The first, I guess, since that way you at least get two complete arcs

This exactly.

Coming from someone who likes CS1 more than any other Trails game.

In addition to giving you 2 complete arcs, playing Sky/Crossbell is very very close to the "just play the 5 best individual games" strategy. Easy choice.

Pending Reverie, which I am not done with but so far could easily place in the top 5 if it sticks the landing. Not that this would change my vote in the poll either way though.

Basically, yeah. As individual games I like every CS game more than FC or 3rd but needing to play all four for adequate resolution is just A Lot

Sky 1-3, Zero, and get out before it turns into full on cringe harem crap

Well CS1 is still pretty good but the cliffhanger ending would be a bummer

Azure has harem elements, but I don't think it's any moreso than in Zero, and it's absolutely 100% without a doubt less so than in all the Cold Steel games.

I don't really think it's intrusive in any of the games either way, but I'm probably in the minority there.

Even Sky gives Joshua a harem for no reason

Harem stuff wasn't the right way to put it

I mean stuff like the sunscreen scene in Azure, Shirley groping Elie for no reason, trap door boobs in face shenanigans, any scene involving a hot spring, etc.

I'd pick either Sky 1+2 or Crossbell 1+2 and then Cold Steel 1+2. At least then you get to experience both style.

find more time imhotbqh

Seriously though, Sky + Crossbell IMO. I know some people bounced off Sky and found CS a more accessible entry point and had renewed motivation to go for Sky but that's a pretty indirect path. I mean, if you do bounce off Sky it's worth considering if you still want to give the series a shot but eh.
