>Q: It feels as if each member of the Arkride Solutions Office has been set-up with someone to confront: Feri’s was the mysterious female warrior, Aaron’s was the Tyrant and Quatre’s Dr. Hamilton. Will these respective conflicts be explored in detail within the next work?

>>555871614
Quatre is a thinly veiled allegory for the insane parents who brainwash and mutilate their kids for the lgbtq cult. But yeah, Kiseki Paradise is eerily similar to the real world Paradise.

Why did he even fake his death anyway kek. He accomplished nothing with it and everyone knows hes alive anyway. Feels like they had some big twist planned and then either forgot or just didnt care enough to actually do anything with it so now he just exists to be yahari man.

I'll have to give it to them, especially with all effort put into it. Atleast it's... unique?

I think most of it simply has to do with roster bloat in terms of gameplay, honestly. When you have as many playable characters across so many titles, you're bound to have stinkers slip in there once in a while.
>>
>>555873470
i mean i appreciate that they actually tried to give a character a unique gimmick but its not really thought out with how it interacts with the games systems
i just really wish they put more thought into the games systems

Rean vs Shizuna Crafts Animations

Winner = Shizuna - Duality

Conclusion: Buff Shizuna's animations please. Especially her S-Craft. She deserves a better looking one.
>>
Lloyd had Garcia rape Grimwood in prison.
>>
>>555886694
I don't think they updated some of the characters animations or crafts too. Maybe Sky took the budget.
>>
The most unrealistic part about Dingo is people thinking that some faggot journalist is a hero because he did some good things we never actually get to see but we're expected to take their words for it
>>
And he'll be back again somehow despite being dead.
>>
>>555887070
Does anyone doubt it? After the reset, Van will be able to save him, or something like that. He won't be resurrected, he just won't die. Dingo is the true MC of the arc.
>>
Idc, Dingo deserves to have sex with Marielle
>>
>>555887363
Haha....
>>
>>555867838
YES. Fucking hell he is so annoying about it I cannot believe Van didn't flip out on Bergard. He knew like fucking 80% of the Horizon was going and he didn't even leak any jack shit despite him being not part of the any faction anymore.

Remove him as a party member NOW. Put Nina in. Hell put Saara in. OR Marielle or Bermotti. I don't give a fuck as long as he's gone.

based on what was discussed last thread with posts like this >>555849035. falcom basically writed themselves into a corner starting by changing the septerrion of fire & earth. originally each septerrion coresponds to a group of people.
>space - a group of scientists(Auslese).
>mirage- alchemists(Crois)
>fire - knights(Arnor)
>earth - artisans(Alberich)
but they change the fire group into witches & the knights became third party(Divine Knights, see the Fire MQ card). witches are planned to be the water or wind group. after cs, falcom was forced to cover the penultimate septerrion(time) before the 8th & 9th. Agnes was originally planned to be a witch before Cold Steel changed everything.
>>
>>555889487
>fire - knights(Arnor)
Witches.
Arnors were chosen as those who didn't belong to either the Fire Tribe or the Earth Tribe.

There I fixed Swin
I mean, at least mechanically, he's still one of the worst things that happened to Trails together with NAdia
>>
>>555891847
They have nothing. All that remains is in the east. I assume the wind is in the desert regions, and the water is on that island, which is definitely not Japan. I thought Calvard would be about water and wind, before the games were released.

>>555876042
Her story was ostensibly continued in a fairly natural manner in Daybreak, but Kondo fucked it up by being a hack. To this day, I do not understand why she wasn't the main protagonist. You can't even cite cynical marketing reasons. Renne is one of the most popular characters in the franchise.
>>
>>555875630
>>555876042
>>555893875
there can never be too much renne

Renne should have just stolen Van from Elaine. Who the fuck cares about Agnes.
Van X Renne is the best actually.
>>
Runny's festering cloaca!
>>
>>555894016
She's popular for a reason.

>>555894328
>implying she wouldn't have just claimed them both
>>
>>555893875
If I were Kondo, I would have made Renne the main heroine. Kondo is such a fucking pussy and a hack.
>>
>>555893875
>she wasn't the main protagonist
Fuck no. We already have a second Sky protag (Kevin).
>>
>>555894702
Too roastie for MC
>>
For the true final arc it's time for the actual canon pairings to show up and finalize their pairings.
>Estelle - Joshua
>Agate - Tita
>Kevin - Ries
>Lloyd - Rixia
>Rean - Fie
>Van - Renne
>Toval - Ein
No more new protagonists. There is no point.
>>
>>555894702
He couldn't do that, because he'd actually have to commit to the idea of spriggans being the grey in-between of bracers and jaegers, since Renne is the kind of character who would have no problem just absolutely ruining someone for a paycheck. So yeah, like you say, Kondo's a coward.
>>
The real reason Renne can't be a protagonist is because of her gameplay style. She's a fragile magic nuke when every other non-Kevin protag is an idiot-proof all rounder.
>>
>>555894702
Thankfully you aren't a writer. Renne is the worst Mary Sue in this series.
>>
>>555874238
>>
the longer I spend here the more I realize you people are genuinely not very smart
>>
>>555897592
Dingo and Hamilton.
>>
>>555898649
Renne is worse than both. Can't beat multiple PHDs by the age of 12. Hamilton and Dingo are just friendly people.
>>
>>555898910
>Hamilton and Dingo are just friendly people
Nani the fuck
Dingo has had three games of being literally Jesus and he fucking died in the first, the other two are just about how he saved everyone
Hamilton is simped for by every faction in the story, from Ouroboros to the Bracers to the feds (betray Gramheart for her) to Gralsritter (betray the Church for her) and she's grabbing things from alternate timeline and the only one that Epstein told anything about his life's work of his supposedly three disciples
>>

>>555894702
I think Falcom originally wanted to make Nadia and Swin the protagonists of the Calvard arc but pussied out and decided a shittier version of Rean would sell more (it didn't)

people talking about how useless swin is, i speedmax him like an anon suggested a few days ago and it's better. i mostly use him as an errand boy though, buffing the team with shields or healing with items
>>
>>555899114
People speaking fondly of you isn't enough to make you a Mary Sue. Dingo is still just some guy who had his pokers in a lot of fires and was there at the right time because of his links to Almata driving him.
Hamilton's complete deal isn't known yet but having more information than others isn't enough to clinch it. Just by itself using that information to create a conspiracy instead of freely sharing the information makes her more flawed than Renne. Knowingly stealing water from the future is incredibly flawed.
>>
It was only when I finished playing Horizon, and finally looking up builds did I realize that they actually finally buffed craft users. Goddamn I have been playing 3 magic users since Cold Steel. Now you could have actually gone back to "normal".
Also I was right in my hunch even though I played her wrong. Judith is fucking broken in Horizon.
>>
>>555900730
>Everyone treating you like the most perfect being to ever exist, to the poin twhere Van says it explicitly in daybreak 2 isn't enough to be a Mary sue
bruh
>Hamilton's complete deal isn't known yet but having more information than others isn't enough to clinch it. Just by itself using that information to create a conspiracy instead of freely sharing the information makes her more flawed than Renne. Knowingly stealing water from the future is incredibly flawed.
Irrelevant if she's just plain worshipped by every faction and makes the other disciples look like chumps. the water thing isn't amounting to anything
>>
>>555900879
I always play on normal, i always play mostly with crafts. Except for Sky.

i didn't use judith at all in 1 & 2. i use her all the time when i can now

>>555900913
Most Dingo worship comes from Marielle while everyone else just gives him his due respect. Do you not like that Marielle isn't slobbering over Van's cock or something?
As for Hamilton, Epstein's disciples are the three pillars of technological development in Zemuria. Are you really surprised that people trust her? It's not like she's a Schmidt. Albert could do the same as her. No Mary Sue would take water from the future. They'd have solved the desertification unlike how Hamilton is only kicking the can down the road. Renne would just type a few things into her Kitty laptop and solve it instantly. I wouldn't be surprised if she does something to that effect.
>>
>>555902243
>It's not like she's a Schmidt. Albert could do the same as her.
She shits on both so far they're barely a factor by comparison
>>
This thread never stops being retarded, does it?
>>
Ragecuck asshole status?
>>
>>555902537
Considering she was revealed to be a fraud with the whole stealing water thing, no. She just got more information but isn't smart enough to make the best use of it.
>>
In the Kai artbook, which I lost due to a computer change, Zemuria was shown to be flat and part of a megastructure.How are the characters going to solve this problem? Isn't Laegjarn part of the structure? Wouldn't that structure collapse if it will completely disconnected?
>>
The Sky 2nd trailer comparing scrafts directly shows why the remake is so inferior
In the original the scraft was allowed the stage, it had time to breathe and be expressive
In the remake they are all insanely fast and with very little detail due to that
Look at Anelace, in the original she launches the enemy high up in the air and the moment is allowed to exist, you feel the enemy suspended in the air for a second which adds weight to her follow up spike
In the remake the enemy barely gets off the ground and she immediately spikes it but it's all floaty and weak due to the hectic speed of it all
It's all around awful, Falcom needs to calm down
>>
Actually, Epstein did a lot of good for humanity.
>>
>>555905320
Gotta appeal to zoomers with fancy aura farm
>>
>>555906605
I can't believe Kondo made Sky the day after he met Epstein.
>>
I think as far as crafts go, Kuro 1 and 2 was in a good direction with the animations being fluid and impactful while not doing anything too fancy either
Kai and the Sky remakes add so much unnecessary bullshit with the camera angles and overexaggerated extra moves added, trying to flex how much they improved since CS1 that it just comes off as tryhard
>>
sky remake crafts make me think theyre tryna go for gacha game style animation like zzz or something
>>
>>555890696
I honestly won't forgive Falcom if they'll use the new loop as opportunity to change entire nations and their histories in Kai 2.
>>
>>
>>555909602
>They'll just use it to gender bend popular characters and as a reason for silly cameos.
Two salt pales weren't enough
>>
>>555909826
>They'll just use it to gender bend popular characters
Falcom aren't trannies, so no. At most, Quatre will have tits.
>>
>>555908637
>>555909298
>>555905320
Do you actually watch animations? I always skip them; I've never seen most of them at all.
>>
>>555910372
>I always skip them;
You didn't finish the game.
>>
>>
>>555910372
only if it's for a character i like
>>
>>555910372
I watch them during bossfights but i start skipping them in normal battles when i already saw every animation
>>
>>555910104
Quatre has literally already had tits in Kai without any loop shenanigans. In a connect event you find out he takes hormone blockers on the regular and without them he can shift into a more female form with tits and everything without warning.
>>
>>555909602
Theyll do it. And possibly erase most of the arc and replace it with a new status quo.
>>
>>555910919
That's why he'll have tits in the new loop. The new loop will change things so that Quatre decided that he felt more comfortable presenting as a woman instead of a man. Then he'll take the pills again and decide to live on the line between being a man and woman, like how Spriggans live on the line between light and darkness.
>>
>>555910919
90% woman, 10% man. If Van wants, Quatre will become a full woman.
>>
>>555911138
>>555911275
I'm honestly genuinely rooting for Quatre to muscle up the courage to double confess to Van and Risette at the same time. Shoot for the moon, kiddo.
>>
>>555910716
>Elie's POV after the loop
>>
>>555911460
>Risette
Forced ship.
>>
>>555893875
Which is why with the Agnes-free timeline of Kai 2, Renne never became student council president and instead joined ASO as its #1 employee instead.
>>
>>555869543
op would be cute if I didn't know some guy goons to this
>>
>>555911990
Extremely based if they write agnes to be supreme cuckqueen. Imagine her watching van flirting with every girl except herself
>>
>>555912292
Eh, I doubt the "amnesia" will last more than one act. In fact Act I will probably have a ton of small deja vu moments where people vaguely recall certain events involving an unknown school girl, finally culminating with the typical Act I cliffhanger where Yume walks in asking "where's Agnes?"
>>
>>555912581
Sunshine Anies already hints how much he will remember.

>Kondo: As for the other project besides Sky 2nd Chapter, we’re planning a major announcement in February. This year marks Nihon Falcom's 45th anniversary, and we hope to build excitement for this milestone by releasing major news in stages.

>Kondo: When it comes to the highest priority and the one everyone has been waiting for the longest, I believe it would be the conclusion to Trails of the Boundary. We hope to dedicate our efforts to this project. However, whether the conclusion to Trails of the Boundary will truly be the next title released ultimately depends on development progress and the company's revenue situation.

Since you can unlock connection events later in Kai, does it matter which ones you pick when they first show up? Do you still get the connection points later? I know you can theoretically max everyone in Kai.

>>555913912
All of important characters in Kiseki, except Machias, are supposed to be women.

>>555913967
There is no lora, even for Dominique, only crap is generated.
>>
>>555915225
Wrong. Every important character is supposed to be a man, or a woman who lusts for a man.
>>
>>555914847
I choose the ones that say the MC was invited. Or the obviously rare ones, like Jorda.
>>
>>555913246
They didn't do any of this for Kai. They really dont give a fuck about the main series now.

The characters are easy to play with and there's an interesting conspiracy theory and suspense. Kevin's characters are weak. Van's first two acts are kinda boring, an uneven route.
>>
How come Estelle has never had a route in one of these weird crossover entries?
>muh assets
Yeah yeah, but it doesn't need to happen in Liberl.
>>
Is there a video that shows the story from start of Trails to recent? I want to refresh my memory on the previous games.
>>
>>555917684
Oh.
>>
>>555923289
These aren't important enough events for her to come from Liberl. This isn't a world war. And in Horizon, almost no one fully understands anything.
>>
>>555921969
He and whatever he's involved with is easier to write.
>>
>>555921969
Process of elimination. Kevin's route literally has picnic shitters dragging him down + complete character regression and Van's route is stuck in Edith with literally only the finale being any good. Rean's route is not anything to write home about either whatnot with it being complete sequel-bait but at least at it has some nice fight scenes if you're a power-level tard.
>>
>>555923808
>picnic shitters dragging him down
I laughed so hard at this bullshit. The guy hired some zoomers who ended up ruining his mission. And this was supposed to be some kind of dramatic moment.
>>
Leave the Calvard arc to me!
>>
>>555923678
Hm. You know, in a way I'm kinda glad she's mostly disconnected from all the overly complicated nonsense of the latter parts of the series.
>>
>>555923289
Because Estelles route would involve sex and becoming pregnant which Kondo the incel would never allow.
>>
>>555924305
Nah. Could be fun, but even Team Good Apples can't salvage this.
>>
>>555923289
Kiseki only truly started in Crossbell.
>>
Skykeks, why did Kondom feel the need to reassure people that news on other games is coming in February?
>>
>>555924530
Nobody would have sex with Manstelle though
>>
>>555924256
>The guy hired some zoomers who ended up ruining his mission
To be fair to Kevin, he told them to fuck off and get lost numerous times and that he only needed Rufus. He KNEW they'd get in his way the instant shit starts going down, and surprise surprise, they ended up getting in his way.

i just hate the way the camera moves in these new crafts it just makes it hard to follow whats actually going on in some of the crafts and there too many quick cuts in some cases
it feels like theyre made for tiktok kids or something
>>
>>555924767
Nobody wants Kiseki to be post poned so that remakes can come out.
Sounds like Estelle might need to apologise soon for her remakes.

>Additionally, in our previous development workflows, we simultaneously worked on both systems and scripting. These two components often required waiting for each other, increasing development complexity. However, during the development of ''The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 2nd'', scripting for ''Kai no Kiseki's sequel'' had already commenced in advance. This means that when we return to developing ''Kai no Kiseki's sequel'' the script will be nearly complete allowing them to dedicate more resources to the project.
Haha...

>>555924767
Fufu... The Estelle Experiment has failed. She has consistently been outsold by the male protagonists. It's time to clear the slate and return to the Spriggan Man.

The characters are entertaining unlike the other two routes.
>>
>>555925992

>>555926748
ESLtellebro... They said that they've been spending all of this time writing the game's script. It's the Kiseki game with the most developed script now.
>>
I liked the trailer for Sky Chapter 2.
What Trails game do you next want to be remade?
>>
No amount of additional resources will make Van's game good. Kondo will poor tons of money and dev tools into those projects, and still nothing will actually happen in the story.
>>
>>555926797

>>555927083

>>
3 years for an asset flip kai sequel is wild
>>
When are the remakes going to end? At some point peoplr are just gonna have to bite the bullet and play an older game if they intend to play through the series. Or are they really going to spend the next 20 years remaking everything?
>>
>>555927454
95 hours for Edith + Shining Garten, lmao
>>
>3+ years to plan out and polish the script
There's zero excuses for this to not be the best game in the series. If it's not peak kino then the writers are genuinely irredeemable and should all be fired.
>>
>3 years of purely writing Van's last game which is more than any CS game has ever gotten

>>555927563
They probably won't actually start development until after SC remake is released.

>>555927654
Well, it’s hard to come up with anything good quickly after an ending like in Horizon.
>>
>>555927538
They're absolutely going to remake everything up to CS2 at the minimum since it's easy low effort filler that rakes in the cash.
>>
>>555927563
Kondo doesn't realize that the longer they put Kai 2 off the more people are going to expect from it. If Kai 2 came out a year after Kai most people would have been accepting of all the asset flipping but if we wait 3-4 years for Kai 2 and it's still just another Kuro 1 asset flip people are gonna lose their shit.
>>

Kai 2 will just another game thats all nostalgiabait no substance and the plot will barely move until the end. Falcom will never learn. And why would they learn? All the game needs is a few.cameos and the retarded fanbase will shout KINOOOOOOOOOOOO from the rooftops even as they sit through the 17th testing your resolve fight.
>>
>>555929089

>>
>>555921969
As someone who just finished Horizon, while I won't say Rean's route is strong, but also not weak, it's just that his route has focus.
The problem with Van's route is that he meets so many people and factions and all of them go "Hmm, yeah I have an idea, but I won't tell you. Nuh uh."
The problem with Kevin's route is that while it has a singular focus, his route has the fucking useless Picnic Fucks. I really wish they did not include Swin and Nadia. I did not have fun in that route.
Rean's route by process of elimnation, also has some of the stuff that I am complaining about in Van's route. Just that it's not that prominent.

Cold Steel used to get constantly shit for doing stuff every other arc did when it was new and now people do the same with Calvard.

I honestly understand even less than I thought I did. It's one thing to have someone care THAT much about Elise (an absurd concept but some characters have very dedicated fans). It's another to make most of the fanfic reading fanbase care to anywhere close to the same degree.

The writing is inherently juvenile. The scenario is rooted in juvenile anime tropes. They will never be able to write a "mature" Trails game. They aren't even capable of portraying genuine human interaction. It's very artificial, in every culture.

It's not that big a mystery. It's a fun read, it keeps what character traits Elise has in the games it can while still deviating substantially from the biggest one (fic Elise is an only child; Rean was never adopted by the Schwarzers) so Elise still feels very "in-character" in the grand scheme of things, and it's still overall fairly close to the tone of the games while giving plenty of focus on other characters.

I think it also has to do with her tard wrangling the manchild, so there is a certain subset of ladies who likely adore her for solely for having that decidedly more feminine streak. Estelle is just every man's tomboy crush on steroids.

He isn't, he's the son of the reincarnation of the emperor. Still a chance that he might be the son of Aidios or something. I don't trust that Estelle, Lloyd and Rean all have dead mothers and they were born in the same year. Lena, Kasia and Lloyd's dead mother could all be avatars of the GM.

Don't worry, the in-house developers at Falcom preferring Sky isn't a problem since Calvard's writing is completely outsourced, haha...
>>
>>555964508
They didn't want Horizon because it's harder to develop a new game over a remake where 90% of the required work lies in asset creation. The remake's development process is much more laid back.
>>
>>555963984
Because no one gave a shit about her initially so they didn't bother daughterzoning her with Rean. She was also the only one who had a chance to escape the Reansphere, so they gaslit themselves to support it just to spite haremfags
>>
>>555965238
Ironically the assets were all outsourced to Gemdrops and a few other companies. That's why there's an actual artstyle in Sky 1st and a general consistent asset quality. Falcom's art team was probably limited to the UI or converting existing assets to the new art style, like the ugly CS horse becoming a statue.

So that just proves my point even more. There was barely any work to be done at all, so it's no wonder the lazy ass devs wanted in on that ""project"" over the one which requires more effort.

The next "real game" is going to be the fourth asset flip in a row. You're going to run around Edith for another 120 hours while Van crosses his arms and closes his arms to say something inane in between his harem saying "Ban-san..." and random discussions about food. You're basically getting a preview of what limbo looks like.

My schizo theory is that some of the writers at Falcom do know this shit is happening. In the West when you say (((they))) run the world, they get called out and shamed or worse, get killed, but since this is Japan and its from a series so niche, they get away with it.

Meanwhile, a show like Inside Job got axed because the show featured a similar plot point and unlike Trails, it was popular so it didnt have that luxury of being left alone

I get the feeling that Risette is just one of those characters that nobody dislikes. There's constant discussion about which characters are shit, either in story or gameplay, but everyone seems to like Risette. Is that the power of cobalt curtain and simply not being annoying as a person?

Shit taste the lot of you, Bergard is best Calvard party member and the real reason Daybreak 2 was shit was because it lacked him.
>>
>>555980740
I don't dislike him. The issue is that he's only there to bloat out the cast.
>>
>>555980740
Master Barkhorn...
>>
>>555980740
He fucking sucks. He offers nothing to the group but then acts like he knew it all the whole time. He has no real chemistry with anyone, not even really with Van. The only two things to come out of this old fucks mouth are yahari and how he knows every single old person on the continent. You could take him out of the games and miss nothing.
>>
They deserved it
>>
>>555980740
He doesn't have a reason to be there. He's just a pointless extra that says "(I thought so...)" in various scenes. Old men with martial arts can be really cool characters, but not like this. Bergard is rightfully shit on for doing jack shit. He tells the party to believe in themselves, he's being a faggot and hiding info, and then he has a background history with every other old character like we're supposed to give a fuck.
>>
He jobbed to a plane...a Calvardian plane...

>>555981329

>>555980740
his character archetype and backstory is badass but the games so far genuinely dont need him. the spriggan slot would've been better off with another younger male active in the story. I would've even rather had leon join the spriggans

Class VII forgot about Otto.

new to trials but I think I get the gist of the battle system. im in prologue but nightmare has been sorta DO OR DIE type scenario. is it worth lowering difficulty down or is the game manageable as long as I'm not too stupid
>>
>>555956130
He's not my favorite, but to my mind he does 3 things
>1) connection to his general dad is used for plot
> 2) He's there to highlight the importance of music in erebonian culture. Liking music wasn't an Olivert quirk, erebonians (opera house, radio, le school festival concert, etc) really like music.
> 3) He's a normal guy. At the start of CS1, most characters have some kind of angst, issues or secrets. Elliot and Gauis are the more down to earth characters to help ground Rean and be guys he can just chill with.
>>
I don't understand why they can't just have a smaller playable cast like the Crossbell games. I think if you're going over 6 party members, it's already over for everyone's character development or presence.

playing trails in the sky 1st chapter. i mean i sorta get the feel. keep bonking enemies until you get them stunned (although i don't see the point of not just bonking them and not going into turnbased considering they hit significantly harder in turnbased mode) and just be smart with movement, keep buffs/debuffs up, and try to group enemies together to hit them with big skills. i just want to make sure there's no stupid "welp you're fucked" if you didn't build a certain way

Odds of TX 2 (and future non-remakes) being simultaneous releases worldwide? You'd hope Falcom would have realized that it's beneficial for them to not make people wait 2 years anymore, haha...

Kondom makes it sound like Nipland isn't profitable at all anymore, so they should 100% get global day 1 releases for every single game from now on.

I dislike how he had to insert musical terms in every sentence later on. "We need harmony or else we'll be caught in this chaotic cadence!!!". He wasn't like that in the first games IIRC

are they remaking the whole series with this new hybrid combat style? I enjoyed the demo but im waiting for a sale. I played the originals in 2017/18 but i've forgotten everything besides some story stuff. I see beyond the Horizon has something similar to the remake in combat so im just wondering whats going on with the series
>>
>>555986301
the hybrid style is likely what every trails game will be in the future yes
>>
>>555986301
Yeah, it's pretty accurate to the original game only with modern hybrid combat mixed with the original's orbment system. As far as Remakes go it's about as good as you can get.
>>
>>555986381
did they say anything about remaking lloyd's games with the hybrid style? i saw they finally made it to steam but for $40. im thinking of replaying this series cause im in the mood for some over the top jap fuckery storytelling

>>555986503
was there anything added into the game that didnt make the original?
>>
Would Falcom actually make Trails in the Sky the 3rd remake before Kai 2?
>>
>>555983357
He almost like a cute little pet in Rean/Altina's family now
>>
>>555986740
Yes. Also Zero.
>>
>>555986740
Yes. Read any interview Kondo has given about Trails in the last year. All he does is bitch about how their team doesn't care about Calvard and that they'll make a sequel to Kai when they feel like it. Sky 1st doing so well in China basically sealed Kai 2s fate and you won't see Kai 2 until probably 2028 or 9.
>>
>>555986740
they said online it was either 3rd or zero next. no reason to not remake 3rd and complete the trilogy then move onto the duology.
>>
>>555986712
Each region gets a little bonus sidequest not in the original, and there are optional hidden caves not present in the original that are filled with mobs, so they make for easy grinding.
>>
>>555987095
That's just self-inflicted gunshot wounds by constantly having cliffhangers on top of increasingly terribly written stories and characters. Kondo and whoever else in charge made their bed, they can lie in it.

So, post-western release of Kai, Kondom says they MIGHT make Kai 2, but that they WILL make either 3rd or Zero remakes no matter what. It's almost like Kondom's been scarred for life after Kai's failure. It was so bad it killed Kato.

CS3 is unique in that it's the only time they made a brand new game from scratch in an ongoing arc. All its content is new. Both CS1 and 3 mog the Calvard arc on their own. CS2 and 4 also had more new locations and content than Daybreak 2 and 3. Same goes for Azure somehow, despite being another trek through Crossbell.
>>
>>555991735
95% of Azure takes place on the same exact 4 highways from Zero but I never see anyone complain. It's one of the worst in the series about Asset flipping.

QUESTION: what does this number mean? Hit count or delay incurred after use?
>>
>>555980740
It's not that I don't like him, I just never used him in my party in Daybreak I, and I don't plan on using him in Horizon either. Same goes with Quatre.
>>
>>555990909
I feel like setting up Aaron is super easy. He just needs A-Impassion and then he can go crazy behind a boss with phoenix barrage and four beastdoms. He was consistently doing damage during boss fights in my Horizon playthrough.

Quatre is better than Risette. His shield buffs every stat in Horizon.

Heh...

>>555991907
>hit count
I fucking wish, falcom is retarded for making a hit counter mechanic and not giving hit values for all attacks.
Those numbers are literally your craft levels. they're supposed to get stronger the more you use them and there's a menu to spend gems to upgrade them more
>>
>>555972308
Sometimes you're all right /fg/
>>
>>555991861
Zero's a short and largely linear game that locks you out of going where you want to each chapter. People probably weren't sick to death of the same areas.

>>555992042
The range of Risette's shield is preferable to Quatre's close range shield + buffs.
Zodiac is easy to cast, and you have Renne to buff people with much wider range if you really need it.
>>
>>555992042
quatre has the small pp shield which isn't as convenient as risette's which is bigger and can be target selected

It's either gonna be Kai 2 or Ys XI. I gave up on Xanadu-anything a long time ago.

What pisses me off about the whole thing is that the whole calvard arc up until now has been painfully slow and almost nothing but sequel bait. All of the character arcs since the first game, tons of the mysteries like Mare and Grendel, pretty much everything that happens in Horizon, it's all just setting up some vague future game where they're apparently gonna pay everything off. 3 of these in a row and it was finally time to actually make that payoff game but only now do they decide that they're burnt out and need a break. Like what the hell did I sit through the last 3 games for? So that when it finally comes time for the payoff you can tell me "Maybe in 4 years when we feel like it"? Why did this arc have to have so much filler and progress so slowly then? It's just such a spit in the face for actually trying to stick with them and the fucking passive aggressive attitude Kondo always has about it in interviews just disgusts me. And if they can't unfuck themselves now then how you can trust them to deliver with the next arc?
>>

There's a big difference in damage output between natural casters/attackers and not. Kevin is the best caster in Horizon, though. His Stigma is retarded.

All character interactions are very stilted and unnatural in this series. It's not even a cultural thing. Look at any FF game. You'll never have this kind dialogue in Trails.

Kai took like 2 years. More time won't help if they don't actually give a damm about it.

Crossbell is a duology/trilogy thats set in a small region that also doesn't take its sweet time to get into big lore stuff.

When will we see him again? Surely he could help destroy Laegjarn's Chest.

There’s no way they will make Agnes canon. Falcom is trying to appeal to the west and having Agnes canon would be too controversial and falcom wouldn’t want that.

wonder how all the newfags will feel when they pick up sky 2nd and realize most of the game is just the exact same map from 1st

They will all clap because "WOAH, IT HAS ME GOING THROUGH THE SAME INDISTINGUISABLE ROADS AND TOWNS AND TALKING TO THE SAME ONE NOTE NPCS FROM THING I LIKE, THIS IS SO PEAK FR FR"

It's funny to play Horizon after Sky 1st. Sky 1st has a lot of verticality and wide open spaces whereas in Horizon every single space is just a flat square or rectangle.

The truth that no one wants to admit is that it makes no sense to remake 3rd, for the simple reason that it is a dungeon crawler. You can't have a dungeon crawler in 2026. This is why Kondo is talking about skipping 3rd to remake Zero.

that makes absolutely no fucking sense

If you don't like going around and talking to your favorite NPCs and finding out how they've been since you last spoke to them, why in the metric FUCK are you playing Trails? Do you cunts all just hate the series?
>>
Towa on the tenth page!
>>
the truth that no one wants to admit is that the remakes didn't need to exist they just needed ports to modern consoles but falcom are just lazy and wanted to hop onto the remake hype train that is currently popular in the industry
>>
>>556004183
>lazy
>makes a whole new game
what a retarded take
>>
>>556004283
a game that is just a 1:1 remake of a game they made 20 years ago right down to the same cutscenes
way easier work than actually making new games
>>
>>556004339
Lazy would be making the fourth Kuso asset flip in a row.
>>
>>556004183
Except they've put more effort into the remakes then almost anything else recently.
>>
Must... put in... effort...
>>
Honestly fire Kondo for his shit business decisions.
>>
>>556005936
i bet kondo only bought one of these and makes the whole office share
