TSA writes: “There is no mercy to be found for newcomers to the story of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV. I warned with Trails of Cold Steel III that the story was expanding beyond the events of this sub-series, as characters and lore from other Trails games, many of which aren’t available outside of Japan, were working their way in. It’s now gone so far that Trails of Cold Steel IV shouldn’t be considered the fourth game in the Cold Steel series, but the ninth game in the Trails series.”
