Nov. 2024

Peak trails remains peak in the classic rpg genre. Trails continues to weave a bunch of plot lines together while keeping you glued to your seat wondering what will happen next (except when you blast off the same seat when legacy characters return), while giving us more options during COMBAT leading to a very surprising amount of freedom when building your party, almost too much freedom def recommend to switch to a harder difficulty once you get the ball rolling around mid game.

This game RUINS me. It's such a hard one for me because the characters are great, and everything in the story is necessary for the ending of the game to make sense, but it was so. darn. long. I'm told that Trails games are this long going on from here, so I'm braced for that now. The characters in this game are GREAT. Honestly, New Class VII is my favorite main cast of a Trails arc since the first two Sky games. Juna is a great character who is used to explore the complicated politics of Erebonian/Crossbellan relations, Altina is a master class in trauma, emotions, and learning empathy, Ash adds SO much it's insane, Musse is super plot relevant (much to my chagrin, I hate her innuendos so much), and Kurt is there too! The Orbment system in this game is on par with Azure for me. Having two master quartz slots is amazing, and the combination quartz feel rewarding to synthesize/modify. The ending of this game is INSANE, and makes the long, drawn-out story of the past two games feel completely worth every second in my opinion. It carries its momentum into the rest of the arc and had me actually screaming out loud on call with my girlfriend. This is a GREAT game, but you officially need to play the Sky trilogy, Crossbell Duology, AND the previous two Cold Steel games for the full effect of the plot payoffs.

It all starts with some kids going to school and ends having hit you with every anime trope in the book orchestrated (and translated) in an epic story. Part 3 of 4. Warning: Do not look at any fandom wikis for anything before playing through the series. They can't seem to help but put spoilers all over the place.

April 2024

Significantly better than the previous two games. Smaller main cast works to its benefit, but they also leverage the larger cast very well in the latter half of the game. I need to play CSIV immediately O_O

Dec. 2023

ToCS 3 is a massive improvement over the first two games in terms of production quality. The graphics are so much better looking! You can tell that a lot of love went into this game. The voice acting is, as ever, thoroughly professional and brings the world to life. It took me a while to warm up to the new class 7 because they were mostly new characters, but they are well implemented. Each affects the story in their own unique way and it doesn't feel like they were put in just for filler. This is quite an achievement because the Trails universe has hundreds of characters. Kudos to the writing team for their Herculean task of keeping the story consistent. The new Vantage Masters card game is lots of fun. I'm adding this to my ToCS 2-4 reviews: The only thing wrong with this game franchise is that you cannot control your giant mecha outside of combat. If they let you free roam in the mech, this franchise would be amazing
