I will give one nitpick though. I am not much a fan of Rean being some kind of "chosen one". I am just too old for that kind of thing to be cool anymore.
But I will give it a pass since we get to play with a giant robot. Granted it was like in the last 10 minutes of the game but I expect that to be more frequent in later entries. :blobcatlaugh:

@rakuno@gamepad.club FWIW I *think* the "chosen one" stuff gets largely justified in the later Cold Steel games - or at least muddled together with such a complex web of lore that you lose track of what's arbitrary fantasy hero tropes and what is justifiably related to [massive pile of worldbuilding and backstory spoilers]. CS2 is probably my favorite Trails game. It's so satisfying after the slow build up of CS1 finally breaks and suddenly there's PLOT everywhere.
