Dlc is just cosmetic so far, no shining poms. O well.

I have to wonder about this, because if a Cold Steel 3 port happens, I don't see how Jap voices could be applied to that game, since the game will be avalaible on ps4 (and I think there isn't any method to extract files from a ps4 game?)
So, maybe you start playing with Jap voices but then you have to change for english for Cold Steel 3, for me that would be an issue.
The DLC that are not for sale are already in the game.

It's up on the Humble Store (Steam Key + DRM Free), and cheaper if you have a monthly subscription ($32.39).

I thought you could end up spoiling parts of Trails in the Sky if you start this. I'm not finished with FC, and haven't even started SC. Would it hurt to jump in now?

It's a high school anime game - what did you expect?
Game itself is pretty good though, but had poor pacing at times. Feels about 10 hours too long.

Didn't see it in the game's Store Page but there seems to be a bundle with the DLC outfits cutting their price in half

I think Cold Steel 1 it just spoils one character's revel from SC, CS2 has some more spoilers
Same as the launch price of the vita/ps3 versions is a bit too much imo, but I want Zero/Ao >_<

I just decommissioned my 48:9 setup in favor of a single 4k monitor too...I has a sad now.
I wouldve probably scoffed at the price if they didn't put in the effort to this port. 5000 additional lines makes this an enhanced edition to me.
Still think the DLC shouldve been included though

If I've finished SC but haven't played The 3rd yet, do I play that or this first?
Gonna depend on how much side content and talking to NPCs you do, but my complete (or as complete as NG can be) run on Vita always talking with all Trista NPCs I got around 100 hoursHow long is the game? Just played Persona 5 for 130 hours might need a jrpg break
HLTB puts a "Main Story" playthrough as short as 60 hours
Some of the Star and Moon doors in 3rd do important setup for Cold Steel, I'd recommend finishing it before jumping in

But imagine how much faster it'll be with Turbo Mode! <3 Best JRPG feature ever

the Character list is missing the best character, Sara Valestein, aka Purple Lightning!!

Here's some info tidbit that I wanted to get into the final article but ran out of time:
all builds of the game (Steam, humble, GoG) are the exact same executable. This means they are all DRM-free.
The game dynamically connects to those platforms (Steam, GoG galaxy) that are present and where you own the game. If none are present, it simply runs in DRM-free mode. (As a side effect, this also means that if you were to buy the game on both Steam and GoG, you could unlock achievements on both simultaneously with the same build)

She needs a belt to hold up her chest :0
English only sounds as good as the translated script allows it to be. No comment on this game though since I haven't played it in English yet.

She will get more credit when the CS2 OT happens...still, shes amazing in boththe Character list is missing the best character, Sara Valestein, aka Purple Lightning!!

Having already beat both on PS3, I'm playing this for the additional VA and to fix my ending mistake. I feel like it'll probably take me 40 hours or less though thanks to turbo mode. I'll be utilizing it for every random encounter and field. Great feature for replays, really wouldn't have touched it if I hadnt already played the game.

Oh well, this could be an issue indeed. But it's still hard for me to not to choose jp voices when i have the oppurtunity for CS 1&2 at least. Best to worry about that when we see that day ^.^
Voice direction is also important. I would say it as well as the script were handled well. The person you're responding to would likely have a negative view of English dubs for Japanese games regardless of execution, going by their blanket dismissal.
Eh, I really wouldn't say it's necessary. IIRC, it's only one door that heavily foreshadows Cold Steel and honestly I feel like I enjoyed it more by having played Cold Steel first. It kinda blew my mind to see just how far ahead Falcom were planning, even 10 years ago.

I only included the characters on the official website to avoid what XSEED might consider spoilers.

That's pretty cool, and funny heh.

Hope you don't mind me posting here, but I just finished playing this on Vita and wrote a review here:
https://kresnik258gaming.wordpress....legend-of-heroes-trails-of-cold-steel-review/
Obviously nothing about the PC-specific changes, but should be a good overview of the game. Not the most amazing RPG and definitely a filler entry, but still fun for what it is.

Exactly my thoughts! I loved the combat but the pace slowed down considerably in many portions, particularly the town where you ride a horse. I consider it too long but Trails fans probably love the extra dialogue and lore. I enjoyed my time with it but won't go back to it.
That said, this version looks VERY good graphically.
Well Sara is part of Class VII as an instructor. That's all people have to know. What her background is like should be put in spoiler tags.

Oh really? That's great then.
I'm really close to start a new playtrough, even if I already beat the game just last year. Really enjoyed it, but I need to beat other games in my backlog. Umm what to do.
Precision Erebonian engineering making the fastest trains on the continent
3rd and maybe more vague CS1/2 spoilers
There's the Kloe Moon Door setting up Lechter's character (tbh he's barely there so this might be the least important of those) and then the Star Door with him and Osborne setting up the conflicts in CS
There's the door about the attacks on the Bracer Guilds
There's the door about North Ambria
And of course, Star Door 14 where you find out what happened with the Aureole and the start of the Phantasmal Blaze plan

To get the full experience, make sure you are at least talking to all of the students during each time period. They all have their own stories that they progress through during the game and it's a complete joy following them throughout the game.
Of course so do many of the townspeople as well, but at the very least you should be talking to the students. Plus this is how you fill out the character info for them.

It is on sale. Just bought it.

Awesome. I prefer Steam for playing games, but when there's a DRM-free option available I sometimes feel like a sucker for ignoring it. Glad I don't have to worry about that here.Here's some info tidbit that I wanted to get into the final article but ran out of time:

This is fantastic news given I was just now feeling annoyed that the Humble page didn't bother to note that you have choose between Steam and DRM free like with Sky.
