The hype is really coming, especially Kuro is noted to be majority of the new characters, I'm interested how Kuro tied themselves in the bigger scheme though.

MeoTwister5 · 2021-09-20, 20:02

So what Sept-Terion are we likely to see in Calvard?

Either Wind or Time. Guessing purely from the name of the game and the color of MC's Kamen-raider form

The name is of the color black, it's theme is of nightmares which is a status aliment from time arts and there is a big clock in the opening movie.
I would say it will be the Sept-terrion of time

MeoTwister5 · 2021-09-21, 10:15

If we get time then that leaves water and wind left. I'm guessing we might actually get a similar setup of Earth and Fire being together in one nation, so we might getting water and wind in unison to form one stronger Sept-Terion.

InfinityDragonGod · 2021-09-22, 12:48

There's this theory of wind being related cause the eastern interpretation of it is mind, intelligence, and imagination. Basically the wind septerrion could be connected to the possible world theory of Kiseki.

Here's a better detailed explanation for it.

Dengeki got their hands on a copy and posted a non-spoiler review.

Spoiler for Main points of review:

You can't talk to all NPCs (similar to Ys IX, I think) as they have added a lot more to make the world feel more alive. I don't think this means there are less NPCs to talk to, though, as the reviewer mentioned if all the NPCs had dialogue the play time would be doubled. They also mentioned it is a good fit for Calvard as it helps portray the multicultural and multiethnic atmosphere of the country.

There are longer loading times than in previous entries due to the increased graphics and NPC count, implied to be more noticeable when using Fast Travel. There are tips during loading screens and they didn't use Fast Travel as much as they found traveling the towns fun, so they didn't mind it too much. Still, they're hoping this might be improved by launch and/or with patches, and wonders how it'll run on PS5.

The reviewer wishes for a "Trails in the Sky R", or more specifically they would like the Sky Trilogy remade in this new engine and made available on modern platforms.

The visuals have been improved to allow for better facial expressions, animations, and textures. Obviously it's not AAA level with photorealistic graphics.

The LGC Alignment System changes depending on if you pick Law (white), Grey (grey), or Chaos (black) actions as Van and will affect things later on. You can also get different gear depending on what you pick. I think the reviewer mentions replaying the game for different choices?

The reviewer says the game has a lot of returning characters, though they aren't heavily involved in the main story and they think it is a good entry point for newcomers. They also want Trails in the Sky released on modern consoles.

The game is over 60-70 hours for its main story. I think they mention some people may want to rush through or rush to do another playthrough to see different LGC choices? Some elements of the gameplay have been simplified and streamlined like the Cooking System (which is more convenient and easy to understand) and the Battle Information (which gets recorded just by fighting). I'm not entirely sure what that means. I guess it means you won't need to use scans enemies anymore?

Van is a problem-solver (Spriggan) with a lively personality and is a big brother figure like Randy or Crow, which sets himself apart from the other protagonists. He's the second oldest character in the party (Van is 24).

The Arkride Solutions Office is the reviewers favorite main cast so far and says all the characters have unique personalities. Instead of Bonding Events there are Connect Events. I'm not too sure how else they describe the differences.

The relationship of the three childhood friends (Van, Elaine, and Rene) are a notable part of the story, I think it says. They also really like FIO, one of Quatre's orbal drones, and say it's their favorite mech since Pater-Mater. It also apparently has a cuter voice than one would expect.

For the combat system they link to a slightly older article , but also give their brief thoughts on it. They loved it and think both Field and Command Mode are fun and that the most noteworthy aspect is the fusion of the two. You can create advantageous situations in an actionable field battle and then seamlessly shift to command-based battles. They describe it as addicting, and also mention the feeling of transitioning to Command Mode as indescribable.

The AT system has been redesigned and could be a little confusing at first, but you'll get used to it. Using Grendel is adrenaline pumping and cathartic. The transformations scene is very exciting. A complaint they have is that the status icons are too small, and that it's becoming more common for HD games to make their UI more compact and also harder to see. They say it may not bother you if you have a big monitor or TV, but for them it was an issue.

So far recepetion is pretty postive.

A video of some of the S-crafts from Kuro no Kiseki.
Don't take anything in this video as proof about situations or who will be a playable party member.
It's stressed that it is using a build of the game to make it easier to demonstrate the S-crafts and it can be very different in the final game itself.

No character CG during S-craft??? That is my favorite part about S-craft.

They really went all out with Fie's S-craft. But....umm Fie, you shouldn't jump around like that while wearing a skirt.

LROlsson · 2021-09-24, 07:01

Two gameplay videos have been released(one is a stream archive) from media sites.
First one is dudgeon gameplay, but sadly the video has crushed black level. I would guess this is from chapter 2(if it's using the chapter structure).
The gameplay part begins at the timestamp 8:09.

And 2nd one is a 48 minutes video with what is probably various parts of the prologue of the game.
Sadly, I think something is wrong with the capture. The framerate is just wrong.

I only found this on reddit but, Kurono=Chrono.

MeoTwister5 · 2021-09-30, 01:23

Well I suspect that if Time is the Sept-Terion in this game, then perhaps the core plot will revolve around the antagonists wanting to go back in time and trying to restore Calvard to "glory" that could exceed Erebonia, probably before the establishment of the Calvardian democracy.

Then in the final game of 'Kuro', the plot will reveal that everyone has been trapping in a time-loop and what we have played so far is the is 1,722,855th loop.
