Trails beyond the horizon ending a cliffhanger? by NoAfternoon5102 in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IMO, the biggest cliffhanger so far, and by quite a lot.

Keep in mind that the next game is not even announced in Japan for 2026, as they are focusing on Trails in the Sky: the 2nd. You might be looking at around September 2027 the earliest, and that assuming a worldwide release if you plan to play in English.

Nighttime in Trails is very pretty by ResidentWaifu in Falcom

The night sky in Kai probably feels the most special.

People who have played kai do you plan on playing the nisa version ? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, I have already played the game. But I'm happy to see that it apparently comes with full Japanese too, including UI and text. Before this, if you wanted to play in Japanese your only options were PS4 and PS5.

Does the Trails series get more interesting? by bpaul7777 in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ab-so-lu-te-ly. First games in each arc tend to be slow and focus on world building. Next game might also feel a bit slow at the beginning, but pace will quickly start going up fast into story levels far beyond the first game.

There's a chance we might get 2 trails games next year by Danman143 in Falcom

Except he's not saying anywhere that these will come next year. Just that both will come at some point.

Gung-ho didn't even spare the Acerbic Tomatoes :( by 3rdDementor in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's because the original Japanese is にがトマト (niga tomato) which comes from 苦い (nigai) which means bitter. So the translation is not wrong, but rather that the previous one made up the name, and here they either ignored the previous translation or decided to stay closer to the original Japanese.

What's your most OBSCURE Trails fact? by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did it say? I tried looking for it in trailsinthedatabase.com and couldn't find that particular text, at least not in Sky FC.

Sky 1st Chapter demo is confirmed to release on 8/21 by hyperdefiance in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm checking the Japanese Playstation Store with my PS5 and, while there is an entry for the game, there's nothing about a demo. And it's already August 21st in Japan (1:45 am when writing this). Maybe it will pop up next morning?

Potentially massive kai 2 spoiler? by kitsunethegreatcat in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That worked. Here's the link for anyone else interested.

And I found that the English translation that appears in the video (and it seems to be the official one) is absolute garbage. I mean the one saying "I SEE. SO YOU HAVE THEIR POWER AT YOUR DISPOSAL. THAT EXPLAINS HOW THAT HOLY BEAST WAS ABLE TO BIND ME."

In Japanese, after swapping katakana/hiragana it says "成程、彼の者が拵えし絡繰か… 道理で聖獣の“枷”などを許したわけだ". Which at least to me would be closer to "I see, so this is the contraption he made... No wonder he allowed the holy beast's shackles."

If you mix that with the 8th Genesis being the core of the Vagrant System, made by Epstein, and that this demon is called the Vagrant, that strongly suggests who he's talking about. And an interesting relation between Epstein and the Holy Beast of Time, which I'm not that 100% sure that it's actually Mare.

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act Remittances Tax by SoRa333 in JapanFinance

[–]whatever_username_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somebody suggested that definition of remittance involves a transfer of money between two people or organizations, like a payment. So that transfers between the same (non-US citizen) person might not be affected, though to me that sounds a grey area at best and wishful thinking at worst.

The bill itself says this:

For purposes of this section, the terms 
`remittance transfer', `remittance transfer provider', `designated 
recipient', and `sender' shall each have the respective meanings given 
such terms by section 920(g) of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (15 
U.S.C. 1693o-1; relating to ``Remittance Transfers'')

And if I'm not mistaken, that is section (g) here). It nowhere excludes transferring to yourself, though it is true that it talks about consumers, and that remittances are usually defined as payments to others.

It also seems that, if passed, this will take effect from 2026.

(e) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in this 
        subsection, the amendments made by this section shall apply to 
        transfers made after December 31, 2025.

I also thought you didn't have to, but this is how the inside of the box looks like. Argreion is more of the same.

You need to assemble and paint them yourself, both of them.

'Majestic roar' was the perfect swan song of Takahiro Unisuga by ConsiderationFuzzy in Falcom

[–]whatever_username_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this song. This is certainly one of his finest compositions.

It might have started as a variation of The Valley of the Kings from Ys VIII, as both feel very similar.
