@KratosMD I definitely feel like I’m more prepared for it due to the set-up in the 3rd. I kinda feel like it’s a shame that some of the plot twists are spoiled in that arc when they’re great in the original game, like Olivier’s true identity.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy It really has taken me a long long time! The Sky games are on PSP/Vita and PC but I’ve been importing the remasters and patching a translation due to the extra content and redone art which I personally prefer. You’ll be fine starting with Cold Steel so I’ll probably catch up with you in... about 6 or 7 months at this rate 😂
@KratosMD In my humble opinion, Sky SC is the best JRPG on the Vita, even better than Persona 4 Golden. It’s definitely aged well and the Evolution version is extra good, despite the somewhat difficulty in getting hold of it and patching it.
It was... whenever Trails of Cold Steel 3 came out @KratosMD that I started properly looking for a copy of the first Cold Steel title. Bloody sold out though for absolutely ages.
The first review I saw on here though after officially joining up was in fact for the remaster of the first title (Though I was somewhat aware of the series before). I asked Rob about what the soundtrack was like if I recall correctly
@Ralizah Really looking forward to Circle of the Moon 2. The first one is an absolutely wonderful little game, and I think I may have preferred it to its big sibling. Is 2 released on the 10th?
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, Base are excellent. They're my preferred website for buying physical games as they're usually cheaper than Amazon or ShopTo and deliver quickly. Enjoy Cold Steel, anyhoo. So far I've only played the first two Sky games, but if the world building and attention to detail is anything like them you're in for a treat! I did get Trails in the Sky the 3rd in the current Steam sale, although actually lack the means to play it at the moment. 😂
And yeah, I'm with you. Even if it was intended to be side game, Curse of the Moon is absolutely my favorite Bloodstained game.
I'm a little disappointed that Curse of the Moon 2 isn't in a 16-bit style, but the first one was so good that I can hardly complain about getting more of the same.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy I keep wobbling on whether to try the Cold Steel games or not. I definitely want to give the franchise another shot. I feel like I should play Trails in the Sky SC, since I played First Chapter, but that game bored me out of my mind, so I dunno.
I feel like I'll be more likely to get it if I can ever find the Vita version for a decent price. I don't know why those games don't go on sale on PSN more often. Might as well milk the little money there is left to be made from Vita games.
If you end up getting to it before I do, I'll look forward to your breakdown of the game.
Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Yeah, Base are excellent. They're my preferred website for buying physical games as they're usually cheaper than Amazon or ShopTo and deliver quickly.
The Game Collection are rather good whom I usually use with a similar cheaper price point and quick delivery. It's where I've had all my recent purchases from in fact (barring this of course)

Ahh so like Ness it'll be 2030 by the time you get around to Cold Steel huh? 😂
I hope you get to play and enjoy Trails in the sky 3 soon!

I'm... cautiously optimistic @Ralizah about Cold Steel.
Watched the first twenty/thirty minutes or so of gameplay of the first and did try the demo of the third (Skipping all the cutscenes so I didn't spoil anything)
Mechanically it seems to be solid at the very least. The characters seemed fine from what I saw too.
Least going physical I can always sell it if I don't get along with it.
Seeing as I only just (re)started Wild ARMs 3 (and only got out the prologue) I'll probably put that down and play Cold Steel (when it eventually arrives) alongside Bloodstained.
I'll give you a tag in any future Cold Steel impressions posts if ya like

I'm going to play Rise of the Tomb Raider now that it'll be on PS+ next week and Shadow OTTR after that.
Question: do I NEED to play the definitive Tomb Raider before these? I played the PS1 games to death but nothing after that.
@LN78 great tip! Thank you! I'm on a Platinum mission recently since I've had more time to play so it would've been very annoying if I completed it but couldn't get the Plat.
@RogerRoger another great tip, thank you! I hate multiplayer trophies at the best of times. I like single player adventures, I spend very little time online. Mostly because I'm crap and don't want to be embarrassed!! Or my internet connection is crap (ethernet cable being delivered today to see if that makes a difference).
Plat isn't the make or break though, it's a nice to have. I think I've doubled my collection in the last 2 months just by getting 4 plats. So def a flavour of the moment more than an obsession.
Hopefully sooner than 2030 @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. 😂 2029, maybe. I was considering waiting for the rumoured Crossbell localisation before starting Cold Steel as those games seem to tie into Cold Steel 3 and 4 more, but that could still be a quite a long wait! This is the problem with piecemeal localisations being all over the place.
@Arugula Stellaris is complicated enough with a mouse. Legitimately don’t get how a console version would be viable. It’s not my favourite Paradox game, EU4 takes that crown, but it’s a solid mash-up of grand strategy and 4X.
@RogerRoger ethernet cable secured a solid 17mb connection compared to the fluctuating 5-12mb I was getting prior. Only got dropped from R&C A Crack in Time once last night! So a HUGE improvement. I'd recommend to anyone reading this to connect their PS directly to their router via ethernet NOW if you're running a wireless connection. The difference is game changing.
I ended up buying TR: Definitive on Amazon last night. Will get that in the post today. Now I'm just debating what to do first as there's no way I can play 2 games at once. I'm playing R&C now in preparation for Rift and i only realised a week or so ago I've never played Nexus. So I'm looking forward to that. But the TR games are calling me. Especially with rumours Shadow will be taken off PS Now soon.
If I download Shadow from PS Now will is still work when it's removed?
Guess I'll finish Crack on Time, then play the TR games. Then go back to Nexus.
@icecube No, games will not work once they are taken off PS NOW, even if you have downloaded them. I think they will still show on your home screen but will have a padlock next to them, and you will most likely have to purchase it from the store, or buy it on disk to carry on playing.
You can check when each game is leaving the service by opening the PS Now app and clicking on the game. They are quite clear how long a game is on the service for when it is first announced.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I've got 56 days to complete all 3 TR games in order before Shadow goes off PS Now. I'm most interested in Rise and Shadow but got Definitive in the post today. Looking at the trophies, there doesn't seem to be multiple stacked trophies for completing the game on Easy, Normal, Hard etc. Just in case the online mode has enough people to get the Plat, is it possible to get the plat with one main story play through on Easy? Just want to power through this as much as possible but would still aim for the plat if it's in easy enough grasp.
