Otherwise it's most likely at the end of December during their general meeting. That's how sen 2 was announced IIRC

My body is shaking to wait for that day.

I think that the scenes on magz that didn't appear in game might actually be the leak for Sen IV it was in the game before they decided to split the game on the very last moment.

Speaking of the game though.. they're kinda cruel that after just missing one recipe book in ch 2, I actually couldn't get max AP run because the quest needs 7 unique dish not sure whether I can get party such as Alisa, Emma or Machias before the quest end to make the last of 7 dish from the recipe that I got in this chapter

I'm not too sure about that, since almost all screenshots are different from the game. I see several scenes that either takes place in different places or have different angles and characters in them.
There is even a scene with two screenshots that are different from the game.
1st screenshot: A scene with Rean, Juna, Kurt, Altina.
2nd screenshot: Same scene, but now with an Aurelia text box with her face.
In game: Same scene, but now Rean has glasses and the text box is gone and there are instead subtitles.

Cause I remember in an interview with Kondo at the mid point of three something happens, which cause his students to hate him(This probably extends to class 8 and 9 as well). If he does escape, Osborne can mess him up even more, and declare Rean a traitor to Erebonia. He can do this through Rean's connection with Ash. Then Osborne orders a degree that all Thors 2 staff and students must be capture for national security. As for the events the problem for me is that they have events similar enough to what happened in CS1, that I can't help but feel they'll do it again. Trap door on first day of school, format of school day, stopping bad guys from using artillery inside an imperial base, and festival along with a dance. Events aren't exactly the same, but they're close enough. Hopefully if they do a repeat of the Pantagruel escape scene, this is where some members of the enemy start to defect.

Spoiler:

It doesn't help that since the beginning of CS1, Rean will not hesitate to protect someone at the cost of his life. He always had that slight suicidal streak in the beginning, except now its cranked to a hundred. Unfortunately there's another issue besides him being suicidal suicidal, there still him turning into demon mode. The thing that always feared that would happen did happen. Rean might go his separate way, in an attempt to stop Osborne and keep the people he cares about safe from himself. There's just so many ways Rean can react to the ending of CS3, that I don't know what'll he'll do.

Aww that picture is really nice. I really did like all the Thors npc, and talking to them. The only wish I have is that they have bond events as well, cause I always felt their relation ship wit Rean was shallow.

Spoiler:

They're going to need a breather regardless of the situation. They're not going to be as effective if they don't calm down, and come to terms with the situation.
After all Laura watched her dad die. Alisa gets betrayed by Sharon, and her dad straight up tells everyone that he doesn't care about his family at all and was only using them. Towa is heartbroken after what George has done. Old class 7 just watched the little sister of the class die. Then Alfin if she tags along has to deal with both her dad and older brother dead. Along with her twin brother becoming a psychopathic hungry power maniac.
Besides they could use the breather to come up with a plan, and get allies. Especially if Kondo continues with the Rean's relationship with his students are destroyed plot, Rean needs to sort that out. Then they need to expand from what they currently have which is Thors 2 students and staff, Thomas and Rosine, maybe Rose, Agate, Tio, and if Aurelia and Musse are still friendly they've got the Pantagruel and it's soldiers.

Spoiler for Additional tragidies:

You forgot to add about Jusis finding out that Rufus isn't really his brother (so that really brings to question everything he did for Jusis), and that Emma (if she finds out) about how Roselia was most likely talking about Millium and Altina when she made that comment about 'preparing the girls' sacrifices' in the game. Then, there's the fact of Altina (with how Millium sacrificed herself, and also if she sees Rean being a trainwreck in the next game) and possibly Ash (with how he helped the whole thing) might be in the same condition as well. Fie might be also added since her deceased adopted father is back alive, and is (unless there's more to it) is basically working for a group of people who sacrificed Millium (whom, like you've said, is the little sister of the class). Laura might have another tragedy, if she's going to react of how Arianrhod isn't what she thought she'll be.

Truthfully, more tragedies might come in the next game. With Elliot, you have to remember that his father is in the military, and that (thanks to that new law/act that Osbourne has enacted), there might be the possibility of Elliot's sister might be forced into fighting. Then, there's the thing of how Machias's dad might take this once he sees Osbourne's true color.

Problem with Aurelia and Musse is that I still don't trust them. Even if they're not on the enemy's side, it still makes me question whether or not they have good intentions (and there's no way I believe that Aurelia is someone with that kind of attitude. Sure, it might be just a pointless worry, but with some much backstabbers that keeps joining, can't help but be on guard until EVERYTHING is revealed about them. Like we don't know why Musse continues to target Rean despite the fact she should have enough strong people under her to begin with, along with the fact that Rean made it REALLY CLEAR that he's not interested in her at the least (also, now that I think about it, wasn't Aurelia asking for Laura to join under her during the second game?).

Spoiler:

Really tired from work last night so a lot of those thing slipped my mind when I was typing. Also if theories of the empress holds true, Alfin's family is completely messed up now.

I'm concerned for how far Craig will go to do his duties. Since in CS2, when Fionna was held captive he fought on even if it meant her dying. Then Kurt might have to fight his uncle, since he's also a leader of an armored division. Not only is Elliot sister in danger of that, but everyone they know is in danger of it. From childhood friends to Thors 1 friends to even Rean's students being dragged into this. Machias's dad I don't know. By know he's probably heard the rumors and know some unsavory things that Osborne has done. It's just a matter if Osborne has crossed that line.

As for Aurelia, In CS2 she was stated to be someone who wanted to get stronger and test herself against strong people, unless more about her is revealed in CS4. As for Musse she's still has a lot unknown, but I'm thinking she's the leader of the noble alliance or at least someone very important this time around. Here's why Musse has had really accurate prediction of whats going to happen just not how. in the finale of CS3 Patrick's dad called in Wallace and his men. Why would Wallace be there he should be at Juno. This is probably Musse at work here, by setting Wallace near by in case something bad happens like she predicted. While leaving the timing to Patrick's dad in case she's to busy to do it herself. This is just speculation on things that I don't even understand what they're saying, but I feel like she has a lot of leverage in the alliance at least. What's interesting to note when we first meet Osborn in the game Musse and him have a conversation that leaves both Juna and Cedric thinking that there's something going on between them. As for Rean and her, I'm thinking along the lines of seducing Rean to work for her. This is Kiseki we're talking about so there's probably more. I think Aurelia did make an offer for Laura to work under, and in exchange she'll train her. Maybe I don't know it's been a while.

Is this Gold knight? i thought it was clip for black knight but when look again the divine knight design is different than black knight

Spoiler for Gold Knight?:

[The Green One]

Spoiler for Septerrions:

So from what I remember there are two in Erebonia, how many did we see in Sen 3, assuming any.

Spoiler:

It's the black one. It's the same three horns and ark behind it. I don't think we see it ever in the exact same angle.

Spoiler for Sept terrions:

The situation about them is messy, we know their name and elements at least.

Spoiler for Further spoilers.:

They were Fire and Earth, but they merged into steel after they traded their final blow against each other. Now it's kind of split into the seven divine knights.

Just got to chapter 2 orchids tower scene with Juna and Rean... man, that was painful Poor Juna and Crossbell guys

Media Create sales are out!

Sen III sold 87.261 retail copies. This admittedly it's not as high as I hoped, but it doesn't count digital which has steadily been raising through the years. Overall it's a solid result, even if not a super-good one.

[LROlsson]

And according to Famitsu, it sold 104.401 copies in the first week.
The sell through is 80-100%, so it seems like it wasn't over shipped.

[Marx-93]

Famitsu counts digital right?

I guess it makes sense. Most Kiseki fans I know bought it digitally in order to start playing right when it unlocked . The hype was real.

[LROlsson]

While Famitsu counts digital, it's not counted here(only DL cards if there are any). This should be retail only.
It's simply the difference between the two's samples.

Edit: And now Dengeki: 93.289, about 80% sell-through.

If it's getting that close to sell-through than it means that the game is probably selling as Falcom expected and this is good news. It isn't a massive sales bump but that's ok. In fact it would be strange for the last game in a trilogy to have a large sales bump anyway, that usually happens when you start a new story since people don't need to have played the previous ones.

Spoiler for Ending Spoiler Warning:

Victor, Toval and Oliver. What do you guys think? Are they really dead? Or is this going to be a "No one could survive that!" trope? I could see killing off Victor and Toval to give things a shocking swerve, but Oliver seems a tad too important to just drop a bridge on him. (More tropes! XD) Your guys thoughts?

Spoiler:

Schrodinger's death. Until the bodies are actually found and confirmed as them, assuming them as MIA only.

I mean, Crow was supposed to be death with a bloody body and guess what? He gets rezzed as a homunculus.

To be honest though, Chances of survival of Oliver and TOval is pretty high while Victor's lower. Especially since if those two dies, Schera and Ein is going to go ballistic.

Spoiler for Sen 3:

as Vita said in Cold steel 1 cliches are cliches for a reason and I'm willing to bet that it only appeared that they died but some off screen magic happened to make sure they got away before the explosion

Spoiler:

Well, prevalent theories going around is that Bleublanc swooped in to save his rival Olivier and probably Toval. Those two are great Art casters and BB does have a sort of respect for them, so dying a anti climatic death like that migth not sit well with the guy so BB jumps in so that he can arrange a much more beautiful death for them.

Looks like Falcom recently tweeted their sales report and Sen3 is up to 104,401 units sold according to their tracker. Looks like a lot of people got the game digitally. Looks like the game is seeing some decent sales.

Looks like it.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has the highest digital sales rate in the series

“The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III has achieved 1st place in the weekly sales ranking!” Falcom said in a tweet, linking to a Famitsu report on physical sales. “This time, the rate of digital version sales was by far higher than previous entries in the series, but we were able to achieve over 100,000 units in the first week with physical version sales alone.”
