This is the first thing I though about with this ending it reminds me to much off endgame especially true ending

Alisa: You can rest now...

Juna: Instructor Rean, we won.

How does the true ending remind you of Endgame? The Infinity Stones returned to their timelines in that film. Is it something to do with Franz and Rose activating the Sacrament Programs for their respective Sept-Terrions to create a miracle?

yeah, good thing we have another ending, it's not easy to recover when the characters you've played for years die like this, one is heartbroken enough, let alone three. I would be depressed for at least a year ngl.

@@nqh4393 Yep there is.

yeah rean pulling a final fantasy 7

I cried when elise falls

Noup this ending is canon but there is another ending that is even more canon so mc lives and his friends also lives

Noup Rem and Tita has the same va Rean and Subaru has the same vs lol

@@ArcadiaOnline2301 in CS2 altina seiyuu is Risa Taneda, but in CS 3-4 and hajimari same as rem ( Inori Minase )

Yes rean and crow with the last 2 remaining divine knights (pieces of the sept-terrion of steel) sacrifice themselves to get rid of the curse

Omg SAME, Towa and Elise's reactions broke me

Well, I mean, Ka-Fai seemed to think Rean was "a light that illuminates the darkness... however brief" xD Pretty foreboding, if you ask me...

This ending is not good for a certain reason which you guys will understand in Hajimari

@@adamhashiba6140 I curious what exactly do you mean by that

@@MentalOutlvl6 Spoiler.

because both games have been out in japan for a while now and this is the japanese version not the english version

And you search for tocs 4 that's your fault not uploader

Zero Wan It’s not his fault, it showed up in his recommendations and that shit was the thumbnail. It didn’t spoil me, but it was in my recommendations.

Yeah I have it as recommended vid too thats spoiler

not a spoiler if falcom themselves spoils you :D, when you open the character tab in cs4 you see olivier with the eye patch lol.

You knew what was coming don't play that shit

It's not the Canon one

@@buttertoast1146 Both Endings are canon actually.

@@crosselsmith776 having played hajimari you are correct.

Seriously, I’m playing CS4 right now and seeing that thumbnail is so damn annoying.

Unfortunately this is all but confirmed to be not canon

I disagree. Part of Rean's personal character arc was about him learning to stop with his self sacrificing bullshit, actually place some importance on his own life and find a way to live alongside the people he cares about without his survivors guilt weighing him down. Having his story end with a self sacrificing moment would go against that whole message the narrative had been building up since Cold Steel 1. A self sacrificing ending is appropriate for a main character who starts out as a more selfish individual, but it doesn't work for someone like Rean, who already has a self sacrificing nature that is treated within the narrative as a major character flaw that the main character must overcome by the journey's end.

@@DevilHunter1994 But did Rean ever really stop sacrificing himself? I feel like there was no actual development there, and the true ending feels more like there being excuses as to how Rean was able to survive instead of it being part of his character arc. Plus, it has more impact this way as well.

@@AnimeSimp234 He always took risks sure, but he did learn to rely on others more as the games went on and recognized how much he meant to other people. He would try to stay alive for their sake if nothing else. His speech in the final dungeon of Cold Steel 3 reflects this. There's also Osborne to consider as well. The guy sacrificed pretty much everything in order to give his son the opportunity to survive this ordeal and live his life. Having Rean die at the end anyway kinda makes it feel like Osborne's sacrifices were for nothing. Sure the curse was stopped, but the person Osborne wanted to save more than anyone else, his primary motivation for doing ALL of this, had to die anyway just to make it possible. Rean already paid his dues in the first three games. Continuing the "Rean exists to suffer" plotline right into the ending of the final game in the saga would feel incredibly mean spirited to me.

.... HAJIMARI NO KISEKI Rean from cold steel IV Normal Ending says "HI"

Notice how it says Normal ending?

@@stopbeingignorant It's a joke considering the name Sara gave the team of Crow, Millium, and Rean back in Cold Steel 1's chapter 5's Practical Exam (Team Whatever)

I think you're misinterpreting the meaning of normal. This, is the first ending you get no matter what you do in the game, hence normal. Afterwards, as long as you did the extra boss fight to unlock it, you will then get the TRUE ending which you unlock by getting this ending. No need to nitpick semantics because they used NORMAL/TRUE for the ending titles instead of BAD/GOOD.

This is the normal ending, and normal ending means you will get this one no matter what. There's no bad nor good ending in Sen 4. There's only Normal, and True Ending by continuing from Normal Ending

... according to HAJIMARI NO KISEKI, CSIV norm-end Rean wants to say HI.
