So I am finally going to buy this after a long wait and I just wanted to know whats the current status on the bugs overall, as I remember it being quite a mess at launch. The consensus is still that I should not turn the HD subtitles on? Or is it fixed by now? Any advice regarding that?

It works fine for me and I've got everything sans V-sync enabled. Not to say it'll be smooth for other people but so far I've had no trouble.

Basically everything is fixed minus a few very minor widescreen issues. There is the occasional geometry issues at the very edges of the screen that result in some black triangles in the ocean and whatnot, there are some SS's a page or so back to illustrate. There are probably still a couple others but that is the best example I can think of. HD fonts are fine.
Ok, thanks guys. Seems like I am good to go then. Can't wait to finally play the game.

It's funny how they tell us just enough to know his history is messed up juuuuuuuuust enough to put us in Estelle's shoes, then it's somehow WORSE.

Yes, I've recently discovered the amazingness of the Bracer Handbook as well. Who needs guides?
Well I do. Some of these damn quests don't have any clues

Yeah, I can't wait to see what they do in SC.
I... think this might actually be due to the bug-fix from before. The third school quest was bugged for so many people that we just kind of kludged it by making the achievement pop after only 2 quests.

Well, I guess that means I gotta rethink my orb patterns...tough to find a good setup for Joshua since his time only orbs are in a weird configuration.
and man, the timeframe for some of these later quests are strict as all hell...but then there are no quests after that lol. I'm at the final chapter now, can't wait to finish the game this weekend.

Just reached chapter 1. Is there like a recommended level list to end each chapter in? I finished the prologue level 10. And jesus fuck that was a long prologue.
The PC version expanded the pool quite a bit!

We had to requisition an entire waterpark.
I wouldn't worry about it. It's practically impossible to grind for experience in this game. Once you start outleveling the monsters, your experience gain per kill goes way down. Just make sure you're not skipping too many fights.

Yeah, I've been running past most enemies until I notice I'm getting a ton of XP and then fighting some. The game has still been easy. I wouldn't worry about levels too much.

I'm liking this so far, got to the second chapter. So far none of the bosses are too hard, just the encounters with multiple enemies give me trouble.
Some of the rare backtracking can be stupid - going up to the mine, seeing it locked, going back to the mayor, getting the key, going back. (unless I missed a trick and you can actually get the key if you talk to him again?). And so is the JRPG trope of defeating a villain only for them to do something outside battle and scarper.
The game is still really addictive though. Joshua is just tearing everything up.

About time to beat that boss. I wish I remembered what I did on the PSP version because I demolished him, granted that was in part due to the boss deciding to never heal. The setup in this guide looks like it should work decently enough though.
Unfortunately, it will have to wait until tomorrow...

Suddenly my right analog stick can control the camera, nice!
Edit: and the d-pad works without joytokey!
That was a 2,7mb patch, did it fix anything else?

New update broke my ps3 controller with the game, regardless of which one I use or how I lay out the buttons the map spins infinitely

Damn, like I said above the game now fully supports the 360 controller for me, didn't have to do anything, both the right stick and the d-pad are working like a charm.

If only I had a wired 360 controller -.-

Maybe, I generally like the PS3 controller better for anything that isn't an FPS, which I prefer mouse and key for
Also I fixed the problem, no surprise motioninjoy is a pos and getting something called SCP http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller This fixed all my issues so if anyone else is having problems try it instead

Yeah, a friend recommended that to me a while ago and I never looked back. Haven't had any issues with it yet either.
Confirmed dpad and right-stick enabled on my end (PS3 controller + Mayflash adapter). Still need Xpadder for the triggers, though.
I noticed Right Stick camera moves faster when turning left than right, but that might just be me. Something to do with deadzones, I guess. Gonna look into it.

I apologize for not popping in for a bit! Got caught up with some things. I hope Trails is going well for the most part with everyone. It looks like Sara's d-pad fix is already known, so that's great. I'm currently working on the HD assets now, since they have to be done in English, but we have them! I hope I can finish the HD assets soon-ish so that we can implement them for everyone to see. I hope no one minds the wait.

As in minimal side quest and NPC exploration? I'd probably say 30 hours or so.
My hope is that Falcom will use one of the commonly used game engines which would make ports easier.
Can't they use Unity engine or Unreal or something like that instead of the Sony-exclusive PhyreEngine?
(note, since I know nothing about game development, I may be saying something utterly stupid)

Finished chapter 2, really loving this so far it's lived up to the hype people have given it.
Edit: This might be a minor spoiler so I guess spoiler tag it though it's a fairly simple question. I understand that like Grandia you have no real control over who's in your party as your party is dictated by the story. However in any of the games in this series (Trails in the sky) is there ever a point where you can freely pick your party members? Or are you always forced to have certain characters for the entire trilogy?

Actually, there'll come a point even in this game where you can freely choose your party members. It's just... not for a while yet.

Just had to look up how to do the last "Temp Librarian" quest in Chapter 3 - how the hell are you supposed to figure that one out? I understand that
3 FL Barrel means a barrel on the 3rd floor, but what are all the other upper-case letters for? Or are you just supposed to run around areas with 3rd floors looking for a barrel?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Apparently I missed the 3rd Liberl News issue :'[
Not to upset about missing out on the achievement, and I know I can read it online, but it's the principle of the thing I was trying to get everything. I still have a save back from the end of chapter 1 which I assume it shows up at the book stand, but I really don't want to redo the past 4 hours of play to get back to Ruan.

This is practically impossible without a guide unless you talk to every NPC available every time the story inches forward. Even then, some issues are tough to find.
I suggest ignoring all completionist stuff on your first playthrough.

I'm 10 hours into the game, according to the average playtime I'm 1/5th of the way through, which is perfect as I want to finish this game asap since I have more stuff in my backlog. I've basically decided that whenever I find an area that gives me a decent amount of experience (at least 20 per battle) I'll grind out there until I'm gaining 9. Then it's skipping enemies because fuck battling enemies for only 9 per battle.
I'm pretty sure achievements are commutative so if you reload that save and read the issue it will go towards the achievement.
Gives away all sorts of story bits which is kind of the reason to play this series.
