at least

is that there's a character in there that sort of acts as a prelude to rean

rean follows a certain sword style and one of the strongest people in crossbell is a master in it

Does Rean have a love interest?

so cs is like

there's a bunch lol

Oh no

the romance is not part of plot really but

Is it just optional fluff?

there's a lot of romantic shit amongst the girls

for the most part it is yeah

Thank goodness

and it's nowhere near as bad as chad lloyd

lmao

"Chad Lloyd Fappings"

lloyd is already an almost fully developed character so every time he interacts with a girl it's like

the most bland light novel bullshit

ahhh yes fartios

rean has a firetruckton of problems

and i can't wait for 4 to blue ball me seening them till like half way through the game

unless we get the "talk of the chads" super early

cold steel also does a good job of power scaling with the main cast unlike Crossbell

Well, I guess that if romance writing isn't your best skill, then making it optional fluff is the best move

yeah that's my exact argument lol

cuz in both sky and crossbell, they had pretty badly written canonical romances
