The legend of heroes trails of cold steel 4

Rufus backstabbing Arianhrod when Class VII was convincing her to live to fix the mess at the end of the Third Rivalry.

Did Valimar really forget a lot of things while he was sleeping after Dreichels used him for a long time or did George tamper with its memories when the latter hooked Valimar up to his computer? And if so, what's the reason for it? The latter highly unlikely as the Georg persona didn't surface until Crow's death between the events of II and III, as it is revealed in IV. And the discovery of his tricks was what lead Chairman Irina to the personality change from a caring mom to a cold, calculating, and manipulative big cheese. Was she aware of his true intentions or was she fooled by him like everyone else? Some fans suspects both - she really thought he was dead until the truth somehow reached her. Her mother already knew that Alisa's father, Alberich, was still alive.

Cold Steel IV reveals that he's just that dense to Elise's feelings towards him as he only saw her as a little sister until she started confessing her feelings towards him.

Rean's relationship with Elise: Does he really not see that Elise has a massive crush on him or is he just being selectively oblivious about it and knows that his sister would be better off marrying a noble who would take care of her? He even shows some approval points for Patrick in Cold Steel III and even lets him have a dance with her.

Additionally, if he non-lethally wins, Ishmelga would attempt to possess him instead of Rean, but Osborne could likely hold him off longer, meaning there would be less risk to Rean's life in that outcome. If Osborne's opponent has no intention of destroying Ishmelga, he would need to win and have his own plan for destroying Ishmelga. The Black Records only predicted Arianrhod's loss, but all other Awakeners could make it to the final round. On the other hand, it's implied Osborne would have sacrificed himself if he came out on top, since he tells Rean that they both have a habit of self-sacrifice. He's okay with Rean winning because he knows that the latter will either sacrifice himself to destroy Ishmelga or use the Earthen Prison to expel Ishmelga.

Whether or not Osborne threw the final Rivalry is ambiguous, since both outcomes could work in his favor.

Osborne in Cold Steel I and II era: when he says 'Well played, Armbrust,' is he congratulating Crow for assassinating him and actually besting him or is it congratulating Crow for being a part of his plans to start off the Civil War and Crow was just his Unwitting Pawn?.

Cold Steel IV answers that question with him really being Good All Along and that he legitimately wanted to get rid of the curse for good.

Is he a Benevolent Boss who ultimately has to make the most difficult decisions or an uncaring bastard who will use his subordinates to further his goals? The fact that in the first two games he helps Erebonia with most of its problems but gives people from other countries and cities hell doesn't help.

Alternative Character Interpretation: Thanks to Cold Steel III, many do question a few characters especially from previous arcs:.

If Fie is chosen as Rean's Love Interest, she gets one when Rean asks her if she was going to water the flowers and she responds that he 'needs more watering now.'.

It should be noted that the innuendos, unintentional or otherwise, are localization exclusive and the characters have perfectly normal voice lines in the original voiceover.

Oh, and in the original Cold Steel, the Trophy/achievement for opening all chests in single playthrough is 'Chest Grabber.' And then there's Angie's in Cold Steel II: 'Always happy to lay my hands on another chest.' Given Angelica's usual behavior, this is also probably intentional. Except for Crow's, which given his character is probably intentional. kind of badly ('What an amazing chest!' and so on).

A lot of characters' Active Voice lines when finding treasure chests are worded.
