I've said this elsewhere, but what armour she's wearing gives me a similar vibe to Jaeger uniforms... which makes perfect sense for a North Ambrian as that's pretty much the only option the country had to sustain an economy after the Salt Pale.

This looks bad.

Original twitter pic looks good though.

On one hand, I'm glad Rean isn't going to be the MC. Rean-fatigue is real. On the other, I kind of miss him, but that's just the Stockholm Syndrome talking, haha...

so this is going to be a original story? i thought it takes place after cold steel 2 and before 3 (during the timeskip).
What exactly is this now? who should watch this? people who played trials? a complete new audience?
I still dont know what are they going to make here

Story is about the Erebonian annexation of North Ambria, which takes place over the course of two weeks, in between CS2 and CS3.

For Trails fans, it will be nice to see what North Ambria looks like, as at this point it is unlikely to ever be visited in the games. It would also be nice to get a story set from the perspective of a mercenary for hire, which has been a popular idea as the premise for a Trails game. Also, Rean will show up towards the end, and Rean is the most popular Trails character, so there's fanservice.

For non-Trails fans, it will hopefully be a gritty war anime and provide that Gundam-IBO style tragedy, and maybe get people interested in the series.

So we're getting the CS2 outfits again. Fits the timeframe and it'd be nice to see pre-instructor Rean again before my full-series replay. (Because yes, I do intend to do a full-series replay once Azure is officially out in the west)

I heard from someone who played this franchise that you have to play 6 games before watching this.
3 games from Sora no Kiseki and Cold Steel I II and III.

Technically, you just only need Cold Steel 1 and 2. No need for other 5 games before which is Trails in the Sky trilogy and Crossbell duology. This anime basically set up between Cold Steel 2 and 3, which can be consider that you have been spoiled on certain contents but needless to day, from what official says, it should be okay for newcomers as it only touch a bit of what can be taken from games.

>What exactly is this now? who should watch this? people who played trials? a complete new audience?

Basically everyone who interested in it, both players and non-players/newcomers/anime viewers. This anime touch upon an event that to us players have no knowledge about. We do only know bits and outcome of this event so other than that our knowledge is the same as non-players/newcomers/anime viewers knowledge.

The Trails fandom is full of cultists who fixate on the most inconsequential things. No, you do not need to have played every single game. I would strongly advise against it. The franchise never payoffs on the long term storylines it set up early on. Play each game for its own individual merits. If one game looks appealing to you because of its aesthetics or music or battle system or characters, then just go ahead and play that game. Don't play 8 games that don't appeal to you because a random person on the internet said you had to in order to enjoy some anime that you actually wanted to watch in the first place.

On it's own merits, I'm not sure if this show will be too good. Art and animation look meh. Story might be good if it's not written by Falcom. Trails fans are curious to see the new country the show is set in since it as it was described as an interesting place by NPCs, but was never explored in the games and it is unlikely it ever will be.

Kuro starts the grim. I mean some boss fights have some options where you can either save or kill that boss and Kuro Crimson sin have a alternate timeline cutscenes where characters die (Towa dying, they have it too)
