A very mediocre game, but still enjoyable. There isn't a whole lot that stands out for Trinity Trigger which makes it feel like a generic game.
The story is unremarkable and doesn't become more interesting after the first few hours of the game. It has only one notable plot twist, but it doesn't leave much of an impact. I do like the setting and world though so it did have potential to be something even better than it actually ended up.
The main characters are likable, but they lack character development and depth (small exception with Zantis). Otherwise, they are very static in growth and you don't learn much more about them after their first appearance.
There are a few story NPCs, but I guess due to the lack of screentime, their impact on the story is minimal. A shame since some appear to have interesting potential.
The music sounds nice for most of the game, but within the large sea of JRPGs, the songs comes off as generic and forgettable.
The graphics and art direction are colorful. I liked the chibi character models too, but overall, the graphics aren't that detailed or impressive. I will say that the many different towns have decent variety in appearance so that was nice. They have their own identity and are unique compared to each other despite most of them are pretty small in scale.
Combat is probably one of its stronger suits, but even then, it's not particularly remarkable. Due to the stamina system, you can't really do long combo chains and there's no juggling enemies either. There isn't much customization for the weapon attacks other than having the option of switching out each of the three weapon chain skills for one more at each tier. Fortunately, you can equip accessories like attachments to your weapons and armors for various effects. I do wished the combat was at least faster paced too.
I beat the post game story in 25 hours and cleared all of the sidequests. It seems like a short game, but there is a decent amount of content mostly due to the 50 sidequests in the game. They are generally simple to do and have some nice small story to them so it's worth doing them. There's also a number of optional bosses and enemies to fight.
For a game with mediocre characters, story and combat, I still found it enjoyable to play likely due to its comfy relaxing vibes. I never really needed to grind, but if I wanted to farm for materials, then at least it would be a relaxing experience.
If you want a chill relaxing game and not much else, then Trinity Trigger would probably be appealing. Otherwise, it's a pretty unremarkable game overall.
