Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

Great game, a fantastic remaster for a game that was already good

:D

Missed a recipe in Chapter 1, realized when I was almost done Chapter 2 and realized I would lose 20 hours of gameplay to go back and get it. No narrative reason why you cannot travel back to the previouis region. Missables like this are not fun, uninstalled.

Well at the final chapter now it's time to leave some thoughts. Having extensively played through just about every the legend of heroes game accept for day break 2 which im getting to soon and beyond the horizon i can confidently say that this remake nailed it. Having played the original game way back on the psp and having to wait 15 years for the sequel to come watching the series blossom from start to finish to what it is today has been a real treat. With the series winding down to an actual close with beyond the horizon it's a perfect time to re visit the origins of the series. ( though we still don't have the dragon slayer games or remakes of the psp games yet hopefully soon. ) Anyways enough of that this is the start of where the series really started to take shape and build a world full of charactes, lore, and some of the best world building you will ever come across not to mention some of the best pieces of music your ears will come across. Battles in this version of the game play out in both real time action and turn based battles. With monsters being visable on the field you can choose to engage with them or just run passed. Eleminating random encounters makes everything go by so much faster travel wise so it lets you focus on your goal more. Traveling the map is a breeze and this version contains a turbo mode which lets you sprint across the map like its nothing. Theres also fast travel that unlocks right away letting you quickly go back and fourth between areas when needed. However typically one you are done with one region theres no real reason to go back to it unless a side quest directs you to. This is a one and done type of system go to point a to point b follow the story markers and or go off the beaten path if you'd like finishing the optional objectives. ( displayed with a blue or gree exlimation point instead of a red one. ) Really excited to what falcom has in store for us once all the remakes are done and the series is done as a whole.

Its a good old school style type jrpg with a modern coat. It runs pretty good even on old hardware. It looks pretty good too. The character are memorable and have depth as well. Combat is alright even for somone who isnt too much in to turn based mechanics. Voice acting is alright too. well, half of the time. the other half there is none, which i personally find pretty irritating from a otherwise pretty good game. The game certainly deserves some more love. Maybe then the devs will have more money for full voice acting.

I absolutely loved this game, and I cant wait for the sequel!

J'ai pas les mots...
