The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV - Opening

[@andrew_lim]

It's amazing the Trails series started with 2 siblings beating up forest animals, and now there's giant flying mechas

[@tonyepic8]

and family violence

[@memesfact1552]

kuro is even crazier than this lol

​@@memesfact1552like how crazy

@@tonyepic8 cant tell much without spoiling but yea time traveling is a thing in trails now

[@disgaealikerasapOG]

​@mariobros388 i mean reverie was pretty nutty. Must be a good prelude for what's to come in kuro

[@PLANTBAT]

I love this opening so much.

[@Viocote]

A surprise to be sure, but a pleasant one seeing you here, Plant 👀

[@vermilliondervish2172]

Same

[@Walamonga1313]

Same, I didn't think I'd like it this much lol

[@scottyxscxrs5483]

Same it made the journey finally feel like we were truly going to do something amazing

[@travishunstable5283]

I love this franchise. Basically it’s this and tales of which hold a spot in my heart much higher than any final fantasy ever will

[@EVERYWHERE_MAN]

Everyone is here Me: Kevin where are you

[@yamlime]

and wazy

[@muhammadzulfikarramadhan1652]

At least Wazy in Hajimari though lol.

[@chariothe9013]

playing sky sc seeing bobcat and glorious kinda hyped me up. just wow.

[@DoctorThor98]

I really need to get back into Trails... I'm falling behind because I'm rotating through so many other series right now. The next one I need to play is Reverie but since I'm about to move in with my fiancée and I want her to see all the stories of the ones I've already played, looks like I'll be playing through all the ones before Reverie again with her before I can play that and then beyond. At least it's falling behind for a good cause. Ah games. :) Gotta love 'em.

[@PrisonMike196]

Oh how I envy you...

[@cius2112]

That is actually so awesome.

[@Fubuckyy]

0:23 Best part

[@leatherwolf7481]

Just started cold steel 4 the other day and holy shit, this opening just makes this series even better and nostalgic. Damm glad I picked up all 4 games of the cold steel series. Next I gotta get through Hajimari no kiseki and Kuro no kiseki when that time comes.

[@DoctorThor98]

Yeah, same. I'm slacking though, I haven't finished Cold Steel 4 yet, even though I'm dying to see how it ends. I'm looking forward to the Crossbell arc coming to the West next year though!

[@DoctorThor98]

@generic name Got it. I know the gist from playing the first three Cold Steel games but yeah, still want to play them anyway in the most efficient order I can. Great series.

[@leatherwolf7481]

@generic name Indeed. I’ve already gotten Sky 1 so now need Sky 2 and 3 and then the cross bell games alongside Hajimari when that releases.

[@leatherwolf7481]

@generic name I should’ve gotten that patch for it so I could play it, but I don’t mind waiting till 2023.

[@leatherwolf7481]

@generic name I heard the cross bell fan patch was no longer available recently since NIS America went ahead and shut it down. Same thing with the Hajimari one, and made where those who already have the patches can still use them but they can’t distribute them. Either way I can wait for the official release, it’s not that big of a deal for me.

[@statesminds]

The part of song that hits when Rean starts running and slicing goes soooo hard haha. I also love the singer does the hyuhhh and goooo that a lot of hardcore bands do before a breakdown haha. I also really like the animation. It’s different than past entriesb

[@Yumegipsu]

Me sitting on the title screen to let this play each session.

[@shellman1yt816]

This song is awesome

[@liquideeriemusic4691]

imagine completing sky sc, really loving the game and realize i got 7 LOH to go.. sneak peaking in erebonia erebonia opening movies kinda makes you goose bumps 🥵

[@BakedBanana]

This is when things get serious.

[@Orazu10592]

Completely adore the feeling this opening gives us! We`ve been endlessly bamboozled, taken for fools and emotionaly decimated over the years we spent in Erebonia. But alas, finally this invokes the best notion of: "Fuck you all, it`s our turn now!!!" kind of emotion, an absolutely superb opening to the grand finale.

[@gwyn_ch]

Me after Cold Steel 3 ending: I DON'T NEED SLEEP, I NEED ANSWERS

[@SpanishFly120]

It took me a couple watches to notice it, but I like the extra detail of how all the Ironbloods are in their Blood & Iron uniforms...except for Claire.

[@VanceAsagi]

Aaaaaaaa aaaa aaa as aaaa *DOUBLE BASS KICK* That caught me off guard

[@rixiachannel3261]

really miss this game :(( i just finished 2 month ago waiting hajimari go to western

[@jeffevans3727]

It's coming!

[@nelsonl5501]

In 2023

[@Maderr4]

May Aidios be with you in your wait

[@ranime8156]

the fact that this game is getting an anime soon makes me so happy

[@togipoogaming3775]

more like side stories set in the trails of cold steel series yet an anime

[@krishnaprasad8712]

It's not about class 7

[@theredcomet844]

What?

[@key462]

It seems to cover some of the Erebonia region that wasn't get mentioned in the original cold steel like jurai sez and set in northern war so it's somewhere around Cold Steel 2

[@sacraner]

Well...sorta lol but yes so excited.

[@edmondmartinez9617]

Probably the best written rpg series out there. So many characters across this series and so much care it taken to try and develop them each in so many ways. Its rare to see that kind of effort in the game. Also its the most "Anime" series i have ever seen. Mechas, transformations, every conceiveable waifu possibility, loli's, vampires, tragic backstories galore, beach and vacation episodes, and playing the OP during the most hype moment or fight! (thanks for that cold steel 4).

[@DoctorThor98]

The writing, worldbuilding, music, plot points are all great but I can't help but imagine how much better it would be visually if Trails had the budget that Square Enix has with its games. It's not fair. :p That doesn't stop it from already being a great series. They need to get on the ball already and port the Trails in the Sky games to something I'll play them on and I need to get on the ball and keep up with the series before I get left way behind with the rate they're releasing games in the west right now. :)

[@heathers.7755]

I absolutely love the trails games, but lolis aren't a selling point. the gross loli shit just makes anime and games difficult to recommend to friends. it's straight up pedophilia and it needs to stop.

[@loiskamiya9164]

“Best written jrpg” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Cold Steel is fucking awful

[@edmondmartinez9617]

@@DoctorThor98 Nothing wrong with it's visuals at all. Yea cold steel 1 and two aren't the best, but they are ps3 games at the end of the day. I'd rather they keep the budget modest so we dont get pretty absolute garbage like starfield or days gone or trash like that. I view it like Ys 8, which is a genuinely beautiful game, but isn't anything advanced as far as graphics go. They key is to make what you have look good, not try and make it look like something real. Especially with an anime centric plot and tropes like this series is. They capture the style really well, and thats really all you need.

[@Artimes.]

One piece and Trails. the 2 major things that "Complete" me. Now its a race to see which finishes first

[@nehuen7949]

SO THE SAME 🙌

[@seanplaysgames2551]

The perfect intro doesnt exi-

[@kurokenshin2507]

Fr man, its just peak I really like this kind of energetic music, that i rarely find in anime opening

[@AsumiU.R]

Low-key hateed this opening when I first heard it, but now it's my favorite one of the Cold Steel series just cause its perfect after the adventure you had in four games

[@togipoogaming3775]

they finally had a budget to make an animated op lol

[@KoverasLongplays]

Start Zero-Azure on March, already starting this one, the opening its just awesome. Jisus, this franchise grab my arm super hard xDDD

[@vitorrcardim]

White hair is like supersayajin in trails

[@disgaealikerasapOG]

To think I got into this series by pirating it because of mother's basement and i had no money. Now here I am a full grown adult buying every new installment

[@McCaroni_Sup]

If only PC still had physical, because I would legit have an entire shelf dedicated purely to stocking physical copies of every Kiseki game.

[@DanBonRP]

omg altina is so fucking adorable. look at her giant hat!

[@francisflores6899]

The endgame of phase 3 going to phase 4

[@rean9408]

Haha, this was pretty cool

[@jamessnedeker4799]

I wish Men in Black was real because I would ask the agents to wipe all memory of these games so I can rediscover them.

[@hungrytaco6879]

These openings make wish there was an actual trails anime and not that weird one about the northern war

[@McCaroni_Sup]

That anime was actually what I wanted in concept, but not in execution. I wanted a Trails anime to not be about the main story, but about side stories that happen alongside the main plot of the games. I understand that would make it less accessible to people who just want to watch the anime, but when has the Kiseki series ever been accessible? We're like an exclusive club composed of people who are willing to dedicate hundreds of hours of their lives to playing through a bunch of JRPGs. Overall, I wish it focused more on Rean. That's our whole motivation for wanting a deeper glimpse into what the war with North Ambria was like.

Anyone got a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers flashback from that intro? That was the first thing I thought when I heard this in my play through!

[@damienlepeistenoir5793]

They must do trails of cold steel 4 in anime like all trails of cold steel

[@MuhammadFarizFauzi]

Cool

[@BakedBanana]

oh? Nice.

[@DeepestDankest]

I will never stop laughing at 1:29

[@DanBonRP]

every game has slowly become more and more anime lol.

[@McCaroni_Sup]

Trails has always been anime as hell. Sky was late 90s/early 2000s, Crossbell was late 2000s/early 2010s, and Cold Steel is mid 2010s to present. They were just reflecting the trends of the anime of their time.

[@Carlos-er1wp]

Why was rean wearing a mask in the opening?

[@SSJChaotic]

I think its mostly symbolism but would've been cool if it was in the game

[@McCaroni_Sup]

​@@SSJChaotic I just realized you're right, I've never seen that mask in-game lol.

[@holy9781]

I'm lost as why does the art look so off.it was so crisp in 3's opening.this one looks like space dandy later episodes...idk

[@Professional_garbage]

Kuro is better than sen

[@lenleon3699]

What is the point of comparing them when they are literally telling two separate arcs.

[@Rumiatingel]

debatable, if you don't include sen 4 then kuro would be better.

[@lenleon3699]

@@Rumiatingel Not including Sen 4 and Hajimari is like not including Sky SC when talking about the Sky games. From what I can tell Kuro was written like Zero (a solid standalone story but with plenty of things to explore in the sequel) while Cold Steel was written like Sky, where you have a whole storyline that only gets a conclusion in the last game (Sky 3 and Hajimari are epilogues created to expand the lore and backstories of the series)

[@Rumiatingel]

@@lenleon3699 Sen 4 claps with that wedding ending, hence its better than kuro

[@Aurumis_]

Cold Steel will always be better for how well made the plot is and having the best protag ;D
