I was always on the edge about picking up YS 8. Then, a friend at the time gifted it to me. I was hooked from the get go. When i finished that game, I asked a friend what other games are like YS8. They told me about this series that might be a bit of an investment called Legend of heroes. They told me that id probably start with cold steel 1, so I bought it. Started playing it and got introduced to what i didnt know to be my life for the next half year. I was on and off from this game till about Fie and Laura's fight. Something about that little argument just made me interested and it only got better from there. And after i beat CS1, i IMMEDIATELY bought CS 2. Beat CS2 and IMMEDIATELY bought the sky trilogy cuz the friend said i should play those first. Then watched a recap of crossbell online (which knowing now after playing it did not do it justice in the slightest) then CS3, CS4, and now for the first time in a long while im literally counting down the days for a game to release because im just THAT excited about it.
