The third game in the Erebonia arc, and it's... well made with interesting mechanics but also suffers from some of the more persistent weaknesses of Cold Steel in the writing department. It does well creating a new cast of distinct characters that serve as foils to the previous Class VII but the expansive cast makes it tough for anyone outside the new group to get much focus. The game can also be extremely aimless unfortunately and there is much padding to be had in developing the ongoing plot until it collapses in a massive cliff hanger. The new Brave Order system is cool but the impact it had on gameplay has also made the game very much slanted in the player's favor resulting in an extremely easy experience. Even on Nightmare mode, end game Quartz setups and Wind Blade let me tear through the final bosses without much trouble.

On the whole, I'd say this game is weaker than the two before it but far from a bad game and the plot had a little more focus to it than Cold Steel 2 did. In the series as a whole, the Quality of Life updates make it a better game that Sky FC but I can't say I like it better than anything else in the series. Far from a bad game though and its undemanding gameplay makes it perfect if you're more in for the story than the combat.
