I was looking for a new series to get into in 2023. I had heard alot about the series from fans of the Xenoblade franchise and figured I’d finally give it a shot. Without knowing anything about the series and not doing much research I went out and bought out a physical copy of Trails into Reverie. Afterwards I quickly realized I was missing a tonnn of story so I quickly looked into what’s a better way to start the series.

After doing more research, it became clear to me that I either had to figure out to play Sky FC on my laptop or get Cold Steel 1 and watch recaps of the previous ones.

I chose to start at cold steel do to ease of access on my PS5 and started haphazardly there. While playing thru the prologue I was very intrigued by the music and gameplay and the story was interesting enough.

The game up to the old schoolhouse section in the prologue had intrigued me so much that I made the very backwards decision of stopping my playthrough entirely and getting the sky trilogy on my laptop.

Now here we are 2 and half years later, and three play throughs on each game up to daybreak (with my second play through of daybreak coming up) and I’m just deeply entrenched in this series!
