One hell of a game. The ending left me speechless and made me say "THAT'S HOW THE GAME ENDS???". Playing this series from the first game to here made me realize that all of this led up to this moment in the finale. All the events happening in the background, the Hamel incident, the Azure tree, the Liberl incident, everything that has happened in the previous lead-up to the one singular event. I'm honestly glad I played from Trails in the Sky or else I wouldn't have this amazing playthrough. Not only that but, this is where it starts to pick up, plot-wise and character-wise, especially for Rean. This game made me love Rean even more to the point where all I say is GOAT, RAW, PEAK, FIRE. This game was just something else.

“Thus marks the beginning of the flame's end. Despair washes over the empire, the continent...the world. But don't lose hope. Even in this darkness, flashes of light remain. In every heart, every pair of joined hands, and in eyes fixed firmly on the future. Rest for now...then rise once more. To see this wretched fairy tale through to the end.“
