    From playing the PSP version to playing the PS5 version, the legends of heroes trails from the sky is so amazing. I think this is the best RPG of the year.

    A remake essentially on par with FF7 Remake, this remake of the first Trails game is just sublime. Art direction, game engine, voice acting, and hybrid real time/turn based combat from the Daybreak games are great, and what a lovely way to be introduced to some of the series' best characters in Estelle and Joshua Bright! I cannot recommend this enough, especially if you've been curious about ever diving into the Trails series. Super work, and excited that Sky 2nd Chapter has already been greenlit for release this fall.

    If you are a fan or new to the series, Trails in the Sky FC is really the best place to be! The pace, the adventure, the world building and the friends you make a long the way, all starts here! Remake brings this beloved story to modern consoles, modern graphics, challenging battles and a wonderful sense of nostalgia!

    This game is amazing! It's highly faithful to the original and keeps all of the charm while updating the graphics and gameplay for modern standards. Music and setting are magical and the story is as good as I remember. It's a bit slow in the beginning, but keep playing and you'll experience one of the best stories in video gaming history. This series has so many games in it that it's hard to recommend newcomers where to start. However, with this first game being remade, it's now the definite best place to start.

    Buy this game. Support this series. This is what a remake should be. QoL improvements, new story beats, visuals, music, its all here. This is slowly becoming my favorite series for so many reasons, but Trails 1st is among the top.

    I never played Trails games growing up but with this and the other remasters that have been coming out i have picked up most of the games now. This one is honestly one of the best games of 2025 imo.

    If you haven't played the original Trails in the Sky, I highly recommend it. The new remake is one of the best remakes I have seen for a game in a long time. It stays true to the original with updated game mechanics making this the best experience for playing Trails In the Sky 1st.

    I went into this game with impossible standards, it surpassed them. Amazing hybrid battle system, excellent story and pacing. So much fun. 11 out of 10. Basically perfect. Took me ~54 hours to complete the story.
