I love when RPGs have a "recruit people back to your base" mechanic so reuniting Class VII and recovering the Thors students over the course of the game was great. They've done a really good job cultivating all the little storylines for the minor characters so you really get some accomplishment in catching up with people as they're found and become part of team. When ♥♥♥♥ starts to hit the fan and the "Objective: Kill God" JRPG moment hits in the final chapter having all characters you've gathered up taking part in the battle is very cool. Sara, Laura, Elliot, Machias, Jusis and Emma were my main team and the other members I'd only use when they were required. Wasn't really expecting the Yakuza/Like a Dragon style reuse of assets from the last game but, whatever, it's fine and a smart way for them to stretch what they had to work with. Definitely a relief to see something new and different during the finale. I definitely don't appreciate the continued issue of hidden and unmarked quests, difficulty spikes and content being locked behind new game+. Seriously, with how long this title is and there being so many in the series how many people are playing more than once? I really like this format of overarching story and save imports across games and as I play more I hope that it's better handled than in some other series that have attempted it. Hopefully we're done with the "and that's why we'll succeed! The power of friendship!" stuff. To a normie (about anime) the standing and monologuing back and forth while an exciting fight is supposed to be happening is very silly. There is a bit of a disconnect with this supposedly brutal war happening almost entirely offscreen. Isn't this guy we're making future plans about a murderer? Aren't some of these fruitcakes definitely going to jail? I had plenty of moments of thinking that this seems like it should all be taken a little more seriously. I get the tone is very light. I am looking forward to playing more of the series.

MASSIVE step up from Cold Steel 1. The entirety of Cold Steel 1 is a prologue. Hours and hours of political set up and character introductions in a world already filled to the brim with personality. By the end of Cold Steel 1, I was feeling burnt out, frankly. Finally, with Cold Steel 2, we are back to the exciting and intricate narrative I've come to expect from Falcom. This amazing game is your reward for making it through Cold Steel 1, and it's so worth it.

Following Cold Steel 1's vast improvements over the prior 5 Trails games was definitely a hard task, and while this game does fall short in a few areas, it keeps the momentum from the first game. It's fairly easy to tell that this game was intended to be part of the first at certain points, though personally I believe that it benefits more from being standalone. The story, while filled with strong moments, does tend to stall in the first half. There's many moments that feel like that don't really advance the story that much, or feel like they exist due to needing the game to be a specific length. Overall though, the story is strong, and the ending was better than the 1st Cold Steel's. The improved gameplay from the first is further polished, with three new major mechanics. First is the smallest, Lost Arts. By defeating borderline super-bosses, you gain special quartz that give you massively powerful attacks that're fun to use. Second is Overdrive, another ARCUS-related feature that allows for fun little combos in battle without having to invest too much. Finally, the Divine Knight/Panzer Soldat battles. Personally, I'm not really the biggest fan of the non-core story oriented ones, and that includes the following games as well. However, I can't deny how much I enjoy the hype moments and aura at times. While Cold Steel 1 is better on average, this game improves the core gameplay at the cost of the story at times. Despite being arguably the least good Cold Steel game, it's still strong, and I would recommend it.

If you loved Trails of Cold Steel I, this is a must-play. Picking up right where the last game's cliffhanger ended, the game expands on its mechanics and uses the established world for an action-packed campaign. Thanks for the memories, Class VII <3
