Current Events > C/D: you wish Trails of Cold Steel 3/4 followed the old Class 7

(+) Yeah! (+)

C...i love them so much

Eh....yes and no, I guess.

I wish the old class had more significance to the plot, but I generally liked the new class 7 and their story.

tbh , and i'm only about to Get Rean back in Part 4 I feel like the only New Class 7 that are relevant to the overall narrative are Musse, kind of, and Ash. I feel like Musse had these whole plans and as soon as you catch up to her and you're like "hey wtf are you doing" she's like "ur right i give up on that now :)" ????? Altina is sort of important, and Juna and Kurt so far have just not been really important beyond their own little characters, which are fine, they just don't really have a role in the plot. It was really bad in CS3 when Ash and Musse join they take the super back seat it seems which sucks because I really like Kurt (the Vander family, specifically).

But overall I agree, I do like the new class 7, I just felt like I really started to vibe with the old class 7 and then they just get taken away from you.

Ehhhh, in the end, I'm fairly okay with it. Old C7 gets to be around for most of the really game in the very, very long CS4, and most if not all of them get to shine at least a few times in there, which is saying a lot since the cast is so bloated.

Yeah, they do take a big back seat in 3, but ultimately, they get a lot of focus in 1/2/4, so that's fine enough in the end.

I hope that turns out to be true... When I went to Crossbell I wanted to take along both Jusis and Alisa because they're my favorite OC7 members but I could only pick one so I chose Jusis. I figured they would have special dialogue but I also brought along Machias who seemed to be more important than Jusis. Jusis didn't even really interact with Rufus when we encountered him. I wonder if Alisa interacts with Sharon if you choose her.

3 basically did

This

It certainly would have helped seeing as how Gaius has zero personality and aside from their families Elliot and Machias have literally no relevance to the plot whatsoever

honestly true.

I like the characters a lot but I wish they contributed in some way but I think that's just how JRPGs are.

Especially because the start of CS1 really makes you think that Rean/Gaius/Elliot are the TRIO!!! I would have liked more development for them.

I do like the new class 7 though.

I'm in the workshop right now and this party I have is so goofy Rean, Celine, Duvalie, and Crow is so random. I really like Duvalie, she's a really funny villain throughout the CS games. I like her a lot she always gives a laugh.

C. Dont particularly like new class 7 that much. Juna is annoying. Kurt and Altina are okay. Ash and Musse are kinda meh.

They were never the main characters of the story. Cold Steel 4 had way too many characters join your party, though. They need to pare it down quite a bit.

Gaius has a personality, he's just very laid-back, chill, and analytical. He doesn't fly off the handle and react in big over-the-top anime way that other characters do.

Elliot and Machias get their moments to shine here and there. Yeah, a lot of their ties to the plot come from their families, but you could argue that for like half of the cast in the end. Not going to get into specifics, but if you really boil it down, a ton of characters are mostly tied in because of families more than anything else.

Very mild spoilers for the game formatting: After a certain point, you have access to both class 7s to make teams with, with very few restrictions except for a few forced characters. You can more or less have whatever party you want for a pretty huge chunk of the game. The game also makes a decent effort to give everyone at least a moment or two to shine in their forced segments, which is saying a lot because the cast is absolutely overwhelmingly massive.

The Cryptids aren't messin' around this time. Also I hate how many sepith you need to max out the orbments. I feel like I have so many slots left to open still and I haven't even made a single quartz yet I don't think. But I want the good shit that I can't equip unless I do this. I wish the game scaled the sepith you get better, I felt like Trails in the Sky did
