Above Expectations
I played the Cold Steel series first and hoped that the first Sky series would be just as good. And yes. It went over my expectations. Great dialogue and gameplay. World-building is so good - even NPCs have a story behind them. Truly a gem to be played.

Put simply, this is a good TBS JRPG.
The story and characters are well-written, and while the plot can be sometimes a little bit predictable, it still eventually delivers. The dialogs between characters is also good and comedic sometimes, and has quite the natural feeling to it, especially at the points which it sometimes "strays" beyond the subject of the dialog (such as short discussions about trivial matters, which are not essentially related to the plot). The combat system is simple enough, while the combat itself has a nice depth to it, although I found myself mainly sticking to a specific technique to defeat enemies. Finally, there is quite the amount of areas to explore, even though some of them are pretty useless (has nothing to interact with). The distinctive cons (in my opinion) that I can indicate, are: * Enemies which are defeated in combat, only to resurrect and cause more trouble - sometimes in a different form. This doesn't happen too often, but it does - and although a common thing in JRPGs, I personally consider it a rather cheap plot device. * Extensive exploration is (again, IMO) not rewarded good enough. Sure, you wondered around an area or location, looking through every crack and ally, but you'll mostly find nothing. That's a shame - I think that a player should be rewarded for exploring esoteric locations, especially those who're not essential to the plot. The developers made it - but the player may never experience it and why should he? He'll gain nothing from this. * Areas without maps. Yeah, some of the dungeons have maps or direction indicators – while some don’t, which makes you to lose your bearing quite often, and sometimes when you’re in a dungeon, save, quit and return to the game only a few days after – you’ll most probably forget where you were and where you were heading… * The game is rather short, and the characters could have used a little more perks and upgrades... All in all, this is a good and solid buy - personally, can't wait to play the sequel :)

The Start of My Favorite Series
Trails is a JRPG game with a fairly simplistic combat system. The graphics are dated, but coherent. The spritework is great. The music is decent. The depth of the world and the plot is top-notch. I never thought I would have a game replace the Suikoden series as my favorite RPG series, especially on the worldbuilding front. I was so wrong. The best part of this game is that, even though it is fantastic, it lays the groundwork for its even better sequel and the continuation of the series. It's like finding out that the best cake you've ever tasted is just the chef getting warmed up, and there's more to come.

Unmatched Storytelling and Gameplay
One of the best JRPG series of all time. The chemistry between each character and the world building that surrounds them is extensive and perfect. The gameplay is engaging and deep enough without getting obtuse, though I will say if you aren't a total newbie you should start on Hard rather than Normal difficulty.

Very Solid JRPG
This game surprised me with how much depth it offered and how much I liked the characters, even if it isn't quite "amazing" at anything. Perhaps the greatest strength of this game is in it's high attention to detail in its world and setup for future mysteries (and sequels) without feeling the need to make a big deal of it. Nearly every NPC in the game will have a name, and will change their dialogue over time or act as recurring extras you can get a small story from if you pay attention. The overall story was also well done, if a bit too cliche and predictable at times, with an excellent build-up in scale. It's no Final Fantasy VI, but it tries hard. The protagonist is basically the daughter of a previous (non-existant) story's legendary hero, but doesn't know it, and sets out to fill his shoes while he's away, which is a premise I really like. The combat was enjoyable, often required actual thought, and rarely required grinding if you did sidequests, with the XP gains from particular monsters scaling down relative to your level till it becomes worthless. I definitely liked it more than the classic Final Fantasy style, but it has its weaknesses when it comes to the lack of variety in ways to counter spells and effects. I felt like I abused the powers the game gave me to make the final boss a cakewalk by simply spamming the completely impervious "Stone Wall" spell each round which negates an attack on each party member. Plus some fights (notably one of the last bosses) were heavily dependent on a particular status effect to be challenging, and so were either a nigh-unwinnable nightmare or rather simple with the right equipment. Some enemies *always* try to stop you from casting a spell if you are doing so, which is easily abusable to prevent bad attacks. New equipment was almost always a linear upgrade rather than an interesting choice, with accessories being the exception. Spell animations also were painfully long, but there is a turbo button. Solid 8/10 for me.
