Question: what should i play after Trails of Cold Steel 4?

[u/Furious-M333]

I heard Reverie is not that good that's why i would like to skip it, so what comes after it in the series?

[u/Mintensity]

Reverie is very good, you probably shouldn't skip it

[u/Dreaming_Dreams]

do you listen to everyone on the internet when they say a game is bad? 

people call cold steel 4 the worst in the series but that probably didn’t stop you from playing 

[u/Furious-M333 → u/Dreaming_Dreams]

You got a point there my friend

[u/Negative-Squirrel81]

I wouldn't skip Reverie. Make sure you've played Zero and Azure first though.

[u/lushblush]

Don't know where you heard that but Reverie is quite well-loved by the fanbase and is likely among the least-divisive entries of the series

[u/Mintensity → u/lushblush]

This answer gets... 90 points!

[u/lushblush → u/Mintensity]

I've been approved by Lapis!

[u/Mintensity → u/lushblush]

Imagine choosing to skip this game. And then never knowing thatC can always pick out the real Lapis out of a pile of Lapises

Reverie is way better than cold steel 4 lol.

I heard Reverie is not that good

How many people have you heard that from? Sure it has its flaws, but it's not worse than the other Cold Steel games and it's far from being the weakest Trails game.  

Anyway the next game after Reverie is Trails through Daybreak.  But FYI Reverie story is important for lore and sets the foundation for the next arc so I do not recommend skipping it if you're invested in the story.

Reverie is solid and it's the capstone of every game up to that point. I could see stopping at almost any point before, but it seems crazy you'd play all the way through the series to the end of Cold Steel 4 but then not play the ending. It's like watching all 21 movies in the MCU but deciding to skip Avengers: Endgame because you heard one or two people say they didn't like it.

Reverie is also not just an ending, but sort of a prologue to the next arc in the series and if you intend on ever playing another entry going forward, you'd want to know that stuff.

Don't skip Reverie

It's a beaultiful full game sized epilog to the Crossbell and Cold Steel arcs. (Plus, you meet some new character there, that you'll regret not meeting if you skip ahead.)

It's the best Trails game ever? No, it isn't, but it doesn't have to be. It's a good Trails game? Yes, absolutely.

The only reason I can think of, that would me say you shouldn't play it (yet), is if you didn't play the Crossbell arc. In that case, go back to Zero and Azure, they're fenomenal! If not, go Reverie, it's a good time.

[u/FanIllustrious1422]

cs4 is probably the worst game in the series. reverie is imo probably one of the best lol.

[u/Known-Counter-6368]

Sky and crossbell if you have not played them already.

First Chapter

[u/LoudClass7324]

Reverie is way better than the very disappointing cold steel 4. 

[u/Niwrats]

if you somehow enjoyed the awful cold steel games, reverie should be perfectly fine. it is something of a minigame like sky 3, but with a bit more effort put in.

[u/CalicoCat1109]

Its a step up from CS4 but that doesn't mean its good. You should play it because it will make Daybreak look amazing in comparison.

[u/scytherman96]

Reverie had an overall much better and less divisive reception than Cold Steel IV and honestly i have no idea how you got that idea.

[u/KnoxZone]

Reverie is amazing. 

[u/AdolsLostSword]

Reverie is better than ToCS4 and sets up a key reveal that contextualises the Calvard arc.

[u/thegta5p]

Unfortunately you can’t skip Reverie since the next arc will use a lot of the setup from that game. Especially in the second game of the arc where characters that were introduced in Reverie make a return. On top certain plot points introduced in Reverie play a bigger role in the next arc.

I heard Reverie is not that good that's why i would like to skip it, so what comes after it in the series?

Where the hell did you hear that?? Reverie is well liked by most of the fandom

[u/Furious-M333 → u/Karmonado]

I asked the question in a group on Facebook 😅

[u/Changlee23]

Who told you that garbage? Reverie is litterally considered one of the best by the majority of the fandom

[u/medicamecanica]

You heard wrong, buddy.

[u/kapp92]

Reverie is not only good, but some say it’s their favorite in the series. You can start daybreak if you’re tired with Rean I suppose
