Hopefully it's "exclusive" like ys8 was, meaning only in japan.

Did you play the second game?

They already said that this is the case. To begin with, they needed to scale the first game down because of Vita.

Unfortunately I don't see them porting this to PC unless they ported the first two games first. It wouldn't make much sense to put only 3rd game of the trilogy on PC and one where story is actually important going from game to game.
Now if they get someone to port Cold Steel 1&2 that's a different conversation.

Ys 8 is not exclusive though? The vita version came out a long time ago.
You mean the one where the game trolls you with mundane time consuming quests of no value for 1/3 of the game?

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

If you can't take one look at that and understand why that couldn't run on Vita, I honestly don't know what to tell you. Sen I and II struggled enough on the system as is, with multiple sections in each game getting close to single digits. I take one look at these screenshots and see something that would run like that throughout the entire game, no matter how much they downgraded it. At some point, no matter how rabid a fan someone might be, a slideshow in a 50+ hour game should be considered a deal breaker. I expected this to be on Vita as well before the announcement, but I also expected something that looked quite a bit worse than what we ended up getting.

Can't wait to see some screenshots of Valimar in action.

Thanks, I didn't knew about Sen I "downgrade".
I don't really see anything that cannot be rendered with a decent framerate on the Vita. I would assume that it's more of a staff, ressource and cost/reward issue.
Anyway I'll stop with the derail, can't wait to play it!

That's what it is tho
Aside from framerate concerns, the big reason for the jump to PS4 is probably memory. PS3 and Vita have shit memory constrains. With CS3 one interesting thing they're doing is making maps less segmented, more open, far wider, and having battles take place in the same map as you initiate the encounters, seamlessly, without a loading transition. The menus supposedly just pop up and the other enemies appear.
thats nice, like chrono trigger then
now to spend the rest of the night deciding if i'm an alfin or an elise

Any talk of 1 and 2 getting a port to PS4?

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I'd love ports with just msaa and 60fps.
Framerate really chugs in places on PS3.
I've not heard of such a project though.
Shame there would not be enough demand for a PS3 Pro with boost mode.

A teacher headpatting his students is that less appropriate or more appropriate now?
Depends on whether he is prepared to take responsibility for his headpats.

You're giving me traumatic Zestiria flashbacks. Let's hope it works better here.
That sounds reasonable.

Trying to complete CS2 in the meantime and just finishing up act 1
What a bunch of hot garbage most of the big scenes are up to this point
I keep hearing it flips in the second half but this is ridiculous

How come? I can use it outside no problem. As long as you have a wifi hotspot, you should be good to go.
Not sure need to sort it all out at home, I'll get around to it eventually I have plenty of time haha. Got 3rd to think about first anyway!
As much as I loved CS II, many of the same problems that the story has early on persist throughout.

The pandering of circle jerk scenes
The incessent need to give everyone something worthless to say, which is essnetially more redundant, pandering, and circlejerking dialogue, is mind numbingly annoying
And whats with all the idealism preaching and lazy attempts at humorous callbacks
The writing a scenarios are damn atrocious. There are no stakes and the majority of the time people are talking in circles. Sizing each other up, dumping compliments, repeating each other, casting doubt on their own stances and then doubling back around.
When.... does... it... flip
The best scene in the entire section that Im in was the very end when the adults got off the damn ship
Duck roll.... help me
Outside of the Gameplay the Cold Steel series is making me furious at the departure of storytelling and character quality that Trails in the Sky had. Maybe there were hints of this with how they handles Trails SC since there are defintely elements there as pointed out by other posters.
I might just have to focus on the small moments in the were they didnt dumb shit down
I think translators need to be given the power to take more liberties with the script like I believe they did with the original Trails in the Sky
I question XSeed being given leeway to take more liberties with FC than anything else. Falcom is a very conservative company in terms of what they allow the companies that they work with to do, and the only liberty I remember XSeed mentioning was being allowed to change the opening to CS II not to just be the rest of the class saying Rean's name. With Trails in the Sky, the difference in the writing for FC specifically compared to Cold Steel probably had more to do with Falcom drawing on different influences at the time, leading popular anime themes and trends during CS' development to sway the direction that they took with that while also resulting in some of their excesses.
At the very least, it would certainly explain Rean's parallels with a light novel protagonist.

Lol goddammit I totally forgot about this thread.
Is this from the JP fandom?(Cause it's possible that just some English fans put JP text in for authenticity). If so it's always a weirdly funny feeling to see memes that are shared across the globe.
Is the main character, like the title of the game says, really coldsteel the hedgeheg?

Ya, this is the source:

Rean as a serial head-rubber has been parodied even in official Falcom media.
I'm still keeping faith that this is due to them having to stretch what's essentially is a third act into a full-blown game.

Haha, great to know that they're self aware. Hope CSIII continues to play a tribute to that fact. It's honestly my favorite Kiseki meme, to the point that I'm likely over indulging in the ridiculousness of it.
