniably a little slow and is kinda dull to replay. Also post your reactions when you beat the game because I like it too much as well and so I like reading them. Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Aug 25, 2014 |

Did you beat Lorence? Also a word of advice for the final dungeon - it's super big and kind of a slog so I'd recommend running past the generic encounters, there's like 16 of the guarded chests so you'll get plenty of EXP either way.

Amppelix posted:What the gently caress, what did you do Just a heads up for anyone in the same situation, you can buy the accessory that nullifies confuse (and other stuff) from the NPC near the airship the first zone of the area this fight goes on in. Also unless you got her ultimate weapon by collecting every chapter of Carnelia, Estelle really is best using her turns to cast in the endgame, followed by a Barrage whenever you get 100CP since her magical and physical stats are about even and magic is better all else being equal. e: Best spell to cast is White Gehanna. Oh, and if you're curious about your levels, I was level 36 I think by the end of the final dungeon, and level 29 (for Estelle, Kloe and Schera will be 32/34 regardless) for Lorence.

I still haven't played them but I haven't heard good things. Not especially bad things either, I think they're supposed to be mediocre? What I do know is the translation for the Ghargav Trilogy (LoH 3-5) was super bungled by Namco, to the point where the games aren't even numbered right.

A subtle detail I liked concerning (ending stuff) Weissmann is if you talk to Alba in the History Museum with Joshua at the front of your formation, he'll comment on how Joshua looks stressed and ask if he's feeling alright. But yeah, nobody sees that one coming even though it's foreshadowed pretty well (the part in the Prologue where Joshua feels sick right after you meet him is pretty blatant in retrospect.

Nate RFB posted:I seem to remember that the issue with the third chapter is that it mostly serves as a lead-in into LoH VII: Zero no Kiseki. So if Zero isn't also localized it wouldn't serve as much of a purpose. Yeah this is what I've heard. Mainly that FC and SC are pretty much self-contained while The Third opens things up again to set up the rest of the series, so SC is a better point to leave off the series, if need be. Who knows, maybe it'll come over regardless, there's no way The Third is as bad a place to leave off the series as FC would have been.

The issue is that Zero and Ao are kinda in a bad place platform wise. There's the vanilla version on the PSP and the evolution version on the Vita, and that's it. They came after Falcom moved off the PC. And I don't think I need to say the Vita and PSP aren't exactly the healthiest of platforms, especially by 2017 which is the earliest they'd possibly come out. I mean, FC's great launch is pretty great news, but it's less reason to be optimistic and more reason to not completely dismiss the idea out of hand. (Apparently there was actually a PC port in China but who knows if that changes anything.)

I was linked to an article about a survey done for the Kiseki series' tenth Anniversary that people may find interesting. It's generally written without spoilers for stuff past FC, but there's some things that they couldn't really get rid of so I'll just summarize the most interesting stuff here: http://www.esterior.net/2014/10/final-results-for-the-kiseki-series-tenth-anniversary-national-survey/ Favorite Title: 1. Trails SC 2. Ao No Kiseki 3. Trails FC 4. Zero No Kiseki 5. Sen no Kiseki 6. Trails 3rd 7. Nayuta no Kiseki Favorite Male Character: 1. Olivier Lenheim 2. Lorence Belgar(Article uses his actual name, which is one of the things i was referring to earlier) 3. Joshua Bright Favorite Female Character: 1. Estelle Bright 2. Omitted 3. Tio Plato The last isn't in FC, you shouldn't recognize them. Also proud of Olivier for beating out every single male lead. Cake Attack fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Oct 28, 2014 |

ha, I wouldn't be surprised if they just decided "gently caress it". I don't think I ever even used the monster guide. if anyone really wanted to check they could see if they still have Schera giving you the monster guide in the prologue, since they'd probably axe that if they were giving up on it.

what level are you? if you're below 35 you're underleveled otherwise not sure what to say, never had too much difficulty with him. If estelle and joshua aren't doing physical damage have them cast, and olivier is a caster so he should always only be doing that if you're having lots of trouble make sure the retry offset is turned on, it'll make the battle easier if you retry after you lose.

Terminally Bored posted:Joshua/Estelle are both lvl 33 I think, Zane's 35 and Oliver 34. I restarted the battle like four times already. The offset option is really cool and maybe it will make the fight winnable if I get to ten failed attempts. One quirk of how the system determines battle order is that if you cast and get interrupted, since you never actually cast anything, your next turn isnt delayed nearly as much. So if you get interrupted, immediately start casting again and it tends to go through
