It's weird that you think that anybody who played the last one wouldn't want to play the next one.

I have heard many good things about the ending of Sen and am currently working through Zero, so hopefully I'll be able to join you all in discussion soon enough

If by good things you mean "oh god why" then yes. Hahaha. Fortunately, Sen II is right around the corner.

Oh yeah, it's a fantastic ending. Just as good as Assassin's Creed III

Just because they're gonna play the next one doesn't mean they're gonna pre-order it.
I have it preordered, but I highly doubt that my preorder counts toward their counter since it's with Play-Asia. Most likely the only way to make it count would be to order with HMV Japan, and then I'd have to wait longer for the game.

*Flails wildly*
Mad spoilers btw for anyone who hasn't finished Sen.

That always happens with these games, people don't seem to learn. Falcom just does not give a shit.

And that is why you can never ever watch trailers for these games
I've watched trailers for each of them before release and I don't think any of them have been anywhere near as bad as this one.

Really? I have always just avoided trailers completely
Here's the original Zero trailer, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu2Udu0aFV8

I remember Ao being hilariously bad about spoilers in its final trailer too. Lots of "is that ok to show??" moments.

Wow I can't believe I never noticed that Falcom ripped off SAO back in 2004.

I understand people not being familiar with the game and not knowing it was made long before SAO, but to call it a clone is just downright preposterous.
Lol, one of the reason I hate SAO. If anything I think it draws inspiration from Suikoden. Can we discuss trailers in spoiler?
The trailer is awesome, it's spoilery but I'm never one to mind spoiler. If anything, it made me curious even more. Now I see Kishin battle with a Red Kishin, Rean with his Valimar + Laura unleashed Ryuuouken, with Sara it unleashed Yokoken. It possibly means a new system where you could unleash a new move with an additional party member, so it'll be a lot of variations. Also seeing Rean leading his schoolmates was very reminiscence of Suikoden for me <goddamn I love this game >. Aircraft became headquartes, I saw Nicholas opening restaurants or perhaps canteen would be more fitting? And Collete opening shop with lots of Mishi. Also it seems your quest now are rescuing your schoolmates? I see Dorothy (the fujoshi lol) surrounded by monsters.
Also the trailer gives a glimpse of what looks like to be a Red Kishin, Falcom just shared a shilloute of new characters of what might looks like Lechter. Which dawn to me that Lechter might be that Red Kishin rider.

I'm more interested in the silhouette of
Rixia. Her being a party-member in Sen II would be...amazing.
I thought the
Rixia and Lloyd are separate missions from the story? Did they actually join Rean's party? But yeah Rixia is going to be glorious

You know you wanna start it.
Dooooo eeeeeeeeet
Dooooo eeeeeeeeet
Start and see how you feel? Personally I decided to take a break with and play Celceta instead.
I loved every single door. I couldn't get enough, personally.

Y'all takin' about SC & The 3rd like it's no big deal.
You guys can play them whenever you want... ;_;

Since I already felt I'd been mega spoiled, I decided to watch that store trailer for Sen 2. I guess they decided to go all the way...
. I don't know if these are the results of social links bond events or not, but if they are, meh.
it includes a declaration of love to Rean from Laura, and a kiss between Rean and Alisa
Wow. I just wanted to ask about SC lol
I just finished Chapter 1 and I am over 12 hours in. Are all the chapters as long as the first?

Is that really all that surprising though? The bond events in Zero and Ao were the exact same way outside of the ones you did with the guys.
Ao spoilers:
Heck,
Lloyd's and Ellie's ends with a kiss if I remember correctly, and pretty much all the ones with the girls go in that direction too.
Sen Spoilers:
That, and
event with a character at the end of Sen is quasi-romantic (like Zero's) depending on the character you picked. For example, Laura basically tells you that she cares about you so much that she's willing to become your sword and shield.
Started the Third. Love it so far. Minimum amount of NPC (to be honest I got tired of them. Even though that their sub-plots carry into the third game is still very nice). Lot's of plot. It is indeed different. What I noticed is that casting arts seems slower now. Even with a quarts speeding up the casting, Kevin can not finish a cast before the next enemy moves. While in SC I could spam Hell Gates left and right.
Ries seems like a fun character. I like her already.
Also, enemies with a weakness to Mirage. Woooo! I was waiting for that.
Chapter 1 is of medium length. There are shorter ones, there are longer ones. Also it depends heavily on how much optional stuff you are doing. Chapter 8 for example could be the shortest chapter in the game or the longest.

Has Falcom ever come out to say what is canon when it comes to these bonds?
PSN store tells me ダウンロード容量：1794MB
much appreciated. thank you!
Guess I'll chime in here for a bit as well.
Currently working my way through the final dungeon of Sora SC. There rarely (actually, never) has been a game that kept me playing day in, day out since I picked up the game late June for 90 hours straight (in comparison, Xenoblade Chronicles took me 90 hours spread over three years). I'm thrilled to see the ending of this tale and to jump into The 3rd for another shot of Liberl.

You mean concerning the main love-interests? I don't think there is a need to officially canonize anything, it's pretty obvious when playing the games anyway.
Finished Sora SC last night. What an amazing way to end such a brilliant game, triggering literally all the feels.
I still need to figure out all those feelings before I jump into The 3rd, which is likely going to be next weekend, because the foreshadowing at the end was tantalising.

Not sure whether I'll be able to handle that. Maybe I should just stop right here and hold on to the bit of sanity remaining...
Nah. Bring it on, Kevin!
