Beret girl confirmed to be Altina then
and like I thought, the new characters all appear to be Thors students.(Emblem on shoulders) I'm guessing from the new color uniform this is another "experiment" group like Class 7 that Rean is the instructor of.

25% of copies of Tales of Berseria were sold on PS3, and 20% of copies of Persona 5, so there's still a business case with the popular games which were originally targeting the PS3 as a lead format. It's like the case for creating an Xbox One version for the west - won't be the majority of sales but sales will justify the cost.

So basically:
CSI. A new (erebonian) hope
CSII Empire strikes back (Rean, I'm your father)
CSIII Return of the headpatter
It all makes sense now.

Oh god, we're back at school. Nooooooooooooooooo.
Just because Falcom is insane doesn't mean that Namco Bandai has to be.

Perhaps a new experiment group. or
it's possible the social class separation was abolished following the end of the civil war. All Thors students may wear Blue at this point.
Ever heard of emulators?
Besides.... It's been done before. Valkyria Chronicles 2 was on PSP but it was able to use the PS3 save from VC1 and give you bonus stuff. As long as the save is available, falcom can create a program than can read it no matter the architecture it runs on. It's simple programming especially it's their game anyway that they made themselves so they know how to handle it. Transferring save is simple as adding cloud-save to CS2 via update or USB transfer.
It's not that hard and far from impossible. The only question is if they intend to do it, which I hope they do since I want ReanXFie to be on Sen3 lol

New Milliam (Miriam?) seems to be wearing clothes. This is a good sign.

Both of these actions happened in Q2 and Q3 in 2016. Now, wait a year, what do you think those percentages are going to be. Plus if you look at it Falcom is pushing graphics forward a bit (for Falcom).
Separately, I support Duckroll's motion to kill off Rean, he is pretty terribad as a character.
Edit: I do wonder if Falcom will start picking up Switch development if Nintendo's sales are good (good enough) though.

I'm so glad I bought a PS4, even though it's can't of disappointing the lack of Vita support.
Nice to see that Letcher(?) and Altina are back too, can't wait to see the new Laura and Fie designs. Also, that new Sara hairstyle... prefer the one from previous games though.
Are the new guys

Are the new guys
from the Calvard Republic? Or maybe the new Crossbell police?

Crow , right ?
So they really dropped Vita huh? I wonder how it'll do on PS4.
Chances are Falcom will never touch a Switch devkit. Their business model for platforms they aren't focused on entirely is to license if there's an interested party (like Gurumin 3D and Tokyo Xanadu for PC).

Lol at the Rean hate the past few pages. I get that he's not the best protagonist around, but I feel like he's going to be a much better character in Cold Steel III. I'm also interested about how he'll develop and mature going forward.
I think his character development will be like Joshua in a sense. Since CSI and CSII are basically one game split into two, then I feel like it will be the same as Joshua going from FC (CSI and CSII) to SC (CSIII).

They're Thors Students

Altina knows how deviant Rean can be so she obviously has to dress more professionally to not stir his demonic head pat hands.
Hmm. That could be it.
I feel like Osborne wouldn't go so far as to totally dissolve social classes at the end of the civil war just to placate the more stubborn and powerful families, but I could see him enforcing class equality at Thors and citing the success of Class VII as a model.
I'm gonna make an extremely wild guess and say the boy and the girl are both natively from Crossbell, and they're transferred in as part of a 'anyone from anywhere in the Erebonian Empire can participate in any Erebonian institute' and (clearly) involve them in occupation force stuff.

Still gotta finish CS2. I think I'm about halfway through (or maybe even two-thirds) but I kinda got to admit that it's the first game in the series that bores me.
Well. CS3 then. Going PS4 exclusive certainly is a weird choice and I can't really imagine this working out for them, but well, at least it looks nice.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I like the way that Falcom is treating Rean. He's just a punching bag for the other characters. Maybe with the new duo you get to woop his ass again.

Is that for sure? I'm cool with it either way.
Crow , right ?
Who knows...
CSII Spoilers
He is dead so I guess that's just Falcom trying to tell you how much he influenced Rean, in fact, Rean's new design resembles Crow's from CSII quite a lot.

He posted the images next to each other for comparison. The outfit has a different design from Rean's in the back. So it's weird to think it changes form for his Ogre ability lol.
My theory is that he's taken on an Instructor or Mentor role with these students, which I think would be a fantastic direction to take the character.
I'm like 99% sure. That's the Thors logo on their shoulders. Same Class 7's uniforms.

Would an Instructor Rean know that it is inappropriate to headpat his students?

You see his face?
That's the look of a man who headpats who he wants. Laws be damned.
Haha, point taken. But still, that guy with two swords. That's just a generic NPC levels of design.

Didn't see the horned-lion, makes sense then. But why the change in color? Maybe a Class VIII of shorts instructed by Rean?

Didn't think the PS3 games felt dated or anything but can understand why they'd want to switch to PS4 moving forward. Really enjoyed the first cold steel and will play the 2nd one soon, highly recommended to anyone looking to dip in.

While I am certainly sadden that yet again another Kiseki is unable to finish out on the Vita I fully understand why it is happening and I'm ok with that. That said they better take advantage of the huge power boost they are getting now.
Screens look amazing.

Regarding the comparison (and with some nominal end of CS1/general CS2 spoilers):
it does look to me like Crow. You can make out the headband and the way the hair is 'tossed'. And I'm pretty sure it looks like his CS2 jacket, but I can't be bothered to turn on my Vita and check myself if the belts and such line up. And I doubt that Rean's jacket inexplicably transforms when he does, anyways.
I also doubt it means anything regarding Crow personally. It could literally be him, but more likely it's just a symbolic thing to indicate the impact Crow's had on him.

Regarding save transfer... don't the PS3 and Vita versions of the first two games have cross-save? The third game could just download it from the cloud, right? No need to patch the old games.

[Cold Steel II spoiler]
I've checked and it's totally not Crow's jacket. So the question becomes why would Crow changes clothes if he's gone...
Nightengale

What if Rean's jacket has a feature where it transforms to a different colour and styling once he goes Ogre?
😛😅
😛😅
Theories and more CSII stuff:
He would need to change clothes if the same method that allowed Osborne to 'revive' or live through fatal damage is used on him and he gets a new outfit. I mean, if Osborne did in fact rely on some sort of contingency that involved a ritual or something.O Who knows, this shit might even involve the vampires thanks to the foreshadowing.

Why can't developer favorite Alicia just go and stay go? Stop pushing her and her tsundere ways on us.
Every moment they spend on her is a moment less they spend on Towa, Towa's hat and Millium and that is just unacceptable.

Hopefully Towa is actually available to be used earlier in this game as well rather than on the last level.
Actually, Towa is Falcom's Lightning. She even appeared in Tokyo Xanadu.
She's great. She also has one of the best dub voice acting bits I've heard for a kuudere. Really brought her to life without changing the character herself instead of generic boring Rei-clone style JP voice acting.

Too brocon for me. She can go in the trash with Suguha from SAO and Kirino from Oreimo.
