Yorknew was pretty solidly my favorite arc, followed by the one right after it. Mostly because I really like the Phantom Troupe, although it having one of the best EDs ever helped.

alright CS4 beated

I honestly have no idea how to compare it to other games in the series since it's so all over the place. There was a lot of good stuff, a lot of stuff that hit me really hard (I cried like... three separate times in the ending sequence), but also a lot of really, really questionable plot points and character scenes. I feel like it's a game that benefits a lot from the established world and characters and makes it easy to get invested in them... though at the same time I'm more than ready for a new arc to start so that we can get a reasonable-sized cast again. Gameplay was kind of an utter joke by the end but that's sort of par for the course for Erebonia (although the last rivalry with Ishmelga was actually kind of tense).

I'm gonna tentatively say 3 > 4 > 1 > 2 for the Cold Steel games, but aside from 3 being clearly the best they're all close and CS4 might fall on a replay like CS2 did. I watched a playthrough of CS4 and expected it to be at the bottom of my overall Kiseki ranking (I'd still put CS2 over Zero/3rd/FC), so in that sense it was a welcome surprise.

Sara is probably still my favorite Class VII character, though Altina certainly gives her a run for it if only because I didn't do her first special moment. Aurelia might be best overall though "Weak." pretty much destroyed the entire Salt Pale section.

Pretty sure I'm right before the point of no return in CS4, so I opted to beat everyone in Vantage Masters (which I hadn't touched until the finale, but all opponents but one are still playable and that one's card was in Neinvalli). Once I got a good enough deck it was actually kind of fun - went with a Sorcerer and mostly water/heaven cards until the last opponent where I just unloaded everything good.

Also beat everyone at Pom - oddly enough Klaudia gave me the hardest time.

okay I might have a longer CSIV update (just beat Act I and am back in Eryn - there was... a lot right at the end there) but Altina just delivered one of the most savage burns I've seen all game

Sara: *sigh* Youth truly is fleeting... But I'm only 27! I'm still a spring chicken!
Altina: And a headless one at that.

also for the last part of Act I I took Jusis and Machias to Crossbell and while I'm disappointed they didn't get any special ferris wheel scene their linked battle dialog was just as I imagined it (also running into Patiry made me extra glad I brought Machias)

Looks like I'm behind a lot of people here but I just finished the prologue/barely started Act 1 of Cold Steel IV. Man, that was a lot of cutscenes.

I missed Estelle

oh good Joshua still says "your finished" during Black Fang

was amused at the fact that our new apparent hub village yet again has hot springs and was further amused at the revelation that just like in CS2 it's named after an Attack On Titan character. but anyway

apparently the shock of losing your father is enough to completely change your voice, damn

I... kind of really didn't like the stuff in Eryn. It makes sense that some of the old Class VII would be especially down but this seems like one of those things like leaving at the end of CS2 where they just all need to act as a unit even if the writing is tenuous. That said, given what a few of them especially had just gone through, I did not like Juna's speech. It was well-delivered, but just really off-putting that with everything that happened in the Gral literally all she seemed to care about was Rean. then again given how old Class VII thinks of him maybe that was actually the right approach

also with all that talk about going out after him EVEN IF YOU AREN'T losing all your quartz and dropping a lot of levels and having to stay behind was a pretty funny follow-up

speaking of characters I missed hi Duvalie

Some of that sounds overly negative (in part I imagine because I haven't been sleeping much recently), but I'm still pretty hype to see a lot of these characters back again.
