Alright, now it's a party! Now, granted, whilst I did start the game after feeling the hype from the ending of the previous game, after the prologue was officially done, I had undertaken a massive several months break from the game since I felt quite burned out after going through Sky 1st, which is just a huge prologue. But thankfully, once I got back into the spin of things, I never realised how much of a treat I was going to be getting myself right into. I haven't much to say on the gameplay as it's essentially the same on how I felt about the previous game, but to a rather lesser extent on the roughness throughout. Instead of two party members for 70% of the game, you just about get four party members for around about 85% or even more of the game and for the most part, they aren't even temporary! Granted, you'll be forced to use two per chapter, but one of them is always Estelle who is the greatest creation of a protagonist ever made and the other two slots are quite flexible depending on the chapter. What I will say is that there were definitely more enemies that actively made me angry, such as the one and only enemy HP draining dust monster. I will cause that species to go extinct if I see it again. The same best aspects are the writing, worldbuilding and characters, but whilst the middle has already been mostly established because of the previous game, there have been great leaps to make the characters you either like or dislike to be further fleshed out. Most of the party members have gotten fleshed out and stand on their own feet without being completely one-sided to Estelle or Joshua, with my second favourite character of the Sky trilogy being Agate. And of course, I have to give props to the antagonists of this game for being more prevalent within the story and giving us great connections to a good portion of the party members. That being said, one of them had a really nonsensical motivation to be evil and I'm sure you can guess which one it is. I haven't much to say about the worldbuilding aspects as previously stated, it is still quite impressive with new areas and aspects to explore the previous game hadn't done before. That being said, however, the main issue with this game is exploring the same five areas once again which is the main reason I couldn't exactly continue the game for months. It's painful going through what you've already explored, even if I have a great deal of love for the characters and their stories to untangle. It's especially evident in that one chapter where you got to explore all five areas again for a mission. It was that horribly dull. Now, if you saw me fanboying over the sheer amazingness that is Estelle Bright, HOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY, I have a lot to say about her. Now, yes, she is arguably one of the weakest characters in the trilogy and because she's the main character, it can be frustrating to deal with her. However, I do not care in the slightest, because her growth is just immaculate. With the premise being that Joshua is no longer around anymore, the idea of Estelle coming into her own as a Bracer without relying on her BF's own knowledge is absolutely fantastic. She remains funny, positive and bright as the sun, but also begins to grow more confident and focused on her aims to help people, which really made me adore her ever so much. I can definitely say for certain that I am, of course, THE number one supporter of the Estelle Nation! Overall, this game is the great payoff the previous game grants you. It does unfortunately still remains with the old game jank and unbalanced gameplay and there are definitely some tropes that be tiresome to people. However, because of how absolutely I appreciate the character developments, the story, the antagonists and Estelle Bright, I can definitely say this is the best that the trilogy has to offer. Overall Score: 8/10, quite positive, War Cry 2 is the funniest craft in the entire series thus far.

I don't know where should I start. If I need to describe the second chapter in one word it would be "impossible". One word is not enough to describe the emotions I felt while playing the second chapter for The legends of Heroes: Trails in the Sky series. The first chapter already had me hooked but the second line was definitely the KO I needed. Compared to the first chapter the combat is improved tremendously, with new arts and crafts, and don't get me started with the animations for the new S-Crafts (Fantastic). The story itself feels longer because of the increased number of chapters, but compared to the FC, SC's chapters are shorter. But the only issue I have for SC is the s***** achievements. Who in there right mind would create a achievement based on poker... I spent at least 4 hours trying to get a 4 of a kind. But other than that the game is a master piece. ART 8/10 MUSIC 10/10 - I definitely like the soundtracks when Joshua and Estelle are together, so soothing and calming. COMBAT 8/10 - Still has its weak parts but it is improved. DIFFICULTY - There is a big spike in the difficulty compared to FC in the early games, but near the last chapters it is just Earth Wall spam. OVERALL 9/10 - Solid game Would recommend anybody to play this game, If you are trying to 100% the game don't be shy to follow a guide, but do keep in mind that the poker achievement is based on luck. So hopefully you have a good luck.

The crown jewel of the wonderful and special Trails in the Sky trilogy. The centerpiece, the payoff, the "it was all worth it" part. FC and the 3rd can still stand shoulder to shoulder with SC thanks to their individual strengths, but this is indeed the game where most people come to stay impressed, making it the safest recommendation with the widest possible appeal. The most important thing to be aware of is that it starts slow ; much slower than FC, arguably, since you make another round around the same locations. Dozens of hours are spent on building up the antagonists and their mysterious plan, interspersed with more side quests about routine bracer work. They’re great, memorable, badass antagonists that gain a lot from their gradual introductions, yet it still might fall short of your story-focused expectations, especially if you already have glowing reviews like this one on your mind. However, those who persist through the 1st half will be rewarded with possibly the most thorough and impressive 2nd half in the genre’s history; a total masterclass on how to resolve plot threads, conclude character arcs and deliver on foreshadowed promises. Adventure, romance, drama, tension, twists, tragic backstories, scheming masterminds, convoluted politics, epic confrontations, satisfying conclusions and perfect sequel hooks – this story has it all, and it does it all beautifully. The endgame is particularly spectacular, starting with a multilayered political face-off where conversations feel more dangerous than any battles, then delivering on the key mystery with bold and thought-provoking sci-fi themes while also giving a perfect closure to every single participant’s personal story. The final chapter is also where the combat peaks (not that it was bad before, just more limited) as you finally get the full party and access to all magic. The only weird thing is that due to some balancing mishap the cheapest spells still remain more useful than most high-tier spells, but regardless, every key boss battle feels just as epic and thorough as the stories surrounding them. The cast is varied, likeable and utilized to its fullest potential. Everyone is given their time to shine, no one is forgotten, yet nobody turns into a "me too!" parrot like it often happens in more recent Falcom games. Estelle is an incredible protagonist, and it’s a true pleasure to watch her gradual yet unmistakable growth. The Big Bad deserves a special mention too, neither a cackling JPRG madman nor an oh-so-sympathetic victim of the circumstances but a chilling, intelligent, sadistic schemer who can put the party on the brink of defeat without personally lifting a finger. Even if you’ve already been burned before by "it gets better later" recommendations, I’d highly encourage you to give the Sky trilogy and SC a chance. It really is a gold standard of how to deliver on your own story’s promises and turn an unassuming start into something truly special.

If you haven't played the first game, stop reading, go play it, it's great. If you have played the first game, stop reading, go play this game, it's amazing. If you've played both, you know they're both great, so this review is pointless. 10/10 game
