Once upon a time, we would have considered the Super Nintendo or original PlayStation the undisputed leaders when it comes to RPGs. But it's time to enter a new challenger into contention. The Switch is quickly amassing an incredible collection of RPGs of all kinds, from Skyrim and The Witcher 3 to Final Fantasy 7 and Xenoblade Chronicles. The deluge of excellent titles continues with The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 3, which is part of a series making its debut on a Nintendo platform. For more info about The Legend of Heroes franchise and the various Trails sub-series, you can read my primer here. Blazing a trail on Switch, Cold Steel 3 is an absolute role-playing gem, but it takes a little background reading to make it a masterpiece.
TSA's Miguel argues why you need to play Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 now.
Great series I'd encourage people to try out, but I'm not sure you should start with 3.
I've finally got the whole series on ps4/ps5 besides the sky triology. I'm going to play the sky games on steam and move onto the Playstation ones. I've been dying to get into it.
I was going to but 3 and 4 on PS4 but when I read they both were hitting PS5 I just waited. My problem is I have a shit load of games I have to work on.
my issue is that they are still very expensive games and those games are a commitment ha.

Available now on PS5!
I own these games for PS4 but getting this version for PS5 anyway because I love the series. I preordered it at least 6 months ago so I wouldn’t forget. Hopefully they port the first 2 games together next.
NIS Europe has a pretty neat box: https://store.nisaeurope.co...
I already own them on PS4 as well, otherwise I'd get the PS5 version for sure.
