End of a Golden Age: Trails of Cold Steel 3 Doesn't Match its Predecessors

The Trails series did something unique and amazing in RPGs: It created an entire world for an ongoing RPG saga, but more importantly FalCom stuck the landing on the first seven games in the series.

It was an amazing ride, but nothing lasts forever-- and the Trails series came back to Earth a bit with Cold Steel 3.

I discuss my mixed feelings on that this episode.

And I also discuss how the main character of Cold Steel is very much like the greatest hero in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
