Trails of Cold Steel

>hurr durr stop liking things I don't like
>it seemed similar to persona
It kinda is. If that's your jam, then go for it.

Keep that assblast coming senhater. Another Sen game coming soon.

So was sora and crossbell.
Their saving grace is they were not as big "psh, nothing personal kid" as steel

>What went wrong?
Rean treating Elise like an imouto despite them being NBR and him already fucking every other girl in Erebonia and Crossbell

It's still considered incest even if you are NBR.

>Stop not liking what I like

>MC is a huge Gary Stu
Never played Cold Steel, but c'mon, how much of a Gary Stu could he possibly be? We talking Kirito levels or?

Kirito is a fucking jobber next to rean

>how much of a Gary Stu could he possibly be
Somebody post it haha

>Controls a super ancient legendary mecha
>Master said mecha in about a month and beats someone with 3 years experience
>Has demon power
>Makes every girl drop their panties when around him
Is that enought?

no, post the rest

It's a shitty cop-out, that's what it is.

I'll spoiler tag everything that makes him a Gary Stu, the length of the list alone should give you enough of an idea.
Adopted into a noble family
Leader of his class
Learnt swordsmanship from a legendary master
Has a special power that's dangerous to use
Everyone likes him
Even enemies like him
Every girl wants to fuck him (including a princess who had never met him before wanting to fuck him)
Even some guys want to fuck him
Gives cheesy "inspirational" speeches
Chosen to pilot a magic mecha
Is the long-lost son of the guy who rules the country

Why can't they make the MC a dumb bimbo again?

Well, our Rean the Mean Meme Machine is most likely the quintessential JRPG/VN/LN/anime protagonist, after all:

>orphaned and adopted into a Noble family
>final student of a legendary swordsman
>secret son of the mysterious big bad who's actually good
>such a chad that he not only adds every woman to his ever-expanding harem but he makes all the men wet too
>his sister and her friend (who is the royal princess)'s vaginas becomes waterfalls at the sheer mention of his name
>chosen to pilot an ancient super mecha
>masters and can fully control his *psh nothin personell kid" demonic powers
>wields a katana and can teleport behind you
>beats one of the most powerful swordsmen in history that's hyped up in trails in the sky
>grows up to become a teacher, can romances his underage students
>just saying "haha" makes everybody drop their pants for him
>uses the power of friendship to defeat the true antagonist interdimensional hatred ayylmaos who appeared at the last second
>even the protagonists of previous games hype him up
>becomes an national hero
>is technically royalty, his biological father is the reincarnation of an ancient Emperor
>breaks up budding romances between other characters that were developing in the third game because everybody sucks his dick in the fourth game
>can marry any girl of his choosing, will impregnate them with his chad thundercock
>kills himself in a noble self sacrifice with his fujobait boyfriend to break a curse but not really because the even bigger bigger villains rewrite the timeline to get the true ending
>becomes one of the strongest characters on the continent
>turns his series into a glorious unsalvagable trainwreck
>gets raped by a girl in a cave
>has the option to cuck Estelle away from Joshua and Tita away from Agate
>is the writer's favourite character, writer goes on to call the previous protagonists embarrassing

I agree when he picked Emma, but I disagree when he kept picking Laura and never skipped her S crafts either. I still think it was two different chinks taking turns.

He is pretty much too overpowered to serve as a recurring protagonist.
By the time he became a thousand arms guardian almost nothing can even threaten him because he will just kamehameha it into the ground or summon his Gate of Babylon
I do want a trilogy about a young Squire who eventually gets his own Stigma though.

>turns his series into a glorious unsalvagable trainwreck
This is the worst part since all Trails games are interconnected. So even his games retroactively tear down and make a mockery of the previous games' writing and worldbuilding, it's a crying shame. I shudder to think how much worse Calvard will be now with the shadow of Rean's games hanging over it.

i would but i dont want to play the psp and ps3 versions

Who was this again? It can't be Cassius because he was just a stand in for Rean's test representing his inner self.

English.

Two because I already fucking know that the moment they throw a paragraph up on the screen but Mr. Gook spews some two syllable moonspeak from their mouth I'm gonna be really fucking annoyed.

Like seriously? They already HAVE sitting and tea drinking animations from tea time and inviting to meals so surely they could get those working with supports conversations too.

Only two of these are true at the end of IV.

It's the fucking damn stiff sleeves when Byleth runs that get me. It looks so bad holy shit.

One of the interesting things about Cold Steel is that despite all of his Gary Stu qualities, he fucks up at almost every opportunity. His harem is obnoxious though. Also at the end of Sen IV he loses his mecha and oni powers so I don't think he'll taint Calvard too much.

It'd be nice to have someone different for Sen the 5th though, like how 3rd had Kevin.

huhu

Some of it's true, some it is false (like cucking Sky characters), and some of it is reductionist (like the national hero thing, which is actually a political ploy from Osborne to draw support for Erebonia by using Rean as a tool).

If you're not having fun though, I'd drop it because even though 3 is a lot better, 2 is horrid.

The difference is that Rean is an actual character, and he loses all the fucking time even with all his powers.

So... this is the power of ((((((worldbuilding))))))...

well his powers are not so great to beginning with he only getting better and better by every game did people expected him to be loser for the whole 4 games?

It's largely /vg/ crossboarders

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

My point still stands. It's either that, or the autistic Estellefag crawling out of the woodwork every so often to spam threads on here. At least the Reanposters keep them away or bait them into autistic rants by pairing up Estelle with Rean whenever they make a thread.

There actually isn't even an arrow pointing to him in that pic, just an arrow pointing at the box surrounding the block of Thors II saying "enrolled"

Rex is not even close to a self-insert. In fact most people hate him becuase he ISN'T a self-insert. He's a young stupid bloke who gets fucked up and fucks up constantly, and even his whole team tells him he's fucking stupid all the time.

Meanwhile everyone that's on Rean's side constantly sucks his dick. It's telling that whenever Rex is on the verge of giving up his entire party smacks his face and tells him to man the fuck up, while Rean's party says "Rean..." for several minutes.

Okay, to any newbies in this thread, I'll just point out what is true in this post about Rean. He's ALMOST as bad as he sounds:
>does actually get orphaned and adopted into a noble family
>is actually a student of a legendary swordsman
>is actually the son of a mysterious big-bad who's actually good
>can pair up with every girl from Class VII, almost every girl from his own class, his teacher, and a couple of other girls by the end of Cold Steel IV
>his NBR sister does have a massive crush on him as does the princess of Erebonia
>does actually pilot a legendary mech
>he doesn't actually fully master his demonic powers, but that's cause they're the side effect of a curse placed on him and the rest of Erebonia
>the protagonists of the previous games do play him up as someone special
>he does become a national hero thanks to helping put an end to the Erebonian Civil War in the first two Cold Steel games
>he's not really royalty, but his connection to Osborne, the Schwarzers, and the Arnors do make him bougee as fuck
>he only breaks up ONE potential romance arc in CS3, which honestly never solidified, but could have been much better than forcing all of his female students into his harem
>his relationship with Crow is fujobait as fuck and is the remnant of an actual canned romance arc from an early draft of the series
>does become on the strongest characters on the continent
>does turn the series into a train wreck, albeit on on his own
>nothing really happens with Estelle or Tita - that's all a meme

how about
you play anything else
or do anything else with your life, eh?

Judging by how often Cold Steel threads hit bump limit while Sky threads don't, I'd say they already left a long time ago and left the franchise to a newer audience. The ironic part is that since all the games are connected, they can't even have nostalgic memories or waifus without them being tarnished by Cold Steel or Rean every time a thread shows up.

Falcom has always been overambitious, which meant they would try to make a game, find out it's too long, then try to make it into two games. But then the games would be too short, so they add filler. So you get what should be the equivalent of 2.5 games at most stretched into 4. Also dating elements in a story heavy JRPG are shit.

This

why are anime fans so autistic in person

Rean is singlehandedly and simultaneously the worst and best JRPG protagonist I have ever had the pleasure/displeasure of knowing about. He is stuffed full of so many anime cliches that you can think of that he stops being cliche. He's like a paradoxical testament to 2010's anime protagonists as a whole. And it's all sincere on how he's played out, that's the worst/best part.

If they watch mecha, it's undoubtedly because their favorite girl archetype just so happens to be Laura, who's only liked by autists.

He's not a protag

>>is the writer's favourite character, writer goes on to call the previous protagonists embarrassing
The director, Kondo isn't a writer

Everything Cold Steel related inevitably centers around Rean. And yes, that includes the Sky games, the Crossbell games, and all Kiseki threads about these three sub-series.

What if Rean is aware of being protagonist and abuses it as much as he can?

H-hey Estelle, w-where are you haha...

Don't even pretend he hasn't also been the main writer up until his promotion and probably even after.

He wasn't though? The series has had several writers, and none of them are Kondo. Rean is definitely his creation though since the original version of Cold Steel had Alisa as the MC. Also the main writer for the series left after Ao

Ys VIII was pretty decent, so I think IX will be good if they refine what they had with VIII. If nothing, it'll automatically be a better game than Sen the 5th based on the fact that you don't have to play at least four games' worth of absolute trash beforehand to understand what's going on.

Ys 8 was pretty good, so I don't see why not.

If only he would "an hero" himself for trainwrecking the series. Ah well, can't have anything good in this world anymore.

Evade works on bosses. It's ages since I played a non Ng+ so I can't remember enough to tip you

Her pussy will be charred from his flaming cock

I just beat it for the first time on nightmare like two weeks ago. Something the game doesn't really explain is that buffs stack up to +50%, so if you have a +25% you can stack two and the symbol will turn from yellow to red.

I got all the way up to Ao before discovering +Evade arts out of desperation. Because the fucking Jaeger troops at the resort were immune to fucking everything except AT delay and they hit like trucks.
One fucking spell and they take more damage from counters than they actually do on their own turns, holy shit, why did I ignore evade for so long

i haven't played trails of cold steel, but trails in the sky deserves every bit of the praise it gets.

just stack delay on rean and spam arc slash or whatever his best delay move is. once you get the quartz that makes your first attack do double damage give it to laura and make her delete half a bosses hp. the only fights I thought were hard were the monkey boss and the one where you have to fight three machine things that spam lasers at you.

Okay thanks famalams. So does this mean Rean should just spam delays rather than Scrafting?
Fuck me man I've never played hard first playthrough blind on any game. Seems like grinding's the only way.

Can only pick one per playthrough

You can get one girls ending, then carry over your save data and pick another, but no one gives a fuck if you do.

yes spam delay as much as possible. give him the item that regains cp every turn so he can spam even more.

>Seems like grinding's the only way
Unless something changed in CS, grinding is a waste of time because you rubber-band to the appropriate level. Unless you really can't git gud. Just try to abuse status effects and AT delay, experiment a little, I'm sure there's a way through it

Kondo will just reuse them for Calvard, don't worry.

>rubber-band to the appropriate level
Explain? Does this mean every chapter, the game adjusts my party to the appropriate level?

fie can easily reach 100% evasion with quartz and insight making her immune to everything but specials. Alisa learns an aoe insight craft that should be spammed.

Experience you receive from mobs depends on your level
If you are overleveled you will get way less exp while if you are underleveled you will get exp really easily

Each level takes more xp. This means the game let's you know when grinding is pointless and that lower level characters catch up quickly

Haha that's our ween alright

Where? I scoured the journal and never saw any hint of that.

>kiseki vs ys 2
>adol vs rean is just you physically holding back on the stick the entire fight.

Me too

Grinding doesn't help much at all and the game is piss easy even on nightmare. You just spam AT delay in the early game and spam S-crafts in mid/late game. Don't forget to stack SPD and STR as all other stats are shit.

The big city doesn't seem as fun to explore as the island and all the empty space even less so but I hope I'm wrong.

Reanposting has the legacy of a 15 year old continuing franchise behind it and the ironic hilarity of the shallowness that is modern anime and VN/LNs behind it, just wait until CS3 releases and watch as Yea Forums somehow uses Rean as a tool to mock boomers, zoomers, and everyone in between.

Rean should only be your S-craft machine later in the game when you get Vermillion (make sure you always do your fishing).

So do Falcom Games cost less than I think they do, or do they somehow make more money than I think they do to continue producing....whatever you'd call their games.
Or is it both?

All I can say is that their games are ridiculously cheap to produce. It's apparent in their production values.

Haha, sure are Estelle and Joshua boring protagonist compared to our Rean haha.

They probably spend more in VA than in the game itself

Otomeshit is boring as fuck, yes.

>Laura lower than Alisa
This is a fucking travesty

...

Nobody likes a rapist.

Cope some more with your Reinford whore, Alisanigger

Welp, looks like I'm dropping CS1 after all.

>loving a cumdoll

She is safe. Something happens in CS4 where anyone Rean has "bonded" with links to him. She and Too avoid that fate.

What the fucking shit. My OTP.
FUCK YOU KONDO I'LL HAVE MY REVENNNNNNNNNGE.

Haha that's our rean for ya

Why are retards believing the shitposter about rean and Estelle/Tita? neither of them are romance options.

Loewe died though

The main writer for Sky/Crossbell is a hardcore lolicon, why do you think all the characters with the most development besides Estelle were lolis?

Haha you can't have good guys join Ouroboros that'd be crazy haha
