I’ll admit – I had some reservations about this one. But it really won me over in the end. Equals parts JRPG and Visual Novel, I wouldn’t consider the first Trails for everyone. But for those who don’t mind lots of reading and the occasional anime trope, Trails in the Sky FC will delight with its lovable, down-to-Earth cast, and an elaborate fantasy plot, which is delivered in a simmery, slow-burning way that allowed me to bask in the emotional side of the characters and their various conflicts.
As the credits rolled, I found my self asking if tomorrow was “too soon” to start SC. And I might just go ahead and play that next!
