Last year, finishing in August, I played the first Trails of Cold Steel game. I had a thread for it, which a few people were following, but I didn't move on to the second game. Partially I was exhausted in terms of playing a game with a really long narrative. Partially I had stuff in my backlog. Partially I had no interest in playing a game with giant robot combat shoehorned in. And partially I'm a cheap bastard who refuses to buy anything on Steam unless it's at peak discount. TOCS2 finally went on sale for maybe the first time with the winter sale, but I had enough else to play that I didn't pick it up at the time. Now things have kind of stagnated for me, and TOCS2 hit another sale, so I figured eh, wth.

Reminder that it has been 9 months since I finished the first game, so not everything is completely fresh in my mind. Also, I have played virtually none of the other Kiseki games, other than a large chunk (probably more than half) of TitS FC. References to Sora, Ao, or Zero are going to fly over my head at best, and be obnoxious spoilers at worst. While I don't like missing things, I am definitely not a completionist. If I'm at risk of missing something potentially valuable, a gentle suggestion might be appreciated, remember that this is a blind playthrough and that a vast chunk of the enjoyment from these games is discovering the story, the characters, and the world.

I'm assuming I'll be importing my 82-hour save from TOCS1 somehow. I chose Laura at the end, who is best girl. If you were interested in the old thread, or would be interested in this one, drop a tag or tell me what kind of commentary you enjoy the most.
