How insane would it be if the last game(s) in the kiseki series has you playing AS someone in Ouroborus

It's finally [Sky SC]

Gilbert's time to shine.

oh boy SEN III is ps4 exclusive

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

PS4 exclusivity confirmed

 

[SerRodrik]

It depends on how long the wait is. I mean, if you beat SC in the next week or so, then it would probably make the most sense to just go ahead into Cold Steel if you wanted to.

If the 3rd's release was closer, though, it might make sense to wait. There are references to events from the 3rd in the CS games (although mostly minor), and a couple of characters who first showed up in that game appear in the Cold Steel games. It's up to you.

Thanks for the info! I'll bear that in mind.

 

[DXLelouch153]

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not so sure about that. Cold Steel really made me feel like that their goals aren't evil like the feeling I got in Sky but more like they "require" sacrifices.

since when is sacrificing someone not evil?

 

[Thoraxes]

Thank goodness.

Hope it works out for them given the situation of the PS4 over there though.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

Better get started on those PS4 ports of Sen 1 and 2 then if that's how they're doing it.

 

[Holundrian]

happy good point to reset and not feel obligated to stick for save import reason to my vita.

 

[DXLelouch153]

hopefully it gets a Vita port
my save files you fucks

 

[duckroll]

oh boy SEN III is ps4 exclusive

RIP Falcom.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

RIP Falcom.

Asia and digital will save them.

 

[Holundrian]

RIP Falcom.

Only if you shoot them with your arrow of salt.
Otherwise they will resurrect and be fine :-x

 

[Nyoro SF]

YEAH BABY! Let's go PS4!

 

[DXLelouch153]

i mean i fully intend to have a PS4 before 2018 but my save files you fucks
MY PRECIOUS SAVE FILES!!!

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Kondo WAS foreshadowing back then. His interviews are Trails dialogue confirmed.

Oh I'm sure the Vita owners are rosining up their bows right now.

[Jolkien]

Happy it's PS4 exclusive. They'll be able to make cold steel 3 without compromise.

I can understand people without the console to be pissed though. I wonder if we'll be able to use our Vita save game since it's on the cloud anyway.

 

[DXLelouch153]

welp Reans confirmed cause thats his new jacket

 

[godisntheradio]

i spy with my little eye... the goods

seriously it looks really good

 

[PK Gaming]

Screenshots

Looks like the girl in the screenshot was a brand new character

I love the game's look; very nice and clean

 

[Vamphuntr]

PS4 exclusivity confirmed

Good at least they won't be held back by the Vita hardware this time. It better run at least at 30 FPS consistently. Too bad we'll be flooded by the same annoying people that threw a tantrum when TiTS 3rd wasn't localized for Vita/PSP.

Screenshots look great and we can see the Tonfa girl too in one of them.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

welp Reans confirmed cause thats his new jacket

Sara and Rean confirmed, along with some new characters and

playable Altina

. Interesting.

Oh god I'm anxious again.

Screenshots look great and we can see the Tonfa girl too in one of them.

So she really does hold her tonfas really awkwardly...

 

[jman2050]

Damn I need this game noooooooooow

 

[PK Gaming]

Rean looks like he's about to

Spoiler

occupy the shit out of that city

 

[duckroll]

Takes place in 1206. Erebonia again. One year after the CS2 epilogue.

 

[Holundrian]

So I guess mystery tonfa user is def that pink haired girl. New characters coming into the party I guess. Does the uniform give away where they belong to? To me it seems RMPish but not sure.
Also is that Sara getting inspired by Laura's look? Or the other way around?

The people who complained about no 3rd on Vita/PSP were doing so because the game at least had a PSP version in Japan. There will be no such version of CS 3, so people better stuff it.

Screenshots

OH SHIT.

Battle UI looks swank.

CS spoiler stuff

Spoiler

Is that Sara spying on Lechter? OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK

I think I saw Altina's portrait in the battle gauge? And is that Rean in his Dark Hadou Install Mode with the sad face there too? Will Altina have a non-Chris Hanson make-over like Millium got? STAY TUNED!

 

[PK Gaming]

Takes place in 1206. Erebonia again. One year after the CS2 epilogue.

Just 1 year?

Damn.

 

[Thoraxes]

Lechter being tailed in one of those screens.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

The official site is also live. It has pretty much nothing now aside from a few screenshots, including one not at 4Gamer of Alisa.

Takes place in 1206. Erebonia again. One year after the CS2 epilogue.

So I guess the game would be starting up right around

Spoiler

when Rean leaves Thors (along with the other first year students like Patrick).

 

[SolVanderlyn]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD AHHHHHH

 

[Vamphuntr]

I guess we'll finally be seeing

Spoiler

Western Erebonia and/or more Crossbell

? I don't remember the city with Japanese aesthetics like in that screenshot.

 

[godisntheradio]

aaaaaaand that's all we'll see until game's released, see you all 2019

 

[Vamphuntr]

The screen with the battle UI seems to be a work in progress. The turn order gauge uses all the same portrait for the enemies and the one used one isn't even in the battle

 

[Holundrian]

Probably something people already picked up on. But Alisa's outfit and Rean's outfit seem to share design elements to the point that it might be possible that it's kind of their uniform?
CSI+II spoiler

Spoiler

Like maybe that's going to be the uniform of a new proper Erebonion military/executive faction that Olivier hoped to give birth to?

 

[Fruity Insanity]

I guess we'll finally be seeing

Spoiler

That's not Erebonia. It's Crossbell City.

 

[duckroll]

Spoiler

That's not Erebonia. It's Crossbell City.

Spoiler

Part of Erebonia now!

 

[Vamphuntr]

Spoiler

That's not Erebonia. It's Crossbell City.

That works for me too! Really excited. It looks so good so far. Such a major improvement character models and environment wise.

The Emblem Design on the back of the Blue Uniform is the same as the Thors jacket too.

RIP

Fall 2017 release date in Japan

Guess we won't be seeing it till 2019 here

Maybe we can get Zero in 2018 to tide us over till then?

Spoiler

Pls?

I'd be happy with Trails in the Sky The Third in 2017 and Zero no Kiseki in 2018, with Sen III in 2019.

 

[Aeana]

Fall is too far away.

 

[Shouta]

Fall is too far away. Can we get a time skip in real life?

 

[Fruity Insanity]

Spoiler

Part of Erebonia now!

...Fair enough...

 

[jman2050]

Avoiding spoilers from the Japanese version for two years is gonna be absolute torture.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I mean, it's nothing compared to dodging SC spoilers for 4 years.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Ah man... CS3 looks great. All I need is confirmation that it's running at 60fps and I'll be maxed out on my mishy happiness meter.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

i'm dying inside

can i sleep till fall

 

[Busaiku]

So just give me a yes/no...
Does Cold Steel II end like the first one?
No point in me finishing it if so.
