I fukks with van wouldnt mind him having 4 games like rean. Hopefully kai 2 has more crossover than 1 the first one but it was fire other than that.

Outside of Cold Steel that's the series norm. Crossbell and Sky were 2 main games and Reverie / 3rd to close it out. What's weird here is they did 2 main games in Daybreak but they haven't even really got to the main plot of it yet.

Honestly felt like with Cold Steel they saw how successful CS 1 & 2 were on the vita and tried to push more. Honestly from what I recall Japan was not a fan of CS 3 & 4 since it was clearly being milked and 4 being overloaded with fanservice bringing back old characters.

Also the writing quality dropped after CS 2. Since CS 3 was extremely padded and CS 4 was a mess direction wise.

I'm not a fan of the whole 90+ hour length they've padded these games to buy Cold Steel 3 & 4 at least had solid pacing and revelations. That being said 11-12 games in we should be hitting the end game and main plot of the series. They're losing people taking too long milking this. Daybreak 2 was just a bunch of stuff in mostly the same environments as the previous game and did little to move the plot.

The society has been a joke since their intro in the Sky series.

It's too many characters to properly manage. Some of the cut scenes in CS4 were awkward because there's 30 characters all standing around and everyone has to get a sentence in.

They should have stopped the Avengers assembling in games.

I haven't played since Kuro/Daybrak 1. To my understanding, this how far this series has gone if we look at the map from the first Kai game. If I had to guess, there would be at least 2 more games after the Kai games before it goes a major final games of sorts. Since the eastern part of the series hasn't been explored yet.

Imo they have been way too over ambitious. World building is fantastic, but the story quality doesn't quite match up to that after the Crossbell games.

When they get to the final arc they're gonna have to sideline so many characters people are gonna be upset. I mean I know you'll be able to play them in whatever random generated dungeon they come up with but in the main story they'll just be a whole bunch of cameos. At least the core 4 SSS can all 4 be guaranteed playable since it's 4 people.
