    Cold Steel hearkens back to the golden Grandia era where Japanese RPGs were long and full of juicy dialogue. Sure, it may not have the same immediate appeal as Persona 5 Royal. Hey, this anime high school is still chock full of secrets and intricate beauty for anyone willing to put in the time.

    So far, anime high school is working out pretty well. Except my main character is supposed to be some dropout swordmaster. I bet he's just hiding his madskills.

    I know that this game probably won't win too many awards for presentation, but the high frame rate is awesome. Y'know how Guilty Gear X2 was smooth and fast as all hell in the PS2 era? Well, the speed of those trains in Trails of Cold Steel reminds of those good ol' days, when all the polygons/sprites were fast as s**t.

    I dig the atmosphere, but does this really connect with the Trails in the Sky series? I'm guessing that I'll run into Estelle Bright sooner or later...

    That prologue took some time, but hey, I'm back in anime high school. Again. I figure I'll get over this phase someday...

      Editing … "That prologue took some time, but hey, I'm back in anime high school" describes way too many games. >.<

    Sounds like this was one heck of a sleeper hit. I was a fan of Trails in the Sky back in the day, so this sequel is right up my alley. I received this for Christmas. The game is a slow burn, but man, Falcom sure did a great job building up this world.

    I guess the Cold Steel series brought The Legend of Heroes into full 3D. And that just makes it all that much more immersive.

      Editing … Probably should give the series another shot, but damn nothing happened for 10h in the First Chapter. I'm all for a slow burn experience, but that was way too slow even for me. :/

      Editing … You do have to be in the mood for something with the amount of dialogue these games have. For what it's worth I didn't take to Trails in the Sky the first time either. I got into it quickly when I started over this year though. It gets better but if you aren't into it by the end of the first Chapter (not prologue)... might not be for you.

      Editing … Cold Steel is better in that the overarching plot starts becomes apparent sooner, but it still pretty slow paced, soaking in the narrative sort of experience.
