Huge thanks again to NISA for sponsoring today's video! Get your copy of Trails into Reverie! Seriously though folks, this 15 minute video will not do the series justice, and is in no way an adequate replacement for playing the series. Get out there and play these, they are phenomenal! And if you have already played them, I hope this video helped refresh your memory to get you prepared for Reverie! LET'S GOOO! :D
My man dressed up as the king😂 I just love it!!! On another note going through this game officially and a second time is going to be golden. A few pals of mine are at this point and I’m hype to this them play this.
It feels like we've been waiting for this one forever, and I'm glad it's finally (almost) here. Can't wait for Trails Into Reverie to consume the entire month of July for me outside of work. 😅
Wow, I can tell you put a lot of work into this video! Excellent choice of drip and great job providing a well written and presented refresher for players of the series before jumping into the next entry in the series! 👍
Lets go! I preordered Reverie, but I won't be able to play it yet since after playing Trails from Zero, I decided to play Trails in the Sky since there was a lot of references in Zero that I didn't understand. So far Trails in the Sky FC is GREAT! Especially since I applied the Evo voice mods to the game. Full Japanese voice acting is great! Great video!
I’ve been hearing how awesome the game is. From many sources. I picked up Trails from Zero and Azure a few months ago, thinking of starting a first play through of them tonight. Trails from Cold Steel is a favorite series so very much looking forward to the experience.
He hasn't finished the arc yet. A couple weeks ago he said on HitPoint he was in Chapter 3 of Cold Steel 3. It's possible he's started Cold Steel 4 by now. He started playing offline in hopes of finishing both games before Reverie came out, but that ended up not happening due to upgrading his streaming PC which took a lot longer than expected due to issues that came up during the upgrade process.
@@Magus427 I remember the issues with the PC mentioned, I must have not gotten to that edition of HitPoints though. As many UA-cam channels that were posting their thoughts onto Reverie, was surprised to see this video. Started Cold Steel 1 a bit ago and thought I might actually catch up if a break was being taken here.
Left a like, the outfit is awesome, but I've still got a lot of catching up to do, so I shall return when these spoilers are no longer spoilers for me xD
My day was ok, thanks. How was yours? Sadly I will not be playing reverie yet. I am currently in the middle of; Trails in the Sky 3rd, Trails from Zero, AND Trails of Cold Steel 4! Yes, I am aware that it is insane. But I started with Cold Steel 1-3, and then the start of 4 (plus one of your vids) convinced me I HAD to experience Estelle first hand! So I played Sky 1 & 2, and still haven't finished Steel 4. It's insane, but I'm having a ton of fun! 😎
The heroes of Zemuria have never actually defeated the society of Ouroboros. The Gospel plan finished and the goal was accomplished. The Phantasmal Blaze plan finished and the goal was accomplished. The society is 2 for 2. Our heroes might have won battles, but the society has won the two wars that matters.
I'm curious, how far did you manage to make it in your playthrough of Cold Steel 3/4 before having to film this? I'd be shocked if you actually managed to make it through all of CS4 already, which would be unfortunate if you had to spoil the games in order to film a recap of the series.
@@SuperDerek that knowledge makes the line in the spoiler warning about the video not being a substitute for playing the games hit that much harder 🥲 hopefully you'll still enjoy making your way through the rest of Cold Steel even if you now know most of the major plot details
do we know if the ps4 version is compatible with the ps5? I can only see the ps5 version being sold at 1 store here in Sweden and its for 70 dollars, which isnt an issue but just bought final fantasy 16 deluxe for 120 and going on a vacation in july ;)
from what I've read, the PS4 version of Reverie offers an upgrade path to the PS5 version, but save data is NOT compatible across the 2 different versions
Totally different is a bit much i'd say. The Mandolin is one of the closest that isn't a lute itself and is mostly the same in design. They're also both in the lute family of instruments, so it is actually technically _a_ lute, just not _the_ lute. On the other hand, that also lets you annoy people by persistently referring to guitars as lutes.
I barely managed to finish CS4 after finally getting my hands on Azure now that it came to the west officially (wanted Crossbell finished before i start 3) and still have TotK to deal with... and i work in tourism, so i'm short on time anyway currently. Somebody get me a time machine
is cool if I just skip Trails of Cold Steel series Its just so boring and I hear 2 doesnt even live up to the cliffhanger of 1 which is suppose to be the saving grace of 1 and 3 is only hyped because Skys and Crossbell characters show up. Cold Steel is really feeling like Captain Marvel and the random marvel movies that people say you should watch but dont really need and only say to watch it because they themselves wasted time so others should suffer too
@@SuperDerekholy moly I am sorry...I didnt mean it in a rude way...now you make me feel guilty I was just trying to joke and sound funny. Thanks a lot for the contents and I am also a big fan of JRPGs (playing since the 80s) and the Legend of Heroes series are one of my favorite!
@@SuperDerekTotally understandable and I apologize again if I offended you in any way shape or form, it was meant as a friendly teasing joke since Olivert is one of my favorite characters in the Legend of Heroes series.🙏🏻❤️💕
That fucking wig man hahahahahah. It looks like you've just skinned something then chucked varnish on it. Or its been windy and a shopping bag blew about and landed on your head. Good review though. Cheers.

BRAVO to this video! THAT is the love of JRPGS at its FINEST! 🤘
I will remember to come back and play this after beating it. Adding to my SAVED list.
Derek got the full drip. Never a better time to be JRPG fan.
Derek has come so far in his Trails journey

You know it's going to be a great review if cosplay is involved.
PrinceDerekJRPGs gave us all what we deserved. Loved this balled of a review Derek. Keep it up my guy!
I love you Derek!!! I'm so glad to see you have so many more videos on Trails now - and then the Olivier cosplay... god I've missed you
I would already give this a 10 out of 10 for the info, but the presentation with the cosplay, the decked out room.. Omg, amazing! 15 out of 10! 😫🥰

god bless you sir, I'm about to play reverie and couldn't remember much. This is exactly what I needed.
Mr. SuperDerek, am I to believe you have finished the Cold Steel arc already? Was hoping to see them continue to be streamed
He hasn't finished the arc yet. A couple weeks ago he said on HitPoint he was in Chapter 3 of Cold Steel 3. It's possible he's started Cold Steel 4 by now.

Going to start today, so excited! My favorite game series, perfection.

Ill have to come back to this one as soon as i get caught up! Only beaten the first two trails games so far
Keep up the good work! ❤
Aside from my coffee maker breaking down my day is pretty good thank you also love the Olivier cosplay very cool
Oh no! I hope you're able to get a new coffee maker soon. A day without coffee is a tough way to start the weekend!
@SuperDerek especially considering how often dad needs my help, I'll definitely need it
Thanks for the disclaimer since I'm starting up Azure.
My day was ok, thanks. How was yours?
Sadly I will not be playing reverie yet. I am currently in the middle of; Trails in the Sky 3rd, Trails from Zero, AND Trails of Cold Steel 4!

It's insane, but I'm having a ton of fun! 😎
I'm glad to hear it, on all counts! Sounds like that must be a wild ride!
It has been really interesting and fun to discover the characters and "big surprises" in reverse order. 😁
I had no idea this was coming so soon. I dont think Im going to be able to wrap FF16 in the next week, but Im going to have to try.
love the cosplay. The only other person that I can think of that puts this kind of effort into their reviews is Glass Reflection.
Tristan is an incredible reviewer of anime. I sincerely appreciate the compliment! :)
Didn't intend to comment again, but did you buy a mandolin just for this bit? What the heck? That's awesome and hilarious.
Yes, yes I did! I also learned to play Amber Amour for the bit, but I couldn't get a decent audio recording of it sadly.
The heroes of Zemuria have never actually defeated the society of Ouroboros. The Gospel plan finished and the goal was accomplished. The Phantasmal Blaze plan finished and the goal was accomplished. The society is 2 for 2. Our heroes might have won battles, but the society has won the two wars that matters.
Oh is this why the Cold Steel 3 streams stopped? Because you wanted to finish 3/4 before Reverie?
Yep. He wanted to make an attempt to get caught up before Reverie came out.
@@VyraLove Oh so he finished offstream?
@@ladinokrow Um... If I go by my knowledge of his play speed, probably not.
😬
@@SuperDerek It's a bit unfortunate, but i can totally understand it. Streaming these playthroughs takes up so much more time.
Nice hair Derek! Also, I have a confession. I Never played a Trails game!
I love the oliver cosplay
I'm so hype for Reverie!!!!!
It shocks me every time I come back for another video and see that he's not over 100K subs
He deserves 1 million!
SuperDerek w/ a wig = Diet Kieth Urban
My day is going well. Thanks.
You're nice my friend. I'm a fan from Brazil
Now you must sing Amber Amour 😂😂
Can’t watch since I’m not all the way caught up, but had to say that cosplay is on point 👍

@@Some_Random_Guy ah okay, then I will make sure to get the ps5 version !
Final Fantasy XVI and Trails into Reverie, GOTYs
You should visit anime expo in that outfit.
WTH derek nice hair bro ^^

You know some aspects of this plot are EXTREMELY similar to blazblue.
A mandolin is not a lute. Two totally different instruments.
Agreed, but it was the best I could do for the video. 😆

mr. reviewer did good for a change
😂
I picked a REALLY bad time to start Atelier Ryza 2 and Dragon Quest Builders 2...😭😭😭

must be nice to be an actor😮😮🙂🙂🎆🎇✨️

Your face doesnt suit prince Olivert at all...
I'll make sure to work on that for next time, I guess.
