If Persona/FFXV and CS2 all came out on the same day I would play and complete CS2 before even thinking of touching the other two, I am super hyped for Persona but DAT ENDING of CS1 has been eating at my soul since the end of last year when I finished the first game.
I have watched the opening of CS2 and the gameplay trailer like multiple times every day.

Yeah I was just being tongue in cheek with the lack of Europe in that announcement, I'm not worried.

Millium: Still Annoying.
CS1 spoilers:
Sounds broken as fuck tbh lol
Awesome!
What the hell is going on here?!?! Are they doing a tea party in the middle of a fight? XD
CS1 spoilers:
So Sharon is a FORMER Enforcer, correct? I was getting bombarded by BOMBZALDROPPENTON during the ending so when I hear both I get confused.

While I love the trails series so much and super excited for CS2, nothing touches persona 5 for me!

I was just going to skip this because I'm still having trouble getting into CS1 like 20 hours in, but this screenshot is making me reconsider.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Excellent, I am in the final dungeon near the end of the game.
After that I will take a break and replay it again on PS3 in summer, to get my body ready for CS2
Yeah, Sharon and Sara will be in my party as long as they can be there (if they pull off that whole switching party like CS)

I'm really thinking it's going to be awkward finding a party that I like. I don't particularly like switching mid battle and never used it in the first game, so I need a party of 4. While I'm kind of indifferent towards Rean, there will be times he is necessary. Besides when there's a main character I don't like switching them.out of the party for some reason even when possible.
That leaves 3 slots. I liked Sara and Laura from the first game. But Sharon, Clair and Toval all look like people I'd like to use as well. And even if I rarely used Artes, I do like having at least one caster in a group so an Emma/Elliot. Obviously if one of the aforementioned people are strong Arte users that works out better
But we'll see. Maybe some of the Class VII cast will grow on me more in this game.

Dumb speculation:
OH REALLY?
Compared that Vita and Bleublanc are directly helping the ILF and Nobility faction, I guess their aim is to spark a civil war via ALL THREE sides getting their Gundam on?
Either that or there's a split in the Anime Legion of Doom?

I guess it boils down to do you trust that person to be telling the truth?

Agreed with the Sharon talk (CS1 and FC/SC spoilers)
It's kind of mind blowing to have an Ouroboros enforcer in your party. There's the Joshua precedent I guess, but he wasn't a member of Ouroboros anymore by that time.
Then again, it's congruent with Bracer-related people like Sara and Toval already knowing about it. I guess this will be expanded on further.

Cold Steel got one.
I'm hoping it won't be more than the 2 month gap for the first game. Spoilers and discussion will be everywhere while we wait. I want them to reduce the gap as much as possible

is there something that would stop people from importing?
I've been watching the OT for a while and I haven't been spoiled in the slighest.
I import games when either they don't release here, or the version released is inferior such as VLR being Japanese only despite the US release having dual audio. I'd rather support the games locally.
Besides DLC is a factor. Sure I have a US PSN account, but I'd rather stick to my UK and not have any needless hassle. Further more with the Vita's monumentally stupid single account system it won't be possible to buy DLC for an import while playing on my main account.
I haven't been either. But it's kind of annoying seeing a game you want and there's so many people talking about it yet you can't play it yet. And then later when you do eventually get the game many people have already finished the game and moved meaning less opportunity to talk about it with people, and those who haven't will further then you in the game so you have to ignore so many posts when reading threads. I had that problem with both Sky SC and Cold Steel. It's just kinda annoying and can take away some of the fun of experiencing something together or at the same time as a lot of people.

No mean the EU folks instead of waiting 1-2 months.
DLC I understand. Anyone savvy on how save importing might work between US/EU?
I know that Trails in the Sky on PC was compatible with all the versions I looked at when it comes to save importing.
Don't forget sava data importing - http://gematsu.com/2014/07/sen-no-kiseki-ii-features-save-data-importing
Yeah I forgot about Save Data continuity as well which won't work here. PC is fine but it's two seperate submissions for each region hence the incompatibility. Besides even if it did work, i'd feel weird in that partly it's not my save, and the 'complete' save in question might not have made the same decisions I did.

After 3 games of this, nope. Heh.
Yet more CS1 spoilers:
Yeah, that's why I'm conflicted about this information, especially since the conversation came with her specifically attacking Ouroborous' "allies" the Nobility.
Whatever happens, it should be good.

#1 on my priority list for 2016 games.
The wait has been painful, but not as painful as the 2 year gap I had for FC->SC

It was for me as well a few days ago. Superseding the likes of Persona, FFXV, Last Guardian and more. However with the news of 3rd, if the release date of CSII is late in the year like November or something and 3rd releases early 2017 I might not play it yet. If the gap between games is 3 or 4 months I'm probably going to wait to play 3rd first and then CSII.
Funny to think that a year ago we only had Trails in the Sky First Chapter and were still desperately waiting for any news on the second part's release. Now we have Trails in the Sky Second Chapter & Trails of Cold Steel I as well, Trails of Cold Steel II isn't too far off and they announced Trails in the Sky The 3rd for a release in 2017 (I'm assuming another Q3/Q4 release). We went from having only 1 out of 7 games to having 5 out of 7 released + confirmed for release.

Currently there are only 1 and 2, but a third (and I think final) part is in development at Falcom. No release date yet though.
Trails in the Sky also has three parts by the way.

Two have been released in Japan but they just announced Trails of Cold Steel III recently. No idea about its platforms yet.
You know, not everyone has played/completed FC/SC, that bold spoiler probably should have had a warning >.> (I know I'm late on this but that really should have had a warning for non-CS spoilers...)

How is the soundtrack to CSII is it just as good as the first game?
IMHO overall it is better. There are more battle themes: New music for normal battle, non-human boss battle, human boss battle, mech battle, challenge chest battle, quest boss battle, friendly boss battle etc. Last 2 were recycled but they used the ones from the Super Arrange album which definately sound better.
My major complaint is that they replaced the dungeon infiltration theme (Atrocious Raid in CS1) without something else which I don't really like.

The OST of CSII is only 2 discs compared to the 4 discs of the first game. Does that mean it has less music overall?
Also I loved Atrocious Raid. Are you saying infiltration missions in CSII have no music playing anymore?
It means CSII reuses a fair amount of CSI music so they don't need to make as many new tracks, hence the shorter OST. At least I hope that's what it means. It's the same with TitS FC and SC.
