Trails Of Cold Steel How To Dmg Mecha 2
Trails Of Cold Steel How To Dmg Mechanics

Dec 22, 2015 The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel follows a lot of classic JRPG conventions, and as a result, it doesn't do a whole lot of things that haven't been done before, and better elsewhere. Cold Steel 1 will have a total of 2 or 3 mech battles. While Cold Steel 2 will have a lot and you can summon the mech to the battlefield to replace all your characters in battle then you control the mech to fight. For a few turns. Trails of Cold Steel was the first Legend of Heroes title developed for the PlayStation 3 (later ported to the Vita handheld), and dramatically shifts the game away from classic 2D sprites and pre-rendered, isometric backgrounds to a polygonal 3D world and characters with 360 degree camera movement. Oct 19, 2017 The results of my personal observations are mostly in line with your own: an S rank affinity combined with a 4 star susceptibility translates into a 100% unbalance chance (I had Rean hit enemies fully susceptible to Slash with his basic attack 20 times and got 20 unbalances out of it), while the attacker lacking an attack type affinity or the target having a 0 star susceptibility translates. Dec 22, 2015 The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is hands down the best JRPG this year — and that’s saying a lot considering how many great ones have come out.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II^[a] is a role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. The game is an entry in The Legend of Heroes series, and serves as a direct sequel to Trails of Cold Steel. It was published by the company for PlayStation Vita and PlayStation 3 in Japan in 2014, and was later localized into English and published by Xseed Games in 2016 in North America. A port by Xseed for Microsoft Windows was released in February 2018, while a remastered version for the PlayStation 4 was released in Japan in April 2018, and worldwide in June 2019. A sequel, Trails of Cold Steel III, was released in Japan in late 2017.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (英雄伝説閃の軌跡 Eiyuu Densetsu Sen no Kiseki) is the first chapter in the Trails of Cold Steel tetralogy. Its settings takes place in the Erebonian Empire where its events concurrently intertwine with the events of The Legend of Heroes: Zero/Ao duology.
Dec 22, 2015 While still a relatively standard JRPG at its core, Cold Steel makes advancements from past series titles in three major areas: visuals, combat, and the introduction of interpersonal relationship elements. As the first Trails game in polygonal 3D, it's a huge leap from Trails in the Sky, but still lags behind other modern RPGs.

Gameplay[edit]

The game plays very similarly to the original Trails of Cold Steel game, playing as a traditional JRPG with turn-based battles.^[1] The game is not, however, tied to the school schedule structure of the original, with the game now centered around traveling the world rather than attending classes.^[2] If the player has a completed game save file from completing the prior game, it has an effect on the game of Cold Steel II, with certain events and dialogues playing out different based on choices and relationships built in the prior game.^[3]

Plot[edit]

The game is a direct sequel to the original Trails of Cold Steel, and begins one month after its ending.^[4] Rean Schwarzer has escaped alongside his Divine Knight, Valimar. He makes it to his hometown of Ymir with the assistance of bracer Toval, but Rean quickly finds him and his loved ones caught in the crossfire of the Erebonian civil war. Rean's opponents are the Noble Alliance, which has partnered with the Imperial Liberation Front from the previous game, as well as Ouroboros - a recurring group of antagonists in the Trails series. Students from Thors Military Academy, including those from Class VII, had been scattered across the country, so Rean attempts to get everyone back together again to put an end to the civil war and save those he cares about.

Development[edit]

Cold Steel II uses the PhyreEnginegame engine, and was released in Japan on September 25, 2014.^[5]^[6] The game was localized into English by Xseed Games.^[7] Work on translating the game began on February 2015, containing around 1.45 million characters to be translated.^[7] Translating alone took around a year, with it being about 95% complete in January 2016.^[7] Xseed also added approximately 11,000 lines of English dialogue for its English release. The game was released in North America on September 6, 2016,^[3] and in Europe on November 11, 2016.^[3] A port for Microsoft Windows was released on February 14, 2018, and features various enhancements from the original version, such as support for 4k resolution, various other graphical enhancements, and additional English voice acting.^[8] A remastered version for the PlayStation 4, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II: Kai, was released in Japan on April 26, 2018, and in North America and Europe in June 2019.^[9]^[10]^[11]

The game received 'generally favorable' reception, according to review aggregatorMetacritic.^[12]^[13]^[14] Chris Shrive of Hardcore Gamer strongly praised the game for being 'a modern JRPG masterpiece' with 'the perfect blend of the classic JRPG formula mixed with contemporary features' concluding that 'the emphasis on story telling and immense cast of memorable characters make the large time commitment worthwhile.'^[4] Kimberly Wallace of Game Informer was similarly positive about the game's story and characters, but complained of the game's dull dungeons design. Despite the shortcomings, she still felt that the game 'takes the cast and story in such interesting directions and provides so much to do that it’s hard to put down...[the game] makes me care so much about the characters and the world that it becomes easier to look past its flaws.'^[16] Darren McPhail of RPGSite was similarly positive about the game, stating 'For fans of the previous Legend of Heroes games and especially the first Trails of Cold Steel, picking up Trails of Cold Steel 2 is a no-brainer easy recommendation. While this sequel is unevenly paced and lacks shocking plot twists until the conclusion, the Trails of Cold Steel games are some of the best of the genre and well worth a look for most hardcore RPG fans.'^[17] All three reviewers agreed that, while it was possible to enjoy the game's story as a stand-alone experience, the story was better for people who had played the original Trails of Cold Steel first, due to the games' direct ties to one another.^[4]^[16]^[17]
