There are dialog options for the three you mentioned in the final bonding event, the other characters does not have dialog options, but all of them likes Rean anyway

No that's not exactly true. I think it is true that there's no confession option for Fie, but in fairness her story with Zephyr and her "dad" really isn't done either. You do get a tender moment with her where Rean says he needs to meet her dad and hopes he isn't mad about his relationship with the Zephyr princess.

It's entirely possible you get an ultimate payoff at the end of CS4. But we'll see. It'd be pretty disappointing to a lot of fans to not get a FIe romance option.

It is. Falcom gave a huge middle finger to the idea and fans of creating yourown unique experience in cold steel franchise. You must understand Falcom is a very incompetent studio in general, earning just enough to not bankrupt but not enough to improve.

I mean, for the sake of a consistent narrative moving forward into future arcs, there should be a single cannon relationship at the end of CS, especially if we expect said characters to show up in, and interact with future arcs.

Honestly the whole structure of CS relationship system hurt the narrative pretty bad, as none of those relationships matter outside the bonding events. Just more disconnect (which is already rife in this arc).

really? damn and isn't that too rash? i do find it odd to change it after the first 2 games. i hope they add it back in 4. :(

i disagree with you. it help it and give you more choice. the relationship system was like persona and other games. i like it alot. and they do matter at end of 1 and start of 2. (maybe end of 2 too. haven't played it yet.) and no one know who would if any would be seen in next arc. and i only really played cs1 (arc). also it just stupid to removed those choices since they were in 1 and 2 as romance. and only kept alisa,laura, and emma. and i don't think i'm the only one who think this. and think of it this way. i picked fie in 1 and will most likely in 2. but can't pick her in 3 and if they make alisa cannon in 4. then there was no point to pick in 1.,2, and 3.

Yeah, Falcom doesn't care anymore. Why doesn't my harem route carry over from Sky or Crossbell either?

Oh wait.

Sky didn't even have the system.

And we see how they're handling the Crossbell choices. They basically don't acknowledge them.

Sky didn't have the relationship choices but instead had its own cannon relationships that took their time and fleurished. It wasn't always love but friendship and sibling bond as well (though that sibling bond might turn into actual love in the future since they are still vague about it from what I have heard ). Olivier X Schera , Kevin X Ries ,Joshua X Estelle and Agate X Tita were the more prominent ones. But we also had Joshua's friendship with Hans , Kloe and Lechter (this one we don't know where its gonna go yet) , Jill and pretty much everyone in the party etc etc (look that series had a lot of interactions between the characters the list goes on).


Crossbell games have the bonding event system but its a bit different. In the first game throught the game you have these points where you make a choice of who to focus on in your party members (a total of 3 times I believe) and the one with 3 points get a final event+ a better double attack which can be carried over to the next game.

In AO you have A LOT of moments (some in side quests) for you to get more intimate with them. Everytime you do they get like a point I believe and every character have their own quota for them to be available for the final event. For those who are not in your party but you had a great bond with well they give you really good accessories. There are also A LOT of optional events in AO no Kiseki. Sky games had them and zero no kiseki had a lot of them too but in AO , I found myself spending like 15 minutes at the start of each day just to get all the extra events. It is insane.

OP, if you haven't already, make sure you play the previous games in the series, too. CS III and IV expect the player to have played all other games in the series.

Regarding bonding: They aren't romantic options. Not most of the time anyway in most of the games. You can choose to have a final bonding event with any bondable character, but that doesn't mean it's romantic. I'm pretty sure if you picked Machias for your final bonding event it wouldn't be romantic in the slightest. xD

That goes for all the CS games, I'm pretty sure. The only characters that had romantic hints or romantic scenes that I can think of in CS I and II were Alisa (who clearly is the canon and intended love interest and has the most romantic scenes), Laura, and Emma. And from what I remember, you can still choose Fie for a final bonding event in CS III, it's just that the other 3 have romantic ones. To my knowledge this isn't really all that different than in the first 2 games.

Also there really haven't been anything in CS III, to my knowledge, that rules out your choices from any of the past games. I think CS III just assumes you've seen them all and allows you to just rechoose stuff for that game. The only real change, in my opinion, is that you can't just directly carry over your save and choices directly, and the reason it needed to be this was was because they couldn't make it so you could carry over the data from I and II, which were on PS3 and PS VITA, and III, which is on PS4, despite them wanting to. We also know thet you can carry over your Save Data from CS III to IV, as an aside.

Honestly you should probably wait until you actually play the games before deciding if it sounds like it was handled fine or not. There is a time skip between II and III anyway, so it's not like III would pick up right after II or have the relationships be exactly the same regardless.

It's not called AO, it's called Ao. It's a word not an acronym; in this case, ao means azure.
