Cold Steel III is probably my favorite game in the Erebonia arc. The new Class VII is much smaller than the Class VII of the first two games, so they actually get time to develop as characters. Rean's hesitancy to rely on power despite his desire to protect those he cares about is a much more interesting dynamic for a teacher than a student, making him a more interesting character in III and IV than he was in the first two games. The fishing system from I and II was better than the one Falcom made for this game, though.
Gameplay's entertaining but broken as shit, story's mostly filler and certain characters, scenes, and elements run roffshod on the series' continuity. Music's really good though.
