For those who are looking to get into these games for the first time, check out my guide here: https://therpgspotlight.wordpress.com/2020/01/06/a-primer-on-the-legend-of-heroes-trails-series-and-why-you-should-play-them/ Trails in the Sky starts out slow paced, but its world building is sublime, and the game serves as the foundation for one of gaming's most ambitious franchises. Estelle and Joshua are really likable characters, and the game does a great job developing them over time. If I had to highlight one issue, though, it's that the gameplay can feel a bit clunky and archaic since it's the very first game in the series. Early game progression can feel somewhat slow as a result. Thankfully, Trails in the Sky SC and onwards pretty much fixed this issue.
