And to think this is just Chapter One...

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (hereinafter referred to as simply "Trails") is part of a long established trilogy of titles that saw release from 2004 in Japan, a PSP release worldwide as of 2010 and now this lovely PC edition from Nihon Falcom (localized for English speakers by XSeed). Trails is a game absolutely dripping with meticulously crafted lore and detail. Every NPC has their own name, their own lines of dialogue and their place in the game world including a very distinct personality (I kid you not). In terms of overall story and without spoiling too much, let me leave you with the fact that this tale concerns a journey of self-discovery inflected with loss, betrayal, conflict, political intrigue and expertly placed twists. The game events do take place in one kingdom, but it readily becomes apparent that the stakes in Trails are too high for this virtual real estate. As per the game's description on its store page, you are in for a strategy JRPG with turn-based elements that take part on grids during combat and isometric traversal during routine travels on the map. The combat system here is very nuanced and EVERY MOVE COUNTS. Even simply selecting move to a tile without an accompanying combat action can spell the difference between stealing an enemy turn and making more moves than normally allowed or simply dying. Aurally, Trails has absolutely superb music all around that fits into every village, town and city you visit. However, the combat tracks are the real draw here. Then again, what else can anyone expect from Nihon Falcom? (for reference do take some time to listen to tracks of their previous work in the Ys series of games). When you get to the end of this very worthy game, you'll realize that this tale is far from over... And the resolution for this chapter is simply stellar. Localization for the last two should be ongoing, but for now, do NOT miss this chance to grab Trails right here on GOG. This is an essential JRPG purchase.

Good JRPG but with one crucial flaw

The game itself is pretty good. The characters were funny and interesting, the battle system (a mix between old final fantasy and final fantasy tactics games) was interesting and fun and the music was nice. But here comes my big warning to all who are still unsure if they want to buy the game or not: The game has an open end! In the end you see a trailer for the second game which, according to wikipedia, will come out later this year. If you don't mind this and some pretty long dialog sequences then you will have fun with this game. Myself i can't wait for the sequel and i hope it will also be avaible on GOG

Perfect if not for its...

...way too long and extremely frustrating ending. After spending so many hours with the protagonists, solving all kinds of mysteries and revealing more and more of the conspiracy we find ourselves face to face with... more hours of pointless and boring grind in an never-ending underground dungeon were all we do is collect orbs and lvl up in order to face the final boss. Fine, whatever, is not like I wish for more story, more character development, more of what already got used with through the entire game. No, I'll just grind myself for couple of hours without any of that, at least the final boss will be worth it, right? RIGHT!? Oh boy. I'll not gonna spoil the "fun", but let's just say the words "hell" and "go to" will pop up in your head at least once, if not each time you foolishly believe is over and then get a complete party wipe just so you can... restart the entire thing, and I mean the ENTIRE THING! Yes, the memories of the ending made me question if I'll ever play another game in the series. It absolutely ruined the entire adventure, the fun, the story, the game itself. Did I mentioned how HARD is the ending? No? Well, you see, the huge underground dungeon is there for a reason. To GRIND, and you will have to grind and grind because, if you dared to actually play the game as a game not as a grindfest then your level is way to low for the final boss battle(s). That was a conscient design choices. The developers knew that many players will reach the ending underleveled and, instead of lowering the boss fight difficulty, decided is more "fun" to add 3-5 entire Diablo levels for you to grind for a while (2-3 hours) and lvl up. Except for this extremely annoying decision I have nothing but praise for this game. And even with this miserable ending I can say, PLAY IT, it's worth it. Just don't rush it, and make sure you lvl up your orbs (area heal, area stonewall) or you'll gonna have a bad time.

Nostaligc Fun

If you're a fan of JRPGs from the 90s/early 2000's you'll enjoy this. The first trails game but its also good to go back to if you've played some of the more recent ones. Excellent combat system, memorable characters and the music is great. Hopefully the remake comes to GOG as well.

Fun RPG with interesting characters

I've not come too far into the game, but already I can tell there's a lot of personality in the different characters. The main characters are especially fun to spend time with and watch grow, and they bounce off one perfectly off one another. The graphics hold up surprisingly well, and with a mod you can get voice acting for an overwhelming amount of dialoge. I look forward to seeing where the story goes, as I'm having a lot of fun so far.
