At the party, Sharon is all like, "I love my family and swear on their name I'm not evil." And then before you fight her, she's glad not to be chained down by them anymore. It's a weird development when the last time we saw her, she fought against McBurn with Rean and threw herself in front of his flame to protect him. I think the final dungeon was stupid narratively even if the fights were pretty epic. Some of the characters made no sense going along with a plan to raise an evil temple, sacrifice a little girl, and shroud the world in twilight.
@@ThanhTriet600 it’s almost like they kept changing writers who were allowed no restrictions with the characters but had no idea what anyone else was doing. It’s so jarring and schizophrenic. Alisa’s romance route from 1-4 is a perfect example. They go from lovey-dovey and heartwarming to me going “Wtf Alisa” several times as she goes from your love interest to not wanting to be attached to you and back.
@@DJSpike-ft9yw The entire Alisa thing can be easily explained. You have to realize she literally just lost everyone that was important to her. Her mother joined with Alberich/her father WHOM SHE THOUGHT WAS FUCKING DEAD FOR 10 YEARS AND IS NOW TRYING TO BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD and Sharon went back to being an Enforcer and on top of that, the ONE constant in her life that kept her from going off the deep end is essentially consigned to be the ultimate sacrifice that'll bring about the end of the world. Yeah, that's going to REALLY fuck someone up. It makes perfect sense she'd want to back the fuck off and give herself time to think things through and it's actually why her relationship is genuine and normal compared to everyone else. The fact you didn't think that through just tells me you've never been in love or suffered severe heartbreak.
I don't hate the dating sim mechanics for Cold Steel but when you clearly push one character (Alisa) over the others it just feels unnatural to deviate from the intended path. What Falcom should've done was give every female a chance to shine with Rean and then the player make a decision. I don't expect it to be as detailed as Mass Effect or Baldur's Gate but they can at least attempt.
That's XSeed's idea as a bonus to sell the pc version back then. It got carried over for the PS4 release. NISA decided to keep it as is on what were voiced and what not in the japanese.
A friend and I play these games together, and whenever Rean doesn’t have a voice we try to give him one of the most over the top voices in place of it. It’s actually one of my favorite things about playing the game XD
Did not realize Laura, Emma and Alisa had romantic events..or even that Rean and Alisa kissed if you get the event with her. My events were with Gaius, Juna and Kurt and all by accident.
23:10 Nothing but praise for the incredible French translation, but they really screwed up these two options. In French it basically says the same thing ("I'll continue to support you") so I had no idea one led to a 'platonic' vs. 'romantic' ending. I only found out later after doing the sewer dungeon and had to reload a way earlier save and redo everything to get the version I wanted.
@@roland4963 I've heard they do Laura more justice in CS 4. But I dare not find out to confirm it just yet cuz I'd hate to spoil it. I thought their moment together at the end was tender enough.
@@Tvdiet Yes!! They share similar interests and passion for the sword, their personalities compliment each other the best, they're very funny when together, they bring out the best in each other, and c'mon, Laura is just awesome! She's mature and level headed, she's gorgeous, she helps everyone to do better, and she never stops believing in the best in people especially Rean. I could go on but Laura is THE girl :D 💪❤
@@redhedgehogocarina Someone else in the fandom described the two as on the same spiritual wavelength. I agree wholeheartedly that's what they have. I just couldn't figure out how to describe it until that person did so.
I would agree that Rean and Laura are kindred spirits and would be fine together. Rean and Emma is my personal favorite relationship because Emma was an enigma in CS1 but when her origin is revealed and how she guides Rean as an Awakener, it just fits for me. She’s the pillar that supports him as he grows and helps him achieve his goals. Granted, you could make an argument for all of Class 7 but I think Emma is the most crucial one. Also, I find their interactions to be quite endearing even if they can be a bit awkward around one another.
Sure the game does force you to ship Alisa and Rean but the true organic romance that can be seen is with Emma. From Trails 1, Rean has always shown an interest towards Emma as she is super beautiful.. they even teased Rean but then the game forces scene such as Alisa falling on top of Rean but all that said even till the end Rean is mesmorized by Emma and Emma is a critical part to the story as she helps him with all his trials with the ogre curse.
You can choose not to kiss Alisa at least. I chose the romantic option with Emma because I thought I would give her one of the gifts I had in my inventory, not tell her to take her glasses off because Rean finds her hot. That being said, if I had to choose a girl to ship Rean with, it'd be Emma with Sara in close second. I'd ship him with Gaius, Elliot, or even Crow, who I think he actually chemistry with, but BL and LGBT characters in general are just jokes to Falcom, so that would never happen.
Thats so lame. When I startet TOCS 1 I decided for Emma. In Part 2 Rean says to her "I love you Emma" and they hugged. Now they didnt even hold hands. Its as if this game leads you to Alisa. But I dislike the thought
@Leo Jansen Fie's moment was the real disappointment. Heatpats are cute when we're teenagers, but aren't the two adults now? Something a little more... interesting... can be appropriate?
They pushed Rean's harem so hard and even had Juna constantly commenting on how every woman is attracted to him. I don't like Alisa, but I would rather Alisa just be the canon ship and end of story than have every woman constantly fawning over him. It's such unrealistic and juvenile writing.
@@ThanhTriet600 lmao it's nothing new or even that impossible for JRPGs. Even Fire Emblem points out how Lord or certain characters have other named characters attracted to them.
They are. Also did you know in CS1, Rean and Alisa's spring uniforms each had a single glove on each hand. They're from the same set. I believe it is actually canon.
@@theashenogre8948 if you are referring to overall series yeah, but if you are specifically referring to cold steel, no. Aot published back in 2009. Cold Steel was released in 2013. Same year anime of aot was adapted.

*Rean anytime he turns around*
Wait, Rean!

Altina is just so adorable
altina should be kissed too lol , why only elise haha
@@pochul alisa*
she's the ideal imotou
They did dirty to Fie.
:(
Fie is underaged, lets remember that ;D
@@RenciaFennaas I mean, to be fair, Rean and Fie's relationship gets saucy in two to three months time.
I don't hate the dating sim mechanics for Cold Steel but when you clearly push one character (Alisa) over the others it just feels unnatural to deviate from the intended path. What Falcom should've done was give every female a chance to shine with Rean and then the player make a decision.

Or they could have just made Rean/Alisa canonical like they did Estelle/Joshua.
Yes, that way they can also give other girls a relationship is instead of being alone if Rean doesn't pick them
The Altina's "ehehe" is such a killer move
Wait, did Alfin just say she wants a poly relationship with the Schwarzer siblings???
Yep. She reads saucy books at St. Astria's; she's down for a 3 way because she loves Elise and knows Elise also loves Rean.
Wouldnt that make her best girl then?
You know, normally polyamory isn't my thing, but for Alfin and Elise, I might make an exception. Laura is still my favorite though.
You’d have to get over the whole incest thing first. Which, while interesting in fantasy porno’s or hentai, IRL is just cringe and disgusting.
@@DJSpike-ft9yw u do know their not blood related right? Hell their parents kinda ship them because his adopted
Grrr... they finally voiced Rean in the remastered I and II for PS4 and now they are back to not voicing him...
Probably because those were remasters and this is just the original game
He's voiced in the game, just not every line of dialogue.
Yeah... It's really annoying.
That's XSeed's idea as a bonus to sell the pc version back then. It got carried over for the PS4 release. NISA decided to keep it as is on what were voiced and what not in the japanese.

0/10; no aurelia bonding scene
Aurelia's too old for Rean and I'm pretty sure that she and Wallace have feelings for each other.
@@yurionedge2199 I think they're strictly platonic.
@@yurionedge2199 nah they juat treat each other as friends and comrade
She's like twice his age and it's also inappropriate because she's his boss. There can be a female character in the game who doesn't want his cock.
@@ThanhTriet600 She's 10ish years older than him.
9:46 Um wtf, it would have been nice to know that outside of a character's optional bonding event.

Ugh, I wished this game just went with canon pairings would've been more delightful to watch these scenes than having all of them want Rean smh

Gosh I am madly in love with Laura 😍 she's all I think about

Soon Boys, Soon. Fie will get justice
You can romance Fie again in 4 at least
Awwwww..... love is so beautiful

So.. Alisa got her wished kiss huh?
Twice actually in cold steel 2 as well, it's like they made it a canon (while everyone else just get a hug or hand held at most)
She Is the only one who got kisses?

Emma, Laura, Juna, Sara and Aurelia best TCS waifus
@@alexandrojavierpinto2501 Wholeheartedly agree! and almost in that exact order too. Just slot Fie in that line up somewhere too, and you're complete!
