Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Really weird decision and they should just port the original two to the PS4 as well. Otherwise I don't see how it makes sense =/

Agree. They should up port the original 2 and make a trilogy bundle for PS4, PC and Switch

That Alisa outfit... sigh.

So, guess this means there won't be a save transfer from CS2 to CS3 then?


Wut... not CS1's school setting I hope xD

I don't understand why people immediately assume this, like it's some herculean task to do so. Cross-save is a thing and Falcom devs can do programming. If they want to, they can do it. I just hope they do.
 
For support for this. The Vita hardware is way too outdated and restricting.

Only downside is not suspend-play lol.

Rean, Alisa and Sara all look great!

Rean will support the entire cast by patting them on the head after each battle.

[Cultural]Imperial Chronicle - Issue 1

A surprising new trend has been taking place in the Erebonian empire.
A boom of so called "head pat cafés" has taken the country.
Customer's frequent these establishments not only for meals and refreshments but pay an extra fee to receive a head pat from the waiters/waitresses of their choice.
One regular named Mr. A. when asked about the appeal described these places as "soul healing oasis of wonder" before he was taken away by his colleague Mr. R.

...Because CS2 isn't on PS4, and CS3 is PS4 exclusive? How are you going to transfer your save from a PS3 to a PS4? They aren't even on the same kind of architecture.

As long as the save file exists, and it isn't locked in some weird way, it can work. You can copy most PS3 saves out via external storage. Same with Vita. In fact, I believe Valkyria 2 did something where they would read a PS3 Valkyria save if you copied it out, and gave you goodies for it. It's not rocket science.

Look really nice ! I need to see some zero/Ao characters screenshots.

I wonder how they are going to handle the Erobonia/Crossbell situation gameplay wise, like if its going to be like Ys VIII with dual MC. I know I want to play as LIoyd and Co.

I hope it takes after FFXII and A Song of Ice and Fire, and you play as Rean in the opening prologue, only for him to be brutally killed by the end of it.

how popular are non Alisa pairing for Rean in Japan?
because that shall determine if we can continue to reject the canon
If the game doesn't star Rean, then they don't have to answer that question.

Otherwise, I think they'd still respect the choices players made in CS2 if there's some sort of import option (and I don't think it'd be much harder to implement than any cross-save system). It's not like almost any of those bond endings are uncertain about the language they choose to describe their feelings, so it'd be jarring if he suddenly got way closer to Alisa.

That would be a problem because it means I would have to play CSII for a third time just to get Alisa or Laura's specific private conversations

Maybe just give us a choice menu at the beginning of the game.

Holy shit, those screenshots look absolutely amazing! Can't wait for the western release, 1 and 2 were masterpieces!
 
I'm impressed by the visuals, they look a lot better than I had been expecting. The environments and lighting have caught up with the improved character models, and I like the subtle cel shaded outlines reminiscent of games like Eternal Sonata and Valkyria Chronicles.

Not too sure what to think of the floating UI in battle though...

Nice work!

Keep 'em coming, just beat Trails FC and started SC. FC took me awhile, stopped around halfway until the 3rd was announced. Looking forward to seeing where things are after I get through SC and the 3rd(like Crossbell being localized and/or Cold Steel on PC).

Glad they ditched the Vita, even though I'm playing CSII right now on the Vita. You could clearly see the platform was holding the game back. Not that these screens look amazing or something, but I don't expect that from Falcom.

I do have to say these new characters look very safe and bland. And, of course, with every iteration the female characters get more and more sexualized. Guess that's a simple consequence of making a game primarily for Japanese men.
 
It actually reminds me of Tales of Xillia. And I know it was obvious given its appearance in Sen II, but finally!, we're going back! There's no way this doesn't converge with Zero/Ao's cast.
