Been making my way through the Mass Effect trilogy, started 3 yesterday. Great stuff so far
You’re not alone. I also picked up Trails from Zero after hearing it was closer to Trails in the Sky, I’d pretty much given up on the series as I found the Cold Steel games to just be a mess in comparison. Almost managed to start ToZ last night. That counts as an achievement for me these daysThank you. Then I hav ehope that I might like the game. As much as I see any people loving it, I could not get into Trails from Cold Steel at all. And I tried maybe 3 times. Maybe I'm too old, it just feels too modern anime vhatty and power of friendship like.
Trails from Zero is worse on ps4, right? I only have my daughters Switch Lite, and I'm trying to wait until the next switch gets released to buy myself a new switch. I am wondering if I should wait for that, or get the ps4 version, as I have noticed I play less and less Switch since I need to borrow hers.You’re not alone.

The Friday update on the website's schedule has a "Special Update stay tuned!" bit, maybe Reverie's release date? Given that they have a VA panel for the game later in the day.
Edit: just saw that this has already been posted on the Zero OT. Just kill me lol
Sorry I’ve got no idea, I only have a Switch so haven’t really followed the comparisonsTrails from Zero is worse on ps4, right?

Yeah, I forget exactly how it went down, but the fully updated/upgraded version is only the new Switch/PC version, which was based on a PS4 port Falcom had already worked on, and they released that port mostly as-is instead of bringing it up to par with the other two. Durante (one of the port devs) has a steam post that explains some of the work they did and the difference between versions.Trails from Zero is worse on ps4, right?

Yeah the PS4 version is untouched from the Japanese release. The Switch/PC versions have better graphics (including cleaned up textures and sprites) and performance (1080p and 60fps), new features like the message log, song listing, the ability to retry certain minigames, and other various quality of life bumps.Trails from Zero is worse on ps4, right?

30 minutes of gameplay from Dragon Quest Treasures. Now we can see how the battle and exploration works more clearly. Also good to see they are using the classic DQ soundtracks. I liked you can heal your monsters with the slingshot

I watched the start through the boss and I’m definitely more intrigued by this game now. I’m waiting for reviews on this one still, but much more hopeful it will be a good deal of fun. Thanks for sharing!
I just hope you can tone down/ turn off the monster banter. IT was interesting for 5 min but afer 20 minutes it tired meReally looking forward to this, I’ll watch this later today, thanks for the link!

Thank you everyone. It seems I need to wait with this one then. I'll most likely play it on the Switch 2, next or whatever. That way I don't need to bother my daughter and borrow her Switch. But I also do not like playing on PC.Yeah the PS4 version is untouched from the Japanese release.

Wow. That’s impressive! I’ve completed 7 games this year, 4 of which were rpgs. But one of the others was Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak that I saw the credits roll on about a week after launch buy am still playing now due to the updates.I've beaten 40 games so far this year, and 21 of them have been RPGs. I'm very happy with that ratio, but it's only going to increase as this weekend I started the first Wild Arms game and I'm already digging it. Love the music.
What are the odds I can play through Trails from Zero and Tactics Ogre and Front Mission One before Dragon Quest Treasures, and then that before FE Engage, and then that before Octopath II?Tactics Ogre Reborn previews are out, and looking really good.
I am enough of a realist to have only planned TO Reborn -> FE Engage -> Octopath 2.What are the odds I can play through both Trails from Zero and Tactics Ogre and Front Mission One before Dragon Quest Treasures, and then that before FE Engage, and then that before Octopath II?
You’d think I’d be less of an optimist by now given that I’ve managed about 3 rpgs this year

I might have to leave TO for next year as I love Front Mission too much…I am enough of a realist to have only planned TO Reborn -> FE Engage -> Octopath 2.
And I'm still not sure if even that might be a tad optimistic, lmao.
That seems way more realistic than my plan!I'm just planning DQ Treasure > FE Engage -> Ryza 3
Speaking of Front Mission, what's even the release date for that? All I'm seeing is November 2022...which is in less than a week so some more specifics would be nice on that front (mission).What are the odds I can play through Trails from Zero and Tactics Ogre and Front Mission One before Dragon Quest Treasures, and then that before FE Engage, and then that before Octopath II?

Yeah it was radio silence after the initial announcement then it’s been the same after the direct. Maybe they’ll do something after Tactics Ogre comes out, it seems weird to be so quiet about it.Speaking of Front Mission, what's even the release date for that?

It's probably more on Forever Entertainment since it's a licensed IP. They don't really do much promo in the lead up to release though, they have come to rely on those Nintendo Direct reveals. Still, we'll probably get a trailer and some previews if it's still coming out so soon. Or a delay announcement.Yeah it was radio silence after the initial announcement then it’s been the same after the direct.

Ah fair enough, yeah I reckon we’ll see something small mid November and then a late November release, it seems unlikely they’d have been in the September Direct If it wasn’t pretty much ready to go at that point.It's probably more on Forever Entertainment since it's a licensed IP.

“Let us be talking together” or ‘clinging together’ or something like that?If anyone has a good idea for a subtitle for the Tactics Ogre ST, feel free to shoot it my way.
Yeah, I considered making a play on "Let Us Cling Together", but have not come up with a satisfying one so far. But any idea is welcome!“Let us be talking together” or ‘clinging together’ or something like that?
Yeah I think it works well for a thread titleYeah, I considered making a play on "Let Us Cling Together", but have not come up with a satisfying one so far. But any idea is welcome!
Edit: Though I suppose simply using the original subtitle also works quite well.
Enjoying these impressions. I won’t get to it for a good while probably, but I did get my copy in the mail today!Update: 6 hours into SO6, honestly so far I'm having a real blast. This really feels like a return to roots, and it's super fun to play. I'm having the exact opposite feelings as with Tales of Arise - for Arise I felt like it was alternately "the same as usual but worse" or "not really a Tales game".
Whereas here the combat feels like an improved version of SO4's (ironically with some of the elements from Zestiria/Berseria, in a way I'm enjoying more than those two), the traversal and exploration feels REALLY nice, there's great QOL overall, and the story and characters have me really interested already. Was absolutely worth getting day one for me and I hope if anyone else tries it they have a good time too!
If I still like it this much by the time I finish, I'm going to be banging this drum for a while.
Would love to know what you think when you get to it! I'm really hoping this one takes off, I know Star Ocean isn't a hugely popular series but I'd love it if it sold well enough to keep Tri-Ace in business.Enjoying these impressions. I won’t get to it for a good while probably, but I did get my copy in the mail today!
Tri-Ace are genuinely the kings of AA JRPGs to me, they're always creative and polished enough to feel like some real care and passion went into them, but not enough to feel like they had the budget or oversight to reach anything resembling AAA. I'm really glad to see the feeling is sticking around despite this entry definitely being more resource-heavy than the previous ones. And yeah it runs completely fine on my desktop so far, having no trouble with the PC port personally.I only played for a couple of hours but yeah, i'm having a good time with SO6 as well.
I know it sound cliched, but it really feels like a mid-budget jrpg from the PS2 era and i love it for it. It also runs flawlessly on my laptop and the Radiata Stories little action-figures in the equipment menu put me in a good mood.
Good job Tri-Ace.
Tactics Ogre Reborn |ST| Bicycle RaceIf anyone has a good idea for a subtitle for the Tactics Ogre ST, feel free to shoot it my way.
YesssTactics Ogre Reborn |ST| Bicycle Race
or
Tactics Ogre Reborn |ST| Fat Bottomed Girls
Don't tempt me!Tactics Ogre Reborn |ST| Bicycle Race
or
Tactics Ogre Reborn |ST| Fat Bottomed Girls
I'd say yay because Tactics Ogre Reborn is Dead on Time making it at the tail end of the year of SRPGs.Don't tempt me!
Edit: I think I came up with a good one, but that will have to wait.
Edit 2: Turns out, I do want feedback on this after all. Tactics Ogre is conceptually Chapter 7 of the Ogre Battle Saga. Song 7 on Queen's 7th album (Jazz) is Dead on Time. Yay or nay?
Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls are from the same album anyway, but have already been done.
