Love my beautiful, cute, loving, supportive, caring, and adorable wife

Haha...

I just finished Xanadu Next and I fucking loved it, and now I want more games about killing one specific faggot dragon that are not Dragon's Dogma. How do I get into the Dragon Slayer/Xanadu games besides the two ones listed in the pastebin? Which ones are translated and/or can be played without knowledge of the language?

When are we finally going to see more of the damn Sky remake?

>>1184427 As far as I know only the first Dragon Slayer has an English translation. Dragon Slayer 2 never got one. I'm not sure how easy it is to parse without knowledge of the language. I seem to recall my autistic friend trying it once but this was years ago and I don't remember the details.

Me, I'm playing Trails from Cold Steel for the first time and really enjoying it. Currently at chapter 2 I'd rate the games as follows: Sky FC > Sky SC > Sky 3rd > Cold Steel > Azure >Zero This ranking is prone to change as I progress through the series.

>>1184604 Haha... enjoy it while you can

>>1184604 Why do people suddenly hate Crossbell so much now? Everyone calls it shit or ranks it at the bottom nowdays. Zero is honestly one of my favorite games in the series. The journey of the SSS going from total shitters no one respects to the heroes of Crossbell was unmatched for me.

>>1184604 Games that open arcs tend to be the most comfy.

>>1184690 yeah I really liked Zero too, Ao had better gameplay but the plot was kind of a mess at the end

>secret meetup with Elaine at night after Agnes goes home Agnes...

>>1184690 They don't like the fact that Lloyd is just a normal ass dude who happens to be a cop he's not half demon 10000 folded katana wielding dude. >>1184729 The plot at the end of Azure is just what's to come for the rest of the series

>>1184727 Mostly because everything is totally new so it doesn't get boring like the sequels sometimes do when you just visit the same towns and do the same dungeons all over again. I know it's baked into the series but Falcom kinda get a bit too complacent in the sequels sometimes. It also helps that the plot usually kind of gets up its own ass a bit in the sequels whereas in the arc openers you mostly just get to exist in the world. Having said that though I liked CS2 more than CS1 I thought CS1 was just kinda dull for the majority of it. >>1184729 Yeah Azure had a better combat system and I agree that the plot kinda fell off at the very end. I also think Azure suffers a lot from being the same 4 highways from Zero for 80% of the game Falcom really should have done more to expand Crossbell. Still though when Azure is good it is really good.

>>1184843 >They don't like the fact that Lloyd is just a normal ass dude who happens to be a cop he's not half demon 10000 folded katana wielding dude. he's the shounenGOD of kiseki

>>1184690 I don't hate it, not at all. Being at the bottom of my kiseki tier list means that it's still ahead of most games. I just burned out of Crossbell and think that Liberl and Erebonia have the more interesting NPCs.

>>1185098 Haha... I await to see your tier list after you finish hajimari...

Van and Shizuna should fuck like animals at this point...

>>1185192 She has better chemistry with Van than Elaine does after the first game.

This random glasses girl is quite cute >>1185329 I like Elaine's design over Agnes and Shizuna, but her acting stand offish despite her connect event is annoying...

>>1185329 Elaine kinda fell off after kuro 1. Van keeps acting coy around her and she can't move on from him which makes their interactions boring and mundane. Agnes definitely gets a huge glow up after Kai so it's no wonder her popularity skyrocketed, but Shizuna definitely has the best chemistry with Van, it's partially because their personalities bounce off of each other extremely well and because there's a potential for an interesting development between them. Either way I won't get my hopes way too high, but excluding Elaine and Agnes, Shizuna has the highest chances to enter the Vanbowl.

>>1185403 >This random glasses girl Fufu...

>>1185435 Yeah it just feels like it goes nowhere. All Elaine ever does is just guilt trip Van and act bitchy towards him and it just never really goes beyond that. There's no real progession. I like the relationship between Agnes and Van, especially when it's just the two of them together, and they way they rub off on eachother is nice. Agnes also does genuinely want Van to move forward with his life whereas it feels like Elaine just wants him stuck in the past forever. With Shizuna it's also nice how she slowly opened up to him and even though Van grumbles about how troublesome she is he does genuinely appreciate how often she sticks her neck out for him. Elaine is easily the worst of this triangle for me.

>>1185492 Falcom can't write anything with Elaine because that would have a satisfying conclusion and end a harem, either they would never get back together (no longer a harem candidate) or get back together and delete the harem >"we're going to do something different with romance" *raughs and writes the same bullshit like cold steel had*

>>1185492 Kondo said they're planning a proper drama between Van, the RAT and Elaine so we'll see how that goes. I like the development between Van and Shizuna, and their chemistry is great. It's kinda hard to choose since I also like Agnes, Renne and Judith. Calvard really has some top tier girls.

>>1185576 I don't even necessarily think they have to get back together. But maybe actually try to get over their issues? It feels like every time they're about to start trying the scene gets interrupted and then they just drop it. It was nice in Daybreak 1 because you did see them start to rekindle their actual friendship without it revolving entirely around Elaine giving him THAT pouty hurt look and trying to guilt him over leaving her which is all they do with her after the first game. Ideally each game would have some kind of progression in their relationship with eachother and then depending on what you chose at the end they'd either get back together or fully reconcile as lifelong friends. Instead there's just nothing.

>>1185576 >"we're going to do something different with romance" Kondo's bullshit excuse is "for Kai 1." Not that he hasn't outright lied about romance before (Lloyd and Elie in Hajimari). Basically Kondo can't really be trusted on anything he says.

>>1185576 >raughs and writes the same bullshit like cold steel had* To be fair it could be just a different mechanic compared to CS. Kondo never said there'll be canon and he also said that the heroine race isn't over. He also conveniently avoided the question about Shizuna's romantic feelings.

>Mcburn just goes "sorry bros, haha" and fucks off after giving you a healing item CS4 is pure schizophrenia.

>>1185698 He can't help his bad memory.

>>1185192 As I played through Kuro 1 and 2, I felt like I basically wanted Van to fuck any of the girls that weren't Feri or Elaine. Only because Elaine's boring as shit and Feri doesn't really have the same vibe as past Trails lolis. Agnes? She's cute and is always there for Van, so he needs to fuck her already. Risette? She literally deserves to be fucked for the team carrying she does and the help she's always offering. Literally his hot maid and it's probably the two I want to see bang the most. Judith? They're sassy and straightforward with each other so they might as well bang. Maybe in their transformations too. Shizuna? She has great chemistry with Van and they seem to get along better than Van would have expected so they should just fuck already. You know how like a girl in fiction could probably be totally mellowed out by getting some dick in her life? Well I feel like it's the opposite in Kuro/Daybreak where it's Van that needs some fixing. If Van just got some pussy from one of his teammates he wouldn't have done that gay shit at the end of Kuro 1 and what he tried to do again at the end of Kuro 2. I am quite literally asking for one of these girls to rape Van so he can get his fucking shit together, please for the love of Aidios.

>>1185771 Feri is in bridal training!

>Moshy Don't bring Tio, Juna and Laura here. Haha...

>>1185809 he cute

>>1185192 You will get 1 (one) beach event.

>>1185771 >t's Van that needs some fixing. If Van just got some pussy from one of his teammates he wouldn't have done that gay shit at the end of Kuro 1 It reminds of what Agnes said in her confession scene. She wants him to be happy no matter who he picks, but as long as Van has muh demons he can't fully accept his existence as something good. I don't really think it truly matters if Van picks Agnes, Elaine, Shizuna etc. it's him finally moving on from the shackled existence and finding happiness that matters. I really hope falcom finally will resolve the whole demon stuff, grendel, mare and Van's origins in the next game. They've been avoiding this stuff for 2 games now.

>the phantom thief girl is a Doobie according to an anon earlier >this journalist girl acts like a Doobie too

>>1186082 God I love autistic girls.

>>1186253 >Rixia >Judith >Marielle There must be something in Calvard water that causes autism...

>>1185783 >there's nothing in the bowl clearly thinking about the sex she already had last night

>>1186813 This has been a problem since CS3. In CS1 during the "whisking furiously" scene there's actually something in the bowl. But from CS3 onwards the bowls are always empty. I have no idea why.

>>1186906 probably it's because having the batter just be part of the bowl texture looks better with vita graphics than it does in current graphics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVCpaINqUcI What are some of your favorite Falcom OSTs?

>>1187179 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XUzvISRwUQ

I really wish Falcom would stop shoving shit from the epilogue games into the Calvard arc. I'm tired of routes, randomly generated dungeon crawling, fiddling with 25 different inventories etc. Just give me proper Trails adventures again and leave that shit to the epilogues. Unfortunately it doesn't feel like that will ever happen again.

>>1187414 >fiddling with 25 different inventories This is a problem in every game but FC and the Crossbell games really. It's just a matter of HOW BIG a problem it is being different depending on the game.

>crossbell is finally free again! >They get ass fucked instantly Hajimari is funny.

>Elaine keeps antagonizing Van >despite Zane reassuring her it is all good Will she keep nagging throughout all 3 games?

>>1187932 >get overpowered by literal mooks >"""Rufus""" solos them all 1v7 They might as well just bend over already. What a worthless bunch.

Blud thinks he's on the team

>>1184198 >>Ys X Proud Nordics - July 31st (Japan only for now) Why are we still doing delayed global releases?

>>1184198 Are they really killing Xseed Estelle?

>>1188700 I honestly have no idea. If they were ever gonna global release something this makes the most sense as most of the game is already done. >>1188757 We do not know for sure, but as the article states Gungho is claiming they're doing a new localization that's true to the Japanese original. We have seen literally none of their work, which is certainly odd considering it's supposed to be this fall, so all we have to go on is what they're saying. Before this statement basically everyone assumed the game would more or less use the XSeed script which is why they could global release at all. Now no one is sure what is happening and we won't know more until we see the game actually in English.

>>1188639 Walter....the secret member of Class 7! >>1189128 I see. I do hope they keep it. I'm not opposed to a new localization but the Xseed version I think works fine.

>>1189156 >I do hope they keep it I don't necessarily hate all of Xstelle but there are definitely times Hatsuu went too far.

>>1189182 Agreed.

>>1184690 I've played up to CS4, and I think CS3 is my least favorite. Not that it's bad, but it just felt like repeat of CS1. >The journey of the SSS going from total shitters no one respects to the heroes of Crossbell was unmatched for me. I also enjoyed that, finding barriers to get over is fun.

>>1184690 People hyped up Crossbell for a long time. When people over-hype something it tends to underwhelm when they actually get around to it. People also tend to shit on Cold Steel, so when people get to the arc that's supposedly terrible and then find out many of those complaints were over-exaggerated, it suddenly looks better. Personally, I hate arc wars shit in Trails. I have things I like and dislike about every arc, but when it comes down to it I enjoy them all.

>>1187143 Stop ruining the falcom magic by explaining their tricks...

>>1184727 Trista... home

>>1184451 I dunno but I love Estelle Also why is this nigger website asking me to log in. Log into what nigger. Your fed honeypot?

>>1189907 >fed honeypot Anon 4chan catalogued everything you did. The jannies tracked your IP and that site didn't even let you use a VPN. If you're worried about that, if you posted on 4chan you're already fucked.

>>1184690 Well the biggest Kiseki dedicated YT channel ranks Crossbell as the best. Zero is 3rd best while Azure is #1 Sky FC is bottom 3 I think Crossbell being disliked is strictly an imageboard fenomenon

>>1189937 Feds won't do much when I'm not in the US or western EU, but why is there a login option?

>>1189943 It's probably for people who own boards. You can make your own board here. You have to log in to be a board owner obviously since that's like being a janny of your own place.

>Trails in the Sky remake >Uh? Chloe, who is that guy with such a cool energy? I feel like he is going to do many important things in the future

>>1184604 your ranking is literally just mine, CS1 is a legitimately good videogame. And unlike Crossbell is has a good ending. Currently on CS 2 and I don't understand why people shit on it at all. It's better than CS1 in gameplay. Unless the epilogue is some travesty it's shaping up to be better than CS1.

>>1190230 Most people didn't like the whole flying around padding.

Anyone have THAT Sean Chiplock audio?

>this site is exploding too now This way of life is not meant to be

Aggie!

fufufu... CS1 is really good

>>1190960 is for rough sex!

Jolda's bum

>>1190742 https://8chan.se/.global/graphs/2025-04-20.png it's over 20-40x~ more pre 4chan dying, pretty insane...

>>1187414 I think it's already too late. Kuro 1 was the last focused kiseki game that actually felt like a proper adventure. Van's final episode will probably have routes as well, I'd be surprised if they'll make kai 2 as Van's solo game. Final arc will have routes too and falcom still haven't found a new game director for kiseki after Kusano stepped down.

>jusis alBAREA >BAREAhard bros... could it be?

>>1192248 I'm seeing it... Jusis is constantly hard...

>>1191058 There is nothing wrong with that statement, Cao. and I don't appreciate you killing /fg/

>>1192248 >Estelle BRIGHT >They were being ironic

>>1192556 The whole "Bright" name was planned for Renne from the beginning.

>>1192524 Cao killed /fg/?... now it all makes sense

>>1192574 >11 year old >3 doctorates Her last name should have been "Autistic" or "Liar"

>>1192645 She's just that bright.

>>1192248 Rean SCHWARZer

fufu haha >haha fufu... haha? fufu... ha...ha...*dies*

>VAN ArkRIDE Holy shit... KONDOOOOOOOOOOO!

Woah...

>>1193137 that's just a coincidence... right...?

>>1193144 Haha...

>>1184451 did they seriously age the loli up? I was STOKED for this but I have to know.

>>1193244 she's still small but the artstyle does seem to make her less loli though they gave her some thick ass thighs

>>1193258 >thick ass thighs I can get behind this, thanks for the info m8. btw is greentexting a thing here or is there another similar function?

>>1193285 read this ///https://8chan.se/.static/pages/posting.html\\\

>>1192841 literally can't read her name any other way since i heard this

>>1194254 that's her bracer title, it's an inside joke among the guys

>>1193297 ok I see what the issue is. I use the darkviewer firefox addon which makes it so you can't see greentexts

>>1194638 This site has themes like Tomorrow that are dark so you can whitelist it for this site and fix that problem

>>1194695 I like Royal myself.

>half the time auto refresh works >half the time auto refrest doesn't work >never know whether a thread is just not updating or nobody is posting

>>1197621 Haha, a 4000% user increase will do that..

>>1197621 >>1197708 Personally i'm amazed at how well 8chan has handled it so far

>>1197814 It's true. Given the early days of site the fact the worst I've seen is like a 10 minute crash is amazing.

Incidentally if a janny ever browses this thread could you add a title to it? I fucked up and put the title in the name field. I don't even have the fugee excuse I was just blind. I tried asking in meta but no one responded. I was going to call it "Nihon Falcom Thread: Refugee Crisis Edition.

>>1198233 kek, I was wondering why it wouldn't display the thread title on the catalog.

Cao is so lucky.

>>1198333 Cao is too much of a faggot to ever tap this

>>1198353 >do i marry this hot chick who worships the ground i walk on and secure a strong alliance between our families by doing so? >fufufufu no

>>1198415 Trust the plan.

>>1184198 >Trails in the Sky 1st will supposedly feature a "more faithful localization" to the original (total XStelle death?) Good bye Faggot slayer Estelle. Goodbye CS1 Rean with an actual personality. I found them to be a fun read but maybe it wasn't the most faithful of interpretations.

I liked the localization

Love my cutest canon wife

How do you think NISA is going to translate this line

>>1199496 Probably the same as the fan translation did which was pretty innocuously. I hope Rean gets connect events in Kai 2 and they're a bit more romantically coded this time.

hi fg bros. i havent been here in over a year, still havent gotten past first chapter of kuro. anyways, eagerly awaiting sky remake. how are you all holding up? do you like the new website? the lack of idiotic jannies? IDs?

>>1199916 True I think the dialogue and fan TL was a good subtle nudge towards Altina being an eventual romance option. NISA will probably follow suit with the fan TL, but who knows since they seem to enjoy adding a lot of their own flavor with the translations. >I hope Rean gets connect events in Kai 2 and they're a bit more romantically coded this time Same I really want Altina to get some really cute and romantic scenes with him

>>1199945 I've actually been here for years. But yes our jannies tend to be less retarded than the trannies back on halfchan. I hope the Sky remake is good. Stuff we've seen looks nice but honestly we also haven't seen a whole lot. It's kind of weird to be most of the way through April without Falcom doing major pressers on their upcoming project.

>>1199945 sup bro, doing ok, going to take a short vacation from work though I'm not going anywhere, 8chan is very much better than 4cuck, we have literally zero schizos ITT. IDs are fine by me because I actually want to talk about games and not shitpost. As for you not playing kuro - it might be a good move. Kuro 1 was great, 2 is filler and I'm not really sure what to think of Kai yet. Falcom really fumbled a lot of Calvard, honestly really wish I had known to skip kuro 2...

>>1199945 I like the ability to post multiple images per post, I don't like that this site doesn't work or doesn't refresh or the captcha disappears ect. Jannies were not a big issue on /fg/ anyway. So yeah, I miss 4chan.

>>1200185 the constant shitposting with arc wars, wokefag, all the false flagging and the ERP is worth it?

>>1200232 Yes I prefer an active thread over anything else.

>>1200232 The only really annoying thing was the ERP shit. The rest was pretty easy to ignore for me imo

>>1184198 What the fuck theres a newer version of Nordics? I just bought it and finished it a few months ago

>>1200185 interesting, i doubt it was a big problem in /fg/, but i definitely felt the heavy hand of retarded jannies elsewhere in other generals and threads. delighted to be free of them. a lot of, shall we say, very arbitrary 3 days. >>1200127 i keep hearing that about kuro 2, honestly not to echo an old sentiment by some here, but i also feel like the series lost some of its charm through steel and kuro as it took on a more modernistic aesthetic. bur im probably just a skyboomer. >>1200117 i was about to replay sky when they announced the remake, so ive put that off to enjoy the new game.

>>1200350 Yeah, but it's a switch 2 exclusive for now. It's kinda funny Kondo would prioritize ys x re-release over sky remake on switch 2, but I guess it's because ys 8 did really good on switch when they ported it in 2018. Either way NISA could make proud chuds as a purchasable update for pc, switch and ps versions when they release it in the west.

>>1200396 >i keep hearing that about kuro 2, honestly not to echo an old sentiment by some here Kuro 2 isn't AS bad as some people paint it to be, but it's a pretty huge disappointment after a great start with kuro 1. Kuro 2 is basically a really stretched dlc that covers loose ends from the end of Kuro 1 and it has some really bad plot devices. It has some really great moments too, but they're pretty sparce in the story, if you liked the characters youll get more enjoyment anyway. I don't consider Kuro 2 as a pure filler, but it isn't a proper sequel to kuro 1 either. I suggest waiting for a discount or if you really don't want play it at least watch the recap or something.

>>1200282 >>1200345 Nah, I was around /fg/ during the Sen III days and yea, there was always shitposting even back then, but /fg/ around the last year minus the Kai chinaman stream honeymoon period was awful and the past months after that was downright cancerous that it made /fg/ unbearable to be in.

>>1200396 I agree that kiseki has lost a lot of it's charm for sure, I still like it enough though >>1200638 don't start

>>1200638 Reanfags were never the main problem at least after the "femanon" avatarfags infiltrated /fg/. Their simps are even worse. This place unironically feels like a breath of fresh air.

>>1200686 >I agree that kiseki has lost a lot of it's charm for sure Kiseki lost its charm since sen 2, even though the writing was already going downhill before that. Unless you really like the school setting i really can't comprehend people who genuinely enjoyed cs3 and 4 that shit almost filtered me. Kuro 1 was good, even if it did reuse some plot devices like mind control masks from cs, but at least it was only for 1 chapter. It's clear falcom tried something new, but it didn't payoff as they expected since Kondo himself said that kuro 1 underperformed which in my opinion is the result of many factors piled up together. Kuro 2 is the result of falcom's yearly release schedule, dogshit writing and no game director to make a cohesive game. Kai is basically the same, but to a lesser extent. Falcom don't have passion for kiseki anymore combine this with the declining sales and it's pretty evident they just make it on autopilot these days, even Kondo said as much in the shareholders meeting.

>>1200873 I'm gonna laugh when Estelle's game outsells the entirety of CS4, Kuro1&2+Kai

a lot of people lose hope after CS2 it seems can't wait for CS3 to see if people are overblowing the hate for it like they did for CS1 and 2 or if it's really that bad

>>1200916 I doubt it'll sell more than kuro in Japan. The western sales will be good.

>>1200934 I personally think the hate is overblown myself. I still enjoy the CS arc despite the haters.

>>1200967 i enjoyed CS, but its also where the series began to become stale for me and the charm of the world-building massively wore off. by kuro there's not much goodwill left.

>>1200934 Haha.... I'll hold back the pasta until after you finish CS3...

>>1200934 idk if its overstated or not but...i wasn't happy with some decisions regarding the narrative.

>>1200967 maybe people expected a somewhat serious story with politics romance and character drama like in Sky and were mad about CS becoming a comedy game about schoolkids on tour fighting ancient mechas for their academy school life. I can't take this shit seriously but it's entertaining in a very goofy way.

>>1201102 idk about you, but i loved my constant dose of >Rean... >REAN >Rean-san! >R-Rean... from the whole cast every other moment

>>1201138 well when you are the most special person in the history of the continent I imagine people will talk about you a lot. Embrace it. Think what Rean would do. You know the answer.

>>1201215 >that won't be necessary >*kneels*

>>1200934 I enjoyed Cs3, but that was probably because I started with Cs1 and 2 and after 2 I played the older games before starting Cs3. If I had gone from Cs2 directly to Cs3 I probably would've hated it.

>>1201102 I stopped taking kiseki seriously after azure 2nd half. Now I only need a likeable cast of characters going on the adventure, but falcom is really struggling with the latter these days. I really don't understand why they keep pushing garten and route shit after kuro 1.

>>1201267 I'm 7 games in and I don't think I'll play Vans games this year. He's so far away still. People say he's a good protag so atleast that's something to look forward to. All the girls are really hot too. But from the pronoun comment and other anons referencing certain things I figure I will probably not enjoy this arc. The whole immigrants plotline...grim

>>1201267 I guess because Reverie was really popular and Falcom didn't realize that it was popular because it was just a big crossover of all the previous games and not because of random generated dungeon slop or routes
