A perfect conclusion for the Sky trilogy. It sorta serves as a epilogue for the people that enjoy the cast while adding more depth into Kevin's character. It also plants the seeds for future Trails games through dialogue and Star and Moon Doors (Sun Doors are more so like minigames) that contain short stories that are essential to the world-building and future arcs. The main story is a bit on the shorter side and the game is structured like a linear dungeon crawler with a large pool of characters that unlock the more you progress. The combat is more polished with crazy difficulty curves in some boss fights. It is the toughest of all in the Sky games. Overall it's such a great game and had a blast from it besides chapter 6's pacing being sluggish. Whoever came up that this is the skippable Trails game, they're crazy.
This game is my favourite so far in the Trails series. Many of the enemy encounters are really well designed, encouraging the use of varied tactics and a range of interesting party setups. Nightmare mode is actually quite well balanced whilst maintaining a high level of difficulty throughout the adventure. This is largely due to this game making extensive use of custom stat multipliers for many enemies rather than the blanket approach to stat increases seen in the first two games' higher difficulties. The combat system has also seen some new additions. Enemies can now have weaknesses and resistances to the higher elements (time, space and mirage) and a number of extra turn bonuses have been added that increase combat variety. A number of these effects such as deathblow and vanish can be rather extreme, further encouraging turn manipulation to avoid devastating consequences for your party. The game's side quest structure is significantly changed with the new 'memory door' system framing them as side stories from the perspective of other characters. A number of these 'doors' effectively act as an epilogue for the events of SC whilst others provide setup for future entries of the Trails series. It is a shame that these quests aren't integrated as seamlessly into the main adventure as the bracer guild missions from the first two games. However, these ones tend to be on the more interesting side. The main plot of this game is slightly deemphasised, placing a greater focus on the dungeon crawling and combat aspects of the game. As someone who primarily enjoys RPGs for the gameplay, I appreciate this change. Whilst those that mainly play these games for the story may be a bit disappointed, the story in this entry is still quite interesting, offering more insight into Kevin's character and really fleshing him out. One small nitpick I have is that the scroll wheel no longer works on some of the menus during battle. I found that this messed with my muscle memory a bit as someone who primarily uses the mouse to control these games. Overall, The 3rd breaks many of the conventions set by the first two Trails games whilst providing its own unique strengths, mainly in the combat design and the side stories. It isn't quite as immersive, focussing more on dungeon crawling rather than adventuring across the Country of Liberl, but it still offers a compelling experience for fans of the previous entries (especially for those that enjoy this series' unique combat system) and I would highly recommend playing it.
I’ll admit, the heavy dungeon-crawling focus isn't usually my thing. But it completely won me over by how it ties up so many loose ends, using a very interesting and unconventional structure to deliver the lore. I’m already hyped just thinking about a potential Remake of this. Seeing the stories behind each "Door" with modern visuals would be incredible. And that ending? Absolutely stunning. It’s easily one of the most emotional and well-crafted finales I've ever experienced.
