I'm not satisfied at all personally... i feel Falcom are just rushing the whole thing while retconing a lot of story elements and characters because the story became way to big for them to recall about everything which happened in it (not surprising to be honest, Falcom were a bit too ahead of themselves by thinking they could handle over 10+ titles with an interconnected story), it's basically Falcom admitting they don't have any controls over the main narrative anymore, i don't see how it's a good thing honestly, prepare yourselves to see the Kiseki series being finished in the same way as BLEACH people, because that's what i'm fearing right now. A piece of fiction should surprise it's audience, it should be built to push them in a real situation of awe, not to create this cheap drama "cry for your waifu until you can get her back" which is pretty malicious in it's own way (honestly? i couldn't care less about Agnès), i can't even understand how someone could say "peak fiction" for a level of writing being this weak and inconsistant, even mid visual novels do way better than that, Falcom should change the main writer ASAP, Calvard arc is just a mess at this point it's not even funny. Going by what happened in the game, Agnès acted suspicious all along unlike the older titles and the fact she was contacted by Dr Hamilton of all people (who was already suspicious within Kuro 2 events) but didn't say anything to any ASO team members was already a red flag, it meant that something fishy happened during the very start of the game when Van and co where doing a test run for Marduk in the prologue, i don't know how people couldn't see that coming when it was so obvious, the less obvious part was when a certain someone became a certain thing but aside that, everything went according to fans expectations, imagine already figuring out the whole ending of a new game without even the need to play it, that's what Kiseki has become unfortunatly.

Yeah, i agree with everything you've said. A shame, the beginning of this arc was pretty interesting with a lot of gameplay changes and a cast of characters i really liked, except the action part which felt a bit too experimental for my taste, it still did get better going onward though, as a matter of fact, the only thing salvageable with Calvard games is it's gameplay evolution, the rest, not so much.

@@eireiemiya4136Indeed, Kuro 1 was pretty interesting for an arc opening that's true (not one of my favorite but i can give it a pass, Kuro 2 in other hand...), i won't lie though, there's time when i was "not again Falcom... try to be a little more creative please" especially in Tharbad and how the last chapter kept dragging on and on. I'm not really fond of the action part personally and Kai added something i wasn't fond about, the "Awakening" and "ZOC" system, Awakening is cheap because you can Awaken in field battle and enter in command battles without even worrying about spending any CPs to do so, making the mechanic pretty broken, the "ZOC" is interesting enough in Command Battles (a bit too permissive at times though) but serve absolutely no purpose in Field Battles (unless you just want to destroy some Poms without them getting away...). I'm also not fond of seeing Kiseki becoming Ys and Ys becoming Kiseki... (Ys IX and X especially) each series had their own identity and didn't need to copy each other to be good games, that's the biggest mistake Falcom have made in my opinion.

@@SeigiLeonhart The big problem i have with Kai no Kiseki is mostly how cheap the whole game feels, certainly does not deserve a full price tag based on how much content was reused from the two previous titles, in terms of locations aside Le Chardin and Anchorville nothing felt fresh or new, say whatever you want about Kuro 2 but at least we got the more new locations and the famous Nemeth Island which was the most fun part of the whole game, in Kai i didn't find anything as such, also GrimGarten is a worse version of MarchenGarten which was a worse version of Reverie Corridors. I won't say the word lazy since i'm sure Falcom employees are usually overworked and maybe underpaid, even Mitsuo Singa must have lost his love for music composition because of that (i recall him doing pretty good in Sen3, YS VIII and such), in other hand Toshihiro Kondo and Masayuki Kato deserve all the smack on the face they can get for all i care, Kondo for his lying habits which had gotten worse and Kato for bringing all the talents of Falcom down because of his pettiness and selfish tendancies... i will never forget the reason which pushed original Falcom JDK to disband personally.

Rean will be the one defeating guardian of septerion of time,maybe we will see valimar again
Either Sheena Dirke (based on the sword) or Sophie Gramheart (based on voice), either way probably someone that almost looks exactly the same as Agnes.

Imagine tho. Agnes somehow time-traveled to the past and stuck there, becomes Sheena Dirke. She misses her home, so she has it rebuilt... and ends up passing it down, eventually to her future self (Probably not, but funny to think about)
Guys, don’t forget McBurn and Majins aliens even they defeat the Time of Treasure in Kai 2. I bet starting from now, there’s gotta be 6 more years until the true end of Trail series. 2 years for Kai 2, 2 years for “Star Wars 1 against aliens” and 2 years for “Star Wars 2 against aliens”😂

this is the worst possible ending since it's a 20th anniversary title, I will give up if the next Kai game does not close this arc (or perhaps they want Kai 2: New Daybreak part 1, New Daybreak part 2,.. and so on) give us the true ending already Falcom!!
