Which did you prefer? Trails of Cold Steel I or II?

Hum both have flaws in some aspects
CS1 - a cast that is too big to make everyone interesting, sadly deep characters and their interactions was the strong point in Sky and Crossbell. Like every first game in a trails saga, very slow story and mainly low stakes events through the game.
CS2 - Someone in the OT once said that the war of the game it's like it's for kids. Because we don't ever see a town being destroyed, people having to flee, almost every NPC is very calm for a freaking civil war, no deaths of important NPCs, no blood, out "third faction" centrism that it's a lie, enemies letting us go and never seriously trying to take our lives... Plus this game is clearly padded a loooot.
If you asked me just after CS2 had been released I would said the sequel is better, but after replaying CS1 and seeing things that were implied or teased that are happening in CS3 elevates the game.
In the end I think CS1 is a game that is aging better with the sequels and the story advancing and CS2 is the opposite.

Is CS1 still worth playing if you know there is a
I don't know what it is, but seems like a big spoiler knowing that happens at the end
betrayal at the end/twist.
I liked 2 a lot but 1 is better, 2 feels too much like filler episodes of an anime. 1 just hit constant great moments for me.
3 is better than both of them in many ways. Great series though.

Yes, because it sets up a lot of storylines and has a lot of worldbuilding. Also like with a lot of media its the journey not the destination.
