It's not machine translated. It's a complete translation by real people, it just doesn't have any editing done because it was leaked before they started doing that.
100% this. I know people rather wait for a better option for Zero since its in such a bad state but its not likely the Geofront translation gets finished in time for Cs3 and even if it did it would have to come out with enough time for you to play through it and Ao before CS3 comes out (assuming you plan to jump into it day 1 which you should). The translation for Zero is garbage but I played through it and got through it just fine as did several others and was genuinely surprised by how much better off Ao is. Ao's translation is not great but its leagues better then Zeros and doesn't have anywhere near the problems Zero's has.As bad as the current Zero translation is, it's still pretty playable. The current group is using that as a base anyway. Ao current edited translation is way better than Zero's so it's a better experience. I say go in now. If Zero/Ao ever get official localizations you can always go back to them.
Not on PC? What year is this? Total BS considering the fact that the first two are there.
The first two Cold Steel games didn't have day one PC versions under XSEED, either. NISA likely wants to take their time and make sure the PC version is solid after what happened with Ys VIII.Not on PC? What year is this? Total BS considering the fact that the first two are there.
The PC port of CS1 didn't even come out until almost a year after CS2 came out on PS3.Not on PC? What year is this? Total BS considering the fact that the first two are there.
Millium's new voice sounded great here. Almost forgot that she had gotten a new VA. It was only like 3 words, but still.
Hard to get excited for it when you own all previous entries on Steam/GOG without a PC version in sight.
If it makes you feel better, saves don't carry over for CS3. Unless you don't own a PS4, then I don't know what to say!
To be fair, there's no guarantee Geofront would have been done by December.Man, i have mixed feelings about this annoucement. It's really nice to finally have a release date, which is a good one, like skipping November, as we need CS3 to get good sales for CS4. But also I was kinda hoping to get a release date like December to let Geofront enough time to finish Zero's editing.
Oh well, i guess i'm going to start Zero with its current translation next month.
Day 1. Been waiting years for this, ever since I finished Cold Steel 2 on Vita/PS3.
You should never have expected a day one Steam release, the previous two games didn't have them and this game is a much bigger undertaking than Ys VIII was.I mean cool for people playing through the series on PS4 but where the fuck is the Steam release news? First two chapters have been out a while and now nothing?
Glad to see people excited about the release date! If you are looking for more details and impressions we'll be having a demo of the start of the game at SEGA's booth (if you are at the show) and running press interviews all week, so please stay tuned.
If you are a fan of JRPGs, you'll want to keep an eye out for coverage, this week is only starting!

We are allowing limited capture for those we are interviewing with so expect to see some footage creep online in the next week or so.Any chance of you guys uploading the demo to Twitter/Youtube later this week for the people at home?

I'm having my team prepare B-roll for those we couldn't accommodate, so you should see something coming around soon in some form!
XSEED didn't announce PC versions at first, either. Falcom probably told them not to say anything yet, I'd be extremely surprised if there's no PC version of CS3 released before this time next year given the fact that nearly all the localized Falcom games released in the past decade+ are on there.NISA could have at least something said along the line "A Steam release is also planned but it will take a bit more time that we can assure a good port. So we can't give you release date right now" which would have been 100x better than the current situation were pc kiseki fans don't even know if it ever will be released on gog or steam.

The difference is NISA needs to make the port themselves since Falcom never made a PC version, compared to most big JRPGs which are brought over by their own developer and not a licensorIts not 2013 anymore. Day-to-day PC releases are a thing, even for JRPG or least an announcement for a port.
I know, I play a lot of multiplats on PC myself. I'm just saying that a day one PC release is not always feasible for smaller publishers.Its not 2013 anymore. Day-to-day PC releases are a thing, even for JRPG or least an announcement for a port.
This really shouldn't surprise anyone, porting it to extra platforms was always going to take time
On the one hand, true.The difference is NISA needs to make the port themselves since Falcom never made a PC version, compared to most big JRPGs which are brought over by their own developer and not a licensor
Yeah, sooner than I thought.
