The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

[h3]“Trails in the Sky” — больше, чем игра. Это начало путешествия, которое останется с тобой навсегда.[/h3] [i]Обычно JRPG дарят тебе мир. Эта — дарит тебе жизнь.[/i] Когда ты запускаешь Trails in the Sky, ты не просто начинаешь игру — ты входишь в мир, где каждый NPC имеет свою историю, где диалоги — не «пропускаемое» препятствие, а [b]вкусное литературное блюдо.[/b] Здесь даже охранник в заброшенной деревне скажет тебе больше, чем половина главных героев в современных AAA-проектах. [b]Эстель и Йошуа[/b] — не герои с шаблона. Это герои, которые растут на твоих глазах. Улыбаются. Ошибаются. Болеют. Любят. А когда понимаешь, что вся история — это только глава 1 в огромной саге Trails… мурашки бегут по коже. [b]Боевая система?[/b] Глубокая, тактическая, без перегрузки. Приятный баланс между олдскульной сложностью и комфортом. [b]Саундтрек? Саундтрек[/b] — это сердце игры. Каждый трек от Falcom Sound Team jdk проникает прямо в душу. Я до сих пор слушаю The Feeling of Dancing with the Wind каждый раз, когда иду по улице один. [b]Если ты устал от пустых игр, которые забываются через день — сыграй в Trails.[/b] Ты забудешь, что такое “скипать диалоги”. Ты захочешь читать каждую строку. Ты будешь улыбаться, когда вернёшься в Ролант. Ты поймёшь, что тебя зацепило. Но будь готов. Эта игра затянет тебя в мир Zemuria… и отпускать уже не будет. И это прекрасно. Спасибо, Trails. Ты изменила мою планку того, какой должна быть RPG.

Ever wonder what a jrpg can be like where the main character is not a soulless silent husk and instead a fully fleshed character with personality and dialogue? Wonder no longer they did it back in 04

In anticipation of the remake, I decided to play the original version first for a basic understanding of the premise and gameplay. What I found was a beautiful and engaging RPG with fun gameplay and character progression, an amazing story and great music. Even the graphics are appealing, despite the age. I highly recommend anyone considering a playthrough of the series to try out this original even after the remake is released. Immerse yourself in the world, talk to everyone you can and learn about Zemuria and the Liberl Kingdom in this first game in a long running series. Can't wait to play the next entry!

I have absolutely fallen in love with the series and already played most of the other games in the series. This game was extremely fun to play and I enjoy the story just as much as every other game in the legend of heroes series.

TLDR; I wish I could give this a thumbs up and down because the game itself is great. I am giving this a thumbs down for the PC version, though on the Steam Deck I would give this a thumbs up. The game is very charming and the story is really good. It is older and is a bit rough around the edges and missing some quality of life features found in more modern games. There is a lot of text but I went in treating this as a Visual Novel JRPG. The world and character building is some of the best I've played. I am giving this a thumbs down for the PC version, because I have had quite a few problems trying to run the game. First, when I loaded the game initially it started in full screen and it had strange artifacts and looked very bad. I had to play the game in windowed mode to fix it and then that was fine. Next, my biggest issue was with the trying to use a controller. Sometimes it loaded flawlessly and the controller worked, other times not. I have uninstalled the game, reinstalled the game, loaded the game from the configuration tool, enabled steam controller, disabled controller, etc. I tried a both an Xbox and PS5 controller to see if it was just one or the other, but both had issues being detected. Once detected though, it would work fine that play session. I don't have experience just trying to use the keyboard for controls. Lastly, I had one save file get corrupted but thanks to others in the community, I learned there is an autosave that saved me literally hours of gameplay. With all that said, I finally ended up just installing the game on my Steam Deck and it worked right away. Honestly, it played better on the Steam Deck than my PC. I didn't have any graphical issues and no problems with it detecting the Steam Deck controller. The text is a little small, but for me it was readable without using the magnifier. I didn't measure the battery life but I played recently about an hour and the battery went from 100% to 86%. All in all, the Steam Deck was a great experience but I would almost recommend waiting for the remaster for the PC.

Please buy this game. It's one of the best JRPGs I've played in my 43 years on this Earth. Of all the JRPGs I've played, I valued story and characters. This game delivered in spades. That's all you really want from a game, right? And for an actual review, it's a story-driven turn-based JRPG with incredible writing and great characters and story. Once again, buy it.

Прекрасная игра своего жанра, что по сути является прологом к основному действию, которое начинается во второй части Trails in the sky SC. Как и многие другие русскоговорящие игроки я познакомился с этой серией игра благодаря DeadP47. Хотя на картинках в Стиме и по некоторым комментариям может сложится впечатления, что игра "старая" и сюжет в ней банальный, но это только от части правда. Графика в игре приятная, и пиксели в глаза не давят. Сюжет и вправду простой, но проникнуться миром получается и по большей части иммено что маленькие истории и квесты делают для меня эту игру особенной. Лучший пример это фестиваль и конечная сценка в театре. Игру рекомендую. Покупать советую сразу же со второй частью, потому что сюжет обрывается как раз в конце "пролога" и нужно тогда сразу переходить и играть в SC

I was recommended the Trails series by a very fervent streamer. Picked it up because it was cheap, knowing nothing about the series outside of being a long running JRPG. What I got was a tactical combat system, one hell of a story and some really fun moments. Is it the best out there? No, there are a number of flaws, not least of which is the lack of depth for most side characters (there are a lot of them and not a lot of time to flesh them out, hoping that future games in the series will flesh them out further). But it is a great start to what I'm hoping may be a fantastic series. Definitely worth giving it a go.

It wasn't the first one I played but it started the greatest JRPG series of all time and deserves my biggest recommendation. Play with the Japanese voice EVO mod pack, really takes the game to a 10/10.

The greatest JRPG series starts here!! A little slow at times, but the character development and world building is top tier. Anton is the best NPC in any game.

This is a very cozy game to play if you don’t mind spending the time in. Definitely the kind of game you wished you had played sooner if you’re finding it later in life. I feel like a changed person after going through the whole Sky series and I’m very happy I got to experience this game the way that I did. Very bulky story, so bring popcorn. Game takes its time developing characters and world building. Even the side characters get a bit of love in this regard. It may be long, but the payoff at the end was well worth it. Game really cares about the characters and it shows. Even the side quests help with developing the story and exploring different sides of characters. Battle mechanics felt hard at first but overall combat is simple enough. Almost to the point where it feels incomplete. Yet there is still strategy that goes into boss battles and some fights will make you work hard for them. I love how the characters can be super animated at times. Seeing the different expressions of the sprites and portraits always makes my day. I especially like Tita’s little victory cheer she does when she gets the last hit. I know pixel graphics aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if you can look past it or grew up in the pixel era, I’m sure you’ll enjoy watching the characters. Overall, I give the game a solid 7/10. Not necessarily gonna be for everyone, but any rpg enjoyer will find something to love about this one. [spoiler] 8.5/10 when you realize this game was nothing more than a giant tutorial for what’s to come later. I don’t think an ending to the game has every played me like that before [/spoiler]

Great game, bit dated in parts and the story is at a canter for the majority. If you enjoy the characters, you'll enjoy the game.

Havent beat the game yet, but I just had to write this while it was in my head still, but the side quests in this game are REALLY cool. Of course youve got your normal "go beat up stronger monster" quests but a bunch of the other side quests have like interesting things that they make you do and most of them have you interacting with the characters in the towns in a meaningful way. EDIT: Finished the game. Damn...

Отличная игра с интересным сюжетом, интересным миром и живыми персонажами. Отличные шутки, подача сюжета, отношения между персонажами. Интересная боевая система, но моментами было душновато.

Wow. I had heard this was good, but I didn't think it would be that good. I'm reminded of finishing Baldur's Gate 1 for the first time, and just having that feeling that you just finished an epic adventure. The story building is slow, taking its time to build its world, characters, and plot. Each new region gives you a new mystery to solve, and then in the end, all of it connects into a grand finale. I really like the balance between a full tactics game, and a simple turn based JRPG. You have to think about positioning, without obsessing over it. Great game, and I can't wait to jump into the second one.

amazing series fun turn base system that gets better each game stories phenomenal love this arch

Use the soralite voice mod and you'll have an enjoyable story and acting

Undoubtedly the best place to start the series. I've played through several other Trails games and while the mechanics and visuals are a bit dated at this point, the pacing is solid and seeing some of my favorite characters for the first time has been awesome.

If you played this game without the voice patch, you didn't beat the game.

Trails is the best series of all time and this game is a damn beautiful start

Fun combat loop, good progression

I wasn't sure I was going to like this, mostly due to me not liking Chained Echoes overall, but I'm glad I picked this up (and the second, and the third game). Some of the controls on keyboard and mouse take a bit to get used to, there's too much dialog even for minor side quests/assignments, and there could be a bit more QoL things implemented; however, the overall game is amazing.

Great game, but too many missable things.

it has a good story rich in the people. enjoy the turn based

beautiful... just beautiful 1/12 games completed, on to sky sc now

If one prefers narrative JRPGs, and I mean, Lord of the Rings length ones, if not higher word count numbers. And for emotional players who can be swayed by storytellings.

If you like story and Lore this is That game!

This series hooked me more than crack could ever dream to, would buy again.

Greatest game of all time

old but gold.

good game

Everyone should play this.
