yeah he's admitted as much

he just uses whatever he can find to try and ruin /fg/ because he's a maladjusted egomaniac that got his pride bruised over Cold Steel not being what he wanted and now won't rest until he sees Trails dead
but it won't die so he just gets more and more unhinged

It's evidently not the most important market if we're to believe your narrative. Why would they shelve everything and focus on remakes if Sky 1st failed in "the most important market"? They're with 100% certainty working on either 3rd or Zero after Sky 2nd, not Kai 2, which will happen when it happens.

I think the thing that pisses me off about Calvard the most is how bad it represents returning characters.
Fie is fine, I guess, except why the fuck introduce Aida if Fie isn't going to share in that plot?
Zin and Walter are braindead morons who just love to punch each other for fun.
Rixia is an absolute distaster.
Kevin regressed to his Sky SC personality for some reason and broke his promise to Ries.
I was surprised Rean didn't go back to self-loathing and reflected his character progression in Reverie

Seriously though, what they did to Kevin strikes me as a fundamental misunderstanding of his arc in Sky 3rd.
The problem wasn't that he was taking heretic hunting missions perse, it's that he was taking the most dangerous missions seeking to punish himself and maybe die
In the Gehenna section of Sky 3rd, he is proud of killing Owen and Weissmann.

>The problem wasn't that he was taking heretic hunting missions perse,
Did you ignore the child he killed that made him bedridden for a week that he lamented became common practice for him? Or when he was talking to Weissmann in Gehenna that he became the church's dog?
The heretic hunting was making Kevin cast away his humanity, play the games. That's why Gehenna Weissmann tells him that he can solve everything by doing so.

At the end of the day, these studios and their employees are credited with "Scenario/Event Script" in all the games. Not "event script." This is another reality your mind can't handle. Very embarrassing. And to think the desire to touch children isn't your most broken quality, Mondy.
>>
>>556134850
You're anonymous, how can you have an ego when your identity is not attached to these posts? Is it because you know? You know you failed. Anonymity can't shield you from yourself.
Is that it? You can't let it go because you judge yourself harshly. You know you failed today. So now you must find a way to twist it around so disqualify your failure. You can't simply stop engaging and move on. You must prove it to yourself that you aren't ignorant. But you know you are. You know.
>>
>>556135065
Here's the thing. That's all in your mind. There is no ego. It's some strange delusion concocted in your broken mind, likely brushing up against your legitimate sexual attraction to children, Mondy.

>Killing the kid being turned into a demon isn't even a heretic hunting job...
It was. Kevin was going against the cult at the time and stumbled across the child that they had transformed into a flesh eating monster. He had to put him down after nothing worked to save him. It was a direct result of his Heretic Hunting duties which Kevin blames himself for. Then he further goes to say that situations like that boy became commonplace for him as the heretic hunter.
The heretic hunting exposed Kevin to so much pain and suffering that in order to cope he became more and more detached. He was punishing himself for his past by continuing to heretic hunt and expose himself to these things.
If heretic hunting was never a problem for Kevin, why do you think he changed his title?
>As for "Damned dog", Ein calls herself that and she's not the Heretic Hunter.
Weissmann calls Kevin a damned dog in SC and he completely agrees with Weissmann and laments that he's the heretic hunter. Then it's when he's able to use his stigma's light side that Weissmann gets proven wrong in 3rd.
What you fail to understand is that blaming himself for the deaths of Rufina and his mother is what caused himself to isolate himself as the heretic hunter, but it was the heretic hunting that was chipping away at Kevin's soul. His guilt is what he used to justify letting it happen.
>>
>>556136340
It doesn't. This isn't actually a general meant for discussing the topic. This is a general for people who once played the games to hang out, and it's primarily kept alive by a handful of broken people rage baiting each other indefinitely. One poster in particular views himself as the heart of the general and thinks he's a shitposting chameleon, despite reality being that he's the most blatant poster here. Misery is the point of /fg/.
>>
>>556138736
>The thing that Kevin never ever says he regrets doing is the thing that is actually destroying him inside
He doesn't show any regrets for killing Owen or Weissmann, nor however many cult members he killed, only the child (for obvious reasons).
The reason the Heretic Hunting missions were hurting him is because they were essentially suicide attempts
>>
>>
>>556139020
I thought the issue was fan translations splitting the general, but when games without early translations like Ys IX, X and Sky 1st came out, no one discussed them. It was just the usual hostilities. The only time this general is actually engaged in anything related to the games is when all 5 regulars watch Chinaman stream games in a language they don't understand. You'll never get the engaged /fg/ of 2017 - 2020 back, when people played the games and discussed them and that drove all discussion.
Ironic shitposting cultivated an environment for people not in on the joke to poison with their misery, and that's all that's left. We could get a Kai 2 global release tomorrow and it'd still just be business as usual here.

This line essentially shits on Kevin's entire characterisation in Horizon.
And the localisation is actually accurate here
>>
>>
>>556139384
What you seem to be missing is that heretic hunting is more than just killing bad guys. Situations like that child became commonplace for Kevin and it ate away at his soul. It exposed him to the worst things in Zemuria.
Say if Weissmann had a laboratory full of human abominations beyond salvation that he created. It would be Kevin's job to kill them all after.
That's why being the Heretic Hunter hurt Kevin so much. It wasn't the assassination missions, it was everything in-between. And he believed that he deserved it all because of Rufina and his mother.
>>
>>556140854
I think this
>>556140428
is the counterargument. Previous games already stated the understanding that Heretic Hunting =/= being "The Heretic Hunter"

We needed to wank Swin and Nadia so Kevin regressed in order to allow the kids to force Kevin to go through his character arc again *laughs*
>>
>>556141609
From my perspective, Kevin killing people isn't necessarily a problem. It's that Kevin is regressing back into the Heretic Hunter mindset where he doesn't want Ries to be involved. Kevin regresses into the Heretic Hunter in Kai.

It wont help you b8. if anything people would be encouraged to threadcap your post and share it.
Anyway If it's not just a cohencidence I started to believe that this is a script given to LLMs. "you are x with opinions y and z, you need to constantly make up drama to destroy divide and deflect discussion about subject."

Now that we have Rufus, is Lloyd necessary as a protagonist? Rufus is everything Lloyd is but better. He's cunning, tenacious and while lacking in talent he makes up for it with willpower and effort. Rufus has outsmarted fighters way stronger than him while all Lloyd can do is scream or whatever. Lloyd can, at best, join picnic squad as a second in command or moral compass.
>>

>Zemuria being a walled garden.
That's why Zemuria being a simulation was such a common theory. Probably won't happen now though. Not sure if you can do both a time loop and a simulation. That's just power creep in twists. Would the GM have to sit through thousands of loops for every simulation or can she just put it on fast forward?

It could still be a simulation, in the elderitch horror sense. Like reality is a dream that never moves past a certain point unless certain conditions are met. The dreamer could be the goddess or something I dunno

They kinda do if you payed any attention to Rufus' backstory. He himself admitted to being ordinary and unremarkable. He pushed himself so he could help his adopted father. The trope of a plucky ordinary guy going against superhumans is easily filled by Rufus.
>>
>>
>>556166761
Lloyd coming from humble beginnings makes him much more normal than a noble from the four great houses of Erebonia. He's not a plucky ordinary guy. He wanted to transcend his own humanity and now he's an incredibly wealthy man who plays butler to a doll.
He's not like Lloyd in the slightest.

Wrong! Stop larping cs. Rufus is 100 percent a commoner and would have been better off not being held captive as the bastard son. Everything special about him came from effort, he doesn't have noble bloodline or inborn talent. He's handsome, ruthless, tenacious and incredibly cunning/perceptive. The only thing lloyd beats Rufus in is corny speeches and his odd obsession with barriers. Jobbing too, there hasn't been a single moment from cs to now that Rufus has jobbed. Lloyd is the very definition of fraudulent

Wrong. The whole thing in Rufus' backstory is that he was treated much better than Jusis despite Rufus being born through an affair with Helmut's brother and Helmut's wife, he was a pure noble unlike Jusis who was a bastard with commoner blood. That's what makes him question everything. He's a pure blood noble unlike Lloyd who's just some guy. Truly, he's a sad sack with daddy issues. The entire reason he started to work on himself was because he wanted to impress Osborne as he saw Osborne as a new daddy. He's not a regular guy at all, he's a freak born from Erebonia's nobility system.

You could make an argument for Kurt due to Cedric, and Ash could fit too. Olivier is 100% going to be in as well. I'd cut Towa but we all know Falcom is going to shill her and the Zemurian UN as the ultimate endgame for the world.
>Calvard
There's no way Agnès doesn't latch onto Van and follow him where ever he goes since she has no real goals in life other than being his cockslave, so she'd be in too. The picnic niggers will also be in since Falcom's writers are obsessed with forcing them down your throat.

Crossbell, Erebonia and Calvard need Elie, Alisa and Agnes. Zin and Schera can be dropped from Sky, Arios can be dropped from Crossbell, I'd probably cut Sara from Cold Steel. Risette can definitely be cut from Calvard as she'll be irrelevant past it, and Elaine might not necessarily show up much.

It depends on if Alisa shows up in Calvard. If she doesn't then it shows Falcom might have stopped forcing their main girls if they're not popular enough. Meaning that Elie and Alisa might be doomed to irrelevancy. Saying that, Elie has a better chance of surviving for now purely based on her having to show up in Calvard when Lloyd does to follow up on her father.

I mean Kondo even admitted that the reason things have such a template feel and that they constantly reuse things is because they have an ever revolving door of writers and with this many games is impossible to keep them all up to speed and keep things consistent. What Kondo doesn't realize is that trying to keep everything consistent is whats killing the games because they all feel the same now.

Falcom is releasing Sky 2 immediately because they can make players reinvested again just in time for the final game for Calvard. They know what they are doing.
Also helps Calvard has the better women. Except for Feri, Nadia, LP, and Agnes.

So how much are we betting on Latoya being spared as some tragic heroine? I loved Osborne and it made a bit of sense (as far as I remember), but Latoya either is going to be Le sad backstory or forgiven because of Quatre and shit... I really want them to go the full route of her being killed

it’s funny how cold shitters get mad on behalf of japs for calvard being “woke” despite the fact most of them are south american and will never be Japanese AND despite the fact that a truly woke game is something like persona 5, the series their shit arc tries to ripoff.
persona 5 challenges a lot of conventional Japanese societal rules, at times for the fuck of it
>>
>>
>>556185549
Nu-Falcom writing is so easy to identify that you're immediately reminded of how bad it's gotten even when playing the Sky 1st remake despite the original script still being present and largely unchanged.
Takeiri and Konda (not Kondo) are credited in most games, but they're the only consistent names throughout the series. That just highlights how they were hard-carried by the other writers in past games who didn't show back up. Crossbell and CS1 and 2 have the most amount of non-returning writers.

The irony is that both are the product of Albarea dysfunctionality. The other is the son conceived out of an extramarital affair by the father with and the other is a son conceived by Helmut's brother in an affair with their mother. Which in turn leads them to be cousins to each other. In the same family which obsesses over lineage. It's one cucked family all the way down.

They buffed Refreshing Veil in this game with several turns of protection for both status effects and stat down, seems more efficient to just cast it and use whatever accessory you want. Unless there's a study out there saying the turns you lose casting it aren't worth it

>>556198448
Not everyone has refreshing veil and there's turn/time limit bosses out the wazoo in the garten. Why not just go full offensive or actual buffs like insight instead of playing defensively with protection . Also the accessories in question are easily mass produced thanks to gacha, have cp regen an massively buff stats. Definitely worth it

Didn't have an issue with this fight at all. Or any other for that matter. Use Grendel Van and S-Craft dump to delete Jorda. Even the "hardest" bosses in this game are barely allowed to move l unless you have no idea what you're doing.

>>556198710
You just buy the Refreshing Veil plugin and give it to everyone easily. I guess if you like grinding for accessories it's fine. I usually don't grind for anything. Most I did in my current playthrough is hunting for Beast Essences and Flesh for the recipes

Yeah it makes the world just feel smaller when everyone is secretly connected to everyone. Nina having a connection to the pope makes sense and could help expand the world because we know very little about the pope and haven't met her yet and it makes sense the head of the church would take a direct interest in her but instead Falcom think tying everything back to an established character is better because "DUDE REMEMBER 3RD????". Rufina wasn't even a Dominon why is she so important? She's important because we have fond memories or 3rd and they need to give Kevin something to do. And the fanbase enables it because they basedgasm at every single mention of a character from a previous game no matter what it is. That's how you end up with Calvard where everybody just automatically knows everybody and the world feels the smallest that it's ever been.

He and Lucrezia are the biggest wasted potential of this entire arc. I keep coping that Falcom will actually let them do shit in the next game now that Ouroboros don't have a pact with Gramhart anymore but I know I'm just wasting my time. Falcom has such an enormous problem where they don't let these kinds of villainous characters actually do anything villainous. It's the same reason why Cao is so shit. They'll spend 50000 lines of dialogue telling you about how dubious and bad all these guys are but they will never actually do anything on screen because they're so deathly afraid that someone somewhere possibly won't like them.

What went wrong with Falcom? Ever since after Ys 8 it feels like each game they've made had less effort than the one that came out before it. They've forgotten so many fundamental things about what a satisfying JRPG is. Was it a change in staff? A change in their company culture? What happened?
>>
>>
>>556214853
After CS1 and 2's success, they started making excessive use of outsourcing for games released since 2017 and started making their games hornier to cater to people who'd buy their cosmetic DLC. That's why their pre and post-2017 games feel like they were made by a different dev.

The success of Ys VIII and Cold Steel made Falcom complacent. It made them think that their shit didn't stink and that no matter what they did people would just automatically buy anything they did regardless and that they didn't have to try to appeal to their fans anymore. So they starting farming out more and more of each games development to increase their profit margins. Now they want to release 2 full new games a year when they can barely even deliver 1 without it being rushed. They stopped giving any kind of damn about the actual quality of their releases.
But Kondo doesn't realize that a company like Falcom lives and dies based off of its word of mouth reputation. They don't have the money to make up for their laziness with fancy marketing. If they piss enough people off the fans will leave. They need to remember that the fans are the ones that will promote their games for them but they aren't going to do that if you take every opportunity to shit on them by delivering mediocre experiences.
It's become clear that decades of developing nothing but Trails, Ys and the occasional Xanadu has just completely dulled their developmental senses. All of their games just feel the exact same now. They have no idea what a game or a story is anymore. And this is the company that supposedly prides itself on being "storytellers".
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>556215417
They really have turned everything into Trails. Al their games since Cold Steel 1 have been the same, and I mean all of them. They've only made CS1 - Horizon, Ys VIII - Ys X and Tokyo Xanadu. Every single one of these games have the same exact structure and notebook progression elements. No exceptions.
Just take a look at all the different games they made prior to CS1.
>>
>>556216305
Yeah they've completely homogenized their entire output in the last 10 or so years. Current Ys just feels like action Trails at this point. Tokyo Xanadu 2 will just be more action Trails. They're so addicted to their fucking templates for everything they forgot that each series is supposed to have its own identity.
>>
>>
>>556216468
There's no end in sight for the Falcom template. They've convinced themselves every game has to be 80+ hours long. They could easily let a smaller team develop a short Ys game in the style of the Ark trilogy.

QUESTION: what does this "reduce blocked damage -50%" mean for Rean's Divine Spirit buff? Does that mean he TAKES half damage, or that less of the damage he DEALS TO MOBs is mitigated by their defense stat? Does that mean I am supposed to put smaug and scent on Rean and have him be the tank in melee range and get juiced up on CP, instead of having him stand far away with the Recluse quartz while Crow evasion tanks and counterattacks with his double saber that has a reach of 2?

It's been a never-ending cycle of buckbreaking bosses in the series ever since then, so it's not like i'm particularly livid that the games let you break them in half.

Though that statement is up for debate, as steel maiden is more than her strength. She's immortal and has a divine knight and divergent weapon.anyway Cassius doesn't have the strength, equipment or intelligence to defeat mcburn. Aurelia or rean?

Cassius wouldn't even get into a fight with McBurn in the first place. He'd manipulate the situation so that all of the pieces would fall into place favorably for him. He's the master strategist that defeated the Empire when they had taken over nearly everywhere in Liberl. If McBurn was around he'd find a way to douse McBurn's fighting spirit and cause him to lose interest.

He'd "find away" thats a funny way to say he'd turn liberal into a crater. Makes sense, this "master strategist" couldn't even protect his family despite his brilliance. I'm sorry but there aren't any strategies that can control or manipulate mcburn. If he wants something he takes it, if he wants to destroy something he does. All you can do is run and hope you aren't his target. There exist one man who can face mcburn head on and live. That's rean fucking schwarzer. If you don't believe me, replay cs 4. Or 3 even.

All you have to do is make him not want to fight anymore. We saw throughout Cold Steel that he'll let up if it doesn't seem like it'll be any fun.
So the solution is really just Cassius talking to McBurn and as long as Cassius stays true to his word that he's not going to fight him, McBurn will just get bored and leave.
>There exist one man who can face mcburn head on and live.

Somehow I am not surprised. My point was that race is established in the first game, but since you are clearly a retard that needs his hand held through a story to pick up on subtext you were not smart enough to figure out that “white people” exist, or that the term could be used.
