Excellent. I held off on buying it on PS4 this year, so I'll just wait for the Switch release. Been a while since I played the first two games though, I think I've forgotten most of the finer story details by now.
This is actually a second trilogy, right?
Wasn't there a Legend of Heroes trilogy on the PSP or whatever?
I actually have not played any of the Trials of Cold Steel games because I've been wanting to go back and finish the first trilogy first but that will probably never happen at this point, if I'm being honest with myself. Do you know if they are related story-wise?

So, yes.
All 9 games are related (Trails in sky 1-3, Trails of Azure and Zero, Cold Steel 1-4). Sky takes place first, and Azure/Zero take place around the time of Cold Steel 1/2. All the games are in the same world.
You do not need to have played any of the other series to understand what's going on, but the Cold Steel games will reference characters and events here and there that you won't know about. Sky is the beginning so they reference nothing you don't know. I think Crossbell is mostly silent on that issue too.
Cold Steel 1 and 2 have mostly small references. Cold Steel 3 tries actually start tying both prior series together. Again, you'll be fine if you don't know what happened, the game will tell you what you need to know, but you'll definitely wonder who people are a bit and why they're important.
I'd advise doing Cold Steel in order, and you'll be more or less good to go. Starting with CS3 will definitely make you very confused.

It will probably sell reasonably well...but I can also see it ending up as a Spirits Within-level miscalculation too. Probably not. I don't know.
They could've done it like Dragon Quest 7 went from early 3D/sprites to DQ8-level 3D on 3DS and had it finished and thoroughly enjoyable in a couple years. Instead they're kind of going nuts.
Oh man, The Spirits Within!
I was working a retail job and we all had an unlimited membership for the cinema.
Me and one the lads weren't working Friday, so we went to see Zoolander and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in the morning, met other mates and saw Spirits Within and Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.
The first half of the day was full of laughter, the second was full of disappointment at missed opportunities.
I hope the rumoured Resident Evil 3 remake is better than Tim Burton's effort. What a let down.

That's a good way to put it, a missed opportunity.
People associate computer generated graphics with more kid oriented things, or at least a more action-packed fun story. People associate Final Fantasy with...fantasy, and magic and weapons, and a plucky ragtag group out to save the world. I don't know whose idea it was to basically make
Action scenes where gunfire does nothing! Rinse and repeat.
I don't think there were enough CG movies at the time to associate with kid friendly fare in the same way we would now, if some different decisions were taken, we could be looking at a different environment, like anime.
Despite what some corners of the internet tell us, anime is a medium, not a genre. I don't necessarily think we need CG quiet dramas, but more variety would be nice.
EDIT: spoilers on a twenty year old movie? Commendable.
My spoilers for that movie? It was a bit shit.

I know I'm really late on this one, but Freedom Planet is very very good. Fun story, great characters, and very sonic the hedgehogie without the horrible stuff.
Some of the bosses are a bit too hard at times. :?

On this I'll say, without contradicting you, that the boss design frequently suffers from "single acceptable response" design, where avoiding taking damage and inflicting an acceptable amount of damage requires a very specific set of gestures out of you, and anything else will likely get you damaged and/or miss your opportunity to strike back. Once you discover the correct gesture the battle is trivial. It's just that that can take multiple attempts to establish, which requires a certain kind of mindset to tolerate.

Yea, I can see that. It wasn't really much of a complaint to be honest, because I had a great time with the bosses also. I just died at most of them a lot, like some of them a lot a lot.
Some of their attacks take a ton of damage from you. :bigfrown:

Oh, people mentioned the Trails series, now I am justified in my proselytizing about how it is my favoritest thing ever!
Or I can just link this video as the guy does a far better job of explaining just why the series is worth people's attention.
If you want to get in on the Trails series just jump in at Cold Steel 1. Trails in the Sky is insufferable, consistently doing the worst anime tropes every step of the way. Trails of Cold Steel, by contrast, is one of the best jurps i've ever played and i've played it about four times through now, on Vita then PC.
Yeah I've eyed the first cold steel on steam the last few sales. For some reason my brains feels weird about jrpgs on PC. It's just... It goes against tradition
ifixit now has Joy-Con drift repair kits, consisting of a replacement left or right Joy-Con joystick unit and the tools to replace for $20, or the joystick only for $15.
That's significantly more expensive than what you can get elsewhere. Most of that is pretty low quality, though, is the ifixit stuff more reliable?

I like to say that Freedom Planet's other half is mostly Rocket Night Adventures, which also featured a tough learning curve on bosses. Whats worse? is that the three characters are different enough that I had to die repeatedly coming up with different approaches each time. I'd spend as much time on the final boss as the stage itself I was so bad. But it is kind of refreshing compared to Sonic's mostly joke bosses that you could typically one-ring if nothing else, and you do have infinite continues at least on normal.
Very late to the party, but I'm finally playing Yoshi's Crafted World, and it's pretty good! And absolutely adorable. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy in an elementary school way.
Oh, there's a world called "Shadowville?" Aw, I can't wait to be all creeped out in a cute way. Hee hee!
OH GOD A SHRIEKING DOLL IS CHASING ME WITH AN AXE OH FUCK THERE'S MORE OF THEM THEY'RE BREAKING THROUGH THE WALLS AND SO FAST FUCK FUCK FUCK oh whew, they don't like light, I'll just hang out under this light bulb for a moment and throw an egg at this question cloud OH FUCK THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THEY'RE ALL AFTER ME WITH AXES NO LIGHT ANYWHERE RUN RUN FUCK FUCK FUCK
I grabbed the demo of Crafted World and it unsold me on it. It's got that "we're doing a sequel to Yoshi's Island" problem that Island DS and Island 2 had in that they just come off as inferior copies. This was a bit different with the crafted theme, but the 3DS version (the only one I could buy) doesn't really stick the landing on the graphics at all.
So I bought Captain Toad instead and that's been very fun.
I'm something like 2 chapters away from finishing Three Houses. Blue Lion route. The timer says something like 100 hours, geez.
Love the fuck out of the game, but so much of it is kind of a slog. I know exactly why the game timer is that long. Every month begins with a slow combing over of the school, talking to everyone, collecting all the dropped items, deciding how to spend the time. That can take about an hour or more if I take my time, but the small benefit is that this only has to be done once a month. Then comes the other weeks. About half way through the game, seminars stopped being worth it, because I have the funds and means to just shove gifts and food down everyone's gullet for max motivation. So the only thing worth doing is battles. 3 battles at a time, because the series has conditioned me to not even think of wasting this limited resource. Each battle has about a 5 minute setup, just making sure all items are up to snuff, checking jobs and mastered skills, and checking supports and resetting adjutants (the one really weak point in all of this, that adjutants don't properly save between fights so I'm constantly fiddling with it). Then back to the school which goes faster as it's just gift and food time. Then 3 more battles. The finally the monthly story battle. I don't hate doing any of it... but after 20 repetitions of it, I'm starting to feel it.
What's really getting to me though is the potential of having to do it again. Because after Ch.12, I knew I wanted to do at least one more playthrough. Because damn that was good. But man, having to do all that again, much less 3 more times for the other routes... If this game were just one route, one story, I'd be fuckin' satisifed and happy. Knowing there's more, though... It might not be something I do right away at least.

Does anyone "defensively buy" physical copies of games they MAY want to play? What i mean by defensively buying is purchasing the game now to prevent potential scarcity and scalping later. I prefer to have physical copies of games (summary: remove the dependence on servers being up, can be more easily transferred to other systems, friends houses, etc.) and now with many games getting the Limited Run treatment or having a short window of availability, I may be more inclined to do it. I've done this for a while with other systems since I had disposable income, but the Switch is getting so many releases.

Picked up the Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection. While only 4 is actually on the card, it's nice that at least Rogue isn't a code. You just have to download it from within the game through the eShop.

I imagine if all you want is to experience the other route's story all you'd need to do is set the difficulty to easy and only do quest and story missions well using renown to buy whatever else you needed.

Mostly for RPGs for new franchises and/or with low launch popularity/marketing, and/or an extreme vendor-exclusivity deal. That sort of thing is a perfect storm for "this will be expensive later". e.g. Ar Nosurge Vita was only ever sold physically as an LE through the NISA store and goes for like $200+ now.

I beat Dragon Quest for the first time in like 3 decades. Literally the last time I beat it, it was still called Dragon Warrior.
I'm deep into Dragon Quest 2 now, but fuck Tombola (the "Lottery" slots game).
Dragon Warrior II on the NES was brutal. I beat the game, but it killed my interest in the series for years after that. Since then, I've only played a little bit of Dragon Warrior VII for PS1 ("only" 30 hours or so) and completed Dragon Quest IV for DS. I'm really itching to dive back into the series, though.
Dragon Quest 2 had a big problem of NPCs not telling you what you needed to do. It was very exploration heavy, which at the time on NES, was par for the course. Only the vaguest of clues (such as how to find the mirror) and a lot of random searching (the actual command).
As a helpful hint, tombola in DQ2 is pretty useless. It's nothing compared to Treasures'n'Trapdoors from the DQ3 remake that gets put into DQ4-5-6

I haven't preemptively bought anything like that since the PS3 days, and those games I bought for my PS3? Turned into Half-Price Books still unopened.
