Probably my favourite part of the ending is how they managed to have more than enough hooks for the next game (I.E. "Where's the 8th Genesis Artifact?", "What's Gramhart's real plan?", "Why was Elroy *really* in Calvard?") without having to make it a cliffhanger.
@@zbigbozbboy5245 That first bit makes absolutely no sense because Claude Epstein made the Genesis' himself, but I *could* see the second one coming given how versatile they've been shown to be (Their main power seems to be to connect with the Beyond, which can lead to damn near anything considering the nature of that place). Do remember that the main use of the Genesis' according to Epstein himself is to prevent "the end of everything".
Is it weird that I kind of want this extended series to be over? Seriously. How many more "ancient artifact secret plots with 3 more layers of unrevealed secrets" are they going to do before sh1t actually hits the fan? More importantly. Would Falcom be capable of squeezing literally everybody into the plot for the literal final battle, more thoroughly than CS4? Because I can't see it happening without any of the already established badass characters that doesn't have an interest in the end of the world... Which ranges from "maybe Tita" to "definitely Shizuna". Removing anyone from the roster might probably start riots.
@@PuchimonExtreme not really, seriously Rean's Harem situation can properly have unique ending for each heroine if it not Kiseki games. Talk about the series though, you can fit 2 Septerion in one game like cold steel too. I have feeling that water and/or wind septerion in east connected to the desertification problem. I have feeling that Hajimari is prototype for the end of series. So each party have their own route
Literally my first ship is Van and Elaine. Really hope that they can amend their relationship in the future. They broke up not because they do not feel romantically and they still have feelings for each other from the way I see it
@@LOREWITHBLAZER he was said to be the agent in Calvard sent by the Grailslitter. So he'll likely play a key role like in Librel. Wazy, Thomas, and Gaius were playable Grailslitters too.
That's Ceris Oretesia, the Fourth Dominion. As far as I know, the resemblance between her and Shirley is coincidential. Heck, at 27, she's older than Randy.
@@guifire9747 For McBurn to join as a teammate we must fight like the ultimate boss in the whole saga lol. McBurn seems like the strongest character we have seen so far and he is still holding back a ton.
I wish falcom would just do a god damn global release with these games. Plenty of people in the west like the series. So it only is smart to do it that way
A lot of simultaneously game releases were result of big company with money and budget to build a localize division or hire another localize company for both to develop and localized contents of the game simultaneously, including prototype and soon-to-scraped contents. Falcom is a small company without their own localize division, they wouldn't be able to release simultaneously. If they waited until it was done localized to release the game worldwide, which proximately 1-2 years, that would caused a major financial problem.
When you think Schera grows up in the slum having to steal for a living, then went to be dancer, then bracer and then wife of the prince of the more powerful nation on the continent and possible empress to be, what a success story
@@sorenman1 Theoretically he's a bastard so he's not supposed to inherit over Alfin either way, but i can see Alfin either letting the throne to him (kinda like Rean is the Schwarzer's heir despite being not blood related) or giving him a really important position (like Osborne's) i mean Olivert is one of the most charismatic, well-loved and smart man of the empire, he would be an excellent emperor/chancellor Either way, being a princess by marriage is still impressive for someone who was born in the slums
Nihon Falcom said that they're not gonna work on a DLC but immediately continue working on the sequel. They also mentioned that Calvard will not be done with two games as they initially planned.
Ugh he looks too much like Rean but I'll still give it a try whenever they release it for US...rean is ok but was not my favorite MC. I think having all the girls fall in love with him in the 4th game kind of became annoying for me. Like let me breathe dang. Hahaha. Also, I know the stories are intertwined to some extent, but sometimes bringing the characters from the old games can be too much. Though not going to lie, Gaius, Aurelia, Emma, Sara, and Laura got a special place in my heart. Would like to see them more. Fie has grown up so much!

Kuro is just the tip of the iceberg
Look at the “Do Me” eyes Van and Elaine are giving each other at 18:57
Hes not capable to be with her yet, he doesn't want to hurt her.
And Rene just content to see his OTP vibing together

18:21 after so many years we finally get to see Kevin again
He was in CS4 true ending sir
@@swordartonline166 He skipped the credits hahahaha. Also the one of Analece and Toval on Calvard maybe.

I am amazed Van's second truck was able to survive this game
Oy don't Jinx it
It was a compensation from Walter who destroyed his first truck during a contract.
@@pauloazuela8488 I know but still don't want to see Van getting depressed should his second truck get destroy also.
This the first trails game in a while where I see they actually worked on the graphics.
Cool to see 8 Grahlsritter at the same time. And to see Olivert and Schera.
Finished it today. :) Cant wait for Kuro no Kiseki 2
15:53 MC From tokyo xanadu LMAO
yeah who was that...I just cant remember seeing him haha
That's Xin from Crossbell arc.. He was head of heiyue trading company from crossbell branch
Whoa, is that Shirley Orlando in the picture with all the Septian Church folk? Did she change sides over the course of Kuro?
That's Ceris Oretesia, the Fourth Dominion. As far as I know, the resemblance between her and Shirley is coincidential. Heck, at 27, she's older than Randy.
And she is very sensitive about her height... But her communication skill is like teenage boy level.
@@yoshikikitani9184 how do you guys know all this? The game isn't even out yet....or is it?
After playing this game 120 hours in 8 days and finished it, when I saw Nadia and Swyn in the car.... So he must worked with them in the past.
Ending was kinda like Zero. We might get some hyped Kuro 2 trailer where everything goes wild like Ao trailer reveal.
Barkhorn: "Haha, I only pretended to die."
I worder how long this game will take to come out in america
2024 earliest.
Its probaably late 2024 to 2025, probably 2025 there is still zero, ao, and hajimari needed to be translated
@@yosxky My bet is on 2026 the earliest and latest
Best game!!
Is that crossbell when have yin that one
No, that's Langport (AKA the Eastern Quarter)
Oh thx,still not play kuro,wait the eng version
Kevin and his spiky hair
Final Thoughts on this game.. guys?
This is not the end but just the begining...
@@terriltan99 To Be continued. Yes.
I will need to wait until a fansub or so to finally start seeing just the story.
Watching Van and Elaine is the most frustrating experience of "JUST FUCK ALREADY" i've had in a pretty long time.
@@maxjohnson65 more than Estelle and Joshua??
@@maxjohnson65 They used to date in high school so they might already have...

It actually demon lord
i wonder if in the final game we are going to fight Aidios with a party of more 200 characters

Why oliver look so old at 17:30 ?
Schara drain him every night, that why.😏

Probably the change in art style, similar to how the Erebonia arc's art style made Tio look younger than her appearance in the Crossbell games
@@guifire9747 Oliver is not the crown prince, he gave up his right to the throne. Alfin is next in line to the throne

Either way, being a princess by marriage is still impressive for someone who was born in the slums
So... Is there secret ending? For next arc?
Nope
Story arc is not over this was just the first game
0:23 The girl with side tail at the back poorly had her neck broken
So sad
to be continued oh boy and other game or dlc i bet

Wait like 4 years :( the next game will translate at 2023 and then they will translate this game
omg just release zero and ao so i can continue cold steel
Dude, play cold steel. When the Crossbell games come out, treat them as prequels.

Van is positively anti-simp
@@zbigbozbboy5245 Laura is average compared to the other three (bust size). Though overall Laura is best girl.
I know what you mean! This new protag kinda looks like a kid between Crow and CS3 Rean... I wonder if Rean's coat is a popular design in Calvard?
