Ah, those grand scenes when everyone gives the same conclusion but in different words:
"I think we should do the thing"
"We owe it to ourselves to do the thing"
"We don't know if we can do the thing, but we should at least try"
"Everyone's counting on us to do the thing"
"Let's do our best to do the thing!"
"We can do the thing, TOGETHER!"

Man I miss these games

Lol when I started up hajimari and all the MCs did this exact thing after >!breaking into orchis tower!< It felt like I had returned home after so many years

I loved Cold Steel IV but I remember thinking every character didn't HAVE to say something at EVERY one of these points.

Another_DotDotDot•

Yes, how else would you remember that Elliot is there if he doesn't remind you of that every 6 minutes

16
BigBadDogIV•

God I could have done without the Elliot reminders. Maybe it's just cause I'm not a music guy but I do not find Elliot interesting at all.

LaMystika•

I could’ve done without the old Class VII in those games tbh

BigBadDogIV•

That would be going to far for me. My main party always contained Alisa, Laura and Emma. Gaius too but that's because I love the Gralsritter.

honest to god it's become part of the charm to me at this point. it's so over the top and goofy that i can't help but crack a smile

Bingo. A trails game is so easily identifiable with these traits and it's just fun

Cold steel specifically...

Most jokes people make about the trails series only refer to cold steel

This is the thing that I'm hating about CSIV, there is more than 30 characters and everytime they have to speak their piece. God bless the auto fast skip.

12
LaMystika•

I dropped the game at the >!conference scene where like 45 characters showed up on some “remember me? when I did the thing 3-5 games ago?” type shit, while trying to justify why tf that one girl Kaela is in the game at all (and yes, I hate that I was able to recall her name from memory when she doesn’t fucking matter to the story at all)!<

-_Seth_-•

That was actually one of my favorite parts in the entire game.

SorvetedeCafe•

For everyone to say something when they are talking or discussing is ok, it's normal, but to do this at every boss is anoying, at least for me. Maybe that's why I liked CS3 better than the others Cold Steel: few characters.

Agree, theres just so much unnecessary dialog and circle jerk in the game but in the end i still really like the games.

Wat3r__b0y•

Ahh you are endangering my friends and/or entire world lets have little tea party and discuss how is life is in zemuria before the fight in which you are obviously not giving your all but still will let me carry on by sidestepping

Ynairo•

Accurate, and it gets even worse, because during some scenes, especially in CS4, the game blocks you from manually advancing dialog boxes, so If I want to skip the filler and cringe inducing motivational speeches, the only option is to skip the entire scene, with the obvious downside of potentially losing plot relevant information.

Probably the most accurate thing I've read today

IntrovertGamer95•

And that's a running theme in the series that's probably not going to stop anytime soon.

I'm fully expecting the Kuro no Kiseki arc to have a moment like this.

in Kuro 5 :The Real End of a Saga Disc 2

a total of 78 characters will each get one line as they all cram into a single room

And that's why the MCU started killing people off.

Only natural progression of the series as the devs strive to make any likeable character playable. Which is 95% of them
