Trails of Cold Steel (re)playthrough thread. Cold Steel 4 has been announced and I& #39;ve yet to play 3. Replaying 1 and 2 on NG+ for the heck of it (also for that one CS2 NG+ scene)
Includes spoilers for all Trails games, mute #Supricoldsteel to avoid feed cluttering/spoilers.

I guess part of CS1 takes place during Azure already.
Yep this is gonna be interesting alright. #Supricoldsteel

Ha. #Supricoldsteel

Sara is such a mood honestly. #Supricoldsteel

George Nome.

AAAA GAME WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GLITCH OUT LIKE THIS #Supricoldsteel

CS1 chapter 1 is done.
As the first chapter of the first game, I feel it& #39;s done its job fairly well.
Honestly not much to say here. But revisiting this game is not something I& #39;m gonna regret. #Supricoldsteel

Gotta love Jusis& #39;s Sass, really. #Supricoldsteel

...
wait a minute
#Supricoldsteel

I don& #39;t think this is a coincidence.
They were called the Stahlritter if memory serves in Azure but I think that& #39;s just due to difference in interpretation between XSEED and the people who translated Azure. #Supricoldsteel

If this is the case then that says a TON about the Seventh Anguis.
Probably a successor to the Lance maiden, but I wouldn& #39;t be surprised if she ends up being the Lance Maiden herself. #Supricoldsteel

Wow if you win a forced loss fight she just starts spamming oneshot moves.
I guess that& #39;s one way to do things, but I was kind of hoping for like a NG+ exclusive scene. Oh well. #Supricoldsteel

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM #Supricoldsteel

For some reason I& #39;m starting to appreciate Fie a lot more this time around. #Supricoldsteel

YOU #Supricoldsteel

So the early game for CS1 coincides with around the start of chapter 4 of Zero if I& #39;m correct?
Honestly kind of interesting getting to read on events from another perspective. #Supricoldsteel

It& #39;s the little things. Reading Ring of Judgment gave this line just a good bit of extra worth. #Supricoldsteel

That& #39;s chapter 2.
Looking back, not much in terms of story implications that wasn& #39;t already in chapter 1, but it establishes some other things such as Blueblanc, Toval, Rufus, and Fie& #39;s background. #Supricoldsteel

I still found it quite enjoyable to go through. Sidequests were simple and quickly done so I could get back to the main story, also nice to see what Jusis& #39; hometown is like and more of his backstory. #Supricoldsteel

I suppose Ch. 2 could be better overall, but I wasn& #39;t bored playing through it, so it gets a pass from me. #Supricoldsteel.

And there ends Zero.
Can& #39;t wait to read about him in a certain later issue eh #Supricoldsteel

Powerful line. #Supricoldsteel

#Supricoldsteel

LIKE STEEL AM I RIGHT *kneeslap*
Sometimes my shitty jokes hurt even me #Supricoldsteel

ALL HAIL THE PAWN SHOP #Supricoldsteel

Kino #Supricoldsteel

Chapter 3& #39;s over.
I really like Nord as a setting, and it& #39;s probably one of my favourite areas in CS1 and 2. That being said, going for 100% in this area is one hell of a drag.
This marks the point where things will be heating up though. On the halfway point now. #Supricoldsteel

Wouldn& #39;t that be something. #Supricoldsteel

Oh right Gnomes were a thing in Ze- wait a second.
"Giving heroes the weapons they need to overcome the trials ahead of them."
...
Isn& #39;t George the onr who gives you your Zemurian Ore weapon in at least CS1.

IS
IS FUCKING "G. NOME" ACTUALLY
OH MY FUCK #Supricoldsteel

PLEASE DO NOT SAY THAT MY GOOD BEAN IT& #39;S A GOOD REASON BLESS YOUR SOUL #Supricoldsteel

Randy& #39;s Dad against Fie& #39;s adoptive dad.
That& #39;s kinda fucked ain& #39;t it. #Supricoldsteel

The bestelle& #39;s seal of disapproval. #Supricoldsteel

Ah, yes, Mr. Tiddles.
The most fearsome of felines. #Supricoldsteel

Smug Elliot is powerful. #Supricoldsteel

*Looks at my SC save*
...And then Estelle came along. #Supricoldsteel

Ah yes you were someone who took the pill yes yes #Supricoldsteel

And to do crimes. #Supricoldsteel

THUNDER, RAIN AND LIGHTNING #Supricoldsteel

Revisiting this game, it& #39;s honestly really weird that this man has been mentioned at bare minimum as a prominent player in Erebonia ever since Sky SC finally be in the arc where he& #39;s a consistent topic in terms of plot. #Supricoldsteel

Chapter 4 ends there.
Probably my favourite chapter, looking back on it. Various characters got their backgrounds fleshed out and the ILF finally revealed themselves.
...I missed out on 2 AP though so I had to redo the last 15 minutes holding turbo mode and skip #Supricoldsteel

I suppose that& #39;s finally happening this chapter.
Chapter 2 of Azure already, which means that at the very least half of azure is over by the time CS1 is over. And Garellia fortress happens around the fragment chapter or even finale. Holy hell. #Supricoldsteel

Having played Crossbell, this scene takes a whole different tone. #Supricoldsteel

Wait so these two are different people then.
I think?
I dunno, I& #39;ll probably find out at a later point I guess? Don& #39;t remember it being touched upon in CS2 at least. #Supricoldsteel

Sara lookin like she just made the baddest pun #Supricoldsteel

Yeah
They commit a whole lot of murder #Supricoldsteel

I remember reading a theory earlier that it& #39;s not just Zero& #39;s intro that was influenced by the Sept-Terrion of Zero, but CS1& #39;s as well.
Dunno how much merit it has, but I honestly like it. It would make sense considering Lloyd and the gang are at the tower. #Supricoldsteel

Chapter 5 over and done with.
Finally caught up on the intro and some attention finally given to Emma and who she actually is. Bit of development for Rean as well.
Next up is chapter 6 and Roer, and then the finale. I completely forgot what happened in chapter 6. #Supricoldsteel

Yeah Crois you went just a little bit overboard there.
Just a little bit. #Supricoldsteel

MMMM YEAH GOOD THING YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN PLAY IT HUH #Supricoldsteel

I& #39;ve already said stuff to the same effect several times now but it& #39;s nice knowing who and what people are talking about this time around. #Supricoldsteel

Crow really needs to be reported to the horny police. #Supricoldsteel

Oh right now I remember, this is the ship from Sky the Third& #39;s prologue. #Supricoldsteel

Oh, Machias. #Supricoldsteel

Done with the last main chapter.
Well, tensions certainly are at an all-time high, as the finale will show later. But I guess all that remains now is to watch the first final act. #Supricoldsteel

Game you better have some presents for me ya binch #Supricoldsteel

Yep, you& #39;re the son of a military officer alright. #Supricoldsteel

My kind of dumbass joke. #Supricoldsteel

Ah, Carnelia. #Supricoldsteel

Crow would make a cringe compilation. #Supricoldsteel

Good going Crois & Crew. #Supricoldsteel

Oh you know,
just a mech powered by the sept-terrion of the three higher elements. #Supricoldsteel

And that marks the end of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel I.
The revisit was worth it, and it& #39;s allowed me to reevaluate how I feel on the game. So, on a second run, how do I feel about it? #Supricoldsteel

I like it. It& #39;s probably my least favourite of the arc-starters, but it& #39;s a solid introduction to the land of Erebonia and the issues it faces. I also appreciate it more as an introduction to the Trails series overall. #Supricoldsteel

I& #39;d recommend FC over CS1 as a starting point any day of the week, but it& #39;s easy to see that the visuals and the setting are definitely more appealing overall. That being said, I love that, despite this, it still rewards you for having played the preceding 2 arcs. #Supricoldsteel

So, overall, while it& #39;s probably gone down in my list of favourites, I appreciate the game a lot more for what it tries to do. #Supricoldsteel

I remember when I first cleared CS1, I was in awe of the cliffhanger, and it left me wanting for more more than Sky FC& #39;s did. With Sky SC being my favourite game (at least at the time), expectations were incredibly high for CS2, though it didn& #39;t quite meet them. #Supricoldsteel

So, I& #39;m wondering. Now that I& #39;m going back into CS2 with a clearer mind and no specific expectations, how will I feel about it? Will I see new appeal in it, or will it remain as my least favourite Trails game?
The final New Game+ run is on the horizon. #Supricoldsteel

I& #39;m looking forward to getting to this part. #Supricoldsteel

Well, didn& #39;t take long for the prologue to end.
Not much to say here, it picks up after the events of CS1 well enough. Ymir is also just a really nice place. #Supricoldsteel

Unit. #Supricoldsteel

Magic from the plants duuuuuude #Supricoldsteel

Well not really but it& #39;s kind of related anyway. #Supricoldsteel

Fie does not approve of the horny. #Supricoldsteel

Act 1 Part 1: Done.
Funny how the first area visited is the Field Study region of CS1& #39;s chapter 1. That being said, I like how we get to see the effects of the war in Celdic like this. #Supricoldsteel

I guess it& #39;s not Crossbell& #39;s magic pla- I mean Pleroma grass either.
I actually don& #39;t remember what is the cause this time around. #Supricoldsteel

The patter becomes the patted. #Supricoldsteel

Act 1 part 2 in the books.
That felt really short after part 1. Don& #39;t really have anything to say about this one. Oh well. Legram& #39;s up next. #Supricoldsteel

You know, Duvalie& #39;s alright. #Supricoldsteel

Only McBurn would say this at the sight of several mech suits. #Supricoldsteel

You& #39;ll be saying Adios to Arios soon enough as well. #Supricoldsteel

Free from act 1 part 3.
The gang is together. Seeing Duke Albarea being a salty shit is fun.
Honestly I wish I had more to say right now. I know this is just act 1 but I just wish more stuff happened in parts 2 and 3. #Supricoldsteel

Act 1 ends here.
Well, stuff happened, but it felt like the majority of it happened in part 1 and that was to establish the current going-ons. I still enjoyed it overall, and I know this is but the first part, but I wish a bit more happened. #Supricoldsteel

I know one
she hunger #Supricoldsteel

Wrong type of Phantom Thief, bud. #Supricoldsteel

You know.
That intermission.
That was really dope. #Supricoldsteel

Oh goodness. #Supricoldsteel

YOU RRRRRRRRRREALLY HAVE DONE IT NOW, CRRRRRRRAIG. #Supricoldsteel

"Oh, you were helping?"
JEEEEZ JUSIS. #Supricoldsteel

....
Jusis doesn& #39;t know how to eat an apple.
Amazing
Absolutely amazing.
Props to Rean being so respectful of it though he& #39;s a real bro. #Supricoldsteel

Game pls #Supricoldsteel

And Act 2 part 1 is over.
A good start to the act. The sidequests were simple and to the point and it& #39;s pretty fun recruiting the Thors students. Loved the section at Twin Dragons& #39; Bridge, too. #Supricoldsteel

What were your dreams, Machias? Do tell. #Supricoldsteel

Hello Yiazmat, how are you doing? #Supricoldsteel

Man why tf am I tearing up for a terrorist you can& #39;t make me do this. #Supricoldsteel

That& #39;s A2P2.
Been enjoying act 2 overall a lot more than act 1 so far. Stuff happens and this time a final bout with V and Angelica& #39;s arc being over. #Supricoldsteel

Duke Albarea more like Dick Albarea.
I knew this was gonna happen but jesus christ what the fuck #Supricoldsteel

Alfin a good bean. #Supricoldsteel

A2P3 done with.
Jusis& #39; arc is (for the most part) over now and Sara settled some things.
Now begins the final part before the finale. #Supricoldsteel

HEY KIDS YOU WANNA SEE A MAGIC PLANT #Supricoldsteel
Meanwhile Lloyd is freaking the fuck out.

And it& #39;s filled with dumbasses who are a great and I love them #Supricoldsteel

That marks the end of Act 2.
Honestly a lot more fun than act 1. Stakes were high and the quests were a good time. Off to the finale.
And then a really fucking long epilogue if memory serves #Supricoldsteel

Thus, it begins. #Supricoldsteel

So due to the fact that this guy has been ahead of the class, I& #39;m guessing he& #39;s got a Merkabah, and by extension is a dominion.
Well, that& #39;s just a theory on my part. I feel like he may pop up in CS3 or CS4. #Supricoldsteel

A whole yeet #Supricoldsteel

Bringing Sara along was a good choice. #Supricoldsteel

Oh right I completely forgot you actually had a backstory.
Go figure. #Supricoldsteel

Speaking of stuff I forgot, the Black Whirlwind and the Golden Rakshasa.
I forgot they existed as well before replaying this.
Oops. #Supricoldsteel

Rean being a fucking savage. #Supricoldsteel

Imagine my face if this revisit, which came after I first played azure, wer my first time playing CS2.
"Oh there you fucking are" Cuntcellor. #Supricoldsteel

"Or perhaps I had a body double"
Yeah.... Considering the last line you said before your supposed death, I don& #39;t think it& #39;s that.
Makes me wonder how the hell he didn& #39;t die though. #Supricoldsteel

The two years of despair, if I recall correctly?
Makes me really look forward to CS3, but the postgame comes first. #Supricoldsteel

Thus ends the finale.
Thinking back on it, it actually ends on a cliffhanger just like CS1 did, though I suppose there& #39;s the epilogue still. But man. Just looking forward to CS3 in general.
Talk about a bitter end in general. #Supricoldsteel

Feels weird recognizing these landmarks in CS style. #Supricoldsteel

This kinda hurts
just a bit #Supricoldsteel

MMMMMMMMMFUCKYOUOSBORNE #Supricoldsteel

MY GURL HOW YA DOIN? #Supricoldsteel

I thought it ended at D.
...And not the cult one. #Supricoldsteel

MY BOY
MY DUMBASS
HOW& #39;S YOUR HAIR? #Supricoldsteel

Ah, Zero& #39;s battle theme.
How much I& #39;ve missed you. #Supricoldsteel

Something tells me Laura would want to fight you. #Supricoldsteel

#Supricoldsteel

Kind of surprised he ain& #39;t in the slammer with Crois, though I suppose in hindsight that was never established, so eh. #Supricoldsteel

W-
Wuzzy?
what? #Supricoldsteel

Divertissement& #39;s over.
Man, this was way better after playing Zero and Azure for (a)sure. Really nice bit. Makes me all the more glad I& #39;m going into CS3 with knowledge of the crossbell games. #Supricoldsteel

Fie is great. #Supricoldsteel

Ugh
Fuck the Angler management quest.
Damn fish won& #39;t spawn. #Supricoldsteel

Finally
Finally reached the scene that I& #39;ve been looking forward to. #Supricoldsteel

Trails of Cold Steel 2: Over and done with.
Compared to my initial impressions, things changed for both the better and worse. Act 1 was pretty meh IMO, but everything else was a good time.
In terms of my overall favourites... I& #39;d put it above CS1, albeit barely. #Supricoldsteel

Though these two games may be my least favourite in the trails saga thus far, they were still worth (re)playing, and fun games overall, so no regrets there.
That being said, Cold Steel 3 has a reputation to uphold. I& #39;ve heard good things about it. #Supricoldsteel

Though I appreciate CS1 and CS2 more as a solid introduction to the series, I also appreciate them as not only an introduction to the erebonia arc more, but also as Trails chapters 6 and 7 now that I played crossbell.
Now let& #39;s see how CS3 will be. #Supricoldsteel

Gonna take a quick dip to see what this one& #39;s all about. Allegedly the best the Erebonia arc has to offer, I& #39;ve heard some people rank it as a contender for their favourite in the entire trails saga, or atleast in their top 3& #39;s.
Time for paths to converge. #Supricoldsteel

EXCUSE ME #Supricoldsteel

HOLY
ALL THESE CHARACTERS
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #Supricoldsteel

WAITALREADYWHAT #Supricoldsteel

You can say that again. #Supricoldsteel

Also one of the characters I saw during the character slideshow and I& #39;m just like
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMTHEY CERTAINLY WEREN& #39;T KIDDING WHEN THEY SAID THEY WERE TRYING TO "BRING HIM BACK"
WHAT THE FUCK #Supricoldsteel

UHHHH
HELLO?????????
ALREADY???????????
RANDY???????????????? #Supricoldsteel

Osborne
Take a chill pill
for the love of god #Supricoldsteel

The Tita& #39;s a student here whaht? #Supricoldsteel

Smol attracts smol. #Supricoldsteel

That... explains a lot, actually. #Supricoldsteel

Honestly feels really weird to get a level reset mid-arc.
I know it& #39;s mainly because there was a change of platforms between CS2 and CS3 but it& #39;s really jarring. #Supricoldsteel

Jeez. #Supricoldsteel

Falcom you can& #39;t just use the "male student accidentally gets face planted in girl& #39;s chest" trope for a joke twice in the same arc. #Supricoldsteel

Kurt "Kino" Vander. #Supricoldsteel

would& #39;ve been nice to have a bit earlier
heck you game
IJUSTKILLEDTHEBOSS #Supricoldsteel

Asshole. #Supricoldsteel

Prologue& #39;s over.
Talk about first impressions. I can& #39;t help but be curious how life on the branch campus will play out, as well as playing the part of teacher. Extremely excited for this one. (Also Goodest boy Randy being an instructor too YEEY) #Supricoldsteel

.....
It was property of the Capuas, wasn& #39;t it. #Supricoldsteel

Oh GOD
I KNEW THE NAME SEEMED FAMILIAR #Supriocoldsteel

Guess it paid off, REAL QUICK. #Supricoldsteel

Guess KeA& #39;s not the only one, though I suppose this isn& #39;t much of a surprise. #Supricoldsteel

Suspicious figures, eh?
Well Shirley certainly fits the bill. #Supricoldsteel

Wait so she& #39;s actually a full-blown enforcer now?
Talk about interesting developments. #Supricoldsteel

I suppose it didn& #39;t take long for Mariabell to fill in Weissmann& #39;s spot. Once again I am glad I played Crossbell because if I didn& #39;t I would be hella confused right now.
#Supricoldsteel

...I& #39;m getting goosebumps.
A circumstance unique to the southernmost province of the Empire that halts the authorites.
I knew beforehand, but it& #39;s now just really settling in.
Actually about to visit Hamel. #Supricoldsteel

Considering she& #39;s not talking in plural... I don& #39;t think it& #39;s Joshua or Estelle.
Might be Schera or Anelace then. Just guessing at this point. #Supricoldsteel

OKAY I AM JUST OVERTHINKING THINGS IN MY EXCITEMENT BUT H O L Y F U C K Y O U N E E D T O S T O P. #Supricoldsteel

....Geezus.
What the hell.
You can& #39;t just make me feel these emotions in just chapter 1. #Supricoldsteel

MAH
GURL #Supricoldsteel

STOP #Supricoldsteel

Oh. #Supricoldsteel

What. #Supricoldsteel

oooooooooooooooooh boooy.... #Supricoldsteel

MMMMCEDRIC I KNOW YOU& #39;RE THE CROWN PRINCE AND ALL BUT I& #39;M NOT LIKING YOUR ATTITUDE IN THE SLIGHTEST.
What are you planning #Supricoldsteel

#Supricoldsteel

Man.
...Man. #Supricoldsteel

MAN. #Supricoldsteel

MOTHER FUCKER. #Supricoldsteel

#Supricoldsteel

The life of a Harem protagonist truly is a rough one.
Unless you& #39;re Lloyd. #Supricoldsteel

OH WHAT THE FUCK #Supricoldsteel

Yeah... That was something #Supricoldsteel

Wait
hold up
SHE FUCKING LEFT? #Supricoldsteel

I didn& #39;t even use it that fight but the plot demands it. #Supricoldsteel

I love these children. #Supricoldsteel

THE
LAD. #Supricoldsteel

Chapter 2 down.
Well. A lot of things happened.
The identity of Azure Siegfried is obvious and not impossible given the chancellor and Rutger, but what& #39;s got me interested is the identity of the Chief of the Gnomes, I got 2 suspects right now, but who knows. #Supricoldsteel

On a different note, visiting Crossbell felt strangely depressing, but it was a good visit nonetheless.
Juna& #39;s a good girl.
And just what the hell is this drama within Ouroboros #Supricoldsteel

Bless your soul, Mint. #Supricoldsteel

[Loud whiplash noises in the background] #Supricoldsteel

I agree with Juna.
On a related note, I don& #39;t trust horny people or cryptic people and Musse is both. #Supricoldsteel

Blessed kids. #Supricoldsteel

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS #Supricoldsteel

I think Ash may be my favourite new character in CS3 so far. I don& #39;t think I& #39;m really able to put my finger on why, but I& #39;m really enjoying his banter with the rest of the class. #Supricoldsteel

*sigh* #Supricoldsteel

Let& #39;s see...
Academic? Check.
Seems middle-aged? Check.
Overall a relaxed type? Check.
This fucker& #39;s gonna end up in a major villainous role isn& #39;t he.
I& #39;ve been fooled thrice already, not happening this time. #Supricoldsteel

Bonus points if he ends up being the fourth anguis; the one related to Sharon. #Supricoldsteel

OH OKAY MUSSE.
FIRST ANGELICA NOW YOU
WHAT THE FUCK #Supricoldsteel

SOMEONE ANSWER THE FUCKING PHONE
I FUCKING CALLED IT.
G FUCKING NOME #Supricoldsteel

UH OH, ANOTHER LINE IS COMING UP.
GOTTA ANSWER THAT ONE AS WELL. #Supricoldsteel

Okay didn& #39;t get the bonus points but good enough.
That& #39;s 3 chapters down.
Shit& #39;s hit the fan and there are conflicts everywhere, plenty of revelations happened. Lamare was a really nice place to visit, too.
But I just have to wonder what& #39;s really going on. #Supricoldsteel

JESUS CHRIST Thomas& #39;s glasses are really creepy in this game. #Supricoldsteel

Orobouros and the Red Constellation, Osborne and the Ironbloods, Zephyr and the Gnomes, the Gralsritter, Thors Main Campus, and the Branch Campus.
How in the hell are there this many parties at play here. #Supricoldsteel

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE #Supricoldsteel

#Supricoldsteel

It& #39;s the Aureole all over again. #Supricoldsteel

Being Michael is suffering. #Supricoldsteel

Kurt. The fast. The swift. The untouchable. #Supricoldsteel

We got one of them MILF hunter types in here eh. #Supricoldsteel

UH OHHHHHHHHH
HE FUCKED UP #Supricoldsteel

O h f u c k #Supricoldsteel

Gettin& #39; some real phantasmagoria vibes this time around.
I dig it. #Supricoldsteel

And suddenly Lechter& #39;s in my par- WHAT THE FUCK #Supricoldsteel

Holy shit I didn& #39;t think I& #39;d see the day where LECHTER of all people gets nervous.
Ash is a fucking beast. #Supricoldsteel

And my A-rank streak is ruined
FRICK. #Supricoldsteel

This one line just makes me realize how many Edgeworth vibes I& #39;m getting from Jusis. #Supricoldsteel

NO YOU FUCKING DO NOT #Supricoldsteel

That makes 4 chapters.
I thought Ash may have been somewhat related to McBurn in some way but it seems that it& #39;s something completely different.
Hamel& #39;s third survivor.
What the hell is even happening anymore #Supricoldsteel

OSBOOOOOOOOOOOOORNE

Well ain& #39;t this nostalgic. #Supricoldsteel

OH
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF #Supricoldsteel

GAME NO
FUCK #Supricoldsteel

REAN YOU FOOL
STOP THAT #Supricoldsteel

The Trails binge has come to an end for now.
WELLLLLLLL BOY HOWDY
WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL #Supricoldsteel

Overall thoughts:
What a game.
Loved the branch campus as a setting, and western Erebonia is also just really cool. I was kind of worried I wouldn& #39;t like the new class VII but oh my god they are the must precious children. #Supricoldsteel

Story had me interested from start to finish, and the scale has become that much more clear thanks to the revisit to crossbell and appearance from characters from both the liberl and crossbell arcs. The gameplay in CS3 is also the best in the series yet. #Supricoldsteel

After the trails binge, this is my tentative list of favourites:
SC>Azure=Zero>CS3>The 3rd>FC>CS2>CS1.
Tentative because I& #39;m still not 100% on the top 3, I& #39;ll probably end up revisiting the crossbell arc with NG+ later in the year. But for now, this is it. #Supricoldsteel

Now I& #39;ll just have to wait a year or so for CS4 to arrive. I& #39;ll be anticipating it eagerly. #Supricoldsteel
