BACK TO STUDENT LIFE | Trails of Cold Steel II Gameplay Walkthrough part 23 | No Commentary PS5
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II[c] is a 2014 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 (2013). It was first released in Japan for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita before being localized into English by Xseed Games in 2016. A Windows port by Xseed was released in February 2018, while a remastered version for the PlayStation 4 was released in Japan in April 2018 and worldwide in June 2019. A port for Nintendo Switch was released in Asia in 2021. A sequel, Trails of Cold Steel III, was released in late 2017. The gameplay of Trails of Cold Steel II is similar to the first Trails of Cold Steel game, being a traditional Japanese role-playing video game with turn-based battles.[1] Game progression is no longer tied to the school schedule structure of the original, with the game now centered around traveling the world rather than attending classes.[2] If the player has a completed game save file from the prior game, it has an effect in Cold Steel II, with certain events and dialogues playing out differently based on choices and relationships built in the first game.[3] Beginning one month after the original Trails of Cold Steel and concurrently alongside the final chapter of Trails to Azure, Rean Schwarzer awakens from a month-long coma after being evacuated from Trista by Valimar. He makes it to his hometown of Ymir with the assistance of bracer Toval Randonneur, but quickly finds himself and his loved ones caught in the crossfire of the war. Rean's opponents are the Noble Alliance (backed by the Imperial Liberation Front), and Ouroboros, a secretive crime syndicate. Students from Thors Military Academy, including those from Class VII, have been scattered across the country; Rean resolves to find his classmates, put an end to the civil war, and save those he cares about. After Rean gathers the scattered students, resolving conflicts across eastern Erebonia in the process, he leads them in liberating Thors from the Noble Alliance. During their journey, they find many parallels between the modern civil war and the War of the Lions, a civil war that took place 250 years ago in Erebonia and was ended by the former Awakener of Valimar, Dreichels the Lionheart who became emperor afterwards. The members of Class VII attack the Erebonian capital of Heimdallr to stop the Noble Alliance and end the war. They succeed, but at the cost of the life of Crow Armbrust, former member of Class VII and leader of the Imperial Liberation Front, who defects from the Alliance to save Erebonia's Crown Prince Cedric from the Divine Knight Testa-Rossa, cursed and corrupted into a monster called the Vermillion Apocalypse. Chancellor Osborne, believed to have been assassinated by Crow at the start of the war, arrives to seize control of the situation. He reveals his intent to take over Ouroboros's "Phantasmal Blaze Plan", annex Crossbell State, and that he is Rean's biological father. After the war, the Noble Faction's power is diminished while the Chancellor's is expanded. Before the end of the school year, the members of Class VII overcome one final trial in the old schoolhouse. At the end of their first year, all Class VII members except Rean choose to graduate from Thors early, making a vow to improve in their respective specialties and face the impending turbulent times together. #gameplay #gaming #nocommentary #walkthrough #trailsofcoldsteel2 #trailsofcoldsteelii #trailsofcoldsteel2gameplay #rpggames #nihonfalcom #playstation #ps5 #ps5gameplay #ps5gaming
