it kicks your ass especially the coop mode its goated

Risette Twinings has saved me and kiseki. How did they do it...

C route saves the main story from being a prettier Cold Steel 2 (this is always derogatory). The doors/daydreams are what you play this game for and wraps up arcs that cold steel β€œforgets”. Some are good with most are okay at best. The final door sets you up for Kuro/daybreak which are hype.

edit: playing kuro right now Cold steel can suck a fat one for being so incredibly mid

Cold steel is a very messy arc.

The characters from Class VII in general are one-dimensional and are composed of two properties. They love Rean Schwarzer and they have a singular character trait attached to them. There are exceptions and some have a bit more substance but each character can be boiled down to that.

In addition, the bond system and feel wholly separate. Every game feels like they start their relationship from zero and just devalues every previous entry. So the events that are supposed to add character to them just feel hollow or are very surface level like the characters having tea.

The redeeming factors of Cold Steel games are actually everything not related to Class VII. So visiting places like Hamel, characters from both Liberl and Crossbell getting closure, not to mention what has been alluded to with books from previous games.

An overall improvement from the atrocious pacing of CS1 & CS2. It was also way easier to be invested in New Class VII because instead of 11 members its far less. It still pales in comparison to sky and crossbell games but its getting there.

Sharon... 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

This game sucks ass but they made Sharon.

The payoff is actually crazy for this game and pretty much wraps up a lot of loose ends for both Sky & Crossbell games. It would've been a higher rating if they didn't fuck up Sergeant Major Noel Seeker but you know what it is what it is.

game taught me to be a good christian boy or I won't have treasure chest quotes in hell

WERE SO FUCKING BACK

Amazing payoff from Sky FC and still not a fan of hidden sidequests.

This game ruined me i got destroyed by this VN

This game literally has everything I love about fiction

I'd almost dare say it was made for me frfr.

an ambitious game with how it story telling set up but became problematic because of rayark and KIVA couldn't work together and made 3.0 rushed.

the most fun combat system and map design that modern FEs offer and probably ever will.

the only problem is that everything else in the game sux
