There's a cutscene updating us on the situation in Erebonia (from the citizen's perspective), and then another doing the same in Crossbell. Schera is keeping an eye on things and reporting back to Jona (the computer geek in Crossbell) who in turn updates our heroes: Joshua, Estelle, Renne, Lloyd, Elie and KeA.
It was pretty obvious from all the pre-release marketing that these guys were coming back and it is obvious why. They're going to sort out all the Erebonia shit. Makes sense for Joshua, Estelle and Lloyd to be running the resistance as their power level far exceeds anyone in Class VII, but I expect Class VII will be joining up with them at some point too.
I played past the first fight before I had to get back to work (the intro cutscenes were so long), but it's obvious that TOCS IV is very much a sequel to Trails to Azure as well as TOCS III and my Azure playthrough is only about 50% of the way through. I think I should finish Azure first before jumping into this game.
