ehh, this will be the long long wait Others' recommendations are good: I also recommend switching Zero and Azure's order with CS I and II. I really do not want to wait a year before this game release, and then another year for Azure, only to go through the already released Cold Steals. Even the ending of Cold Steel 2 hits a different way after having played Azure. Not just Divertissement (which is a vastly different experience), but the order of some events happening and how characters talk about things going on. Then I went back and played the end of Cold Steel 2 again - starting from late in chapter 2.īecause of that, I think it is more impactful to have played Zero and Azure before Cold Steel 2. That is exactly how I played the first time. So if you don't want spoils, stopping there is alright, but personally it's so close to the end of Cold Steel 2 you may as well just finish it. There is a Divertisement Chapter near the end of Cold Steel 2 that has you play as characters from Zero/Azure though. So if you don't want to just twittle your thumbs for a year waiting for Zero to release. As Zero and Azure take place roughly the same time as Cold Steel 1 & 2. Originally posted by Koby:Release order isn't really chronological order though. The number of events like that get expanded a lot in Cold Steel 3 and 4. Late in Cold Steel 2, things start to happen where it is really beneficial to have played the earlier games. There are events that happen in Cold Steel that have their full background presented in Zero and Azure, but most aren't critical to the plot. That said, though, it isn't particularly bad to play Cold Steel first just to see if you like the general aspects of the game, especially since that game is newer than these. The series has a lot of moments that feel more rewarding when you've played the earlier games. All the games have one overarching plot and involve people living on the same continent over the course of several years. They have a much bigger emotional impact playing the games that way.
