just got to crow's backstory. and this is one of those moments that it reminded me why i love the series. it's just a grounded event, basic economy and predatory business practice/political manipulation, coupled with some fantasy background (the salt pale incident shown its effect both geographically, technologically, economic and socio-politics)

it's just brilliant, brilliant writing and these are themes that are never brought up in JRPGs or even RPGs in general. the writing and the world are relatable for the most part, and the parts thats made up are done tastefully and clever enough with enough believable made up reality that totally hold the suspension of disbelief.

at one side you got totally grounded stuff like industrial revolution, class warfare, politics and the grey and grey morality of war. on the other side, you got mechs and dragons and device the size of a phone that can summon fireballs and glaciers and shit and it works.

YES.

3 is really important so far, without some of the things they try to foreshadow, some context will be lost. not much, but it just adds to its depth.

That's extremely well-said, apollo, and I agree 300%. :)

As far as we're aware there isn't one coming anytime soon. I wouldn't expect it until 2020 or so.

It's out in Japan. There's no new on a western release date. Although Cold Steel 1 and 2 took about 2 years each to get released. If that stays the same for Cold Steel 3 that means a late 2019 release.

Neither XSEED or NISA have announced anything pertaining to a localization of Cold Steel 3

And even if either announce that they'll be working on it this year, it's highly unlikely that it'll be out in 2019

And there's the fact that the story is gonna be disjointed to us because we don't have Zero/Azure

So yeah Cold Steel 3 never

But I'll brush up on my Japanese and play thru Zero/Azure Evo this summer

What are you basing that on? From what I understand Xseed announced the PS3/Vita version of Cold Steel in June 2015, and it was released December 2015.

From what I was told by friends who played it, Cold Steel 3 is massive in terms of text, even compared to normal

"Massive" isn't a particularly useful description. Are we talking 2, 3,4 times the size of Cold Steel?

Holy damn shitn just reached the ending ( i think theres gonna be an epilogue or something) but still

Holy shit.
Rufus is ironblood
Osborne is alive
Rean is Osborne's biological son
And based on the ebding slides, i guess millium and altina is like renne? With them being connected and all.

And crow is dead.

Fucking hell. Nobody could've expected that.

Holy shit.

Also RIP's crossbell's independence
