Slice of life is cool, not 100% I like the school academy setting for Trails though. Too many anime tropes, but the cast grew on me over the course of the game and it was fun. Game suffers from being 90% buildup due to having to introduce so much in a single game. Final dungeon/final boss are so out of nowhere and the cliffhanger ending is some BS but what can you expect from a series that has a million games all connected. Crossbell is better but a good start for the Erebonia Arc. This would be rated lower if I wasn't too deep into the Trails journey.
