Fantastic series!

The final chapter of the Cold Steel arc, this game had a lot of plot threads to resolve, and had to live up to the previous games of the series. As an effect, this is easily the biggest game in the series, in many, many regards.

Gameplay is perfected from the previous games, with the battle and orbement systems being a perfected form of this arc's system - in general, still has a few points that in my opinion work worse than the previous system, but most have been worked on and in general the current format with two master quartz and many different of quarts with magic and status work well - to the point even mages are viable here.

The plot is... well, a lot. This would easily be two games worth of plot in the previous installments, but here it's, for better or worse, all put into one long game. It works as both a good closing chapter of the series, as a reminder of Crossbell (even if not everything is dealt well here) and a reunion from the Sky series in many ways. It's not the best game of the series plot-wise, but it's still a serviceable one with good moments for the fans of the series.

Overall, if you played the past games of the series and liked them, you'll probably like this one too. Some things could be dealt with better, but for better or worse, it does close this arc somewhat well, with a few small things open for both Reverie - where hopefully we'll finally see Crossbell's independence outside of ending cutscenes - and the next arcs.
