Yay! A Popolocrois game I can actually play! If only they'd release the other games too (and no, I'm not talking about the censored, combined, Macekred version that came out on the PSP).

Glad I waited on EDF after the PS4 was annouced. Trails of the Cold also looks pretty good and will probably pick it up.

I think you mean massacred. And was the PSP one that bad? I haven't played it yet.

Nah, pretty sure it was a reference to the late Carl Macek, who is a pretty controversial figure among some fans...

And honestly? No, it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it, and I'm happy that we're getting another one. Honestly, of all the games I expected to see sequels for released in America, this would be in the absolute bottom rung.

^I just got the joke. Can't believe I didn't catch it then (though I would think the Macek hate would be over now since he's passed on).

I didn't really think so because I watched a full playthrough in 2013 and it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with the dialog or cutscenes.

Expect it to be censored here or there. Xseed has done this before with other games.

About legend of heroes, I can daydream envision the first game being released while the sequel never see the light of day. Xseed is pure incompetence when it comes to legend of heroes.

Trails in the sly SC and THE THIRD! when? Its been YEARS!! I dont care mucch I already played those games, finished Ao no Kiseki, playing the sequel now as well.

XSEED hasn't censored Senran Kagura before. I assume you're talking about the omitting of the girls' ages in the profiles of the games, then no one really cares for it because it doesn't change the game's contexual tone during story bits.

This news about Trails of Cold Steel is great! The title also sounds really cool, and could refer to the cold steel of a sword or the more technologically advanced (colder?) Erebonian empire. Of course, I'm just guessing from the pictures I've seen so I might be way off, but this is really exciting! I get to make use of my PS3 again!
I hope we get a release date for SC and this one soon, but I'll wait. XSEED is one of the better companies when it comes to localization.

As long as I still get the bouncy bits that make Senran Kagura what it is I don't really care...gosh I sound like a pervert...this is what I get for writing all that FanFiction

Digital or Physical is what I care about. Xseed has released a few games that I really wanted as digital only, but it has also released some as physical when I expected digital only. so who knows.

Although I am excited about Trails, this is the first trails that has not been on a handheld, at least not in the US.

That's pretty harsh. They're a small team you know, and those games have a massive amount of text to them.

When I saw Sen no Kiseki ads on Akiba's Trip simulated screen, I remotely hoped Xseed will localize that as well. And heck, now that it's true I can't be more happy

Senran kagura estival versus coming to the west? I have a bad feeling. Sure, I'm glad it's coming to the west and I'm ready to buy it, but... What if it gets censored. Embarassed

Already got my Japanese copy of Popolocrois pre-ordered. Not a Popolocrois fan, really, but I love Bokujou Monogatari.
Still waiting for a new console Bokujou Monogatari to get me to purchase a Wii U. Listening, Nintendo?
