A JRPG for JRPG fans.
The title sounds obvious but what I mean is that Trails of the Sky FC is a game that is *only* for a JRPG fan and nobody else. There's no hook, there's no intricate battle system, there isn't fancy graphics, and the soundtrack isn't amazing. You'll either like or dislike Trails specifically for what you're looking for. A well written, slow, good JRPG. If you want anything else, save your money. If you're not a JRPG fan, or you're looking to dabble, usually you want a hook of some sort to grab onto. That could be a great early story twist or a battle system. Even graphics in the case of FF7 but Trails has none of that. Eventually a compelling story will develop but by that point you'll have had to invest atleast two to three hours to get there. Trails is set up in a way that you're supposed to talk to NPC's to absorb the world, take a look around and not rush through...but that's also one of its major faults. NPC's go through their own storylines such as a rich merchant trying to make a business deal; every "blip" of the main story will advance that NPC's personal story and you'll be able to read if they succeed or fail or whatever happens to them. There's many such stories but they have absolutely no bearing on your character or the main plot. They are in effect meaningless to the overall game structure. But that's what Trails is going for, to show you that the world exists beyond your characters through these NPC's. You have to seek things out. It also means the game is very slow if you're going to do that. And it means a lot of reading. A lot. If you don't like reading a lot of dialogue this is not the game for you. And if you don't like backtracking this is not the game for you. I've enjoyed my time with it but it's largely just because I wanted to play a JRPG. If I wasn't in the mood for a JRPG (and this was one of the few that work well on PC) I wouldn't be playing it. It also needs to always be known this ends in a cliffhanger. Be aware of that.
