Pros & Considerations
Battles
Brave Orders let the party spend shared points on formation-wide tactical effects
Story
Cross-arc characters make Erebonia finally collide with Sky/Crossbell continuity
Systems
Break damage creates a second layer to boss control
Music
Strong field/battle themes support the larger imperial journey
◇Consider
Pacing: The school-field-study structure deliberately echoes Cold Steel I and can feel repetitive
Time commitment: Long — about 70 hours by the catalogue median
