The Legend of Heroes Thread - Trails of Cold Steel in the Sky

[StaticSpine]

TBH what I don't like about the Trails series, they have too many characters and run out of archetypes pretty quickly.

The new protagonist looks like Rean. His sidekick is a mix of Emma and Alissa. The teenage girl – a mix of Shera and Fie. The red-haired dude is a younger Randy. The nurse girl... Tio? The grey-haired girl with drones is the new Altina.
And before that Sara has a lot in common with Schera (heavy drinking "mature" woman). Juna is similar to Estelle etc.

I didn't think it was possible, but I'm looking more forward to Kuro than Hajimari at this point, and that's from someone who's very excited for Hajimari. Looking REAL good. Going to be a bitch of a wait.

I really liked Estelle. If game was about Joshua i would never finish it.

Sara is the archetype perfected.

The person with the drones is a guy actually - his name is Quatre and he is the adopted grandson of Professor Hamilton (who is a lady). I don;t know who the teenage girl you are referring to?

I agree the guy protagonist looks way too similar to Rean; hopefully he is different in character and the same with the red beret girl (that she is different from Emma+Alisa).

 

[Reinhardt]

Btw who is dis Rean guy? If he's typical animu protagonist i won't play it.

Rean is too hated. In cs2 and eventually 3, imo he become great character that stands up equal with estelle, kevin and lloyd imo.

The game harem mechanics affected some of his personality especially with how centered he is in the character's relationship, but rean is imo still a great character. He is bland in cs 1 , but after cs2 final chapter we got to see his character development as his world crumble around him.


In cs3 he's grown actually into a really likeable adult. He's more dependable, yet still carry his bagagges reasonably.

Easily the worst main protagonist but still not terrible or anything. And I would say that he is quite typical animu character yes but so is the most of trails cast.

I take you by your word. Rean worries me the most. Estelle and Kevin are hard to top, though.

100% distilled typical anime protag
a decline incarnated

like what, sky was so unpopular they forever decided on katanafag+blonde for sale for protags now?

 

[Reinhardt]

I want game about R&A Research.

Hey, Richard is gud!

 

[Reinhardt]

stands up equal with estelle

I doubt it. Estelle is a rare breed. She's genuinely good person but not to the point where it becomes caricature. She reminds me of Kiryu. Someone you believe can beat all evilness from villain with her big staff. She's BRIGHT.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Protagonists in order:

1. Estelle (particularly TITS 1, 3 and TOCS 4 - she becomes insufferable when pining over Joshua in first half of 2)
2. Rean (TOCS 3/4 in particular)
3. Lloyd (boring)

In a way CS1 sets him up as having the appearance of a generic protagonist that then allows then to the deconstruct this stereotype throughout the ending of 2,and then more significantly 3 and 4.

For mine the Harem mechanics for Lloyd and then Rean are one of the weakest aspects of the Kiseki series; if only they had done the bonding events like they had done in Tokyo Xanadu where it was more just exploring the relationships between the characters rather than actually pairing them up based on your choice; I would have been fine if they paired up Rean with Alisa and Lloyd with Elie and just be done with it even though I struggle at times with Alisa as a character.

You don't know what you're talking about.
'Archetypes'. You sure you've played the games and witnessed any actual character development? It's obvious that the writing in the series is repeatedly attempting to break free of generic molds while remaining fun. What you call 'archetypes' (established character behaviors) change constantly for the supporting main cast (within reason). Altina in CS2 is not the same as in CS4. Alisa in CS4 is literally nothing like in CS1.

And before that Sara has a lot in common with Schera (heavy drinking "mature" woman). Juna is similar to Estelle etc.

I don't understand this autism. Sara likes drinking, so does Schera, thus they're the same? Do you operate in the same manner in the real world?

protag tierlist official
Estelle > Kevin > Lloyd > literally who
CS1 was such an unlikeable experience I gave up altogether on this arc, fully content with Sky and Crossbell stuff
