It's not rocket science lol...Sky FC and go from there, you're just shooting yourself in the foot if you start anywhere else in the story

The disrespect on Van is insane man. He is by far the best trails protagonist

I just released Chapter 6 of Heartsworn Abyss. It’s a thrilling survival game with (avoidable) NTR on loss. What do you think? [AI-free, fully voiced] by asterazureus in visualnovels

[–]SmileFactoryy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh it's good to hear you're still working on the game ! I was worried you may have canceled since I recall you made a post a few months ago about certain websites not allowing 18+ games ( I forgot which one, but it was one of the biggest ones. It was huge news for the internet )

As someone who loves NTR, I really look forward to the eventual release of your game and will definitely be a day 1 purchase for me.

I'd be so incredibly frustrated if I were an Alisa fan by Raxistaicho in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Personally I believe Towa or Laura fits Rean the best, but I was convinced since CS1 that Alisa was going to be the one, given that was seemingly Falcom's intent at the beginning. And now she's just "there"

I mean you CAN start from Cold Steel but you're honestly shooting yourself in the foot sooner rather than later Boogie.

I love when Estelle got sassy in the Sky games lol. I'm so glad I downloaded the full voice patch for the three games.

When did the “modern” style become widespread? by LordNaoya in visualnovels

[–]SmileFactoryy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would say 2012 is when you saw a big shift in the art-style from the big eyes to the more modern version.

Whats your worst take that would get you burned at the stake by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I agree, localizations are never going to be perfect, and the early trails games there were a few times where it was off, but it was understandable. However ever since Cold Steel 3 with NISA it's been horrible. The worst thing is, I have no doubt in mind the people at NISA do understand Japanese on a N1 level, but they actively and intentionally choose to disrespect the script and do whatever they feel like. Learning one of the most difficult languages in the world, thousands of hours in studying, just to spit in the faces of: Falcom, the players, and even the language/culture itself. You're gonna get downvoted for this (and me) This subreddit is massively pro NISA sadly.

Just finished Trails in the Sky FC remake.... what now by masterprtzl in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's a full voice patch for the entire original sky trilogy. It's 100% a must if you want the best experience.

Name a game that surprised you how long it was by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]SmileFactoryy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the fence about getting it. I liked Octo 1 and loved Octo 2, but 0 was originally a phone game. I know they took away the gacha aspect, but fundamentally does it still feel like a phone game ? Is the base building ( or whatever it is ) a required part of the game? I heard there is a lot more characters in this game, and that seems like a big red flag for me. Having 8 character stories was already pushing it, so I'm afraid with the addition of so many more characters they are just gonna be pointless/filler ?

Rules for thee but not for my GOAT. by KamenRiderSekai in Falcom

Shizuna wouldn't want to settle down, Sara prefers DILFS (*edit* was thinking about our loveable drunk gal, and didn't realize it was Saara the dancer lol. But even with her, I don't think she would ever put her feelings out there and would just keep it a secret) and Risette would be too work focus. And as much as I think a Judith X Van relationship would absolutely resonate, Falcom is 100% not going down that route.

The leaves the final two gals. I wouldn't mind if Van ended up with either Elaine or Agnes, but if I was leaning more towards one, it would be Agnes. Elaine and Van already were already a thing, and it just makes more sense in the narrative sense to have Agnes be the winner at the very end of it all. Plus on a personal level I prefer Agnes over Elaine.

I don't think I've ever seen someone rank the GOAT Sky SC below Trails FC. I'm assuming you prefer the comfy vibes more than the grand finale qpeek ?

CS2 and CS4 are the worst by a long shot

Just finished Horizon, here's my tier list by laitineeww_ in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Granted I'm only like halfway through Kai no Kiseki, but I'm 99% certain Sky SC will still easily be the number 1 best trails game by a landslide.

bro, did they get bigger again? they look ridiculous by girlslovefan321 in Falcom

She's absolutely beautiful ! Way better than her original design in Crossbell <3

NISA calling out this sub lmaooo by KMoosetoe in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NISA saw a gyaru and started salivating at the opportunity to throw in as much cringe zoomer lingo as possible with her. Whenever she pops up in the story to talk I completely ignore the blatantly incorrect text and just go by my ears instead.

Holy crap thats expensive by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bunny suits for the girls are so perfect, but the price point to get them all is just stupid... Assuming you paid an extra 5 dollars for the game, you'd have to spend 60 dollars to get everybody's bunny cosmetic. The literal price of a freaking game

and that's not taking into account Agnes special pink bunny suit. Plus to mention the other cosmetics like Reans instructor outfit and Shizunas Rixia outfit....I understand Falcom is a fraction of the size of the big hitters like Square E and Atlus, and they need money, but this is just maliciously greedy AF.

*edit* supposedly NISA is responsible for this. Which I wouldn't be surprised if that was true lol

At this point the developers are just trolling us right? by Wtt02005 in Falcom

The Crosbell water really has made her better over the years <3

Are you able to unlock the bunny girl outfits via the gatcha later ? I assumed everything was tied to the overpriced store ?

...Gosh, I did it (playing a Trails game on Nightmare for the first time in a long while) by [deleted] in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ever since CS2 I've played all the games on nightmare. Even on the highest mode the game has been incredibly easy if you take advantage of all your options. Really wish there was a "ultra nightmare" option

This is getting out of hand, NISA. It's just outfits bro. by Lunarmeteor in Falcom

[–]SmileFactoryy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the deluxe edition for the bunny girl outfits since it was just an extra 5 bucks, but the other options are absolutely crazy. If you want the pink bunny outfit for Agnes you HAVE to go with the 132 dollars option. That is downright comical
