I can't believe I forgot to make a thread until now; it isn't really home without a Falcom thread in the catalog.
>What are your favorite Falcom titles?
>What are you playing right now?
>You getting ready for TitS SC, anon?
For folks that haven't heard of the company before; Nihon-Falcom is a company that has developed many classic japanese titles on the PC; including the Ys series, the Sora no Kiseki series, and what have you. Over the last decade they've been away from PC development themselves, but a lot of their titles are only just now finding their way over to our shores. XSEED primarily publishes Falcom titles in the west, although Gurumin is being released by Mastiff in just a few days for PC.
Some recently translated/released titles are;
>The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC (PC)
>Brandish: The Dark Revenant (PSP/Vita)
>Ys: Memories of Celceta (Vita)
And of course, Ys VI PC, TitS SC, and Gurumin PC are all being released in the west soon.
Titles being released in Japan soon, are;
>Ys 8
>Tokyo Xanadu
>Unannounced New Project
Now - lets have ourselves a Falcom thread!

>What are you playing right now?Mainly Doom and FFXIV, but I'm waiting warmly for Gurumin.
>You getting ready for TitS SC, anon?I still haven't finished FC for some goddamned reason, and I was waiting for it all winter 2013.
I hope Tokyo Xanadu brings more Valse pour Xanadu remixes
and a PC port..

Anyone been keeping track of the Nayuta no Kiseki English patch? How close is it to done?
81d98b No.8009
>>7958I am but I haven't played it yet. It's pretty much done (v4.08). The only later patches they're going to do is script revision (so it all reads properly) and bug fixing - unless they find an area they've missed, which I doubt.

>>8009Does it matter which version of the game I get? I know Danganronpa required the "The Best" version.
f1e0bc No.8024
>>8016Also, how is it compared to Ys if anyone has gotten around to playing it? A physical copy is surprisingly cheap so I might add one to my collection and rip it to patch the fan translation in with my own copy.

Is Ys V worth giving another shot? I tried it a while back and according to my save I got about 4 hours in and stopped about there. I can't remember if I just got distracted by other games or if I just didn't like it enough to keep going.
78ade2 No.8150
>>8045From what I understand, Ys V wasn't particularly good - and Ys VI was seen as a "return-to-form" for the series.

I love how on Celceta there's a bug where sometimes you can't get a coin dropped by an enemy and the partners start spinning like retards around it.
And one time they started to dash around me, they looked like they were jumping like frogs.
Also, next time learn to post the proper trailers faggots
20dd7f No.9119
Also, talking about the Gurumin keys thing: as you know, they said first to vote yes, then later to comment. This can lead to the "did I put the comment?" confusion. What if they take advantage of this and delete comments? How many people would be fooled that they forgot to leave a comment?
f1e0bc No.9132
>>9119That would be so extremely shitty I don't think it would be worth the backlash. They'd probably end up losing more from people choosing not to buy their game because of it than they would save from getting away with it.

>>9132I remember reading in a Gurumin thread on /v/ that Mastiff (the niggers who are publishing this) did a similar free-game offer in the past and they ended up giving away maybe a few hundred keys as opposed to the thousands they "should" have.

>We want to make sure that everyone is happy. So… We are awarding a key to EVERYONE who helped us get Gurumin through Steam Greenlight and ALSO to registered users who joined the Gurumin Steam group up through last week! This means that we are tossing the comment part out the window. We would rather give away a few extra keys to those of you who supported us than leave legitimate supporters who just failed to post empty-handed.

Still glad that they did the right thing, though, don't get me wrong. But fulfilling the terms of a promotion as stated isn't being based, it's the minimum expectation.
Note that if you're not listed as eligible on the key claim website, you should try e-mailing Mastiff at their customer service address before raging.

In Gurumin is anyone else having trouble not doing the moves where you circle that analog stick around? I keep doing them when I don't mean to and it's really annoying. I imagine in the later difficulties this would cause many deaths.

It was Tom who chose the tracks to go on the Ys Silver Anniversary Album, right? He's got good taste in Ys music. I don't think I've ever seen such a large album come with a game before. Most I've seen outside of this is one disk with 5 tracks with Muramasa Rebirth's SE (fuck you Aksys, give me the whole thing).

>>10456That's what happens when you a real fan works for videogames. Being based also helps.
Really, as a Falcom fan we pretty much got blessed thanks to XSEED. From getting ignoring to turning Falcom into something relatively mainstream and not just niche as fuck it's something we'll never be able to thank enough.
f1e0bc No.10905
>>10902I honestly had never heard of any Falcom games outside of maybe Gurumin before XSEED brought Ys Oath to Steam. I gave it a chance and now I fucking love Falcom. Now I've played every Falcom game released on Steam, Xanadu Next, Ys Seven and Celceta, and Ys vs Sora no Kiseki. Been thinking about importing Nayuta no Kiseki too. I'm trying to learn Japanese as well so I'm hoping to eventually play the LoH Gagharv Trilogy without the shit translation.

So how do I get the Princess Dress in Gurumin? I bought all three hats from gramps and he gave me a Silver Medal but no costume. The wiki says to give him 30 Gold Medals and I think the prices for all the hats add up to 30.
By the way, I went to check the dresser and I had bought the Maid outfit before but this time there was nothing. Obviously it glitched but is there a way I can fix it? I'm wanting to eventually 100% the game and I'm hesitant to finish this first playthrough right now if there's a glitch which erases all my costumes.
f1e0bc No.11430
What Falcom game would you say has the best overall soundtrack? Without having gone back through every track from every one I've played, I'd have to say Ys Seven.
Ys vs Sora no Kiseki doesn't count.

Sen no Kiseki confirmed to be coming over under the name "Trails of Cold Steel". They're bringing it over before 3rd, Zero, and Ao for multiple reasons which are in this blog post.
Personally, I'm excited. They say you can play it before having played the unreleased games but I'm still unsure if I'll play it. I'll certainly get it though so I can have it for the future (if I don't play it immediately) and support the series getting localized.
