As someone who's only played up until Azure I'm in a similar but even more perilous boat lol. Worst part is I just cannot help spoiling myself on some stuff ahah. The temptation is just too strong! Wonder if I should actually try to get through both CS1 and 2 this summer. I'm definitely afraid I could burnout.I went to twitter this morning and all my feed was full of clips from the video. Obviously its out of context but as someone going through Reverie at the moment its a bit funny.
Before I started playing the series, I watched all opening movies, it was up to Daybreak, and surprisingly they are somewhat spoiler-free. Like sure you get to see the cast, that already on the boxart, the villains and maybe cameos from other games, but thats it.
The moment I saw Rean on my TL I instantly jumped to the Falcom Twitter and saw the trailer there... Then I saw Kevin and I was like OOH! Then Rufus appeared and I was like OOOOH! (Kuro 2 spoilers): He did appear briefly in Kuro 2 but only as a silhouette, so it was obvious but it was nice to see his model, then it showed Altina and Rean and I was like AAAAH!
Yeah I'd say it's all but guaranteed we're getting something, since Kondo confirmed they plan to announce a new Trails game for the 20th anniversary. There's a pretty good chance a FC Remake will be announced on June 24th.You all know what month we're in right?
Wonder when, rather than if at this point, they're announcing it. Maybe right on the 24th?
I somewhat agree, although this type of thing is bound to happen with any decade old game that receives a 'rebuilt from the ground up' style of remake that makes the game accessible to a new audience of players. Persona 3 Reload is a good example of this recently.
Tbh the original Sky games were already padded out to an extent, especially SC. Although the majority of this content is mostly side content that most people I know don't actually see if they just do the main story stuff.
Oh yeah SC was padded for sure. I think my playtime for SC is still longer than any other game in the franchise.
Yeah I think the longest parts of FC were just the prologue (which makes sense since they're establishing the most important world building details here), and the final chapter. In my first playthrough I finished it in about 45 hours, and I'm one of those folks that likes to talk to every NPC I can find and do all the sidequests lol.
if Falcom doesn't add more dialogue to a Sky remake, I don't think it'd have to be relocalized.
Reverie has a lot of important set up at the end.
I think Daybreak 1 is pretty much fine to play without Reverie. However, the sequel (Kuro 2) hinges on major plot threads and characters from Reverie, so you're eventually gonna wanna get it in.
That's how I felt after finishing Reverie
lol, I feel ya. Can't say I HATED Cold Steel but the arc definitely overstayed its welcome. Funny enough, CS1 is my most replayed game in the series and I love CS3 but Erebonia isn't one of my favorite arcs at all.
Yeah I don't hate the arc at all. CS I & II are some of my favourites.
(I am about halfway through my Kuro 2 story replay. I've just been randomly picking at the game in short bursts)
A: As hyped as I am for Kai, I’m gonna wait for the localization. I don’t know a lick of Japanese, so I can’t really play it lol. Plus I’m kind of done with doing the whole back and forth thing of playing sketchy FanTLs and waiting for an official release to play.There are now exactly 100 days left to Kai no Kiseki... (going off JST)
A) Is anyone else here going to be playing the Japanese release?
B) If so, are you getting any kind of limited edition version?
C) And finally, how are you coping with the wait?!
Yeah, Kuro 2 only has a really bad MTL patch (I'm not using it as I'm replaying on PS5). I think people using those kinds of patches, or worse, using their phone camera on every line of text (I actually saw someone say they're doing this for Kai!
) are doing themselves a disservice. Better to wait!
