Here repping as a Kiseki fan. I am, however, very far behind and know little about Kuro other than the character designs (which I like on the whole with some reservations - the three pictured here look cool though; I can see why the community esp. likes Elaine), the humanoid suit-looking things, and the slow decline of Falcom Sound Team.
The fact that we haven't even got Reverie yet to finish off Cold Steel, and that came out in 2020....
Yeah I'll look forward to Kuro series in like 2025 at this rate lol
2024 is my bet. There's been allot of grumbling in fan circles over the lead time, but they're all passes I'm willing to hand out when I consider the size of these games, that Falcom doesn't seem to work in conjunction with American teams during their own development, and most importantly the load NISA took on in trying to come (mostly) into release parity by releasing three older games (even if two of them have mostly finished scripts already).
There's still going to be long lead times on these games, but I tell myself those will shrink over time as the number of projects on the plate are also reduced. And I manage my impatience by spacing out my time between new Falcom games.
