SUMMER FESTIVAL | Trails of Cold Steel III Gameplay Walkthrough Part 33 | No Commentary Ps5

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III[c] is a 2017 role-playing video game developed by Nihon Falcom. The game is a part of the Trails series, itself a part of the larger The Legend of Heroes series, and follows Trails of Cold Steel II (2014). Trails of Cold Steel III was released for the PlayStation 4 in Japan in September 2017 and worldwide in October 2019. Ports for Nintendo Switch, Windows, and Amazon Luna were released in 2020, with a port for Google Stadia following in April 2021. A PlayStation 5 port was released in February 2024. A sequel, Trails of Cold Steel IV, was released in 2018. The gameplay of Trails of Cold Steel III is similar to the previous two Trails of Cold Steel games, being a traditional Japanese role-playing video game with turn-based battles. An emphasis was made on speeding up battles, including making transitions into battle scenes more seamless, and being able to map out more battle commands to specific buttons rather than various menus; however, battles are still primarily menu-based.[1] The game contains a new system called "Brave Order" which lets players expend a new resource built up during battle called "Brave Points" to get special effects such as buffs or heals.[2] The new "Break" system was also added, which adds a "Break Gauge" bar to enemies. Attacking an enemy depletes its break gauge bar, and when fully depleted the enemy is weakened for one turn.[3] The story begins two years after the events of Trails of Cold Steel II, and several months after the Northern War between the Imperial Army of Erebonia and the Northern Jaegers of North Ambria, which resulted in the annexation of North Ambria into Erebonia. Rean Schwarzer, now an instructor at Thors Military Academy's Branch Campus, is the homeroom teacher of the new Class VII, consisting of Juna Crawford (an exchange student from Crossbell), Kurt Vander (a member of Vander family formerly guarding the Royal family), and Altina Orion (a member of the Intelligence Division and younger sister of Millium Orion). They are later joined by Ash Carbide from Raquel (who is later revealed to be an orphan of Hamel), and Musse Egret (a noble lady who is actually the heir of house Cayenne). While teaching his students, Rean is ordered by the Imperial government to resolve numerous conflicts arising across Erebonia (mainly caused by Ouroboros, who are trying to retake their 'Phantasmal Blaze Plan' stolen by Chancellor Osborne) as part of the campus's field exercises, assisted by his former classmates of the old Class VII. On their missions, they learn that Rutger Claussell (the Jaeger King and Fie's foster father) and Arianrhod the Steel Maiden (an anguis of Ouroboros who is actually Lianne Sandlot, an Erebonian historical figure), who were both presumed dead, are actually alive and the Awakeners of two of the Divine Knights, Zector and Argreion respectively. The group also learn more about the origins of the Divine Knights, chiefly that they are the fragments of the Great One, a being created when the Sept-Terrions of Fire and Earth fused into one after an intense battle between the two. The Kins of Fire and Earth worked together to contain the unstable Great One (giving birth to the seven Divine Knights), but were unable to contain its curse, which influenced Erebonia for many centuries and corrupted the people of the empire, leading to tragedies such as the Attack of the Dark Dragon, the Dark Ages, the War of the Lions, the Hamel tragedy, the Hundred Days War with Liberl, the annexation of Crossbell, and the Northern War. The groups later changed their names; the Kin of Fire became the Witches of the Hexen Clan (including Class VII member Emma), and the Kin of Earth became the Gnomes; the latter eventually cut ties with the former. #gameplay #gaming #nocommentary #walkthrough #trailsofcoldsteeliii #trailsofcoldsteel3 #rpggames #nihonfalcom #playstation #ps5 #ps5gameplay #ps5gaming
