The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero

Trails from zero имеет вайбики первого trails in the sky, когда вся игра это один большой пролог к ещё более глобальной истории в сиквеле. Новые персонажи довольно харизматичные, мне все они понравились, и что удивительно нет чувства повторения с трейлсом при учёте всего многообразия персонажей. Ну и про старых не забыли, закрыли арку Эстель, Джошуа и Ренны из третьего трейлс, и даже развили сюжетку Антона (который вообще сайд перс, про которого кроме меня вообще никто не вспомнил бы) Музыка как и всегда ахуй, уже лежит в спотифае, а вот к дизайну есть вопросоки, особенно к артам персонажей. Если бы я не знал, что игре 16 лет, я бы подумал что это нейронка из-за их какой-то всратости, хз. В скае арты поприятнее были 8/10, большие надежды на Азуру

2010年零轨刚出的时候我还是个小学生，每天上学能拿到1块钱去门口小卖部买包辣条都能乐得直冒泡，买正版是不可能了，那会好像也没有破解版，所以虽然玩了3rd之后很想很想知道后续，但也只能靠看游民星空的专区里的立绘解馋，后来也就逐渐淡忘了轨迹系列。直到去年玩了空轨1st，尘封近20年的记忆被唤醒，再也无法克制住对后续剧情的好奇（也不用克制了，毕竟已经是社畜了，呵呵），买了零轨和碧轨。今晚通关了零轨，我很开心，零轨讲了一个好故事，我20年的等待没有白费，谢谢你法老控

Such a great game, Trails as a franchise is a gem, I said the same for Trails in the Sky the 3rd, but from Zero is a masterpice, and I just love how it incorporates all the elements that we were already familiar with and makes it better. I love that early 2010's vibes from the drawings, really picturing the upgrading, the UI is so much better as well, and the music always works of art, can't except less from these genius from Falcom! Not to spoil, but I also love that very Dark occultists, esoteric vibes from the ennemies, that we already had in the 3rd. Also I really appreciate the hardwork put on the worldbuilding, it was already the case in the last opus, but in From Zero we see how complex, well-documented and explained the politic, economic and the justice system works in Crossbell, the formalities etc are very well done, which improves the immersion. I give it a 10/10!!!

It's a lovely game. (This review is dedicated to my friend Blank Page. Steam reviews is serious business. Take them seriously!)

Trails from Zero is one of my favorite games of all time, and I do strongly recommend it. I'm giving a negative review for THIS release based on principle - nearly every visual in the game has unnecessary and sloppy AI upscaling. It would be acceptable AI was just used here and there to touch up a few textures, but from what I could tell, everything except character sprites has been affected. Textures with small details are completely botched, and larger textures have all details smoothed over. This has resulted in a botched version of Crossbell that looks nothing like the original. All baked-in text in the menus are upscaled for some god forsaken reason instead of just having new high resolution text. Everything is readable, but looks extremely sloppy and off-putting. Images in newspapers are also completely Indiscernible and are just objectively worse in every way, even if you think the other textures are acceptable. I hate that this is the most feature complete version of the game, making it hard to genuinely recommend any other version instead. The best version is probably the old PC Geofront patch, but that's such a pain to set up that you're probably better off getting this version and modding in Vita textures manually. I ended up modding in the old textures myself, which did fix most of these issues, but having to do that at all is an issue. We should've had the option to choose "Classic" or "Upscaled" textures. Taking all of that aside, the game itself is amazing, and I'd give it a 10/10. Great characters, satisfying combat (if a bit too easy), engaging narritive, and deep worldbuilding. To me at least, this game and its sequel are the pinnacle of the JRPG genre. Such a shame that this port was ruined by such lazy, unnecessary "work" with the garbage AI upscaling.

Jogão, mais um acerto da franquia.

textures + text are ai scaled which looks out of place. id recommend playing the geofront version of this that doesnt have that. same problem with the other crossbell game
