Finally i'm done with all 12 released games (at the date of this review) and i'm so glad i decided to just use a fan translation instead of waiting 80 years. If you have the time i highly recommend playing the whole series. This was a long journey i picked up trails in the sky because i loved the old school pixel graphics and that was the best decision i made. I'm looking forward to the new chapter of this story and the upcoming sky remake

As per usual, Kuro no Kiseki II is yet another great entry in the Legend of Heroes franchise even though it's not without its fair share of flaws. It doesn't really advance the Calvard arc plot forward very much but it does expand on character backstories from the previous game and offers more gameplay variety in the form of mini games. The OST has some good tracks but also some mediocre ones so in that sense it's perhaps not quite what we've seen in the past from LoH game but it's still of sufficient quality overall. Overall, I enjoyed my time with the game and am highly anticipating Kai no Kiseki, which should be out in September 2024 in JP.

An excellent game with much of the stock in this one going towards enhancing the gameplay and battle systems. Coming from Kuro 1, this feels like a much more complete vision of the game, with the field combat sections being greatly enhanced with the addition of quick arts, the new tag system on dodges, and enemies having much more threatening attack patterns on the field. Enemy variety and enemy packs are also greatly improved, with some interesting dungeon designs coming in towards the middle and latter half of the games, a first for the Trails series overall. Fishing and mini-games make their return as well, having some welcome evolutions in those regards as well. The shard search function while interesting, reminds me a bit too much of Assassin's Creed Eagle Vision or Batman Detective Vision, constantly pressing it to see things ruining some of the nice new areas and vistas available in this game. Narrative-wise, this is a direct sequel. In the sense that, these two games are incredibly closely connected I would almost be tempted to lump them in together under the same umbrella. It continues and expands plot threads from the previous game, giving more screen time to characters who largely didn't get much time to shine in Kuro 1, while also expanding on some of the relationships and themes presented in Kuro 1. I almost feel as if the team had run out of time, and so had to split the game into these two halves, which would explain the quick release date between the two. When coming into this one, simply keep in mind that it has much more of a focus of tying up threads in Kuro 1 itself, rather than purely pushing the Calvard arc as a whole. Although the 'time' mechanic has offered some pretty interesting narrative moments that are pretty unique to the series as well, and how it plays and dances around those were some of my favorite moments in this game. Nonetheless, it is an excellent game and an excellent addition to the Trails series by cementing the fun kinetic nature of the field battles, and the deep tactical systems present in the command battles. It added some welcome variety in the gameplay and iterated on all of the best parts in the first game while also adding some new stuff. I'm very much so looking forward to seeing what Falcom has next up their sleeves in Kai no Kiseki.

Trails fans held hostage by Cold Steel for 5 games can't handle a game not pushing their "Grand narrative" for 5 seconds and call this installment trash because its mostly character building. But for anyone who doesn't just regurgitate that this is a pretty good game that does basically everything Kuro 1 does but better, we go more indepth with each cast member, the rollercoaster pacing of the first game is almost completely gone for a smoothed out experience, the game doesn't shove 3+ sections of 4spgs down your throat before the finale. Kuro 2 handles being a middle game better than most, instead of pretending like its in a position to move the plot it just makes you fall in love with the cast and moves the plot a teensy bit, I'd expect opinion of this game to go up after we get the third game, but at the moment everyone is upset because they can't take more character development games, so this will go unappreciated until that rabid need is sated.

My favorite trails game. I absolutely adore this game despite everything. It's so different form the Cold Steel Arc, but connects back to the feel of the Sky Arc. This game scratched the itch I've been waiting for in this series, and I couldn't be happier. Van is my favorite protag in the whole series, and the rest of the Kuro cast is exquisite. The Twist and Turns in this game kept me on the edge of my seat which I haven't felt seriously from a trails game in forever. They went dark with it, and people will be mad that they didn't commit to it, but I'm just impressed they even went that way in the first place. The prologue stunned me and made me want more. I need Kai no Kiseki please I want to see Van again, the villains as well. The intermission is single handedly the greatest piece of writing and gameplay in the series, and I don't think I'll ever forget it. Combat was awesome. It was a straight upgrade from Kuro one and I couldn't be happier. The blend of Turn-Based and Action combat was so unique and I'm glad to see they made it better here. Magic was a great addition to the field combat as a whole. I also can't decide whether Elaine or Agnes are the better pick for #1 girl. Maybe both? If I had to pick one, then Elaine. Love the childhood friend dynamic, but Aaron will always be the true best girl in my heart.
