Yep, that's what I thought lol.
Actually, at first I thought it was Weissmann, but that didn't make sense because he never met Ries. Then I figured it must have been a version of Kevin he wished for when he entered Phantasma or something.

no what you see is people being anxious about NISA getting cs3 but i would be surprised if they would get it
First few appearances:
Gilliath Osborne lol
I got on the right track after it got more personal.
So lemme explain how internet rumors work.
It kinda...is him, really. The others are at least magitek clones of the originals only in service of the cube, but she was completely a sadistic nemesis.
I have a question regarding one of the Anguis for those that have finished Cold Steel 3.
I haven't played CS3, but from what I've read it seems like Arianrhod got a serious downgrade in terms of relative power when compared with other characters. Do my impressions have merit?
her power gets contested basically. If it is a case of her being overhyped in-game or other characters being stronger than assumed i cannot say.
Arianrhod acknowledges Aurelia's strength as someone that can become stronger than herself. She also acknowledges Laura's power being stronger than her own when she was Lianne but also saying she has reached her limit.
So we've learned Cassius is actually super ripped underneath those clothes.
And that original Dunan design is amazing, lol.

I might be actually interested in a Falcom Gakuen anime with CLAMP character designs.
You are in luck, the fanbase and Falcom agrees with you. Let's just say you will be pleasantly surprised by Looking Up at the Sky being used in future Trails games.
Just finished SC last night, stayed up till 4AM for the final battle. It's very long, but I really enjoy every moment of it. The music, wow, just wow.
As a new fan, I guess I'm lucky that I don't have to wait years for SC. But I imagine fans who waited for years probably get more enjoyment from it than I do.

It's not so much a matter of how long you had to wait as much as how often you played FC. Someone who played FC to bits, like Cqef, will get considerably more mileage out of SC than someone who had to read up on the plot because they only played FC once way back. Meeting characters you (but not your protagonist) already know is fantastic. Example from an NPC from FC's Prologue in Sen III:
FC has the perfect length for a quick replay too. Now with SC it would take longer, especially a completist run.It's not so much a matter of how long you had to wait as much as how often you played FC.

This is one my favorite things about the kiseki series. I absolutely love running into old NPCs from previous games.
Speaking of Legend of Heroes games, the free "browser based" one (Akatsuki no Kiseki) has characters from Trails of Cold Steel in it now.
I finished a replay of Sky SC a few weeks ago and I noticed something curious that I haven't seen people discuss before.
Near the end of Chapter 6, when a Pale Apache attacks Estelle and Joshua, Campanella says the following lines (emphasis mine): "And so a new obstacle arises to block the reunited heroes! How will this affect their legend? Let's find out!"
He indirectly references the name of the series while speaking like a narrator or a show host.
Joshua also notes that Campanella hasn't aged a day since they last saw each other.
For now, the man is the series' biggest mystery to me.

This is probably significant in some way, as opposed to being a random wacky gag, because he looks directly at the camera and seems to speak to the player in a different scene.

This could indicate fey heritage, as Erebonian Folklore specifically names short stature and fondness for pranks as the main distinguishing traits of fairies.

Xseed will be streaming this Friday on their Twitch channel. The tweet came with an image of Akiba'Strip but they don't detail what games they'll be playing. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up but maybe tune in to the low-key event on the off-chance we get some sort of announcement.
What we want:
-Sen III localization news
-Zwei!! PC release date
-Cold Steel II PC release date
-Ys Celceta PC port
What we'll get:
-Super Service Penguin
-bunch of whiners in chat

The way they present the stream makes me think there is very little chance anything gets announced.
Yeah, I saw that and it didn't even cross my mind this could be an announcement stream, honestly.
If XSEED wanted to, they could go the Atlus JP route of trolling and deeper wierdness.
Maybe they've finally implemented the arbitrary resolution and unlocked framerate for Akiba Strip, alleviating the need for the community patch?
Good find, and sorry to burst your bubble, but that reference was introduced through the liberties of localisation.
What he originally said was: "And so a new obstacle arises to block the reunited couple! How will this affect their fate?"
Regarding your other point,
I think Campanella has a far bigger role to play than a relic of Erebonia's ancient belief system. More likely contenders for the personification of fairy are Towa Herschel or Musse Egret.
What the hell, XSeed? This is such a cheesy and forced reference. Pretty much on "We are really the Last of Us, Ellie"-level.
Well, at least with us travelling from Ruan to Zeiss by airliner, we'll be able to leave some Trails in the Sky Second Chapter
So this came up in the Media Create thread. It really doesn't bode well for Xseed and them having Trails if NIS will be interested in it. Is it time to panic?
Do we have that knowledge? So nobody is working on it right now? WTF Falcom. I had hoped someome was working on it in secret. 2018 is a pipe dream now...
Definitely looking like NISA is going to be their partner going forward. I wouldn't mind as long as the quality of the new Ys translation is what we could expect and they can maintain consistency. Probably too much to hope for though.
we have no idea if anyone has won the bidding yet.I would assume contracts have been signed but by who is the big question.
Honestly, I think I'd just be walking away at that point.
I have no confidence that the localization would be as endearing as one might have come to expect from the series, and I especially have no confidence that the eventual PC port would be anything above awful.
I'd still buy Cold Steel 2 for PC, but mainly for pity's sake if it comes to this.
With the way Hatsuu has talked about it in various places, it doesn't seem like they have the rights yet.
Even if they have the contract, she's not gonna talk like they have it. So they either got it or they don't, and there's no way she's gonna let something slip if it's NDA.
I've maintained that I will walk away. If Falcom won't bother to maintain quality western releases, then why should I care about them either.
I'm definitely not buying Ys VIII until this is settled. The revised examples they've shown don't even give me confidence in the rewrite.
That interview does seem like concrete evidence that NIS is interested in making the localizations. However, why did they fuck up Ys8 in such a colossal way, if even their CEO cares about Falcom? It all seems so weird.
I would probably still buy Cold Steel 3, even a middling translation is better than walking away at this point. If they do ruin that game, well, yeah, then I would probably ignore future games.

Ys 8 was a mismanaged project, they didn't fuck it up on purpose.
