Trails of Cold Steel IV contains both my favorite moments of the Erebonia arc, and my least favorite moments of the arc. This game sold me on Fie after not really liking her for three games, but other parts of the game like the handling of past series protagonists just fell flat. Relationships between characters that were forming during Cold Steel III were offered up on the altar of the Mean Rean Machine's ever-growing harem, but at least Falcom knew to limit his conquest to characters from the Erebonia arc.

The story and characters really carry the game, which is sad since there's the potential for a neat combat system here. You explore dungeons from a top-down perspective, but the battles are from a side-scrolling perspective and it plays like an action-RPG , but even on harder difficulties you never need to do more than spam charged attacks to win.
