![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While little about the Cold Steel IV story is entirely original, what Falcom does exceptionally well is taking a common trope and twisting the cliché in unpredictable ways. A top-notch localization, including fabulous voice acting, makes the characters of Erebonia spring to life. It should come as no surprise that Cold Steel IV does an excellent job bringing together all the clues that were scattered through the first three games while maintaining an overall incredibly consistent lore. With further refinements to an already solid combat system, a wonderful localization, and music that perfectly fits every high and low of the culmination of a long tale, there’s little to find fault with in the final chapter of the Cold Steel tale. Nihon Falcom has provided a rollercoaster of emotions wrapped in a 100-plus-hour adventure and fans of the Trails series will find this tale worth the heavy time investment. As the final part of the Erebonian saga, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV has an awful lot to resolve and plenty of expectations to live up to. The situation has rather slipped out of the heroes’ hands as allies perish, the Great Twilight kicks off, a continent wide war looks set to begin, and the main protagonist has fallen into the enemy’s hands. Although steps have been taken to remove specific details where possible, spoilers for Trails in the Sky, Trails of Cold Steel I-III, Zero no Kiseki, and Ao no Kiseki may be present. ![]()
