How long did it take you to finish the game? Is it a pretty good length?Ratrat said:
Also, does the gameplay feel dated or is the animation and graphics pretty good on the PSP?
Thanks.
Nice graphics with choppy frame-rate. As an rpg noob it took me about 40 hours with minimal grinding. The game is pretty easy, every battle can be restarted. Oh, and about 40% of the game is story sequences involving incest and cross dressing. And it has a cliff hanger ending.TheFLYINGManga_Ka said:

I'm not quite sure I'd sum it up like this. :V There's a bit more to it than that, needless to say.
Joshua can be very pretty tho~
(and this makes him want to jump off a cliff)
First Chapter (what we're getting today) does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, though. FC and Second Chapter were originally going to be one game, but Falcom split it in two to avoid having to trim features and events. SC ended up being mindfuckingly huge, too.
fffuuuuuu that's where I ordered my LE too!Gunloc said:At least you'll probably get to play it this week. Canada Post deliveries have been hella slow lately, so all my recent orders from videogamesplus have been a week+. I probably won't get my copy until next week.
Oh well, the version I'll actually be playing will be the PSN one because my main PSP is a Go, so not like it's that big a deal at the end of the day. Still want that shiny, shiny box though.
Speaking of which, come on update.

While I'm super stoked the finally playing these games in English, there is a downside; old UMD tech. I've read others mention that the TitS UMDs aren't as well optimized, in terms of loading, compared to the later UMD productions Falcom made with the Ys series.
I may just have to double dip and get the PSN version for optimal loading.

Hmm, that's good to hear from both of you (Bebpo & Aeana). I'll just wait to try my UMD copy out before I double dip.
Also, I've been spoiled by S-E's recent releases with the data install.

The PSN version is now available straight up from the storefront. Go go go, bitches. I'd do it myself but I'm going to tough out the wait for my LE preorder (which should be here by tomorrow at the latest; the only annoyance then would be that I can't pick it up 'till 5PM or so due to work).
Also, with a bit of help from yours truly, the Hardcore Gaming 101 article has been just about scrubbed free of spoilers; the brief descriptions for FC and SC talk a little about what happens at the end of FC, but in the vaguest terms possible. It should be safe to remove HG101 from the "warning list" in the OP now.

Won't be getting mine till Thurs. Almost tempted to cancel my LE and buy off PSN, but I know I would regret it in the end.

Speaking of the LE, for those who ordered through Amazon, has your order even begun the shipping process yet? I can still fully alter my order, usually by this time with s new release, they'd have charged my card and I wouldn't be able to change anything. Hmm...

Amazon says my LE is Shipping Soon. I think I can wait for it to arrive; I should beat Radiant Historia first anyways.

Launch trailer.
Been seriously thinking about passing on PE3 for now and pick this one instead.

Well RPGFan put a review up, for the people who're actually interested in reviews.

That's an awesome theme, forgive me if I'm wrong but is it not from the second Sora no Kiseki title?Paracelsus said:

It was first used in First Chapter; Second Chapter remixes it writ large, complete with vocals in one version, and uses it to blow the roof off your house.

'Trails in the Sky is not a game in which the gameplay shines, but rather the story and characters.' lol.
Does it make me retarded that such a quote doesnt perturb me?
I kinda want to wait for a sale but i also want some delicious RPG action. Maybe i should get hexyz force?

Well, the better this does, the higher chance we have of seeing everything else come over (and if it really does well, the faster other stuff can come over), so keep that in mind. I still feel sort of bad asking people to take the plunge without a demo, but the reviews so far should be telling.

Don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to this game, and i do have some time right now in between games so I might pick it up. I understand the sentiment when it comes to bringing more games over. YS 7 is one of my favorite games this entire gen across all platforms so I would love to see more of the YS games. I much prefer the 7 format to Oath, and i definately passed on 1/2, but yeah, i would be willing to bite on ys 6, and im assuming the TiTs games only get better as well.
I should be working on my backlog mind you

Backlogs can be daunting, and lots of my newer purchases go to the bottom of the list, but I'm moving TitS right to the front of the line and playing it immediately.Onion_Relish said:Don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to this game, and i do have some time right now in between games so I might pick it up.

This series can really use as much support as RPG fans can muster, and since it's such a story intense series, I'd like to stay as up to date with the narrative as possible.

Gamespot has a video interview with Jess from XSEED posted all about Trails. It runs through some general menu and battle functions, among other things.
FYI: The video does show a boss battle towards the end, so beware if you are trying to avoid spoilers. (Though the boss seems like a random entity though, so I don't think it's too spoilerific.)

I didn't care much for Hexyz Force personally. All the battles seem to drag on, and there's quite a lot of them. I didn't get very far before I got bored and quit.

1. Yes, 40-50 hours seems to be the norm. Much more if you're a completionist.
2. There are no random encounters, so you really control how much battling you do, but the battle system is fun and robust. The main focus of the game is more on the storyline and characters though.
Gunloc said:
This is me as well. Saying my backlog is huge is an understatement. I have games I haven't played since the PS1 era. Right now I am playing Harmony of Dissonance for the first time. I've just finally defeated DQ V (haven't even started DQ VI or Radiant Historia yet).
However, like yourself, I plan to put TiTS ahead of the others as I've really been wanting to play this for awhile now. Well, at least I am putting it forward after I defeat HoD.
WTF
Just called my local GS and the store manager said the game isnt shipping until Friday and that they probably wont get it until next week.
I know I just indicated I wouldnt start it until I finished HoD, but I am thinking I should finish it by Friday. Why the hell is their shipment so late?

My only guess is that GS has low faith in the game and didn't order faster shipping from the distribution warehouse.Hobbun said:
Even Amazon didn't begin shipping until today. I should have my copy on Friday as I reverted my order back to two day shipping.

Sounds good.Gunloc said:
The download size on PSN is bigger than I expected. Looks like there's tons of content in this.
I saw a article posted on GameFAQs how XSeed spent over 9 months localizing just this first part of the trilogy, which is why they didn't localize and release the entire thing at once.
I really hope that XSeed does bring the rest of it over. Even though they say they would, it's still possible that they won't depending on how well this first one sells.

Yeah, that would totally suck if we didnt get at least the trilogy, considering it is all one epic story from what I hear.
However, I want my cake and eat, I also want the ones past the trilogy, as they are also related.

Oh yeaaah...wait Dissidia, Pokemone, DragonAge2, Gods Eater....fuck backlog hell.

Poor Square Enix. Neogaf is now to blame for their loss of sales on 3rd Birthday and Dissidia because I picked this up instead due to the amount of love from the contributors of this thread and the convincing of a few select members. (Thanks for the input you know who you were =D)
Standard edition is on it's way here and should arrive tomorrow. As per usual I'm trusting GAF on this one, but I'm not worried because the board never seems to let me down. You've brought me Valkyria, Demon Souls, 999 to just mention a few over the course of the last years and I hope I can say the same for the Trails series.
I will still pick up 3rd Birthday if I can manage to get through PE2 and Dissida will be purchased probably with a price break.
P.S. I've already fallen in love with Sliver Will. Thanks for posting that track.
