Expedition 33 was 45. This looks like it could run on a ps2 and its going to be what, 3 or 4 of this particular story?

They smoking dikks, I guess it is a large segment of gamers willing to spend 200-300 for getting the full story for these but naw,
At least say PS3 damn:russ::russ:

you right, that was cap. more in line with ps4,but still I just don't get the appeal of these games. A lot of the same jrpg tropes people shyt on other games for gets praised with them.
Have you played the Sky trilogy and Crossbell duology? Those JRPG tropes are overridden and really make the Cold Steel Saga extremely mediocore. Sky & Crossbell are all good Sky SC or Azure being the two best entries in the series and are great. 3rd and Zero is very good. FC is 100% build up for SC tho

Which ones did you play? Like I said above, if you only played Cold Steel, you basically played the worst part of the series.

This game is a masterpiece. It's better if you played the original Trails in the Sky though since you know things to look for and pay attention to.

The game is literally them just attaching the modern presentation and battle mechanics to Sky. They did tone down the more liberal translations Estelle had but beyond that it's all one could ask for.

It definitely deserves the 90/100 reception it's getting and deserves to be in GOTY conversation except for the fact that it's a remake. I see why it's the highest rated game in the series.

The only real flaw is this is a lower stakes introduction to the series vs it being higher stakes. If you played the original you know to expect that.

Well, I would call SC a masterpiece. I like FC, but considering that it purely is a build-up game for SC. I feel like the ratings for like you said are familiar with the original and why they are rating high of it. Thinking of how they will remake SC coming off of this rather then evaluating the game on its own merit.

I had some doubts about the remake but I have never been so happy to have been wrong. I am a big fan of the original and the love and care they put into this game shows. If this were an original game it would be the best RPG this year arguably but I will say it's the best RPG remake I have played to retain the vibe of the OG while adding so much is no small feat. I think it's a must buy, imo.

SC is a better game than Sky but at the same time this game is elevated by the production values here. This is a case where the remake is both a better game than the original and makes the entire experience better than ever.

When the SC remake is released it will quickly be the best game in the series. It's unfair to call this game build up for SC because this is the introduction to everything.

I will say this. It also speaks to the strength of the original game too in the sense it's like an old house with really good bones.

Very impressed how well they translated the older version into the remake. Does a good job of keeping the same atmosphere as the original.

Josette gave me that work :francis:
yep I don’t remember her being that difficult in the original though it’s been a while since I’ve played it. The trick was to focus almost every attack on her instead of the henchmen. Also spamming SP attacks when you can on her or on her and as many of the henchmen as you can when using an area attack.

Cold steel was pretty mediocre imo and this is some one who loved the sky series and thought it was one of the best RPGs I played. Can’t guarantee you’d like this one but it’s better than cold steel and the original was also better than cold steel imo.
