Name a more chadly-written protagonist in JRPG-, no, in video games as a whole. Go on, I'll wait.

Of course, there has to be an underlying reasoning between Rean and Estelle's "relationship" in CS4, and it being based on their writer's favoritism is as good as any of a reason, after all haha

Well, I don't remember any other protagonist that singlehandedly turned their series into an absolute riot of a laughingstock, so I guess he's at least "quintessential" in that sense.

Christopher Hernandez
All those LN have to sell themselves one way or another, and self insert protags are merely one avenue. Popping them in a high school or isekai-ing them somewhere else is optional but recommended, of course.
Christopher Nelson
>the entire Erebonian Civil War, a pivotal historical event in Zemuria, happens and kills literally only one named person
All the war shit occurs on the western front, people die but you are busy doing your things, just like in TiTs when the Enforcers and Jeagers attacked the capital and nobody died or in Ao where Crossbell gets burned and sacked and nobody died, even a detective survived a grenade that was 3 feet away from him and a giant chandelier felled a top Ilya.
>most of the important figures are linked to Rean somehow and can be romanced by him instead of being their own thing like in Sky and Crossbell
Just like Estelle who coincidentally meet the prince of Erebonia and the princess of Liberl, has more experienced Bracers with her but let her negotiate a truce between two countries who are about to start a war. And don’t make me start talking about Lloyd who also makes every girl in the party wet, is the best detective ever despite just graduating from school.
It is almost like this are JRPGs and have JRPGs tropes.
>Terrorist just attacked the Trade Conference,
>both TopDad and Make Calvard Great Again outkeikaku everyone
>Randy has a big PTSD episode >Crossbell declares its independence
>bet you want to know what happens next right?
>Too bad have a beach episode, you can see all the girls who lust after Lloyd’s dick in swimsuits, rub lotion on them and go on dates with them just like in your favorite harem animes.

Is not fucking fair.
Austin Williams
Crossbell's like RE4 in many ways: while they're arguably the peak of their respective series, they contained the seeds of shittiness in them that would blossom further in later games and trash the franchise.
Chase Anderson
his english VA sounds like he never finished puberty
Michael Ortiz
because the psp was dead in the west when they released and the pc versions are owned by some retarded chinks who won't give the rights. falcom is thinking of putting them on ps4 and we might get those version though. just play the fan translations desu, zero's is terrible but ao's is okay.

You really have to play it to understand how insane their level of devotion towards him is. It’s honestly pretty horrifying. It goes beyond self insert wish fulfillment, its the hijacking of an entire universe’s world building and turning all of that the nothing more than a means of glorifying a single man. Everything in kiseki exists for Him.

CS2 is a masterpiece which subverts and deconstructs all of japanese fiction with its homosexual perspective of post industrial autocratic/feudal civil war and the struggle for identity and ideals which faced Rean is truly a metaphor for man’s quest to break out of archetypes and self actualize

Falcom said they're working on two Kisekis right now. The new arc, and also another Cold Steel game.
They said the new Cold Steel will be really short, the way they describe makes it sound like it will be Cold Steel's equivalent to Sky 3rd.
Eli Johnson
CS2 is a masterpiece because you can ride a Towa bike
Robert Johnson
百合子
I can understand that European and American players have little criticism of it.
If you play start at "-Sen No Kiseki"
Then the work of the four-part song looks "still ok"
If you played Sora no Kiseki 1FC+2SC+3rd
Zero no Kiseki
Ao no Kiseki
Then, you start playing Sen No Kiseki", you will feel that Electronic Arts has a reputation and integrity that is much higher than Falcom.
I don't know if you have ever felt that way. You are very passionate about and deeply fascinated by a work. Then you find that the author who wrote the script has changed. You never recognize the beautiful world again.
Some are just cheap scripts and full of Mary Sue stories.
I don't know if you have experience watching A Song of Ice and Fire. The next chapter turns into Guilty Crown.
As uncomfortable as eating faeces, KUSO GAME
Hudson Mitchell
Pretty sure saving the princess is optional . Plus, he's constantly in the shadow of his ancestor, which greatly limits his chadness.

Doubt it, after hearing about how 4 was the End of Saga. I've grown wise to Kondo's lies.
Christopher Bailey
It's so true too. If you're some simpleton who likes seasonal trash like "I got transported to a different world and acquired a harem and the ability to hack the game!?!?!?" then Cold Steel is probably right up your alley. You'll enjoy it.
Coming off of Sky and Crossbell however just leaves you hollow and sad.
Matthew Robinson
Yeah, and warrior men from the middle ages fought and died like cucks for their nobility, of which Rean is part. Your point being?
Christopher Williams
I believe it's from a CS4 Japanese trailer from before the game released. He simply posted 'Kuso Game' then an English speaker went off on him, asking why and saying Cold Steel was amazing. His response was that.
Dylan Green
It's funny because Gaius in this copypasta has more personality than in 4h2 und game
Xavier Davis

Jaxson James
I haven't played CS4 but all of this shipping stuff reminds me of Japan completely overreacting to Alisha from Tales of Zestiria. There were big problems with that game but all anyone from Japan ever talked about was how they shafted Alisha. It's like shipping is the only important part of these games to some people.
Carson Young
The 'shipping stuff' is just a part of the problem. Even then it's more significant than you think. In Sky and Crossbell male and female party members interacted freely. In Cold Steel Falcom takes the 'don't piss off the otaku by making there be chemistry between a female and a male that's not the MC' and basically remove any interactions between the boys and girls of Class 7. What makes it even more hilarious is that the games constantly say "CLASS 7 ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY" when in reality without Rean they'd probably all just sit around in an awkward silence.

Aiden Robinson
Started playing Zero after I determined Geofront's patch will never be released and the first thing I noticed, even with the the shitty translation, is how much more charming the main cast is to Cold Steel's. Even the side characters.
Carter Ward
The translation suits Tio (best girl)
Jonathan Cooper
Crossbell is the best Kiseki part.
Hudson Butler
The Virgin High School Instructor vs the Chad Adventurer.
Jaxon Price
Pretty much this. It was abundantly clear that they sacrificed interactions and chemistry between the classmates because it would hurt the sensitive waifufags who just want to see their waifus "remain pure by staying away from other dudes" lol.
I can already see the next protagonist being a rean 2.0. With a harem that rivals his, even more light novel bullshit, even more shitting on years of world building etc.
I believe rean has to be kondo's vanity project of his own self insert into the series because you can't make this shit up. Not even the worst self-insert fanfictions I've read in the past can compare to rean and his fuckery.
Bentley Torres
I believe think the erebonia arc jumped the shark for this series. honestly, Crossbell had many of the same faults but at least it didn't go full light novel mode on us then piss all over everything the previous games built up.
I curious to see if the calvard will move away from the cold steel-isms but I'm doubtful and we'll never know since kondo want cold steel to be the persona of kiseki's SMT and hijack it completely to the point of nonexistence.
Landon Brooks
>tfw estelle and joshua show up in Crossbell vs. tfw Rean inevitably shows up in Calvard
Lincoln Mitchell
I wonder what excuse Kondom will be using to have Rean show up. At least Estelle and Joshua are bracers, Rean is a fucking "military" school instructor. No reason to go to another country like that.

Hunter Walker
As much as Lloyd is a typical dense harem protagonist, at least he had a nice little 'JUSTICE' trait, didn't completely prevent male and female cast members from interacting, and didn't have a million special snowflake traits like having demonic powers or a special mech.
Cameron James
hopefully kondo's gotten all the self-insert trash out of his system with rean and we can get back to having good protagonists again. i'm not as down on kiseki as most people are, i've even found things to like about sen, but future protagonists need to be way more down-to-earth than rean was.

Only in mention and title, all his prowess were possible because of him alone (except the armor part, but Roto also got the armor set from his dad). He also, unlike his ancestor, went alone on the quest to destroy the evil plaguing his world. Roto had a huge group of heroes lending their power in his quest.
