EPTI think XSEED got the memo though, both Trails of Cold Steel I and II have the ability to speed up time and skip battle animations. What a life saver honestly.

Unleashing I'd rather not ask for an exhaustive list, but what in particular did you not enjoy about BFA? They're by the same company. So yeah, pretty much. The Ys before 7 were really minimal on the story, so it wasn't until 8 and memories that the storyline was really a part of the focus. The downside to the series is that there is a silent protagonist who is pretty boring, even for a silent protagonist. Some people have said Ys is the origin of arpgs, and they're pretty good at them. 8 is sorta hard, while previous ones were very hard. Trails 3 has a turbo button built in, so you can zoom through battles. I play turn based jrpgs real fast myself. | ||

Also Passive you might wanna play Trails 1 just because Trails 2/3 require you to know about both the events of the first few games and the characters. And Trails 2/3 both have huge casts which they're not good at re-introducing iirc. I know some franchises try to reintroduce things as necessary (think Harry Potter books) but Trails really doesn't care 2 cents about that. I would also beg you to only speed up the combat in Trails 1 since you might miss out on the incredible amount of work that went into world building and atmosphere. Trails 3 could be fun if you're quite literally willing to not bother with paying attention to the story since it's the most combat oriented one as well. It was also the shortest one I think. But if you're not paying attention to the story of Trails I'd argue you might just wind up with a pretty unfulfilling experience. A lot of other JRPGs exist and many have better core gameplay if I had to guess. | ||

I've been told Vesperia is a must-play for anyone who likes that sort of thing (also available on Steam) but I'll let ShiaoPi chime in as I know he's actually played it. | ||

I think one issue I had with Berseria was that you needed to keep your soul count up to really do anything. I liked it but remember getting 1hko'd by stuff all the time haha. I also liked it a ton with Japanese audio since Rina Satou's just an absolute beast when it comes to her work. Symphonia on Steam is the PS2(?) release which means you get a few extra dungeons, which might be pretty fun to nibble through if you're down to beat the entire campaign first. | ||

To me BFA is without a singular doubt the worst iteration of the game, worse than even WoD with its garrison bullshit. Really impressive that they went from the best recent expansion in Legion to the worst. BFA raiding is great at least, and the dungeons are decent for M+. Everything else is pretty poorly designed though, and I could completely understand 99% of the player base feeling like there is nothing to do but do but log in and finish their dailies for almost no reason. | ||

It's in the settings for all of them now on pc: https://www.siliconera.com/2017/08/07/turbo-mode-added-legend-heroes-trails-sky-pc-entries/ I think it's also part of the EVO vita ports but I can't remember super well. | ||

Ya if you don’t mythic raid or m+ more than one 10 a week then bfa is pretty bad. It’s quite ironic that while the primary complaint is that modern wow is too ‘casual friendly’ it’s actually turning out the opposite. There is absolutely zero casual content that feels rewarding to casuals. (Things like grinding pearls or ap are actually only rewarding to mythic raiders who hate it. Rofl) classic on the other hand is literally all casual content but it actually feels rewarding. (On the other hand dungeons are actually boring as fuck, and based on watching streams raids are no better. Heh) there’s just legit no mechanics whatsoever compared to modern high end wow. Anyways all that said since I’m done with all my raider chores (ap/benthic/etc) I play classic now in the times when I’d otherwise do that and only do actual content on retail. (If it matters I did originally start playing wow back at the tail end of classic although I did not raid back then and ya I’ve spent a good portion of the last 14 years playing this game.) Yo ith any discussion yet on Lover? I’m not really decided yet but it’s a million times better than reputation which I listened too once and swore off tswift for a year. | ||
