So what is vrpgs thoughts on trails and rean memes? I honestly love sky and hate cold steel, but I am a huge old fag and my heart droped like a stone when I first heard I missed an event so massive. At the time I really didn't have any free time to play games, and hadn't gotten around to playing sky. My actual favorite jrpg is still dewprism, but I consider sky FC and SC wholely worth the journey.
>>3066133Starting Cold Steel soon, fairly sure I will enjoy it. Previous trails games rank at the top of the JRPG list. (They are the best.)
>>3066133Trails in the sky is a 6/10 game series overrated by those who think one piece is still good after the time skip. I could go into detail about how the combat is boring, the forced party members are annoying and the story b tier anime garbage but its all been explained before, and better in other threads. Just play chrono trigger since it does everything trails does but better. or xenogears.Better yet play ys (not the new ones) or brandish since those are the actually good falcom games.
>>3066185Trails is better than Chrono Trigger and Xenogears. It is simply modern and so people still worship old Gods (the rear view mirror.)
>>3066280>trails is modernanon...
>>3066283The persistence gives it that attribute. It is not viewed as separate (instinctually, emotionally.)
>>3066185>Trails in the sky is a 6/10 game series overrated by those who think one piece is still good after the time skip. amazing, you think I would even watch one piece. the fact that you watch one of the faggot 3 really ruins any argument you could make after that.You're comparing a dewprism chad to a onepiss nigger>play Ys. I, II, IV, and origin are the only ones I played and probably ever will play.
>>3066283I'd consider any RPG where you can see monsters on the map to be modern even if they came out in 1985
>>3066280No, everything about CT is way more fun and intuitive than Trails, except maybe not being able to see enemy HP without an accessoryIn CT, you can have whoever you want in your party by the endIn Trails SC you're stuck with Estelle and Joshua at the endIn CT the map opens up to you graduallyIn trails you are constantly kept on rails and by the time the map does open up you're given a massive handicap (no magic)>>3066295>You're comparing a dewprism chad to a onepiss niggerYes if you can't see the similarities to trails and Shonen shit you're retarded. it's the same garbage where you have a huge secret society and big mysteries that are dangled in front of the viewer for decades on end but never go anywhere
>>3066185The musical movie is pretty good honestly
>>3066185>Xenogearsjust slam dunked your opinion into the trash
>>3066779>arbitrary thing in CT that's not in trails>this makes a game betterMany such cases. I'm sure you could do this forever. Shall I do it in reverse? No, it would be similarly worthless.
>>3066280>Trails is better than Chrono Trigger and XenogearsCaptcha really should be an IQ test.

>>3066133Sky - Crossbell is the best writing and world building video games have to offer. Cold steel is… ok at best

>>3066280I really never understood peoples hard ons for chrono trigger, I've tried to play it multiple times but bounced off it after a couple hours every time.Always seemed like you'd have to have played it as a kid to like it.
>>3067093They’re not arbitrary things. They’re big parts of what makes chrono trigger fun to play.
Trails is indeed 6/10, from Cold Steel on even worse.CT is also overrated af, and to be fair, it has no character customization, which makes it inferior to Trails in that regard. Xenogears is a cult classic with sadly botched gameplay. Storywise it will never be surpassed though. Fuck you all.
>>3068388litterally modern japan
>>3066280>Trails is better than Chrono Trigger and Xenogears. lmao cultist
>>3066779>y-youre a shonentheres basically nothing shonen about sky at all, yet here you are seething about it. go cry a river. >>3068221though I dont expect any different I was hoping more about reminiscing about the raid rather than critique of the series in general.
>>3068761Eh it's not really nostalgia in most cases. It's just the "Top JRPG you can name to appear credible."It's a dead piece of work at this point, but this sort of marketing position can last for a very long time.
>>3068761>>3073650it was an rpg with a moderately unique identity. I never played it because I wasnt into the whole dragon quest look.
