SUMMARY:
Prince Olivert and the Courageous are MIA. The students of Class VII are scattered across the country. Rean is gone.

Civil war has erupted in the Erebonian Empire. The four great noble families have finally launched their plan to take down Prime Minister Osborne and gain control of the nation. To do so, they've enlisted the help of the mysterious group Ouroboros, the mercenaries Nishi no Kaze, and the Imperial Liberation Front. With the capital having fallen to their might, seemingly nothing stands in the way of complete control of Erebonia.

Following his defeat at the hands of Crowe, Rean awakens in the mountains, with only Selene to keep him company. What exactly does fate have in store for him and his friends? Will they be able to put a stop to this vicious civil war? Will Olivier finally hook up with Schera (No clue if she's in the game or not, but pretty please)? Find out the answers to none of this or some of this and more, in Sen no Kiseki II.

GENERAL RULES OF SPOILERS ETC

If you don't read this, you'll make Ryouga cry. Please don't make him cry as it's pretty embarrassing.

As many of us are more than aware, much of the fun of the Kiseki series is following along from game 1 all the way to the most recent title. Seeing how things connect, characters develop etc; it's one big universe which is pretty damn rare in this day and age of gaming.

THAT BEING SAID. It is not necessarily the case that everybody is going to play that way.

As such, if you're going to describe things that that occur in previous games in the series (FC, SC, 3rd, Zero, Ao), please spoiler them. Random spoiler bars aren't very helpful by themselves, so please try to caption them with the game in question. It's getting harder and harder to discuss these games without talking about things that happened in earlier releases, hence why it's become exceedingly important that everybody plays by these rules.

I repeat, please caption spoilers with the games you're spoiling. Please be kind. It's not hard. <3

Anybody interested in this series but can only speak English? Go play Trails in the Sky for the PSP and the PC. It's the first game in the series, it's super good, and it's inexpensive. You won't regret it.

For everybody else: I hope you're hyped. It has been a long year, but we're finally going to get to see what happens to poor Erebonia and the people who live in it.

MY PLEA TO YOU ALL
Look, I completely understand that the wait for SC has been unbearable. I get it. I know that you see this, game 7, and wonder if it'll ever get localized. I know you want to talk about it and vent how sad you are over not getting to play this rad looking game.

Please, for the love of the Goddess, don't post about it here. I don't want this thread to be buried under tons of posts talking about the chances of XSEED localizing the game. I want this to be a place to discuss Sen II, post theories and impressions, and just have a good time. I know I can't make this a rule or anything, but I would personally be very grateful if you at least consider this. Thank you! <3

 

[Hasemo]

Great ot, subscribed.
Get wait to get my hands on the game tomorrow!

 

[Hours Left]

I shouldn't even be in this topic, but I just wanted to say how jealous I am of everyone.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I'm so fucking jealous.


Have fun, guys.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Hahaha. I knew you two would post in here.

 

[Nightengale]

I'm going to spoil myself on everything Olivier related because I'm a shallow human being like that.

Come at me, Ai no Karyu!

 

[Vivid]

Reporting in! (and probably not dropping by much until I clear it)

Me until I get my copy:

 

[desmax]

Does anyone knows what the famitsu review of the game said? The score seemed fairly low for the franchise standards...

Not that famitsu is trustworthy, I'm just curious

 

[t26]

My LE order from play-asia shipped!

 

[Rpgmonkey]

I'm really tempted to just go ahead and buy this because I enjoyed Sen a lot and don't have any other console RPGs in the pipeline until Zestiria, but I haven't played Zero and Ao yet and don't want to jump even further ahead in the chronological/release timeline than I already did. It's my fault, I know.

It seems Zero already has a PC release in Japanese and I guess Ao will get one at some point, maybe I'll try to get those unless they're really bad ports...

 

[NesFe]

Nice OT. Got my copy ordered alongside Dangan another episode. They should arrive in a couple of days. I can't wait to dive in after that ending.

 

[li bur]

wait, schera is in this game?

The normal stuff they say about Kiseki. Hard to follow if you haven't played previous games, not enough voice, new systems hard to understand or something, not enough gimmicks in dungeons/areas.

wait, schera is in this game?

Not that they've revealed. But goddammit I'm gonna keep hoping.

 

[Nightengale]

I'm going to flip a table if she's not in.

I'm going to flip two table if there's no scene between her and

best sister

 

[Shouta]

My body is ready!

 

[kpjolee]

On middle of Sen no Kiseki chapter 6. By the time I finish with the first one, I will be able to start on 2 right away. Good times.

 

[RyoonZ]

Chinese OP if anyone interested

Just beat the Chinese version of the prequel 2 months ago. Can't wait for this.

Hope it's ready at local retailer tomorrow.

Oooh, thanks! Will add to the post.

 

[warningjab]

Awesome ! Can't wait to play this when it arrives.

 

[Aeana]

Thanks for making the thread, Ryouga.

I'm obviously looking forward to playing the game, but I'm also looking forward for our Korean- and Chinese-speaking brethren joining us simultaneously for the first time (I hope there's many of you!).

No problem.

And me too! I'm also pretty jazzed that JonnyRam will be finishing Sen tonight, just in time for II.

 

[Aeana]

Play-Asia charged me really early this time. All the way back on Saturday. I expect it on Friday morning, as is the usual when I get FedEx shipping from P-A on release weeks.

 

[expel]

Finally caught up with thr series early this month, so this will be my first launch day kiseki game! Hurray!

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Feels like there are gonna be a bunch of people who have caught up in time for Sen II. It's really cool having so many folks going in simultaneously.

Also for those of you who use Line, Kiseki and Ys stickers are officially available for purchase.

 

[encephalon]

I'm not watching trailers. Tomorrow. The same week as Zero. I am not ready for this in my life.

Hopefully they keep the creepy to a minimum this time.

First time posting on GAF. I'll be more than happy to be part of this craziness.

 

[jae]

Super excited for tomorrow! Still have the painful memories of the ending to Sen I.

 

[Aeana]

Edited the title in case people didn't know about the Chinese and Korean releases.

 

[Kysen]

Whelp looks like I wont make the platinum in time.

Oh, Famitsu.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Oh thanks. Didn't dawn on me to put it into the thread title.

 

[twentytwo22]

Thanks for making the OT! I just saw this sitting on the shelf early at my local furage shop (along with Danganronpa), and it was so hard to pass up. Reservation bonuses and the fact that I will have no time to play tonight anyway held me back. So hype for tomorrow though.

I hate you so much.

I hate you less because you didn't pick it up, but I still hate you nonetheless.

 

[Dreamgazer]

Won't get this game till I plat the first.

Which at this rate means never...sigh...

 

[ranmafan]

Well mine just arrived thanks again to the Falcom Store. Sorry for the terrible picture. Love how Falcom ship them early. However I have no idea when ill ever get to play it as I am still very far behind in my kiseki marathon. I had hoped to be done with it in time for today. Oh well at least it will be waiting for me when Im done.

Spewing hatred your way right nooooowwwww. Why do I have to wait until tomorrow morning. =((((

Wish you had your copy now too. I gotta recommend the falcom store for people in Japan, everytime I've used them they got me the game a day early. Great service!

 

[Varion]

Reporting in! (and probably not dropping by much until I clear it)

Yep, this'll be me too. Just got to survive today, then it'll be up first thing tomorrow to download it off PSN and flee the internet to avoid spoilers. Then I'll be back when it's done to cry about how awful the ending was and how the wait for the next game is going to be hell. Just like last time.

 

[jdkluv]

Less than 24 hours until the Sound Team jdk gods fucking bless us with another perfect OST.

This is our curse. The curse that we must shoulder for all the others.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

I'm so fucking jealous.


Have fun, guys.

[Augemitbutter]

feels like there is another LoH OT every other month. must be nice to live in fairyland.

 

[coredecepts]

Incredi-jelly right now. I'll just be over here waiting for Trails SC from XSeed. Not even sure why I visit these threads, since I just scroll past all the images and game info because I don't want to spoil myself on the off-chance that I get to play this in English sometime in the next 15 years.

 

[distantmantra]

Not sure when my copy will get to Seattle, but I'll be taking part along with everyone else this time, instead of playing it nearly a year later like Sen I.

Bring on the Cybuster.

edit: No more school scheduled structure, right?

 

[Shouta]

I don't think the school stuff will be in this game as the stage is different now. It'll be much more traditional Trails game. The school stuff was really to setup this second game and all the events so there's no reason to be bound by it for this.

That's what I assumed, but I've assumed wrong in the past.

Spoiler

Please no more walk around town and then go fight in the basement again.

But you can't be a Persona clone if you don't have a monolithic dungeon.

We didn't reach it.

You guys should have ordered 10 copies each. LOL

 

[Hasemo]

Let's do this!

 

[redhairedking]

I love the OT title! One of these days I'll get caught up with Kiseki, hopefully sooner rather than later.

edit: I love the art on the special edition box but hate the regular cover with a passion.
