Ouch.

If you're talking about the first chunk of the game where you're running around as Estelle looking for Joshua, then yeah I'd agree fully with you, but if you're talking just the cinematic I disagree. If I'm being honest SC probably has my least favourite cinematic out of the Sky games.

Best Cinematics for me would be between Sky 3rd and Cold Steel 1.

Sky SC - villains, romance, ancient mysteries, tragic backstories, beautiful music... fucking peak :,,)
Sky FC - comfy as hell with my favorite ending in any game ever
Cold Steel - only 30hrs in but i can see this beating sky fc if the other cities are as beautiful as bareahard
Sky the 3rd - KINO atmosphere


Azure - focused too much on being hype or whatever than actually making me care. i know thats mostly zero's fault but they couldve at least made someone die tragically
Zero - literal waste of time that doesnt even do its job as a setup game. theres an obvious drop in falcom's writing quality from ys seven's release to memories of celceta's, i wonder if the writers got ill or something...

Cold Steel is significantly different from the previous games in the series. Some people like them, some people don't.
Of the Cold Steel games - 3 and 4 sorta shit the bed in terms of pacing and plot. The earlier Cold Steel games don't have that problem (or, to avoid autists who can't not post - they have it to a much smaller degree).

So the people who don't like Cold Steel don't like Cold Steel - so those are the ones who have it low. The people who do like Cold Steel like Cold Steel, and tend to like Cold Steel 1 and 2 more - so those are the ones who have it high.

It's pretty simple

The Trails games have more depth than 99% of RPGs. Cold Steel 4 has 39 playable characters.

I have only played up to CS 2 (the stuff past that’s expensive) so I can’t rate the games past that.

Emma is best girl, but whomever decided to take her glasses away in CS3-4 should be hanged.
>>
>>3488160
Idk man. She never really gets any story beats for the entire first game, and then in the second all the stuff that she could have is given to her fucking cat instead (who, by virtue of being tsun, is a more fun character anyways). She doesn’t even get good stuff with Vita, all that’s mostly put aside so people can talk about Crow.

Like sure - she’s a monster in combat with her reflect craft and crazy spells - but the thing with Cold Steel is you can turn most of the cast into their own flavour of equally disgusting combat characters as well, so she doesn’t even stand out there.
>>
>>3488163
I liked her for her personality, and I felt like she got an adequate amount of screentime. Most of the 4th game is set in her home town, after all.

Rixia Mao if she real.

I'm patiently waiting for Fie and Nadia to become giant tiddy cows like Rixia too. (I preferred flat Fie but since they already went half way with giving her medium tits they might as well go all the way)

>When does sky get fun
I started sitting on the edge of my seat when the men in black showed up half way through chapter 3. The final chapter is really engaging, sadly you have to slog through the rest of the game to get there.
>>
>>3489011
>>3489028
For me the novelty of the first Trails game was how low-stakes it was. It was refreshing to play a game where you weren't slaying dragons within the first hour.
>>
>>3489011
Last mission of the first game, and then the second game is where it really starts
>>
>>3489011
>>3489028
>>3489364
I don't get this mentality that so many people seem to have for some reason
Why do you think tracking down sky pirates, investigating mysteries, and exploring a country - all with really strong character work - is somehow mind numbingly boring? Like do you need some shiny keys dangled in front of you before you're willing to read the text on the screen?
>>
>>3489377
yeah idk either, everyone says sky fc is the worst one and the last chapter is when it gets good which is so weird to me. as someone who played knowing nothing about the fanbase's opinions, i was invested pretty much from when i opened the menu. once cassius suddenly leaves liberl and estelle&joshua receive the letter addressed to him containing the black orbment, i knew i was playing something i would never forget. its kind of sad that ill never get to play fc for the first time again...
>>
>>3489377
Some people think if the hero isn't literally saving the world then the story is boring.
>>
Cut the Falcom cultist bonus and the baseline scores are reduced by 50%.
>>
>>3489377
It takes me a while to get hooked into things. I enjoy the comfy pace but I'm not "hooked" yet. I'm like ~15 hours in.
