Exhilarating gameplay, masterful controls, and ground-breaking level design. Thank you Jim's Adventure for reigniting my love for video games.

Best Tales game with the best main cast of characters and best story idk haven't played the rest but I know I'm right
One of my favorites games of all time, the whole Trails in the Sky trilogy up to the Crossbell duology are genuinely my favorite JRPGs of all time. While not necessary, the experience is even better with the japanese voices mod.

Loved the first because it was very innovative, but I COULD NOT get past the first few missions on this one. I tried 4 times. It just got old and boring. But I admit, it's not a bad game.

Vankino is very quick-paced and fun (also on the short side), the over the top cutscenes are worth it alone, but the gameplay is the biggest highlight
Least favorite Trails game, it's very generic anime school-setting and very predictable a lot of the time. It's still enjoyable despite that, but not as good as the rest.

Great game when you start, then it goes downhill very, very fast, then it becomes just MID.
It's a gacha game with actual gameplay (rare) and a big interconnected open world, which is why it's praised so much. But it's really not that good beyond that. I love some of the character designs and their writing but their gameplay is limited to basic attacks and 2 skills, sometimes 3 if you count the HOLD skill which leaves a lot to be desired. It has a decently deep story going on, but with awful storytelling. Would be much better if there were more animated cutscenes and less talking with random NPCs no one cares about, they genuinely make watching paint dry seem more enjoyable.

My personal favorite Trails game and probably my favorite JRPG ever. Easily the most well-paced and also the most hype game in the series.
+ 5 Stars for Estelle being in the game
- 3 stars for the Deep Carnival soundtrack
+ 2 stars for the other returning characters
- 10 stars because Angelica exists
I lost count but game is fun and has Estelle so 4 stars
Overall the game could have been so much better though, the storytelling leaves plenty to be desired

Never have I been so bored with a 3D Mario game before, it's pretty, it has cool new mechanics, but I do not like the moon system or the way Mario controls despite being pretty good, I did not find it fun, it feels... stiff? Mario feels slower and heavier than ever. I admit the controls are good, but I can't get myself to enjoy it

Good when it released, bad after Melee
Would be 5 stars if it had good single player content but it's probably the WORST single player experience in the entire series.
Spirits are not fun, there was like 1 good cutscene in the entire WoL when there was potential for so many good ones. Those awesome cutscenes used for revealing the characters? None of that to be seen here.
Apart from WoL there is really barely anything, the Classic mode is the SAME every time so it gets boring after 1 or 2 attempts. A consistent score system is NOT worth taking the randomness away that kept the mode fresh.
They add a cool new mode called Squad strike and they don't even bother implementing it online, that's also pretty annoying

One of the most fun games I managed to play on the GameCube. Almost everything about it was perfection
Hiyoko was right Mikan sucks
Best Call of Duty. Best Campaign, best multiplayer, great zombies though I can't say they're the best
