On the Finale of Cold Steel II rn, woo!
[rant, tiny spoiler nothing specific]
I'm not as impressed with it as much as Trails in the Sky as Sky was REALLY good at marrying gameplay with story while Cold steel went as far as setting itself up to do it then just not. There's also stuff that just doesn't make sense with the lore. Why can people just 'SENSE' others, there's not magic, except for there is, but in CS1 they really shouldn't have freaked out when someone said "barrier" because there was a magic circle. There's "magic" circles when they use orbments too. There's just a lot of odd inconsistencies where Sky was really good at building on consistence.

I dunno if that's all of your gripes. But all of those have me scratching my head.

The part about sensing someone's presence is pretty self-explanatory, and generally every anime ever (defiantly in Trails in the sky too). Often an experienced martial artist or fighter has that type of awareness.

Magic is VERY different from Orbal Arts. One is mechanical and scientific (and not too powerful in the grand scheme of things) while the other is literal witchcraft. This is stuff you absolutely find out in trails in the sky too.

Generally I don't find these games inconsistent with lore at all. Theres not much point comparing the games to each other. They're all a great time and really pull you into a lively, fleshed out world........Ao and Zero are the best ones by a long shot anyways

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.

Yeah he mentioned that in the article.

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.

Barlos6d ago

But I don't want to. Please don't make me

gold_drake6d ago

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.

shinoff218365d ago

I really hope they can figure out a way to get part 1 and 2 to ps5.
