so how much playable is the original english translation? Do we understand everything from it or should i just wait for the edit?

It's garbage. It doesn't even count, really.

CS2 and 3 are heavily influenced by knowing Zero and Ao? Guess I'm stopping after I finish 3rd then

There's a sequence toward the very end of CS2 that will mean a lot more if you've played Zero and Ao and may be a bit confusing if you haven't, but the game does not otherwise require Zero/Ao knowledge. CS3 relies on it much more than 2 does.

Lame. Even if it's just a bit for the ending of CS2, CS3 relying heavily on it and no translation being finished for both Zero and Ao in sight makes me not want to bother with the current CS games.

Honestly, right now, there's no reason to believe CS3 will be playable in English before Zero and Ao are.

As for CS2, it shouldn't be a dealbreaker at all, you'll just have a different perspective from people who started with the Crossbell games. I'd argue playing Sky the 3rd before the CS games could be more important than the crossbell games, and a lot of us managed just fine without that.

for zero i'm sure, but i doubt Ao will be translated before CS3 comes here! I hope i'm wrong though

Namyu · Dec 14, 2017

Cold Steel 2 has been out in English for over a year now, you'd imagine CS3 would be getting a localization announcement sometime next year. Even if the Zero fan translation finishes in 2018 I doubt both Zero and Ao would be playable before it.

Ys VIII reads like a masterpiece in comparison.

If it comes translated by 2018 it will be my GOTY.

The new editing is improving the original translation , i am satisfied with that i see.
Can't wait to play it (if i manage to download the pc games since all the jp sites i see do not support english and it's indeed difficult to purchase something not knowing the kanji...)

Late 2019 is an optimistic guess for Ao based on how Zero is progressing. 2020 is more likely. No way CS3 takes that long.

I guess the pessimist in me doesn't expect CS3 before mid 2019. That was more a testament to this than anything else.
(And the fact you should never hold your breath for other entries before starting a game in the Kiseki series, what we have in English is already great)

varkuriru · Dec 14, 2017

One small detail that bothered me on the beta translation: Randy calls Tio "PeTiote". I dont know what that means lol.

Magic Kaito · Dec 14, 2017

Incredible work. I'll definitely wait for Azure before I touch CS3. With how passionate the whole team is, being patient is the least I could do.

Now I can't imagine Randy's potential english voice not having some degree of Cajun to it.

I expect early 2019 for CS3. If XSEED was going to take nearly three years for it Falcom would probably get NISA it Aksys instead.

i expect early 2019 too, mayyyybe 2018 would be possible depending on the speed they translate and edit but Falcom's schedule seems pretty packed with Sen4 already

The dub in this duology is exclusive to Vita, right ?

Yes, the Evo versions are only on vita

As long as I can play on PSP, I'm happy. Take your time.

Vanilla Ao had some lines voiced, but only Evo version is fully voiced.

It is actually possible to patch all the voiced lines into the psp or PC version, but it was a little buggy last time I checked

R_thanatos · Dec 14, 2017

Wat ched the 20min vid and goddamn i liked what i saw, almost make me want to jump in and start playing ..

But i'll wait .
To the team , do your best

there's someone who has been spending time on creating patches for all EVO assets on the PC releases of Trails in the Sky so it probably will be the same when these two games release as fan patch or official release

By EVO assets are you talking only about the full dub or do those versions include other things ?

This is pretty concerning to me.

While it seems like Xseed is pretty happy about the sales of the Cold Steel series in the West, it would not be a good idea to release Cold Steel 3 in 2019.

Yeah, like I said I'm just going to hold off on playing anything else in the series until Zero/Ao are in English (however that may be) after I finish 3rd.

art, voice-acting and music are all available, they post somewhat frequently on the Falcom Reddit with updates

dlsite has Zero for 50% off now (1,350 yen). Just need to solve the puzzle of how to get through checkout without understanding Japanese now.

I have the same problem. I used Facebook data but after that everything is obscure kanji....

Well, technically a lot of it are also Katakana symbols, that are essentially spelling out English words, or abbreviations of English words. So you might want to learn those 48 symbols. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana)

Heads up !

The game is 50% off on dlsite (until tomorrow it seems).

I got two coupons (300 yens each) when I made an account so I bought the game for 1050 yens in the end.

koutoru · Mar 9, 2020

It's great to see these finally come out. I already played through it with the previous translation but for anyone looking to get into this arc with a decent translation, this would be the way to do it. An official localization of the ps4 versions seems unlikely to me.

Admiral Woofington · Mar 9, 2020

Dope. Remind me Ao no Kiseki fan translation is psp copy only?
