Don't forget to support the games and spoiler the spoilers!
Specially Xanadu Next. That masterpiece deserves bigger sales.

Aaron Peterson
I'm ready to see how Gaius is dressed, and how Laura, Fie and Emma look with their new designs. Granted, Silhouette Laura looks pretty much the same but I honestly hope she's different.
Christian Perry
Is Emma wearing a hat? Did she go into professional softball?
Jordan Carter
This is going to hurt, isn't it?
Wyatt Ross
I'm gonna guess Claire has nothing to worry about, then.
Charles Hill
Wiped me the fuck out within like two turns when I first tried.
She's indeed wearing a hat. I think it's a hat like Misty's.
If Aurelia is waifuable it's gonna be tough to choose one.
Caleb Carter
Rest in pepperoni, c011aa. Also, this isn't even the hardest battle in the game. Schwarzritter and final Nightmare Arena battle are worse. Especially Nightmare Arena battle. That one is easily the hardest one in the game and perhaps in the entire series.
Brandon Perry
It's even harder in the Evo version when they add Arianrhod to it.
Aiden Reed
So has anything from the Tokyo Xanadu localization been shown off? It comes out on the vita in little over a month and I haven't seen anything about it. Aksys Games has a pretty spotty record, like they handled Muramasa Rebirth perfectly but then you get shit like their otome games.
William Lewis
Absolutely nothing.
I suspect that the script was 2big4 the tarnslator and they will have to delay the release.
Ryder Russell
>Arianrhod Is that the robot Loewe piloted in SC?
Austin Hall
It's from the Crossbell arc.
Jace Flores
Arianrhod is the eigth dominion and former wielder of the Sept-Terrion of Mirage, the Demi-Staff.
Jaxon Brown
Thanks. Now I see.
Jayden Fisher
Arianrhod is The 7th Anguis, The Steel Maiden, almost certainly Lianne Sandlot and my personal guess for Laura's mom. She is at the top of the Trails power tier with Ein Selnate.
Benjamin Watson
Why is Adol in VIII such a fuckboi now?
Liam Nguyen
He's not even the worst one.
Luis Hughes
I like the art of Ys VIII
I wish they employed Enami Katsumi more though.
Owen Bennett
That might be a good thing, it worked out overall for persona 5
Brayden Long
I don't mind Adol's that much (although I really didn't like his Celceta look), but given that it's a fairly minor complaint and the rest of the game is so good, it doesn't really matter. Is Dogi going to be fully playable in the expanded version?
Dominic King
haven't heard a thing, probably no.
Brandon Cook
AND another update in the Steam Database from the very same secret game that didn't get a single update in almost two years, then suddenly tons of them.
the 3rd also got a lot of updates a few days before that the 3rd stream. And now we have a Brandish stream coming tomorrow
Haha, Brandish PC port… here we go?
Charles Taylor
If it is Brandish, there would be nothing left stopping them from doing Zero and Ao.
Blake Martinez
Is that Fie with long hair? My dick is going to burst.
Isaac Moore
Yep, Fie definitely has long hair in that silhouette.
Gavin Lee
They are already porting games to PC (LKS, Cold Steel) so I'd say the problem is not porting, but rather the costs of porting + tl.
Nicholas Ward
I wouldn't even be mad. I would fucking pay all my money for another remake of any of the other games in the series
Jeremiah Hernandez
...
Justin Reed
Has anyone played any version of Lord Monarch and would they recommend it?
Samuel Kelly
As someone who loves non-capcom and non-NRS fighting games; I've gotten use to the pain caused by people buying shitty games over good games that actually deserve the sales.
Elijah Ward
Furthering his pursuit to not be like his dad, I see. What a fuccboi.
Tyler Hughes
...
Joshua Thompson
I have a feeling that despite his looks he'll probably be a little more badass and will probably ride a tank, soldat, mech or divine knight at one point (on the shoulder).
Noah Scott
It'd be awesome if Elliot got a beard.
Xavier Hughes
Seven's Adol and Dogi make all their other designs look lame, though. It's a downgrade, but the VIII designs are good in their own way. Celceta Adol isn't even consistent between the promo art and in-game model.
They just have to release Brandish TDR PC in a much less crowded season, with actual marketing (there's gotta be a couple of well-known YTers who would preview this). And no matter how low it sells, the game would probably break even since it was a super low-budget localization on PSP, just Tom doing the script, then sending it to Falcom.
Anyway, I'm probably more hyped than I should be. This would be great news for Zero/Ao prospects, and especially Ys Seven and Nayuta no Kiseki finally.
Falcom's freeware English version (Lord Monarch Online) is good if you can stomach MIDI tracks or get the CD option working. Monarch Monarch is the most advanced game in the series (elevation, multiple map planes, elevators, different things to get control of, etc.) but it's got Japanese menus/docs. They're all fun, light RTSes with a puzzle focus.
Isaiah Harris
...
Adam Fisher
The end of Zero no Kiseki Chapter 2 was a ride. Can't wait to see where Chapter 3 goes!
Adam Rivera
Oh god Tio is gonna meet Fie and they're going to have a kuudere-off, aren't they?
Charles Morris
How long until Schera is announced?
Adrian Gutierrez
Who do you think Olivert has been doing this whole time?
Brandon Baker
Mueller
John Hill
Osborne took him away, remember?
Dominic Perry
Is Osborne also into men?
Elijah Phillips
Are Celceta and Seven ever coming out for PC outside of china?
Elijah Phillips
Yes, Rufus is his kept boy.
Bentley Howard
It's also why he abandoned Rean, having a kid around was ruining his hard gay lifestyle.
Blake Reyes
Olivert was cuddling with Mueller long before Osbourne came in. I guess he could call Schera in for a quick shag once and a while, but I'm leaning toward that job being cut short when he found Rean.
Josiah Gonzalez
I wanna see a redesign of Schera with her hopefully having short hair.
Xavier Young
"Hey, Debaucherous Prince, I think you got the wrong address. The Noble Salon is two blocks down."
"…fuck you."
Nathan Thompson
...
Josiah Green
Or perhaps an ULTIMATE MISHY PANIC X FINAL battle with Laura.
Ethan Jenkins
Falcom x Rabbits RPG when?
Camden Sanchez
I swear the thought had actually crossed my mind some time well before this pic came out. I'd have preferred she have gone "Opera Singer" though.
That's nice to think about; Emma being a radio announcer. But I also think that she'll be 'just' returning from her trip around to learn about Witches and the Divine Knights.
Jackson Jones
I hope Randy and Rean are bros and that Randy doesn't hold a grudge against him. Rean needs a fun friend now that Crow is dead. None of the other Class VII guys really work as "the fun one."
Samuel Bennett
+2700 ADF from equipment alone, this is madness!
Nolan Smith
praise aidios for tiger hearts and crimson eyes
Jacob Miller
Mark the day lads. They said that's characters and system data. We might get to see what those Class VII silhouettes teased.
Chase Hall
The art book will be out before then. They could easily be in there.
Noah Bailey
Oh yeah, I forgot that was going out with the YS 8 re-release. I haven't really been following info on it, didn't know it was releasing soon.
Angel King
I don't know exact day but it's some time in late May. Maybe next week?
Thomas Howard
It releases this Thursday.
Logan Lewis
...
Jayden Clark
What does he mean by "a revival of the series"?
Also I was told they were working in two Ys games. So what it is?
Hunter Brown
...
Jack Torres
Guan's cursory translation had them saying they have two in the works. It might have changed once more people came in to double check his work. To me, though, "revival" should be remake considering there's nothing to revive. That's just me.
Dominic Martin
Yeah, probably not an accurate translation. Sounds TOO good. I mean, TWO Ys!? Unless Falcom hired a lot of new employee I don't see it.
David Harris
Oh shiiiiiii
Are there higher rez images? Also, surprisingly most of thsoe characters are new, save Alan, Vivi and Beatrix. Are there more pages?
Carson Martin
That's all I've seen.
Also the guy in the top left is probably Hugo.
Connor Davis
You're right.
Dylan Long
Oh, hello.
Xavier Murphy
Oh hey, this reminds me of that great fishing minigame from the 3rd!
Leo Turner
Man, they scrapped a Trails Party minigame. Now I want one with multiplayer so I can stream Trails Retardy.
Christopher Torres
...
Brody Morris
I swear, I love the little touches Zero has. >Randy and Joshua's conversation after the race
Cooper Rogers
Oh my god, white supremacy!!!
Levi Taylor
So Alan joined the army (compare his collar to Laura's silhouette). Is that Beatrix?
Mason Ward
Yep, and don't forget that wee bam in the top left.
Aiden Jenkins
...
Jose Brooks
No idea what's happening in these.
Eli Carter
Sorry for the poor quality, I'm grabbing these from people on Twitter, who presumably got a hold of the leaks or the artbook and are taking quick pictures.
Isaac Thompson
Look at screen at the bottom of Randy's page. Thors II mecha combat class confirmed.
Bentley Murphy
...
Christopher Anderson
Top right is Aurelia bombing the shit out something, possibly North Ambria, left and bottom right appear to be Emma.
Jaxon Williams

Gabriel Morales
Oh god he's drunk at noon again.
Juan Johnson
That's what losing power to Osbourne can do to a guy.
Asher Reed

Colton Morales

Nathaniel Gray
I have to admit that the full 3D graphics of Sen III is looking pretty nice. Way better than the previous Falcom games. I think i won't miss the sprites as much as I think. Also Olivier in his FC/SC clothes looks pretty good.
The game only lacks Estelle and Joshua and we'll have one hell of a game.
You cheesy motherfucker
Nicholas Turner
What class is Renne going to be in, do you think? At this point, I can't see it not happening, given who else is there and that Thors II is full of Crossbellians and mecha maesters, of which she is both.
Austin White
No idea, I haven't played CS I & II yet
Grayson Cooper
At this point I kinda hope they don't turn up, but at the same time I won't be disappointed. I'd probably be happy to see them again. I just think they've had a lot of spotlight, from Sky to Crossbell.
It's Lloyd's and the rest of the Crossbell's cast turn now.
Really the only other Sky character I want to see returning is Schera, and that's mostly because of what her and Olivier talked about in Sky 3rd.
Michael Butler
Falcom sticks in a graphics range that's above the last generation but not up to the current one.
Daniel Gutierrez
Ash is getting an eyeful of that Towa butt, I see.
Liam Kelly
But I want a fight that has Rean, Lloyd, Kevin and Estelle as the battle party. If they wait to do that until Calvard then there will be too many main MCs.
Jason Scott
You're worried about too many cooks spoiling the pot as you try to hire more cooks to spoil the pot.
Austin Taylor
At this point with everything else they're doing, it's really not that much more. They're already past maximum capacity for Trails games. We might as well see how far the madness takes us.
Adam Wright
Let's not. There's obviously a direction they're going for with all of this and it'll most likely end with a passing of the torch to Crawford and crew. We had that to an extent with Sara and the other teachers at Thors seeing their students rise and try to take out a staggering foe. This'll be that, but from Rean's perspective as a teacher. Just bringing characters back to have an epic all out fight with all of the protags from the games is fucking dumb at this point. Which is why they'll wait at the very end of the series as a whole to do it with a multi tiered boss
John Hall
I think what they're doing is something like… okay, Estelle and Joshua were the heroes of Sky, they'll have a hand on Crossbell.
Lloyd and his gang were heroes of Crossbell, they'll have a hand in Cold Steel.
And likely Rean and a few others will crash Calvard's party.
Christian Adams
It's just the right amount of cooks at the momentexcluding Nayuta and Akatsuki. Now would be the time to do it, if ever.
Jeremiah Diaz
With or without survivors?
Gabriel Davis
I thought the last game was going to star Ouroboros and have you fuck up everyone from the previous games.
Christian Jenkins
Given Calvard's terrorism, probably with no survivors.
Tyler Scott
Is the Ys VIII Append Music Collection from the PS4 version?
Ah, suddenly it makes sense. The new Ys vs. Kiseki is going to be musou style and built off in the interception battles from Dana. Very cool.
Robert Moore
Don't be crazy. Four is a magic number.
Juan Mitchell
...
Levi Jackson
Yeah, like DC Comics.
Carson Martinez
...
Justin Johnson
I fucked up. I fucked up real bad.
Is there any way to beat the final boss of TitS 3rd on hard with Tita and Josette in tow? I thought there was a mid-boss gauntlet before the final boss, i tried to make every party as balanced as possible thinking it would let me select my 4 strongest afterwards Can I just grind them up to be useful? at level 138 Josette is completely useless and tita can get soem minor damge in with the orbal gear at best. I ccan't figure out what orbment setup I should be going with them either.
I really don't want redo that whole dungeon again.
Leo Campbell
Anybody wanna see a bootlegged Sen 3 PV?
Henry Perry
Celceta's PC port isn't bad at all. It runs well and just about the only bugs are fixed with a patch that comes in with the translation.
Jayden Stewart
I don't know if I really want this or really don't. I guess I must first play 8 and see the musou battles feel like first.
Kayden Ward
Also the music from the musou battle that was posted like a year or so. Christ I've waited so long for it and it was well worth it.
Dylan Barnes
They're not musou-like at all.
William Smith
They aren't? Then what's this I hear about it having musou elements?
Logan Kelly
You fight several few enemies at once but I wouldn't say it's musou-level.
Colton Reyes
As long as they aren't Celceta/Seven tier trash mobs I'm fine with fighting any number of enemies.
Christopher Garcia
Getting excited now. The Kurt S-Craft is delicious, and Singa's doing some better arranging now.
Defense battles in Ys VIII are closer to Origin's arena mode, but with more structure and relevance to the main game.
Bentley Ramirez
...
Isaac James
WHAT
Charles Robinson
Why is Olivier the only one with an actual japanese name?
Charles Hill
Pretty sure that's his title, the emperor's son.
Hudson Wood
Paradise… always smile never say your sorry never cry.
Goddammit Falcom that one was right in the nuts. No I'm not crying
Noah Perry
That wasn't me.
Jordan Rodriguez
Is this…?
Aiden Cruz
Hey look, Ein appears in One Piece
Luis Price
...
Leo Edwards
Replace everything with Renne.
David Powell
I think it's fair to call them musou like, but it's really just large waves of enemies you have to prevent from crossing your gate (including bosses and dangersaurs), with the people of the village contributing (so dogi and grandma laura show up and attack, others buff you or inflict status ailments), there are traps and defenses you can upgrade.
Wyatt Sanders
Well fuck I did it all again, Should I go with Gaia Shield or Genesic Barrier for the boss?
Anthony Ward
Try Genesic Barrier first, as doesn't that have a duration of turns rather than times it gets proc'd?
Chase Torres
Yes.
Ayden Miller
...
Liam Cooper
Osborne's degenerate agenda strikes again.
Nathan Wood
I wanna fuck em
Brayden Thompson
Made it. Genesic barrier works great for the pillar phase but doesn't do anything for the rest except block that time attack he never uses. Gaia shield is probably more useful overall.
Well apart from the very last dungeon being complete ass just like the other ones, thanks for the consistency, it was great. Can't wait for Cold Steel.
Samuel King
I thought the final dungeon for CS2 was pretty good.
CS1 was alright. But the theme, as usual, was great.
Jonathan Hughes
What was wrong with the Liber Ark, besides the backtracking? I thought it felt like a realist version of Zeal (although it's actually Shevat/Solaris).
I agree with 3rd's being shit though, there needed to be some way to pass around equipment or party members before going into the boss rush.
Anthony Ramirez
Again, why is it called "Evolution"?
Jack Moore
Drawn by the new team.
Jackson Hughes
I like the cover art of it, though.
David Richardson
Oh yeah you're right, the second one's wasn't all that bad to be honest, at least until you got to the tower.
Nicholas Lopez
I wonder how many great conversations I missed because I didn't have the right combination of characters at the time.
Aaron Scott
At least the music was comfy.
Jeremiah Flores
I kept thinking that at every chapter 6 boss. Like I'm sure there's something interesting if you beat Cassius with Joshua and Estelle but I was too lazy to go back to base and change equipment around.
Josiah Cruz
Ries needs to come back for another game.
Oh, speaking of Ries, you guys think Rosine and Thomas will have a bigger role in CS3?
They really designed Rosine like a background character. Totally got me
Josiah Hill
TELL ME ABOUT IT I have no idea who to pick now in Ch6, there's too many great characters.
Jayden Myers
He talks about how proud he is of them and such and to take time to value their journey. I brought them and Richard, it was pretty tight.
Camden Stewart
She's a semi-major character in Ao, actually. Hell, she and Kevin both get to do some pretty rad shit.
I saw pick related on a replay of CS and did a double-take.
Tyler Wright
She was nice. Back when I played CS and first time playing CS2 I was thinking that I wanted to waifu her.
And then I played through CS2 again.
Brayden Young
After playing through third I still don't know whether people in the Septian Church are allowed to marry or not…
They're clearly based on the Catholic church, who can't. However, Japanese tend to view these sorts of things they way they view shrine maidens and Buddhist monks, who can. Kevin certainly talks a big game, but we never see him act on any of it. The Gralsritter could also follow different guidelines entirely. Ein teases Toval about it as well.
Samuel Campbell
Chapter 3 has been fucking fantastic in Zero so far. I loved this whole exchange.
Matthew Hall
...
Gavin Gray
I'm loving the 3D models that the SSS has been getting for Sen III. Can't wait to be able to play that shit at launch, it's a pretty damn great feeling.
Colton Harris
That wasn't meant to be spoilered.
Lucas Torres
REMEMBER THE GARRELIACAUST
Robert Phillips

Bentley Williams

Jack Morales
NISA started his Ys 8 stream. They just said they tried to be consistent with the previous games
twitch.tv/nisamerica
Is that a tranny with black lips?
Connor Sanders
I am almost terrified to watch
someone else watch it for me
William Diaz
American release September 12th, European 15th. All three versions.
Alexander Butler
Sorry for the spam, but
Caleb Smith
Nice try NISA, but I'm not giving you a cent
Hudson Jenkins
He has never appear with XSEED, right?
LITERAL CUCKING
;_;
William Miller
No censorship confirmed.
Please don't lie
Aaron Gray
I have the urge to go now and ask him if Ys will be the only series to obtain NISA's cancer
They've said no censorship before tons of game releases and then did I complete 180 on their statement pulling the ESRB excuse.
Kayden Richardson
There's not even anything to censor. There's what, naked Laxia?
Nolan Peterson
I just want to believe, user. I JUST WANT THIS RELEASE TO BE GOOD, MAYBE NISA WILL DO THE GAME JUSTICE, MAYBE!!!
Noah Bailey
New trailer
For Celceta, they used "travelogues". Although I think this particular term has no consistance even on the XSEED releases
I know that's the oficial Engrish term, but I think they meant "Siren". Whcih makes sense since I've seen a Siren Dana concept art somewhere.
Also I think it won't be released on GOG.
And I just read someone claiming that Tom said they were still going to do something Ys related. Anyone knows?
Levi Carter
No plans on releasing on GOG for the PC version.
Gabriel Anderson
You have no fucking idea of NISA's history. It's all lies. They say this shit just so they get good press and false hope from retards like you. And If by some fucking miracle it comes out okay, the next game the quality will drop hard. They do this every time they swipe away a series they don't deserve from a company that handled it for years.
Grayson Moore
Fuckers
Charles Lee
How bad is the localizations for YSVIII?
Brandon Wood
Denuvo confirmed then?
Adam Gray
Oh fuck off.
Actually, someone ask them this.
Chase Thompson
I want to get into TitS, is the localization any good or should I play in jap? I know, always play the original if you can, but it looks text heavy as fuck which would be too tiring
Isaac James
They're playing the Jap version so they don't have to show the work they have to this point.
Elijah King
The localization for TitS is very good, and even gets updates if needed
Leo Miller
im-fucking-plying
Chase Reed
Trails' localization is great.
Xavier Torres
The translation is great and XSEED even managed to improve it in some areas. Also the Japanese for Kiseki games are really hard with a lot of complex made up terms.
Noah Gonzalez
The localizations are all very good and they're even backporting information they didn't have access to at the time into the older games.
Jason Ramirez
Thanks, good to know a series that isn't cucked. Are there torrents for all the three games yet?
Nolan Davis
…yes. But I'd ask you to consider buying them. If not right away then eventually. Good localization should be encouraged. The games go on sale fairly regularly.
Adam Gonzalez
I was pretty shocked that the Japs would know the actual consequences and not sugar coat it. Even more so when Calvard takes in lots of Not-Asians, right? Even the Irish were never anywhere near as bad as snackbars and niggers.
Jaxon Johnson
Look in the share thread, at least buy them during the summer sale if you like them. Good localizations should be supported unless they're from NISA because that's how they fucking scam you
Hudson Diaz
Wow it's almost like people of similar genetic and culture background are able to assimilate quickly.
Leo Morgan
Do not pirate these games, they deserve to be bought. You can get them from GOG if you hate Steam.
Austin Morris
t. Brittany
Carter Price
...
Eli Harris
...
Hudson Davis
I am pretty sure that wasn't how the lines went. I'm pretty sure the immigrants by the truck load comment was preceded by Killika making a point about a lack of national unity.
Luke Richardson
Yes. I switched them for effect.
Landon Diaz
Sure, I'll certainly buy them when I get a fucking job
Liam Sanders
nice
Luis Brooks
...
Xavier Williams
Goddamnit Tio.
Michael Gray
Either post a translation or summary or stop fucking posting.
Daniel Ward
Ehh, less direct Zero spoilers before someone finishes something, the better for me, at least. He posts for himself and others who get it, and that's fine.
Leo Watson
It's making me mad because I am jealous and can't learn japanese.
Aiden Rivera
Reminder that we have the Brandish stream in 8 hours
twitch.tv/xseed_games
I hope I'm not wrong and the game gets ported
Carson Stewart
If they start porting PSP games, I wonder if there is a chance of Wild ARMS XF on steam. Or is that owned by Sony?
Angel Ward
When's the Nayuta PC port?
Charles Martin
Wouldn't that and Brandish would be the easiest because they're fully 3D, Nayuta even moreso than Brandish, as it doesn't have big face sprites for shops?
Dominic Foster
Nayuta uses 3D in shops.
Jacob Ward
That's what I just said user.
Matthew Perez
I think the PSP game that makes the most sense if we are talking about porting, it's Ys Seven. Being Ys and with the release of 8 on September, it should make more money than Brandish or Nayuta, which needs a translation as well.
James Lee
The question mark made me think you were asking but then I realized that was all one sentence.
Henry Anderson
Ys Seven already has a Chinese PC port that XSEED could use too.
Isaac Rogers
It's in the hands of the Chinese who wants to release the game on Steam and years ago said they were going to release Ys Seven on English for PC.
Jonathan Foster
Xseed doesn't own the rights to the Chinese ports and neither does Falcom.
There's a reason why fan translations are a thing: they sidestep all the legal and business fuckery.
Jason Morgan
The Irish did not assimilate. The Irish became Americans without giving up their religion or culture. They organised themselves and became a political force with influence all the way up to Washington. Luckily mudslimes are lazy, poor, ignorant and disorganized so they can be safely ignored by the rest of society (barring the ocassional terrorist incident).
Jordan Sullivan
Your idea of what assimilation should be is not historically correct. America's founding structure assumes a patchwork white christian religious and ethnic polities. The original government of the state of Maryland was explicitly Catholic, so clearly having Catholic communities was not a dealbreaker.
It probably means the game manages to expand the Ys fanbase by its own merits, so doing a good job should ensure that.
I know, I'm probably in denial.
Also the very same app just got another update. I'd rather get paranoid about this.
Elijah Morgan
what if the app is Brandish TDR PC and they're just getting the finishing touches ready for the stream in 45 minutes?
Mason Cox
You are. A "broader range of people" means they're going to go for the demographics that don't give two shits about the series by rewriting characters and injecting memes. They say they contacted XSEED about keeping things consistent but that only means they got a skeleton sheet of information to fill in what they want with.
Luis Martinez
That's exactly what I mean by the app. I'd rather think about this.
If Ys 8 ends up being shit, at least I won't think about it until it's proven. Then I'll accept the ugly truth.
Elijah Bennett
XSEED is late because they've been drinking all afternoon again.
Tyler Rogers
I wonder if they're in talks with Falcom over CS3.
Robert Hernandez
Given that they're bringing CS1 and CS2 to PC, I thought it was all but confirmed they were doing the same for CS3. I figured that is probably why they didn't get Dana, it would be too much at once.
Thomas Hall
I'm pretty sure they WILL do it, it's just the matter of "when".
Brayden Brown
Change of plans. They're going to stream Xanadu Next instead since everything is broken and they can't stream Brandish.
Jackson King
...
Robert Johnson
I sure hope those dastardly Lomans don't invade Barthage again.
Logan Young
Adel and Dantrel will take care of those damn Lomans with the help of Adel's dear friend Doge-y.
Caleb Hill
I just hope that Satrap Guresureda can navigate her divide loyalties.
Asher Garcia
So did anything interesting happen in the stream?
Colton Watson
The PSP is a garbage piece of shit when it comes to stream
Jack James
So…not a lot of hope for Crossbell, then…
John Rogers
What the fuck do those games have to do with the stream
Benjamin Thompson
Ohhhh I thought that said Steam. I'm dumb.
Adrian Gomez
I still hope there's something in the works for Brandish TDR on PC at some point, but it seems I didn't miss much from the stream. Ah well.
Even if they somehow got the rights situation down pat, Joyoland's conversion of Ys Seven is really flawed, way more so than what Celceta got. It'd be less expensive and more successful if XSEED commissioned someone else to port from PSP to PC.
Isaiah Moore
Not for NISA you idiot. They've said this countless of times for localizations and it led to one result; Heavy rewrites and censorship. They said the exact same fucking line for the Touhou games and that led to countless mistranslations and name changes. They said the exact same fucking line for the Atelier series and that led to countless mistranslations and name changes. They said the exact same fucking line for Criminal Girls and look how that turned out.
Doing a good job is the exact opposite of what that quote means. Stop trying to justify giving NISA money.
Zachary Davis
There are PC versions of both Crossbell games. I think they're chinese.

I don't even get what there is to change in Dana, they'll probably just do an incredibly shitty job. They're probably too lazy to censor Dana's sexy and revealing outfit.
Jose James
Theyre from the same people who have the 7 and Celceta PC versions. They threw them up on greenlight months ago but took them down for some reason
Jayden Garcia
The Zero port was released on Japan by Falcom themselves. I suspect that's app 427700.
Jace Moore
I can dream, but I'll believe it when it see it.
Dominic Robinson
Don't say this.
It'll only hurt more when it's not.
Levi Johnson
I've managed to be right about future releases and other stuff concerning Falcom quite a lot of times in the past. I think the odds are in my favour.
But yeah, it's better not to raise hopes just in case. Nothing is written, for the better or worse.
Evan Baker
Can Estelle be more smug?
Parker Collins
Yes, when she gets back in a future game
Charles Cooper
Estelle's Zero and Ao face doesn't lend itself as well to smug. I hope that if she does come back in CSIII we get to see it in 3D.
Chase Murphy
It has the potential to be smug. I really love the art for Zero and Ao, goddamn.
But yeah, seeing her expressions in 3D would be good, given how this expression for Tio came out.

I wish I had less shit quality of these.
Anyway, top left to right we have Hugo (who we already know), ??? who I'll save until the end, Zeska? (don't know exact spelling) who seems to be a Thors II student in Musse's class, Barkhorn aka the Eighth Dominion: The Roaring Lion, Alan (who we know) and Vivi (who we also know).
Bottom is Juna's family, Sensen who is a Crossbell waitress from Zero and Ao, Shin who I don't remember is from Zero or Ao or not, Beatrix (who we know), and Kairi who seems to be another new student.
As for ??? the nips seem to have guessed (and I think they're right) that she's Ines the Stout, another member of the Stahlritter. Notice her outfit is almost identical to Duvalie's civilian outfit.
Camden Diaz
I don't think Tio's a good indication, considering they'd need a similar expression for Fie. Imagine her bangs grey, and you'll see Fie.
Estelle smug had the be hand drawn. With the way the art style has been since Cold Steel, I doubt we'll see the return of Smugstelle proper. This is CS smug.

Who is going to die in Cold Steel 3?
Josiah Sullivan
Sadly, probably Osbourne. I could see Emperor Eugent dying too, or if the climax involves Osbourne trying to attack Liberl again, perhaps Queen Alicia.
Caleb Morris
Has there been a main character who isn't a villain actually die in a Trails game up to this point?
Liam Ward
DON'T SEXUALISE THE FALCOMS
Camden Clark
But Falcom sexualises the Falcoms.
Christopher Ramirez
Aurelia.
Kayden Nguyen

Noah Edwards
Lena, but then again, since Aidios is the Grandmaster, that makes her a villain.
Cameron Watson
It was also just her temporary physical body she was using to live among humans one last time before she enacted her plans that died anyway.
They're only talking about the additional functions of the gospels (mind control, earth vein manipulation, etc), and how it's the tip i. e. terminal of the Aureole, a goddess given miracle.
John Young
Bleublanc has all but spilled the beans several times.
Ayden Walker
Why do I feel that making that troublesome map from CS to run at 60 fps is going to delay the release quite more than expected?
Thomas Sanders
From 1 (Never Ever) to 10 (Already working on it but haven't announced it), what are the odds of a crossbell localization?
Jason Flores
The odds are there. It'll happen eventually. From 8-4 this time. With no supervision.
Andrew Edwards
Unless the above user is right about them working on it in super secret this whole time I'm gonna say 6, but it won't be done until after they release CSIII in English, making it mostly moot.
Josiah Baker
Why does everyone in the new branch of Thors have huge tits?
Asher Bennett
because TitS sell. Well, there are Tita, Towa, and Altina to balance it all out. If we're going with all of the smaller breasted ones, then there's a good competition going.
William Powell
I'm okay with this.
I hope Emma shows them all up though.
James Morris
Juna is gonna witness the sword of a Vander, isn't she?
Adrian Peterson
So are Juna and Kurt gonna have a similar 'encounter' to Rean and Alisa's?
Joseph Davis
Could be what was going on here.
Luis Sanchez
Finally going through Zwei!! II's OST…it's pretty good even with a lot more mid-period Sonoda in the second half (but he started improving a lot in this soundtrack). Here's an Unisuga track.
This edit has no right to have turned out so well.
She'll follow Lucy's example and conquer him through femdom…or maybe not, he's a slippery fuck.
Crossbell genes are awfully nice for T&A.
I hope they don't pull the same gag again, but it's pretty likely they'll do something similar. Even Ys games now have to start with a lewd moment near the beginning.
How would it be moot? I can't imagine all of Ao's crazy shit will be spoiled in Sen III since Falcom still wants to sell some version of that game, and these games are often about the journey to climactic moments. Certain details will get the most focus. I think Zero's patch will be out before Cold Steel III's release or the basis for an XSEED release of it also before CS III.
Tyler Baker
I imagine XSeed will likely give a detailed plot summary of the Crossbell games if they don't get a proper release before CS3, either on a website or they'll find a way to put it into CS III's start menu. Or they'll go 200% and write a full on novelization.
Parker Morris
I think Muse is so cute. Goddamn her hair.
Luke Nguyen
I'm finally getting around to playing the bulk of Trails in the Sky, after having already gone through Cold Steel 1 & 2.
Is it weird that I'm suddenly a lot less impressed with Cold Steel, and I'm only on Chapter 3? This is the same shit that helped made Star Wars Episode VII the steaming shit it was. I mean, I know Sara's method for teaching Class VII was literally "do Bracer shit," but there's a point where it gets way too weird with similarities.
Juan Edwards
Wait until you get to the end of FC.
Elijah Howard
Juna and Kurt OTP confirmed
Ryder Cooper
I understand that. Sara's curriculum for Class VII was to make them do Bracer stuff. Though I've got no problem since it's revealed that Olivert set it all into motion and he probably wanted Class VII graduates to take the place of Bracers since Osbourne was shuttering the guild
I think my biggest gripe was that they took away the customization of the orbments for a more streamlined take.
I think it's even referenced in game in CS2 by Lloyd and Rixia, where they say it doesn't offer much leeway when it comes to customization, but it allows you to be powerful.
Luis Morgan
If you're already impressed by Ruan, you'll be stoked through all of SC. Cold Steel writing wise is inferior to Sky, but it's not bad. Still got me to care about everyone but Alisa.
William Garcia
It's not that I'm "impressed" by anything, it's that I realized I've already played these exact same scenarios (from the later game in the series, but still, exact same).
Can you at least tell me that first Sky and first Cold Steel are the only games that draw parallels like this? Despite seeing as many spoilers as I have in this general thread, I don't think I ever got this notion, and I don't know if I'd be interested going into SC if people would agree "Cold Steel 2 is rewrite of SkySC, just like Cold Steel was a rewrite of Sky."
Logan Garcia
SC and CS OO are completely different games.
Those parallels are probably happening because CS I was made with newcomers in mind. Still, there are a lot of differences between FC and CS I.
Justin Stewart
I don't think anyone will tell you that Cold Stee II is the same as Sk- >remember the intermission and Estelle's kidnapping >remember the War story and the war like scenarios that especially occur in the late game of SC >remember the new loli villains introduced
… SC doesn't have mechs… Soldat like mechs. Or a character who gives rousing speeches. Or a find my friends arc… it focuses on a single friend finding. It does start with you waking up from forced unconsciousness, just like CS II though. Okay there are general story beats copied but you've got to go deeper than that.

I like how just one character is bad. Everyone is average to godlike. That's great. Even the average characters are useful.
I want to fug Vita.
Zachary Gomez
Huh, I've never seen Gaius nor Elliot place high on a Tier list. Especially Gaius. People said his Wild Rage was weak compared Agate's.
Wyatt Powell
I'm gonna be honest, I stole this from somewhere else. Persona my party was always Rean, Laura, Fie, Emma and Sara. Though I'd imagine Sharon probably definitely broke the game more than any of them, to say nothing of the mirror characters. I just thought this list was kinda funny.

Is there a Trails character who is more for bullying than Duavlie?

I hope that is right just to see the look on Duvalie's face when she realizes it.
Brayden Walker

Caleb Edwards
as it should be
Noah Howard
Well we'll get more time with her to learn about her. Glad she isn't as aggravating as Millium.
Julian Foster
That's because we've barely spent any time with her and she has very little in the way of character whatsoever.
Luis Martinez

Josiah Kelly
Doubtful. She could use a good headpat.
Ian Smith
Also,
Christ Holla Forums is slow on the weekends. I know it's Memorial Day, but still…
Brandon Bailey
We're past 300 replies so the thread is auto-saging, user.
Jason Martin
I think the user meant it should be lower than that. Like page 11-12. Or perhaps 13 (that's when you're allowed to make a new one, right? Or is that 14?)
Colton Thompson
I know. I'm waiting for page 13 so I or someone can make a new thread. But we've been on 9 for like four hours.
John Mitchell
Ever since Mark the fag was feeling more inferior than usual one day and came down on us, yes, not until page 13.
Dominic Gutierrez
What the fuck does Mark have to do with any of this. We don't have to wait until page 13 anyway.
Wyatt Sanders
Yeah we do. Last time we did it before 13 he got mad and locked the new thread and then we didn't have a thread for the day.
Xavier Nelson
I don't remember that at all. And I've started a few threads before reaching page 13
Logan Ward
It's possible you got lucky then, but I distinctly remember it happening.
William Gutierrez
We used to start them immediately after we hit 300. We were like that for months until, like I said, Mark was feeling inferior and needed SOMETHING to make himself feel useful.
Luke Brooks
Just make a new thread, I doubt he will care that much.
Lincoln Stewart
What if Duvalie already knows?
Dominic Perry
I doubt she'd look down on and want to fight Arseid so much is she knew Victor used to Radiant Blade Dance in her master's butt hole.
Nathan Wood
Perhaps that's why she does it. She wants to feel how her master felt.
Matthew Hall
Where's CS for PC XSEED
Nicholas Hall
summer

So in 3 days, gotcha user, thanks

Even if you assume it comes out on the first day of summer, that's still more than 21 days away
Xavier Russell
I'm just dying to play another Trails user. I want to believe.
Evan Myers
The rules have been saying to make a new thread on page 13 or at 700 posts for like 2 years.
