Great game, but a little too generic.

This may be a bit heavy on the anime tropes as far as characters go, but it's a good game with a good story, even if you will probably see the twist coming a mile away. Plays well, with all the settings cranked up to 11, on a four year old laptop. While it's not the Trails in the Sky level of "It'll play on a potato, and not even a very fresh one at that" this game will probably run fine for you on just about anything you would even consider gaming on. The relationship/bonding system is a bit weak, which is sad considering it has some pretty interesting characters that you want to get to know a little better but the personal stories seem like they take a back seat to the MC and his general infalable likability. That is actually where it loses a star, the bonding scenes you have a limited number of chances to experience are what flesh out the game, and needing to choose a set number on each "free day" takes away from the game in my opinion. Honestly, I like Trails in the Sky (and some if the Ys series, better than ToCS1&2, but they're both still great games and totally worth it despite not being the strongest entry in a long running well written series. From playing the whole series it kinda feels like this was an attempt to make a more generic story, have it be more relatable to the general public rather than having a few big fans and a others wondering why we love it so much, but it kinda feels like they couldn't quite pull it off without sacrificing the character development that made the other games so great. Here's to hoping NIS does as good a job (seeing Durante's name is a good sign though) with their port of ToCS3 as XSEED did here, from what I've seen (while trying to avoid spoilers) it seems like the story has really been improved in the newest entry and I'm really looking forward to playing it.

Good, but not great [LIGHT SPOILERS]

I came into Trails of Cold Steel after having finished the Trails in the Sky series. Overall, I found the change in gameplay to be interesting. You actually have to earn your S-Crafts this time, and some characters won't earn theirs until near the end of the story. The number of available crafts is a bit lower as well, although their effects are generally more diverse. The orbal system has been reworked, with the need to link certain orbments to earn more powerful arts having been completely eliminated. This was, for me at least, less fun than in Sky, but to each their own. You can expect a solid sixty hours of gameplay, assuming you're a completionist and you're following the story. It's good for most of that time. However, over the length of the game, there are points where things feel like they're dragging. I bought Steel because I had fun with the quirky dialog and behavior in Sky, and there was quite a bit of that here... however, at times it felt like there were random elements being introduced to pad the play time. The frequent practical exams, the exam questions, and whatnot distracted me from the main story, as did the need to speak to everyone three times a day to ensure you don't miss anything. Even then, you don't really get answers to every question you have. [SPOILERS] Also, right away, I was stricken by just how much darker this game was compared to the earlier series. In Sky, no human characters are said/shown to be killed until the third game, while in Steel you'll see and hear of hundreds of violent deaths by the end of the game. This, I think, was part of the reason I didn't like the story as much. There was less space for humor, with the last few chapters being doom and gloom everywhere. [END SPOILERS] Nonetheless, it's definitely worth a play. Hopefully SEED can get the rights to parts III and IV so that the story can be carried through to the end. With Japanese audio as well, perhaps?

Very good game !

I got the game on a "different" way at first because I wasn't sure if it is worth it or not, and even though the first 10 Minutes were utterly shit because you get thrown into some ugly place with no explanation at all and start fighting with a full party that has lots of skills and such which is very ridicolous the Game started to grow on me. After the first few minutes you actually start with the Story and get a proper and epsecially not annoying tutorial. The Character are mostly likable and the interaction with the Classmates is nicely done. GamesFAQs says Average play time is about 80 hours ... for me it was ~55 which is still A LOT ! The Game is worth every single cents even though the grafic is already kinda outdated they put a lot of effort in text writing and Dubbing.

Wonderful Game

2nd playthru and it's just as fun as before. Not quite as fun as Trails in the Sky but definately a great story.

Love me some legend of heroes

Not a great start but it slowly starts to form into the grat conspiration with a buildup coming from trails in the sky, by the time the second chapter ended I couldn't stop wanting to learn MORE
