The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III (PS4)
-
New information about ToCS3 has arrived (possible spoilers for those who havn't played ToCS1&2) and I'm already excited af, even though we will probably have to wait till late 2018 depending on japan release.
http://www.dualshockers.com/2017/03/16/legend-heroes-trails-cold-steel-iii-gets-new-screenshots/So it plays a few years after ToCS2 and introduces 2 new characters and one ToCS2 character as the new team, with Rean as main of course, and it looks like we will be visiting Crossbell.
I hope the old cast is not abandoned too much and at least appear as guest characters, but I've seen a screenshot with Alisa so that's probably the case. Not gonna lie, I want to see mature Emma :3There is also an official website where you can download some wallpapers and avatars.

I made a mistake and saw a bit of a spoiler by looking into that (haven't played TOCS2 yet), but I'm not too concerned about that.
I may actually try playing it this year depending if ToCS 2 convinces me to jump into the other Trails games or not, it would be good jp practice and it being a sequel I may already have some context to jump into it.
-
So this won't be on Vita? Lame.
I have all the other Trails games on Vita and wanted to continue the trend.
Fuck FFXII too for doing the same shit.
-
cant wait i also hope we get to see joshua and estelle as well
-
@Musou-Tensei i dont think emma could get any more "mature" ;P
-
Is 2018 a realistic date? based on the history of previous releases it would sound more like 2019 to me
-
@bard91 with the series doing better now i think xseed can afford to put more money into the localization but i do think alot rides on how well Trails in the Sky the 3rd does this spring.
-
@El-Shmiablo Well it is a PS4 game and might use an engine that can't be ported to the Vita.
@FF7Cloud I trust the devs to make sure she does ;3
@bard91 Well afaik Xseed started localizing ToCS1 when the 2nd was already out in japan, this time though I hope they jump on it ASAP. Of course there is the possibility that NISA steals it from Xseed like they did with Ys VIII, which would suck because NISA doesn't has the same quality standards as Xseed.
-
So is there any chance at all we get the Crossbell games?
-
@FF7Cloud Cold Steel 1 and 2 both came out pretty close to each other in the west, so there's that.
As far as the Crossbell games are concerned, I'd suggest doing a little digging on the Xseed forums. I believe the situation around them is a bit tricky. Something about how Falcom didn't make a PC version of those, but there are licensed Chinese PC ports....or something? I believe Xseed said they were looking into all that.

Whoa what?! NISA took Ys VIII?! Man....that kinda sucks. First Aksys grabbed Tokyo Xanadu, and now this.
-
@Minamik It is partially Falcom's fault as they decided to pander to western gamers by sacrificing localization quality in exchange of having a steam release on day 1, something Xseed can not do. With NISA it's always depends on how tight the leash of the IP holder is, like Kadokawa games is very strict, that's why Demon Gaze is uncensored and decently translated AFAIK, on the other hand is Nippon Ichi who don't really care much what NISA does with their games. We will see how Falcom will handel it.
-
New screenshots and character reveals, could be seen as spoilers as one of them is reoccurring character you might not expect.

I own both the first and second game, but I'll probably never get around to finishing either of them or the 3rd one. Why? The thing that kills these games for he is the absolutely atrocious pacing. Almost everything is dragged out longer than it needs to be.
It's a pity because it seems a lot of love and care went into the games.

@Musou-Tensei
Spoiler
yay Towa's back
-
@suplextrain Final Fantasy XIII gets knocked for not "opening up" until the twenty hour mark.
20 hours in Cold Steel and you're still doing errands and school work.
-
@El-Shmiablo after 80 hours your still doing that
-
Hopefully we can get Zero and Ao before this, cause I can't imagine wanting to go into Crossbell without knowing what happened there.
-
@Minamik i hope so too and with the Sky trilogy doing well maybe we'll get it.

I was just checking out a twitter page of one of the translators of the trails series and she said that Tita is in sen 3 so that pretty much confirms Agate
