Haven't played them but I've watched bits and pieces of playthroughs as well as checked out a number of recaps.
Is this new to 3 or have I been an idiot and missed out on the option the entire time in 1 & 2?
Yeah, it's new lol. They've been adding it to their games since Tokyo Xanadu.

First added with Tokyo Xanadu.
They never bothered to add it to the PS4 versions of 1 and 2. I think it's something that would be easy to mod for the PC versions.
I loved doing this for Xanadu. Really helps with the presentation.
I have, yeah. I linked some recaps of the crossbell games in a post on the first page, if you're curious as to what happened, but don't/can't play the games.
I've currently just started SC and finished FC over the weekend. I have a long way to go but loved SC. I can see where the story comes from with the CS games and definitely recommend playing them and Crossbell which I've also got planned to play.
Would love to play CS3 as I absolutely loved the first two but I feel I would be doing the series a diservice and not really enjoying it as much if I played CS3 and eventually 4 without playing the Sky games and Crossbell games. The origins and background of stuff is just explained a little better if you have the whole picture. Not to mention they are great games anyway with great characters.
Yeah, same problem here, trophies can't be synced. Did someone forgot to upload them to Sony's servers?
I absolutely recommend playing the crossbell arc. But if someone doesn't want to spend the time, or can't spend the time, the recaps are a good option.
Watch the Ladyvirgilia summary videos, they're thorough and the best there is but there's still 1 episode missing which will be next week as per her tweet
This is indeed the case. Should be up before noon tomorrow PT.
Well, I'm playing PSN version that unlocked at midnight here in Russia )
But they should sync if we've received them, right? When the trophies go up I mean.
My Body is ready ever since beating Cold steel 2 on Ps3 launch week I can finally return to Headpat King Rean 👀
Fake news. Randy's the actual headpat king. Don't let that Ashen Chevalier guy tell you otherwise.
Yes, this happens fairly often with localized versions of Japanese games that come out later in the west.
Ok, I'm just worried about getting a story trophy while playing right now and it not syncing when the trophies go up
Nah you're fine. If you use PSNProfiles, that's how you'll see folks with trophies pre-launch on the site.
Is there any bonus for playing the demo and transferring a save? Or is it just to get a head start?
I played a bit of the demo but figure I'd start over again. I also read all the backstory stuff.

Putting Indivisible (waiting for patches) and Crystar on hold to get started on this!! Unfortunately for all games on my backlog, Trails games get massive priority.
Nope. I certainly would like to but the current state of the Zero and Ao translations just aren't something I really care to put up with considering the standard the 5(now 6) officially released games have set. I'll wait for the killer looking Zero translation to release and then....wait forever for Ao I guess!
I'm not too worried though. I'm not obsessing about seeing the story unfold in the unintended order. Going back to Sky from CS was pretty smooth and a lot of the good in those games isn't ruined by knowing things about their ultimate outcomes.
Yeah, this is me as well. I don't mind going back and filling in the gaps when there is a good translation.
As per my review, played every game up to CSIII when I played it for review.
The one thing I was worried about was how the localization turned out, but looking at the reviews it seems like NISA surprisingly did a competent job.
While I am picking it up tomorrow I probably won't start playing seriously until the holidays roll around. Want to have plenty of time to spend with the new class VII.

Got my Collector's edition.
And.........into the attic it goes until I finish the Crossbell games.

So I've heard! What little I've seen of it seems serviceable but not really approaching the set standard. Still, the problem of Zero remains. I am absolutely not playing the current translation of that.
I'm super excited for CS3 and am sure I will be fine going back to Crossbell after the fact when there's a better option available.
Oh, I'm in no way telling you to play the current translation of Zero :)
Played all the sky games, CS1 and 2
Watched video summaries of the Crossbell games. IMO, knowing the Crossbell story is pretty crucial for story and character context and world building.
Ao chapter 4 is arguably the best in the series.
I finished watching a play through of Ao no Kiseki just before starting the game today, and I had no idea the ending tells you how the civil war in Erebonia ends and the events that occur. I'm kinda happy I played CSI & II first now.
Just spent the last 40 minutes refreshing myself on the lore in the library. This game is so goddamn cozy.
So many little improvements and addition already, like the perspective the camera goes into depending on where you speak to a character.

Yeah zero translation currently is horrible. Sure you can understand it, but it will give you headache as you try to decipher what is being said.
I played with an edited version of the beta, and I didn't feel like i was struggling. However, with geofront's translation coming out soon, I see no reason to tell people to play the current translation of Zero. (I did play with the beta translation, and holy shit was that awful. I got the edited beta, and that was much better, so maybe my standards were lowered :)
