@@jwood291 you (the player) would've realize it if Kevin was in your party when confronting Weissmann, Thought everyone was concerned for Loewe wellbeing Kevin has a mission he must fulfill
Kevin killing Weissman is one of my favorite scenes in the series. I remember when I was first playing it, I was like, seriously? They're really going to let this absolute bastard get away? After literally every Enforcer on the way up the tower escaped, I was kind of annoyed that we were letting all these really troublesome villains live. But then Kevin shows up like the absolute chad he is and takes Weissman out without messing around. Now that's what I'd like to see more of, because let's face it, that guy was never going to be "redeemed" or anything. *AZURE SPOILERS BELOW* Now if only the SSS had nutted up and done the same to Mariabell, it really would've saved everyone a lot of trouble....
Yeah, with the Enforcers, even the right bastards have a backstory and aren't completely evil, Oroborous is an organisation that kinda gives it's agents a freedom you wouldn't expect, they act with their own interests in mind and can and will even fight against Oroborous itself, without any risk of being punished. Weissman on the other hand was kinda hated by everyone, the dude's main point is how incredibly irredeemable he is, it's like as if he became all what was fucked up about the North Ambrian disaster and moulded it into a person. The only person who even feels sad about his passing is the grandmaster themselves, everyone else hates him. When it comes to the bracers, they're simply good people and I don't think they could willingly kill even if they wanted to, hell even Joshua isn't that kinda guy anymore, Kevin though, until he gets over his shit in the Third he would've killed anyone he deemed heretical, he was heartless in a way too, but whereas Weissman took steps over that line of morality, Kevin just barely toed it. That being said, him killing Weissman with the salt pale is kinda fucked up, even when we consider who Weissman is. As for the SSS, I feel it's the same way, they're not so callous as to just kill someone, their sense of justice would naturally want them to have Mariabelle pay for her crimes in a cell rather than through death, not to mention the whole deal with Ellie and her, even if you're more than likely right and it would've been the better option just to off her.
@@shirosaki97 I get why the SSS did what they did from both an in-universe and out-of-universe position, but they will still never be as cool as Kevin. Lloyd agonizes over not being able to save the main antagonist of Zero, but Kevin felt exactly zero guilt for putting Weissman down.
That music when Weissman died was impeccably timed. He almost didn't deserve that music but...seeing how he was killed, not only because it seems cruel but also because of the circumstances of his youth, makes this death a sad one.
I remember seeing this video's title before finishing SC and all I could think was "Did I just get spoiled that Kevin's going to kill Loewe?" and being extremely wary of Kevin the entire game.
There are so many “men behind the men” in this series that it’s difficult to know who the true villain is. Hell, it's even hard to tell who's behind who.
@@friskkey169 That's just what they want you to think. The true villain is actually Claire, the young girl from Rolent who claims she wants to be a reporter. The truth is that she isn't a little girl at all....SHE IS ADIOS HERSELF IN CHILD FORM! That's how she manages to "uncover" everything that's happening with Estelle and her group seemingly through intuition alone. Of course she'd know everything. She's Adios herself and therefore knows all that will happen before it even begins. Truly she is a cunning and devious mastermind.
I think the entire trails series is underrated. I haven't seen a series do as good a job storytelling and world building across multiple games as Trails has. Its quickly become my favorite JRPG series of all time.
kevin Assasinated weissman is one of the few peaks of trails. spoler alert some others are: sky 3rd ending, star door 15, Renne storyline in zero, Kea changing timeline and Lloyd bring her back
Once by Cassius and once by Estelle, Loewe also scolded him back on the Glorious but not for making the wrong choice rather for being indecisive. When you think about it Joshua was scolded by his dad, his bro and his gf so it's literary a family trying to deal with a runaway teen. lol
So a bunch of friends and I are playing through the Trails series, two of my friends are up and coming VAs. For the fun of it, we decided to dub over these scenes (since we played the non-voiced PC version without EVO voice pack mod). Whilst we kinda abridged it, this scene I played Loewe and played it straight... All until 1:00... How do you get a whole group of friends to laugh for ten minutes straight? "I dunno... Blood's supposed to be on... The inside."
I’m playing through cold steel 3 right now and I have no idea how some people would be able to play it without playing the previous games. There are so many references and things brought up from previous games that I’d definitely be lost if I hadn’t played them beforehand.
@@supergohansonic I'm playing through CS 1 and even though the references aren't anything major, there's still a lot of little things and my knowledge of the previous games that have enhanced my experience playing CS1.
Glad I'm not the only one who's lucky enough to survive with just Estelle in the team. The rest just vanished 😔🤭🤣 Just wondering, does it make any difference if you survive Weissman with all party members alive, though?
Salt pale was hella terrifying.... I really believe that Aidios herself was more on the bad side. Like, she's not really goddess-y. Because her blessings were all bizarre and dangerous.
@@salviraa7382 Except it's well implied the Salt Pale has nothing to do with Aidios, but rather Divergent Beings with another reality/plane, and the Church Claims it's from Aidios to avoid causing panic about such things.
@@crosselsmith776 The Grandmaster can use divergent laws, it seems, doesn't mean the pales are linked to her. Aidios' gifts are non-divergent in source far as we know.
Wait... So they're just gonna leave the body there??? There was like 4 people in the last scene we see him, and they didn't bother taking the body, to give it a proper burial after they leave?
Everyone else: "LOEWE!"
Kevin: "Aight I'ma head out."
Professor Archimedes de Quincey wow never noticed him just disappearing right there. Nice small detail there.
Heretics must be hunted.

too bad Wazy didn't have what it takes to assassinate Mariabell, had Kevin was there, he'll show everyone why he used to called heretic hunter
Man the music is amazing. How it shifts from sinister to sad as Weissman notices it's the pillar of salt was so smooth
Do you happen to know the name of that track actually?
@@dbzdonovan I believe the song is "Release from the spell, and..." From trails in the sky FC

Olivier is the villain and the true protagonist. He'll burn the world down for us.
AuthorityCat Nah, Gilbert is the true villain of the story. He's in every game and is just going easy on everyone, waiting to unveil his final form!
You got it all wrong,Ricky and Anton are the real villains in the series.Always in exact place right before the disaster come.

Made even harsher when you learn that Weissman is from North Ambria and his whole family died in the original Salt Pale.

Does anyone know how many times Joshua got slapped and rebuked for abandoning his friends or wanting to died in this game?
oh

No. The cutscene is the exact same.
Knowing the history of the salt pale really does make the scene hit twice as hard.
Goddamn I love trails.

There is speculation that Adiós is the grandmaster of ouroborous. And the grandmaster can use divergent law.
@@crosselsmith776 The Grandmaster can use divergent laws, it seems, doesn't mean the pales are linked to her. Aidios' gifts are non-divergent in source far as we know.
@@crosselsmith776 now wonder grandmaster could get those swords of divergent law
kevin is pretty amazing
💯
Guess weissmann only delayed his fate. With him, his entire family died to the Salt Pale
Wait... So they're just gonna leave the body there??? There was like 4 people in the last scene we see him, and they didn't bother taking the body, to give it a proper burial after they leave?
Carrying a body fucking tough when you're running for your life.
Easily the best character in the Sky Arc
I would agree, which is saying something because there’s a lot of great characters...but Kevin is something special.
😮
Kevin is the protagonist version of Adachi
Meanwhile you've got Joshua, whose VA IS Adachi
Aidios Vult, you heathen.
oh
Why the fuck would you spoil in the title
