The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC has made me realize why people miss old-fashioned Final Fantasy titles. The video game, developed by Nihon Falcon, is a Japanese JRPG that takes queues from a number of established JRPG's including Nintendo's very own Xenoblade Chronicles, Aquaplus's Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception, and Bandai Namco's very own Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Additionally, using some clever story bits, and a very underrated reference to Thanos' infamous Snap, Trails in the Sky contains such incredible writing and settings that even those who disliked Blade Runner 2049 will still enjoy the franchise.
The game stars two cousins as they travel along the countryside, in search of their mother Lina (named after Lina Inverse from Dota 2)'s husband. The husband, named Cade, has left the world of Liberal to the nation of Amestris to partake in stopping a deadly military plot from the nation of Ebony. As the cousins travel across the country, they encounter all sorts of wonderous folk including a Zany martial artsman, a dominatrix Motoko-Kusanagi inspired whippersnapper Scheherezade, and the charming but deadly Oliver.
With a combat system that combines the best elements of Fire Emblem's incredible partner system and a soundtrack so good it could have been composed by Uematsu, The Legend of Hereos: Trails in the Sky FC is a fantastic entry into the long-running franchise, and is a definite must-play for all fans of Light Novels, Manga, and Cartoons worldwide.
9/10
