*SPOILERS* New Sen no Kiseki (Cold Steel) III Trailer + Sen III News
Spoilers for both Cold Steel 1 and 2 inside this thread. This thread will be discussing the Sen III trailer as well as all the promotional material for the game itself.

Original Japanese Trailer:

English Subbed Trailer:

All thanks to Yotaka for subbing the trailer!

Falcom has finally released the trailer for Sen III! I wasn't going to make a Sen III thread until the CSII Steam boards were up, but since the new trailer dropped and Sen III will be released before CSII PC, and because I know a lot of the people who are playing on PC have played CS 1 and 2 on console, I've decided to make this thread now.

Anyway, the new trailer looks great! (HYPE!) Playable Olivier! (YESSS!) Can't wait for Xseed to begin localizing Zero, Azure, and Cold Steel III into English. Let's make sure to support these games so Xseed will keep bringing them over! I will update this thread with an English sub of the trailer if YotakaOfALoY makes one. I've updated the post with the subbed trailer!

You guys should also check out the Cold Steel III thread on the Xseed Forums[www.xseedgames.com]. I'd highly recommend it. You'll see Floofy, Guan, and Yotaka as regulars over there often discussing Trails-related things and offering help in answering any questions players may have about the series. I'm sure they would love the company! You should also be keeping an eye on Gu4n's twitter if you are looking for Sen III related news.

Please mark all Crossbell spoilers. Gu4n has stated that he doesn't notice any Ao no Kiseki(Trails to Azure) spoilers in the trailer, so we should be good there. I know there will most likely be spoilers for Cold Steel 1 and 2 as this trailer also shows spoilers for those games. I would also ask that you try to keep Trails in the Sky spoilers tagged as well, thank you!

Remember to be respectful in the chat!

EDIT: For those who haven't seen it yet, here is the preview trailer that came out earlier in the year:

It's going to be a long and painful wait for the English Version to be released. That reminds me, I'll need to go on blackout next weekend before the Japanese release on the 28th to avoid spoilers.

I've updated the original post to include an 11 minute interview with Kondo that includes some gameplay.

Also, in my previous post, I provided a link to the full map of Erebonia. I will now link one that has been translated to English by Gu4n: https://twitter.com/Gu4n/status/908389909114834944

Here are a few other things we know thanks to Gu4n:

"'Tomatonio: A Biography' is a collectible book series about the adventures of a tomato protagonist and Crow (Karasu). Okay."

"Kondo: You'll find out why you haven't seen other Crossbell characters when you get there. Names Lloyd, Elie, KeA, Sergei and Arios."

"Kondo: Sen III delves into backgrounds of Rean, Olivert and Mueller, the Stahlritter, Joshua, and the Capua Family."

"Can't find the original (deleted?), but this suggests that Sen III has 100+ characters voiced, 'nearly full voice' [like Evo]". : https://twitter.com/Gu4n/status/908570356415324161

"Huh, Game Animax interview got pulled again. Good thing I made a copy. Here's Kondo on the length of Sen no Kiseki III. I'm scared." : https://twitter.com/Gu4n/status/908584397682638848

"Translating the imo most interesting bits of the interview : https://twitter.com/Gu4n/status/908595853161615360
* The series' progress (60+%)
* Characters
* Series' future (Calvard arc)"

"Sen no Kiseki III TGS trailer contains shots from the game's animated opening."

And thanks to Aliseyun, we know why Sen III got a CERO C rating: it's for crime.
https://twitter.com/Aliseyun/status/909235789128781824

Some extra info we have from Aliseyun:

"Famitsu score for Sen III is 9/8/8/8 (33/40)"

"There's also a rumor going around saying Falcom isn't letting reviewers play past a certain point, can't confirm validity."

"Past Famitsu Scores

Sen I 34/40
Ao 32/40"

"FFXIII-2 got a 40/40 so take the score with a grain of salt (or a mountain)"

And finally some very recent info from Gu4n:

"Famitsu reports 75-hour clear time, praises changing NPC dialogues; harder; complex; not for newcomers of the series (doh)."

"Charming cast, refreshing battles, heart-warming fanservice, proper evolut. as sequel, relies heavily on predecessors, NOT FOR NEWC-"

A response to these tweets said: "Huh. That's shorter than I thought, though maybe they just clear things really fast. Not gonna put much stock in Famitsu though."

To which Gu4n replied: "They definitely don't play Kiseki games like you and I do, no."

For what I think:

It sounds like they might've just rushed through the game. Some of Famitsu's scores are obviously off with FFXIII-2 being 40, Sen I being 34, and Ao being 32, so we propably shouldn't rely too much on their rating of the game.

Despite what Famitsu says, it sounds to me like the game will be really long, based on what Kondo has said and how big the game appears.

It sounds like it might be harder and more complex than the previous games which sounds awsome!

I imagine the 'heart-warming fanservice' is all the characters returning from previous Arcs like Agate and Tita, and Randy and Tio.

The parts about the game 'not being for newcomers' and 'relying heavily on predecessors' sounds just fine to me. :)

joshua past ? it could be possible that we're about to see cameo or 3d Josh, or probably estelle.
i'm still curious who'll be the guest character in CS3 if there's any.

it's also nice to see they're using fully animated scene for OP like some other series (ex: tales series).

and finally since first revealed, azure siegfried's VA is obviously same as crow.
it forces me to think that the s-craft will be Cross Raven :D

I think it may be referring to Hamel and what happened there.

That would be cool!

If you want to know who has been confirmed so far: Olivier, Tita, and Agate are confirmed playable from the Sky games. Tio is confirmed playable from the Crossbell games. It's very likely Randy, also from the Crossbell games, will be playable too.

They've used fully animated opening for Tokyo Xanadu and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana as well. They don't actually make the opening themselves, they hired an animation studio known as Studio 3Hz to make them. But either way, I agree that they are nice. :)

Fie is a bracer now. S-rank immediately!

Here is a little extra info from Gu4n regarding the speed of Famitsu's playthrough:

"They're not leisurely playing games, doing sidequests and keeping track of NPCs like we do."

So it sounds like they might not have done any side or optional quests and activities. It's possible 75 hours is the minimum not counting speed runners.

Haha, I think we kinda knew she became a bracer based off the ending photos in CSII.

Thank you for this fantastic thread!!! Not even the Falcom subreddit has as much lucrative and valuable information as this thread does!

"[2ch] Dengeki reviews Sen III 95/85/90/95. Reports playtimes of 40h for speeding, 50-60h for normal play and >80h for completionists."

"[2ch] Character levels can't be carried over to NG+. DPS issue contains guide from prologue to 1st chapter, map, craft lists, etc"

"There's an interview with Kondo, whose way of phrasing things suggest Sen III won't conclude the Erebonia arc, according to 2ch."

"The (online) manual for Sen III. There appears to be no system to carry-over your clear data from Sen II." : http://falcom.com/sen3/manual/01.html

A little more info from Aliseyun's Twitter:

"The black records are collectable in game, unknown if the old ones or a continuation"

"Sen III SPOILERS
Translated Trophy list": (Possible Spoiler Warning) http://kiseki.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Trophies_%28Sen_III%29

Some people already have the game, and there is a person streaming it right now, so this will propably be the last update I do.

Here is a link to the Twitch Streamer who is playing through the game right now:
(Obvious Spoilers) https://www.twitch.tv/leta_jp

Aliseyun is also doing a pastebin translation of the Stream right now: (Obvious Spoilers) https://pastebin.com/uYPiXigd

This is propably the last update but if there is something else, I will try to keep this updated.
