This is my combined retrospective of Trails of Cold Steel 1 & 2. This video was more or less a year in the making across both videos and took a lot of work. The Cold Steel 2 portion in particular taking around 2 months to pull off.
While these games are divisive in their own rights, I wanted to view them on their own terms and give my reasons why I like them, especially Cold Steel 2. Cold Steel 2 is one of my favorite games in the series, so I really wanted to give it my all, and I hope you all enjoy :)

Its time! Today we begin the Calvard arc with Trails Through Daybreak. The newest game in the Trails series (in the west.) Im so excited. I wonder what difficulty I will choose though. Hmmmm.
Last year I streamed Trails Into Reverie and it was a super fun time, so hope yall can catch this one. Should hopefully be a lot more newcomer friendly too.

After last part we have found ourselves in Area 4, the next major area of the game. This place looks super pretty, however an oppressive force is lurking in the shadows. Definitely watch this part because something fun is about to happen :)
