I am like half way through Trails in the Sky but I don't know what SC and FC are. Are they sequels to the story or just remasters or something? I just don't want to buy them if I already have the same story.

legend of heroes trails of cold steel please

I guess I relate more to Estelle since I was as shocked as she was that Cassius was actually this ultra badass.

Same!

I honestly feel like a sweetspot to listen to his videos is .85, but you need to download the videos for that. I wish RU-vid offered more speed options.

i followed it at 1.25

Chris Jeffrey I’ve tried those and they honestly aren’t as good as downloading and changing the speed manually

Same here!!

Crossbell is best tbh

Kikai Shinobu Weeb

Bell Matthew Did you just call someone a weeb for liking a Japanese only game?

i need this because I'm going straight into cold steel 3 lmfao

Which platform r u playing it on

@@Masterpain33 don't

@@Masterpain33 Two years, too later but I highly recommend you don't. That is- if you haven't played anything prior. CS3 is literally mid (around 50-60%) grandstory, and there is 7 entries prior that are required to experience CS3.

Allens Right this video is for all the CS cucks who didn't play TiTS and are too lazy to do so xD (Jk jk)

@@LiEnby uncalled for :(

God yes. That damn cliffhanger makes me demand more

@@LiEnby tbf I've heard This game has horrible pacing so not surprised people would rather watching a video like this.

@@ZombieSlayerTakashi Yep, it's an extremely slow game. I got sleepy trying to play it.

Freddy Martinez Final fantasy is garbage of late to even compare a great series like trails to the likes of unfinished trash like final fantasy is an outrage. Suikoden remains good.

Agreed, suikoden has good characters rooster, final fantasy not as much

Freddy Martinez I know it's been ages since you posted this but I totally get what you mean FF is like the granddaddy of RPGs for people in my generation. Suikodenn didn't is definitely the one I like the most. Oni is looking to do a recapitation on it in 2018 so excited!!

FF really HAS lost a lot of its lustre over the years. I'd say that the series has become a bit of a dead horse. While I've liked most of the games in the series, at least to some degree, I think that many would have met more critical success as stand alone games from SE. Being an FF title comes with certain expectations in the meta and the gameplay. Games that really deviated from that-like 8, 12, and 13-have been really divisive. But I don't doubt that people would consider several of them absolute gems if they'd been flying a different flag. One of the things that the FF series has never strayed from is mixing it up and trying new things. But that's also exactly what the die hard fans get up in arms about. Though it still sells units, so what do I know? Personally, I really think that the series should probably be retired, and allow the properties they would have previously assigned a number to come out as their own individual games (or franchises if they intend to have sequels).

Regarding Trails, though. Just, wow. It's an incredible series. And the prior LoH games don't put the same expectation(s) baggage that being an FF title comes with. I'm really excited to explore the other countries in the current world with the Cold Steel games.

Literally just did the same lol

That's exactly where I'm at, and I read that as the Cold Steel games progress the other games' stories become more important to the Cold Steel narrative. A nice video summary (or 3) of the Sky games is just what I needed, and with the 2 Crossbell games finally getting a proper Western release maybe I'll give those a try someday but I'll at least be able to play through the last 2 Cold Steel games with a better knowledge base.

This. I played the ToCS games and was incredibly hooked. The first one was slow for me, and didn't fully click till I saw the cliffhanger ending. Now I want to go back and play the old games while waiting for reverie, but FC is for sure not clicking for me. I don't see it clicking too with the lack of voice acting, the gfx, and the gameplay. Now my only consistent gaming time is at night, and games with text that are slow burns don't click as well for me.

You better keep the first game's endgame save.

dos the game say what game year this takes place in

@@robert23456789 1202

cold steel was my first game and i was shocked to see some characters here

On what platform did u play it on

okay, just finished it. gotta say, really good compared to the other jrpgs ive played/watched a summary of

Shit, 7 games?!... Oh great, I thought it is going to be daunting to go into the series. Now I feel it's going to be damn impossible... *Sigh* Thanks, dude -_-"

That said Trails of Cold Steel 3 is currently slated to release in Japan this year (Xseed has kept quiet about an US release date yet). And I have to clarify the video in that Sky was actually divided into two games and Sky The 3rd was developed independently when they realized they may want to create a bridge game to ease people into the Crossbell and Erebonia arcs (and leave several mysteries open for answers). So the games that were actually created together but split in two were First and Second Chapter. And my personal opinion you HAVE to play the Trails of Sky arc first. It's your introduction into the universe and it will actually be extremely underwhelming to go back to it after playing the others.

You don't have to play them in order, its a single world but the stories of Sky and Cold Steel are just loosely tied together. Start with Cold Steel 1-2 (PSN has it). CS 3 is out in Sept. If you like those games go back to Trails in the Sky 1-3. Also for a 90min movie of a 70 hour game the anime is well done does a good job summarizing Sky 2. Sky 3 is supposedly a side story (never played it).

The anime summarizes Sky 2 well... ha. I'll just have to agree to disagree with all assessments. Sky 1 and 2 lose a lot of impact once you know it's main beats and secrets (secrets Cold Steel takes for granted and makes zero attempts to hide). And Sky 3 introduces a lot of the mysteries that both Cold Steel and Zero/Ao tackle (for example the fight between Osbourne and Olivert is officially declared in Sky the 3rd, and it is central part of Cold Steel's story). And the battle system is the weakest so honestly playing Sky last is just underwhelming all around. If you have the opportunity to start with this trio of games you SHOULD. Now Zero/Ao and Cold Steel 1-2 are the ones that can be rightfully played in either order and nothing will truly change. They both hint at each other in equal magnitude so there's no actual issue of CS making the Crossbell games lose impact. What is certain is that you need to play the Crossbell games in some form before CS3 because a lot of CS3's content is coming from Crossbell's story. There are fanprojects for Zero and Ao and Zero actually has a sort of complete fan-release, while the fanproject for Ao is halfway through far as I know. Also,Xseed has been hinting at a secret Trails project which is doubtful to be CS3 (since CS3 is hardly a "secret").

Zero and Ao doesn't seem to be likely to be brought over to the west yet, so it got skipped over in favor of a 3d trails game. Which is kind of weird since Cold Steel 3, involved Crossbell being invaded, which if we got this game released in the west before the Crossbell Arc, it would be weird plot wise as it would be missing story content from the 2nd arc. Arc 1 focuses on Bracers (Militia). Arc 2 focuses on Investigators (Detectives). Arc 3 focuses on Soldiers (Academy Personnel).

I heard about the remaster, and actually played all those .hack games back in high school. I also played Golden sun and its sequel, but never getting around to the third game on DS. Good suggestions, I will likely get to them in the future.

thx

Golden Sun is among the best jrpg I've ever played.

Bruh I would've been so fucking pissed especially considering the length of these games

Oh shit! No part 2 and 3!? ... when senpai!?

Leon0000 Suikoden 5 is by far one of the best games created on ps2.

Derek Poulin what movie?

You know, I've been meaning to watch the OVA movie. (I wonder if it's any good)

Oni Black Mage it's not good.
