[Submitted Theory] Who Is Standing Behind Rean?

Annotations regarding this theory being broken are below the cut.

Once again, we feature another theory from bronze frog from Gamefaqs!


That one promotional image that everyone has seen, talked about and made meme magic out of. You know the one.

We’ve all talked about how Rean looks, what he’s wearing, and especially whatever is that image behind him. And that’s the focus of today’s theory!

[Admin] New Tag: Sen no Kiseki III

It’s about damn time that we finally got this tag, especially as we are getting more and more Sen III related theories.

But why is it not called Trails of Cold Steel III? This is because as I state on the ‘search by title’ page, I have a setup going that the tags will switch to the English title once a localization has been announced, and I’d rather not let this give any chance for misleading- even if it’s most likely an eventuality.

Class VII – Graduating from Cold Steel II to Cold Steel III

Let’s talk about the characters of Class VII, and what is expected to happen to them, post-Cold Steel II.

More details are, of course, behind the cut, because of spoilers. Not only for CS2, though, I’ll make minor mentions of some information revealed in the NG+ quest, as well. (Though I won’t talk about THAT reveal.)

There will be one instance where I bring up 3rd, but it will be based on something from Translation Tuesday.

Hello, Mr. Nielsen! Who The Heck Are You?

Suspicious characters are suspicious. Suspicious journalists are something else entirely. He first appeared briefly in 3rd, and has since made another appearance that didn’t help his situation in being suspicious!

I’ve been extremely suspicious of this journalist since his first appearance in 3rd- but I’m glad to know that I’m not alone. In fact, I’m quite pleased to know that I’m not the only one who has made, and believes some of the things stated on a Japanese wiki. So instead of compiling everything I see, much of this will be translated from here, (Guan has translated it here) though I will also interject many personal anecdotes in this as well.

Note, there are MAJOR Ao no Kiseki spoilers in this post!
