I tend to somewhat excuse stories in video games because I mainly focus on gameplay and characters, but when it comes to Trails games, I will be more harsher with my criticisms because the games are very story focus first and foremost. There are way to many things that confuse me such as the fact that the main party goes around taking requests across the empire when their country is going to war?? Like why??? Also why is their little to no deaths at all?? Like some characters live without repercussion?? Like this really makes me upset because there are many amazing aspects I love about this game such as Ash and Altina's character arcs and the big reunion in Act 2. I also really wish New class 7 got more focus since I feel like they are way more endearing compared to Old class 7.
