What are your favorite doors?

[Oguzhan]

So I searched for it and unless I missed something there aren't any threads on this.

Soooo here's the question , what are your top 5 favorite doors? Any door counts (star ,sun , moon).

Mine would be;
1:Star door 15 ( I love the way they told this story. Without outright saying what happens but also without sugar coating it. Symbolism is also brilliant especially if you remember the dialogue at the top of the tower after the first half of the boss fight)

2:Moon door 5 (Its an adorable little story with a character that you would never expect to see. Can't get enough of it)

3:Star door 8 ( This one is just great. The back and forths between 2 major characters of the entire series concluding with one of the most iconic/epic scenes in the entire series.)

4:Moon door 1 ( Its about one of my favorite duo in the entire series. I know a lot of people don't like Erica but her facial expressions which are very similar to Estelle's and seeing Tita's growth is just amazing. I also love how Erica calls her husband "My hubby" at one point. It is just adorable. Not to mention you get one of the most OP crafts in the game for completing it. Also talking to the people of Zeiss gets you really funny dialogue and even conclusions to few of the NPC's stories)

5:Sun door 2 ( I know A LOT of people don't like this one since it is fishing but I just adore this. I have always loved fishing in Trails and I was actually saddened by its exclusion in the main game. Fighting against these fishermen that I watched since FC , especially the woman since she starts fishing just to one up her husband, was just great. The pictures at beginning of each duel are great too. I also don't think RNG has much to do with it honestly. Catch the small fish then the big fish. Even if you fail you can retry at where you left of not to mention your oppenent can miss too)


Also as a bonus my least favorite is Moon door 3. (Its not bad and I do like it especially the parts with the orphanage but......its TOO LONG and there is nothing going on in the firsth half. Again its not bad but wasn't for me. Nowdays I just skip the dialogue for this one and this one alone)

5. Zin and Killika's door since we actually got some focus on developing Zin for once. Poor guy doesn't get enough spotlight. Also maybe some neat foreshadowing on a future Calvard arc?

4.(Colonel) Richard's door. It's interesting to see the antagonist of FC, who actually had some justifiable reasons for his actions, try to retool himself and try to find a better way to protect Liberl without having to drive the country into a militant path, which would just turn Liberl into a third Erebonia and Calvard.

3.Kloe and Joshua's door. It was awesome to see all the characters we got to know and love huddled together in this castle party and having all these nice conversations under a relaxing atmosphere. It's a nice reward for those who beat SC. Finally settles the love triangle (or rectangle if you count Josette), hilarious interactions between Estelle and Josette, had soem hertfelt confessions and gives us glimpses into what the characters' futures will be after their journey in the Liberl arc has ended. It almost felt like the true epilogue to SC for me.

2. Agate and Tita's door. Love the slice-of-life vibe. Agate and Tita are my favorite pair in the game as they continue to develop their unusul brother sister relationship together. We get some
further insight into how dependent and fond they are of each other, and it just feels believable and real. Makes a great complimentary piece to SC's Chapter 4. Agate's manly man straight forward nature clashes well with Tita's parents' eccentric chemistry, it's fantastic. It felt like an entire spin off series could happen with Agate and Tita as the main characters just from this one door. Erika is perhaps the real star of the show, and like you said OP has some of the funniest expressions ever. Her overprotective nature of Tita and hyperactive attitude make her one of the best side characters who I hope returns badly to the series. Hopefully she cameos in Cold Steel
3.

1. Estelle and Joshua. Estelle's love for Stregas, fishing, her "little" brother, and bugs. Nuff said.

1) Star Door 15 (Renne). Even though I felt it was kind of out of place in the game, due to being way darker than the vast majority of the rest of the game, it was very powerful and well-written.

2) Josh and Kloe's door. It was good to just chat and chill with pretty much everyone and unwind after the events of SC. Really, this should've been in the ending of SC, although the Kloe love confession would've probably been handled differently if they had.

3) Olivier and Mueller's door. As someone who played Cold Steel 1 and 2 before the sky games, it was really cool to see the setup here that lead to some of the major events of Cold Steel and see the first appearance of Osbourne.

4) Josh and Estelle's door. So adorable, and seeing the start of the estelle/josh relationship was great.

5) The one where you play as the ravens going up the mountain. A nice change of pace and some cool fights.

Runners-up: The reports detailing what Cassius was doing during FC; amusing to see how afraid of Cassius the Erebonian intelligence is. The Arena was obviously lots of fun, but IMO doesn't really count. Richard's door was pretty neat too. Hope to see more of him in future games.
