Personally I think this version is better than the remake and it’s cheaper lol

Sept. 2025

With the remake coming up, I wanted to get in on the ground floor with this series and see what the hype was about. I really didn't know what to expect as had purposely kept myself in the dark about the Trails games, but I can safely say that after this initial outing I'm desperate to play more. For me, this game is carried by its story, characters and world building. It was so refreshing to play a JRPG where the stakes were relatively low for the most part! and instead focused on small, personal problems. While this all does eventually tie in to a grander plot, it still manages to feel grounded throughout as the journey felt so organic. Gameplay elements like combat and the orbment system were fine, I enjoyed the fighting and dungeon crawling when necessary but it really does play second fiddle to the story of Estelle and Joshua. It wasn't uncommon to go an hour or so without a battle and just soak in the moment, whether that was taking the time to reflect while doing some fishing, or helping out new friends with a school play . All this culminates in an ending that managed to leave me shocked even 20 years after it's original release, so I really have no choice but to carry on. I feel like I've just read the first entry of an epic saga and I've got that satisfying comfort of knowing there's plenty more volumes to go.

Sept. 2025

Personally, I'd play this version of the game over the remake (even though I will be buying the remake). For me, since the original game ends with a massive, unforgivable cliffhanger, if you enjoyed the remake then you'll be compelled to play the second game, which would be an incredible shock having to go back to the original game style. Maybe so disjointing that new players simply won't be able to stomach the downgrade. Since the remake is a "test game" to judge how well its received, remaking the second one isn't guaranteed and would be years out. Not worth waiting years to conclude the story with richer modern play-style at probably double the price of the original second game, IMO. And my personal biggest bias; I'm 62. So I'm at the age where I can't wait years or decades for games. So IMHO, play this version of the first game in the series and let the game engine and play mechanics evolve naturally with each new title in the series. and then go back and play the new remake after you've completed the Sky trilogy. That's what I intend to do if I should live so long.

Aug. 2025

download SkyInstaller for the best experience with this game. it adds voice acting, you won't regret it at all.

Feb. 2025

To anyone looking to start this trilogy, PLEASE play it with the EVO voice patch! The Japanese Vita version had voice acting that is not present in this release, and it's extremely high quality and absolutely fantastic. I find it criminal that so many people are playing without it, because it adds so much more emotion and character to the game. Do it for Olivier. His voice actor went hard. (also the game is very good)
