4th for best mommy

Someone use the high-res achievement art for next /fg/

Thank you Shamrock

Where's everyone getting the high res achievement art from?

If there's something I find absolutely irresistible about this entire series, it's how talking to random NPCs may foreshadow upcoming quests or even story event before you contact them. Like the Gnosis victims suddenly getting better at what they're doing after suffering a loss in the previous chapter in Zero, or just now in Ao's missing umbrella quest Mei Lin and Roy being out in the streets with bags of bread

>Undub's already out
And you guys were acting as if this was going to take forever.

The fandom is strong in this one.

Because people worked on it before the game even released.

So?

Are lines characters say in combat and maybe on the field subbed?

Field lines are subbed, combat text is but specific things like battle grunts and lines during s crafts aren't

Is it a simple drag and drop?

Yeah like in most cases.

...

yes

Pre-order her game and give her back her Crossbell.

>If there's something I find absolutely irresistible about this entire series, it's how talking to random NPCs may foreshadow upcoming quests or even story event before you contact them.


And playing the games again lets you pick subtle hints about events that will happen in later games.

I can bitch about combat balancing in cold steel but I have no bad things to say about the world building in the games.

Playing them with turbo is like eating the most well cooked and tasty steak in the world as if you have to go somewhere in 10 seconds from now. Nah dude, you gotta chew that meat and enjoy its texture and feel in your mouth.

They're so good.

Nice. I guess I'll be picking it up and playing it this weekend.

And then I'll come here to complain about how grating some of the Japanese voices are.

>tumblr art
fuck off xshill

...

Has anyone ever had a good explanation for why tumblr art has a distinctive style to it?

It's from the artist's Pixiv gallery

No, let me get this sorted out:
-Rean is so generic
-Towa sounds worse than Kugimiya
-Jusis sounds like a little boy
-Laura has less dignified voice
-Fie's acting is too flat even for an emotionless character

>"I have to think something to shitpost about while I'm downloading CS"
>"tumblr aaaaart!"

It's not even from there.

>Capable of running on anything from toasters to high-end machines
>Major graphical improvements with a launcher that makes it easy to find the right settings for your machine
>Updated voicework
>Literally cheaper than the console version was at release
Are we ready to accept xseed as our lord and savior yet? They have more than done this series justice.

>xseed
I think you mean Durante. He's the one responsible for this port.

That's because of durante.

Watch out, you'll wake the haters up with that much greentexting

It must not be that distinctive if you're saying that about something from pixiv.

They made Jap Jusis sound like a little boy? How awful.

>t. Seraphna

I'm sure he did all those things on his own time without consulting them.

Holy shit Rean can talk.

Isn't that like saying "this restaurant isn't responsible for the quality of food, their chef did all of the work"
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, he doesn't sound anywhere that young.

Pretty much. XSEED knows jack shit about porting.

He sounds like typical bishounen to me. The original went in a different direction than the dub, but both VA fits him desu.

Just like you know jack shit about business.

>all those new people who will hate Machias with vitriol because of his attitude at the start of CS1
Hoo boy, this isn't going to be a very pleasant sight to my eyes.

I share the same general complaint about wanting undub for TOCS, but I still love the Jusis and Duvalie VA.

Cracked game and it crashes on startup if you block its access to the internet, what a joke.
GOG it is.

Which of my settings is causing this blurriness? I'm playing on a laptop more toward the toaster end so I don't want to go much higher than necessary.

Not really. Durante is literally responsible for the port. He doesn't work for xseed. He's just an autist that fixes shitty PC ports. Xseed themselves have mentioned before that CS1 and 2 PC ports are outsourced and they can't really talk about it much. Xseed did jack shit in this case. If NISA got Durante to fix their shit, would you praise NISA or Durante? I'd choose the latter desu

No it's more like going into a restaurant and praising their steamed clams even though it's a crusty burger cooked across the street.

Looks like what I had when I played it on console settings on my laptop. I switched it down to portable and it works and looks fine now

Should I use jap voices?

That's why they don't port anything themselves. Sara's their only programmer and she doesn't do any console-to-PC ports yet, just grabbing/recreating certain features and content when possible.

It's a weird rendering issue (looks like something to do with LOD/depth of field) which Durante's working to fix right now.

>Duvalie VA
Probably my biggest favourite amongst the whole English cast, she fucking nailed it.

Let's hope that her idol gets a good voice too.

>Cold Steel at $36 bucks is slaughtering Tales of Berseria at $30 in the top sellers
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Works for me :^)

>If NISA got Durante to fix their shit, would you praise NISA or Durante? I'd choose the latter desu
In this case it'd be more like if durante did all of their work for them and didn't manage to melt your PC with the port. Of course you'd praise durante and not NISA.

>want to play with japanese voices
>genuinely love english dub on this when i usually hate them

What do I do?

Arianrhod needs someone that can pull off a stern but motherly voice well.

>new game is selling better than an older game which was already on sale a couple of times
I'm shocked

According to the shitty forum posts about this issue it's MSAA. It needs to be turned off. And then the game looks like shit.

>he doesn't work for xseed
Except for how he's literally working for them when he did this and is still literally working for them on patching. Companies bringing in specialists to handle things they're not equipped for is standard practice everywhere. That's still a business decision, and those specialists still have to get approval for everything they do.

Hiring a freelancer isn't the same as employing someone.

It's dub only. Unless someone made an undub already.

He deserved it anyway. He's a son of the governor who lived a privileged life in the capital. He doesn't have any rights to be angry at nobles.

>inb4 muh cousin
Chads exist no matter what

He's freelance though. You still shouldn't be praising xseed for shit they didn't do.

(You)

Berseria is awful, I mean, the Tales series always was B tier JRPGs but that one in particular managed to be even worse

If I hire some artist to draw furry porn of my fursona does that mean I own the artist?

How bad is the pc port?
Can I actually play with the mouse and keyboard or no?

He helped out some other company as well. It's not the first time he's dealing with ports and is asked to do their work for them. I don't understand why you're so bent on giving XSeed all the credit.

Reans new lines are really well voiced.

Looks absolutely amazing too.

Excited to give this a shot.

No, but if it's a property you own then you do own the work they did that you paid for and approved.

To be fair, you kind of do if you want the level 80 bonuses for CS2 when it comes out.

Oh so because I own it, I made it?

Zestiria was worse honestly. The story felt like it was taking a backseat through the whole thing.

I don't recall giving them all the credit. Feel free to point to where I did. On the other hand, there are people saying they deserve none of the credit, which is far more disingenuous.
I don't recall saying that either. Feel free to point to where I did.

>they'll release CS2 before Zero
>people will have no idea who the fuck Lloyd and Rixia are

Probably fine.

Someone post that comic with the "I made it"

They already did that

thanks user

I'd rather they release CS2 anyway since we at least have the decent leaked translation for Zero.

...

There's nothing wrong with that. Think of it like those fast-forward prologue.

Will Rixia ever pierce Ilya with her big, long, thick sword?

You know that's a different person, right? And even they didn't say Xseed deserves all the credit.

don't be a race traitor.

>t. Seraphna

Just finished playing through Garrelia fortress and honestly, coming out of playing Ao I can understand the hype connecting this bit of the story together. My first time around I had no god damned clue what was going on, I don't know, but I find this more enjoyable so far.

I mean flash forward.

"decent"

Now what will trolls complain about
>its too expensive
>liberal translation
>i never liked cold steel anyway

>You know that's a different person, right?
Then why did you even respond to me?
>And even they didn't say Xseed deserves all the credit.
>talks about the port like it's done by xseed

>i never liked cold steel anyway
This

This your first day on an anonymous website?

Rean sucks.

The models and animations are awful. Looks like a PS1 game.

Sure literal translations suck but it's the full game and it's accurate.

I guess it's semi decent, aside from the occasional *flap flap* moments it's not too bad.

Those complaints are true though.

>mfw just bought CS and PUBG even though I'm still playing Zero and didn't even try the games I got in the last sale

Welcome to PC gaming. The only game I bought last Steam sale was FFX HD and I didn't even finish half of it yet.
