I feel like with this series I can pause it for months and then just pick it up again and be addicted to it easily.

I think I played it for like 13 hours over the weekend. I'm pretty close to the end I think, I just retook Leeves from those rotten main campus dorks. There are so many playable characters in this game I have no idea who to choose so I just default to the new class VII on pretty much every mission.

I think the slot upgrades for the orbments are so costly this game that I haven't had enough sepith to craft the rarer stuff. I still haven't unlocked all of new class VIIs slots, although I'm almost done (I think Altina and Juna still have one locked each). Musse is so fucking broken she does 20k damage with one fireball with the quartz set up I have for her. I'm trying to level up all the master quartz while also trying to find cool synergy with them.

idk most of the in game costumes are pretty lame if that's what you mean?

I don't even like the hair color options because they change the character's eye color as well

If you just retook Leeves youve still got a long way to go

She took pity on me, horizontally, but most likely because of my band

I think I had 120 hours when I beat it. Did all side quests, probably have a couple hours of idle time too

tbh some games i can play blind but the missables in this series are so good and fun to have, the bonuses for your teacher rank are insane and I want them all.

it's true... i haven't played cs 3 in a year though so i forgot what happens in that one but in this game she's weird as fuck for real.

This series is so cool, I love it. I know it's probably unpopular but I think 2 is my favorite.

Just finished the pantagruel extravaganza..the fight against Mariabell/Campanella/Shirley was by far the most difficult. I had to try again twice because the way I split my team the whole crew got statused and I couldn't do anything.

The issue with Claire is they tried to make her this smart character who is sympathetic. She falls super flat because she's trying to kill the party the whole time but then she acts like she's sad about it when she has a choice in the matter. They literally had to make Osborne a good guy who does bad things to save everyone so the Ironbloods wouldn't look bad.

I wish Juna and Kurt were important to the overall story as much as Altina, Ash, and ESPECIALLY Musse are.

I feel like once Ash and Musse join class VII, Juna and Kurt take a severe back seat basically on par with old class VII

I mean kind of? The first part of CS4 the main character is Juna. Shes the one that rallies everyone and basically takes charge. Kurt definitely just takes a backseat though

Yeah I guess you're right on that one, I've forgotten a lot of details about the first part of the game because I started it a year ago lol

I do like Kurt a lot though because I love the Vander family.

Yeah the Vander party rocks and Kurt got the short end of the stick in this game. I mean his whole trope and character arc is pretty lame. I finished this game this year and theres a lot of stuff I dislike about the story

Same. It's a low-powered game, so there's no reason why they couldn't execute some of the improvements Durante did on PC. Switch is getting those. Nah. PS4 is getting Kai and that's it. I wanted to keep my collection all on PS4, but I also want to play the best version of the game. So, I'm getting it on Switch.

Sharon, Claire, Lechter, and Irina are by far the worst characters in the Cold Steel series. Irina was an unlikable bitch from the start but all 4 of them were made even worse in III and IV. I also dislike Millium's actions in III.

The thing that pissed me off the most about lV is that you never got to play as Schera. It's lame that her role in the game was minimal at best.

Having her and Sara together in combat would have been awesome.

yeah I feel like she was the most teased secondary character, she shows up watching you so many times lol.

It would have been hilarious to be able to have a full Liberl crew party
