If you have the option to play the previous cold steel games or even the Sky games, by all means do so. They're good games by themselves. I will say there are returning characters from all the Trails games so if you haven't played those games chances are you won't care about these characters or their stories.
It's both a good and a bad starting point because it's one of the best games in the series, but it's also NOT because of how much you're spoiling yourself from previous games if you plan to play them later on.
That being said, I recommend this game because it's a really good JRPG
You can start with Cold Steel 3, but please consider playing the other games before starting Cold Steel 4. Seeing the returning characters for the first time in 3D is something special. You'll be missing out a lot.
