Playing Trails of Cold Steel 4 before the first game is like picking up The Return of the King before The Fellowship of the Ring. The problem with starting your Trails journey at the fourth entry is that all four games link up to supply an overarching story.
An alligator won't manifest from your television and snap your hand off, though that would admittedly be kind of cool. It's a free world, so nothing is obviously stopping you from downloading Trails of Cold Steel 4 onto your PlayStation.
