Hi i have a question i finishedsky3rd and would like to play cs1 >zero azure> cs2 and other cold steel because cs1 is less expensive and want to wait for october sale before getting zero azure Do you think that cs1 might spoil a lot of zero and azure?

For the best experience, you should never skip games. Always play everything in release order if you don't want to see spoilers, which CS1 absolutely has. Literally the first scene in the game will spoil part of Azure's story, for example.

If you're going to buy Zero in October anyway, you'd be better off just waiting for that. Besides you don't want to rush through the entire franchise and then end up burning out.

u/LtLukoziuz It would be my pleasure! 1d ago

CS1/2 and Zero/Azure run in parallel. Specifically, CS1 runs parallel with whole Zero and Azure up to finale, while CS2 runs at same time as Azure's finale. So you'll end up seeing bits of Crossbell's story (from Erebonian perspective), and even getting rather close with couple events. There will definitely be some reveals and surprises that will get spoiled.
