I am looking forward to seeing more of all these cool characters. I just started Sky the 3rd btw. The games is apparently very short and I already installed Zero with the Geofront patch. I managed to buy it for just under 10 euros. Pretty cheap for a game like that. And since you played Ao: Do you know how I can get my hands or rather harddrive on that game? I can probably play it on English with the patch from Geofront, but actually getting the game seems very difficult. And you always sing that games praises, so I totally want to play it. Any tip where I can get the game legally? In a way it works with Geofronts patch? I would need a site that allows paypal, since us Germans usually don't have credit cards. I can't wait to play Crossbell and Erebonia Arcs! I just got a new PC for that also. I'm pretty sure my laptop probably won't be able to handle CS 3&4 with it's hardware. I hope the Calvard is ok with my new computer. I still have so much to play!
@@Nikita_Akashya The geofront patch that is currently available is only for Zero. They are currently working on Ao and work is moving quickly. As of right now, there is no legal way to play Ao in English. Maybe finish Sky the 3rd and Zero and by the time you're done with those the official geofront Trails to Azure will be out. If not, you will need a psp emulator, and you can find the english patched ROM fairly easily by googling ao no kiseki english. Be aware, however, that the original translation is nowhere near the quality of the geofront localization. It is playable and easy enough to understand but it is only a rough translation, not a localization.
Obtaining a legal copy is a little more complicated with Ao because it was never released on pc in japan due to poor sales of Zero (Japanese gamers just don't/didn't like PC gaming much at all and have a strong preference for handheld consoles). I believe it is the Chinese release that geofront is working on and we will eventually need to buy, but as I said there is no English patch for it yet. From the looks of things I'd guess were in the window of 3 months to release maybe a little longer.
@@mattmilliken1510 Thanks friend. I guess I will do just as you said and play Sky 3 and then Zero. It should take me while to beat. But if Ao is still not finished until then, I can just replay Tales of Vesperia. Or Grandia. I have enough to last me a long while. I'm just happy I managed to get Zero. Installing Ao should work with the help of the Geofrint patch and a guide. I hope more people can play these games with the patches. And of course I hope for more Trails fans in general. The start of Sky 1 was indeed slow, but now I'm hooked and I'm never getting out. I'm just glad installing Zero worked somehow. Even with my not very advanced knowledge on technology. It's not bad, but most people know more than me. I was freezing the whole night btw. But now I should be able to play a bit more. My laptop was working a lot yesterday. After Crossbell I still have Coldsteel to get through. I hope it takes long enough for them to release Hajimari in the west. Then I can play that after CS 4. These games are just so great. I hooe the fanbase grows a lot in the future.
I was on the fence with Alan since Hajimari gives more info on whether this could follow through or not. And I was keeping my commentary fixed purely up till CS4.
@@GiordanDiodato maybe it's because they were the OG characters, the ones i started the journey with. But i'll always be a sucker for Estelle and the Liberl group. I enjoyed seeing them in 3D in CSIV, but i wish we could get more and more of them. Sadly the Trails series is not so popular that it will get a remake, but it would have been awesome to hope in a 3D remake of older Liberl and Crossbell games.
I played Reverie and then played Trails the 3rd. I am heartbroken by how lifeless Estelle and Joshua come off in the later games compared to their Sky counterparts.
Their arc has only just begun, really. Hell, 3rd even finished with Estelle and the others promising that they'll meet again. Plus, I want to have a protagonist that has a personality again, I'm tired of meek anime boys who get all the girls.
Nielsen is, I believe, a top candidate for the identity of the First Anguis. He definitely has a unique feel to him that would serve him well as one of the top people in Ouroboros. I’m not entirely sure if his actions thus far line up with that role, but there’s probably an explanation for that. I’m excited to see how things play out for him regardless
Anguis like enforcers are pretty much free to do whatever as long as it contributes in some way to the overall plan laid out by the GM. So it wouldn't surprise me if he's involved in some way - though it would be a shock to the system to see it actually confirmed.
@@Terranigma23 An interesting possibility, though if that is indeed the case, then in his side quest in IV Thomas either didn’t know or didn’t care to disclose that bit of information. I’d personally put my money down on Anguis, although I suppose it’s also possible that he’s something else entirely. Or maybe he’s just a normal, albeit somewhat mysterious reporter. Who can say?
@@TheKisekiNut Oh definitely. Btw, I just watched the Ouroboros scene after the credits of IV, and I am 95% certain that the First Anguis’s voice is the same as Nielsen’s.
Campanella has to be the most bizarre character in the series. Been around from close to the beginning but we still know about as much about him as we did when we started. His backstory should be real interesting.
@@alanwattie6093 Don't even know how strong he actually is. He never seems to take any fight seriously and enjoys toying with people more than trying to kill them. Doesn't even seem to get pleasure out of killing anyone.
@@KenKen-um9bf and i feel like its not a glossed over detail but potentially incredibly telling that at the end of SC Kevin did not attack him after dealing with Weissman. Of course theres the potential that kevin just missed that the aureole was still infused in the staff, but seeing as he is one of the highest ranking Gralsritter, i dont really want to believe that he would make such a huge blunder when he and most other people on his level are able to notice much more subtle stuff, but rather that he noticed instead that fighting now would pose a very real threat to himself, both because of campanellas potential power and the liber ark losing its powersource and him not being able to overpower campanella fast enough at least to recover the aureole - if at all, not taking his potentially only chance of recovering one of the septerrions of all things. Not to mention his designation as the "Fool" considering tarot card archetypes.... So i could definitly buy into the idea that he might actually be THE strongest enforcer of ouroboros rather than loewe or mcburn, potentially maybe even because of that special relation to the grandmaster, but that is a story for a far off game in the future to uncover.
@@KenKen-um9bf Well, Campanella is the number 0. The "Fool" is often the main character of the story. It also symbolizes the true beginning of the story. However, every "beginning" is also an "end". And the one event in the history of the lore that would serve as both the "Beginning" and the "End" would be the Great Collapse. We know that Campanella isn't nearly as young as he appears, so it wouldn't surprise me if he existed prior to the Collapse. Possibly even one of the primary factors that lead to it.
For mine, Campanella seems to be linked with the "Wind Tribe" and the Sep-terrion of Air. Just look at their arts and crafts, the fact that they float around the battlefield etc. Maybe they are the holy beast of Air (although I suppose Roselia would have been able to identify them if that was the case) or a fairy as described in the book of mythical creatures in Thors (Kiseki 1)?
Haven't finished watching yet but I am absolutely looking forward to seeing a lot of characters in Kuro, characters like Zin and Anelace are always welcome :)
I'm semi-convinced that she's a manifestation of Aidios or from the Great Beyond like McBurn. I kept waiting for some reveal in CS4... No idea if anything happens in Hajimari.
@@goodthings2life they hinted that something strange is going on with her so many times in CSIV and then just ignored it. I was hoping for some kind of reveal. Anything. But it was just Beryl being Beryl.
I really think Nielsen is an Anguis. May be just reaching though, or at the least a sort of connection to Ouroborous... he is a rare character who you feel knows too much but you always still feel like he is with holding information.
Spoiler: I find it hilarious that these characters haven't had there stories finished yet and yet Anton has. Hope he still shows up in the future though.
Don't forget that Ricky has amnesia or did they fix that in CS4? If its still hasn't been fix, I expect Anton and Ricky is on Calvard with a reason trying to restore his memories or something.
If you think about it, he has more game appearances than any of the other ones. I believe 6 or 7, and Campanella was in 5. WAIT!! Does he have the most game appearances out of all the characters in the series?! Edit: No, I thought about it and it must be Olivert
I mean, there could be more to anton than we know and notice, especially considering what we know about people who only or at least very frequently appear in doubles in places where they objectively dont belong..... Especially considering Ricky being amnesiac might be a very valid reason for them to return and maybe actually get a real role for once, but only time will tell for that one lmao
if we do get EIN in the calvard arc, I hope Toval is also around for those moments Edit: This is a great list. I hope we some some of these come into Kuro no kiseki
Since we are going down the theory rabbit hole, I think calvard will have the septerrions of water and wind (basing it on the concept of water and wind forces of Feng Shui) and the church having the Septerrion of Time.
Would it be possible that North Ambria had the Time Septerrion and it was by degenerating that it caused every life to stop by the mean of the Salt Pale ? Or did I miss the whole explaining behind this one ?
@@RiriSion It is possible. I think the Calvard ark (more specifically the relationship between McBurn and Camapnella) will have to explain the reason for The Salt Pale incident. I stand by my church theory only because they have been foretold to have a bigger involvement in the future. I have bigger ideas, but not enough space here.
I'm so excited for more Cedric since he's no longer an asshole due to the curse. Plus his skills have significantly improved since he was the top student of Thors Its exciting because he now has a chance to do a Olivier style arc where he hides his identity. Even if he doesn't do that, he'll still be a bad ass Enforcer.
Especially since he seems to have something going on with shirley. They are both such different characters especially once the prince came back to his senses that I am really excited to see how they will affect one another.
You know what might make a good idea for a video (or series)? Ranking trails music! Could even break it up like town themes for one, battle themes for another, and yet field/dungeon themes for another. Just a thought. Keep on, dude!
Nice video. I agree with all the choices, I just have to add Richard to the list. But my top 3 would be: -Nielsen( if he is not an Anguis it would be a surprise for me) -Beryl(as you said there is no logic to her, so maybe she has something to do with the great beyond) -Zin(I really liked Zin and I was surprised that he did not make an appearance in CSIV)
Zane* LOL PSP FC crew, where we at?? YES BERYL! This character is a huge ? in the best way possible. Honestly, probably the character I'm most interested in seeing more of, and my favorite CS NPC for sure, maybe the whole series.
Beryl is one of the most infuriating characters for me simply because she's so damn interesting and Falcom refuses to give me more info on her lol. I recently decided she's the Tom Bombadil of the trails series. A physical manifestation of zemuria that's essentially beyond truly comprehending. Apt comparison or no? I don't know what the heck to make of her.
It would be kind of a funny troll if Beryl appears in future arcs and is never explained even when the trails series ends. "I dont know what to tell you, she is just weird"
Zin and Kilika have been confirmed to be in Kuro. Also, Rean could be appearing in Kuro as well. No word on Walter, though. Personally i would like to see Nial and Dorothy return, but with Nial's actor dead that seems very unlikely.
Nielsen is either the First Angius or has some connection to Ourobouros kind of like the doll maker in Zero/Ao. The fact he had the last Black Record, and of course the secret ending in CS4, raised too many alarms.
@The Kiseki Nut What would you think about playing with Cedric as the MC of future Trails game? I think it'd be a pretty interesting take showing a fallen prince rise as an Enforcer aiding the Grandmaster in bringing about the Orpheus Final Plan?
He'd fit well as a party member where he'd hide his identity like his brother did. the Erobonian Prince appearing in Calvard would make for a really interesting plot.
I hope the series get´s a bit darker again with the upcoming Calvard Arc. Idk if it´s the graphics, but the stakes felt a lot higher in the games previous to the Cold Steel Arc.
@@RiriSion NisA has 0 influence on any of the actual content in the jp versions of the games. Coldsteel being bad is mostly due to it being a 4 part series with issues that spiral out of control as it goes on. Bond events replace meaningful story integration of character story lines. Way too many characters exist in the hero party to the point where its only natural that some get 0 characterization in 1 or more or all games. Dialogue writing is at an all due to how fast these games got cranked out and due to how huge they are, NisA shares some blame for their bad localization/translation that needed multiple patches to be serviceable, but the original script is far from fine. Coldsteel loves to do this exposition thing were a character says a variation of this: "Oh wow that was amazing but I guess I should expect nothing less of (character name) the (character title) who (thing that they did in previous game)." Coldsteel pretty much sweeps its problems under the rug till they become too big to hide and CS4 is a very messy clean up. CS3 sets up a very interesting premise for the final game that gets entirely retconned.
Well they did everything they could during Cold steel 3 and 4 to hint at the characters we were going to see again in the calvard arc. All those "partners that couldn't make it because they were busy elsewhere" : Rixia, Wazy, Noel, Kevin, Ries, Zin, Anelace will probably all appear in Kuro or later in my opinion, and that includes Luciola and Walter as well as Kilika (even if the last 5 seem pretty obvious anyway)
obviously mcBurn is one the most intriguing because of the lore it opens up but i'm glad to see Marcel on this list. He is one of the most intriguing character in the whole franchise for me....but in the long run, i'm not sure he is really there to help you. He is probably there to "guide" you. My theory is that in the long run, we will eventually learn that is one the the anguis (would not be suprised if he was even the first anguis) and that he defected from the church too. Might be only a feeling but, that is what my guts says
CS4 spoilers as well. Maybe roselia, as the divine beast of fire she could very well play a part in future events if the world is ever in immediate danger. As a second generation divine beast if she also has a connection with aidios, seeing as it's said aidios is who created the divergent laws, if they are ever threatened she may have to fight to keep them intact whether it means she could have to fight her friends like Emma and rean despite not wanting to, or just help rean and co. protect them. Also I hope for more information on the grand master herself of course.
My speculations are Campanella is a warden created by the GM (Nayuta no Kiseki). Beryl and Luciola are members of clan connected to the septerion of wind( both have clairvoyance, fast travel, guardian spirits, worked as Mishelem fortune tellers). Anelace I want to return and team up with Laura and Duvalie.
I was thinking Leo E. Lorentz (the other student council member at Jenis with Lechter, Lucy and Kloe) as they all important people in different countries as of Cold Steel 4. There's whoever's in charge of the foreign half of Erebonian intelligence, he was mentioned near the end of Cold Steel 4 apparently giving Richard a lot of trouble.
By the time of this post Kuro already developed two installments, but I would personally love to see time skipped versions of new class 7. If anything, I'm surprised they didn't give Juna her own follow-up game similar to Kevin's: she embodies the best traits of Lloyd, Estelle, and to a certain degree Rean, so passing the torch to her would have made sense. At least make her a playable character in the future to include more of a connection to the first half of the series, like make her an antagonist to Van
Can we just agree that Eryn is surpringly accessible beryl And even Rex got in without Emma's help despite it being Tucked between dimensions as Renne Said
Beryl is the character Im looking forward the most because we don't know much, mcburn we kinda have hints here an there also I want to know the backstory of duvalie she said she was born as a noble in a different country that also have a class system
At this point, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that Campanella isn't human, at least not entirely. Their power, trickster persona, seemingly-unchanging appearance, that weird thing in CS4 about their motivations that you noted, it all amounts to someone or something very "other." Right now, my money is on either a Holy Beast or a Sept-Terrion, unless McBurn's true nature/personality from CS4 provides a hint in another direction. I suspect we'll see some more hints as to their true nature in the Kuro games, but any real revelations won't come until the franchise as a whole hits its big climax (probably around the same time Ein Selnate gets a major role and the Grandmaster's true identity/plan is revealed).
In any other franchise someone like Anelace would be the main character and Estelle a secondary. Sword wielder, descendant of a hugely important character and fighting style, general cinnamon bun. Definitely want to see more of her, but it's a testament to Trails' writing that they could make her such a peripheral character and focus instead on a more "working class" protagonist like Estelle.
I'm hoping for R&A agents to make an appearance at least on Kuro No Kiseki. Plus the Sky 3rd orphanage door episode. I don't believe Falcom made that door just for fun purposes. I refuse to, there must be something significant in there.
I hope Falcom lets Kevin and toval return at some point. Not because they have so much more to tell but because I feel so bad for this guys how they were treated in the games. Toval has only a big role in the books and Kevin had pretty much only one game to shine and Falcom completely ignored him for the cold steel arc. I really hope Kevin comes back at some point
Kevin got to crash a merkaba into aion beta in one of the most hype moments in the series. I get wanting more of him but he is certainly not underrepresented.
Not going to watch the rest of this video cause I still haven't played CS4. Just came to see if Anelace was in the list. Anelace is like that small yakuza dude in the Simpsons. She's just standing there and everyone is waiting for her to something awesome.
Honestly I personally think Nielsen carries an artifact on him. I also believe he’s a member of the Gralsritter. He’s a little too perceptive and capable and I believe him carrying an artifact could have something to do with it. I don’t have anything to back that up call it a hunch lol As for the fool I wouldn’t doubt it if he is shown to be a homunculus or a woman🤣 Beryl a sept-terrion (I don’t know why lol) or a liaison from the great beyond. As stated I don’t have any evidence for what I say just fun guesses and scenarios I could picture like Anelace being the star of a candy crush like mini game due to a side quest🤣
While we have done with rean always show more face in 5th game. He have some business in chalvard for searching his master too. I know anelace,cassius and arois want to search yun kafai but rean have more chance on it
I agree with all of this, however I personally dont think Beryl is going to be more important. I always viewed her as a funny NPC. Also, I feel like Renne still has unfinished business, that being finally revealing herself to the Hayworths.
i realy hope we get so more of the fool he realy cought my intrest in cold steel 4 i though he was a fun character before but 4 made me intrested in him i also wont to see beryl beceaus she was one of my faverite npc's, analece would be cool too she is stil my faverite girl from sky and i also wont to see cedric again i was lauging at this guy until the end where he decides to be good charackter
that intro xD poor zin man. i never really noticed that he got shafted in the story department, didnt even get anything in sky 3rd. not that i mind as i find hes character really boring but still. gotta feel sorry for the man
I wonder if Campendalla has any connection with McBurn backstory, since he got his memory back. That being said his mark on his face could bring up the another Cult group like the ones from Hajimari escape from or separate from the church. He's loyal to the GM, during the attack on liberal he sent Cassius out to deal with jaegers and the D/G cult which the timelines fits before the Crossbell arc begins. Since they are obsessive with the next phrase of their plan & the erebonia emperor knew all about the black records history and stuff, just like Nielsen. Yet we know little of the Epstein foundation even tho Joachim Guenter turn himself into a demon. So add McBurn thx to his blue hair as well as Tio Plato( since she was the only survivor) McBurn I believe came before the D;G cult was created in response the other Anguis mention Thousand Oath breaker could be related to stealing Epstein work for advance tech or something do to with the GM in regards to the church.
Kevin and Richard pls. I'm also hoping for some Moon Door 5 connections with the Sept Terrion of Time at some point. Definitely agreed with most of everything else though. Luciola is one of my least favorite characters in the series though. Her entire character arc and backstory feels incredibly contrived and ridiculous to me personally. Walter wasn't that great either, but I think he has way better chances of returning, and being improved by it. Luciola is kinda unsalvageable imo.
He's a shoe in for Calvard, but whether he gets an extension to his story remains to be seen. I think he's gonna be another Toval in that regard, sitting on the sidelines.
Nielsen is someone powerful. After you complete the quest of The last book with him in cs4, go to the town with the giant lake and watch Reans reaction when talking to him and how Rean wonders why he himself isn’t taking action as rean confirms his strong aura. I’d bet he’s either top dog in the septian church or is the mysterious #1 in ouroboros. Both him and number ones voice actor sound very similar.

Spoilers up to CS4 here.
I am looking forward to seeing more of all these cool characters. I just started Sky the 3rd btw. The games is apparently very short and I already installed Zero with the Geofront patch.

With Anelace, there’s also the fact that they gave her new artwork and a new outfit. I can’t believe that they would do that for no reason.
Let's hope so! I kinda missed her in crossbell/erebonia

@@goodthings2life they hinted that something strange is going on with her so many times in CSIV and then just ignored it. I was hoping for some kind of reveal. Anything. But it was just Beryl being Beryl.
My theory is her and Luciola are from group connected to wind septerion. Both have clairvoyance, guardian spirits, fast travel.
pretty sure she's the Grandmaster
I really think Nielsen is an Anguis. May be just reaching though, or at the least a sort of connection to Ouroborous... he is a rare character who you feel knows too much but you always still feel like he is with holding information.
Spoiler:
I find it hilarious that these characters haven't had there stories finished yet and yet Anton has. Hope he still shows up in the future though.
Don't forget that Ricky has amnesia or did they fix that in CS4?
If its still hasn't been fix, I expect Anton and Ricky is on Calvard with a reason trying to restore his memories or something.
If you think about it, he has more game appearances than any of the other ones. I believe 6 or 7, and Campanella was in 5.
WAIT!! Does he have the most game appearances out of all the characters in the series?!
Edit: No, I thought about it and it must be Olivert
@@arcanegale285 yeah and Olivert has a substantial role in all of those games too.
@@t-vann48 well, the basis of the whole cold steel arc is Olivert himself. I made Class 7.
I mean, there could be more to anton than we know and notice, especially considering what we know about people who only or at least very frequently appear in doubles in places where they objectively dont belong.....
Especially considering Ricky being amnesiac might be a very valid reason for them to return and maybe actually get a real role for once, but only time will tell for that one lmao
A fantastic pick of characters! All this speculation makes me more hungry for Kuro no Kiseki news though ahah.
if we do get EIN in the calvard arc, I hope Toval is also around for those moments
Edit: This is a great list. I hope we some some of these come into Kuro no kiseki
Since we are going down the theory rabbit hole, I think calvard will have the septerrions of water and wind (basing it on the concept of water and wind forces of Feng Shui) and the church having the Septerrion of Time.
Would it be possible that North Ambria had the Time Septerrion and it was by degenerating that it caused every life to stop by the mean of the Salt Pale ? Or did I miss the whole explaining behind this one ?
@@RiriSion It is possible. I think the Calvard ark (more specifically the relationship between McBurn and Camapnella) will have to explain the reason for The Salt Pale incident. I stand by my church theory only because they have been foretold to have a bigger involvement in the future. I have bigger ideas, but not enough space here.
I'm so excited for more Cedric since he's no longer an asshole due to the curse. Plus his skills have significantly improved since he was the top student of Thors
Its exciting because he now has a chance to do a Olivier style arc where he hides his identity.
Even if he doesn't do that, he'll still be a bad ass Enforcer.
Seeing his event in Hajimari kinda softened me on him, and I'm actualky looking forward to him now.
Especially since he seems to have something going on with shirley.
They are both such different characters especially once the prince came back to his senses that I am really excited to see how they will affect one another.
You know what might make a good idea for a video (or series)? Ranking trails music! Could even break it up like town themes for one, battle themes for another, and yet field/dungeon themes for another. Just a thought. Keep on, dude!
I second this
Nice video.
I agree with all the choices, I just have to add Richard to the list.
But my top 3 would be:
-Nielsen( if he is not an Anguis it would be a surprise for me)
-Beryl(as you said there is no logic to her, so maybe she has something to do with the great beyond)
-Zin(I really liked Zin and I was surprised that he did not make an appearance in CSIV)
Zane* LOL PSP FC crew, where we at??
YES BERYL! This character is a huge ? in the best way possible. Honestly, probably the character I'm most interested in seeing more of, and my favorite CS NPC for sure, maybe the whole series.
Beryl is one of the most infuriating characters for me simply because she's so damn interesting and Falcom refuses to give me more info on her lol.
I recently decided she's the Tom Bombadil of the trails series. A physical manifestation of zemuria that's essentially beyond truly comprehending. Apt comparison or no? I don't know what the heck to make of her.
It would be kind of a funny troll if Beryl appears in future arcs and is never explained even when the trails series ends.
"I dont know what to tell you, she is just weird"
Zin and Kilika have been confirmed to be in Kuro. Also, Rean could be appearing in Kuro as well.
No word on Walter, though.
Personally i would like to see Nial and Dorothy return, but with Nial's actor dead that seems very unlikely.
Walter was in a trailer.
Nielsen is either the First Angius or has some connection to Ourobouros kind of like the doll maker in Zero/Ao. The fact he had the last Black Record, and of course the secret ending in CS4, raised too many alarms.
And the fact the 1st Anguis and he have the same voice actor in both Japanese and English.
Obviously Anton's story won't end until Trails as a series ends. I hope he finds true love along the way.
I’m calling it now. Series final scene will be Anton marrying the Grandmaster 😝
@@alanwattie6093 the real plot twist will be Anton marrying Ricky
@@TheNOODLER100 Or Duvalie :D
i'm still in the process of finishing cold steel 1 but goddamn i love this series especially laura
@The Kiseki Nut What would you think about playing with Cedric as the MC of future Trails game? I think it'd be a pretty interesting take showing a fallen prince rise as an Enforcer aiding the Grandmaster in bringing about the Orpheus Final Plan?
He'd fit well as a party member where he'd hide his identity like his brother did.
the Erobonian Prince appearing in Calvard would make for a really interesting plot.
I hope the series get´s a bit darker again with the upcoming Calvard Arc. Idk if it´s the graphics, but the stakes felt a lot higher in the games previous to the Cold Steel Arc.
If I understood correctly, NIS america was part of the Cold Steel projet, and not before that ... But it could something else entirely
@@RiriSion NisA has 0 influence on any of the actual content in the jp versions of the games.
Coldsteel being bad is mostly due to it being a 4 part series with issues that spiral out of control as it goes on.
Bond events replace meaningful story integration of character story lines.
Way too many characters exist in the hero party to the point where its only natural that some get 0 characterization in 1 or more or all games.
Dialogue writing is at an all due to how fast these games got cranked out and due to how huge they are, NisA shares some blame for their bad localization/translation that needed multiple patches to be serviceable, but the original script is far from fine.
Coldsteel loves to do this exposition thing were a character says a variation of this: "Oh wow that was amazing but I guess I should expect nothing less of (character name) the (character title) who (thing that they did in previous game)."
Coldsteel pretty much sweeps its problems under the rug till they become too big to hide and CS4 is a very messy clean up.
CS3 sets up a very interesting premise for the final game that gets entirely retconned.
Thanks for the precisions
Well they did everything they could during Cold steel 3 and 4 to hint at the characters we were going to see again in the calvard arc. All those "partners that couldn't make it because they were busy elsewhere" : Rixia, Wazy, Noel, Kevin, Ries, Zin, Anelace will probably all appear in Kuro or later in my opinion, and that includes Luciola and Walter as well as Kilika (even if the last 5 seem pretty obvious anyway)
obviously mcBurn is one the most intriguing because of the lore it opens up but i'm glad to see Marcel on this list. He is one of the most intriguing character in the whole franchise for me....but in the long run, i'm not sure he is really there to help you. He is probably there to "guide" you.
My theory is that in the long run, we will eventually learn that is one the the anguis (would not be suprised if he was even the first anguis) and that he defected from the church too. Might be only a feeling but, that is what my guts says
Nielsen's very interesting, and I like the theories that circulate him.
The Eight Leaves partitioners should unite.
CS4 spoilers as well.
Maybe roselia, as the divine beast of fire she could very well play a part in future events if the world is ever in immediate danger. As a second generation divine beast if she also has a connection with aidios, seeing as it's said aidios is who created the divergent laws, if they are ever threatened she may have to fight to keep them intact whether it means she could have to fight her friends like Emma and rean despite not wanting to, or just help rean and co. protect them. Also I hope for more information on the grand master herself of course.
Aidios didn’t create Divergent Law. The Laws are rules that Aidios power hold no jurisdiction over..
@@jasonliu159 Thanks, I didn't know that.
I'm pretty sure Zin and Kilika gonna appear in the Calvard arc
My speculations are Campanella is a warden created by the GM (Nayuta no Kiseki). Beryl and Luciola are members of clan connected to the septerion of wind( both have clairvoyance, fast travel, guardian spirits, worked as Mishelem fortune tellers). Anelace I want to return and team up with Laura and Duvalie.
I was thinking Leo E. Lorentz (the other student council member at Jenis with Lechter, Lucy and Kloe) as they all important people in different countries as of Cold Steel 4. There's whoever's in charge of the foreign half of Erebonian intelligence, he was mentioned near the end of Cold Steel 4 apparently giving Richard a lot of trouble.
By the time of this post Kuro already developed two installments, but I would personally love to see time skipped versions of new class 7.
If anything, I'm surprised they didn't give Juna her own follow-up game similar to Kevin's: she embodies the best traits of Lloyd, Estelle, and to a certain degree Rean, so passing the torch to her would have made sense. At least make her a playable character in the future to include more of a connection to the first half of the series, like make her an antagonist to Van
I think Bearl my be part fey (fairy)
Can we just agree that Eryn is surpringly accessible beryl And even Rex got in without
Emma's help despite it being
Tucked between dimensions as Renne Said
Definitely agree with Anelace and with The Erebonia arc pretty much finished I’m kind of sad we never got to see Her And Rean Duel Each other
Rean's a Divine Blade now so he'll probs win.
I'm 99% sure that Cedric will be the protagonist of the next trails franchise presumably about the stories of jaegers.
I believe Anton will have more to offer.
Beryl is the character Im looking forward the most because we don't know much, mcburn we kinda have hints here an there also I want to know the backstory of duvalie she said she was born as a noble in a different country that also have a class system
At this point, I think it's a pretty safe assumption that Campanella isn't human, at least not entirely. Their power, trickster persona, seemingly-unchanging appearance, that weird thing in CS4 about their motivations that you noted, it all amounts to someone or something very "other." Right now, my money is on either a Holy Beast or a Sept-Terrion, unless McBurn's true nature/personality from CS4 provides a hint in another direction. I suspect we'll see some more hints as to their true nature in the Kuro games, but any real revelations won't come until the franchise as a whole hits its big climax (probably around the same time Ein Selnate gets a major role and the Grandmaster's true identity/plan is revealed).
In any other franchise someone like Anelace would be the main character and Estelle a secondary. Sword wielder, descendant of a hugely important character and fighting style, general cinnamon bun. Definitely want to see more of her, but it's a testament to Trails' writing that they could make her such a peripheral character and focus instead on a more "working class" protagonist like Estelle.
You say working class character, but Estelle is also descended from a bigshot herself, and a general cinnamon bun, as long as you don't misbehave.
All this time and I had no idea Analace who is one of my favorites was Yun Kafais granddaughter. We need. Yun Kafai game goddammit.
It would be great if Beryl was that little girl from Rolent all this time(
Anelace is best, she is favorite, but everybody knows that and just did'nt mind to mention
I'm hoping for R&A agents to make an appearance at least on Kuro No Kiseki.
Plus the Sky 3rd orphanage door episode. I don't believe Falcom made that door just for fun purposes. I refuse to, there must be something significant in there.
Lmao Moon Door 5.
Ah , that little dragon
We need Gralsritter or Ouroboros based Trails game, maybe as Wazy and his squire for Gralsritter or Cedric & Shirley for Ouroboros
I hope Falcom lets Kevin and toval return at some point. Not because they have so much more to tell but because I feel so bad for this guys how they were treated in the games. Toval has only a big role in the books and Kevin had pretty much only one game to shine and Falcom completely ignored him for the cold steel arc. I really hope Kevin comes back at some point
Kevin is a shoe in to return I think, partly due to his role, and partly due to his popularity. I think Falcom would be crazy to not bring him back.
Kevin got to crash a merkaba into aion beta in one of the most hype moments in the series. I get wanting more of him but he is certainly not underrepresented.
Not going to watch the rest of this video cause I still haven't played CS4. Just came to see if Anelace was in the list.
Anelace is like that small yakuza dude in the Simpsons. She's just standing there and everyone is waiting for her to something awesome.
Have fun with CS4
The fact Anelace isn’t a Divine Blade is disturbing enough.
i would love a game with just Mc burn
same. give me protagonist mcburn where we maybe explore the beyond would be fun
Honestly I personally think Nielsen carries an artifact on him. I also believe he’s a member of the Gralsritter. He’s a little too perceptive and capable and I believe him carrying an artifact could have something to do with it. I don’t have anything to back that up call it a hunch lol As for the fool I wouldn’t doubt it if he is shown to be a homunculus or a woman🤣 Beryl a sept-terrion (I don’t know why lol) or a liaison from the great beyond. As stated I don’t have any evidence for what I say just fun guesses and scenarios I could picture like Anelace being the star of a candy crush like mini game due to a side quest🤣
Calvard ark? Wait there's more!!!! We going to the republic next..... Hot dog hell ya
Popular theory Nayuta+nei =Mc burn and Creha= grandmaster
i seriously think Nielsen is the first Anguis, as he's shown up in all 3 arcs this dude HAS to be super important.
That's my exact theory with Anton and Ricky too
@@TheNOODLER100 What if Anton is the anguis that was the boss of kreuger? 4th i think.
Would make sense why he got to date sharon at the end of CS4.
While we have done with rean always show more face in 5th game. He have some business in chalvard for searching his master too. I know anelace,cassius and arois want to search yun kafai but rean have more chance on it
I agree with all of this, however I personally dont think Beryl is going to be more important.
I always viewed her as a funny NPC.
Also, I feel like Renne still has unfinished business, that being finally revealing herself to the Hayworths.
Pretty sure Kondo teased some Beryl lore in the future during an interview after CS4 dropped in Japan.
i realy hope we get so more of the fool he realy cought my intrest in cold steel 4 i though he was a fun character before but 4 made me intrested in him i also wont to see beryl beceaus she was one of my faverite npc's, analece would be cool too she is stil my faverite girl from sky and i also wont to see cedric again i was lauging at this guy until the end where he decides to be good charackter
Honestly we need a sky remake that would be Awesome
that intro xD poor zin man. i never really noticed that he got shafted in the story department, didnt even get anything in sky 3rd. not that i mind as i find hes character really boring but still. gotta feel sorry for the man
Haven't watched the video because CS4 so maybe he said something but to my memory he had his own door
The upcoming new arc "Kuro no Kiseki" will be set in Calvard. There is a high chance he will be there. Along with Kilika and Walter.
@@alumlovescake He did in fact have his own supporting roll in a door in 3rd, to Kilika
Calling it now. Nielsen is a Dominion.
Why does Anelace have an official Hajimari design?
I wonder if Campendalla has any connection with McBurn backstory, since he got his memory back. That being said his mark on his face could bring up the another Cult group like the ones from Hajimari escape from or separate from the church. He's loyal to the GM, during the attack on liberal he sent Cassius out to deal with jaegers and the D/G cult which the timelines fits before the Crossbell arc begins. Since they are obsessive with the next phrase of their plan & the erebonia emperor knew all about the black records history and stuff, just like Nielsen. Yet we know little of the Epstein foundation even tho Joachim Guenter turn himself into a demon. So add McBurn thx to his blue hair as well as Tio Plato( since she was the only survivor) McBurn I believe came before the D;G cult was created in response the other Anguis mention Thousand Oath breaker could be related to stealing Epstein work for advance tech or something do to with the GM in regards to the church.
Was Nielsen in sky? I don't remember him in it
Sky the Third - Schera's episode
@@TheKisekiNut Thanks, I'll have to replay that door :)
@@TheKisekiNut Oh wow, I somehow had never gone upstairs in the cathedral before. I reinstalled the third just to see him
Please tell me a game of falcom that can save anywhere like trils
Kevin and Richard pls. I'm also hoping for some Moon Door 5 connections with the Sept Terrion of Time at some point. Definitely agreed with most of everything else though. Luciola is one of my least favorite characters in the series though. Her entire character arc and backstory feels incredibly contrived and ridiculous to me personally. Walter wasn't that great either, but I think he has way better chances of returning, and being improved by it. Luciola is kinda unsalvageable imo.
I'm betting Zin is still going to be ignored in kuro
He's a shoe in for Calvard, but whether he gets an extension to his story remains to be seen. I think he's gonna be another Toval in that regard, sitting on the sidelines.
Could they release 1-3 sky on console
Versus 13 trails game a fantasy based of reality
No Rixia?
To note to self to watch this again on December 2023 at the very least.
Why? Cuz the 13th game should be coming by in 2024.
Nielsen is an Enforcer. Or an Anguis.
How about trails characters that can defeat mc burn one vs one
Nielsen is someone powerful. After you complete the quest of The last book with him in cs4, go to the town with the giant lake and watch Reans reaction when talking to him and how Rean wonders why he himself isn’t taking action as rean confirms his strong aura. I’d bet he’s either top dog in the septian church or is the mysterious #1 in ouroboros. Both him and number ones voice actor sound very similar.
they are the same voice actor - in both english and japanese versions.
Ok
I'm just gonna put my guess in right now………Beryl is the Grandmaster
Some of the dialog towards the end of cold steel iv makes me think epstein is the most likely candidate for Grandmaster
Anyone else think Epstein is the Grandmaster?
No Scarlet, anyone? Perhaps?
🤔 XD
