I've played Trails of Cold Steel twice, and now I can definitely say, it is one absolutely amazing game. Good story, moreso toward the end, but nevertheless it is decent throughout.
Great characters all round, for example, you have Rean, the main character, seems a bit of a nice guy, until you realise his dodgy BACKSTORY. You're thinking, oh, he must be talking about his demon form, right? NOPE. Unfortunately, I came across a bonding event involving a scene with some romantic literature, and what do I witness? Rean, the MAIN GUY, being homophobic. I am... disappointed. But all in all a good main character.
Then there's Elliot, well, he's on the opposite end. A fantastic character, a bit gay (he doesn't hide it) and has a big heart. When the game's over, I was expecting him to take a bow and say, YOU'VE BEEN A WONDERFUL AUDIENCE!
But unfortunately I didn't receive this in game :/
I could go on and on about other characters but I'm not feeling it...
Good turn based combat
Kinda fun, not much else to say haha >:)
