Hahaha, no.
I mean I know nothing about the guy you're quoting, but in this case it's actually a pretty reasonable concern given the nature of the Trails/Kiseki series and it's heavy continuity. I don't think it'd be impossible for a newcomer to jump in here and enjoy the game and get a general understanding, but it's absolutely not recommended with this seriesDo you ever post anything that isn't either concern trolling or blatant console warring in a Nintendo related thread?
They should work with Xseed to bring over Cold Steel and Cold Steel II
releasing this without the context of like, seven other games seems like a pretty terrible move to me
It's not like there's a single platform that got all of the Trails games available on it. This line of argument is always bizarre to me - do you think people only ever buy hardware of a single manufacturer? Especially for games like Trails that are targetting more of a niche crowd I'd assume that ownership of multiple consoles is high.releasing this without the context of like, seven other games seems like a pretty terrible move to me

So what all games provide context then?I mean you can sort of watch infinity wars and End Game without watching other MCU movies but there won't be a lot of payoff, CS3 and 4 is basically simliar. On the other hand , the west still got screwed without the CrossBell games anyway.
Porting Cold Steel 1 and 2 would be up to XSEED, I assume.
And don't forget people like me who played the first two games on Vita and would prefer to continue the game on a handheld system rather than playing it on PS4. It's one of the reasons I didn't pick up CS3 yet.
What the.........Falcom has embraced the Switch, the apocalypse is coming now. Please bring the entire Kizeki series to Switch :(. Will double dip from Vita versions.

Nobody who would be making a trails OT would ever say this lol. But hey, it's probably not the absolute worst starting point in the series lol. At the very least it's easier to start with this one than say, Cold Steel II lolTrails of Cold Steel III Switch |OT| - Yes you can start with this one 😂
I'm pretty sure Falcom burned every bridge they had. They'll just give the script to every buyer that wants in.

Yeah, and a bunch of returning characters too. Obviously the cast of the first two cold Steel games is most prominent here compared to the sky and crossbell characters, but even those have a few who play major roles.
Clearly supporting this series on the PC is paying off! Can't wait to see how the absolutely tiny battle UI looks like in handheld mode.
I never undestand this.
I mean is it just the trails in the sky and cold steel games that need to be played?Yeah, and a bunch of returning characters too. Obviously the cast of the first two cold Steel games is most prominent here compared to the sky and crossbell characters, but even those have a few who play major roles.
On the bright side, hopefully this means they're outsourcing the PC version. Less of a chance of them doing a repeat of the Ys VIII job this way.
I mean is it just the trails in the sky and cold steel games that need to be played?
I mean yea you can 'play' it but without at least 1and 2 as a base the story is entirely meaningless because it relies extremely heavily on events and character interactions in 1-2.
NISA had a sweeter deal (ports to other systems) and XSeed couldn't compete. it's more Falcom chose the publisher that could get their games on more systems. XSeed doesn't have the bandwidth to do Switch ports in addition PC portsWhat did they do?
I know Falcom always had that issue of "no localization allowed until it's out in Japan" because of spoiler-phobia but how bad have things gotten?
Seems that way.So I could play the first two on Vita, and the third on Switch? I've been wondering about playing these games for a while. I bought the first for Vita, but didn't finish it. I should try again.
Ideally you'd want to play the two crossbell games (Zero no Kiseki and Ao no Kiseki) as well before III, but you'd need to rely on fantranslations for those. A far better fan translation of Zero should be coming very soon and Ao's current fan translation is decent enough, but no official localization is in sight any time soonI mean is it just the trails in the sky and cold steel games that need to be played?

Why? It isnt like the existence of this port changes anything about a PC portAnother big middle finger in the face of everyone who supported the kiseki series on PC so far.
I mean I still expect a PC port to come eventually, but yeah it's weird this was announced firstGee thanks NISA. Really cool to support the series on PC for years and instead of getting the newest entry they port it to the platform with no other games in the series so they'll be thrown into the middle of everything and have all the other games spoiled for them.
This release seems to be meant for the Vita crowd more than the Nintendo crowd TBH. Most of the Vita niche development has transitioned to Switch.Oh man, i don't think this will do good if Switch players of this game are basically missing 2/3 of the story.
this is completely useless without the other games coming first.
