Osborne is one of the most imposing and threatening villains I've seen in a game. He's set up flawlessly in 3rd and Azure, and I was beyond hyped to have him as a main villain.
Unfortunately, I don't think they nailed the landing, especially in CS4, but still.
I've played a lot of RPGs in my day, and Rean really stands out among protagonists. He's a full and satisfying character with tons of great moments with the other cast members.
The harem stuff gets old, but I appreciate a main character who adds this much to the cast and story.
I was charmed by Jusis very early in CS1, and he was undoubtedly one of my favorites by the end. I find his struggles to be very genuine, and he's got a great dynamic with Rufus.
I find that he's a bit too Millium-centric in CS3 and 4, but I still love this guy.
Mueller is that perfect mix of pragmatic hard-ass, loyal friend, and seasoned fighter. His dynamic with Olivier is done extremely well in each game, and I absolutely love seeing them interact.
His appearance is a bit plain honestly, but he's still one of my favorites.
On to a much different character, Juna! Juna is a lot of fun. It's great to have a Crossbell rep in CS3/4, and I appreciate that she loves the SSS as much as I do hahah
I find that her arc isn't as satisfying as some of the other New Class VII people, but I like her a lot.
Weissman is Trails's best executed villain. The breathtaking twist from FC is a flawless introduction in my eyes, and he keeps it up in SC. He's irredeemable scum, driven mad by obsession. I love it.
His death via Kevin's Salt Pale is one of the best moments in Trails history.
Cassius Bright. The man himself. You hear stories about him throughout the games, and he lives up to all of them. Truly a legend of our time, and it's so so awesome. I love how he's had a hand in essentially all major Trails events. I dream of being as cool as Cassius some day.
Another peak Trails villain right here. Loewe is somehow sympathetic, threatening, and badass all at the same time. I feel like his role is a biiit weird in FC, but he totally makes up for it in SC. I love his interactions with Josh, but also Agate! Plus he's great with Renne.
Renne is undoubtedly a highlight of the Liberl arc. Tons of intrigue with her in SC, plus she makes a big impact on 3rd as well. After her door, all I wanted was to see her happy with Estelle 🥺
Her role in Zero is awesome, and it was tons of fun to see her happy in CS as well.
I always knew Enforcer #1 was going to be awesome, and boy was i right. McBurn's got a badass title and fantastic design. He's great in every CS game he's in; a constant threat. Definitely a highlight of the cast of villains!
But seriously, what kind of name is "McBurn"???
