It was Dragon Slayer VI originally, a game that Falcom decided to create because they hadn't made a Dragon Quest-ish title yet, but wanted to show that they could do the Enix and Square thing, too.

Estelle Bright is out there bonking bandits with a stick and I'm bonking spreadsheets with deadlines until one of us breaks first (spoiler: it's me). Overall.. I do not have the time to…

unlabelledView post →There are many excellent JRPGs out there that leave you with a familiar, bittersweet feeling. By the time you're fully invested, the game comes to a close, and the journey is over. You're left to wonder, "Is there really nothing left?" or, "What about Rozarria? There's still so much to discover!" My first completed game in the Trails series was actually a more recent entry (the FC remake), and I loved it so much that it didn't feel right to progress further without experiencing the source. So,…

I'm sure that any guy would agree -- after all, who doesn't love coming home after a long day of work, and destressing with a relaxing night of TITS? If you're looking for a nice, juicy, fun, and…

Loved it start to finish. If you wanna dip your toes in Trails, FC and SC remake are a great starting and end point. 🙂↔️💕
unlabelledView post →It's not a big epic adventure where you save the world from an evil sorcerer and kill the god of death, or travel back in time to stop a mad king from destroying the world. It's two kids travelling around, seeing the world, making friends, helping people, and learning how to live up to their own expectations. It's peak.

What I mean by this is that through every pore and interraction with this game, there is a played straight sense of good will and faith, even with villainous characters and your typical baddies. Wheres many other games may seek to twist the intentions and direction of the story, almost every single time this game will instead choose to proceed in a manner that instead gives the player a more hopeful and good faith…

unlabelledView post →What a well-crafted game. I can really feel the thought put into the story. People may call it slow but they're just dopamine addicted monkeys that don't know what delayed gratification even if it hit them in the face.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very basic JRPG that was the starting point for a sprawling story that meshes anime, history, religion, and political intrigue that's been going on for over two decades. Other than it's paint-by-numbers gameplay, this game is only held back by being the first entry and a slow pastoral setting that's all setup for the games that come later. That said I should note the save file does transfer to the next two games with bonus content and variations on future dialogue. The story is about two…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Today is the 15th anniversary of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky's North American debut on PSP.

unlabelledView post →Took me 12 years of real time from the date of purchase and first playing, and then about 30 or so hours of actual play on one save over the course of one week, to beat this game. A rock-solid game that, if you finish, will bait you unbelievably hard into getting the remaining two chapters. Buyer beware.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pretty good game. Fairly long but not too grindy RPG with tactical combat. Very story focused and feels like a visual novel in places, especially in the final chapter. Straightforward game so you won't get lost or confused during the story, just have to follow it. Not much exploration because of this but there are plenty of side missions you can do for money and rewards. Side characters don't overstay their welcome and change each chapter, and they have their different play styles worth…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: The First Chapter is a story-focused, turn-based party RPG. It’s as dense as its name suggests, and that density is exactly why I liked it. There’s a remake, though I’m not sure it was necessary. I played the original for the first time recently and, aside from some UI issues (not because the game is old, but because it ignores interface conventions established as early as the PSX era) it has aged well. It contains an enormous amount of dialogue, and I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Same as Valkyria Chronicles for me — too “anime,” too slow to start, and not the kind of pacing or tone I enjoy. I can see why fans love it, but it just didn’t hold my interest. I quit after about fifteen minutes. Not a bad game at all — just not for me.
