Welp I'm getting into this series now.

It's "Byronia Island", Gematsu, not Britannia.
It says Britannia, though! =( Wikia shows me Byronia is a different thing.
I couldn't get into the series either. We all know this one will be the same haha
Looks nice though
This !
Though for me Ao and Zero are by far my favorite, followed by Sora/Sky.
But the gap between the 5 first and what we have now is huge.
After Tokyo Xanadu copying Sen 1, are they going to do a third copy with Sen 3 and a new class of "what is this character design" students ?
Even YS VIII got this bigger fan service/easy writing syndrome they're following too much.
They kept the overall story/world of the Kiseki, which is nice, but threw away the inner quality of each part.
It may not become the worst RPG at all,but there's a clear drop in quality.
And seeing one of the best series I played in my life become that is just hard.
I mean, Ao no Kiseki(with Zero I guess) is probably in my top 5 favorite RPG of all time.
And the sora/sky were already in a good position too. So it made sense to expect as good or better.
Anyway, I'm not trying to lower the hype of anyone. Don't mind me if needed.

Reading the interviews seems like Falcom's battle designers played Persona 5 :-x
encouraging hearing about their endeavors to improve on the UI battle navigation front, surprising how few (J)RPGs actually do that.
About Rean, half agree on him being pretty meh so far, that said for me the end of CSII started to finally make him somewhat interesting before saying "look forward to CSIII". So based on that I think a redemption is totally possible in CSIII. On the other hand the chance of them totally dropping the ball on it making his character in the CSI+II harder to look over is also likely.
Also my guess on the returning Liberl character, I think it's going to be Tita.
I feel like she's going to profit design wise the most from a time skip/the years that have passed so far(hey look how much she's grown etc). + With the way Goerge's story ended that would be an easy way to bring her in + having that tech savvy character in the main group allows for a lot of story utility.
Maybe someone else has a better guess.
The only way you're going to save Trails is becoming an Animu trendsetter.
Calvard Saga going to revolve around Bleublanc establishing a band of thieves within Ourouboros and having a change of heart.

Maybe, or there COULD be Estelle/Joshua. Almost guaranteed to have some Divine Blade action going on, too.
Maybe he'll use a staff. That'd be a trip.

Yeah but what's the reasoning?
My personal wish is Anelace with her leading us to finally meeting Yun Kafai.
And I mean given the connection already being there, the reasons for Rean to possibly seek his counsel are probably easy to come up with.

Eh. He's not the best, has this ridiculous inferiority complex, and pushes himself to danger with zero regard for his own well being (despite what people tell him). But I don't think he's that "un-salvageable."Do you think there is no way this was intentional on Falcom's part?
I am asking this seriously, and not as a retort. I really do hope he develops/matures in CSIII, and eventually redeems himself in the end.
I feel like there's a lot we don't know about him anyway, and that the personality he's showing is "superficial." He's a guy who's pretty broken inside, and he acts like an idiot since that's the only way he feels he can be "useful."

Interesting. I got so bogged down I haven't finished CS2. The writing and plotting for the first 10 plus hours is atrocious.
Still, I liked TitS and CS1 well enough, and this seems intriguing. I think I'll try and circle back around for CS2 after end game XV and TLG. Nier:A, Persona 5 take precedence though, so will depend on how much gaming time I'll have.

Well, the end of SC has Joshua and Estelle preparing to go after Ouroboros, too. Cassius goes ALL OVER HELL'S HALF ACRE. Crossbell and maybe Calvard are the safer places f or bracers, as well -- the dictator, and he is the dictator now-- of Erebonia doesn't particularly like Bracers, which is why Class 7 under Olivert's purview, is trained differently. Bracer-like.
So, I dunno. I'm hoping to see more Anelace because she's pretty cash, but I feel like the Brights are the best bets. If they're further linking Cold Steel with Trails in the Sky, that would be the way to do it.
Of course, my reasoning is WITHOUT the events of Third in mind, since I haven't played it, yet. I may come back to it afterward.

This. And....
Hmmm. What are the odds we get the Crossbell duology as a remake after this? Depending on how many assets get remade, seems like it wouldn't be that difficult of a job.

Japan had a "remake" already in the form of the Evo versions, the same for the Sky trilogy. If they want to go back and start remaking the older games themselves, then they may as well end the series at CS 3 because they'll never progress it again due to remakes.

I'm sure we'll get Crossbell remakes within the next 20 years!

Oh and he specifically says that some returning characters from Liberl will be -joining the party- this time.
Aww yeah, time to bring Josette back!

Oo, you're from Gematsu?
Yea, I read the source and it does say that, huh. In that case...
It's 『ブリオニア島』, Hahcima Kikou, not ブリタニア。(>_<)

But plenty of other tropes are represented in the script?
It's not your fault, it's XSEED. The island has a different name in English and Japanese. It's Britannia in Japanese, Byronia in English.
Really? I've seen Japanese wikis with ブリタニア... lol.

If by that you mean "has a chance of coming to PC in the West if we get ports of 1 and 2" then sure. If you mean it's coming to Vita then you didn't look at those screenshots hard enough. This game would have to be significantly downgraded to even run on Vita, let alone at a framerate worth mentioning.
This is a game that was designed for PS4 as the lead system, down porting it would not lead to good things, as we have seen with every other niche developer that had a PS4 lead game and ported it to Vita.
There exists both ブリオニア島 and ブリタニア島.
well the last developed falcom game on another console is for super famicom in 1995, and for pc since the first cold steel there's none, could happen yeah, but i don't give 100% chance of happening and even more in the west
O-oh.... but the one with the Nord statue thing is Byrion right? Lol. Where's the other?

As long as I can have my girl Fie in my team, I don't mind.

I don't know how they can end their games with so much turmoil going on and then almost immediately go back to the status quo of nothing happening for 50 hours. And the battle system is so good too.
That's Trails for you. The slice of life early portions are a big part of the series appeal.

I don't know. Frankly I might be wrong and half of the Japanese internet just typoed exactly the same way. I was just going by search results; I don't actually remember what's in the games.

I will get it, but like disgaea games on console I'm going to wonder when I will have the time...
I'll probably just not aim for doing everything and just play through the game...
Graphics look gorgeous. Love the new battle overlay

Okay, so that confirms it. Some Japanese fans
So I guess there's no point in continuing the series on vita? I was on the edge debating if I should buy part 2 since 3 might be ps4 only, But now I guess I should stop and consider picking it back up whenever I do get a ps4. I get that it's more practical to move to a more powerful system with a larger audience but this still kinda stings.

Part 2 isn't on the PS4 either. So you'd need to play that on the Vita or PS3.

Would really love to play the first two previous games and catch up on the series. Are they at least on PS now?
They are in the US.
So no matter what I can't actually have the entire series on one system? What are the chances they do a compliation when the sub-series is over?
well there's the thing, they have done that on vita with trails in the sky, zero and ao
you can play all trails games on vita
but all theses enhanced ports remained on japan only
we can see they doing a ps4 port of 1 and 2, but we should pray for aidios so they bring to west

On one hand I think it's a goal that's very in tune with their business strategy for Trails.(Someone that plays one of the new ones being motivated to return to the older ones, so they don't want that to be too hard.)
So at least the motivation is there. On the other hand Falcom doesn't have unlimited resources, but actually very limited ones. So it's going to be very much a question of priorities.
With something like sky(it already is on a lot of platforms in some form) being considerably lower to bring back to PS4 compared to something like CSI+II(Have one saga complete on one system) or Zero/Ao(Having version that they could bring to the west).
And all of that while needing to develop new games. Making it all the more uncertain.
So hard to say what the chances actually are.
