Return of the king edition
haha...
It's hilarious how quickly Van was forgotten by the fanbase while Rean is still a meme.
He wonned
>>4058824wtf I love Sen no Kiseki now
>>4058836Rean is also the best girl if he wants to be, since he's the best at everything :)
>>4057819His games were simply shit.
Nun was the best ship
>>4058836Same.
>>4057819Van's english VA is awful while Chiplock's readings were extremely charming
I remember visiting this board when hahaman spamming was at its peak. The fact this place is now so dead that I could probably autistically keep a thread on this board for years because I'd only need to bump once a week on average is hard to believe.
>>4062362>The fact this place is now so deadI like vrpg being a slow board. On v most threads are archived within 10 minutes.
second form: hayate
>>4059192>Chiplock's readings were extremely charmingBro is a legit gamer. One of us
>dub
>>4062677I don't have an issue with slow but this board has reached a point where it's too slow. It's a complete crap shoot even getting a response since barely any fags visit now.
>>4062677Not anymore. All of 4chan is now slower than it was in 2007 for the first time ever.
>>4064732Things have gotten so bad now that ranging banning India would just kill the website since they've driven most of the humans away.
Rean....
>>4064793I'm sure removing IP counters so they could test their garbage llms and marketing threads had nothing to do with it. At least that's my headcanon. /fg/ straight up feels like robots talking to each other.
>>4066296>/fg/ straight up feels like robots talking to each other.Why don't you like robots, anon?
>>4066299Can a robot say nigger? Can a robot make a hyperborea edit? Can a robot post something it's not copied from someone else?
>>4066304They can wear stockings and swallow my cum and that's all that matters.
I'm not gonna lie bros your haha spamming here put me off of the series for a while and probably biased me against Cold Steel so it's my least favorite arc and Rean takes way too fucking long to develop but I'm still glad I got into the series.
>>4066390I liked Cold Steel until the third game when it became obvious the story had no stakes. I hated Daybreak from the start just because of how soulless the cast and setting felt.
>>4066390Somehow I ended up disliking Crossbell the most. Sky is superb with some bad spots in SC. Coldsteel is a rollercoaster with high highs and pitfall level lows. But it still felt like an experience worth playing. Crossbell is just everyone simping for Lloyd and nothing interesting happening besides the satanic kabal at the end of both games.
>>4066565Doobie is one of my favorite characters for some reason, like, years later for some reason.
>>4066565I liked Crossbell for the setting. I actually did grow quite fond of the city itself, and I would regularly walk around and talk to NPCs just to hear their thoughts on whatever was happening in the plot at the time. I agree that Lloyd wasn't a very interesting protagonist. I wish they had played up him investigating his brother's murder. That should have been his goal from the beginning of the first game.
>Oh yeah, that happened
>>4066390To be fair, I think it's pretty reasonable to separate Cold Steel 1/2 and 3/4/H >>4067178Yeah, i think crossbell benefitted a lot for having a single consistent setting across 2 games - They kinda have that in Cold Steel with the schools, but it's not to the same extentIn terms of negatives, I would also add that Elie noticeably gets shafted as a main character in crossbell - like she just gets so much less to work with than anyone else and it really hurts her as a character. Like Elliot's bad too, don't get me wrong, but that's in a game with a cast 3 times the size, and even he has a bit more going on.
>>4066940this but unironically>>4067178I'm not knocking the setting, it's great. But the characters and storytelling felt like a big step-down from Sky.
>>4067313>>4067409Do you think the Crossbell games would have been better if they focused on 2 characters instead of 4, similar to the Liberl games? If so, what two characters would you choose?
>>4067423>instead of 4 I think the Crossbell games should have focused more on the other 3 over Lloyd. It's 90% Lloyd and 10% Tio/Randy/Ellie. If Lloyd was interesting, or had a romance going, or was some revolutionary fighting against his corrupt government I would have loved that. But he's just a normal guy with girls fawning over him who just happens to stumble over clues at the right place at the right time. He's boring.If he was Crow, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
>>4066304>Can a robot post something it's not copied from someone else?
>>4064732Before the sharty hack, /vt/ was once on its way to be the new face of 4chan with /pol/ slowling down.
>>4067427>If he was Crow, we wouldn't be having this conversation.I always wished Crow was the main character of the Erebonia games. It would have been interesting to enter the government-ran school with the knowledge that you are recretly plotting the government's downfall.
>>4062677/vrpg/ isnt slow, its just turn based
>>4068032deep
>>4067423Two would require a pretty big reworking of things. I think you could actually do something with Lloyd and Randy as a duo and make it interesting, but the game and story would need a huge reworking. It'd also be even more fujo-y than rean/crow.Not to be mean to Tio but she doesn't really have the right kind of character to be a main lead instead of a side one imo. Noel could maybe be interesting but she suffers a lot from being underutilized too so she'd need a pretty expansive retooling to her to make her a main character. But I see a theoretical world where you could replace Lloyd with Noel and find something that works. Dudley, Wazy, and Rixia (who frankly I'm generally fed up with and wish they stopped pushing her so much) would need to be completely different characters to not be later add-ons to the party. >>4067427> It's 90% Lloyd and 10% Tio/Randy/EllieI generally disagree with that. Randy takes a pretty large slice of the pie for himself. It's like 40% Lloyd, 25% Randy, 10% Wazy, 10% Rixia, 8% Tio, and 7% Noel/Elie/Dudley.
Anons forgot about the best Crossbell character. Write a story about her and I'll buy the remakes.
>>4067427>>4067984Rean and Crow were the same character back when Alisa was the MC
>>4069342That's interesting. Rean being a villain would be pretty cool considering how ideal he is.
>>4069342>>4069358I think they switched to not have it be a repeat of Sky
>>4071294Joshua is never really a villain though. At worst he's just being brainwashed by Faceless. Crow had legitimate criticisms of the Erebonian government.
>>4069270The main story will probably be unchanged going by Sky remakes but including some sidequests with her is 100% a change they should make cause even with the added cameo in Azure her admiration for them in Cold Steel still feels forced.
For me, it's Towa.
>>4075041I love Emma. I'll never forgive those bastards for taking away her glasses in the later games.
>>4075346...you can just immediately re-equip them though? But I get what you mean, Horizon removes Towa's cute new glasses after she meets back up with Rean and the others.
>>4075534>>4075346Let me unequip Fie's titsThey peaked with her CS2 design and never managed to get to that level again
>>4075534>...you can just immediately re-equip them though?They don't appear in cutscenes though, do they?
>>4075597Yes they do, all outfits and accessories appear in cutscenes.
>>4069342I remember in the 3 teaser there were people thought Crow was Ogre Rean
Move over Rean, the girl is back in town.>headpatted from an early age>daughter of a legendary staff-man>best friend of every person in Rolent>has a surrogate brother for childhood, boyfriend for adolescence>becomes the greatest fisherman in history >becomes a national treasure and personal acquittance of the Queen and the Princess who she later cucks>people start praising the sun at near mention of her name >stops anime satan in every arc>gets do-overs if she doesn't like your kisses>adopts a hyper mega genius rape victim for fun>has a mini-arc about becoming sexy and she was already the perfect girlfriend>her 1st remake tripled Falcoms stock worth>remains retarded enough to be likable even after 13 gameshaha...
>>4078569Pizza cake
>>4064732>/pol/irrelevent "containment" board.what happened in 2007 anyway? i don't remember shit about it because i was wageslaving till my mind and body broke.also didn't 4chins go offline for a while because wagie moot could not pay the bills?
>>4064792why would grapeape ban himself?>>4063611oh hi, rean!
Kai 2 has been soft confirmed for next year btwHope it's not a CS4 level stupid bloated mess again
>>4078569love
>>4078569>adopts a hyper mega genius rape victim for funHer only mistake, Renne definitely had sex with Joshua behind her back
>>4087892 it and /v/ were the highest traffic from 2014-2023, but this is probably a post lacking self-awareness due to a trip, so I'll leave it at that.
>>4069270^^^^
>>4059192People still play Trails with the English dub? I loved the dubs for CS1 and 2, but 3 had a clear quality drop and by Reverie it was severely compromised with a lot of mediocre lines. Kuro 1 I switched to subbed, and for the few minutes I have tested out the dub I was alienated. Van sounded bad, Elaine sounded like a middle aged woman, etc. But in Japanese, everyone sounds good, and Daisuke Ono as Van is great to listen to as the protagonist for 300 hours (also voices Jing Yuan in HSR!).>>4062362You will find more active discussion on RPGcodex, RPGhq, and Kiwi Farms.>>4066565Agreed. Crossbell was boring, and worse, you have to put up with it for not just 50 hours. Not just 100 hours. But 200 hours including its mandatory chapters in CS3, CS4, and Reverie.
>>4111374>You will find more active discussion on RPGcodex, RPGhq, and Kiwi Farms.The Kiwi Farms thread is just as dead, I don't know about the other 2.
>>4111374my experience too. Liked CS1 and 2 dub but all the other games just have VAs that sound completely off.
>>4111374dubs are cringe but not as cringe as the people who use them
>>4112118dub is indeed cringe but not as cringe as dub haters
>>4111374>You will find more active discussion on RPGcodex, RPGhq, and Kiwi Farms.you will also find more mentally ill people you wouldn't want to talk to. In fact 100% of the population
>>4112429Fortunately, I don’t need to go to the RPG codex to interact with mentally ill RPG codex users. In their generosity, they come here and share their time with us.
>>4112118please do not hurt the dubfag's feefees, they are a very sensitive bunch
>>4078569
>>4124183
>>4057812haha...
>>4057812how the fuck is this still up, are jannies on a vacay?not mad, I actually love rean spam
>>4111374sorry but Ban's eng VA did a great job
>>4090927haha i can't wait to run around edith + 2 new districts AGAIN
>2026>haven't played trails since 2020 >thank you shitposting frenzy>don't come back since rean isn't number one>back to 2026>on X browsing browning shit>find this>https://x.com/sd36011169/status/2113831939606183950What the fuck did this bitch do to chad coldsteel
>>4139575>What the fuck did this bitch do to chad coldsteelAurelia hasn't done anything to Rean. Only thing that happened was in CS3 when she got in the hot tub with the girls and claimed she could make Rean hers.In a memory door short VN in Reverie, Rean's family was visiting a hot springs in Longlai (friends of the Schwarzers) when at midnight Rean decided to go for a walk into the mountains. He got accosted by ninjas and fought a new secret ELOB disciple called Shizuna, who wields a demonic magick sword and knows an exclusive branch of the ELOB called the Zeroth blade or something like that. She breaks Rean's mass produced tachi in two, tells Rean that she is working for the Calvardian government and that this is a restricted area, and then Rean leaves without a fuss. 4chan Trails fans memed for a couple years that Shizuna had "beaten" Rean. The Kai no Kiseki animated OP teased a Rean vs Shizuna rematch, but it never happened and Shizuna is off somewhere else by the climax. So it's a vs subplot (or imagined) subplot that went nowhere. Neither Rean nor Shizuna care in universe. Some people think he will get a new magic sword called Laevatain in the next game, but it seems like grasping at straws like the "Olivier/Elise/Jusis will become the 7th Awakener" speculation during the CS era where all of the popular answers were wrong.
Haha...
>>4139588Anelace could beat them both of course
