by all that is holy I summon Sephiroley

Lot of heart. I enjoyed it a lot especially considering how few people worked on the game. Can't wait for whatever Studio Sai's next project will be.

In terms of story development the game was all killer no filler... until you get to act 2 which felt like a grind to get through at times. That said, the finale and epilogue more than made up for any pacing woes I felt. The music is still awesome and the gameplay is as engaging as ever.

Overall: After putting some time into my final thoughts, I believe that Cold Steel 2 does have some better story beats than the first game, but 1's pacing felt more gradual whereas 2 can be a bit all over the place thanks to that second act (which still does have great emotional story beats I'll admit).

It was aight. Kinda forgot to log it so… oops

As someone who had not played the previous Trails games, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I was able to grasp when it came to the worldbuilding and history of Erobonia. The cast of characters is a mixed bag with some being great, and others having very little meaningful things to say. *The soundtrack has nothing but bangers and rivals some of my favorite gaming soundtracks such as FF7 and Mass Effect.

TL;DR, Wind!
