Siscon Sister of the Week

 

This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week is Elise Schwarzer from the hit game 'Legend of Hero's : Trails of Cold Steel', a game developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED Games, Marvelous USA Inc. The game has 4 titles in this particular series usually referred to simply as the 'Trails of Cold Steel Saga'. 

The game is a classic RPG style game with great graphics, very in depth storyline, and nice character interactions. You play as Rean Schwarzer the adopted son of an Erebonian noble Baron Tio Schwarzer. You decide to go to the prestigious Military Academy Thor's to get your last couple of years of education in an attempt to decide on what you wish to do in the future. It is here fate puts you as the fore fronted figurehead due to change not just the nation but the world itself. 

Elise Schwarzer is the blood born child of Baron Tio and as such technically she would be next in line to obtain the Baron title. Elize and Rean have been raised just as a real brother and sister and Rean tends to be a bit protective of her. Elise attends the all girl School Astria located in the capital city of the Erebonian Empire. As such she has become great friends with the daughter of the Emperor. 

Elise is timid by nature and very soft spoken. She can be a bit crass when it comes to Rean, and despite the fact that they have been raised as siblings she has a deep felt love and passion towards Rean that only he friend Princess Alfin knows about, though the other girls around Rean have picked up on it as well. Rean in his own right is clueless to the feelings of his female classmates and Elise as well.

Elise from time to time will relay on her older brother Rean to help her along, but other times she's the inspiration for Rean to push forward with his own life. Elise is also adapt with a sword and while not a main character in the party all the time she does join the party on occasion to provide some support. 

I highly recommend this game if you enjoy classic style RPG's with a bit modern graphics. I won't deny that at first I was a bit hesitant about getting it or the others...but I got hooked not long after starting it, and with over 200+ hours in the game now getting different endings and love interests in the first game and porting them to the second game...it is a full time job at this point and at least its one I can support.
