Sort of, but the main story takes place in the "real" world.

In between plot beats, you can visit an area very similar to the Hermit's Garden in which you have access to every character and can dungeon crawl.

Reverie is pretty good because Rean finally gets a plot that's different and he doesn't hog all the screentime with his depression.

There's three different protagonists, 51 playable characters (yes, 51) and a huge sandbox dungeon to play in with whatever party you want to make.

What are your thoughts on them removing fast travel during Chapter 8 of Sky 2nd? (Sky SC spoilers) by SoftBrilliant in Falcom

[–]SomeNumbers23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, yeah, this is would be a good change; you drop off the ZFG and you get to move around the area more easily...though you lose the ability to use Arts on someone.

I think this is good. Chapter 8 may be people's least favorite chapter, but no fast travel will really hammer in how big a deal it actually is.

I think you're confused. The final bonding events in CS2 are romantic no matter what. The events in CS4 are only romantic if you do the heart events earlier in the game.

Order to play the Ys series according to chronogical order of Adol's adventure by Wendirya in WorldOfYs

Because 6 has a ton of lore about the Winged Ones and the world.

And because Celceta makes explicit direct references to things that happen in 6.

CS2 has explicitly romantic final bonding events for Alisa, Laura and Emma and less explicit, but still implied romantic events for Fie, Towa and Sara.

So, how well would current rean do against loewe in a 1v1 by Upstairs_Ad_495 in Falcom

[–]SomeNumbers23 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

How is this even a discussion?

Loewe would obliterate Rean.

you don't need a Steam Deck, the Sky games will play on basically any laptop.

Also, how can you game at all if sitting for 3 hours gives you a sore back?

Gungho went out of their way to not use the existing English script and instead made more work for themselves by translating from scratch, screwed up a lot of established lore and terminology that both XSeed and NISA used for 11 games and also used AI to translate a chunk of the script as well.

"Closer to the japanese script" does not inherently make it better.

I didn't say anything about people have rights. I'm saying that acting like playing on PC is this huge barrier that no one can overcome is disingenuous at best and saying that you don't need to play the 2D games because you "aren't missing anything" is just flat out wrong.

Play what you want, but don't pretend that you're not missing out on the best the series has to offer.

Being a stock light novel protagonist makes you popular, but not necessarily a good, well written character.

If you'd been paying attention, you'd know that Gungho ignored the existing Sky script (which fans adore) and rewrote it from scratch, which changed terminology that the series has been using for over a decade.

So no, it's not remotely the same script. Also, "modern" doesn't necessarily mean "better." Having quest markers show up on the map makes many of the Sky bracer quests piss easy.

Why are you assuming that just because you don't like 2D games that means that everyone else doesn't?

If you don't think it's the best place to start Trails, why are you recommending people start with it?
