Really looking forward to it. I've been excitedly waiting to explore the Calvard Republic ever since Zin joined the party in Sky FC. Despite some of the valid criticisms that have been leveled towards this game, I have no doubt the wait will have been worth it for me. Also, Van seems like he'll likely become my favorite main protagonist of the series aside from Kevin. Spriggan seems like a great occupation to place the player in too.
Got some great months of gaming ahead of me.

Seems more like a weird mix of America and China/East Asia.
the place has even depressed salarymen
I've been enjoying Cold Steel 4, and just started the Finale chapter, but good lord the plot and cast feels a bit bloated. There were some scenes where it looked like a fucking army with all the Erebonian/Liberl/Crossbell characters together, and it felt silly
Still there were some good interactions and I'm interested to see how this ends

Tell me you haven't played Trails Into Reverie without telling me you haven't played Trails Into Reverie.
I dont believe you, there's no way all the Thors Main Campus Graduates + Instructors and Branch Camp Students show up again

If memory serves me correctly there are 55 playable characters in Reverie, although some are only usable in the True Reverie Corridor.

I hate when Falcom wants to have their cake and eat it too. This was the third time they've done this after Ys VIII and Tokyo Xanadu, and once again the normal ending was more memorable than the true ending.

Finally some news for Kai no Kiseki:
Van and Agnes get new outfits and 2D illustrations. Bergard was also reintroduced in the news post but doesn't have a new model or illustration. I won't bother reposting their reintroduction text as it is doesn't say anything new. It's just a summary of where their characters left off after Kuro 1, as Kuro 2 is a filler game.
Looks like Yun Ka-Fai will make his debut.
First look at Ored
MTSC headquarters:
Grendel transformation available for action mode trash battles.
A new turn order bonus called "Blitz" is being introduced. If you proc a link attack on a Blitz turn, then an additional third character will also make a followup attack. Also works on and amplifies the effectiveness of healing spells and items.

It's just millennial and zoomer punk fashion. I go to the mall and see girls ranging from teenagers to moms in their early 30s with kids trailing behind them having exposed midriffs and piercings all over, and sometimes guys with piercings. I went to a rodeo last week and some late teens/early 20s kids sat down on the bench in front of me, again exposed midriffs and piercings. Young gentlemen wearing chinos and button up longsleeved shirts and sport coats are a rare breed these days. Parents no longer teach their sons to dress like respectable men.

You could just play it now with the fan translation patch, which was more polished than Reverie's official "localization".
Though I guess it might be worth to wait and hope that NISA patches the game and fixes the stuttering that happens during certain craft and S-craft animations.
I thought about it but with the official version on steam being so close (even with the risk of localized troonslations) I'll just wait.
Since from what I understand there's a fan translation for sequel, and THAT one will take awhile, I'll play Kuro 2 with the fan translation after this when I have time

First trailer is out.
Three protagonists wearing sport coats hehe
News post
Interesting that the Grandmaster is being advertised on the cover of the game. Again. Hopefully she will appear for more than 2 minutes and we will get some actual information on the big bad of this 14 game long series this time?
New Feri illustration. Looking better than her Kuro 1 design. Shame about the short hair, though.
Four characters now wearing sport coats? Hm I don't know about this black jacket + red hair combination. I think the white jacket + red hair looked better.
New Risette outfit. Eh
What on earth is this new Quatre outfit? It looks like he's either going to the beach, or he walked out of Bakugan or something?
Well it's nice we can see some collarbone. He looks a little more like a man this time.
Judith's new outfit is bad. First one was straight up better. Hope I can swap back to that one.
New city of Anchorville. Looks like yet another boring Calvardian city with brutalist blocky modern architecture.
We have fin funnels in Trails now.
I wonder if Rean can now canonically tap into the Realm of the Great Shadow (via the soul of Valimar which now possesses the Tyrfing?), or if this is just a fancy non-canon S-craft background.
What is this black thing? That can't be Claimh Solais because that thing has way more mass/volume, unless Claim Solais' AI is being transplanted into a bigger machine? Or is this some other external attachment?
The lighting and magic effects in the Kuro games is nice.
Why is Rufus lounging around in the empty castle at Oracion? And, oh dear, is this guy wearing a suit and a vest, but no tie and leaves his collar unbuttoned? He should either ditch the vest or fully suit up. And how did he get the Holy Sword of Ishnard back? He wasn't even able to take the Helmord with him into his exile. Did he still it back? Don't tell me Jusis mailed it to him.

It's so funny to me how obsessed you are with this point, and how you see the Ouroboros as some kind of black and white villain situation, when it's been made clear time and again that isn't the case. Beyond that, there's been plenty of breadcrumbs dropped to make the fair assumption that the Grandmaster is
Aidios, or some aspect of her. In that same vein, it appears her goal is to "reset" the world and bring about a rebirth, as the name of the Eternal Reccurrence Plan suggests.
It's not as cut and dry as good and bad, and there is a metaphysical nature to the workings of the Ouroboros.
