The world building in this game is insane! There are a lot of factions, all vying for control. There are the shadow factions, like the witches, the covert division of the church, ouroboros, the intelligence division - all pulling their strings from the shadows. And then there are the public facing side as well. The bracers, the empire and republic, the nobles and the Liberl monarchy. Amazing stuff!

Well at the during the end of CS1 and during CS2 they reference a trip that the class made to Ymir... That sequence isnt in CS1, and they reference it more than a few times. From what I read it was an audio drama that has never been released in the US. So... yeah it's kinda interesting when series do stuff like that. Still it's not nearly as bad as the .Hack series was with things split between anime, manga, games and other media. That series was impossible to get the entire story.

Good thing I saw this video. I recently finished and enjoyed ToCS II and are currently going through NG+. Was thinking of maybe dropping it, but now I am set on getting Black Records and more stuff. It is just a bit depressing that third game might be PS4-only forever... Both first and second I played on PC. If I was to get PS4 in the future is there a way to bring saves from PC version to PS4 ones? I ask this as a complete noob with technology and games so I hope you don't mind me ask.

@Olphas 5 лет назад

I had a bit of a breakdown in Cold Steel 2 already. I finished the first one just weeks before the second came out on PS4, so I didn't look into the story recap. And then I was wondering, why the hell they all were talking, villain included, about that one time they all were in Ymir. They keep refering to it all the way through the first Act. Oh, what a great time everyone had, and the adventure and the battle ... Wait a minute ... why can't I remember any of this? How was I to know, that this happened on a Drama CD, not in the game? True, it IS in the recap and there it even tells you where you can read the whole thing for free, but ... why lean so heavily on something that most people probably don't even know was there? I really love the games, maybe even more than Trails in the Sky, but .. why?!?

@crywolf826 8 месяцев назад

People argue you have to play NG+ because it shows your commitment and it makes sense thats how you get importsnt plot? Wtf? Some of us have careers and lives we have to live, we can set aside time to play a long ass series but multiple times? What are you smoking? That was a very poor choice having major plot behind NG+, i have only ever played NG+ on the witcher because I absolutely loved the Witcher and the expansions came out later than the original game so i replayed the story on NG+ but they for sure didnt havestory hidden behind it. If you want to put plot in NG+ then do it for a shorter game. Not a 70 hour game. Like wtf lol.

@doorto6152 5 лет назад

Wouldn’t be the first time Trails has done this. Cold Steel 2 made the audio drama/cut content canon. Though, you wouldn’t be left behind if players didn’t know that. I have a feeling, based on your description of the scene in CS3, Falcom purposefully included that flashback and scene to get players who hadn’t seen the secret scene up to speed. At least, that’s the intention.

@Thuxo 5 лет назад

@sorawild33 4 года назад

I wouldnt recommend that considering Cold Steel 3 and 4 are where you REALLY need to know what happened in the Liberal and Crossbell arcs. And Im not just talking about the main story stuff either. If you go into Cold Steel 3 and 4 knowing nothing over half the plot will fly over your head.

@luminous3558 4 года назад

Playing CS3 as your first game is not a good way to start. You will love it but you will still hate that you robbed yourself of 7 great games, many of which you will no longer be able to experience blind. CS3 is ruthless and spoils a ton of the previous games with just the first 2 chapters. You wouldn't want to only read the 8th entry of a long running fantasy novel series which prides itself on continuity. I know its unreasonable to suggest playing everything from start to finish when you don't even know the games yet and Sky looks very dated but its well worth it. Another option is to start with CS1 and see if you like the series enough to go back to the previous games as CS1 and CS2 are as standalone as it gets.

@MajorJak 5 лет назад

I still don't really understand why the items you need(+cutscene) are only available in NG+... *sigh* once I noticed how fun it was to talk to every NPC in earlier games I did the same in CS2 and so my first playhtrough became about 200+ hours long and I loved every second of it XD. I knew I might still miss some stuff without a guide but I'm fine with that but when I heard about THIS after my first playthru.... I can say for a 100% certainty I would have found all those items and the cutscene if they were not NG+ exclusive. And that feels a bit with lack of a better word "stupid". Now excuse me I have work to do in Crossbell.

@evewhoo 5 лет назад

I'm personally fine with it. I intended to replay both I and II from the very beginning, as well as the sky trilogy. I'm aiming for nightmare completionist so going for NG+ was on my list anyway.

@MajorJak 5 лет назад

@@evewhoo I did my first playthrough on Nightmare and also like to go completionist in the first playthrough(still need to redo sky tho XD) but I dunno... I don't think major story parts should be hidden away in a 2nd playthrough + I simply prefer finding everything around me on the first playthrough, find some special quotes or some easter egg in NG+ sure that's cool but this is a step too far for most people I think, I believe even Falcom want people to work for it and figure out to see that cutscene in-game but.. what if they prefer playing on NG and not NG+? They could never see this without outside help in that case. I want people to experience that moment but a big part of those people will likely just go start CS3. Anyroad I like doing NG+ in the end but not for story reasons I guess.

@LeonGun8 5 лет назад

Heh, you think that's bad. At least you can find those items relatively easy on your NG+. In Ao there's pieces of important lore that only come up if you do certain very specific things. Like how they only mention the Steel Maiden's possible identity if you manage to beat her. If you lose (which is very easy to do) the mystery remains until Laura mentions it in Cold Steel 2.

TBH, there's not much important or pertinent information in this cutscene anyway. This stuff is recounted at the start of CS3, and as the uploader mentioned "It may come as a shock if you haven't got the NG+ ending," but honestly... not really a shock at all, and if it feels like one I can't imagine that being anything less than pleasant.

As someone who is still new to the series I only beaten Cold Steel 1 and 2. After I beaten them someone from PSN friend request/ group chat was telling me that I have to play Cold Steel 2 again just get this cutscene with the black records and such. And I said i'll do that later in another time because in my head I was thinking why the hell would I play Cold Steel 2 again back to back just to get a cutscene that will probably not have much impact in the story of Cold Steel 3 which in my opinion it didn't since i'm chapter 2 of Cold Steel 3 and only saw flashbacks of what they was talking about in the previous chapters and I was like cool. But my issue with Cold Steel 3 which was already mentioned in this video is why the hell didn't Falcom made and save import for Cold Steel 3? I kinda find it lazy and selfish that they would do something like that assuming everyone would go back and play Cold Steel 2 twice in a row. Now it makes since for people who been playing the Cold Steel games long before Cold Steel 3 came out but for people like me who are new they should've made it like how Mass Effect did like if you missed something its ok the story will still continue without you missing much and then when that person decides to play everything again because I think Falcom forgot that replay value exist. Then players would've discovered something like the Black Records on their own and make them want to continue playing the games more that way. But its too late they missed that opportunity and gave everything all away.

A second playthrough is necessary anyway to view all bonding events so i don't really mind it. Hell I've played CS1/2 five times now and 6th b4 i play CS3 to refresh myself.

Thank you for making this video!! I just finished cold steel II and already have cold steel III loaded up…. I guess I’m one of the crazies who binge game after game 😂. No way I would’ve known about this NG+ stuff before starting.

Playing Trails of cold steel 3 and 4 on switch was kinda a let down not gonna lie, most of the plot dwells on the past games which I would like to buy and play if THEY'RE ON THE SWITCH! sadly I have to buy em on PC.

& here we are PC players still waiting for CS3 & CS4. every Falcom titles are a cult classic series with such a strong cult following from the fans. This is exactly happened mostly because of falcom being a "small" game devs having such big trouble when it comes localization & ports. I really wish Falcom have better deals when it comes to distributing their games, just like Atlus that also quite a small game devs by Japanese game companies standard.

Yeah just finished my replay a bit ago seeing as I was waiting for a closer release date before I did my second run and this really should have just been in the first run of the game. Locking behind NG+ was just stupid. I even got spoiled on who Thomas was since the promotional material back before CS3 got brought out was in the aspect that you knew about this.

Thanks for the upload! I’ve finished CS I&II. I’m letting my PS4 East atm before playing the third game. Was surprised to play as some characters from the Crossbell arc. I’m amazed that there were 2 games going on at the same time. This universe is so vast, I’m getting a slight headache trying to wrap my head around it all at once. Lol I want it all!

@robertlorrain9099 Год назад

60/70 hours for Cold Steel 2? XD I finished it after a whole 120 and something hours ^^'

@zordiark9673 Год назад

So, i just saw the Cutscene now and in the End Thomas said that the Roaring Lion takes care of things in West Erebonia. Than it doesnt make sense that he was dying in Nord when Gaius got his Stigma in CS3. Nord is on the complete other side and i havent got any clue why he was there.

@flamehiro Год назад

that some bullcorn! I guess I just won't get the reference when I get to cs 3. I'm not playing cs2 twice just get some references lol. When I restart series I can do new game plus tho assuming it not piss easy ._. (not really a fan of new game pluses for that reason)

@Naryoril 5 лет назад

Thanks a lot for this video, i had no idea about this scene. There are so many games i want to play, i almost never play NG+ nowadays, unless the story is radically different in at least parts of it. This scene explains a few things about Thomas...

@reanschwarzer1525 5 лет назад

i know 100% im at ng+ i finished alias ending my first time. i think im either in my 2nd or 3rd playthrough of the game. i got left off in act 2 i think. i was doing it with a guide this last run until my vita button camera kept spinning which made me unable to play so im continuing from where i left off. didn't knew about that ng+ exclusive scene but i was gathering all of the black books cant wait for tocs3

Well thats a helpful bit, it should also be noted that you can import your save data from the previous versions of the game if you want to use those for New Game+ as I beat the first two games on Vita. I picked up the first game on PS4 and made a new game plus save file on my Vita copy that I transferred over to continue on PS4.
