Better than FC, but also the same game
If you didn't play the first game, this game will make no sense, it is about the most direct sequel I've ever played. The plot picks up about 6 hours after the first game ended, so if you haven't finished the first game....well, you've been warned. Took me 92 hours to finish, completing every quest I could find and exploring pretty thoroughly. If you played the first one, you know exactly what you are getting here. Tons of "flavor", unique dialogue from virtually NPC (though most of it is filler and not necessary to move the plot along), interesting (if sometimes slow) tactical combat. You will be revisiting the same locations, seeing the same people, fighting some of the same monsters. If you loved the first game, this one will scratch the itch....if you were lukewarm on the first one, know that this one is more of the same. The first game is basically an extended introduction to the plot, this game is where the story really comes to fruition. It's very clear that the two games were originally meant to be one massive game, but it would have come in at 150 hours or more and even I am put off by that kind of commitment. I personally enjoyed the story to this game much more than the first, as the stakes are much larger and it really does feel like an epic story of good vs. evil. The combat is exactly the same as the first, the only difference being the introduction of "chain" attacks, which I might have used 10 times total in the entire game. So again, if you liked the first game's combat, you will enjoy this one. I definitely thought this game was tougher than the first one, there are a couple fights (especially towards the end) that are very challenging, you will need to maximise your team's skills in order to succeed. The final boss is also much more fulfilling and difficult than the first game, in my estimation. It's not a flawless game, the plot is a little cliched in spots, and your mileage with the character tropes may vary. Also the soundtrack is literally the exact same for 85% of the game, so don't expect anything new there. But all in all, if you enjoyed the first Trails in the Sky and really want to see what happens after that ridiculous cliffhanger the first game ends on, you should probably pick this up and see what happens. 4 stars for being fun, but minus 1 for reusing a ton of assets and not exactly expanding on the concepts of the first game.
