>I think CS1 and 2 are the nadir of the series
Opposed to which zenith?
I enjoyed every falcom game so far (took longer breaks during Zero and FC, but not because I disliked them), and CS2 is way up there right now.
Rean's character arc is endearing and I really enjoy class VII's growth amidst the civil war. Cold Steel also has very fun side characters, which might be the most important part for me in a Trails game.
