There's not much I can say about this game that hasn't been said already. It has some of the highest highs as well as some of the lowest lows. A considerable chunk of the required story in the middle isn't relevant to the main plot. The sidequests, though, are I think easily the best in the series to date. They were generally more substantial, many being their own setpieces, continuing subnarratives from the previous game, or subnarratives from the current game, or involving callbacks going back as far as the very beginning. If you really don't like the worldbuilding or the sidequests, they are less required than ever—later in the game you aren't even required to do any of them. Make sure to read Three & Nine (the novel in this game). It's the best Trails novel to date, hands down, and reading it will also greatly increase your enjoyment in some parts of the next game. They nerfed the new battle mechanics from CS3 that were incredibly broken (well most of them anyway). While I feel they may have went a bit too far the other way, it still makes for a more nicely balanced game than last time, where you needed almost no effort to break it. Music is still great, not much more I can add there. Majority of the big lore reveals are still amazing, and I can't believe how they find ways to surprise you with some of them even this far in, when you know how the writing tends to work. Ultimately the dumb blockbuster movie decisions sown in the last game come to fruition here. But there are a lot of hype or emotional moments with many characters you know and love, and it cancels out with the disappointments to make a still solid game.

Хоть и эта часть, для меня не самая интересная в плане духоты сюжета, но это конец арки холодной стали, и черт возьми даже она была хороша, мне понравилось... В плане баланса эта часть в пролете, собираешь случайно имба билд всё, больше нет ничего сложного. Катценами задушили, но как еще поднести такую огромную историю я хз, но сократить явно можно было бы, а так даже оставила некую пустоту в душе.
Absolute Peak Cinema!! Я думал, что Azure уже не переплюнуть, но как же я ошибался. Было очень приятно вновь встретить всех героев из предыдущих частей.
This game was absolutely amazing from start to finish. A perfect conclusion to a 4 game long arc and great fanservice and callbacks. The plot points concluded were amazing and the character writing is on point as always. Rean gets too much hate imo. Can't wait to see where the series goes from here.
Had as much fun as the previous games.

Boring and endless. I've played every entry prior to this, Sky and Crossbell included, do not bother with this one. The Cold Steel games do not respect the players time, and Falcom has outdone themselves here in that respect. For me no possible ending could be worth suffering this slog.
I am a fan of Trails, but this game is so full of bloat and cringe I don't know where to start. 1) Falcom can't make a hard decision about any character, so the whole "World War about the start" feel so silly cause you know nobody gonna die just like the civil war in Cold Steel II. 2) Too many lines. Dev team decided to bring in 30-40 characters, and feel the need everyone of them need to have a conversation. Even in the heat of battle there has to be a conversation. It got so satirical some characters had to step in say "Guys, cut the conversation it is a battle we gtg"....but conversation still have to go for another 15 minutes. 3) I agree with you but is my job to stop you-It is like holy crap everyone has to go into combat to "test your ideals" it eventually felt like a satire of a JRPG. I am surprised I didn't get into a death duel with the local Starbucks barrista over coffee flavor -_-;; 4) Every girl need to fall into love with the MC. I read harem stories now and then, but even I felt the whole thing is too cringy.
CS4 fulfills its destiny. Wholesome experience from all perspectives. Extraordinarily detailed story events, multiple cutscenes. Full of emotional and immersive dialogues. Side quests are not there just for grinding mira and XP but actually play a crucial part to the unfolding story events. Graphics and gameplay on a whole other level than its predecessor. Very friendly to a newcomer in the series, super detailed. Music is as always marvelous. A breathtaking revelation.
Pacing is a slog, barely anything relevant happens on act 2. by the time you reach the final chapter you want to be done with the game... this is making me want to drop the series, the ending is not that satisfying I can't recommend this after how amazing CS3 was. it's a good and fun game but in my opinion not a great culmination for a very interesting story.
