Humble beginnings.
Despite its positive qualities, it's difficult to recommend the first chapter of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky in the modern era. The combat and story are relatively simple and straightforward, with the script being written with a young adolescent audience in mind; meaning that the target demographic has either grown beyond this title or are young and observing newer products. Because this chapter has to serve as an introduction to the world, its characters, and its story, it must fall short of its potential. In order to preserve its secrets and revelations made in later instalments it must withhold information presently, meaning until the concluding portions much of the story must remain simple and often advances due to the chronic impetuousness of any and all characters, which grows wearisome pretty quickly. The characters being an expansion of one or two traits doesn't help matters. They simply cannot act any other way. For an apt portrayal, see Gene Wilder's Wonka as myself and Mike TeaVee as many characters, "don't, stop, come back." The combat system is also relatively simple, without too much hidden depth. For example, I liked the principle of having a battlefield, as opposed to a static menu of units, until I realised that it does little and you prepare and play as if it weren't even present. With this assessment in mind, the strongest point of Trails in the Sky is the depth of its world construction, that each NPC has a unique line of frequently changing dialogue that reflects the actions of the player and the story's progression, which drastically enhances the plot and gives the illusion that the world and story are more nuanced. Many similar titles fail in this capacity, and their worlds appear more hollow and shallow for it. There is also some tertiary enhancements; additional Japanese voice acting and portraits. Without the turbo combat button and not advancing the dialogue rapidly, it would have been tedious, so I don't recommend them.
