"They turned me into a bird, Rean!"
"I don't get it, that sounds exclusively beneficial-"
*"I'm a seagull!!!"*
The second trashiest bird on the planet, behind only the ibis
Rats of the sky and sea
Not the first time So this is basically had a character that turns into a bird
@@phantombloodmoon1471 but at least a crow is a cool bird....
Basically RWBY lmao
Same line aswell
The Enforcer's Guide to Fighting the Protagonist:
1. Wait at the end of an area to make your dramatic reveal
2. Monologue to the protagonists about how much stronger you are compared to them
3. Allow time for protagonists to return monologue about how you won't stand in their way
4. Snap your fingers to summon 2+ archaisms, not that you need them of course
5. Start the fight
6. Lose
7. Stand back up in a cutscene because you didn't _really_ lose
8. Repeat step 2 to a tired group of protagonists
9. Get stopped from delivering the final blow from
10. Snap your fingers and teleport away
Lmao. It was tolerable when they kept repeating it in Sky SC, a bit less so when they repeated it for the next seven games in the series. I've given up hope of ever being able to take these games completely seriously anymore, still love them though.
I wish that I had that cool Enforcer Snap SFX they use in these games on hand
Oh god that reminded me of trails 2. Damn that was annoying
TBF, they did a farily good job of making the Arianrhod fight and to a lesser the McBurn legitimately feel like you are out of your depth. Though that could just be because I play on hard. Also, fuck the second phase of True Zoro-Agruga.
@@golfer435 I can't remember it being this bad, besides in Trails of Cold Steel. While even characters escape after you beat them in trails in the sky you still beat them up.
Jello: Roast the shit out of the franchise.
Also Jello: Get sponsored by said franchise.

Yeah...I'm confused. So they say that 1 - 3 are completely pointless, but play 4 it's way better?
@@WiseIdiot9 you'll understand more nuance about the first three if you play them, but you can still jump in CS4 if you just want a summary of the first three.
@@WiseIdiot9 He said that 1-2 are pointless. He indicated that 3 was better, but still flawed.
@@WiseIdiot9 1-2 is is pointless in a sense it serve only as prologue
@@forstuffwow7145 literally. just finishe cs2 and I feel like the journey has just begun
As an avid fan of the trails series, this was... shockingly accurate.
I am currently in my senior year of high school, so I haven't got around to cold steel 4 yet. My parents are meeting family for thanksgiving, and leaving me behind t take care of the dog. Translation: Pour 6-7 pounds of kibble into a bucket, fill a bucket with water, leave the backdoor cracked so he can get in and out, then marathon cold steel 4 for 4 days straight. Maybe I'll livestream it and see if I can make it 96 straight hours. Replay to me and I'll see if I can do it with PlayStation share play. that would be fun as hell.
@@elijahcubilo535 dam son you are extremely behind. I suggest you buy the first three games called Trails in the Sky 1st chapter, 2nd chapter 3rd chapter.. The best thing this franchise has done even after Cold Steel 4, is there's no racism or hate speech directed at certain characters of ethnic backgrounds.
Well if you played the first 3 games some people do die.
@@lordvasileLive Already beat the trails in the sky trilogy, and trying to find a pc version of the crossbell trilogy.
@@elijahcubilo535 dam so much time on your hands lucky duck. Zero no kiseki i played through a popular enulator, Ao No kiseki no luck with English patch since it was sloppy failed English emulation. We better hope we get them on steam.
I’m not gonna lie Altinas “instructor... instructor please.... my gumball” was the cutest and at the same time saddest thing I ever heard ever. I really felt sorry for her.
To be fair it just plays very well off Rein having a mental breakdown from her unintentionally triggering his PTSD flashbacks...
Like you know he will of course gladly buy her even 10 gumballs on any other day... But he is damaged goods by this point who sometimes just does NOT function or react to common stuff like you would've expected which is as hilarious as it is sad.
Thats what happens when Xanthe voice acts in anything. They suddenly become the most sympathetic character you've ever seen! Lol
@@ianlawvoiceover1056 your not wrong there I felt like “no don’t worry altina here’s 100,000 Mira buy all the gum balls you want”
Tho I'm semi blind now on the series as I'm on the first hour of the second game 😅 , I'm assuming this is basically what altinas is like in 3? If so that's adorable lol
@@thejonbrownshow8470 Altina is basically like an empty shell that slowly becomes a cute adorable, expressive girl you must protect at all costs...whereas Millium is pretty much the same outside of who she's attached to each game.
Plot twist at the end of the game the “big bad” reveals YOU are actually the villain because romancing your sister is bad actually
"Step Sister"
"sad Alabama noises"
The fact that both the Princess and one of your students encourage them to fall for each other while the rest of the entire cast knows what is going on and just doesn't care, makes me worried about the decadent state in which Erebonia is heading.
It's not "bad" (I would argue that no one can tell you who to love. I hate how much control we still try to put on individual choices, emotions, relationships, and well everything), but scientifically if you are in the relationship and have... sex with the intent to make children then that's going to suck for the kids that are born (but I mean birth kinda sucks in general; you have no choice in being born and are forced to live in a pretty messed up world; like if you asked me to choose between never existing and living on this shitty earth with so many problems and horrible people, I'd have picked the former (though I guess I couldn't AND not exist; I'm getting off topic)). Ultimately we're just trying to 1) control morals and behavior through social control because we think it's gross (and somehow even if we're not involved or even know the people engaging in it, it just completely destroys our entire worlds) and 2) prevent inbreeding (because if done on a wide or large scale it does decrease our gene pool and makes us more susceptible to other health problems). The former is just humans being the worst and the latter is a legitimately good reason. That said we do forcibly Inbreed and selectively breed other animals for our entertainment, enjoyment, experiments, and gambling problems. Dog breeds are LITERALLY just inbred dogs (which is dog frequently and is getting REALLY REALLY BAD). So I just completely have no remorse on that reason. I'd say if we're gonna do it to that extent and that frequently and FORCIBLY on other species; we lose the right to complain when consenting adults do it in our own. My stance is that if it's consenting adults I don't give a shit what they get up to and I don't understand why anyone else does. Generally speaking it's not going to worsen any of our lives and it only can if overnight every single brother and sister wanted to have kids together. I see it the same as polygamy or homosexual relationships. It's two consenting intelligent communicating adults; who are we to tell them: "no you can't love X because ew" and then move on and never check up on that person again. You largely can't even decide who you love. That's just not how emotions work.
Pretty sure Princess Alfin is Evil. I bet this damn war was her idea. Oh shit, plot twist.
Rean's world collapsing at the mere mention of 50 mira is fucking gold.
Can someone explain it?
@@TurtleSauceGaming in CS1, a certain seagul tricks Rean into giving him 50 Mira to show him a magic trick. Even though hegets the right answer, the other party never gives hi his money back. Hook. Line. Sinker.
Truly so hilarious lol. I even reloaded a save to save my 50 mira lmao
The fact that they got the actual voice actors makes this video even better. And I almost died laughing when Jello said: "LOOK HOW STRONG THEIR CARD MUSCLES ARE! THEIR MUSCLES ARE *SNAKES*! EVERYONE IN THE WORLD IS A SECRET SNAKE CULTIST!!!" He sounded like he was either going to lose his mind or was trying desperately not to laugh when delivering those lines.
Yes
Everyone in the world actually is a snake cultist and I hate it, I just want them to LOSE.
Snecret
When you miss the sidequest that is literally only available between beating a boss and walking to the bus stop.
and then you learn the quest is beat the final boss first or sumthin' (i dont know i havent actually played)
Worst thing is, I wish you were joking, but pretty sure there is at least one like this per game in the franchise
@@AthmosTheGreat note to self: never play any trials of cold steel
@@nerosoul2506 Nah, you can play them, just not with a completionist mindset. xD
@@renookami4651 ill probably be annoyed but i can try and get something to play em on
“Did you start a second Discord server without me?” may be the most Machias line in the entire game
"Your secret society isn't very secret if every person we meet is in it" pretty accurately sums up one my main complaints about Orobouros in this series compared to Trails in the Sky
@@zckaiser Lol wut there were like 3: McBurn who didn't even hide the fact that he was Ouroboros, Sharon who might as well have not even been considered part of Ouroboros when you meet her, and Vita who was so alluring and mysterious that you weren't even surprised that she was Ouroboros. Every other member was already an established character who are all in Erebonia because their entire plan is currently happening there lol
In Sky you meet almost 10 members: Blueblanc, Loewe, Weissman, Joshua, Renne, Walter, Luciola, Campanella, and I guess by extension Gilbert.
Crossbell's not much better by revealing 3 Anguis, the Stahlritter, Shirley and Red Constellation, and the Doll Studio as one of Ouroboros's factories. The only other "Thirteen Factory" we've seen is the Gnomes who split from Ouroboros for Osbourne until Ouroboros started helping again in CS3...
Machias doesn't get very many lines through the series for me. Of course...I never bring him with me or use him unless I have to, but hey, lol.
@@SpanishFly120 I think Machias only rates a little bit higher than Jusis or Gaius... and maybe Ash too, such a late character and he is missing from your party near the end of 3 as well. But on that note, Gaius is pretty weak for pretty much all of 3 that you get to play with him, and those chapters already have tons of great guest characters.
@@michaelmiller7465 Part of Gaius being weak in 3 is that you don't get access to his busted S-Craft until really late in the game. Then it gets buffed in 4, lol.
Plot twist: the steel was never cold, it has always been warm
this one the best imo
nice one weeb
Lukewarm
Trails of room temperature steel)
"Trick you into playing another 80 hour RPG"
Only 80 hours huh. No wonder you didn't get all the recipes, etc.
i mean i plat cold steel 2 and possibly 1 if they dont have the 100 hrs achievement and got all recipes books and NG+ stuff at around 60-70 hrs
Didn't one of the Crossbell games straight up have a cheevo where you needed to play like 100 hours to unlock it? lmao
@@Vassilinia Trails in the couch !
"They turned me into a BIRD, Rean! Im a SEAGULL!"
Ah yes lmao more people becoming (noncursed) birds
Him and Qrow from RWBY would be best friends.
At least they didn't spell his name with a 'Q'
He can turn into a BIIIIIRD
I mean
Atleast he's in a game that doesn't drag out the plot for 3 extra seasons that have nothing to do with the story besides character development
Oh wait
*THAT'S EVERY FUCKING GAME AND TV SHOW EVER*
instructor? instructor, please... my gumball...
I like how both the “So This is Basically” videos Jello has released this year are sponsored by the game he’s covering, because of two reasons:
1. MORE MONEY FOR EPITHET ERASED! JELLO CAN GET OUT OF DEBT! SEASON 2!
2. It’s just really funny how these companies pay him to just absolutely talk relentless shit about their games, like he does not hold back, he just relentlessly insults them, and these sponsors are just cool with it. That’s just really funny to me.
Ikr! You'd expect these kinds of sponsor videos to be a bit more sanded down but they don't give a fuck! He's only genuinely complimented a series during the actual bit once on STIB and that was 4 years ago
It is more like a roast in good fun. He roasted p5 but it's a great game.
Its called being able to take a joke, which is something most people can’t do nowadays
@@TheAustronaut03 because everyone is offended by everything
To be fair, The RWBY one did make me check that out just to see if it was really that bad. So this may work in favor of the game either way.
Plot twist, the entire series was just Schera and Olivier drunkenly planning their wedding.
I can comfirm this as a super fan of the series even though Olivier was most likely pretending to dilly dallying for 90% of it.
Olivier? OLIVIER TWIST?? What twisted fate is this?
@@TheBeardedFrogSage probably the biggest twist of trails in the sky lol
@@nicogalax No that would be Weissman reveal.
@@boltinabottle6307 You know what? I felt the Weissman reveal was handled much, much better than the Crow reveal. I had my suspicions about Professor Alba from the start: how Joshua is always uncomfortable around him, how you find him hiding behind that pillar one time, and how you hear him in conversation with someone else when you enter Amberl tower the first time. There were hints in Sky FC that he was not what he seemed, not that he was evil (until the end) but at least that he was a lot more than what he seemed.
Crow caught me completely be surprise.
"From being bullied by his Classmates to being bullied by his students." Yep kind of sums up Rean. 😂
Yep. Pretty much.
It's funny that's the bit that made me realize "Oh right, I forgot Laura and Fie spend the first third/half of CS1 not liking each other at all", considering how close they are from CS2 onward, and how good of a battle duo they are for Linking, lol.
So Rean is just Byleth but sad?
@@davidtimmer596 more or less.
@@GilroyIronheart byleth if byleth isnt instantly a qualified teacher
Twist Ending: Crow is secretly Qrow's long-lost cousin, and no one knew yet because neither series can get around to actually having plot happen
They can turn into a bird. Funniest shit I’ve ever played
Lmao
Plot Twist, the real treasure was the friends you made along the way.

THEIR ORGANS WILL FETCH A FORTUNE ON THE BLACK MARKET
congrats for being the funniest person in this comment section
Slow down there rimworld
that turned out dark
Me after watching this:
“This series makes no sense, I love it I’ll give it a try.”
Me returning after playing the first 2 games:
“This makes too much sense, I don’t know if I should cry or laugh.”
b4 you drop into 3 rd cold steel i would advice going back and play through sky and Crosbell. or further events will make no sense (Like Divertisment part of CS2 lol )
Yup, play trails in the sky for the real beginning
don’t make the same mistake I did lmao
So I have a copy of 3 and 1 and no copy of 2
Should I go straight to 3
Play 1 and then 3
Or buy 2 anyway??

"The first two games were a giant waste of time!"
Scorched earth.
Cause first 2 games were localized by another company (XSEED), And NISA who did 3 and 4 not gonna pay for promotion of games they have no way of profiting from.
Well basically Nisa just care about 3 and 4 tho 😅
Its funnier when you know that the companies who own the rights to the first two games and the later 3 are completely separate. This was a tactical dunk
@@Istalior Actually, NIS America did publish CS 1 and 2... in Europe only, and only for PS3
One of my favorite quirks of the series is how utterly clunky and expositional the villain dilogue is. when two villains meet they inevitably have an exchange to the effect of:
"Is that not so, [name]? Or should I say, [nickname], weilder of the [weapon]"
"*devious snicker* well met yourself. It's an honor to speak to [name], the [nickname]"
And I'm, like... you guys are co-workers in the same government office. You see each other every day. Doesn't this get old?
Trails games feature writing that is simultaneously some of the best and most silly I've ever seen.
"It’s truly an honor to be able to fight the legendary [color] [noun]”
True😂
@@BroccoliBeat Blue Hedgehog
Well, when you reach the mark of 200+ character a refresher can be useful
"I will not back down from fighting the [Color] [Noun]. I'll show you the power of [family name] school"
Twist ending: The real panned cake..... was friendship.
I read that as Percy
But what was the real Gummed Ball?
I like how he simply describes Laura S. Arseid as "Sword"
it is so accurate, Laura's whole character is based on her swordsmanship.
"Then, at the last moment... the game will pop out the wildest, sauciest, saltiest twist you've ever seen and trick you into playing another 80 hour rpg just to see what happens next!"
As someone who's just seen the additional post-credits scene in Cold Steel 4, and is now eagerly awaiting Reverie's localisation, this is SO accurate! 😂
ugh I just finished CSIII that ending didnt have to go that hard man lmao
The fact yall telling me shit gets crazier even after the first one cause in on part two and that first twist was wild
@@princemwamba5230 that’s only the tip of the iceberg and CS1’s twist was crazy
I'm here after getting the plat in Trails into Reverie. I have two alternatives: read Nietzsche or wait for 3 games to be localized to find out what's going on.
Twist Ending: "Cold Steel" is actually a meta commentary that refers to how coldly you'll have to steel yourself waiting for the next JelloApocalypse video.
Plot twist:
The real enemy was the friends we made along the way...
This is almost painfully accurate.
It’s an enemy stand!!!
Wow, that actually makes sense
Judging by the video and comments, I don't think that's a twist tho xD
Rewatching this I've realized something. Making this video would require that the player love it enough to hyper-analyze the game to the point of deconstructing it to such a degree. Truly a labor of love.
Seems more like a work of mild distain from the viewpoint of someone who can't seperate ironic criticism for the sake of a joke from legitimate criticism
Most good parodies tend to be made with some degree of affection. See: Weird Al.
@@HellaGust I think Chuck Jones once said "parody what you love" or something to that effect.
@@KyunaCookiesall the split second details and references in the video tell me that he is a clear fan
@@chefofthetrash see, I'd think so if he didnt recommend skipping sky 3rd, a game that's plot is VITAL to contextualising the rest of the first half (up to reverie)
As cheesy as it is and as much eye rolling at "friendship is our power" speeches they pull.....i keep coming back and i love the series so much.
that game did something to me, man...
Oh god it got in my nerves by the end of iv though.
The whole ‘thank you so much if there is ever any way to thank you’, ‘we will beat this with class 7 new and old’.
😓😓😓
They literally call Rean out on it *in-universe*
My ridiculous twist ending for a Trails game that does not yet exist is this:
At the end of the game, you find out it was actually the ending of the Trails franchise as a whole, there will not be another 10 games, someone important to the plot actually dies, Rean doesn't give a speech about friendship, and after the end credits there's an ad revealing that the Crossbell arc will eventually be officially localized. Not a single fan would ever see it coming.
The plots not what would be unforeseen by the fans, no, it’s the localization of the Crossbell arc that would get them
@@regrahc7720 wait that’s illegal
Who here gets the feeling trails of coldsteal is basically a simulation like star ocean
Guess what? The Crossbell games are getting LOCALIZED!
@@Abbaschand
So I have heard. I never thought this twist ending would become canon but here we are.
Twist ending: the real protagonist was Adol Christof the whole time.

But laugh a Lot too, the games can be hilarious
People have to understand, porting Trails in the Sky already almost caused an entire suicide incident for the localization team, and the games just kept getting LONGER AND LONGER WITH MORE TEXT. The entire franchise is like rereading The Lord of the Rings thrice over, three times.

Twist ending: Cassius Bright's mustache is actually fake.
Twist: The fake mustache is the Ouroboros leader all along.
My god, what shock!
Now that's a surprise I didn't see coming!
Twist ending: The leader of Ouroboros is an actual snake, wearing a human suit. The society's evil plan is to use a series of super powerful relics to turn the entire content into a spaceship so she can go to the moon, which is made of cheese and therefore covered in mice. The final artifact is a stone fish, and only Rean, with his random fishing powers, can catch it before they can. The entire last dungeon of the Trails series is one long fishing mini-game. Also Alisha dies, but comes back 15 minutes later wearing a mask as if everyone doesn't know who she is. The game ends with Rean living the rest of his life single.

take a shot every time a character in trails says or does the following:
humble reply to any sort of compliment "I still got so much to learn"
female character showing their love/affection for a completely oblivious main character ("Huh, what are you guys even talking about?")
*character walks away with raised hand waving goodbye*
corny speech about the power of friendship
Somebody yelling "SHARON?!"
a dead character showing up again in the sequel
a boss fight happens where characters fight that literally have zero reason to fight except ("My pride as a member of XY forces me to do this despite totally agreeing with you guys!")
an ouroboros enforcer tracks you down, fights you, and then just loses interest and walks away or teleports away with nothing having been accomplished
- two characters see each other in combat for the first time, one identified the other’s weapon and says it’s neat, the other deflects saying other person’s weapon is also neat.
-a female character grossly and enthusiastically sexually assaults another female character, but no... they’re both girls, so that means it’s funny, actually.
-No matter what you do or how you do it, it turns out that everything is going just according to keikaku for the conspiracy, to the extent things might have been better if you’d just stayed home.
-Two characters pass cringey nicknames back and forth

@@chrom4141 Especially since I honestly never see any sort of interest from Agate. Like having the high school girls crushing on the badass hero dudes who saved their lives is totally reasonable. It being reciprocated - and *encouraged* by literally every other character - is weird as hell. I honestly really liked the "people from broken or dysfunctional families developing a wholesome sibling dynamic"-style relationships of Agate and Tita as well as Jusis and Millium. And then they start hinting at actual romance between them and it just gets gross. Or literally every character ever going "ooooooh are you gonna kiiiiiss?" because that isn't either juvenile or creepy pedo-enabling. Not to mention harassment of the people who have made it very clear it makes them uncomfortable, but if I've learned one thing from this series it's that sexual harassment is apparently funny.
This sort of bullshit (Rean all but buying Elise an orbal washer she might accidentally get stuck in, the harem bullshit, etc) would likely have had me drop the series if I wasn't so goddamn invested after seven or so games. By Cold Steel 3 and 4 some of the pairings the actual game pushes or at least hints at with zero subtlety are just *nasty.* One can make a beautiful rainbow of all kinds of cultures, sexual and romantic orientations without giving the stage over to pedophilia.
I have some hopes for Kuro, thinking that once the series leaves high school drama behind we can maybe get something that I as a grown-ass man can play without feeling like I'm gonna end up on some sort of watchlist, but maybe it's just time for me to accept that these aren't the days of Chrono Trigger or FF6 anymore. :(

Twist Ending: While Class 7 is attempting to overthrow the government, it is revealed the Goofy actually never died, and the entire thing was a setup for a ProZD video.
I never played these games, but golly I sure would like to.
I know about his "death" in I think kh 2 just from what I heard and saw, but never heard of prozd I'm pretty sure lol
Only months after watching it the first time did I realize that the "ingredients" for the plot sandwich are actualy in-game ingredient items. The detail, man.
The fact that some voice actors from the game are in this vid just made me feel so happy inside 😂 "did you guys make a discord server without me!?"
"Can't arrest the Wilbonians for war crimes when they're too busy being arrested for horny crimes" -JelloApocalypse, 2020

Jello: bullies the Trails of Cold Steel franchise for 5 minutes
Also Jello: gets sponsored by Trails of Cold Steel IV
I know right? What kind of contract did he sign that let him spoil huge parts of the series, bully it, say that two of the games are pointless, and still get paid?
Everyone! If you planning to play this game, dont watch this video, cus it's major spoliers.
PS: really recommended to play through Trails in the sky first, but if not, I guess you could start with Cold Steel 1
But never ever start straight away from Cold Steel 3!
@@psycholuigiman probably since its a promo for Cold steel 4, and it doesn't spoil anything from that game, thats the most likely reason.
Also probably the reason why he was able to get the Actual Voices of Rean, Altina (Oh, I mean Millium Alt Skin),AND and Machias in the video.
Is it really bullying if the gaming company as far as I know in Japan is by no means a "indie" compan? Like I'm sure despite the satirical and negative stuff he highlighted, I got the impression like with most stuff he does he just likes it, but maybe that's just me lol
@@thejonbrownshow8470 Oh yeah man. I hear ya. I can't speak for the OP, but I'm just using "bullying" in a playful tone. You know, like how this very video says Rean gets "bullied" by his classmates and students.
"Human Friendship Speech" is so shockingly accurate for Rean it hurts.
I'm pretty sure it hurts Rean just as much.
*calls Elliot boring*
Me: *Takes out my gun* WHAT DID YOU SAY TO MY SON?!
Elliot is a ray of sun in a world covered my dark clouds
To me Machias is the boring one.
Elliot is just baby but in an adult body
Me and my bro calls him bubble bitch
Why does that sound like something his dad would do if he been without elliot for years xD

The series is definitely not trash, I can guarantee you that.
@@Ed-1749 Kingdom Hearts says "hi"
Those aren’t really flaws though. Everything he “made fun of” is what us fans like about the series. It’s actually quite funny how spot on he is lol.
@@Drewsefer89 Exactly, facts.
Twist:
Everyone is bloodied, but won the final battle. Elliot and Gaius died, but no one cries because they forgot who they are just like I did when CS3 came out. Kevin is also there, but the everyone forgot him just like the devs. There's a clapping and suddenly Cassius walks out from the shadows.
"Good job, this was all according to plan as surely established in Sky FC"

“Jesus Joshua, what the hell did you put in these?”

I honestly just want to thank you for introducing me to the Kiseki/Trails series specifically the cold steel arc as I just started the Cold Steel arc on 12/19/2020 and finish it on 5/3/2021. After playing through all 4 games, I became a huge fan of the Trails series and eagerly await the next entry, also I now understand just how accurate this video is and find myself appreciating on a new level.
If you played only through "All 4" you not yet a kiseki fan. Play Trails in the sky and Crosbell games first XD
I do recommend getting into the sky and cross elk arcs as well because they hint at things that happen in cold steel 4 and onward
@@strwrbttlfrnt I watched ladyvirgilia detailed summary of the Crossbell arc back when I reached the Divertissement chapter of Cold Steel 2 and I watched the detailed summary of the Liberl arc after I beat Cold Steel 2 so I already know what happen, both the major and minor events of the games so I’m all caught up.
@@windknight4747 you should really play them even if you know what happens in them, the games are great and the character incredible, I don't think you will enjoy Reverie as much as you could if you don't play the liberl and crossbell arc. At least play zero and Azure if you don't want to play the sky games, there are some of the best scene in these of all the trails game, or even of all games that I have played, including Xenoblade chronicles 3 (maybe not better than the "execution" scene but that one is something else)
I’ve literally never played or heard of this series before.
Plot twist: the reason there’s always some kind of war or conspiracy waiting around the corner is that there’s a giant robot underneath the entire continent (that’s just how giant this robot is) and the only way to keep it from waking up and blowing everyone up is to keep its passive sensors overloaded with insane bullshit. Except by the point the heroes figure this out, the shipping war have gotten so intense that they are single-handedly keeping the robot asleep.
NEXT GAME: 80 hours of sewer tunnels and 120 hours of desperately attempting to keep the complex web of shipping from collapsing in on itself on pain of a giant robot exploding the continent.
A game that is so self-aware about its own shipping habits? Blasphemy!
(I think the idea's funny)

Rean and alfin are technically related?
Ah yes, the Japan only "Trails of Cold Steel: What Are You Doing, Step Bro?"
Twist Ending: it’s revealed everyone in the game is Rean’s long lost [NOUN]
That's it, the video that launched me into the trails universe. I knew nothing before and now i've played/watched every game. If I had known that this simple video would result in me spending so much of my time, well i would still watch it because it was worth it.
"Forward relentlessly, moving up friendlessly" will now be my battle cry
For someone like me who was just planning to get into the "Trails of" series, this makes me even more confused than I originally was.
why do i see you everywhere?
Well, the TL;DR is that there is a series called "The Legend of Heroes" and Trails in the Sky and Trails of Cold Steel are 2 sub-series in each, they are both amazing, Sky comes first and is split into 3 games (each well over 100 hours), Cold Steel comes second
and is on its fourth game - You don't need to have played Sky to understand Cold Steel, but Sky sets-up the events of Cold Steel.
@@nyx7664 Ummm do not forget about the Crossbell arc too which comes in between Sky and Cold steel. which not only does it includes characters from sky but it also heavily helps to setup stuff for cold steel while also being the best arc and games in the franchise.
Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure do not have official english translations but they do have fan translations with both being legally available to buy and with easy ways to patch it with english
Trails to Azure is genuinely the best game in the Trails series and it is sad that people skip it or only play Cold steel.
Just play Trails of the sky 1-3, then Zero no Esieki 1-2 then Trails of cold steel 1-3. It'll all make sense. And spend 600-500 hours doing so. Sky is around 50h * 3, trails is 100h * 3 minus some and zero no eskei and the other one is 50-100 I think.
@@nyx7664 you forget zero no kiseki and ao no kiseki
The best part of a sponsored "So This is Basically..." video is how the complete 180 shift between making fun of the game in detail to a serious advertisement about the game itself. It's like, the very next thing you do after exposing it, is asking people if they want it.
Also, Altina asking about the gumball machine is effing adorable.
You act like he hasn't done that before.

Twists Ending: everything makes sense in less than an hour.
This game main plot is that being Ream is suffering.
"Googling it will instantly spoil at least five other Trails games" MAN if this isn't still true in 2022.
The whole franchise is Adol Christin's high school fan fiction.
the Trails subseries, yes
I swear if there is a trails game where Adol shows up in I might actually die cause than I need to play all 37 Ys games
Are you telling me that Adol is a masochist?
@@gearhead417 There's a crossover PSP fighting game, but that's about it. And that game was Japan only and has a very minimal fan translation rn.
@@PenguinTM They really need to revist the crossover game and make a sequel for it much like how Square Enix did Final Fantasy Dissidia.
World work great if it's on PS4 and PS5 with cross platform play.
Plot twist: Crow actually spells his name with a Q, and doesn’t question that fact the whole time
I'm confused then. Wouldn't he be comrade Q if he spelled it with a Q and not comrade C?

agree
I'm on trails of zero working my way up to cold steel. If I watch this will it spoil anything major?
@@Jo-go8uj Nothing really major is spoiled, but I guess the ending is quite a spoiler with Osbourne and Rean (You will know in the end of CS2)
Twist ending: this was just all a fever dream M Night Shamylan was having after eating cold pizza and passing out while playing Fire Emblem Heroes
Imagine if the ending all the mecha, gods and whatnot comes together and then estelle just shows up and beats everyone with a stick and win from the power of *friendship*
UL-TRA-VI-O-LENCE

Estelle coming in and punching Rean in the face for being a stupid sadboy is literally the ideal outcome.
“If you surrender I promise not to break your legs~!!”

@WolfgangLMclain >the people who play these games have flexible standards
Haha... if "flexible" means .1-.2 percent tolerability... because trails of coldsteel, featuring REAN SCHWARZER from the LEGEND OF HEROES franchise, is literally the best JRPG series ever created... haha...
The reactions of the other students to the instructor's mental breakdown:
"Is he dead?"
"I don't know, he has been standing there not blinking for 45 seconds"
"and he's bald now as the fire gulfed up his hair"
Yep, coming back after beating all 4 of the Cold Steel games, this video is absolutely amazing. I also really appreciate that Rean, Altina, and Machias are actually voiced by their official voice actors.
Twist Ending: The hole academy is a giant, human eating, shapeshifting jelly monster, who came out of the sewer.
I mean... Wouldn't be too unheard of for CS
Plot Twist: The Empire of Wilbonia is not actually an empire, but in fact, an elaborate pyramid scheme, creating pretend schools and pretend wars in order to scam a bunch of teenagers into killing their leaders personal enemies, afterwords the stepsister dies do to a golden spear created of the power of rumors, causing the "empires" leader to reset the universe to one where she's the protagonist. The ramifications of the previous twist are ignored because in his next appearance he's dying. He'll also trap the original MC in hell for no reason.
I like watching these without any context. It's kind of like I just hit my head and have to pretend I havent lost all my memories
Gonna be honest with ya, I went into this video with extremely low expectations, but this was actually hilarious, and on point. Now I wish I knew another person in real life that was into Trails so “Instructor Rean... my gumball...” could be our weird inside joke.
Whoever voiced altina was fantastic.
Edit: I realized at the end of the video it was the real voice actors
Twist ending: Dorothee, the girl from the Literature Club, was actually the Grandmaster of Ouroboros all along, and reveals that the reason absolutely nothing happened in Cold Steel 1 and 2 was to put the focus of the fans (Ouroboros is aware of them, as they exist in a parallel universe, because by this point parallel universes have already been a thing in Trails for at least 6 games) towards shipping the characters with each other. Fandoms being fandoms, the vast majority of the shippings are non-heterosexual, and as Dorothee's power thrives on gay shipping, it has increased exponentially due to Cold Steel 1 and 2.
As such, she is now able to alter reality so that all of the gay shippings are now canon: Jusis and Machias kiss, Olivert gets with Bleublanc, Angelica gets literally every girl in Cold Steel and Crow gets revived (he's died again in Trails of Cold Steel XXIV) so that he can be together with Rean. The only pairing that is able to resist the gay shipping is Estelle and Joshua, as the fandom unequivocally agrees that they are the One True Pairing. Grandmaster Dorothee curses them, and the final final FINAL Trails game is about Estelle and Joshua finding a way to defeat Dorothee and convincing every other character to stop making out for a moment so they can help, ultimately cementing Estelle as the best JRPG protagonist known to man.

Plot twist: Rean is actually a mannequin being piloted by a sentient sword trying to make enough friends to become a Real Boy
Watching this again after a year, I just got the joke how Machias is probably the only character wearing glasses who isn't hiding something, not even about being a member of Ouroboros.
God I miss Estelle.

Do you have a smooth brain?
Plot twist: Rean's events and adventures so far were just a dream, his head hit the ground hard when he "saved" Alisa from her fall in the very first Class VII test in Trails of Cold Steel.
In Trails of Cold Steel XIX, he finally wakes up, finding that he has spent more than 10 years in a coma, that he's married to a certain Valimar, and that he has a snake named Ouroboros as his pet.
is this true it seems real
And that could really be true too ! xD
No is it the story of the game
Welcome to JRPG series where your allies became foes, your foes became your allies, then your friends became enemies then the enemies became your friends and the cycle repeats until the end of the game lol
Ah some villains actually died in the series and I’m glad they did.
Why is this such quality content. It makes me laugh so hard that I spit out my water every time I hear it.
Twist Ending - Machias is just playing dumb, He's secretly the REAL grandmaster of Ouroboros and the admin of that discord server on his alternative account.
Thinking in layers people
Twist Ending: So there’s this side character but he has a cousin who has a younger brother. That younger brother is also another side character but only on Tuesdays. It turns out he used something stupid probably to overthrow someone in power? Then he dies but he’s actually just lying on the floor maybe kind of dead(no). Turns out he was some orphan that sneaked in through the back door though none of this information was in the game these events took place.
Never played cold of steel, but sounds about right
I like how they get the actual voice actor
To voice the character in the series
This video singlehandedly made me love Macchias
