I will give one nitpick though. I am not much a fan of Rean being some kind of "chosen one". I am just too old for that kind of thing to be cool anymore.
But I will give it a pass since we get to play with a giant robot. Granted it was like in the last 10 minutes of the game but I expect that to be more frequent in later entries. 
I am kicking myself for not realizing that Crow was C though. I should have known from previous games that the quirky and goofy guy is always the villain!
Except I was expecting a scholar and Crow was far from that. Plus they made him a member of the party halfway through the game!
Curse you Falcom!
Not looking forward to fighting Sharon and "Misty" as part of Ouroboros either. I liked them. /sigh
Just finished Trails of Cold Steel!
Now I am trying to decide if I should start the New Game+ now to get all the little things I missed or play something else for a bit.
I was also going to make a thread comparing it to previous Trails games but doing it in a social media platforms feels like too much work to be honest. :p
So, I will just sum it up with I had fun but have some nitpicks!
I didn't expect for an Arseille-class ship to show up in this game. Or any of the other Trails of Cold Steel games for that matter.
But I can't say I am too surprised to see Olivier pulling a stunt like that.
I also must admit I like seeing him proactively trying to do something for his nation. It is also cool to see how much the events of the Sky trilogy affected him and made him want to do all of these things.
One interesting thing about having a Trails game set in Erebonia is to see how the locals view Chancellor Osborne.
I was expecting him to be hated here as much as he is hated in other nations. But apparently he did some good things for the commoners of Erebonia and thus earned their admiration.
If I didn't know any better I would even think he was a good guy!
The grind paid off!
With my party's gear all upgraded the quest monster wasn't much trouble. It also helped that they got a couple levels through all of that.
It is still funny that after the battle they acted like it was a hard fight when only a couple of characters barely lost a few HP.
Also, is there anyone in Class VII that doesn't have some kind of secret?!?
I am not sure if I am misremembering it but in the games previous to Trails of Cold Steel I never really had to grind for gear upgrades.
While in Cold Steel I just found myself having to do it in order to beat a quest monster.
To be fair the grind doesn't feel that bad.
Also, I am still struggling to figure out the best quartz for my current party.
Still early game though. So everything will click eventually.
This took me far too long to realize but I just realized that in Trails of Cold Steel we don't need to mix and match orbments anymore to get certain arts.
I still don't quite get the new orbments though but I will probably understand them better with time.
Also the characters are starting to grow on me now that I completed chapter 1 and they are showing more personality than their initial anime character trope impression.
I have finished tbe Crossbell Arc of #LegendOfHeros #Trails last night!
I have now entered the 3D games with #TrailsOfColdSteel
