Tio’s not in the list by the way, I just like her in the thumbnails. With a new arc right around the corner, I feel it was a good time to go over the characters I’m looking forward to making an appearance. These could be characters that have been mentioned to us but we’ve never seen on screen, or members of the cast who have not returned for a long time. There are spoilers up to CS4, and one for Hajimari. So if you want to avoid them, listen out for the spoiler warning in the video, or jump the time stamp: 0:00 - Introduction 0:51 - Entry 5 4:32 - Entry 4 (HAJIMARI SPOILERS) 7:46 - Entry 3 9:52 - Entry 2 12:31 - Entry 1
But Richard did have a cameo in cold steel 4 as cassius mentions that the sword he uses when he is about to fight rean is indeed Alan Richard's they may not show a picture of him but that was indeed his sword
I'd love to see Kevin return! I was skeptical when starting Trails in the Sky the 3rd with having Kevin as a protagonist but learning his backstory and seeing his character develop definitely made him into one of my favourite characters in the Trails series!
Given the share of amount of students from the branch campus in Cold steel 3 and 4, I would like to see some of them return, but as playable characters
I have a feeling the Princess stuff is setup for a Eight Leaves focused subplot in future games. Likely we will see all the practitioners return in regards to that
I would really love to see in a distant future a reunion of all Yun-Ka-fai and his disciples. It will not happen soon though as he probably have more disciples that we don’t know yet.
I think this is fated to happen, you're gonna need a reunion of the Eight Leaves in some aspect. Hopefully they'll include Richard in that despite him being a disciple of Cassius rather than Yun.
Well kevin did attend oliverts wedding during the true ending credits of trails of cold steel 4 so him being in a future game as either a npc or party member is still in the cards
Alan Richard - so happy I'm not alone! I think I could see a way for his cameo to happen - one his agents went AWOL in Calvard, leaving only a mysterious message or a message only significant to him, he sets off to investigate and meets with the new characters of Calvard or Jin. :)
Zin/Zane is another character I can really see making an appearance again. I'm just playing through FC and SC for the first time and I thought I wouldn't get on that much with this late-arrival character but he's a loveable bear and it'd be great to see him again.
@@TheKisekiNut Oh, I get completely why he's not on the list. It's like putting Mario on a list of characters we'd most like to see in the next Mario game.
@@formy52 I wouldn't say it's at that level. It's as simple as you can think of honestly, I want to see these 5 characters more than I want to see Zin. Blasphemy I know!
Its going to be a journey like none other. Take it slow and have patience when the starting of the first games of the different arcs feel a bit slow. As many have said before, if there is anything that deserves the title "worth it" its this series.
@@shadmannoor5878 Thanks. I will hopefully finish Tales of Symphonia this Week. And after that it's right ti Trails in the Sky. I want to play Estelles Game first and I will do it.
@@TheKisekiNut I saw the Crossbell Games on Steam. But in japanese. Do you think I could play the Game if someone made a Mod with the Geofront Patch? Then I wouldn't have to hope for a European Release. I hope someone is or will be making a Mod. Then I could just buy the japanese Version and still play the Game in English.

@@Nikita_Akashya Unfortunately Geofront have said they won't be working on the Kai versions, which are the ports going on Steam.

Understandable really, they've dedicated a lot of time to the project. They'll still provide a secure and easy way to get the game that works with the patch though. I've got Zero sat on my desktop ready to go when I've got the time.
I’m surprised you didn’t add Zin to that list! He’s the best Sky character by far, and had clearly what could be the most deep story of all trails characters, Obviously I jest, but I do hope we see Anelise some more!
I'm playing through Cold Steel IV now and am loving it. I appreciate how they handled your party over CSIII. With the size it has inflated to at this point, I like focusing on specific characters and having a few extras when needed. I can't wait to see how awesome Hajimari will be.
Though I agree it might not make a ton of narrative sense, it wouldn't be that shocking to see Richard in Calvard seeing as he seems to be hanging around Altair all the time. Only time will tell!
@@OTioRean Probably but it's still weird story-wise, or are they mentioned at least? I hope we'll see Kevin in the next games, he's one of the MC but is here for only 2 games out of 10 despite being just as cool as the other, compared to Estelle's 6, Lloyd's 6/7 (depending if you count the 5s we see him in CS3 as "being here") and Rean 5 it's ridiculous* Hajimari Even "C" is present in 5 games

He was also mentioned in Cold Steel 3 and 4 several times, saying that he and the other Gralsritter can't make it to the Empire because they're busy suppressing Ouroboros forces all over the continent. He also attends Olivert wedding. Over all, Kevin has appeared in 3 games and mentioned in 3 other games (Hajimari included)
@@third-ratedude4234 Yeah but he appear like Lloyd appear in CS3, for a little time and without being playable (despite some importance in the plot), while i understand that they didn't want to make his 3d model (and Ries' by extension) for 2s of screentime, it's still sad that a former MC keep being a back-up character Then again, i hope we'll see him take a more important role in future games, being a gralsritter, he can appear anywhere
I won't say Rean is weak but, the black Kurogane he fought was using something other than Lamda and not to mention it was in middle of night in the deepest part of forest where he must fend off against a Ninja who can't be seen and uses shadow clones yeah quite the challenge. I still looking forward to his evolution as Blade saint. As he said in the end 俺もまたゼロからやり直すのが必要だ。 which means I need to restart from zero again.
@@frankieyuen9363 Not really he never goes all out or get serious but this one incident will definitely change him. He is a young sword saint unlike Arios and also quite inexperienced with his natural abilities.
I've not seen no one mention him yet, but I expect McBurn. After his departure in CS4, I can't help but want to know what he realized after his 'transformation', and I was sure it related to major plot points somehow. So maybe not in Kuro that this will be fully disclosed, but just a few cameos to spoil me a glimpse of it is enough for me. BTW, the New Imperial Front Picnic Squad (lol) is another group I wish to see in the next few entries. Well, I just love the interpersonal interactions within this group. But likely not they make an appearance on the Calvard, maybe more of the north part of Zemuria I think.
You better hope Tio shows up TOO if you want spreadsheets! (I think she will though based on Haji!) Really nice video as usual, and thanks for using her as the thumbnail!! :D
Oof being held to ransom! The series will never be the same again if we don't give in to Kitsune's demands! :) Thanks for watching though my man, looking forward to the next inevitable project (hopefully in 2021) :).
I never realised how many people actually liked Zin so much that they want his return. I like the guy for sure, but he suffers from the same thing as Gaius or Elie, he's overshadowed by the stronger members of the cast.
@@TheKisekiNut I wouldn't say that. Zin is clearly an excellent and knowledgeable martial artist who is humble to the point of being too self critical of himself. Plus Walter will almost certainly be back and I will be curious to see how that relationship continues.
@@TheKisekiNut I think the reason why a lot of people want to see Zin return is precisely because of that: he's overshadowed in Liberl, while in Calvard he's a top of the line Bracer who now is practically on par with Arios in Crossbell. So it'd just feel natural to see more of him and potentially a different side of him back on his home turf being involved with a new cast.
I personally want to see more of Anelace and she could be what we need to see more of Yun ka fai. Also, thanks for the heads up for number 4! I decided not to jump and buy Haji this time and just wait for it’s localization.
I can’t wait to finish these games so I can actually watch your newer videos😂 had to stop playing sc3 cuz it felt like it was throwing characters at me that I should know, so now I’m working on the sky trilogy.
It would be an interesting premise for sure, especially as the role of Ouroboros evolves. They're definitely not your run of the mill 'evil organisation', and I feel that's where the church will start to come in. There's a lot of mysteries surrounding Zemuria, and fair bit of understanding will be revealed by these 2.
Hm...this “Princess” character’s description certainly sounds like a sort of merging of opposites, so to speak. Very evocative of number XIV of the Major Arcana, “Temperance”... ...I don’t know what sort of commitments she has with these ninjas, but could she be Enforcer XIV? Shirley still does stuff with the Red Constellation, after all. I’ll file her away in my list of suspects. Either way, I’m as excited to see more of her as you are.
For the next arc in Calvard (if it's even set there!), I expect all the characters or organisations associated with the country to be there. The Verne company, Zin, Kilika, Rixia and the characters you mentioned in the list. The only thing I don't know, is who will be the protagonist? Most likely an entirely new character, but with sooooooo much that has happened in the series it would feel illogical to have a protagonist who wasn't involved in any way until now. Either the protagonist is an established character, had to stay hidden due to circumstances or was living under the shadow of a more well known character.
Kondo has already said that the new arc will be led by an all new cast of characters. If I had to hazard a guess, the main protag is either going to be the image given to us with the Hajimari Limited Edition (from the calendar), or it will be the character from one of those final 3 episodes in Hajimari (which I won't mention if you're avoiding spoilers).
Top of my list would be number 4. Not the most ideal for newcomers and a new arc, but it would be interesting to play as someone who isn't a 'rookie' and grows through story not combat potential.
Yun Ka-Fai... With how much by writing have been helping others, how many connections he have made, as well how his students spread this. I kinda fear, they will introduce him just to, die at the hands how one antagonist just to set a trigger, because you know... Plot-wise, there's always a mentor who dies.
I'd love to see Gaius or Analace come back.... *spoilers* I feel like Gaius would be a great character to come back because of his connection to the Gralsritter and Analace because i always felt she was a fun character to have around i'd love for her to get some more development in a future arc especially because she is an eight leaves one blade practitioner
I think Rean needs to be put on the shelf for a little bit, maybe 1 or 2 games or people are gonna seriously burn out on him. I like the guy, but 5 games in a row is a bit much.
I would really love to have Yun ka-fai as a party/guest member at some point. If the next game is in calvard, Zin will most likely appear which would make me very happy
i think i'm alone on this but i realy want to see analace again i realy liked her but after trails in the sky third shapter we haven't seen her again (i haven't played hajimari no kiseki and i try not to get spoiled on charackters) also kilika and lucy would be cool too
@@TheKisekiNut wait realy i didn't know that intresting she was my personal fav female in the sky arc i'm pritty new to the series so i don't know much about the community thanks for the informing me bdw your vids are realy good and informetive keep up the good wurk
I just finished nightmare mode for my platinum trophy. I had no idea there was another hidden scene at the very end that was reminiscent of the end of trails in the sky the third
Yun kafai, Hime and Ein are who I’m looking forward to seeing the most , I feel like if Ein were to come Kevin’s sure come with right?...🥺maybe Toval too?...🤷♂️
I dunno about you but i'd like to see more of Kevin and Scarlet's story. Or just the more of the Gralsritter in general. But yeah i need to see more of Master Yun's journey, let's hope next trails game introduce him properly
I love Alan Richard also but at the same time, I don't feel he redeemed, or at least the man he lead really redeemded that much to his country. Not only attempted to take down the Queen and keep the princess hostage, the force he lead are willing to burn down orphanages, take innocent child as leverage and try to shoot one with poisoned bullet. The situation when he took in charge was at best a police state, or straight full dictatorship I would describe. He was a complete mess when Weissman played with his mind. Tho he help a lot when the capital is under acttacked, I still suprised that people of Liberl accept him like nothing happened. I'm happy with what he get at last and love his charcter but everything just comes too easy and too sweet for him. It don't feel he earnd that. Thus yes, I agree that I look forward to see his appearance in the future. To see any further deveoplment to his arc.
My concern with Hime is she sounds Mary Sue-ish and I don't use that term freely. Silver hair, younger than Rean, big sword, breaks his tachi, 0th Form... it's very fan fiction. I just hope I'm wrong and there's depth to her.
I can see through your thinly veiled deceits! I know your true #5 wasn't Alan Richard, it was....Kanone!! In all seriousness, Yun Ka-fai is a big one for me too. I played Sky before I played Cold Steel, and it was only when I replayed 3rd and saw pappy Elfead was actually someone who was important, I was shocked! (PS, you can spot Ein in the final credits of the "true" ending in CS4. I like to think she was Toval's "plus one" lol)
Ohhhh my man you saw right through me... sort of? (It was actually Angelica) :D I must have missed Ein on the final CS4 wedding scene though, I guess the eyes were watered over while watching it the first time around - more like Toval was Ein's plus one amirite???
I've yet to play Cold steel 4 (waiting for it to come to PC, which should be next year), but I happened on the scenes displayed during the true end's ending song (or I believe it is that ?), and (spoiler incoming) : Kevin is shown in the background with Ries, so I had (mistakenly ?) thought the guy was there in CS4... Apparently not the case then ? Makes me wonder then how he got there. Maybe Ries got attracted by all that food ?
I wouldn't read too much in to it. These are simply characters that I want to see again in the next arc (doesn't mean they haven't appeared recently, though I can understand that thought process).
okay, my bad then. Well I still get wanting Kevin reappearing, although from the church i'm rather expecting other, "new" dominion members from the Calvard Arc. time will tell to see what will truly happen.
@@glonthein Exactly, it's all guess work at the moment. But the Church is becoming more important now, we know that for a fact. So more Dominion members are likely to make their appearance.
@@TheKisekiNut Rean has faced many powerful opponents that are beyond his Viscount Arseid McBurn Aurelia LeGuin Arianrhod Chancellor Gilliath Osborne Ishmelga And his Normal Ending Self And it didn't break his tachi I think that Rean will make his tachi that can resist and equal the power of the Princess's odachi
@@thunderkravenrifthound2288 This is true, but she did catch him off guard for what it's worth, as he was fighting Kurogane at the time. But we also have no idea how strong the Princess is either, she could be on a level unto herself. Others have suggested that it's a representation of Rean not being the 'finished article' as a Divine Blade, and that there's still a gap between him and the other masters. I can see that aspect of it too.
@@TheKisekiNut and she mastered the Zeroth Form Twin Shadows And manage to beat Rean with his Spirit Unification Hope to see more of her in the next Trails games one of the best and important characters
@@TheKisekiNut y e s. A part of me still wishes that they didn't use the Stahlritter and zephyr for the final battle but Kevin, Ries and ein dropped in
Is it wrong that I feel they did Rean dirty in that one scene? I mean here we have a guy who was the protagonist of four games and he just gets his weapon destroyed by unknown princess girl? I honestly found it really disrespectful to Rean's journey. Why did we need Rean if there are still people who just cut his stuff in half on a whim?
@@alsosprachzarathustra4756 his sword was enough to save the world so... yeah that still doesn't sit well with me at all. Its a lazy narrative choice to 'up the ante' by making the problem look so big that our previous heroes cant handle it. I don't like it.
While I actually sort of agree with you, by Reans own admission, he still has a ways to go to really embrace his status as a Divine Blade. He *just* started.
I can see where you're coming from, but she also caught him off guard for what that's worth. Rean was fighting Kurogane at the time, and then she came in at the end. Maybe because he didn't guard properly it caused the blade to break. Or like others have said here, it's potentially a representation of Rean not being a 'Divine Blade' in the truest sense, and there is still a notable gap between him and the other masters.
Princess seems a bit of a wasted choice since she will almost certainly be in it anyway. Honestly though, I am more interested in characters like Kilika, Zin or Swin and Nadia. While I like it, I am a bit over the 8 leaves school rather hogging the limelight and wouldn't want it dominating a second arc. I would prefer more focus on Taito or another martial tradition because, as one of Kiseki's greatest strengths, diversity is best. Even beyond that, Martial techniques like the ones used by the Bracer Kurt in Sky have their roots in the east and I would love to see more on them (I would love to see the Artful Tactician back too but that seems less likely). I don't know. It feels a bit too much 'more of the same' for my liking.
Regardless of whether she's guaranteed to show up, she's still a character that I'm excited to see. We got the backstory, I want to see her, hence she's on the list.
Pretty much. The Church basically refuse to punish him, in fact they reward him. So he takes it in to his own hands, and hopefully someone or something on those missions will give him the retribution that he wants. The whole world of Phantasma was based off of that feeling he has of himself.
I think there's a reason why he's not there. The Church are becoming more prominent as we go further in to the Series, and I fully expect to see him again soon.
Tio’s not in the list by the way, I just like her in the thumbnails.
With a new arc right around the corner, I feel it was a good time to go over the characters I’m looking forward to making an appearance. These could be characters that have been mentioned to us but we’ve never seen on screen, or members of the cast who have not returned for a long time.

I personally want to see more of Anelace and she could be what we need to see more of Yun ka fai. Also, thanks for the heads up for number 4! I decided not to jump and buy Haji this time and just wait for it’s localization.
We'll likely see Anelace before we see Yun. I can't see a reason why she won't return.
@@TheKisekiNut Imagine a very deadly Eight Leaves technique from Anelace while she does her usual cutesy stuff... ^^
I can’t wait to finish these games so I can actually watch your newer videos😂 had to stop playing sc3 cuz it felt like it was throwing characters at me that I should know, so now I’m working on the sky trilogy.
Take your time bud, these videos won't be going anywhere. Enjoy the journey! :)
5) Rixia Mao
4) Gaius Worzel
3) Cedric Reise Arnor
2) Thousand Oathbreaker
1) C's whole group (from Reverie)
I'm interested in having a game where the main character is a fully fledged member of Ouroboros from start to finish
It would be an interesting premise for sure, especially as the role of Ouroboros evolves. They're definitely not your run of the mill 'evil organisation', and I feel that's where the church will start to come in. There's a lot of mysteries surrounding Zemuria, and fair bit of understanding will be revealed by these 2.
Hm...this “Princess” character’s description certainly sounds like a sort of merging of opposites, so to speak. Very evocative of number XIV of the Major Arcana, “Temperance”...
...I don’t know what sort of commitments she has with these ninjas, but could she be Enforcer XIV? Shirley still does stuff with the Red Constellation, after all.
I’ll file her away in my list of suspects. Either way, I’m as excited to see more of her as you are.
For the next arc in Calvard (if it's even set there!), I expect all the characters or organisations associated with the country to be there. The Verne company, Zin, Kilika, Rixia and the characters you mentioned in the list. The only thing I don't know, is who will be the protagonist? Most likely an entirely new character, but with sooooooo much that has happened in the series it would feel illogical to have a protagonist who wasn't involved in any way until now. Either the protagonist is an established character, had to stay hidden due to circumstances or was living under the shadow of a more well known character.
Kondo has already said that the new arc will be led by an all new cast of characters. If I had to hazard a guess, the main protag is either going to be the image given to us with the Hajimari Limited Edition (from the calendar), or it will be the character from one of those final 3 episodes in Hajimari (which I won't mention if you're avoiding spoilers).
Top of my list would be number 4. Not the most ideal for newcomers and a new arc, but it would be interesting to play as someone who isn't a 'rookie' and grows through story not combat potential.
Yun Ka-Fai... With how much by writing have been helping others, how many connections he have made, as well how his students spread this.
I kinda fear, they will introduce him just to, die at the hands how one antagonist just to set a trigger, because you know... Plot-wise, there's always a mentor who dies.
Might be the trigger for Anelace to get stronger 🥺
I'd love to see Gaius or Analace come back.... *spoilers*
I feel like Gaius would be a great character to come back because of his connection to the Gralsritter and Analace because i always felt she was a fun character to have around i'd love for her to get some more development in a future arc especially because she is an eight leaves one blade practitioner
I'd like to see more of the GM of Ouro but I'm guessing she's featured in Hajimari if she's not included on this list
I wouldn't read too much in to it, I'm just not too drawn in to the identity of the Grandmaster as compared to my anticipation for these 5.
Although we already have a lot of him already, I would not mind seeing Rean pop again.
And I really want to see Olivert again.
I think Rean needs to be put on the shelf for a little bit, maybe 1 or 2 games or people are gonna seriously burn out on him. I like the guy, but 5 games in a row is a bit much.
@@TheKisekiNut I can understand that, you do have a point. I guess it would be a bit much.
I'm definitely looking forward to this one after CS4! Still on Azure and Oh Boi this game has no breaks, the tensions are so high in this game haha!
Had to like the video as soon as i saw Alan
Sameeee!
Every character is lovely
I want to see all the eight leaves come together.
I would really love to have Yun ka-fai as a party/guest member at some point.
If the next game is in calvard, Zin will most likely appear which would make me very happy
I can definitely see him being a guest in the party for a small amount of time.
Bring back Anelace.
i think i'm alone on this but i realy want to see analace again i realy liked her but after trails in the sky third shapter we haven't seen her again (i haven't played hajimari no kiseki and i try not to get spoiled on charackters) also kilika and lucy would be cool too
You're definitely not alone, Anelace is a fan favourite and she was very close to making it on this list.
@@TheKisekiNut wait realy i didn't know that intresting she was my personal fav female in the sky arc i'm pritty new to the series so i don't know much about the community thanks for the informing me bdw your vids are realy good and informetive keep up the good wurk
I just finished nightmare mode for my platinum trophy. I had no idea there was another hidden scene at the very end that was reminiscent of the end of trails in the sky the third
Yeah, Falcom are known for this kind of stuff, they've been doing it quite a lot recently.
Yun kafai, Hime and Ein are who I’m looking forward to seeing the most , I feel like if Ein were to come Kevin’s sure come with right?...🥺maybe Toval too?...🤷♂️
I dunno about you but i'd like to see more of Kevin and Scarlet's story. Or just the more of the Gralsritter in general.
But yeah i need to see more of Master Yun's journey, let's hope next trails game introduce him properly
I hope we get to see the remaining Ouroboros members and Anguis, especially the ones from the Order of the Moonlight Horse
Oathbreaker was definitely high on my own personal list, he seems like an intriguing character after Cold Steel III especially.
Thanks for the video!
I love Alan Richard also but at the same time, I don't feel he redeemed, or at least the man he lead really redeemded that much to his country.
Not only attempted to take down the Queen and keep the princess hostage, the force he lead are willing to burn down orphanages, take innocent child as leverage and try to shoot one with poisoned bullet. The situation when he took in charge was at best a police state, or straight full dictatorship I would describe.
He was a complete mess when Weissman played with his mind. Tho he help a lot when the capital is under acttacked, I still suprised that people of Liberl accept him like nothing happened.
I'm happy with what he get at last and love his charcter but everything just comes too easy and too sweet for him. It don't feel he earnd that.
Thus yes, I agree that I look forward to see his appearance in the future. To see any further deveoplment to his arc.
The Grandmaster I want to see what the leader of Ouroboros looks like. But I do want to see Keven again as well.
Gm was shown after the true ending of CS4. Gm and Campanella talking about Orphi something plan pretty much continuation of phantasmal blaze plan.
My concern with Hime is she sounds Mary Sue-ish and I don't use that term freely. Silver hair, younger than Rean, big sword, breaks his tachi, 0th Form... it's very fan fiction.
I just hope I'm wrong and there's depth to her.
Why is Angelica not in this list???
Said no one ever
I mean this is... so true.
Her Taito trainer on the other hand 😏
@@chrisweech5857 a possible candidate is Kalika/Kilika.
swin and nadia and lapis in the background:
You don't think num.4 could be the Grandmaster? They look really similar
(5 Characters I Want To See Return)
Sigmund Orlando
Hartmann
Don Marconi
Duke Cayenne
Kevin Graham
I can see through your thinly veiled deceits! I know your true #5 wasn't Alan Richard, it was....Kanone!!
In all seriousness, Yun Ka-fai is a big one for me too. I played Sky before I played Cold Steel, and it was only when I replayed 3rd and saw pappy Elfead was actually someone who was important, I was shocked! (PS, you can spot Ein in the final credits of the "true" ending in CS4. I like to think she was Toval's "plus one" lol)
Ohhhh my man you saw right through me... sort of? (It was actually Angelica) :D
I must have missed Ein on the final CS4 wedding scene though, I guess the eyes were watered over while watching it the first time around - more like Toval was Ein's plus one amirite???
I've yet to play Cold steel 4 (waiting for it to come to PC, which should be next year), but I happened on the scenes displayed during the true end's ending song (or I believe it is that ?), and (spoiler incoming) :
Kevin is shown in the background with Ries, so I had (mistakenly ?) thought the guy was there in CS4... Apparently not the case then ? Makes me wonder then how he got there. Maybe Ries got attracted by all that food ?
I wouldn't read too much in to it. These are simply characters that I want to see again in the next arc (doesn't mean they haven't appeared recently, though I can understand that thought process).
okay, my bad then. Well I still get wanting Kevin reappearing, although from the church i'm rather expecting other, "new" dominion members from the Calvard Arc. time will tell to see what will truly happen.
@@glonthein Exactly, it's all guess work at the moment. But the Church is becoming more important now, we know that for a fact. So more Dominion members are likely to make their appearance.
Maybe the Princess's sword is made by some sort of powerful ore
I think her sword goes beyond Zemurian Ore, it seems to have some sort of mystical properties to it.
@@TheKisekiNut Rean has faced many powerful opponents that are beyond his
Viscount Arseid
McBurn
Aurelia LeGuin
Arianrhod
Chancellor Gilliath Osborne
Ishmelga
And his Normal Ending Self
And it didn't break his tachi
I think that Rean will make his tachi that can resist and equal the power of the Princess's odachi
@@thunderkravenrifthound2288 This is true, but she did catch him off guard for what it's worth, as he was fighting Kurogane at the time. But we also have no idea how strong the Princess is either, she could be on a level unto herself.
Others have suggested that it's a representation of Rean not being the 'finished article' as a Divine Blade, and that there's still a gap between him and the other masters. I can see that aspect of it too.
@@TheKisekiNut and she mastered the Zeroth Form Twin Shadows
And manage to beat Rean with his Spirit Unification
Hope to see more of her in the next Trails games one of the best and important characters
waiting for the next mounthly news you have something to talk about this time XD
What about Zin though 😔
What 'about' Zin?
JK, I do like the guy, but he never stood out as a character I want to see again, at least not in my top 5.
Renne's Family
yet another character added to rean's haremverse
We also see ein at oliviers wedding at the end of CS4
Yeah someone else mentioned that, I probably forgot it's been about 4 months since I played it! Still want more of her though.
@@TheKisekiNut y e s.
A part of me still wishes that they didn't use the Stahlritter and zephyr for the final battle but Kevin, Ries and ein dropped in
Tio in the thumbnail I see your a man of culture lol.
im curious how many years they will skipped
I want Wazy and Zin back
Is it wrong that I feel they did Rean dirty in that one scene? I mean here we have a guy who was the protagonist of four games and he just gets his weapon destroyed by unknown princess girl? I honestly found it really disrespectful to Rean's journey. Why did we need Rean if there are still people who just cut his stuff in half on a whim?
@@alsosprachzarathustra4756 his sword was enough to save the world so... yeah that still doesn't sit well with me at all. Its a lazy narrative choice to 'up the ante' by making the problem look so big that our previous heroes cant handle it. I don't like it.
While I actually sort of agree with you, by Reans own admission, he still has a ways to go to really embrace his status as a Divine Blade. He *just* started.
I can see where you're coming from, but she also caught him off guard for what that's worth. Rean was fighting Kurogane at the time, and then she came in at the end. Maybe because he didn't guard properly it caused the blade to break. Or like others have said here, it's potentially a representation of Rean not being a 'Divine Blade' in the truest sense, and there is still a notable gap between him and the other masters.
@@TheKisekiNut and everyone else thanks for the replies. I'm a big fan of what you're doing and keep up the great work!
Didn't the CS3 translation call Yun "she"?
Princess seems a bit of a wasted choice since she will almost certainly be in it anyway. Honestly though, I am more interested in characters like Kilika, Zin or Swin and Nadia. While I like it, I am a bit over the 8 leaves school rather hogging the limelight and wouldn't want it dominating a second arc. I would prefer more focus on Taito or another martial tradition because, as one of Kiseki's greatest strengths, diversity is best. Even beyond that, Martial techniques like the ones used by the Bracer Kurt in Sky have their roots in the east and I would love to see more on them (I would love to see the Artful Tactician back too but that seems less likely). I don't know. It feels a bit too much 'more of the same' for my liking.
Regardless of whether she's guaranteed to show up, she's still a character that I'm excited to see. We got the backstory, I want to see her, hence she's on the list.
This, i really want to see Taito takes a spot now...getting tired of 8 leaves already
So Kevin willingly sends himself on suicide missions? That's just sad
Pretty much. The Church basically refuse to punish him, in fact they reward him. So he takes it in to his own hands, and hopefully someone or something on those missions will give him the retribution that he wants. The whole world of Phantasma was based off of that feeling he has of himself.
Kevin should’ve been in CS4 smh, all thr other protags were there except him, he only makes a brief appearance in the True Ending to CS4 😔😔😔😔
I think there's a reason why he's not there. The Church are becoming more prominent as we go further in to the Series, and I fully expect to see him again soon.
@@TheKisekiNut i hope so, it feels like they forgot about my boi 😔
One Word RIXIA PLEASE
Isn't that two? :)
You lost me at the spoilers. Take a like for the warning though
