Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Yeah so I was basically in the same boat as you when I first started. Played like half of trails in the sky 1 forever ago and then started with cold steel 1, then beat it and 2 and 3. Then looped back. I really do think there is something to gain by playing liberl and crossbell; liberl especially stuck out to me. I know crossbell is more acclaimed and it was definitely good but I think just how the game looks and the storyline is something else. Upon coming back to erebonia I realized how much I actually disliked those games compared to the others because of how ridiculous it was, what with all the girls falling over rean and some of the other plot points.

___The mecha reveal fight was pretty badass though and kind of blew my mind though lol
Anyways if you like the series you should definitely play them even if you think you don’t need to. All the references and character reappearances are mind blowing. I do want to at least finish 4 at some point, to give some kind of closure.
Yes, the harem aspect of Cold Steel was definitely not something I liked, but as a fan of anime I’ve just accepted that sometimes I have to cringe through some of the tropes. “Angelica is a lesbian and sexually harasses every female she sees, isn’t it funny??”
You should play IV and Reverie if you want closure - I hear that the Crossbell Arc actually gets most of the screen time in Reverie.
