Really? I heard the story was a trilogy :-/ |
To quote Guruda from Gamefaqs.
"The 3rd is something of an odd game because SC wrapped up the major plotlines raised in the first two games. As a result, when Falcom announced a third game some fans dismissed it as a fan disc or filler. In a sense, it's sort of true. The focus of The 3rd shifts to a different character from the previous two games and its story is largely self-contained. At the same time, it includes the entire playable cast of the previous games (plus more), massively develops the characters and the world and sets up elements for the Crossbell arc and games beyond. Without it, understanding everything that goes on in the Crossbell games is impossible as multiple crucial plot points and characters are introduced in it. It may not quite be a proper sequel to SC but it's not mere 'filler' at all."
So you don't need to play the 3rd for FC and SC as they did finish up the story of those two games but you will need to if you plan on playing the Crossbell Arc (AO and Zero) when and if their ever localized. As a fan of the overall series though, I am very exicted if this turns out to be a tease by Xseed!
