pretty hot so far
Full review on my website (Geofront patch): https://www.nepikigaming.com/reviews/the-legend-of-heroes-trails-from-zero/
''It comes as no surprise that I absolutely fell in love with The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero. Gameplay-wise it’s a nice improvement over the original Sky trilogy with a good amount of quality-of-life enhancements for an even better experience. But obviously when it comes to games like these, the world-building, story and characters are the driving force behind the game. Trails from Zero delivers on all three fronts with a good story that keeps the action going, a loveable cast of diverse characters and excellent world-building. Particularly the last part is noteworthy, as Crossbell uses its smaller region size to keep relations with citizens and important characters very consistent. You also learn straight away just what kind of messed-up state Crossbell actually is due to a strong start, and the game keeps being strong right till the very end with its characters and story. For a game this consistently good, it should come as no surprise that I give this game my highest possible rating: a 10 out of 10!''

Pretty damn good, probably the best side content and core gameplay in the series. The main party is a mixed bag however, Randy and Tio are pretty great while Llyod and especially Ellie fall flat. The supporting cast does fare a bit better. In a lot of ways though, this feels like a lesser version of trails in the sky. Even during the final boss, I was just thinking of SC's final boss in the back of my head. It's still a good bit of fun, Crossbell City itself and its sidequests also do this game a tremendous favor.
Arrancamos la saga de Crossbell con otro juegazo. Es acojonante el world-building que demuestra esta saga en cada entrega, aquí incluso más destacable al ser una localización más pequeña y donde puede desarrollar mucho más sus temas polítco-sociales.
Crossbell me ha enamorado, y por supuesto sus personajes no son menos. Al cuarteto protagonista se le coge mucho cariño, y Lloyd se está convirtiendo en una potencial Estelle (a nivel de gustarme). El guion se me ha hecho más ameno que FC, estar ya tan metido en la saga ayuda claro. Y teniendo un comienzo bastante lento (aunque te pone en el meollo en la primera escena) como todos los TLOH, sí que noto que va repartiendo más los momentazos que el FC, que prácticamente te reventaba el culo ya en el final. Aunque no tiene ese FINALACO del FC claro.
A nivel jugable y gráfico es bastante continuista, como siempre añade ciertos detalles al combate para ir evolucionando, además teniendo sentido narrativo estos cambios. Eso sí, en el diseño artistico, sobre todo de personajes, es mi preferido, por encima de los Evolution y primeros Trails.
Musicalmente, también se ha vuelto mi favorito de la saga por ahora, se la vuelve a sacar el Team Jdk. En definitiva, la saga sigue manteniendo un nivelón, y tengo el hype por el Ao que me va a explotar un riñón.

Pretty fucking good
Look ma, I got over the language barrier.
And the barrier is a bop.

Trails but consistently good, Zero top 1 hive stand proud we love games not carried by having a hype moment every 6 hours.
I stopped playing this one, cuz the Japanese got too complicated... May try out the English fan patch someday. For now it kinda excerbated the problems I have with the Trails-games in general. It's so goddamn wordy and slow. When I played Trails in the Sky it didn't even get started till 10 hours in. And even only watching Trails of Cold 1 & 2 felt like it takes forever to get going...
I don't know, I love the world-buildung and characters and the plot itself mostly...I even kinda consider myself a Trails-Fan in a way? But maybe I just like watching it instead of actually spending all that time to finally get to the "good part" myself.... Maybe I see things differently when I play this one in English for now though, that's were I am at

Improves upon the formula set in Trails in the Sky the 3rd in almost every way; I was hooked from the beginning and the struggles of all the main characters felt very real. And apparently Trails to Azure is even better than this? God I can't wait for Geofront's patch to come out.
amazing build up for ao
i wish the SSS were real
This game is the perfect example of quality over quantity. The whole thing takes place in one small town and stars a small cast of only 4 characters from start to finish, but by the end of the game you are incredibly attached to Crossbell and the SSS. I look forward to going back when Geofront finishes their translation of Azure.
best beginner arc in trails
played halfway through on PSP, finished with the Geofront patch. Best Trails soundtrack btw
Incredibly solid, with a wonderful patch from the Geofront. Randy Orlando is best boy
Crossbell is cool and it has Inevitable Struggle

This game is a bit slow and these characters do not get to shine as much as they get to in Ao no Kiseki. However, this game has my favorite moment in the whole series for me. Renne's story arc coming to an end is one of the most heartwarming and touching stories I've ever witnessed in fiction.
honestly the ending kinda sucks since it just shits on the themes that the game was building up, but apart from that it's pretty good. the central cast are all very well characterized (Renne's arc in particular is a highlight of the entire series to be honest), and the music is just as good as what you'd expect from pre CS3 falcom. just turn the difficulty down to easy because the combat is needlessly tiresome and the final dungeon in particular is painful.
Crossbell really is a city
i cannot wait to see randy again in azure
This game is absolutely amazing, god tier cast, gameplay, music and story
My favorite setting in the Trails series so far. Unlike Sky, I enjoyed the game the whole way through and I really like seeing the SSS grow and interact with each other.
The Crossbell Anniversary Festival is one of the best chapters in any Trails game
if the SSS was real the world would be a better place
Peak found family
Weird way for Randy to tell us he's a war criminal.
this cast so good. Lloyd, Tio, Randy, Sergei, Zeit, Coppe, Noel, Wazy, Rixia. All of them.
this is literally everything i couldve asked for in a videogame ever

i wish randy grab my cock like he does with his huge stick
Really great time with great characters and the same cozy vibes from Trails in the Sky. Sometimes it does feel like the game rips plot elements straight from the Sky trilogy but it still did enough to get its claws into me and get me interested in the story it wanted to tell on its own merits. The whole plot about trying to uproot corruption inherent in society is a great one, and the way they resolve some of the hanging plot threads left over from the Sky trilogy is amazing. Great time overall.
