Soooo effing stoked~ Literally been waiting years for the official release.
Appreciate the breakdown of Reverie. I'm a massive fan of the Legend of Heroes series so i appreciate the preview. Waiting for localizations and avoiding spoilers is always the hard part.
After finishing trails to azure back in March, I can't wait to conclude the crossbell arc. June-July are going to be an interesting two months with both FF16 and Reverie
Reverie does offer some closure the Crossbell arc but it is definitely favors Cold Steel and Kuro significantly. I would say it fits as an epilogue to Crossbell, with it's main purpose being a sequel to Cold Steel and prequel to Kuro. If you do the side stories, those also act as an epilogue to the first half of the Kiseki series as a whole.
Nah. Reverie knocked 16 out of the park. 😂
This entry is really shaping up to be a good send off to all the beloved cast of Crossbell and Erebonia arcs and I am all for it. Getting to play as everyone and having so much unique stuff to do in the Reverie Corridor is making me even more hyped for the game. It gives me the vibes of Trails in the Sky 3rd and beefed it up with steroids
I've been interested in Trails for a while and jumped in this year, starting with Sky, so I'd love to see more Trails content from you, specially since your channel is one of my favorites in all of the platform simply because of how thorough and well-edited your videos are. TL;DR, please do the Reverie videos you proposed here :p
Great video! Pre ordered the game for my birthday! Its ironic its coming on the 7th of july because my birthday is the 7th of june lol , so exited to play reverie and after that im prepared for kuro
Gawd I love the SSS. Only played the Crossbell Games. I will start Trails of Cold Steel very soon.
Fantastic video! After sleeping on this series, I've finally decided to give it a try! I only own a switch unfortunately so I don't know how many of the games I will have access to. I noted that you wouldn't recommend reverie as anyone's first game in this series so as someone who is starting this series with no prior knowledge of the series at all, what game would you recommend to start with? I'll most likely still pick up reverie and then hold on to it until I become more familiar with the story.
Yeah I would avoid Reverie as a starting point. It requires knowledge on the prior games, especially Cold Steel 1-4, and it would spoil everything before it in major ways.
As for recommendations on where to start:
(1) From the beginning with Trails in the Sky. With this starting point you would play the games in release order: Sky FC, Sky SC, Sky the 3rd, Zero, Azure, CS 1-4, Reverie.
(2) Skip the Sky arc and begin with Zero, following release order above.
(3) Start with Cold Steel 1 and 2 specifically to see if you like the series, and if you do, go back and play through Sky FC through Azure before picking up the rest of the Cold Steel arc, and finally Reverie.
(3) is what I would recommend the most for someone still iffy on if they want to dive headfirst into the series. By just starting with CS1 and 2 you minimize spoilers while still getting a good sense of how the games are structured, their battle systems, how characters are written, etc. At this point, skipping the Sky arc entirely is possible as it has the least impact on the series overall, however that does change with the arc that follows Reverie.
so how will you rate the game personally, those it answer a lot of answers and is the overall story good since its basically the climax
Geez, I need to hurry to beat Cold Steel 4. Reverie is releasing so soon
Right there with ya
I've beaten cold steel 3 and 4. Also best Zero now I'm on Azure in chapter 3. I've been very excited for this release myself.
the crossover system remember me from suikoden 3 the chapter system
Gd looking for thisy guy
Definitely goin be usong this to help get readjusted after ots been a bit skmce i replsyed cold steel 4 . I beaten all of them so i should be gd with my pro hopefully
Oh shit I need to copy my CS4 save file from the PS4 to the PS5 then.
Scratch that already did that, past me was smart, thanks past me.
Anyway thanks for the video, really helpful.
One question, is there a warning when you lock yourself out of a chapter or certain quests?
No quests in Reverie. All side-content happens in the Reverie Corridor and that can be accessed at (almost) anytime once you gain access.
@@RozalinGaming Thanks! Does that mean this will be the first Trails game with no (or almost no) missables? I always kind of disliked playing the games with a guide in a fear of missing all kinds of quests and or rewards.
@@TrafalgarLaw2011 You can't miss anything other than treasure chests if you don't open them when going through the main story.
Is it posible in the game to change battle music from previous games or something?
got interested in the series after watching a lets play of cold steel, played through sky, zero, and azure, but im probably not gonna finish cold steel 1-4 before it comes out but im a patient person lol
Yeah I would highly recommend waiting until you've finished CS before picking up Reverie since Reverie is essentially Cold Steel 5.
@@RozalinGaming not to worry, im going to blitz through these games. i just probably won't be done with 3 or 4 by the time it releases so ill probably be playing it a few weeks after it drops when i finish CS4
You say we can use save data from CS4 in Reverie, but the problem is i have CS4 on PS4 and bought Reverie for PS5, but there is no chance to upgrade my PS4 CS4 on PS5, cause there is no function, like by other games, which i can upgrade.
Be nice if you can play with different weapons armor
Oh no. What system do I get this on!? I have cold steel 1-4 ps4/5, cold steel 3-4 and cross bell arc on switch. Damn it. (Yes I double dipped on 3&4) lol
I would get it on PS5. The PS4 version has some major performance issues in the Reverie Corridor, which still persist to this day even after 8 patches. That and this game does have some scenes that utilize the new engine from Kuro no Kiseki, which also had major issues running well on PS4 and even PS5.
I'm waiting for reverie to come out to start to start this series, can't wait for this game!
No real reason to not get started now! At a minimum you need to play through 4 games first (Cold Steel 1-4), but having played the 5 games that came before CS is also recommended (Sky 1-3 and both Crossbell games).
oh, first!
I am a newcomer to the series and i like it overall so far, but there are a few things i find annoying.
1. Enemies absolutely spam status aliments. I've never played anything the spammed like 5 plus status ailments from enemies in nearly every area before. It gets irritating to go into the menu constantly to change accessories.
2. The main characters can't seem to hit the broadside of a barn. Seems like it should be pretty embarrassing for a character like Rean to miss so often considering it sounds like he is supposed to be very skilled.
3. The enemies magically survive with 1 hp like 80% of the time thus forcing me to waste another attack on them.
Hmm, in general the Kiseki series does throw status ailments at you early -- which I personally like since it makes enemies actually dangerous if not prepared -- but Reverie does throw more than usual; however, that is mainly because Reverie isn't meant for new players to the series so it's less forgiving as it expects players are familiar with the combat and mechanics already. As for hit rating, yeah it's been an annoyance since the beginning of the series and continues to be one even in the games after. Eventually you can craft quartz that make hit irrelevant though. And for enemies living, it depends on what difficulty you are playing on, but most likely as you learn more about the battle system and characters your damage output will improve.
I need play PS4 the legend of heroes trails into reverie please PO🥺
good rundown. i’m glad you pointed out the whole “enjoy the difficulty while you can” thing lmfao. it was so disappointing to see them shy away from the abyss and level manips in kuro. and while i love kuro just as much as i do all the kiseki games, it’s so straightforward and easy (not to mention having like… 50 less playable characters) that im much more excited to replay reverie in english than i am for replaying kuro.
There are really two main reasons for Kuro 1 & 2 being so easy: (1) the only difference between Very Easy and Nightmare is how much HP and SPD the enemies have -- the rest of their stats are identical and there is no blanket increase in damage taken/received/done; and (2) how ridiculously strong Cobalt Curtain and magic is in those games.
For me personally, Kuro 1 & 2 have been the most disappointing Kiseki titles for many reasons, but lack of difficulty is a big one. I do hope that Kuro 3 doesn't fail in Japan because I want to see the series conclude, but if 3 does the series may be in danger of being cancelled; both Kuro 1 & 2 have done abysmally in Japan with fans disliking most aspects of both games.
@@RozalinGaming i certainly wouldn't stack kuro up against the likes of cs3/cs4/reverie, which i consider the best three game stretch in the series, but... i thought kuro's efforts to bridge the series' tonal shift in a way that has something to love for all types of fans was commendable, if nothing else. even if it wasn't always the most graceful of compromises (i mean just look at the Tharbad arc... yikes) and the soundtrack and difficulty oftentimes left much to be desired, but the game was rock solid otherwise.
while i haven't played crimson sin myself, i've heard enough to be... apprehensive? i'm floored about swin and nadia returning, but hearing how inconsequential it is to the broader plot compared to kuro 1 is uh, not ideal for an SC/Azure type followup to say the least? with an arc's first entry, i'm much more lenient about giving the game time to set the stage; and even then, kuro 1 did a TON on both fronts-establishing and advancing the plot in tandem almost akin to cs3’s approach-while also teasing about deeper lore implications, the beyond, etc. but it seems crimson sin is leaving kuro 3 with some VERY heavy lifting to wrap everything up.
i'm at least glad 3 is getting an extra year of dev time to retool, but... yeah, for longtime fans, it's hard not to be concerned seeing how poorly those two games sales/reception. seems the best we can hope for is 3 being better received (even if the audience for a 3rd installment makes it all but certain to sell about as poorly as the others). fingers crossed that whatever arc to follow can right the ship in terms of sales--or that, like you said, there even IS a next arc to get the chance.
@@acerola3576 So with Crimson Sin, the game is about 90% nonsensical filler and 10% actual story that progresses the plot; it's even setup so that the events of Kuro 2 can be ignored entirely should the devs want to. Most of the important info also comes from dialogue found at the end of side-quests. It's still a fun playthrough, but get some alcohol before you do, lol.
As for what the Japanese have primarily taken issue with in regards to Kuro 1/2 they include: (1) a drastic drop in writing quality; (2) gameplay-to-dialogue balance -- Kuro 1's script is longer than CS 1-3 combined, and many of the things that served to break up dialogue heavy sections in past games were removed from Kuro 1; (3) useless features (action combat, pointless dialogue choices, alignment system, etc). Specifically with the alignment system, complaints include how there is no repercussions for actions/choices, and how alignment basically doesn't matter; (4) lack of difficulty; and (5) a lack of polish -- performance issues and bugs have plagued both games, with some bugs still not fixed in Kuro 1, and game breaking bugs that haven't been fixed in Kuro 2.
The praise the game has received in Japan is almost entirely for the characters, with most being welcomed. Van is the outlier in that Japanese fans found him to similar to Rean and hypocritical with how he goes on about working in a grey area, yet everything he does is just glorified Bracer work; basically fans wanted a more distinct and darker character than what they got.
I just beat trails of cold steel 4 & the ending was so heartbreaking & i was so exciting for reverie, but when I found out that they took out the bonding events in reverie i decided not to get it
Bonding events really wouldn't work in Reverie with how it's structured and the purpose it serves; they do come back in Kuro though. To replace bonding events, Reverie has it's side-stories, which are often of a higher quality anyways and serve to tie up the stories of many characters from the entire first half of the Kiseki series.
Also, if you plan to continue playing the Kiseki series moving forward, Reverie is a required game due to how important it is for the Kuro arc and series as a whole moving forward.
@@RozalinGaming maybe I’ll wait until some reviews are out and go from there plus the ending of 4 was so heartbreaking it made me cry so much my eyes were burning
@@unclebrian8156 Also keep in mind that Reverie is basically Cold Steel 5; it directly continues CS4's story. They just couldn't call it CS5 since it is also Kuro 0 at the same time.
@@RozalinGaming yeah that’s true but I’m still going to hold off on getting it only because I have to pay my bills, & I have to do other things next month so I might get it for my birthday if I get any psn cards, so the bonding events will be back in the one after trails in reverie?
@@unclebrian8156 I have the platinum trophies for both Kuro 1 and 2; I can confirm they are back. It's just that they don't really fit into Reverie with how the story is told, and with it's position in the story.
yeah, imma be starting with reverie
For your sake I hope you are trolling. But if not, well, I warned you.
@@RozalinGaming I am not
@@Da34Box Reverie is literally the worst place to get into the Kiseki series but you do you.
@@RozalinGaming guess I have a lot trails videos to watch
@@Da34Box 9 total games worth, but in order of importance:
(1) Cold Steel 1 - 4: Reverie's story is essentially Cold Steel 5, so this is the CS series is the most required.
(2) Trails from Zero/Trails to Azure: the bulk of Reverie's story takes place in the same area as these two games and what happened in them is important to the background of Reverie's story; Reverie's post-game story also continues these two games.
(3) Trails in the Sky 1-3: If you wanted to skip anything, these 3 games would be it as they are the least relevant to Reverie, though you will want to get to them eventually since they become important again in Reverie's sequel.
