Please bring Trails of Cold Steel III and IV to Steam too

[ishizu_ikstar]

Just a couple of days ago I came across to a well known page that provides info on videogames releases, especially sagas (Not saying the name or publishing the article because I don't know if I'm allowed) but that page says that Trails of Cold Steel III and IV will be released simultaneously this Sptember for PS 4. Therefore, I can't help but wonder, will they come out to Steam too? Please say yes!!! I love this saga, I'm planning to make it my next buy on Steam and I'm eager yo see what happens next, please!!!!!

To be fair, NISA overall has given this game more marketing attention than this series has had in the past.

But its not getting any marketing at all. Except the series fans nobody else knows its releasing in less than 2 weeks. Not even the playstation page on social media's is promoting it.

Please. The English release of Trails of Cold Steel 3 has gotten several hundred thousand views on Youtube, 446k views from Playstation trailers alone.

Since when is 100k views a lot ? And have you actually seen the "gameplay" trailer? People actually mistake it for a mobile game! Go check the number of views of other games that have released this autumn ( or about to release) and compare.They are not giving TOCS enough credit.
Oh and playstation is advertising it you say ? Show me a single facebook post about the trails.Because on the 4th of octomber when they advertised whats new this month this is what they showed : cod, ghost recon and.....wait for it..... Concrete Genie!

PlayStation has made several twitter posts promoting the demo of the game and general trailers usually when they dropped on their YouTube channel or just to say it comes out on October 22. Heck if you go further back enough they were making tweets on it before the release date changed and linked to the main website. What do you expect from a game that is the third entry in a singular arc of a longer running series where that actually matters unlike something like Persona 5? They even made tweets about the Cold Steel 1 and 2 PS4 ports. And when have they given a game exceptional treatment and giving it “enough credit” outside of games developed in their own studios?

It depends what you mean by "a lot." A lot relative to what?

It's not a lot relative to EA AAA crap or Activision AAA crap.

But it is a lot relative to XSEED.

I.e. XSEED is releasing a new game today. At the time of me writing this post, the video is 6 days old, and has 4,281 views

(EDIT: yet the thumbnail of the link included lists the view count instead as 4,324, so I have no idea what that discrepancy is about; but either way, it's still way lower than NISA-gotten views).

So relative to XSEED, unfortunately NISA is indeed doing a much better job at marketing. That's too bad, as it just means more censorship-minded, bad NISA ports for all Falcom games in the future.

Oh, and how does 446K views (what the poster you are quoting said) get downgraded into 100K views (what you seemingly implied he said, even though he didn't...although 100K would stil bel a lot more views than XSEED gets, unfortunately)?

That speaks volumes. Looking at XSEED's channel the highest Cold Steel video is for the PC release of CS1 at over 70k views overall. The Trails in the Sky story trailer and Trails in the Sky PC trailer both have well over 100k views in fact both over 130k but they did come out a while ago so they could've added up over time especially.

So NISA is responsible for the translations of this series? I'm not fully fluent, but it explains the inconsistencies in voice to text.

[Tiasmoon]

XSEED did the translations for Sky and Cold Steel 1 & 2. NISA did/will do the ones for Cold Steel 3 & 4

To be clear, NISA is responsible only for Cold Steel 3, 4 and beyond. XSeed is responsible for Trails in the Sky 1-3 and Cold Steel 1 and 2.

Large portions of dialogue were unvoiced in the original Japanese. It was even more odd when certain characters would speak while others would not during the same conversation. For the PC release of CS1+2, XSEED went ahead and added more voices than in the original Japanese dub.

Also note, a few people who worked on previous entries in the series are also helping with CS3. NISA also seems to be really trying hard with CS3, so I have faith.

Earlier in the year NISA had a conference where they discussed the process of localizing a game, and at the end they talked about CS 3 and mentioned they brought 3 people on to help with the game.

That's comforting to know. Now it just has to come to PC's and I'll buy it.

mate this ishizu guy is giving false info. First of all the game is being released tomorrow (octomber). Secondly there was never any information that IV was being released simultaneously. In fact we have no clue when it will happen.
