Trails In The Sky 2nd Chapter Review
An impressive remake which captures everything that made the original so endearing.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is a remake of the second game in Falcom's Trails series, a role-playing game known for its intricate world and interconnected storylines. The original game was only available on PC and handheld consoles, but the remake brings the game to a wider audience with a sleek 3D redesign and updated gameplay.
The story follows Estelle Bright, a bubbly and confident heroine who sets out to find her adopted brother Joshua, who has suddenly recalled his true origins and disappeared. The remake maintains all the best qualities of the original game, including its story, side quests, and characters, while also offering visual and gameplay upgrades to fit modern standards.
The remake brings to life the story and characters with full voice acting, and reprises the original voice actors of Estelle and Joshua. The characters are quirky and entertaining, with a lively balance of humor and emotional depth. The addition of Brave Points from the Cold Steel saga adds a new twist to the combat system, allowing players to execute powerful Brave Attacks that inflict massive damage.
Despite some minor issues with pacing and fast travel points, Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter offers a streamlined and engaging adventure that retains the essence of the original game while providing a fresh perspective.
