    I was onboard with this series until CS4. I hate the stupid bracer points system. I always need to use a guide to make sure I get all the stuff, but it always drags me down, since it takes forever.

    By CS4, I just completely lost track of WTF is going on, and quit midway through.

      Quite true that CS4 is kinda a low point in the series, it left me soo disappointed after how good Cold Steel 3 felt in comparison, and I hated how similar the plot felt to Cold Steel 2, and how slow things were happening for a game that should conclude everything in the arc.

      At the very least, Reverie felt like a step in the right direction, and the Daybreak arc felt better with the removal of romance options and side quests being a change from feeling like a bracer (since you are more on the grey side of things, you can blackmail people to solve a quest among other things).
