Check out the reviews, one of the best JRPGs to come out in the last few years.
Probably one of the best JRPGs I've played in a long time since Bravely Default and even longer before then
Continuing the trend of PS2, I expected similar games from PS3 since it launch, when I look back I cannot name more than four decent JRPGs for the system, this game is what we suppose have in 2007 or so.
NOTE: reviewing the PS Vita version of Trails of Cold SteelThe Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is one of the best JRPGs I've played in some time, and that's largely thanks to Falcom's treatment of the game
If you like story drive JRPGs this should be up your alley.
Trails in Cold Steel is a action/turn based rpg similar I would say to Persona in a very few ways.- Highschool bonding points (2-3) are given on free days to the main character to strengthen the "link" system for the battle system.- Basically bonding points give u strength in the battle system but unlike Persona it isn't what the whole game is about
I has friendship links, you go to class plus you got free days to do whatever
The days skip around to important events, and skip over the mundane day to day stuff you do in P3/P4
Basically, during "free days" (when school is out), your main protagonist has a chance to get involved in various events with different characters.
I like a game to be more open but not so open that you can feel lost as to what to do
I'm fifty hours into this game so far, combat was much harder than I thought at the start, but after grinding a bit I'm breezing through the end with very little difficulty
This is a meaty, story rich RPG that will often time test your patience, but the reward is a great story, fun combat system and a great time investment

Great music, great combat mechanics and mini games, likable characters, excellent story, 10/10 game.
Still, the combat might be a bit slow for some people, as there is some tactics involved; although not as complex or difficult as some games (looking at you, SMT4), it can still be a pain to forget the minor details, only to have them come back later to bite you in the ass

Simply delightful, this an awesome game, excelent graphics, excelent mechanics strong narrative and the open ending for a clear sequel.
The narrative is superb
(that's what my first playthrough clocked in at), I saw all the things I expect to see from a great RPG, plotwise: character development, solid worldbuilding and a narrative that kept me invested on seeing where it would end up
The difficulty on normal is well above what most games would consider normal
Postive note u can fast forward and skip with the circle button so please do not let this discourage u from buying this game
The bad:Poor difficulty balancing: I'm playing on NORMAL difficulty and am finding that some regular enemies will wipe out my party without grinding
However, a cool combat system, an interesting concept, multiple difficulty settings and some fantastic music come together to make it easily one of best treats for PS3 owners this year, as we reach the end of any new and creative games the PS3 may be receiving
Overall a good JRPG although complicated by poor difficulty balancing and necessity to either known or learn useless facts to gain points
Unlike most games in this genre, is wasn`t frustrating at all
Depending on your actions you can delay their turn or vic versa
If you manipulate the turn order so your turn falls on a bonus square, you can turn quite a profit
It follows the same basic combat in Trails in the Sky where each character takes their own turn to attack, gains CP when dealing/taking damage to use for Crafts and S-Crafts, elemental weaknesses, and bonuses during battle like Critical, HP Heal, and EP Heal
Postive note u can fast forward and skip with the circle button so please do not let this discourage u from buying this game
You are reading snippets from reviews of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Lionheart Edition - PlayStation Vita
While not the fastest-paced game, Cold Steel paces itself very well, having enough downtime between major events and battles for the player to not feel burnt out, as well as sprinkling story events and characters evenly across the board, instead of bunching up a lot of stuff all at once, then nothing for hours on end
and you do pretty similar things however in Trails of Cold Steel
Trails of Cold Steel is set in a different part of the world as Legend of Heroes
Completely different from the Legend of heroes trails in the sky sequels, and trails of cold steel
If you liked Trails in the Sky, then you really can't go wrong with Trails of Cold Steel

Style:PlayStation Vita
Taking place on the same continent as the fan favorite Trails in the Sky offshoot of Nihon Falcom's storied The Legend of Heroes franchise, Trails of Cold Steel (Sen no Kiseki in Japanese) is the first in the series to tread Erebonian soil and explore the inner political conflicts of this oft-mentioned powerhouse nation in detail
With a standalone story that also delves into the expansive lore that has become synonymous with the series, players can enjoy school life and bond with fellow students to earn new abilities in battle, take advantage of speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed "ARCUS" system, and uncover dramatic events that stand to change everything these two opposing social classes stand for
The “Lionheart Edition” contains an art book featuring over 100 pages of art from the game as well as its sequel, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, and a 1.5” pin displaying the emblem of the country of Erebonia, packaged with the game in a custom collectible clamshell-type box that will also be able to house the sequel when it releases in 2016 so that collectors can store the initial Cold Steel duology in a single package.
