This is moronic. No one has played 1 & 2 but has held off on 3 waiting for switch. Release 1 & 2 first or don't bother
The DLC is all just cosmetic stuff which I personally never used. Unless you plan to play it in handheld mode mostly I'd get it on PS4.For those who haven't picked up the PS4 version, which would you go for? I'm having trouble deciding personally.
The PS4 version has 1080p resolution and is 60 frames per second.
And while the Switch version is 720p resolution and 30 frames per second, it has all the DLC for free which if you wanted it on PS4 would be about $45 altogether on PS4, and the portability would be nice for those segments where it's just dialogue, and nothing but.
Would love to hear y'all's opinions.
It's been less 2 months since the game launched. Relax.I'm OK with the game being on more platforms, I'm not OK as someone who has all the games of the series on PC not having a port announced for it, if it's ever happening at this point.
A lot of people feared NISA would skip PC release and it's proving to be true.

If there are no performance issues, I'd rather get it on the Switch. Portability for these kind of games are a godsend for me.
Turbo mode is in ps4, no reason it shouldn't be here tooI Just need to see the fast forward mode and than i am ready to preorder It on eshop right now.

I did. Played 1/2 on Vita and then bailed on the series. I only really use portables due to a long commute/young family.This is moronic. No one has played 1 & 2 but has held off on 3 waiting for switch. Release 1 & 2 first or don't bother

Raises hand.
I knew this thread would've been filled with replies like this. I don't know why people think the gaming landscape is one ecosystem or nothing. It's not 1996 anymore!
I played the first two on Vita and would love playing this on Switch.
I only play RPGs on portables, so I played on Vita, and was gonna skip 3 until this.This is moronic. No one has played 1 & 2 but has held off on 3 waiting for switch. Release 1 & 2 first or don't bother
It isn't.Yeah this seems... utterly pointless without the first two games.
Other than Trails in the Sky the 3rd and Cold Steel 3, all of the official English releases are playable on the Vita. The Vita is dead and I daresay most of the Vita fans have migrated to the Switch. Releasing Cold Steel 3 on the Switch makes a ton of sense. Stop acting like this is a nuts announcement.

Falcom/NISA/XSEED should get their heads out of their arses and find a way to ultimately release both, the first two Cold Steel games on Switch and the third one on PC. That would be the best case scenario.
if Xseed has full publishing rights for anything on the previous games, expect to not see them anywhere again. The sales on a re-release would be far too low to justify helping a competitor with future releasesLet's be fair, "People who played games XYZ on Vita and now went with Switch" is a *very* specific target audience and even in the niche where the Trails games roam in rather ... niche. ^^

XSEED has no reason to do the work to port the other games to any platform. If they do work with Falcom again, I'd sooner expect an announcement for Celceta on PS4 since like CS1/2, that version already exists in JP on PS4.

If that's the bar you're putting up, the series will die. Expecting that every previous title be available on a console before a new one is released there is just not a reasonable request, putting aside that Zero and Azure have never got official English releases anyway. (TRANSLATE THEM FOR ME NISA!)releasing this without the context of like, seven other games seems like a pretty terrible move to me

I'll be the first to admit I shouldn't be the audience dictating where RPGs should and shouldn't be released :DLet's be fair, "People who played games XYZ on Vita and now went with Switch" is a *very* specific target audience and even in the niche where the Trails games roam in rather ... niche. ^^
This is clearly for Vita->Switch users, of which there are many.Without dropping the first two games in the series first? Bold strategy, Cotton.

I don't think there is any scenario that could possibly make it a good thing for xseed. Falcom would have to pay an exorbitant amount ti buy the publishing rights back and then also invest in the porting costs. I can't imagine xseed wanting anything more than a ridiculous amount either based on both the circumstances, and just helping a competitor in general.Yeah, that's why i said "find a way". I know that XSEED doesn't burn money, but there has to be a way that this best case scenario works out with every party involved being okay with.
Lack of ressources and time to optimize for both setups....seems pretty straightforward.Without the first two I don't have much interest.
I never undestand this.
Niche games targeting niche audience - shocking.Let's be fair, "People who played games XYZ on Vita and now went with Switch" is a *very* specific target audience and even in the niche where the Trails games roam in rather ... niche. ^^

That's less due to spoilers as opposed to the fact that they have a habit of making last-minute changes during development, be they related to gameplay or writing.What 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?
I'm not going to claim that it's a large amount of people, but it's certainly not no one. I played 1&2 on Vita and was deeply disappointed by the lack of a portable version of 3 and have held of buying the game as a result of that (I also haven't bought Trails in the Sky the 3rd for the same reason). I'm very happy about this announcement, although you're certainly not wrong in that it would be wiser to have 1&2 available as well - though, considering Xseed handled the PS4 release of those games, they would likely have to handle a Switch release, not NISA.
I will say the marketing of CS3 blows what Xseed does out of the water and probably help sells a number of copies of CS 1 and 2 Kai on PS4. With Switch being this popular with RPG fans, i thinks its a missed opportunity not to explore that option.
As far as the first two games go, Falcom owns the translations so XSEED likely wouldn't need to be involved in a hypothetical Switch port. Ys Origin was localized by XSEED on PC but they had nothing to do with the console ports, DotEmu used their translatiosn when they ported the game.
