Hopefully SC remake will be done soon, it's best to play FC and SC remake back to back, absolutely the most optimal way to experience this.
 
Wait is this really 60? I played the demo in hamdheld and it felt like 30 to me
There is unfortunately no Switch 2 demo. If you play the demo on Switch 2, you're just playing the Switch 1 version.
 
What other games in this series (or others) play like this game with a mix of real time and turn based combat?

I am loving this game so much. I loved it on the psp too when it was turn-based but the job they did here is amazing! I get a sense of elation playing this game, similar to how playing games on the ps1 used to be back in the day. Ys 7 and 8 were similar, party based action combat. This one does both and I think thats what elevates it.

The latest arc. The Daybreak games. The orbment system is better in the Daybreak games as well.

In person the switch 2 looks amazing for this game and its fluid 60, well I think it is, it feels like it in smoothness of animations. I have not seen any stutters or anything yet. I play on both docked and hand held. I haven't popped it into my switch oled to compare yet.
Feels like I'm one of the only ppl online acknowledging that it actually looks really damn good on Switch 2, whereas everyone else is more concerned pointing out the fact that it's not a super locked/stable 60fps docked, when it's still looks and runs more than acceptable (esp consindering its @2160p).

I'd honestly go so far in calling this the best way to play the game since you have both tv and handheld options to play, esp if you primarily play in handheld since it performs much better than on Steam Deck which caps @ ~45fps and even then still has multiple dips (on an 800p screen)

Why TF is the TAA option only in the PC version?

Anti aliasing on PS5 looks like a relic of the X360 era here, everything looks so shimmery, doubly noticeable in motion.

I'm playing on Switch 2 and think it looks fantastic in both modes as well.
 
got my copy of Trails in the Sky today. got the ps5, probably should have gotten switch just for an excuse to use up more memory on that. fuck how big games are, and how small the ps5 memory size is. maybe now i finally see why Estelle is 'best girl'
ignored her in the games i played mostly and never really added her to the party

runs like a dream on pc for me. loved the original and this is as good as a remake can get i suppose. i do feel the lack of real ambushes in the world (at least so far in the rolent chapter still) though, in the OG you at least had to put in some attention when traversing the world, but i guess its not really possible to compare the old systems to the new one. I enjoy the enhanced Calvard COmbat System, but for me personally reverie is still peak gameplay fun with trails
 
I was finding the story a bit slow for the prologue and first half of chapter 1 but it's really starting to pick up now. Basically from meeting Olivier onward has been better in that regard -- he's great and adds a fun dynamic to the party that was missing (I haven't played the original so not sure what to expect).

The story picks up here and there but it's not really until the second game where it all comes together and is non stop peak trails. They were supposed to be one game I read someone say. It makes a lot of sense with the way things play out in the first.
 
I don't like the action combat style at all from what I seeing so far in Skies. Just gonna stick to turn based forever. If I want action combat I play a tales game

I just used it for quick battles really. Jumping into turn based just to one shot everything was a waste of time.

You're not really meant to do lots of action combat, it's more just to stun / gain advantage before going in to turn based, or to quickly dispatch lower leveled enemies. It's very simplistic action combat because of that -- all the strategy and real gameplay is in the turn based, the boss fights don't even give you a chance to do action they go straight in to turn based.
