The fact that it keeps bothering me that no one really explained the meaning behind that dream. It seems likely, as I said in my previous run, that this is the curse trying to mess with their brains. Like the little girl in Crossbell who takes care of Coppe, who forgot the SSS, they are supposed to forget their Hero as well. But never actually confirmed or denied my theory. It is just something were they never ever give you an explanation for. Annoying, I tell you.

The Main Campus colors certainly also complement Altina, making it very likely that the Hair-Color really is the deciding factor here. Not sure if noticing that is worth replaying CS4 tho ^^’

That is what Cedric always wanted, right? Being part of Class7. It would have been interesting to see how this would have gone. Tho I certanly would have added Shirley to the mix at some point, if not for shipping reasons, than at least to see how the Sanguin Oger would do in a normal day to day school-life-scenario ^^’ I mean, she must have at least something along the lines like that now that she temporarily joined the main Campus to babysit Cedric, but we never see any of it, nor do we ever hear her saying anything about it. Truly a missed opportunity. But I guess the chance to think about how thing would have gone if this + Shirley would have been the new class 7 at some point is worth replaying this game somewhat. “What if” - situations are always nice to think of, after all.

There is a bit of a plothole in the end of CS3. Millium pushed Altina away, when she tried to protect Rean. The sister actually had a small conversation for a moment shortly before Millium sacrificed herself, but next we saw Altina she was unconscious in Musses Arms. No idea when and how she lost consciousness, because she didn’t react to either Millium dying nor Rean losing his sanity. There is a possibility that she only temporally gained consciousness when Cedric tried to kill her, as her bodies survival-instincts started to kick in, but that she was to weak to stay conscious long enough and upon seeing Millium get hit by the Dragon, it might have been too much for her and she collapsed, just like Alfin did when she found Eugent shot on the ground. But once again, we never get to see if that is what actually happens. Sometimes I wonder if they just put her back into being out cold so suddenly to make sure we get her reaction to what happened in CS4, just in case we weren’t in enough pain from being constantly reminded of Oliverts death or missing Rean XD Tho once again, not sure if you can put that into any category regarding replaying or not replaying the game.

I gett that they needed to explain the small time skip and why non of class7 did anything in that time, but I think it highly unlikely to be in a relatively healthy state after two weeks of not eating or drinking anything. Then again, we can always use magic as an explanation and an excuse, which sadly is not the best way to deal with things. People hate the “a wizard did it” excuse for a reason.

Look at this and the state of mourning that the rest of original class 7 is in right now and then dare to tell me later that Juna was not just an insensitive, arrogant brat when she was reprimanding them for actually feeling sad and lost.

I know I alkways say that, but I have to say it again, original class 7 had so muche more going on for them at that point then new class7 had, making it even worse how Juna treated them without any regards towards their feelings and circumstances. Alisa here did not just lose a friend, and liked acquaintances, the person she loves is in the hands of the enemy in goddess knows what state. To blame for this is partially her very own father. The fact that this awful war that was the reason for all this is going to happen so quickly is because of her families companies (especially her mothers) cooperation. And to top that off, her sister-figure and close friend has betrayed her and run back to the enemy, the same enemies that was also partly responsible for their losses and the cause for the upcoming war. Not to mention los of people she cares about are currently missing. Imagine the weight on her shoulders, the pressure in her conscience and the pain in her heart. And the rest of original class 7 is in similar positions. Take Jusis for example. He also lost the person he loved the most and partly responsible for this and all the other bad things that happened and are still currently happening is his very own brother. Gaius as a Grahlsritter failed at his mission and with that endangered his homeland as this place is right between Erebonia and Calvard and will probably will get trampled over in the war. Machias and Elliot both have their fathers in their positions that weights on their shoulders and I could go on and on and on with that list. Aside from temporarily losing Rean and Altina losing Millium, what exactly is it that new class 7 has to endure at this point? The thing with Musse and Ash is a bit concerning for sure, but over all, they seem as carefree and exited as they always ware, like they don’t have a care in the world for everything that was going on. And then they dare to be so darn disrespectful to old class 7 and no one is even telling them how awful they were. That really is one of the biggest reasons to sometimes hate this game and not want to replay it.

And that darn bitch even thinks she has the right to be completely pissed off. That Osborne is Reans father, was his secret to tell and he obviously didn’t wanted people to know, so no one had the right to say anything, aside from Rean himself, who, once again, would have said something if he wanted to. Yes, it can be frustrating that Rean keeps stuff like that to himself instead of relying more on the people he can trust BUT how is that original class sevens fault? How does that spoiled little Crossbell-brat have any right to gather a mourning class 7 and spit at them like this?

And here we go, starting this absolutely bullshit mindset. Throughout the whole of Cold Steel 4, the game keeps pushing New Class 7 on you, forcing you to accept their absolutely stupid explanations for it and all that while nothing of this was making any sense. Rean, without any doubt, has a special connection to his first very own class 7 that he leads as a teacher, not as a unwilling leader. But those damned brats (Altina aside) know the man for half a year have no idea of even half the things that he has been through and most of the time, they were more a burden then a help to him and yet they DARE to not just believe but actually say out loud that they do understand Rean better then his friends and former Classmates that he knows for almost 3 years at this point and has gone through hell and back with them twice... trice, actually.

Right. Because original Class 7 absolutely has no idea that after everything that happened, after everything he has been through, after what he has done at the Grahl, Rean would be suffering. I mean, how should they even just have the slightest idea of what he is feeling after knowing him and the things he has been through for 3 fucking years? Seriously, saying that original class 7 doesn’t understand that Rean is suffering is absolutely stupid. Aside from Rean himself (and possibly his family) no one knows the amount of Reans suffering better then original class 7. And its only Junas pure arrogance that allows her to speak like that who love Rean more then anyone else.

That is literally the only thing this arrogant little bitchy brad is right about. BUT I am pretty sure that is something class 7 was already well aware of, but the game makes it look like Juna is the only one that understood it. If anything she MIGHT have had the strength of mind (because mind you, she lost almost nothing in this mess) to find it in herself to actually move, instead of being in a stupor of pain and grieving and hopelessness. BUT that is a point the others would have reached too, after getting some time to mourn, which is their right that just got trampled on by Juna.

I can not tell you how angry I am at this game whenever I reach this scene. I want to turn the game off and never touch it again because I can take that arrogance and how they treat it like Juna and her pals are all oh-so-great and care oh-so-much-more about Rean. This scene is the absolute worst part of the game. The reason I hate to replay it. And the worst part of it is, that they keep going on like this. Like only new class 7 can actually help Rean and the other are just there for... well... certainly not to help Rean because apparently they aren’t capable of that... or at least that is what the game wants you to think. Which is utter bullshit and Hajimari/Riveri proves just as much.

Look, I know what this scene was for but the way they executed it was awful. It puts Juna in a really bad light and despite the fact that the game wants to push her as new class sevens leader so badly, they already didn’t do her character very good in CS3 either. Instead of acting like class 7 is oh so awful and incapable of seeing Reans suffering, what would have been necessary, was a gentle reminder that yes, we understand that you guys are in pain, you’ve been through hell and lost a lot and still have a heavy burden on your shoulders, but please, let us pull ourselves together so we can save instructor Rean that WE ALL know and care about and want back at our side. Let us be strong for him. Together. THAT is what would have been the right way to get original class 7 out of their stupor and back into gear. Instead, all we had was Juna being arrogant, tactless and mean. Which did not do anyone any good.

And here we have another example for new class sevens arrogance and how their supporters actually fuel that arrogance. Musse thought she knew everything and she was always a step ahead of everyone. But think about it! If she did, how did things end up like this? She could not stop Ash from shooting the Emperor, she could not stop the Courageous from getting blown up, she was useless when Rean was almost eaten by a diving Dragon, she could not prevent Milliums death, nor did she manage to avoid the war. She also did not see the fact coming that Olivert was not just alive, he also already had a new and better ship prepared. She certainly didn’t foresee the Chancellors true reasons and intentions for doing what he was doing. So if she truly would have been so good that she could teach the Chancellor a thing or two, how did she not end up stopping his plans BEFORE the great Twilight started? She has nothing more then a big mouth and her powers or good for nothing but strategizing and even then her strategies only work out IF she is right, which, as we will see in CS4 eventually she not always is.

Everyone keeps saying new class 7 easily became better and stronger as their predecessors in the span of only 6 months, BUT not just is that Reans doing and so he deserves all the credit for it, not them but it is also only halfway the truth. Those kids are arrogant and spoiled and think themselves almighty because Rean that damn fool never stopped them when they were getting ahead of themselves and even encouraged them to believe that they are all so strong and mighty. And now instead of strong fighters, like the original class 7, what we have on our hands is a bunch of arroganz brats that in truth, can’t do shit without the help of other, much more powerful and intelligent people. Musse here for example would be nowhere, without Aurelia, Wallace and Vita and her plan would go down the drain without the support of Cassius and the other Nations. Her keen foresight might be the cause of those people supporting her, but she still would be nothing without them.
