The more I think about Cold Steel 3, the worse it actually is especially coming from Cold Steel 4 and Reverie, with the former being one of the worst JRPGs experiences ever, while the latter being a massive redemption arc for Trails and a apology letter for Cold Steel 4 incompetence as well being my personal favourite Trails game.

It started off strong, but slowly got worse by every chapter.
While I do enjoy instructor Rean, Ash, Musse and Altina as characters, the game unfortunately had to bring Kurt and Juna with the latter being one of my most hated JRPG characters ever.

The game just unnecessarily drags and barely gets straight to the point, until the finale where we get introduced to arguably the worst evil plotline I've seen in the JRPG genre, which ultimately plagued Cold Steel 4 pathetic existence.
