This is for anyone who is either new to the series or coming from the remakes!!!!!

Do not skip a single game, unless you want to be confused or spoiled!!!!!!! These games aren't meant to be skipped. If you can't play something after like Sky 3rd due to not having a PC or not liking the graphics. Then stop there and wait for the Remake. Same for all the other games, no matter what these games all converge a one point and will spoil past events if you have not played them. I've been seeing multiple posts about people wanting to start Cold Steel without playing anything before. The absolute best way to experience the story is from the original Japanese release date. If you don't follow that then play at your own risk. This is all coming from someone that played all 4 Cold Steel games before everything else. I did fix it due to replaying them after I got through Azure but I will never have the experience to witness the entire story in order on my first go.
