When I played the Trails in the skies series, I thought it was slow at first but then it grew to be one of my favorite RPGs with a solid cast , story and played the 3 first games pretty fast. Enter Cold Steel, the first one was lackluster at best but finished it anyway. Tried playing Cold Steel 2 hoping that things will change but nope. Got to chapter 2 and just couldn’t do it anymore. What a disappointment this shit was. Don’t even get me started about how bland and boring Rean is. Wtf happened.
