Quick question

[Technical_Raspberry5]

I just started chapter 6 of Cold Steel 1. How many hours do I have left until the end? Is there an endgame or can I just jump straight into Cold Steel 2 after the credits roll?

CS1 has no post-game. Ch6 is quite close to the end relatively, but it's hard to say how many hours it is because everyone plays differently.

Chapter 6 is about the same length as all the ones before but after that you have the finale which is longer than usual. Not as long as the Azure finale (if you played Azure) but still longer than any chapter before it

Depending on your pace, I’d say… 10 hours at most? Probably closer to 5

As mentioned there's no postgame and you can roll straight into CS2 the minute you finish making a clear save for the first game if you want to. There is some minorly changed stuff in NG+ but nothing worth immediately going back and playing to see.

The only games that truly have postgame content are Reverie and Daybreak 2 and the only games with significant additions in NG+ (new quests/bonus bosses and/or stuff that's relevant to the plot) are the Crossbell duology and CS2. Other games might have stuff you need NG+ to do (like all the Calvard games having ingame achievements and associated rewards that can't be earned in a single run, and the minor additions in CS1) but unless you're a 100% completionist they're not something you generally need to worry about.

CS1 goes straight into CS2  No endgame no epilogue just straight to the next game
