The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel


What It Is: Military Academy members deal with high school drama, rigorous study, doing tasks for the cute class president, and travelling across the land to get to know team members and the country better. Also, war, politics, betrayal, magic, technology, magitech, harem anime, gundams, super saiyan ultra instinct, sailor moon cat, rank s demons, and Margarita. Spiritual Sequel to Skies of Arcadia?

- Eighteen games in and this is the second game I finished that I started in 2018 or before (first being Caravan). I really loved the characters a lot more than Trails in the Sky, getting to know all of them and feel for them more than about a third of the old cast. The journeys across the land, the stories told, the adventures had... they were all fun and sometimes shocking. I don't really have words right now for two reasons. The first being... everything after the dance has just been a lot of WTF and I need to play again with new eyes. The second... my last save file before starting Chapter 6 again a few weeks back are from August 2018. I kind of forget a lot of what happened.

And despite ranking this highest of games I've played so far, completing a lot of things and looking to complete everything I missed in a second playthrough, and ready to start a NG+ in moments, I'm super disappointed in one major thing I think they left out that ate up at least three or four hours of my time:

Final exams.

I spent wayyy too much time after that first test in like Chapter 1 or 2 taking detailed notes of every book, event, and class that I thought might have come up in a test at the end. I have pages about Crossbell's economy, the types of vehicle models at Reinford HQ, detailed pictures of country seals, dates for when things that happened, and Erebonian folklore. Yet, we never had to put that knowledge to the test. Ugh, it's like... it's like I studied just to learn stuff and not to get extra AP. Shame on you game for educating me in fictional history.

Trails in the Sky SC > Cold Steel > FC, with The Third as a complete Wild Card.
