    Fun JRPG, A franchise that deserves recognition

    Plays smooth, good battle system as well as a reason to keep playing with how the game rewards your progress. Good options for difficulty, either which changing difficulty or tweaking it slightly for a tough encounter.

    Trails in the Sky proves the series roots

    One of the best RPGs to come out this year and tasteful remake of the original. Graphics are beautiful and the modernization of the combat system implementing additions from the newer games helps bring this game to a new level. The characters and writing help to make this an enjoyable experience that will start your journey for a narrative spanning multiple games and stories. If you are looking to get into a long-running series or just an RPG to satisfy your needs, this is where you should begin.

    Need Trails 2nd Chapter ASAP

    Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on Nintendo Switch is an easy 5-star experience for fans, offering a rich story, lovable characters, and deep world-building that still holds up today. Compared to the original release, this version feels more convenient thanks to the Switch’s portability, making long story sessions much easier to enjoy. It also feels smoother and more comfortable to play overall, which helps modernize a classic without changing what made it special. The slow-burn narrative is rewarding, and the dialogue and character development are far deeper than most RPGs. Combat is strategic but approachable, making it great for both newcomers and longtime fans of the series. If you enjoy story-driven RPGs, this is absolutely worth buying and a fantastic way to experience the beginning of the Trails saga.

    One of the greatest JRPG franchises ever made

    First game in the very long trails series which will officially wrapping up in 2031. Absolutely one of the greatest remakes/JRPGs I’ve ever played. The game looks fantastic, plays fantastic, the characters are fleshed out and their interactions are some of the best parts of the entire franchise. Not only that, most characters are recurring throughout the entire series (even if your main protagonists change the old ones pop in and out of the story assisting the new ones. Each game in the series can get you upwards of 80+ hours of content without even counting replayability and harder difficulties. If you like JRPGs the franchise should be considered a must buy and this is the best version of its humble beginnings.
