If the Liberl arc (previous 3 games) were the introduction to the world, then the Crossbell arc (this and the next game) introduce the politics of that world and the growing web of issues the entire continent will face in the coming 7 installments. The scope of story these games tend to take is, paradoxically IMO, vast without losing or glossing over the minor, zoomed-in intrapersonal moments: The days in the life of a slapdash police unit The gang corruption at the heart of a tiny city-state The political drama of the continents biggest powers The threat of an existential and potentially biblical crisis All interwoven and inseparable, yet this arc manages to bounce between these perspectives in a way that keeps a consistent pace without losing a single thread. Personal, local, institutional, national, and even the metaphysical; each layer is given its due and incredible attention is given to the details of how they each effect one-another, all while remaining narratively coherent and theatrically/cinematically clever as all hell. And I haven't even mentioned the insanely smartly written characters. From international disasters to a private moment on an airship, this team can write for any occasion and they use that skill to full effect to make a gripping, all encompassing tale. The one thing I would have to warn against is I would NOT START your dip into the series here. Falcom have taken a risk with this series and even though it's broken into arcs, every single game is a direct sequel; From the first one released in 2004 to the most recent one released in 2022, they are all designed to be played in sequence and expect as much from its player base. Trials from Zero is no exception, and while it is a separate arc with a new lead cast, there are integral events and characters to THIS game's specific story who rely on your knowledge from the previous 3 games. To drive this point home: This is not an enthusiastic fan's recommendation to 'just play the prequels for the TRUE experience.' It is my belief that you will be straight up lost without the knowledge of the previous 3 games, and it is not written in such a way that it'll still make sense on its own 'so I can just play the prequels later if I want deeper details'. It's not just 'nice context to have,' as far as I'm concerned Trials in the Sky 1, 2, and 3 are mandatory to have any hope of keeping up and enjoy this installment and ALL there after.

Never heard of Trails before? Read this: The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero is the fourth entry in the long-running Trails (or "Kiseki") franchise and builds upon the events and gameplay of its predecessors. Unlike other popular JRPG franchises such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Trails games all take place on the same continent and have one continuous overarching plot. While each arc tells a seperate story, events from one game have consequences for future titles and old characters reappear. Can you still start with this one? You can theoretically begin with any game in the series, but I highly recommend playing the games in release order . Trails from Zero partly spoils events from the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/251150/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_in_the_Sky/]first [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/251290/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_in_the_Sky_SC/]three [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/436670/The_Legend_of_Heroes_Trails_in_the_Sky_the_3rd/]games and concludes character arcs that began in that trilogy. The games themselves are also very good and are worth a playthrough. My review: [*]Did you enjoy the Sky trilogy? Yes? Then play Zero. You'll feel right at home since Zero plays and looks exactly like Sky. Combat, story structure and quest design are virtually unchanged. There are new turn bonuses, new Quartz, new (combo) crafts and naturally, new cryptic and permanent missables that you won't find unless you're using a guide! I told you, you're going to feel as if you've never left Liberl. [*]At first, I had a hard time warming up to the Special Support Section and Crossbell State, the new setting. Was it the lack of a certain twintailed Bracer? Who knows. By the time the end credits rolled, however, I didn't want to part with Lloyd, Elie, Tio, Randy and all the endearingly eccentric NPCs of this buzzing city state. While Sky had select standout characters like Olivier, Kevin and Estelle who all were peak entertainment, I feel as though the Special Support Section had the better overall group dynamic. The story also took an unexpected direction when things picked up, which was especially interesting after the events that took place during Sky. Can't wait to jump into Azure after a short break. [*]On normal difficulty, I found the game easier than Sky FC. Losing fights is very uncommon, especially if you approach field enemies using back attacks. Bosses are on the easier side as well, the only somewhat troublesome encounters are the final bosses and optional chest / quest encounters, but even those can be overcome with little challenge as long as you come prepared. Conclusion: All in all, Trails from Zero is a worthy successor to the Sky Trilogy. While the gameplay is essentially the same as the previous games, the new cast and setting help to keep things fresh and exciting. The bar has been set very high and I am very curious to see how things will unfold in Azure.

It's incredibly brave of Falcom to make a series that is so heavily connected between games. This is the JRPG equivalent of an epic fantasy novel series and it's a blast to see where they take it and the lovable (and hateable) characters with every new installment. Oh, and also the gameplay is fun AF so that helps. If you haven't played any of them start with Trails in the Sky FC and enjoy the ride, it's a wild (and incredibly long) one.

May 2024

Trails from Zero is a very solid and engaging RPG with a story centered around detective work, which is a nice slight change of perspective for the series. It doesn't cover any new ground for Legend of Heroes, but it plays to the series' strengths well. You should play the Trails in the Sky trilogy before this one and if you've made it through those, you'll have a very good sense of whether or not you'll like this one as well, as long as you're okay with no English voice translation. It would be nice to fight a major opponent who didn't transform into a monster at the end for no particular reason whatsoever, but I'm not sure that Japanese media is allowed to be released without that wrinkle at the conclusion of a story, so I guess that it gets a pass.

8.2/10 I played this before with china copy (joyoland) version with modded fan translation called geofront. This release actually cooperation with them. https://geofront.esterior.net/2021/06/25/from-fantasy-to-reality-our-partnership-with-nis-america/ Can't believe literally different version of the game, this release can use my old geofront save (backward compatibility) and update the in-game achievement to steam achievement. I got 39/48 plan to do the rest when i replay the game again. Like top review said 49,3% of owners already finished the game.
