The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III

Turn-based JRPG continuing Rean Schwarzer's story, now working as a military instructor with a new class of students. You'll alternate between teaching duties and field missions, reuniting with characters from earlier arcs while the plot digs into Rean's backstory and the fallout from previous conflicts. Combat uses a tactical grid system where positioning and turn order matter—chain attacks with students, manage craft abilities, and deploy mechs called Divine Knights in specific story battles. Expect lengthy dialogue scenes, relationship-building with your roster, and a narrative that assumes you've played the prior two Cold Steel games. If you want standalone entry points, this isn't it.
