Poll of the Day > I have officially elapsed the 100 hour mark in Trails of Cold Steel 4.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Spoilers maybe?
I have been playing JRPGs for the past 25 years, and I can count on my hand the JRPGs I have spent over 100 hours on, however, I to this game, I don't think I have ever played a JRPG with a "100 hour story".

Trails of Cold Steel is now that game. No other game I have ever played has had a single player experience, not counting post game or NG+ content that has lasted longer. The Trails series is notable for having a very long narrative that prevents people from getting into it, but holy shit, I am near the climax of the game, and I don't want it to end, but I'm getting the 100% completion achievements one by one, and finally I'm right in front of the point of no return.

For years, I've had Trails in the Sky SC in my top 5 games, but I think finally, Cold Steel 4 has usurped that right. The second longest Trails game for me was Cold Steel 3 at 99 hours played.

I do not know why we don't see more games like this.
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

You dont know why you dont see more games stretched from 2 to 4 purely so they can have characters meet for 90% of the time and hint at mysteries for 60+ hours, or wars that end in a day with 0 deaths because that would make things too complicated.?

Shush, I'm not supposed to know that yet.
