Were you planning on finally getting around to Cold Steel 1 + 2?

Did you pick up Trails in the Sky the 3rd in the summer sale?

Are you caught up with all the official English releases and decided to play the rough fan translations of the Crossbell games?

You have 90 days to make plans and get yourself all caught up. You can do it.

I've preordered it, but if I don't have time to play Zero and Ao beforehand, I will simply wait. Doubt CS4 is any time soon. Hopefully the updated Zero translation will be ready before or around CS3's release.

Also, they just announced Volume 1 of Marvel Masterworks: Dazzler.

But you have about 250 days to get ready for that.

You could start with either Trails in the Sky or Trails of Cold Steel. Trails in the Sky consists of two games - Sky and SC - that tell one complete story, while the 3rd game is a coda with a new protagonist that connects it to the wider world. If you start with Cold Steel, it's highly recommended you go back and play the (currently untranslated officially) Crossbell games after Cold Steel 2 and before Cold Steel 3.

Are Zero and Azure both getting improved translations at some point?

I'll probably just wait around for those and rock with the true chronological order. My backlog's big enough right now as it is.

Zero is getting an edit, but according to the lead editor it will be unlikely before CS3.

Azure's edit is years out.

A group is working on Zero right now but iirc they recently put out a statement saying it won't be done in time for CS3. Azure isn't quite as dire so once the Zero edit is done, it's totally fine to play through both games.

I'm playing them now for the sake of being ready for Cold Steel 3 Infinity War but I'll replay them when the better translations are out since they'll have Turbo mode implemented as well

So what is the order of these games?

Trails in the Sky 1/2/3 > Trails from Zero > Trails to Azure > Trails of Cold Steel 1/2/3/4

Best place to start is Sky, second best place to start is Cold Steel 1 if newer games catch your attention more (though if you get into the series you'll want to go back and play the others anyway because they are connected).

Sky 1 is 40 hours

The rest are 60-100 depending on how much you do

Yeah they tend to be 60+ hours but the exact count can vary wildly depending on how into the game and world you get.

I spent hours in every game just making rounds talking to NPCs for instance (most NPCs in Trails are actual characters that tend to have their own mini plot arcs) but that is definitely totally optional and I'm just insane.

Youre not insane if its a feature of the game! It means they expected people to do it! Or the designers are insane too.

Puke.

It is the deepest lore of any jrpg series out there. Like I said Cold Steel 3 and its sequel Cold Steel 4 are basically the series equivalent of Infinity war and endgame

Not even! There's still an undetermined amount of time to catch up before Cold Steel 4 is translated. It's a tall ask sure, but just think of it like tackling a long-running, deeply-satisfying book series. Sure, you'll be playing this in favour of newer, shinier games, but it'll be worth the commitment, and at the end everything you were interested in will be cheaper. It's a win-win!
