    Trails of Cold Steel III is a great continuation of the story. The mechanics are largely the same as the previous games, which were fantastic. If you enjoy long jrpgs with interesting story and characters, you can't go wrong with this series. However, you do need to start with the first game to understand the story.

    If you are looking at this game, you are probably already 200 hours into this series from the first two games. You know what you are getting yourself into: lots of character development, old school turn-based combat, and Rean oblivious to the heroine's advances. This game has real charm and will suck you in for the long ride.

    Trails of Cold Steel 3 continues the amazing story of Rean Schwarzer. Once again featuring classic JRPG turn based combat, only this time an emphasis has been placed on speeding it up. This is a welcome addition to the "The Legend of Heroes" franchise and any fan will certainly want to pick it up.

    There aren't too many game series that try to stretch out one huge story over multiple games. That is what they are doing with Cold Steel. The 4th game is the conclusion to this story which will be released this year. So i would not play this without playing the first two games.

    More of the same greatest from the trails of cold steel series! This one is made from the ground up for the ps4, so the graphics are better than the previous 2. There are some added new wrinkles to the battle system making it better than ever! A must buy for jrpg fan!

    Overall, this is a really solid entry in the series. Just remember, you really need to play the other two cold steel Games to understand what’s happening. It also doesn’t hurt to have played the other legend of heroes games like the trails in the sky trilogy!

    The 3rd game in a 4 part series. It is highly advised that you play the first 2 parts before this one as the game is extremely story driven. This is such a great game and can't wait for the finale of the story arc, later this year.

    This game gives me the same kinds of feelings I did with PS2 RPGs back 15-20 years ago. I love it. Extremely long, amazing music, and a great plot. You'll get more out of it if you played the sequels but this is a good starting point if you can't wait.

    "Modern" RPG's are different from Classic RPG's (like Y's, Dragon Quest, etc). This one is a great mix of modern looks and some classic elements. Falcom is great for this. Definitely worth grabbing if you like classic RPG's.

    Trails of Cold Steel 3 has really good gameplay. I didn't really enjoy the story of this one compared to other games in the series. Playing this also requires knowledge of all the others games in the series to really enjoy it and understand a lot of what is going on.
