* It was possible to play Cold Steel I without Zero/Ao spoilers, and Cold Steel II with only minimal such spoilers, but III probably won't make a lot of sense without the context of Zero/Ao. Currently, there's a great fan translation of Zero by the Geofront team [https://geofront.esterior.net/titles/trails-from-zero/ here], and one for Ao is nearing release [https://geofront.esterior.net/titles/trails-to-azure/ here]. If you can't wait for the Ao release before starting the game, there's a pretty good cleaned-up version of a beta translation [https://imgur.com/a/bQOs4kX here]. I recommend playing through those games first because they're way better than the Cold Steel games, anyway, but they'll also make the story make a good deal more sense. | * It was possible to play Cold Steel I without Zero/Ao spoilers, and Cold Steel II with only minimal such spoilers, but III probably won't make a lot of sense without the context of Zero/Ao.

If you've stuck with the series all the way through, you'll probably find even NG Nightmare pretty easy, and you can always slide the difficulty down if it poses too much of a problem for you. | ||
* The game adds a new effect called Break which puts enemies into a stun state pretty similar to Faint until their next turn. Combined with Delay-reducing orders, breaking an enemy once is essentially a guaranteed victory, so if you're having trouble surviving, just stack Break on a few characters and make use of the Sledgehammer Order once you've got it. | * The game adds a new effect called Break which puts enemies into a stun state pretty similar to Faint until their next turn.

* In most of the previous games, the big thing gating strong builds was a dearth of sepith of a given element, usually Wind or Time. Here, it's U-materials. In Chapter 4, you can eventually farm U-materials by fishing up Mega Arowana, but prior to that the best opportunities are usually in Einhel Keep or each chapter's final dungeon. You shouldn't really need to farm U-materials much, anyway, though, since the game is pretty easy even on NG Nightmare. | * In most of the previous games, the big thing gating strong builds was a dearth of sepith of a given element, usually Wind or Time.

You can sort of figure out which ones they are intuitively by the food or the values, but for thoroughness' sake, the Southern Punch, Fresh Tomato Noodles, Tomato Curry, and Hearty Kebab recipe sets all actually restore CP. | ||
